"Then I'm at a huge loss!" Wang Xiaohai felt that he shouldn't ask what was inside the treasure house. The better the things inside, the worse it would be for him, right? After all, it should have been his!
"It's impossible for me to work for you for a thousand years. I can only last a thousand years if I'm well fed," said Yamaomon. "You're just feeding someone and asking them to work forever without paying them."
"How are you going to return my food to me? Are you going to spit it out again?" Wang Xiaohai said.
"Work for you for a hundred years." Shanshan thought for a moment and replied.
"Okay!" Wang Xiaohai was originally negotiating the price, so he would first offer a price that the beast could not accept. His bottom line was that he had to make the Yamawei Beast Gang work for at least one or two years so that he would not lose too much money.
"I didn't expect that you would change so much after waking up... so much..." When Wang Xiaohai said such a big change, a light bulb suddenly turned on his head. His brain calculated quickly, and the fragmented pictures were pieced together in his mind to form a complete event.
"I know where your master's treasure is!" Wang Xiaohai shouted, and his voice scared the mountain tail beast. It thought that Wang Xiaohai had gone crazy after losing the treasure and wanted to beat it up!
"Where is it?" asked the Yamabimon. It simply couldn't believe that this human could figure out where the treasure was just by standing on its nose and staring blankly for a moment. Even gods weren't that smart, and couldn't do it!
"Let me sort out the timeline first." Wang Xiaohai said: "Tens of thousands of years ago, the master of the temple on this continent, that is, your old master, was defeated and died, leaving behind his treasure. In your hasty escape, you didn't care about the treasure and found a remote seaside to hide and sleep. Hundreds or thousands of years later, the descendants of the formation master or a lucky person discovered the treasure formation sketch and notes. Then he cracked the formation and created a reverse formation with several metal combinations. He searched in three places where permanent formations might be set up, and then found this place and cracked the formation, taking away all the treasure. Then he brought the treasure to Xien Grassland, It's the desert where the Marquisate of Xien is now located. He was counting his harvest on the Xien grasslands. When he opened a box containing a statue and divine fire condensate, he was cursed by the statue or some evil artifact inside. He mutated and became infected, turning into a monster that harmed people and livestock everywhere. The place where his statue was also exposed to long-term radiation and erosion. The entire ground turned into sand, swallowing up all the treasures of the formation breaker. The desertification gradually spread like a virus. Thousands of years, tens of thousands of years... The original Xien grassland area became the Xien Desert. So you didn't remember it wrongly when you and I went there that night. This is how the grassland turned into a desert!
Shanshan snorted proudly, "My memory is excellent, I won't go the wrong way! And I remember the statue you mentioned too. It seems to be a collection of my master. It can emit virus light. Humans exposed to this light will mutate. Of course, it is ineffective against demigods, and the effect on sentients is also weakened. That's why it is placed in the treasury. Because only demigods can fight him. He can kill those below demigods with just one finger, so there is no need to use such laborious methods to deal with them. And there is another thing you are wrong. That grassland was not called Xien Grassland before."
"Don't interrupt, I'm trying to sort out the events." Wang Xiaohai said, "Just over a year ago, Marquis Sean's men crossed the desert and unexpectedly got stuck in the area where the statues and treasures were. After the knights who led the team escaped, Marquis Sean learned about the strange things there and felt that there must be treasures underneath, so he sent a steam excavation team to dig for treasure. Originally, he had a dispensable mentality, so he didn't send many steam excavators, probably only a few. Then, at a banquet of high-level nobles, he must have leaked it out intentionally or unintentionally during the conversation. At that time, he was not sure if there was a treasure, and at most he just thought it was a strange talk. Then, it was heard by several dukes around, so they suggested forming a joint excavation team. At that time, it was just a way to keep in touch. Anyway, a few steam engines were not worth much money, so the initial alliance to excavate the treasures of the Sean Desert was formed. Things that were originally hopeless actually changed later! The joint team dug out the first Marquis Sean was undoubtedly the first to receive news of a treasure trove of items, including statues and divine fire condensates. He quickly secured the valuables for himself, then distributed a divine fire condensate to each of the Dukes, including Sob, telling them that the treasures had been fairly distributed. However, Marquis Sean kept the best treasure for himself. He was ultimately troubled when it came to disposing of the statue, as it emitted viral radiation that could transform humans and other creatures into mutated monsters. He dared not keep it with him for long, fearing the isolation chamber would not hold up for much longer. After much deliberation, he presented the statue to the Vatican and informed them of the Sien Desert incident. Upon learning of this, the Dingwen Vatican naturally designated the Sien Desert treasure area as a joint mining area for the Dingwen Vatican and other lords. Fearing that word of his and other lords' embezzlement of the divine fire condensates would leak out, Marquis Sean wrote to the other lords with whom he had shared the spoils, including Duke Sob of the grasslands.
"I understand, what you mean is..." Shanwei Beast understood what Wang Xiaohai meant when he said where the treasure was.
"That's right. Your former master's treasure is with several lords who mined with him, including Marquis Sean and Duke Sob, as well as others. Marquis Sean got the most, and he should be living in seclusion in the Kingdom of Bestan now." Wang Xiaohai said, "The letter that Marquis Sean sent to the other lords was encrypted with magic, and would burn to ashes if opened. He didn't expect that one of the letters would be stolen by the postman Eddie when passing through Clay City. Eddie's mother was Shana's wet nurse, and she was in love with Renault. I happened to carry Shana to Renault to heal her foot injury, and that's how the treasure incident got me involved! This means that this treasure is destined to fall into my hands. Later, I met you, the mountain-tailed beast, and came here, and all the mysteries were solved!"
"Your reasoning is very good and very coherent." Yamabi Beast Shanshan said, "So what should we do next?"
"Of course I have to get back the treasure that belongs to me, either the Sean Desert or the Bestan Kingdom!" The fog in front of Wang Xiaohai's eyes was swept away, and he decided to use the simplest and most direct plan. "I learned from you, Shanshan, that viral radiation is ineffective against demigods, so naturally it won't have much effect on me. Although I'm not a demigod, my strength is no worse than that of ordinary demigods. I can safely grab the quicksand in the red alert zone, but the remaining treasures are probably just rare items. I plan to give up the Sean Desert and go to the Bestan Kingdom to find Marquis Sean and get back the treasure that belongs to me. That treasure is the most important!"
"I'll take you there. I'll work for you for a hundred years." Yamabimon said, "Fly onto my nose and head towards Bestan!"
At this moment, five meteors flew towards Wang Xiaohai and Shanshan in the distant sky. Wang Xiaohai looked at them intently - they seemed to be the Holy Knights of the Dingwen Church!
Only masters above the level of Holy Knight can fly!
A bad premonition emerged in the hearts of Wang Xiaohai and Yamawei Beast!
