"Your efficiency is very good. I am very satisfied. Where is the Glorious Magic Core?" When King Gai Shi saw Li Xiu coming back, he thought that he had exchanged for the Glorious Magic Core and was immediately overjoyed.
"I'm sorry, I haven't got the Radiant Magic Core yet." Li Xiu said.
"How come you didn't get it? Why did you come back if you didn't get it?" The Great King frowned.
"I went to the ruby mine you mentioned, but unfortunately I didn't find any rubies. I only found some red metal balls. After opening the metal balls layer by layer, I found a white soft object inside..." Li Xiu explained.
"Damn it, why is there a garbage bug there? It ate all the ruby mines?" When King Gai Shi heard the name of the Stonebreaker, he was immediately furious.
"I dug for a long time, but I didn't find any raw stone. I only found those red spheres. I don't know what garbage bugs are." Li Xiu told the truth. He only knew about the stone crusher, but didn't know what garbage bugs were.
"Damn it! Humans are so incompetent. How could they let the garbage bugs get here? Don't they know that letting that thing get into the gem mine would be a disaster?" King Gai Shi seemed a little irritable.
"What exactly are garbage bugs?" Li Xiu asked.
"That is also a kind of demon spirit. It has no other abilities and can only eat gems, so it is called a garbage worm. The red spheres you see are called garbage balls. After eating the raw stones, the garbage worms can only digest part of the elements in the raw stones. The other undigested components in the raw stones will be concentrated into garbage balls and excreted from the body. The garbage balls themselves are aggregates of various trace elements, and the main components are generally metal elements. Because they contain many other elements, they are a kind of special metal material. As for the soft body inside, it is a substance secreted by the garbage worm. It is because of this substance that it can separate the elements it needs from the gems..."
After the explanation from the Great King, Li Xiu finally understood what the garbage ball was.
To put it nicely, it is an aggregate of elements that the garbage bugs don't need. To put it bluntly, it is the dregs excreted from the body.
"It's a pity that you didn't find the garbage worm. Otherwise, after killing it, you might find rubies that have not been completely digested in its body. The rubies swallowed by it will naturally fuse together, and because the impurities have been separated out, the gems will be particularly pure..." The Great King thought that Li Xiu had not seen the garbage worm.
"Can a garbage worm eat up an entire ruby mine? Is there any ruby mine that has not been eaten? Should I go dig for more?" Li Xiu said deliberately.
"Hmph, how many more do you want? It's just a garbage worm. Not to mention that small mine, even if it's a big mine, the garbage worm can eat it all up if there's enough time." The Great King sighed, "You've dug up so many garbage balls. The mine has probably been eaten up and is now ruined. It seems like we have to think of other ways."
Li Xiu stood by, waiting for the Great King to consider it himself.
King Gai Shi was trapped here, how could he think of any solution? He pondered for a long time but could not come up with any solution.
"If you have no solution, I do have an idea. I wonder if it will work." Li Xiu spoke only after seeing that the Great King had been silent for a long time.
"What do you have in mind?" King Gai Shi asked in surprise.
"First of all, you have to tell me how to exchange the glorious magic core in the Black Death City?" Li Xiu had always wanted to know what King Gai Shi said, but he had never found a suitable opportunity to ask.
Especially how to bring the gems into the Black Death City. If he can bring the gems in, does it mean that the magic armor can also be brought in? Doesn’t that mean that he can enter the trial land wearing the magic armor?
"Of course, it is to exchange the glorious magic core with the magic merchant in the Black Death City. Don't you even know how to make a deal?" said the Great King.
"I've also been to the Black Death City, but I didn't see any magic spirit merchants there. I only saw some Black Death demons." Li Xiu immediately understood that King Gai Shi's understanding of the Black Death City might be somewhat different from the current Black Death City.
"How is that possible? Tell me in detail what the Black Death City looks like now." King Gai Shi seemed very surprised and asked anxiously.
Li Xiu recounted what he had seen in the Black Death City. After listening to it, King Gai Shi did not say a word.
After a long time, King Gai Shi sighed and said, "I didn't expect that even the Black Death City has fallen. I wonder how many places in the Demon Kingdom have not fallen."
"What do you mean by fall?" Li Xiu asked hurriedly.
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you." The Great King was in no mood to talk to Li Xiu about this, and asked anxiously, "What solution do you have?"
"Respected Supreme... King Gai Shi, although humans like me are very weak, this magic suit on me can burst out good light energy. If I can get this magic suit into the Black Death City, I can use it to kill evil spirits and obtain magic cores from them, so that I can help you collect the glorious magic cores. But as a human being, I can't bring anything other than myself into the trial gate. Do you have any way?" Li Xiu talked about this and that, just wanting to know if King Gai Shi had any way to bring the magic suit into the trial ground.
"Hmph, no matter how powerful the gadgets you humans make are still garbage. They are useless even if we can bring them in, not to mention that it is impossible to bring them in at all." The Great King said disdainfully.
"Why is it impossible to bring it in?" Li Xiu asked. If he could figure out the reason, perhaps Ximen Guan's research would be successful sooner.
"The Demon Kingdom is such a place that you cannot bring in any garbage. The things you humans make are just garbage without spirituality. Things without spirituality, of course, cannot enter the Demon Kingdom." The Gaishi King spoke with great contempt. He looked down upon everything made by humans.
"When you say spirituality, does it mean having independent consciousness?" Li Xiu asked with a frown.
"That's about right." King Gai Shi said impatiently, "Do you have any other ideas? The way you mentioned doesn't work at all?"
Li Xiu felt disheartened when he heard what King Gai Shi said. He thought it would be extremely difficult for Ximen Guan to develop a magic suit that could allow him to enter the Gate of Trials.
To allow the magic suit to have autonomous consciousness is equivalent to allowing the robot to have autonomous consciousness, which is as difficult as God creating humans.
Although artificial intelligence has existed for a long time, it relies on algorithms and does not really have autonomous consciousness.
"Besides that, I don't have any other good ideas." Li Xiu asked in confusion, "Since I can't take anything without spirituality with me, then even if I get a ruby, it has no spirituality, so how can I bring it in?"
"Humans are so stupid. Can't you swallow the gem? The energy contained in the gem is what the Demon Kingdom needs, and we can bring it in using this method." King Gai Shi sneered.
Almost all the questions he wanted to know had answers, and Li Xiu was already thinking about finding an excuse to leave here.
He had no intention of falling out with the Great King. If he encountered any problems he didn't understand in the future, he could still ask him.
"I've known for a long time that you humans are unreliable." King Gai Shi seemed to have an idea and continued, "The final problem has to be solved by me personally."
"Otherwise, how come you are the supreme...unparalleled king?" Li Xiu said with a smile.
"That makes sense." King Gai Shi agreed with what Li Xiu said and said proudly, "Then let me show you a way. Go to Black Death City again and find the smallest stone house in Black Death City. There must be a sarcophagus in that stone house. Put a bunch of gems in front of the sarcophagus. The more the better. The purer the better. The bigger the better. Don't take those junk gems. Then kneel down and pray to the sarcophagus. If the sarcophagus opens by itself, you respectfully take out a tablet inside and bring it to me."
The more Li Xiu listened, the more he felt something was wrong: "The smallest stone house that King Gai Shi mentioned seems to be the one where I took the tablet of the God of Killing. It is very small. I wonder if it is the smallest stone house in the Black Death City. But from what he said, it seems to be the sarcophagus and the tablet of the God of Killing. But from his tone, it seems that he is quite afraid of the tablet of the God of Killing. What is the origin of the tablet of the God of Killing?"
"What is that tablet?" Li Xiu asked hurriedly.
"Thing? Humph! If he hears you say this, you're dead. He really likes to hold grudges." King Gai Shi thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about it. Just do what I say. After you invite him, no matter where you are, no matter if he's by your side or not, he will never say such things again. Do you understand?"
"Alas, where can a poor and weak human like me get so many top-quality gems? How about this, I smash the sarcophagus and bring the tablet inside back to you?" Li Xiu asked tentatively.
King Gai Shi was immediately shocked: "Don't do that. If you want to die, don't drag me down with you. You must never offend it. You must treat it with the most humble attitude and invite it to you. Do you hear me?"
When King Gai Shi spoke to the end, he was already very stern and did not even call himself "the king". This shows how much he feared the tablet.
"Such a proud guy is so afraid of that tablet. So he is not talking about the tablet of the God of Death." Li Xiu did not think that the tablet of the God of Death was so powerful that it would not scare the King like this.
"Next time I enter the Black Death City, I must look carefully for the smallest stone house." Li Xiu felt that he had been worrying too much before. The ability of the Killing God Tablet was so limited that even a trial-taker like him could not handle it. The Peerless King was at least an S-level, so it was impossible for him to be afraid of it.
"I do want to ask it to come out, but what should I do if I don't have the gem?" Li Xiu threw the problem back to the Great King.
"How could I accept a useless little brother like you? I can solve all the problems, so what else do I need you for? Find a way to get the gems yourself." The great king said angrily.
"Okay, I'll go out and try my best to get the gems. However, my ability is limited after all, so it may take a while. Please wait patiently." Li Xiu said and flew towards the exit.
"Although this little brother has poor abilities and isn't very smart, he is very loyal. After I'm out of trouble, I can give him some benefits to let him know what an honor it is to follow me..." The Great King was happily waiting for Li Xiu to get the gems and ask for a tablet.
After Li Xiu came out, he did not go to find Ximen Guan to tell him about spiritual matters.
If Ximen Guan gets to know about this and starts to work on his magic costume like a madman, then Li Xiu’s magic costume will be gone.
Li Xiu planned to wait until his Lightspeed 2 was completed before telling Ximen Guan about this matter.
Returning to his room, he took a look at the tablet of the God of Death lying on the ground at an angle. This thing that needed to be hugged all day long, Li Xiu didn't think it was as scary as the Great King said, and he felt that it couldn't be the one the Great King was talking about.
"This guy hasn't made any movement recently and doesn't follow me much. Is he planning something bad in secret?" Li Xiu stared at the tablet of the God of Killing and thought to himself.
The tablet of the God of Death seemed to sense that Li Xiu was looking at it, and it slowly stood up, with its back facing Li Xiu. A line of small words actually appeared on it. This was something that had not happened in a long time.
"Boy, you only have seven days left to live. If you have any last words, go and tell them now."
"What? You want to drag me to the Blood Moon Black Death City again? Don't wait for seven days, just drag me in now." Li Xiu laughed.
"You don't have to be so arrogant. When the seven days are up, you will cry. Even if you kneel down and call me grandpa, it will be of no use." New words appeared on the tablet of the God of Death.
"Since you are so confident, can you tell me how I will die in seven days?" Li Xiu said with a smile.
"It's okay to tell you, the blood moon will come in seven days." The tablet of the God of Death reads.
"It's the blood moon again. How boring." Li Xiu kicked the tablet of the God of Death aside and lay down on the bed. He stopped looking at it, put his hands under his head, and stared at the ceiling, thinking about something.
The tablet of the God of Death flew up in a rage, hovering above Li Xiu's face, and continued to write: "I haven't finished yet, don't think it's over. During the next blood moon, a terrifying demon will enter the Black Death City. A small fry like you can't even stop that demon, and you will definitely die. Do you want to know what kind of demon it is? Beg me, and if you beg me, I might reveal some information to you so that you can live a little longer."
"I'm so scared. If there's nothing else, please don't bother me anymore. I want to rest." Li Xiu slapped the tablet of the God of Death to the ground, then turned sideways and prepared to sleep.
Fortunately, the tablet of the God of Killing is just a tablet, otherwise I would have been angry to death.
"Sleep, sleep, sleep, are you a pig?" The tablet of the God of Death jumped onto Li Xiu and jumped around there.
"Didn't you say that I would die in seven days? I'm already a dying man, can't you let me have a good sleep?" Li Xiu sat up, grabbed the tablet of the God of Death, and said unhappily.
"You still want to sleep? To tell you the truth, the evil spirit that entered the Black Death City is an extremely terrifying super spirit. Killing you is as easy as crushing an ant. If you are willing to serve me as your master, I can spare your life and not send you to that place." said the God of Death tablet.
"How about this, you serve me as your master, and I will let you send me off two more times." Li Xiu casually placed the tablet of the God of Death on the bedside table next to him, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
"You deserve to be torn to pieces." The God of Killing was so angry that he was about to smoke.
But Li Xiu ignored it, and it had no choice but to grit its teeth and wait for seven days before settling the score with Li Xiu.
It’s not that Li Xiu is not afraid of encountering a super spirit in the Trial City, but because Li Xiu has seen through the nature of the God of Death tablet.
The tablet of the God of Killing is extremely vengeful, which is very similar to the tablet mentioned by the Great King.
They have already made such a big enemy. Even if Li Xiu goes to ask the tablet of the God of Death for help now, this guy will definitely not help him and will even humiliate him.
Instead of this, it is better to ignore it, at least you don’t have to be humiliated by the tablet of the God of Death.
Li Xiu had been on trial for several days in a row, but unfortunately he didn't get the admission ticket. However, the quality of his embryo had improved to 1.5.
Nothing happened in the City of Light anymore, and all work is progressing smoothly.
Li Xiu has been keeping an eye on the situation in Hongsha City these days. He heard that someone saw more evil spirits rushing into the old mine entrance, and there were more than one or two.
Li Xiu was a little excited. As far as he knew, at least five or six S-level monsters had entered the old mine entrance.
Even though they are not of good quality, the things on S-level monsters are still quite valuable.
Li Xiu was thinking that if the demons at the old mine entrance had not left after his Lightspeed II was built, he would go there to hunt the demons. Even if he could not find the super-spiritual gems, it would be good to get a few S-level magic cores.
Calculating the time, it was only one or two days away from the day mentioned on the Killing God tablet, but Li Xiu still hadn't been able to get the admission ticket randomly.
After thinking for a long time, Li Xiu picked up the basketball-sized ruby and entered the underground space again.
You can't believe everything the tablet of the God of Death says, but you can't be completely unprepared either.
He planned to start with the Great King to see if he could get something useful out of him.
When King Gai Shi saw the ruby that Li Xiu was holding, he was immediately surprised and asked, "Boy, did you find the garbage bug?"
"This is all thanks to you. I dug for several days at the place you mentioned, and I actually found the garbage bug you mentioned. After trying every possible way to kill it, I found this ruby." Li Xiu said.
"Not bad, you did a good job. You are worthy of being my chosen brother. You are not only capable, but also lucky. I thought the garbage bug had eaten the gem and left, but I didn't expect it to be still there." King Gai Shi was overjoyed. This far exceeded his expectations for Li Xiu. He said anxiously: "With such a gem, it is enough to move the tablet. There is no need to look for other gems. You should take this ruby to the Black Death City immediately and bring the tablet back."
"How do I get it into the Black Death City?" Li Xiu asked.
"Didn't I tell you to swallow it... down..." The voice of the Great King was getting smaller and smaller. Apparently, he discovered a problem. Li Xiu was not a demon spirit, and he was not of his size. It was impossible for him to swallow this huge ruby.
