The little elves behind swam over and stretched out their little paws to push the door, but unfortunately their strength was too weak and they couldn't move the door no matter how hard they pushed.
The adult demon spirit just watched outside the fountain and had no intention of going up to help.
The little devils tried their best, but the door remained motionless.
"This is too cruel. Are we really going to just ignore the drowned little devil?" Shalai couldn't help but say.
"It is a natural law that the weak are eliminated. Even for us humans, it seems that we have tried very hard to protect the weak, but once a major disaster strikes, the first to suffer are still the weak. This is something that is difficult to avoid." Li Xiu also sighed.
"At least humans won't watch their loved ones die, right? Beasts are still beasts after all." Shalai seemed to care about this matter and was still a little indignant.
"Are you sure about this?" Li Xiu said with a smile, "If there are two children in a family, one child is exceptionally good, very good at studying, very talented in cultivation, can learn anything at once, and has made remarkable achievements at a very young age. And the other child is very dumb, can't learn anything, and is lazy and likes to eat and work, who will the family's resources favor?"
"You are confusing me with the concept. I'm talking about death. Even if you prefer outstanding children, you won't watch your children die like those beasts." Shalai said.
"It's just a matter of time. The excellent child gets better resources, generally has better achievements, and finds a better partner. The children born will get more resources on this basis. The stupid child will get and have access to fewer and fewer resources, and his family and future generations will be less able to resist risks. If both families experience an accident, they will need to pay a certain amount of resources to survive the crisis of life and death. The family of the excellent child can easily come up with enough resources, while the family of the stupid child cannot, and the result is the same." Li Xiu paused, and then continued: "Human fairness is only relative, not absolute. Although it is cruel, it is a fact that is difficult to change at present."
Sha Lai didn't know what to say for a moment. Although he felt that what Li Xiu said was correct, he always felt that something was wrong.
Suddenly, a purple light burst out from the little beasts that pushed the door. The gem on the forehead of the strongest little demon spirit actually burst into purple light. With the blooming of the purple light, the door that had been motionless seemed to shake a little.
After a while, the gem on the forehead of another relatively strong little demon began to shine.
As the gems on the little elves' foreheads glowed, the door was slowly pushed open by them.
Among the remaining five little elves, four have already started to shine. Although the brightness of the light varies, fortunately, all of them are shining. The only remaining little elf, the smallest one, has not yet had the gem on its forehead shine.
When the door was pushed open a little, the strongest little devil suddenly jumped in bravely.
Without this strongest force, the door that had been pushed open a little began to close immediately, and the remaining little demons jumped up one after another and jumped out of the door.
As the gate was about to close, little elves jumped out one after another. The little elf whose forehead had not yet shone with its brilliance also jumped in.
However, without the blessing of the magic light, its power was too weak and its speed was too slow. The other little demons barely jumped out. By the time it jumped up, the door had already closed, trapping its body in the middle of the door and crushing it directly.
The door was closed, with a trace of blood remaining at the crack and a broken tail still stuck to the door.
Seeing this cruel scene, Shalai lost interest in talking.
From beginning to end, the two adult demons just watched from the sidelines, with no intention of helping them at all.
He watched one of his children being crushed to death by the gate and remained indifferent.
The door was completely closed. The two adult demons looked at the bloodstains on the door and the corpse at the bottom of the pool, then turned and left, and their figures soon disappeared.
"Don't you even care about the body of your own child?" Shalai said speechlessly.
“How can we take care of it? Even if we take it back and bury it, it will probably be found and eaten by other evil spirits.” Li Xiu said as he pushed the door and walked out.
The two looked in the direction where the adult demons left, but they were no longer visible.
Li Xiu came to the fountain pool. The trial gate had disappeared. He jumped into the fountain pool and fished out the body of the little demon that had sunk to the bottom. He held it in his hand and felt the vitality in the little demon's body.
The heart has stopped beating and the body has no temperature. It looks like he is dead.
Li Xiu put the little devil on the ground and pressed its belly, which was swollen like a ball, with his hands. After a while, streams of water overflowed from the little devil's mouth.
While pressing, Li Xiu took out the forbidden gun and fired two shots at the little devil.
Two light bullets hit the little demon's body, one was the immortality bullet, and the other was the desireless bullet.
Neither of these two bullets has the ability to kill, the Immortal Bullet can heal, and the No Seeking Bullet can stimulate the body's potential to a certain extent.
The light from the two bullets merged into the body of the little devil, but the little devil still did not move and lay motionless on the ground.
"It seems there's really no hope." Li Xiu sighed.
"Where are you going?" Shalai asked curiously when he saw Li Xiu picking up the little demon's body.
"Buried." Li Xiu replied.
"Didn't you say that it's useless to bury it?" Shalai said in astonishment.
"Don't humans like to do useless things? I am also a human being and I also like to do useless things." Li Xiu said.
"You guy!" Shalai shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Li Xiu was walking with the corpse of the little demon in his hand, when he suddenly felt the little demon in his hand seemed to move, and he couldn't help but be startled.
Looking down at the little devil in his hand, he saw that its tail was moving slowly and its heart was slowly recovering.
"It's actually alive?" A light bloomed in Li Xiu's hand, and a trace of ultimate light slowly seeped into its body.
After a while, the little devil miraculously opened its eyes slowly, but it still lay weakly in Li Xiu's palm, its sapphire eyes looking at Li Xiu lifelessly.
"This guy is actually alive. He is really lucky." Shalai said happily.
The experience of this little demon always reminds Shalai of his own childhood. He was a tough guy, but at this moment he was particularly emotional.
"He is indeed lucky." Li Xiu said as he transferred the ultimate light into the little demon's body.
After a long while, the little devil finally crawled up by itself and stood in Li Xiu's palm. It showed no intention of attacking, but just looked at Li Xiu obediently.
As the ultimate light continued to pour in, the little elf's expression gradually became more lively, and the blue hair on its body gradually became shiny.
Seeing that it had recovered, Li Xiu placed it on the edge of the fountain pool.
The little devil looked at Li Xiu, then looked at the fountain pool, turned around and called out to Li Xiu twice.
Li Xiu stretched out his finger, and the little devil stretched out his little claws with joy, grabbed Li Xiu's finger, and called to Li Xiu in a childish voice, trying to crawl into Li Xiu's hands.
Who knew that Li Xiu's fingers used a little force and pushed the little devil directly into the fountain pool. The little devil immediately struggled in fear in the fountain pool.
"Oh my god, are you a devil?" Shalai widened his eyes when he saw this scene.
Li Xiu said nothing, just watched the little devil struggling in the pool, with no intention of taking action.
The little devil kept struggling in the water, but judging from its appearance, it still couldn't learn to swim. After choking on the water a few times, it was about to sink again.
Shalai couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he reached out to fish the little devil out, but was stopped by Li Xiu.
"Don't be impatient." Li Xiu shook his head.
"If you want to go out, you can wait for other demons to come and open the door. There is no need to bother it like this." Shalai said.
"It has to learn what it should learn. This is the ability for it to survive in the future. You can save it once, but can you save it for a lifetime?" Li Xiu released his hand and said, "If you plan to raise it for a lifetime, I don't care."
Shalai looked at the little elf in the pool, and finally shook his head, then stepped aside and said nothing.
Seeing that the little devil was about to sink to the bottom, Li Zhengzheng was about to fish it out when he suddenly saw the blue gem on the little devil's forehead suddenly glow. The blue light seemed to have cast a layer of blue light film on its body.
The little devil jumped out of the water, landed on the water surface, and stood on the water surface like a piece of wood that would not sink to the bottom.
Under the little devil's feet, the water surface froze quickly, supporting its body and preventing it from falling again.
The little demon still had a look of fear in his eyes as he stood on the ice and looked at Li Xiu.
Li Xiu stretched out his finger and pointed to the center of the fountain pool.
The little devil was really smart. It seemed to understand what Li Xiu meant and looked towards the center of the fountain pool.
The little devil looked at Li Xiu, then at the center of the fountain pool, looked back and forth several times, hesitated for a long time, and then suddenly turned around and ran on the water towards the center of the fountain pool. Wherever its claws landed, the water surface immediately froze, allowing it to run on the water.
When it came to the center of the fountain, the blue gem on its forehead bloomed with a brighter blue light. Although the blue light was far less than that of the pair of adult elves, it was more dazzling than the strongest little elf before.
The entire fountain pool began to freeze under the illumination of the blue light, and the disappeared trial gate in the center slowly emerged again.
When the door completely emerged, the little devil turned around and looked at Li Xiu who was standing outside.
Li Xiu pointed his finger firmly at the Trial Door. The little demon gritted his teeth, stretched out his little claws and pressed on the Trial Door, using all his strength to push the door.
"Just now, those five little spirits could barely push the door open. Can it do it by itself?" Shalai said, looking at the little spirit that was trying hard to push the door open.
"This is the time when it is easiest to succeed. If it can't be pushed open now, it will have to stay here in the future," said Li Xiu.
The little devil kept pushing the door, but it didn't move. Just when Shalai thought it would not open, the blue gem on the little devil's forehead became brighter again, and its whole body was burning with blue flames.
The door creaked open slowly, and was pushed open a little by the little devil.
"I'll go out first." Li Xiu flew towards the door that was cracked and squeezed through the gap.
Almost at the same time, the little devil leaped with all his might and rushed in with Li Xiu.
Bang!
The door slammed shut, and Shalai quickly blew out the longevity lamp beside him.
Shalai appeared in front of the Green Gate, but the scene he saw surprised him a little.
Li Xiu was standing not far from him, with the little blue demon standing on his shoulder. Outside the Green Field Gate was a mess, as if a war had just been experienced. Many injured trial-takers were groaning in pain on the ground.
Shalai immediately understood that the fight must have been caused by the four little demons that rushed out before.
I just don't know whether these trial participants were injured because of fighting over the little spirits, or because they were injured by the little spirits.
Shalai grabbed a wounded trialist nearby and asked, "What's going on here?"
"Just now, several demons rushed out, injured many trial-takers, and fled separately. Many trial-takers went to chase them." The injured trial-taker glanced at the little demon on Li Xiu's shoulder and said.
"Oh my god, are those little demons so ferocious?" Shalai took a look in his mind and saw that all the trial-takers outside the door were injured. Several of them had broken hands and feet, and there was even a trial-taker's body lying beside them.
"Don't underestimate them. The blood and power they inherit are very impressive. It's not easy for ordinary trial-takers to kill them." Li Xiu summoned the Masked Emperor and waved to Sha Lai, "Let's go."
Although Li Xiu was anxious to return to Changshengtian, he still went to Taro City on the way.
The city of Tyro became even more chaotic and did not get better because of Kunsha's governance.
The economy of Tyro City has already collapsed, and it is difficult to save the situation with Kunsha alone.
When he saw Kunsha, Li Xiu was shocked and almost didn't recognize him.
Kunsha looked much less energetic than the last time I saw him. Although he was in his thirties, he already had quite a few white hairs on his head.
"It's great to see you again." Kunsha gave Li Xiu a hug, with the smile on his face still sincere.
"If you can't hold on any longer, the City of Light welcomes you anytime." Li Xiu said after releasing his arm.
Kunsha smiled and said: "I know I didn't do well, but this is my home. I hope to do my best. Maybe this won't change anything, but this is the only thing I can do."
Li Xiu couldn't help but stand in awe. What Kunsha had paid for Tyro City was far more than what he had received from Tyro City. Until now, he was still able to remain loyal to this. This was truly something that not many people could do.
"Since you don't want to go to the City of Light, are you interested in doing business with me?" Li Xiu said after thinking for a while.
Kunsha shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Now most of the mines in Tyro City are no longer in my hands. Even if I want to do business with you, I don't have the capital, and I can't drag you and the City of Light into it."
"When I say business, I don't mean the gem business." Li Zheng said calmly, "Business must be profitable to last long. Pity can't save Tyro City."
"What business?" Kunsha realized that Li Xiu was not simply trying to help him, so he asked hurriedly. He couldn't think of anything else that Tyro City could cooperate with the City of Light on, other than the gemstone business.
"Are you interested in the magic equipment business?" Li Xiu said with a smile.
Kunsha smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't it too late to start making magic equipment now? Not to mention the lack of technology, I am afraid I can't even afford the money to buy equipment. What's more, the equipment we can buy can't create high-end magic spirits."
"You don't need to make magic armor. You just need to produce a component of the magic armor. That component requires gems as raw materials. Although you have very few gem mines now, this is a production area after all. Even if you purchase and process them, you can still make money." Li Xiu said.
"What parts? Who will they be sold to after they are processed?" Kunsha asked immediately.
"Sell it to me." Li Xiu said, pointing at his nose.
Kunsha was slightly startled, and then overjoyed: "Come, let's go to the office and talk in detail."
Li Xiu really wanted to help Kunsha, but it was not just a pure favor. He really needed a place to produce such parts.
Among the new magic suits, there is a component that requires gemstones as raw materials, but there is a serious shortage of gemstone materials in White Night City. The cost of importing gemstones from the Southern Cross Federation for further processing is also high.
If a production line could be built in Tyro City, it would not only solve a large part of Tyro City's employment problems, but would also allow Kunsha to earn some money from it.
After all, Kunsha’s purchase of gems is much cheaper than that of White Night City, and the labor costs in Tyro City are also very low nowadays.
If successful, the price the Chu family gets for the finished product will be much lower than if they purchased the materials themselves.
As the Chu family's magic equipment production increases, Li Xiu's share will certainly increase a lot, which can be said to be killing three birds with one stone.
"If this production line can really be built, it will be a great help to our Tyro City. You will be our Tyro City's great benefactor!" After hearing everything Li Xiu said, Kunsha was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
"You're exaggerating. I just want to make money. There are still many details that need to be resolved. After I return, I will contact the Chu family as soon as possible and hold a three-party meeting to see if it is feasible. Whether it can be successful depends on the final evaluation." Li Xiu did not dare to guarantee that it would succeed.
Kunsha knew in his heart that if Li Xiu really just wanted to make money, there was no need to give him such a business. In fact, the other main cities of the Ten Southern Federations were far more suitable than the chaotic Tyro City.
Li Xiu certainly had his own considerations. Taylor City was indeed in chaos, but precisely because of the chaos in Taylor City, the gem resources and labor here were very cheap. Taylor City also needed this production line more, and would pay more to keep the production line, and it would also be easier to control.
After a brief chat with Kunsha, Li Xiu did not say much as he knew the details still needed to be handled by a professional team.
After leaving Kunsha's office, the two came to the living room and saw Qin Shi and Sha Lai sitting on the sofa in the living room.
