Starting From Zero

Chapter 21 Everyone Has Their Own Agenda

Dart is worthy of being the fastest magic pet. Yaoyao's speed is obviously no match for him. After chasing out of the city, he was knocked to the ground by Dart after a few ups and downs. But what comes next is a bit troublesome. The reason why the nine-tailed fox is listed as one of the top ten dangerous monsters is mainly due to the combination of his attack power and speed. However, the dart is only a monster that wins with speed. It is possible to catch up. However, after catching up, there was no way to subdue him!

"Bailang. Go up and help." I pointed forward, and Bailang rushed forward.

Yaoyao was dragged by the darts, and Bailang quickly chased after him and fought with him. Bailang was big, and Yaoyao was obviously at a disadvantage, but he immediately transformed into a giant and started to fight, and Bailang also automatically cloned himself and started to resist. At first, Yaoyao could still resist, but Bailang became more and more successful in fighting, and Yaoyao obviously couldn't stand it anymore.

Just when Yaoyao was about to fight back desperately, Bai Lang and Fei Dart suddenly jumped back. Yaoyao instinctively felt that the threat came from the sky. When he raised his head, he saw a similar ripple in the air hitting him. He wanted to run but was unable to do so. The ripples made a strange sound when they touched the ground, and Yaoyao felt as if he was pressed to the ground by a huge force, unable to raise his head. In fact, he was lucky not to be knocked unconscious on the spot. Asuka's shock wave bomb is more destructive to the harder things, and Yaoyao's soft appearance just protected his body, otherwise the shock just now would have been It's going to kill him.

Yaoyao was angered by this attack, and he began to rub his tail, and a blue flame flew towards the bird in the air. But the flying bird relied on its climax flying ability to perform a beautiful roll down from an almost impossible angle. The flames were thousands of miles away and did not even touch the edge. Asuka is a blood thorn. As the complete evolution of the spear, the blood thorn has higher speed and flexibility, and even has much higher defense. It takes more than one or two magic tricks to knock him down from the sky. It can be done.

The tumbling and descending bird suddenly rolled up its wings, and long blue-white flames were sprayed out from behind the four jet thrusters on the wings. I saw that it was Asuka's fatal attack - Sky Dance. The speed of the spinning bird became faster and faster, and soon it became flying close to the ground. Because of his high speed, a vacuum zone was formed behind him. After he slid over, the grass on the ground and the surrounding leaves were rolled up. It was like a tornado on the ground.

I want them to capture Yaoyao in order to use him to avoid the 50 million fee. If Asuka is hit this time, Yaoyao will be minced into pieces. "Asuka, don't hurt him!"

The flying bird is indeed a flying champion and has good control at this speed. After feeling the message from the telepathic contact, the bird suddenly lifted up and flew over, almost brushing against Yaoyao's head. But the flying bird can turn, but the tornado behind him cannot turn. A tornado composed of soil, turf, branches, and small stones directly hit the demon.

Yaoyao is characterized by strong attacks and high speed, but defense is not his specialty. When the tornado hit Yaoyao, he had almost no resistance. The strong wind swept him into the storm and rolled him forward. Bailang on the side realized that he seemed to be standing too close, so he picked up the dart beside him and jumped over a hundred meters in a few ups and downs. The high speed of the tornado is like a dryer. It continuously rolls in small objects on the road and then accelerates to a sufficient speed before throwing them out. When these small stones left the tornado, their speed was already terrifying, and they almost broke when they hit the surrounding branches. Fortunately, we have now left the Qilin Mountain temple gathering area, otherwise the house would collapse again!

Suddenly a silver thing flew out of the wind, it was Yaoyao. Xiaofeng, who had been waiting nearby, flew over to catch him in the air, grabbed him and flew back to the North Star Lord's yard. After being put down, Yaoyao stood on the ground and staggered as if he had drunk too much. Circles were spinning in his eyes, and it seemed that he had been knocked unconscious by the tornado.

"Xiao Feng, keep an eye on him. If he runs away again, I will set him on fire and burn him into a bald fox."

Xiaofeng turned into a human and stood there, holding a ball of flame in her hand threateningly. "Don't worry! If he dares to escape, I will roast him and make fox skewers."

I nodded and turned around to follow Mr. Polaris into the room and briefly discussed the matter of promoting our country's religion. Because the matter was simple, it was discussed quickly. Mr. Polaris was responsible for providing people and efforts, and I was responsible for providing money and space. Taoism actually teaches more than just Taoism, they also teach martial arts. These things are very attractive to foreigners. If you want to gain a foothold in a foreign country, you have to rely on your own nation's things. We will definitely suffer from relying on foreign culture to compete with foreigners. After all, they understand their own culture much better than we do. .

After leaving Qilin Mountain, I also took the little fox away with me. Mr. Polaris didn't say anything at all, but I still explained to him that I was only temporarily lending it to his apprentice and would return it to him later. After returning to Essinger, he immediately called the big pot of rice back, and Yue Ran was also brought back. Yueran immediately jumped up to Yaoyao happily after seeing her, but Yaoyao didn't seem to like this kind of overly affectionate behavior.

I picked up Yue Ran by the collar. "Hey, don't get too excited. Did you forget something?"

"I'll write it right away." Yue Ran was carried to the secretary's room by me and started dictating the secret document that she had eaten.

It took a whole day to write three large books of information. After writing, she and Yaoyao were locked together for temporary custody. Ditans could not release them until Ditans nodded. Who knows whether the information written by Yue Ran was true. Maybe she doesn't remember those things at all, it's just a reason to delay.

Use the transnational teleportation array to reach Tianyu City, and then proceed to the Dark Temple. Along the way, I was still planning how to communicate with the priests there. Under normal circumstances, the priests would not agree to bring people to meet the main god, otherwise the main god would be annoyed to death. As a result, as soon as I arrived at the gate of the temple, a cold voice suddenly appeared behind me.

"You are finally back!"

"Wow!" I was startled, and when I looked back I saw that it was the lich from last time. "You want me to treat you like you?"

"I am a lich. Even if you die, you will still be a ghost. You will not become my kind."

"You're in time, take me to see Ditans quickly. He has finished what he asked me to do last time."

"Come with me, the main temple has already notified us. As long as you come, you don't need to be notified. We will take you in directly."

"Then let's go."

I followed the Lich, and halfway through he suddenly turned around and asked, "Did you get the secret information?"

"You got it, what are you doing?"

"Have you seen what's inside?"

"What's inside?" I thought of the information. "I want to read it! What you wrote in that thing is all cipher text. I asked several of my subordinates, but no one could understand it!"

"That's good!"

"What?"

"Save us from having to silence you!"

"Huh?" I broke into a cold sweat! If you read it, you will shut up. Isn't this information too important? Suddenly my mind flashed, could it be said that Yue Ran understood the secret text? The fact that she can write dictally means that she should understand. Such an important thing must be a good thing. Go back and ask what the content is.

All the way into the underground palace, Ditans had already been notified and was waiting for me at the gate. When he saw me, he rushed up immediately and said excitedly without waiting for me to say hello: "Where are the information?"

I took out three major books written by Yue Ranmo and gave them to him. "It's all here."

Ditans took the information with trembling hands, carefully opened a page and looked at it, then flipped through a few pages and browsed, and finally turned to the middle and read a few pages. I closed the book with a bang. "Yes, thank you for your help. The Dark Temple will thank you. I will honor the conditions agreed in advance. In addition, if you can do one more thing, I will be happy to lower your fee a little more."

"Happy to oblige!" I smiled and waited for his next step. I would be a fool not to do it if I have money left over.

Ditans handed the three books to the men behind him and put a hand on my shoulder. "Isn't the little fox cute?"

"It's very cute." The furry little guy is very cute. Although as a male, I don't express my preferences as exaggeratedly as girls, but I still like the little fox very much.

"I know everyone likes cute and fluffy animals, but now I need you to break this habit."

"Huh?" I looked at Ditans strangely. "you mean……?"

"Since this fox can write silently, she must have understood the content. As you know, this is a confidential document, and I don't want anyone to know what's inside."

"You want me to kill the little fox...?" I made a killing gesture with my fingers on my neck.

Ditans didn't answer, just smiled and patted me on the shoulder. "You're the smart one."

"This goes against my ideas." I said it euphemistically, believing that Ditans should understand that I was refusing.

But Ditans didn't answer my words, and suddenly talked about something else. "I heard that your city is expanding and there must be a shortage of labor. There are exactly 1 million workers in the Dark Temple. Do you need them?"

Damn Ditans, this is obviously tempting me. If I want this batch of labor, I have to kill Yue Ran, and even Yao Yao must be silenced. Who knows if the two of them will communicate with each other after being together for so long!

Seeing that I didn't respond for a long time, Ditans added: "My laborers are all high-level skilled workers, and their ability level is definitely higher than those of laborers in the outside market. I can rent them to you at a low price, guaranteed Much lower than the market price. To express friendship, I can provide you with a collection of rare gems. I believe your Magic City needs these things."

This guy Ditans actually raised the price with me, but I have to say that I was tempted. "I really need labor, and high-end gems are also something I need. But I don't have the money to buy a lot of gems, and for labor, I don't think renting is a good idea."

"I will sell you 1 million high-level technical workers and 300 million crystal coins. From now on, their life and death will have nothing to do with the Dark Temple. As for gem mines, I will sell you 1 ton of mixed gems for 100 million crystal coins, and they are highly processed. Yes. Am I interesting enough?"

This guy is too cruel! The price just offered may not be easy for ordinary people to understand, so it would be easier to understand if we use another metaphor. The price of the Titans just now is almost the same as buying a high-end sports car for 10,000 yuan. This price can basically be understood as getting it for free. The actual value of those things should be about the same with a zero added at the end.

People have set the price to this level, and there is nothing left to bargain with. Smiling and reaching out to him. "Happy cooperation." The two little foxes far away in Essinger didn't know that they had been sold.

"Happy cooperation." Ditans took two glasses of red liquid from the waiter behind and handed one to me.

After clinking glasses, we both drank the liquid at the same time. I turned around and left with a normal expression, waved to Ditans with my back, and left the underground palace gracefully. He walked out of the temple with a calm look and left the sight of the temple at a calm and normal speed. When I could no longer see the temple, I rushed into the forest under a tree and opened my mouth, and a mouthful of red liquid spurted out.

"***, this guy Ditans actually drinks blood! It's so disgusting!" It's super uncomfortable to have a mouth full of blood. Although I'm not afraid of blood, I don't have the habit of drinking blood. Even if I'm bitten by a vampire like Vina, I There is no urge to suck blood. It may be that the blood in the body is too complex and is not affected by the vampire's blood.

After vomiting, I took out the water bag I carried with me, filled it with water and rinsed my mouth. I vomited it out again before I dared to drink water. Fortunately, there is a dietary system now, so I bring water with me, otherwise I would be in trouble! Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly realized something was wrong. The big tree behind him made a strange sound. But when I looked back, I saw nothing.

Just as I turned around to leave, there was a sudden bang behind me, and the big tree that I had just spit out blood rose up from the ground. What was even more terrifying was that this guy actually opened a pair of blood-red eyes. I quickly backed away from Yeying, but the big tree actually pulled out its roots from the ground and stood up.

"Shu Si?"

Phantom immediately said: "It doesn't seem to be Shusi! Those eyes should be that of a dark creature."

Since it was a dark creature, we needed to ask Ling. He quickly summoned Ling and pulled her back while letting her see what it was. Ling only took one look and said: "This is not a dark creature, it looks like an ordinary big tree that has been demonized."

"Demon?" I realized something immediately. "Damn guy, you want to harm me!" There must be something wrong with the mouthful of blood that Ditans gave me. Seeing that there are still some blood stains on the main trunk of the demonized tree, I plan to show it to Ling for study.

Wow, the two and a half months behind him flew out at the same time. After all, the big tree is a big tree. Even if it becomes demonic, it is not a big deal. Two and a half months can easily cut off the main trunk of the big tree. As soon as I waved my hand, the head of the dragon's sinew rope was accurately inserted into the section of wood with blood stains, and the section of wood was pulled up easily. The two half-moons that cut off the big trees crossed each other and leapt in the air. The moment they crossed, the half-moons suddenly ignited with red flames. The half-moon filled with flames hung and flew back. When it hit the big tree again, the flames easily ignited the trunk. The demonized tree quickly turned to ashes in the flames.

"Look what this blood stain is?" I handed the wood to Ling.

Ling looked at it and then got closer to smell it. "This is the blood of blood used to demonize the paladin. After the paladin drinks it, he will become a dark temple knight and be loyal to a specific person or organization based on some things in the blood."

Dear Ditans, do this for me. "Why did nothing happen if I kept it in my mouth for so long?"

Ling stretched out two fingers and said: "First, you have the blood of a vampire, and the way of digesting blood is rather strange. There is something wrong with this kind of blood prepared for ordinary creatures. However, if you drink a large amount, you will still be demonized. As long as But the dose required is larger. The second reason is this." Ling pointed to the badge of the Temple of Chaos on my chest.

"This thing can prevent demonization?"

"This is the protection seal of God. It's not trivial to deal with dirty things like poisonous wine. Although Vina is usually crazy, she is after all one of the strongest gods that transcends light and darkness, except for the God of Origin. She’s the best.”

"Original God?"

"Just like the Mother Goddess of the Earth, there is also heaven and earth enshrined by Taoism. In fact, heaven is a god and earth is also a god, but it never appears, so few people know it. Isn't the temple of Lord Polar Star enshrined in heaven and earth? ? It is said that he is also a god himself. How powerful do you think the god he must worship is? It is said that gods like us of light, darkness, elements, etc. are all cultivated by various races. Before North Star Lord became a god They are human beings, I used to be a demon, Xiao Chun is an angel, it’s all the same. But you can ask the Earth Mother Goddess, she is not of any race, if you have to say she is a god, a real god.”

"I understand." I didn't expect that there is a super god above the immortal! "By the way, Ling, what would happen if I just drank that glass of blood?"

"Ditans must know that you are not afraid of this kind of blood. If you just drank it, you will become more cold-blooded. In addition, you will be more inclined to the Dark Temple. If he makes any request, you will be easier to accept. It will not affect your consciousness. , it’s just a little bit of a disturbance.”

It seems that Ditans just wants me to complete the task and kill the little fox, but this also makes me very disgusted, actually doing this to me!

I quickly returned to Essinger and picked up the two little foxes to find Mr. Polaris again. As soon as he saw me walking into the room, the little old man immediately shouted: "Why are you here again?"

I threw the two foxes aside and said, "Is there any safe place? I have a problem and I need your help. I can't let a third pair of ears hear it."

Mr. Polaris immediately took me to the basement in the backyard. "Okay, this is protected by my barrier, let's talk."

"How much do you know about monsters?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I need you to help me find a way to solve a very troublesome problem."

"Tell me what the problem is. I think I know a lot about monsters."

I first briefly explained what happened to Ditans, but I left out some things that would be inconvenient for him to know. "I need to find a way to make Ditans think that I killed the little fox, but I don't want to actually kill them."

"This problem is more difficult to solve!" Mr. Polar Star began to think about it. "To make that enemy... enemy... blanket die! Why does this guy have such a strange name! Anyway, it is to make that god think that the nine-tailed fox is dead. There are several ways. First, the most direct way is to Let him watch the killing, or simply let him do it himself. Second, get him some kind of corpse, or something that can prove his identity but will definitely die if taken off, such as a head. Third, let him Someone with absolute trust will supervise the execution.”

"The first method won't work. He is also a main god after all. Even if I have the Illusion Goddess, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deceive him!"

Mr. Polaris thought for a while and said, "Then do you know anyone around him who you particularly trust?"

"There is a lich who behaves very affectionately, but after all, I have only met him twice, so I'm not sure, so it won't work!"

"Then the only way is to use the second method! But this won't work! If you cut off any important things, you will definitely die, and no one will believe you if you take unimportant things!"

"That's why I need your help to find a solution!"

Mr. Polaris said: "Don't get excited, give me some time to think about it." Mr. Polaris began to walk back and forth in the secret room, which made me dazzled! Standing and waiting was too tiring, so I simply sat on the box next to me and waited. "Ah!" Mr. Polaris suddenly shouted without warning, which scared me so much that I slipped from the box to the ground.

"What's your ghost name?"

"I figured out a way!"

"Say it."

"Every powerful creature will have a magic crystal in its body. Our gods are called Yuan Ying, monsters are called Neidan, and Western monsters are called Demonic Core. Anyway, they are all the same thing. This thing is the combination of true essence. Once it leaves The body, the monster will die. The monster's inner elixir will have its own memory and a lot of information, there is no way to forge it, if you give it to him, you can definitely make him believe it."

"But didn't you say that the monster will die immediately without the inner elixir? Is there a way for you to take out the inner elixir and prevent the monster from dying?"

"Of course, otherwise what else can we do!"

"Then do it quickly!" I didn't expect Mr. Polaris to really have a way. I was just here to try my luck.

Mr. Polaris poured cold water on me. "That's the inner elixir, something more important than your heart. Do you think it's cutting out the appendix? I have to be prepared!"

"What preparations need to be made? It will be faster if I come to help."

"We really need your help because we need another monster's inner elixir."

"ah?"

"I have said before that a monster without an inner elixir will die immediately, so the little fox's inner elixir cannot be taken out casually. What we have to do is to get a monster back first, and it must be alive. The inner elixir leaves Although the monster body will not disappear, it will lose its vitality within a few minutes and cannot be used anymore."

"Then we just need to capture a monster alive, right?"

"Don't worry! The selection of this monster is very particular, not just any monster will do!"

"What should we pay attention to?"

"First of all, monsters must be cultivated from animals. Those monsters formed by the gathering of innocent souls will not work. The nine-tailed fox is cultivated from animals, and the monsters with different attributes will kill him. Also, this monster is very powerful. , at least better than the nine-tailed fox. Monster power is the source of power for monsters. Although a big horse-drawn cart is a waste, it can still be pulled, but a small horse-drawn cart cannot be pulled at all!"

"I understand, is there anything else I should pay attention to?"

"Also, if you want to catch a feminine monster, you can't catch a steely monster."

"What is a feminine type?"

"Female types are female, female, and female! Monsters are also divided into male and female. That little fox is female. If you find a male monster, she will change her gender!"

"Only this?"

"That's all the monster's requirements, but there is one last thing. In addition to the monster you want to replace, you have to catch a special monster."

"What monster?"

"Anti-soul incense!"

"This name sounds so familiar! What kind of monster is it? Where can it be found?"

"This is a very special kind of monster. She is a monster formed by the wishes of the deceased. People have a very strong desire to live before death, and everyone dies the same way. Over a long period of time, countless people All lives issued such a common wish, and as a result, this wish gradually condensed together to form its own consciousness. In the end, she continued to absorb new wishes and condensed them into a monster. However, she was formed by the gathering of wishes, not resentment, so she is relatively gentle. .”

"What are you looking for him for?"

"Because the demonic power of the anti-soul incense is anti-soul. As long as she uses the demonic power, the incense will float for miles, and all the corpses will stand up when smelling the incense."

"Isn't that a fake corpse?"

"It's different. The fake corpse is still a corpse. The demonic power of the anti-soul incense can resurrect the corpse. If the soul of the deceased is nearby at the time, it will be resurrected as a living person. If it is too far away, it will become a living dead. The body of the living dead is alive Yes, but they have no soul, that is to say, they have no consciousness. These living dead are not afraid of pain, and it is much more difficult to kill them again than to kill a person. Anti-hunxiang uses these living dead to protect itself. You put her to death Please come, I will change the inner elixir for the little fox. She will definitely die once, and then I will ask Anti-Hunxiang to help resurrect her, and that will be fine."

"I understand, so she has to be willing?"

"Of course, her demonic power will not be revealed normally. Only if she is willing to use it can she resurrect creatures!"

"Then where is he?"

"I remember that she originally practiced in Heyan Zhenren's Taoist temple. Later, she was exiled to the Japanese island because she did something wrong. That is a place where monsters who make mistakes are exiled."

"Japan? Why are there so many monsters there? It's been a place of exile for a long time!"

"The place of exile is true, but there are many more monsters on our side than there. It's just that the exiles are monsters who have done bad things, that is, criminals, so the monsters on their side generally like to do bad things. The ones on our side are Monsters are all disciplined and practice in various spiritual mountains and fairy pools. If they practice well, they can become mythical beasts like dragons, unicorns, and phoenixes and be admired by everyone."

"Dizzy! It turns out that being a monster is not easy! The competition is so fierce! Let's do this! You prepare all the necessary things here first. I will go to Japan to find the anti-soul incense and catch a monster back. Two little foxes, Put it here first, and you can help me keep an eye on it."

"Qilin Mountain has a mountain guarding god general. I just want to say hello. You saw his strength last time."

"I feel relieved when he is here." The fighting ability of that god general is super terrifying. Foxes are smart animals and know when to behave.

Although I still need to prepare a monster before I can do it, I already have a way and I am not in a hurry. Anyway, there is no time limit for this mission, but the sooner I can get the labor and materials, the better. Before I left, Mr. Polaris gave me a Bagua Mirror. This thing is Mr. Polaris’s treasure and is specially used to contain monsters. As long as you injure the monster, you can use this mirror to put the monster in while he is weak, and you won't be afraid of him running out and taking up space. It's a pity that Mr. Polaris has repeatedly emphasized that he is only lending it to me, not giving it to me, and I have been thinking about how I can embezzle this treasure. It makes no sense to spit out the food you eat!

After returning to Essinger, I went directly to Tianyu City in Europe without making any further stops. Let Rose finish the financing and contract issues for the purchase of the mountain range. The entire Death Mountain Range is the territory of our Frost Rose Alliance. The stronghold of the Dark Temple received the troop deployment order we handed over and all evacuated the Death Mountain. I led people to build city walls at several exits of the mountain range, and the entire mountain range became a city. This will be our European base from now on.

After explaining everything, I took the rose alone to the exit of the Death Mountains leading to Switzerland. I looked at the Star Ring in my hand. The mission of this ring was one of the earlier missions I received. But the level was not high enough at the beginning, so I postponed it until now in order to be fully prepared. A place of eternal neutrality, here I come.
