"Your honesty is admirable, so what is the purpose of doing this?"
Obviously, I didn't expect Fu Qian to be so bachelor and generous, and he directly and openly admitted that he was the tip-off.
After some eye contact between the hunting team, Eco finally asked.
"It's very simple."
The smile before paying was mysterious.
"I am also a foreigner."
…
Fu Qian once again said something shocking. Although he tried his best to hide it for a while, Eco's eyes still flickered, and he even subconsciously looked at Xiu Meng.
As discussed just now, this is the worst possibility.
"A demigod named Andil, whose name I have to say is very strange."
Xiumeng's expression was quite normal, and he looked up and down Fu Qian's face.
"You said before that you came here for the fire?"
"Yes, I was entrusted by someone to find a special flame here."
Showed full sincerity in communication before payment.
"But you told them about the arrival of foreigners? Isn't this behavior illogical?"
However, Stoss, who had been silent all this time, spoke up and directly pointed out the contradictions in Fu Qian's statement.
Compared with Xiumeng, this person's character is obviously more straightforward.
"Does this do you any good? Or do you want to kill someone with a borrowed knife and reduce your competitors?"
"How could that be possible? That's too bad!"
He waved his hands repeatedly after hearing this.
"I have always adopted a friendly communication attitude, including leaking your information, just to show this sincerity."
"...This guy is talking nonsense. There is no need to waste time communicating with him. Just kill him."
The surrounding air seemed to be scorching hot, and Storrs was obviously angry and directly demanded action.
"Where is the sincerity? You can obviously choose a more reasonable way of communication."
Xiumeng did not respond to Stoss' suggestion and said after a moment.
"I chose!"
He looked surprised before paying.
"Aren't we waiting for you at the carriage?"
"But you guys came up and started to fight without saying anything. If you run slower, you might have been beaten to death."
…
"Have you been following us for a long time?"
As expected of a high-level extraordinary person. After being speechless for a moment, Eco felt no regrets about the previous accusations. However, he immediately thought of another point.
"As I said, I don't mean any harm."
He was noncommittal before paying, but it hinted that he was indeed in control of everything.
"I was entrusted by someone to look for traces of fire here, but I didn't have any clues for a while."
"And your appearance gave me quite a surprise."
"Be well prepared, act decisively, even seem to have a detailed plan, the most important thing -"
Fu Qian pointed at the three of them.
"There are traces similar to flames."
"Unfortunately, when I found an opportunity to show up, I immediately discovered that I was being treated as prey here."
"You are not even interested in listening to what I have to say. After spending a lot of money to escape, you have to find another way of communication."
"In other words, you spread the news after that?"
Eco seemed to understand something, but his mood was indescribable.
No wonder it seemed normal at first, but then it became visibly tense.
"Yes, I found some of your possible potential targets and used a special communication method to give them an idea of this hunt. In fact, there was no need to go to such trouble."
"So what you're saying is that this is still our fault?"
Eco couldn't help but want to roll his eyes.
"Not really. I understand that in such an operation, it is normal to be a little nervous."
"I only made this decision after considering that reappearing would be a more dangerous treatment."
"Difficulties can often promote communication, right? If the situation hadn't changed suddenly, you wouldn't have taken the initiative to talk to me, right?"
Fu Qian's face was taken as a matter of course.
"As this second meeting, under this special situation, you began to really pay attention to the information I brought, instead of treating it as prey and killing it directly."
…
Faced with this serious nonsense, Eco was speechless for a moment and couldn't help but look at his two companions.
"Yeah, what suggestions do you have for our common predicament?"
Storrs dropped the topic and looked at Fu Qian with a smile on his face.
"It's simple - cooperate and act together as temporary allies."
It seemed like I had already thought of the answer before I paid.
"You will eliminate an uncontrollable hidden danger and gain a demigod-level ally."
"On the one hand, it makes the power of frontal confrontation a little stronger, and on the other hand, it can effectively prevent me from stirring up trouble and causing trouble for you."
How dare you say it!
Eco was stunned when he heard this.
First, you destroy other people's action plans, then turn around and say that the matter is over, and I am willing to make progress and retreat with you?
Where did this guy learn such rogue logic?
"...Why do you make us think that you are a reliable ally?"
Xiumeng seemed to be very pragmatic and did not pursue too much. He asked directly the next moment.
"This ally of mine is unreliable and is purely for profit. I want to know more about the flames."
Pay Qian continued to shake his head, frighteningly frank.
"It's just that compared to giving up action directly and enduring a little risk caused by unreliability, it is obviously a more acceptable choice, isn't it?"
"In the end, it's all your words. How do we know if you are lying to us?"
"For example, you are actually not a foreigner at all, but by saying this now, you are actually ready to lead us into a trap at any time?"
Before Eco finished speaking, he found an elegant severed claw in Fu Qian's hand.
That thing is obviously not ordinary. Just by looking at it, you can feel the power contained in it.
"This came from a lady named Akasha. We had a good chat and she even took the initiative to give me this thing."
He played with the severed claw before paying.
"This is a treatment that ordinary people will never receive."
…
Xiu Meng, who was silent, exchanged glances with Stoss, and finally nodded slowly.
"It sounds like... it's something you can really consider."
As he spoke, he even spread his hands on the table, showing the winding traces on them.
"But it's best to make it clear. On the one hand, I'm not sure this is what you are looking for. On the other hand, we will not allocate any harvest to you."
"Understood, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. What I originally cared about was only the method of obtaining fire."
Before paying, he didn't care and looked at the special marks at close range.
"So what is the nature of this thing?"
"You can understand it as the embodiment of death. By collecting the death trajectories of divine creatures, you can condense this kind of flame."
Xiumeng explained very simply.
The death spark of a divine creature?
It's weirder than I imagined, but I finally have a clue.
"Is this why your target is at least a demigod?"
Fu Qian asked the question calmly on the surface, but he was very satisfied in his heart.
