Chapter 61 Why are the treatments different? (4000)
Wu Hou looked at the eight teams, walking toward the depths of the red tide with a troubled face, and showed a cold smile.
Everyone in the team looked at Li Xiu from time to time, expressing complaints.
But most people remained silent.
After all, everyone's life and death are uncertain now, so it's useless to say more.
Things that have been decided cannot be changed.
Soon, a group of people arrived at the mouth of a river. It was already dark.
Can only stop and rest.
But several people around him began to look at Li Xiu with something wrong.
But they lowered their heads and said nothing.
Because they knew that Li Xiu's extraordinary eighth-level strength was not that easy to deal with.
"Captain Li, have you eaten? We happen to have done a little too much, how about sharing some with you?" Several people were arranged by Meng Honglang, and they are all around the sixth level of Transcendence.
Under normal circumstances, the only way to face the eighth level is to seek death.
Li Xiu just glanced at them and didn't say anything. He had hunted exotic animal meat himself and didn't need it at all.
On the contrary, two people in his team saw people bringing food and immediately came over: "We haven't eaten yet, come on, come on..."
Seeing that it was not Li Xiu who was taking the food, these people's eyes flickered, they turned their hands and handed over the other food: "Take it."
Then, he lowered his head and returned to his position.
"Not taking the bait?"
"Um!"
"Just wait a little longer. What Wu Hou means is that if you kill him, all the things that happened before you will be wiped out. Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow..."
Several people shook their heads and began to rest.
night.
Everyone took turns to watch. Li Xiu was the captain and did not need to participate in the vigil, but he was still half asleep and half awake.
It wasn't until early the next morning that everyone set off again.
Just walking and stopping like this, it took them two days to reach the location on the map.
"If the markings are correct, this is the territory of the Green Ox King. If you see the Green Ox King, please be careful!"
After that, we started walking into the valley.
Although the valley is also filled with red mist, it can still be considered as the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
There are many strange beasts wandering around, guarding the territory.
"Wangchuan Expeditionary Army, please see the Green Ox King!"
The person taking the lead shouted loudly.
But there was no response in the valley.
After a while, a strange beast came out and looked at the team coldly.
Finally, his eyes fell on Li Xiu, and he was stunned for a moment.
"Wang Chen, go and have a chat..."
In the team, there were people with supernatural powers who could talk to strange beasts. After some exchanges, the strange beasts led them in.
In the center of the valley.
The four strange beasts looked at each other.
He looked curiously at Li Xiu who walked in from outside.
"Isn't that Brother Li?"
"Yes, he is from the expeditionary force?"
"I don't think so. Brother Li's tenth-level extraordinary strength cannot be defeated by the strongest members of the expeditionary force. He needs to join the expeditionary force. It must be because of something..."
"I think so, maybe it has something to do with the heart of elements mentioned by Brother Li!"
After a brief exchange, the four strange beasts came to a huge stone table. This was carved by them after learning from humans. With their extraordinary tenth-level strength, it was easy to make these things.
And this place is more like a large palace that can accommodate four of them.
"Coming?"
The Green Ox King waited quietly for a while, and then the leader came over cautiously: "I've seen the Green Ox King."
"Well, what's the matter with you coming to us?"
"Haha, if you kill our fifth brother, do you still have the nerve to come here?"
These four strange beasts have already been able to speak human speech, and their voices are filled with murderous intent, enveloped everyone.
Except Li Xiu.
Furthermore, the oppression of the Green Ox King and the four beasts had no effect on Li Xiu.
For this kind of thing, Li Xiu just treated it as a show.
But other people's scalps were numb, their hairs stood up, and a huge sense of crisis emerged, as if they would die at the hands of the Green Ox King at any time.
"Blue Ox King, spare your life... then... we didn't kill the Rhino King..."
"Of course we know it wasn't you who killed you, otherwise you would be corpses now. Tell me, what is it for?"
"this……"
After a group of people looked at each other, they told the Green Bull King and the four beasts the purpose of their visit.
The four beasts squinted their eyes and thought for a while.
In fact, when they heard that these people were going to investigate the massacre of the city, they knew that these people were looking for the tree demon, and they were happy to have someone help them find the tree demon.
but……
Of course they would not agree immediately, but planned to extort a sum of money.
Of course, this matter needs to be discussed with Li Xiu. After all... Li Xiu is still in the team, so the Green Ox King said: "Haha, even if our fifth brother's death has nothing to do with you, it is still in your human territory.
If something goes wrong, it's not that simple to get our consent. Let's just rest here for a night and we'll discuss it when we get back!"
"Go and prepare something to eat."
Then, the Green Ox King said to a smarter ape.
Since this ape became a strange beast, his intelligence is no worse than that of humans.
Later, when he entered the extraordinary world, he experienced a qualitative improvement.
It's not much better than many so-called "think tanks" among humans, not to mention that they have specially captured many humans to train this ape...
Now, this ape is proficient in cooking, stir-frying and barbecue.
Became the ‘Royal Chef’ of the four beast kings.
After receiving the order, the ape immediately whined a few times and ran out.
After a while, everyone took their seats.
Although it is a bit crude and made entirely of cold stone, this is the territory of alien beasts, which is already good.
What's more, there are three extraordinary tenth-level beasts above, and there is also a ninth-level being staring at them... That kind of terrifying feeling would make a normal person collapse long ago.
Before you know it, the ape cooking is over.
A three-meter-tall figure walked in carrying a 'shattered' cauldron, and distributed food to everyone on the table. There were only some crude unknown meats, half-cooked...
When everyone saw this, it was hard to swallow.
But due to the dignity of the four beast kings, they could only bite the bullet and eat it one bite at a time.
Finally, everyone looked at Li Xiu, full of weird things.
Because when the monkey came to Li Xiu, he didn't put food on Li Xiu's table, but just walked over.
Everyone thought that the Beast King looked down on Li Xiu and wanted to humiliate him...
But the next scene!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
I saw the ape go out and then come back again.
This time, there was exquisite barbecue.
Cooked high-grade exotic animal meat, as well as various rare and exotic fruits.
Five or six dishes were placed in front of Li Xiu.
Li Xiu then moved forward and bowed his hands to the four beast kings to express his gratitude.
After coming in, he discovered that these four beast kings were exactly the same as the four middle-aged men he met in the red tide a few days ago. Later, judging from their tone and actions...
It is not difficult to guess that the four middle-aged men he met are these four beast kings.
No wonder, they always ask about the Rhino King.
But Li Xiu was happy and enjoyed the food.
The others stared at Li Xiu, not knowing what to say for a moment.
We all came here together, why are the treatments so different?
What Li Xiu ate was exquisite barbecue, top-quality exotic animal meat, and rare and exotic fruits...
They want to eat these things that are mixed with offal, half-cooked, and even have something dark inside.
"Beast King!"
"I'm not convinced..."
"Why is his stuff so good and ours so bad?"
Finally, someone couldn't help it and stood up.
The Green Ox King's eyes turned cold. Not far away, a strange beast understood what the king meant and pounced directly on him. In front of everyone, he tore the man into pieces who had opened his mouth.
This time, no one dared to say anything.
And these four beast kings were given the label of uncertainty.
There is an inexplicable feeling that I can do things based on my preference and kill whoever I want.
Everyone was trembling, but Li Xiu ate every bite.
It seemed that he was afraid that Li Xiu would get his hands dirty, so he specially prepared a pair of chopsticks for him.
Although it is simple and a bit large, it feels uneven, but it is still usable.
"Brother Li, is the food we have here delicious?"
"Well! Thank you to the four beast kings for your hospitality!"
"Haha, if it's delicious, just eat more. If it's not enough, let them take it."
"Okay! The food is delicious, but..." Li Xiu looked at a piece of barbecue not far away and frowned: "It's too hard."
"Um?"
When the Green Ox King heard Li Xiu say that the barbecue was too hard, his face suddenly darkened.
When everyone saw it, they were frightened.
He quickly hinted to Li Xiu not to talk nonsense.
Damn it, didn't you notice that someone stood up to give an opinion and was killed directly?
Are you crazy or something?
As expected, the Green Ox King stood up, very unhappy.
Everyone else was panicked.
This is the rhythm of a killing spree.
It's over, it's over.
They were frightened to the extreme, and one or two of them swallowed wildly.
But the Green Ox King came to the ape and asked coldly: "What's going on? My distinguished guest said that the meat you grilled is too hard."
The ape was startled, and quickly picked up a piece of barbecue and tried it. Suddenly he knew something, so he ran out quickly and prepared another pot.
This time, Li Xiucai nodded with satisfaction: "You ape, your cooking is really good."
"Haha, of course, I caught a lot of humans to train it. If it still couldn't learn, I would have taken it out and fed it to dogs."
Seeing Li Xiu and the Green Ox King talking and laughing, they even bought a large basin of new meat.
Those who had been frightened before sat there blankly, as if they had turned into stone.
What is this?
They expressed opinions and if they disagreed, they were killed.
Li Xiu said that meat is not delicious. Isn't this more outrageous?
As a result, someone replaced him with a new one?
Even if we are treated differently, it doesn’t have to be so obvious, right?
Chu Ge looked at Li Xiu stupidly, then walked over curiously and asked, "Brother Li...have you ever met these four beast kings?"
"No." Li Xiu shook his head.
But it is true that he has never seen the four beast kings in their true form. Before that, he only knew those four middle-aged men.
But who would believe Li Xiu’s lies?
A group of people shrank their heads, knowing that there must be a secret inside.
But no one dared to say more.
After eating, we assigned a place to stay.
Li Xiu was arranged to a beautiful location with flowers blooming outside. There were also small furniture inside the cave. He didn't know how the four beast kings got it.
What about them?
Being thrown into a herd of beasts and sleeping with strange beasts at night?
The stench of those alien beasts is so unpleasant that I have to take baths countless times in my lifetime.
There are many mosquitoes around, and the spiritual energy is revived. One or two of those bugs are too big. If you are bitten, your blood may be drained.
"Excessive! It's too much! Why?"
Many people were outraged.
But there is no way.
Who told them not to be Li Xiu?
"Keep your voice down, don't let the four beast kings hear it, otherwise... you will suffer a lot."
The man was just angry and regretted the moment he opened his mouth.
Now I borrowed the donkey to go downhill, snorted and stopped talking.
…
That night.
The four beast kings turned into middle-aged men and came to Li Xiu's residence.
Each also held a jar of wine in their hands.
These were all brought back from humans, and they have since become beast kings.
They also learned the tricks of humans and began to use things in the mist to make deals with humans. Among them, the largest chamber of commerce in Wangchuan was one of their partners.
Except for the Rhinoceros King, who was the last one to join, and was very silly, the other Beastmasters were all extremely shrewd.
"Mr. Li, this place is nice, isn't it? Haha." The four of them walked in, sat down casually, opened the wine, and the aroma immediately filled the room.
Li Xiu officially met them, and he was filled with emotion: "When I met the four of you for the first time, I felt that you were not simple, with an indescribable aura. I didn't expect..."
"Haha! To be honest, we don't know how the tree demon transformed into a human being... The four of us relied on changeling insects. This thing can not only cause hallucinations, but also temporarily control and compress our bodies.
But it only works for a few hours!”
"So that's it..."
Li Xiu nodded and drank a few more drinks with the four of them.
The Green Ox King said: "Brother Li, with your tenth-level extraordinary strength, how can..."
"Oh, isn't it for the Heart of Elements? To be honest, this Heart of Elements can allow people to break through the tenth level and step into the unknown... Three Hearts of Elements are almost enough."
"Hearts of three elements? Breaking through the tenth level and entering the unknown?"
Hearing these words, the four beast kings were all shocked in their hearts.
No wonder they always feel that after entering the tenth level of transcendence, they have reached the limit and can no longer break through. It turns out that they need the heart of the elements?
"Four brothers, wait until I figure out the situation in the expeditionary force. If there are more, I will get some for you." After Li Xiu finished speaking, the four beast kings looked at each other: "Thank you brother Li, we will also be there."
Pay more attention to the Red Tide Land, and I will notify you immediately if there is any news."
"good!"
With the consent of the four beast kings, Li Xiu now has channels for both the Crimson Tide and humans, which makes it much easier to obtain the Heart of Elements.
"One more thing! Brother Li, we heard that there are a lot of good things from the expeditionary force. This time, they want to enter our territory to look for tree demons, which is exactly what we want... but they also want to blackmail them.
,Brother Li, what do you think?"
"This is no problem, the more you ask for, the better!"
Li Xiu sneered when he heard that Wu Hou was causing trouble for him.
It was just a matter of time before he stole the chicken but lost the rice. If the time hadn't been ripe, he would have killed Wuhou long ago.
"Haha! Come on, then we won't see each other outside. Then we will share the things with Brother Li."
"OK!"
Naturally, Li Xiu would not refuse.
Who would have too little of such a thing as benefits?
