"Don't you have any good intentions for me? Well, Athos, accept defeat. From now on, your life is mine." Qin Xiang squatted on the big pit and looked like
Athos, who was lying in the pit like a rogue and didn't want to get up, said with a smile.
"A bachelor's eye is not filled with sand." Athos' mouth was bleeding and his face was a little pale, but he still had a stubborn look on his face. He rested his head on his hands and ignored the mud on his body and face.
, looked at Qin Xiang and said seriously: "Tell me, I, Athos, originally lived a happy life, and the world was vast, allowing me to roam around, but if I followed you, I would lose my freedom, and the rest of my life would be ruined.
I can only hang around you for half my life, what good will it do to me?"
"Haha, you want to regret it?" Qin Xiang smiled, not caring about his thoughts.
"Before I bet, I never thought I would lose, but after losing, I was not willing to accept it."
"Then what do you want?" Qin Xiang smiled.
"Rather than live in embarrassment, I would rather die vigorously!" Athos said seriously: "Unless you can give me a reason, a reason why I am willing to follow you."
Qin Xiang was quite appreciative. She looked at him deeply and whispered a few words.
Athos jumped up and said excitedly: "You didn't lie to me?"
Qin Xiang smiled and nodded: "I dare to swear in the name of the law. If what I told you just now was a lie, I am willing to accept the punishment of the law."
"Okay, I also swear in the name of the law that from today on, my life, Athos, belongs to... By the way, how should I call you, master?"
"Qin Xiang."
"My life, Athos, belongs to my master Qin Xiang from today on. If I disobey it, Athos is willing to accept the punishment of the law."
…
On the top of a hill, the two of them stared at the night sky. The cotton-like snowflakes finally stopped, the cold wind still howled, and the vast land was still completely white.
"Have you ever been to the legendary Leiyan Mountain?" Qin Xiang couldn't help but be shocked when Athos said that this steel mecha was obtained from the legendary Leiyan Mountain.
There are three super sects in the God's Domain, three mountains, five sects, and seven domains. Most of the sects are on the Qingmu Continent, but there are also a few sects in the far south, and some are in the Great Spirit Beast Forest that spans hundreds of thousands of miles.
Some have to cross the Great Soul Beast Forest, and then cross the Mad God Sea, on the Xuanbing Continent a million miles north of the Qingmu Continent.
However, very few people know where Leiyan Mountain, one of the three legendary mountains, is. At least among the people Qin Xiang knows, no one told him where this mountain is hidden.
"It seems to be a coincidence. More than two hundred years ago, a friend and I went deep into the Simeng Forest. Later, we lost our way. We walked in the forest for three years. I don't know what happened, but we came to a purple mountain.
This steel mecha was obtained from the Purple Mountain, and when it was discovered later, when we ran away, we found out that the Purple Mountain was the legendary Leiyan Mountain." Athos said with lingering fear in his heart.
"Leiyan Mountain is one of the most mysterious three mountains. Its strength should not be lower than that of the Five Sects and Seven Domains. How can you steal other people's things and still escape?" Qin Xiang was a little skeptical of his words.
Athos chuckled and said: "It seems we are lucky. When we sneaked into Zishan, we happened to encounter them worshiping the God of Thunder. Everyone in Leiyan Mountain gathered in the square on the top of the mountain to worship devoutly, so we secretly
He slipped into their treasure house. He was discovered shortly after entering, and was thrown out of the treasure house by a mysterious force."
Qin Xiang was secretly shocked and asked about the situation again. Athos told the truth.
Athos and his partner are both famous thieves in the God's Domain. Athos is good at strategy and planning, while his partner is good at evasion. With the help of his partner, the two of them avoided the treasure house's identification mechanism and went directly
Entering it, they did not know that the treasure house was originally a gift treasure house for the disciples of Leiyan Mountain. Only the top three disciples in the mountain competition every year could enter the gift treasure house and select no more than three treasures.
At that time, both of them didn't know the rules. When they saw the dazzling array of strange treasures inside, they naturally started searching without hesitation. The two of them were very fast, almost evenly matched, and nothing happened when they got the three treasures.
happened, but when they got the fourth piece, something happened immediately. A ray of light shot out from the bottom of the treasure house, and then they were thrown directly into a river at the foot of Leiyan Mountain.
The sudden change in the treasure house also immediately alerted the people of Lei Yanshan. Before they even climbed out of the river, someone was already chasing them. Fortunately, they had a partner who was good at hiding and escaping, and the two of them finally escaped with difficulty.
"Athos, how many steel mechas like this do you see in the treasure inventory?" Qin Xiang asked.
Athos frowned, thought for a long time and said: "It seems that there is only this one, but there are quite a few golden eggs."
"One?" Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If there is only one, then it means that Lei Yanshan probably obtained it accidentally. This steel mecha may not have come from Lei Yanshan."
Qin Xiang said, flipping his hand, an irregular oval golden egg about the size of a papaya appeared in his hand, and asked: "Athos, what kind of treasure is this?"
Although the golden egg is large, it seems to be as light as nothing. According to Qin Xiang's estimation, it is probably less than 50 grams, but he can feel the extremely pure energy fluctuations in it, as if the golden egg is not solid, but an extremely
A viscous energy body.
The faint golden light looked extremely dazzling in the snowy night. Looking from a distance, it looked like a pale golden star. On the surface of the golden egg, there were strange energy ripples that appeared and disappeared, which was really strange.
"I know the name of this baby, but I just don't know what its use is." Athos took the golden egg from Qin Xiang's hand and flicked it with his fingers. There was a buzzing sound. His flick was extremely powerful.
Big, but apparently, this golden egg is extremely tough, and this flick of the finger did not leave any marks on it.
Athos continued: "This guy is called Luo Yi. He is as light as nothing and extremely tough. He is indestructible in water and indestructible in fire. I have been studying it for more than two hundred years and still can't figure out its use."
Qin Xiang asked curiously: "Since you don't know the use of Luoyi, why did you choose this thing at that time?"
Athos said sheepishly: "Because it looks good, because it is golden, and because it is nearby. Anyway, it was very casual at the time."
"..."
…
A golden egg fell as lightly as nothing into Qin Xiang's hand. It has not left his hand for a long time, as if he was stroking the delicate skin of his beloved woman.
"Master, are you sick?" Athos tightened his arms and asked suddenly.
Although this guy called Qin Xiang "Master", his words were very casual and he didn't seem to be afraid of Qin Xiang at all.
"You're the one who's sick!" Qin Xiang was stunned, glared at him angrily and cursed.
Athos chuckled and said: "It's not sick. How could you touch this golden egg like a girl's skin?" Then he pointed to the goose bumps on his arms and said, "Master, look at Athos's goose skin."
It all came out on its own."
Only then did Qin Xiang know what he meant, and without pursuing it, he suddenly looked at Athos and said: "Athos, you have promised to follow me from now on. Logically speaking, I should return these things of yours to you, but these three fallen
I want one from you."
"Okay, no problem. You are my boss. What's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine. You must be so clear about it."
"Wrong, what's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine. Don't add your bandit logic to my relationship with you." Qin Xiang corrected him immediately. He had no choice but to find that Athos seemed to
He was too slick, and if he was allowed to talk nonsense, he would not be able to control him at all. Therefore, after finishing speaking, he simply threw Athos's ring directly into his own ring space.
"Master, you...you don't have to do it so brilliantly, right?" Athos said with a bitter face.
"Here you go." Qin Xiang turned her hand over and found a storage ring in her palm.
Athos's face became happy, and then he suddenly fell down. Because the ring was not his original one, he reluctantly took it. His face was so bitter that he could squeeze out the bitter juice as he looked at the ground.
Qin Xiang said: "No, Master, are you sending beggars away?"
It turned out that after a quick mental scan, he discovered that the ring only contained a small bag of soul crystals in addition to the clothes that were originally in the ring!
