45. The Great Change of Temperament, the Gratitude of the Lord of the Cave
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Zhou Shu looked at the Lord of Jixuan Cave Heaven and others and said coldly.
He is very clear about the style of these Cave Lords.
If these people really came to thank him, Zhou Shu would never believe it.
In fact, after thinking about it for a moment, he knew exactly why these people were here.
The expressions of the Lord of Jixuan Cave and others were slightly embarrassed, but they still said it bravely.
"Prince Zhou, we are here this time, firstly, to express our gratitude, and secondly, to ask for peace from you, Prince Zhou."
"To be honest with you, Prince Zhou, we were bewitched by villains before, and we did have thoughts against you, Prince Zhou. But fortunately, we did not take any action, so no irreparable losses were caused."
The Lord of Jixuan Cave Heaven said seriously, "After what happened before, we have figured it out. We have no enmity or enmity with you, Prince Zhou, and we really can't afford to fight to the death."
"Our real enemy should be Cao Chenyang. The reason we came here this time is to form an alliance with you, Prince Zhou, to help each other and deal with Cao Chenyang together!"
He looked righteous and awe-inspiring, as if they were really here to deal with the enemy.
A mocking smile appeared on Zhou Shu's face, and he slowly said, "You have seen Cao Chenyang's ability to devour warriors to increase his strength, so you are afraid that you will become Cao Chenyang's next target."
"Rather than coming to me to form an alliance, it is better to say that you are here to seek asylum. To put it bluntly, you want to push me to the front and fight to the death with Cao Chenyang, so that you can benefit, right?"
Zhou Shu sneered.
There was no embarrassment at all on the faces of the Lord of Jixuan Cave and others, but the look of surprise in their eyes betrayed their deepest thoughts.
Their real purpose is of course to use Zhou Shu as a shield, but that is definitely not the case.
"Prince Zhou, you have really wronged us. We have absolutely no intention of benefiting from it!"
The Lord of Jixuan Cave Heaven swore to Tian Gong, "We really came to form an alliance with you, Prince Zhou, with sincerity. If you, Prince Zhou, are in trouble, all of our major cave heavens will definitely help you!"
"As long as it's to deal with Cao Chenyang, we are willing to obey your orders, Lord Zhou, and act accordingly for you!"
The words of the Lord of Jixuan Cave Heaven are almost the same as being loyal to Zhou Shu.
Of course, they still kept a fig leaf and only talked about cooperation, not surrender.
"Are you following my orders? I need someone to act as bait now to lure Cao Chenyang out. Which of you is willing?"
Zhou Shu said.
The Lord of Jixuan Cave Heaven and others almost all took a step back subconsciously, and then they realized that their actions were a bit embarrassing.
Each of the old men blushed slightly and said, "Prince Zhou, it's not that we don't want to be the bait, but we are the Lords of the Cave Heaven after all, so Cao Chenyang may not dare to attack us."
Zhou Shu smiled half-heartedly and looked at them without speaking.
The Lord of Jixuan Cave Heaven and others are a little embarrassed, and they also know that their words are unreasonable.
Previously, in Cao Chenyang's cave, Cao Chenyang was focused on taking action in the cave.
After all, swallowing a Cave Lord is better than swallowing hundreds of ordinary warriors.
It is precisely because of this that the Lord of Jixuan Cave Heaven and others came to Zhou Shu, because they were also afraid that Cao Chenyang would sneak attack them.
Speaking of which, they, the Lords of the Cave Heaven, are now more dangerous than ordinary warriors.
After all, for Cao Chenyang, the Lord of Cave Heaven may be an even more nourishing "food"!
"There is a saying that people with different paths will not work together. You should have heard of it."
Zhou Shu said coldly, "The gate is right there. It's easy to leave without seeing him off!"
He can't solve the problem of the drastic change in the temperament of these Cave Lords now, and he is too lazy to deal with these cowardly Cave Lords. Looking at their cowardly appearance, Zhou Shu feels bad!
"Prince Zhou, please wait."
The Lord of Jixuan Cave Heaven and others gathered together and raised their voices, "We can discuss anything we have to do."
"Aren't there other Lords of the Cave Heaven serving under Prince Zhou? The few of us are quite capable. If Prince Zhou doesn't mind, we can also help you, Prince Zhou, to guard the four directions."
The Lord of Jixuan Cave Heaven and others continued.
"But I suffered some injuries before. In order to help you, Prince Zhou, to better protect the surrounding areas, we hope to recover from our injuries in Xuling Cave..."
Zhou Shu almost laughed out loud at the words of the Lord of Jixuan Cave and others.
Are they injured?
Do you need to recover from your injuries in Xuling Cave before you can help him?
Are you sure you're not kidding?
The majestic Lord of Cave Heaven can even say such shameless words!
Afraid of death, what else can't you do?
Zhou Shu is now more certain that the Lord of the Cave Heaven's temperament has been affected. A normal person may not be able to achieve this level when he becomes the Lord of the Cave Heaven.
The fear of dying like this is rare even among ordinary warriors, let alone the Lord of Cave Heaven.
It is not normal to say that all the Lords of the Cave Heaven are naturally afraid of death.
"It's not impossible for you to recuperate in my Xuling Cave."
Zhou Shu sneered and said slowly.
The Lord of Jixuan Cave Heaven and others had a happy face. They didn't care about the tone of Zhou Shu's words. As long as they could survive, what did it matter if they lost some face temporarily?
The person who laughs last is the person who laughs best.
"But I have one more condition."
Zhou Shu continued.
"Prince Zhou, you said that as long as we can do it, we will try our best to do it, but we are really hurt and there are some things that we are really unable to do."
While they were talking, at least two or three Cave Lords started bleeding from the corners of their mouths, and the rest of them were covering their chests and coughing, as if they were seriously injured.
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes without any scruples. He really didn’t even want to lose face.
When he started fighting with Cao Chenyang, Zhou Shu was present in person.
How can I not know whether you guys are injured or not?
What a shame.
Such a thing is actually the Lord of the Cave Heaven of the human race, the most powerful group of people in the human race!
"Listen up, if you want to stay in my Xuling Cave, you need to pay the accommodation fee."
Zhou Shu said angrily.
"Accommodation fee?"
A Lord of the Cave Heaven muttered, "I understand, it's just like staying in an inn, right? No problem. Prince Zhou, just ask for a price, and we will never bargain!"
The Lord of the Cave Heaven is extremely confident. Just kidding, they are the Lords of the Cave Heaven.
Any Lord of the Cave Heaven is a being who owns a Cave Heaven.
There are countless people in a cave, and they are all their people. Will they be short of money?
If nothing else, the "sincerity" they just brought is priceless.
It's just a small accommodation fee, and these cave masters don't take it seriously at all.
After turning the matter into business, Zhou Shu suddenly felt much better.
It’s hard to say whether these guys can change their ways, but let them shed some blood first!
It is unrealistic to expect them to fight bloody battles for this world. At least let them contribute something, and take out the treasures they have plundered, which can be regarded as their contribution!
"My Xuling Cave has a beautiful environment, and if you live here, you can enjoy my protection. No one dares to invade, so the price is a bit expensive."
Zhou Shu continued, "If you think it's expensive, you don't have to stay here."
"It should be more expensive, and we will never find it too expensive."
The Lords of the Cave Heaven spoke one after another.
Expensive? What does that mean?
Do we, the Lord of Cave Heaven, find it expensive?
Do you know that you look down on us?
"Very good, this is our first time doing a deal, so I will give you a discount. For each day you stay, the cost is the casting material of an innate magic weapon. There is no limit on the type, as long as the value is comparable." p>
Zhou Shu said calmly.
He is also a lion with a big mouth. He needs a piece of casting material for the innate magic weapon to live for a day. This is no longer a sky-high price.
You know, even if the major caves are included, the human race only has a few hundred innate weapons, maybe not even a thousand.
Any piece of innate magic weapon is of great value. If you take it out and replace it with a city in the Ten Kingdoms, there is no problem!
Since these Lords of the Cave Heaven were so sworn in, Zhou Shu would naturally give them a chance to show off their wealth.
After listening to Zhou Shu's words, the Lords of the Cave Heaven looked at each other and then remained silent for a moment.
I have to say that this price is a bit high even for them.
"Business is a matter of mutual consent. If you think it's too expensive, that's okay. You don't have to live with it. I won't buy or sell by force..."
Zhou Shu continued to speak.
"No, Prince Zhou, you misunderstood."
The Lord of Jixuan Cave Heaven shook his head and said, "We are not dissatisfied with the price. We are just wondering whether we should pay once a day or just pay monthly."
Zhou Shu: "..."
You bastards, how rich are you?
Still want a monthly subscription?
By the way, I killed Tang Lan and Shang Qiuzi, but I didn't get much from them.
Is it possible that those two guys are losers and paupers among the Cave Lords?
One innate weapon-making material is used every day. Do you still want to pay for it on a monthly basis?
If this were placed in Zhou Shu's distant past life, it would be equivalent to a million dollars a night in a hotel, with a monthly subscription. Isn't this simply a case of being wealthy?
"Monthly subscription!"
Zhou Shu said with an indifferent expression.
Damn it, Zhou Shu has been struggling for so long, and even now, even if he counts all the things on his hands, he may not be able to get so many weapons-making materials. These few things are actually so damn rich! <
/p>
If they don’t dig out their old records this time, Zhou Shu will not have his surname Zhou anymore!
"Bet one, pay three, no negotiation!"
Zhou Shu gritted his teeth and said.
"Bet one, pay three?"
The Lords of the Cave Heaven are a little confused. They have never had the experience of renting a house like Zhou Shu did in his previous life.
"Pay one-time payment for three months, plus one month's deposit."
Zhou Shu said coldly, "You live in my Xuling Cave. I have to prevent you from damaging the environment in my Xuling Cave, so I have to charge an extra month's deposit. If you damage the environment here, the deposit will be forfeited."
If not, the deposit will be returned in full when you leave."
The Lords of the Cave Heaven looked at each other, afraid that they would destroy the environment of the Xuling Cave Heaven?
Are they full and full?
Besides, would they be scrupulous about a one-month deposit?
Who can appreciate something like that?
But they are here to seek asylum, so of course they won't have any objections to this.
There is a saying that if a problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem.
For these cave masters, that's it.
Cao Chenyang poses a huge threat to them. In order not to face Cao Chenyang, they will do anything, let alone just give something.
If the things are gone, you can search again. If the lives are gone, then there is really nothing.
"Bet one and pay three, no problem."
The Lord of Jixuan Cave Heaven opened his mouth and said, "How about, Prince Zhou, do you think this would work? We'll pay a deposit for one year, and the accommodation fee will be paid for three years at a time..."
Zhou Shu's eyes were opened. He had never seen a tenant take the initiative to pay more rent!
Four years of payment at once?
One innate magic weapon per day, and one year is 365 days, that is 365 innate magic weapons, and four years is 1,460 innate magic weapons.
There are six of them, the Lord of Jixuan Cave Heaven, which means 8,760 innate weapons...
Zhou Shu felt a dizzy feeling of happiness.
There are 8,760 casting materials for the innate magic weapons. Not to mention the current Xulingdongtian Huaxia Pavilion, even if we count Wei and Daxia, we will not be able to produce so many castings with all the national strength of the two countries.
Soldier materials!
Zhou Shu made a small fortune aeons ago, but compared to these 8,760 innate weapons, they are simply nothing!
Zhou Shu now knows that these Lords of the Cave are not good at fighting, but they are very good at making money. Over the past thousands of years, I really don’t know what these bastards have done!
The Lord of Jixuan Cave Heaven and others looked at Zhou Shu's face changes and felt a little uneasy. They were also worried that Zhou Shu would refuse.
One month, for the Lord of Cave Heaven, passes in just a nap. The time is really too short.
Who knows if Cao Chenyang has been staring at them?
Of course, the longer you stay in Xuling Cave, the better. It is best to wait until Zhou Shu and Cao Chenyang decide the winner before they go out.
"If you don't mind, Lord Zhou, we can pay for ten years at a time, that's fine. Anyway, we are seriously injured and we may not be able to recover in ten years. It would be too troublesome to pay all at once..."
The Lord of Jixuan Cave Heaven continued, if it were not difficult for them to pay a hundred years at a time, they would even dare to pay a hundred years at a time!
Zhou Shu looked at these things. He didn't know why, but now he suddenly felt that these things were a little cute?
Is this the charm of money?
Damn it, if you pay ten years at a time, how much is the innate magic weapon worth?
Eighty-seven thousand six hundred pieces of innate magic weapons?
There are nearly 100,000 innate magic weapons. If Zhou Shu can really forge so many innate magic weapons and send 100,000 soldiers to the expedition, how much reward will the map of the magic weapons give him?
At that time, was Cao Chenyang still a problem?
With one hundred thousand banners, Zhou Shu dares to kill Yama!
