The old man looked at him, then turned to look at Mu Qingyan. The girl also looked untroubled.
"You... almost died in their hands just now."
"Hi!" Nan Yanxi waved her hand indifferently: "I understand what you mean."
"This fire gun is indeed effective against them, but there are too few!"
"So...you want me to help you build more, right?"
Hearing what he said, the old man in the mountain nodded: "Yes, that's exactly it!"
Nan Yanxi smiled faintly and held out three fingers: "Is three thousand people enough?"
As soon as these words came out, the old man in the mountain was stunned on the spot.
Three thousand...three thousand firecrackers?
I thought to myself, if these three thousand fire blunderbuss were fired at once, even the gods would be blown to pieces, right?
"You...really have three thousand firecrackers?"
The old man couldn't believe it, so he checked with him again.
This time, Nan Yanxi shook her head.
The old man was about to be disappointed when he saw this, but he heard the boy's extremely showy butt saying: "It's more than that!"
"Junior still has hundreds of artillery pieces..."
Afraid that the old man might not understand, he explained carefully: "Artillery is an enlarged version of firecrackers!"
"Although it's a little heavier, it's a hundred times more powerful than a firecracker. With a bang, it explodes into a large area."
After speaking, he raised the shackles on his hands: "Hurry up! What are you waiting for? Are you going to treat your savior like this?"
"Uh..." The old man in the mountain scratched his head: "But how do I know if you are lying to me?"
"What if you run away? I see your eyes are darting around, you must be a ghost!"
"How do I know you're not lying to me, old man?"
Nan Yanxi suddenly sweated: "Uncle... We are both like this, why are we lying to you!"
"Besides, we can't beat you either..."
Randomly explained: "You, leave us two alone, I will send people to build the road, and we can get here in a month at most."
"When the time comes, call in the army and blast all these living dead into pieces."
"Hmph! The brat is very smart!"
The old man in the mountain was still cautious: "Let you both go and call in the army later so that you can seize my property, right?"
"Well..." Nan Yanxi was exposed and felt extremely embarrassed.
He smiled and said: "Um...it's not too much to charge some labor fees, right?"
"Humph!" The old man flicked his sleeves fiercely: "I know you have no good intentions!"
After saying that, he sighed: "Boy, I don't have much time left, this is my only wish now!"
"If you can help me complete it, it doesn't matter if I give you all the wealth of the Hulan Empire."
"But, with such a red mouth and white teeth, I really can't believe you."
Then he pointed at Mu Qingyan: "Let's do this... keep your woman here."
"When will you come with your troops? When will I let her go?"
Perhaps because he was afraid that Nan Yanxi would be worried, the old man in the mountain hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of her."
"Besides...I am already quite old. You are not worried about what I will do to her, are you?"
Hearing this, Mu Qingyan nodded quickly: "Okay, okay...I promise..."
"I don't agree!"
A firm voice interrupted Mu Qingyan's words.
At this time, Nan Yanxi's face was full of seriousness, changing from the frivolous look just now.
"Old senior, you are right, and I also believe in your character."
"Ordinarily... you saved the two of us, and I am responsible for your dying wishes."
"But!" Nan Yanxi raised her head and stared at the old man in the mountain with bright eyes.
"If you keep your woman here in order to survive, this is not what a man should do!"
"A man should be responsible. This may seem like nothing, but I will never be able to hold my head high."
"But...but I..." Mu Qingyan's pretty face turned red as she heard Nan Yanxi talk about her woman.
Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Nan Yanxi.
He suddenly glared, raised his eyebrows, and shouted: "Shut up! What are you talking about when a man is talking, why is a woman getting in the way?"
This sentence made Mu Qingyan stunned.
Before she could react, Nan Yanxi turned her head and raised her hand to the old man in the mountain.
"Now I have an idea."
When the old man heard this, he became interested instantly: "What can I do?"
"The solution is... you just go back with us."
Nan Yanxi chuckled: "After all, it would take months to build a road in the mountains, even if it is just to cut down trees."
"Wouldn't it be nice if you could come with us and give us some guidance along the way?"
Hearing this, the old man in the mountain shook his head helplessly: "That's good, that's good, but I can't leave."
"Without my restraint, these living dead will scatter. By then, it will be impossible to catch them all."
"And I don't have that much time anymore to hunt them in this mountain forest."
Hearing what he said, Nan Yanxi couldn't help but become curious: "Old senior, how many of these monsters are there on this mountain?"
The old man in the mountain pondered for a moment: "Well... a rough estimate, there should be one or two thousand."
"What? Are you having trouble?"
"Oh no, no, no... if there are only one or two thousand, just find a way to gather them together and a bombardment will solve the problem."
Nan Yanxi asked with some confusion: "But how can we bring them together?"
"I've seen the speed of those guys. It's really hard to aim."
"Moreover, you just mentioned restraint. The hinterland of this mountain range is dozens of miles in circumference. How did you achieve it?"
After hearing this, the old man in the mountain laughed and stroked his beard with some pride.
"I have a method of controlling beasts in Tianyun Pavilion. I have practiced it to the extreme and can compete with the beasts."
"For hundreds of years, all the animals in this mountain have been my spies."
"Wherever there is any trouble, I will know it soon."
As soon as these words came out, Nan Yanxi's eyes suddenly widened, with a look of disbelief on her face: "Is this... so magical?"
"Can you talk to beasts?"
"So...you'll know as soon as we enter the mountain?"
"Well... you can put it that way!"
The old man in the mountain showed off his face and said, "I've been keeping an eye on you with my wealth."
Nan Yanxi looked at Mu Qingyan and thought to herself that this little black is the black ancient tiger, right?
Just as he was thinking about it, the old man suddenly sighed and pretended to wipe his tears.
Pretending to be sad, he said: "There is also my Xiaoqiang! He was beaten to death by your woman with a bludgeoning blow."
"You have eaten a lot of my pets along the way!"
"That's all! You guys have to help too!"
Seeing the serious look on this old guy's face, Nan Yanxi couldn't help but have a dark look on her face.
I think the little fat guy he talks about is the fat pig...
