"How did you conquer this sword?" the mermaid asked.
"This is my private secret. I have never told anyone else. Once I tell it, I will be killed. So you might as well change the question. I can't answer this question." Hearing this, Long Shaofeng suddenly became angry.
It hurt, so I spoke directly.
"Do you have a choice? If you don't answer, you will stay here forever. I have been here alone for a long time. If there is one more person to accompany me, then I will not feel lonely. So, you
You don’t have to answer." The mermaid said calmly.
"Are you really a mermaid?" Long Shaofeng suddenly asked.
"Answer my question first, then you are qualified to ask me." This time the mermaid seemed to have lost her patience and snorted coldly, then turned around and walked towards the golden sword. Under his gaze, the mermaid slowly
He reached out and grabbed the hilt of the golden sword. This scene shocked Long Shaofeng.
"What, are you surprised? How can I, an outsider, catch your spirit sword?" The mermaid grabbed the sword and turned around slowly, then said calmly.
"Yes, I am very strange. Without my permission, my spirit sword will definitely resist. Even if you are very strong, it will be very difficult to forcefully grab my spirit sword. So I
It's really strange, how did you do it?" Long Shaofeng nodded, and then asked.
This really made him curious. He knew his golden sword very well. As long as he did not allow others to take it, if others wanted to touch the golden sword, they would definitely encounter resistance from the golden sword.
The golden sword is not an ordinary spiritual weapon. If you resist, few people can bear it. No matter how strong you are, you will still suffer. Although this mermaid gave him an unfathomable feeling, he believed that no matter how strong he was, he would still suffer.
If it is unfathomable, it will not exceed the innate.
He has already seen the powerful man in the Ultimate Dzogchen. Although the aura on his body is terrifying, his golden sword becomes stronger when it encounters the strong, and the energy on it is unlimited. In his hands, in order to allow him to adapt, the golden sword is
The sword restrained all its own energy and exerted energy that could adapt to itself.
But if he encounters someone stronger than him, the Golden Sword will become stronger and exert greater energy. In other words, the current energy of the Golden Sword is far beyond the energy under his normal control.
original energy.
But even so, the mermaid still grabbed the hilt of the sword. And he could clearly see that the golden sword didn't seem to be struggling. This was what puzzled him the most.
At this moment, he has lost the mental connection with Tianju, so he can't contact Tianju at all. What is this situation?
Needless to say, it was the mermaid who blocked their contact. At this moment, he became solemn, completely solemn. If the mermaid wanted to crush him to death, it would only take a blink of an eye.
"Want to know the reason? Then answer my second question!" The mermaid waved the golden sword in her hand gently, and then said calmly.
"This spiritual sword was formed in my mind, and the sword spirit inside is a friend of mine. Therefore, I don't need to subdue it. This may sound absurd, but it is true. If you don't believe it, there is nothing I can do about it.
"Hearing this, Long Shaofeng frowned and thought for a long time, then raised his head slowly
explained.
"I believe what you said, because what you said is indeed the truth. So you answered the second question correctly. Do you know why I am so sure, are you right?" The mermaid put down the sword in her hand, and then spoke
asked.
"Do you want me to answer the third question?" Hearing the mermaid say this, he was a little surprised. However, he knew that the mermaid would not tell him so easily, so he asked.
"Because like you, I have a spiritual weapon formed in my mind. This kind of spiritual weapon formed with my mind has one thing in common, that is, it will not resist people with strong thoughts. Unless it itself is attacked. To put it bluntly
Yes, you can also touch my spiritual weapon." The mermaid said slowly.
"Why are you telling me so much? If you have any purpose, you can say it directly without being so roundabout." After hearing this, Long Shaofeng felt a little strange, so he spoke.
From beginning to end, he always felt that this mermaid was talking to him with a purpose. If he really wanted to kill him and seize his golden sword, there would be no need to go to such great lengths and test him.
At first he thought the mermaid wanted to seize the golden sword, but now, he was not sure. Especially after hearing the mermaid tell him so much and clear up so many of his doubts, he was really surprised. He always felt that the mermaid had something else.
Purpose.
"I can return the sword to you, or I can send you up, and I can also help you regain your strength. But there is one thing, you have to agree to me a condition." The mermaid did not answer his question, but said.
"Tell me your final purpose!" Hearing this, he said directly. Sure enough, this mermaid really had other purposes. Not only did she return the golden sword to him, but she also helped him regain his strength. Obviously, this
The conditional price will certainly not be small.
"Give this thing to someone for me!" The mermaid slowly took off a beautiful shell hanging around her neck, and then said to him.
"Where is this person?" Seeing this, Long Shaofeng asked directly.
"The fifth floor, it's called the Cave Spirit, it's the incarnation of a dragon! If you reach the fifth floor, please give this thing to him, he will understand. And he will help you break through the sixth and fifth floors
You won’t have any pressure anymore.”
"The reason why I help you regain your strength is because if you don't have enough strength, you will definitely not be able to pass the fourth level. With your current strength, even if you break through this level, you will definitely not be able to break through the fourth level."
"You have no choice in this matter. You must try your best to help me complete it. I believe in your ability and you will definitely be able to reach the fifth floor. Of course, if you deliberately fail to do so, then I can guarantee that you will definitely die on the fifth floor.
.”
"Don't doubt my words. Since you have come to my place, you will be infected with my smell. There is no way to get rid of this smell. When time comes, it will be eliminated naturally. On the fifth floor, this smell,
It will definitely get his attention."
"If you don't do what I say, he will definitely kill you. From my side, you don't have any ability to resist, let alone in front of him. So, I advise you to just follow my instructions.
Do as you say. Of course, you can leave on the fourth floor without intending to continue going up."
"But one day, we will meet again. At that time, it will not be as simple as death. This thing will only benefit you, not harm. You are a smart person, I think you should know what to do." Mermaid
He spoke slowly, his tone unquestionable.
"Fifth floor? No wonder you miss him so deeply. It turns out that the person is right in front of you, but you can never see him face to face. I understand this feeling deeply. Okay, I promise you, if I can reach the fifth floor, I will
Give this thing to him." After hearing this, Long Shaofeng thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said.
After careful analysis of this matter, it does have some benefits for him. It is to help the mermaid convey a message, and it can also help him regain his strength. Why not do it. What he is most worried about now is his strength. After being seriously injured, it will be really difficult later.
It's hard to keep going.
"I believe you!" The mermaid nodded and handed him the shell.
"You haven't told me yet, what ghost things are in the black water above?" After taking the shell, a sense of coolness came over me. I originally wanted to use my mind to detect it, but after thinking about it, I finally put away this idea.
He hesitated for a moment, then asked.
"There were indeed some bloodthirsty beasts in the past. When I first came here, the river was already like this, with fighting and bloodthirsty smells everywhere. Later, I dealt with these ghosts and settled here.
Already."
"In order to prevent other ferocious beasts from harassing me, I did not clean up the river water above. This illusion can at least make many ferocious beasts or humans retreat. In this way, I will not be affected and can live quietly down there.
"The mermaid slowly explained.
"I can see that you are actually a kind-hearted spiritual beast." Hearing this explanation, Long Shaofeng was a little surprised, so he couldn't help but say.
"What's the use? Why don't we just stay locked up in this demon-suppressing tower that will never see the light of day." The mermaid curled her lips.
"If one day you have the opportunity to go out, will you choose to go out?" Long Shaofeng then asked.
"When he is here, I will be there. If he is here, I will not go anywhere. Moreover, the outside world is no longer suitable for my existence, and I will definitely be stared at by others if I go out. So now, I have become accustomed to life here.
I'm not going anywhere." The mermaid said calmly.
"There is another question you didn't answer me. How many years have you missed?" Long Shaofeng asked immediately.
"Eight hundred years! I have been here for more than two hundred years! Moreover, you can tell from your previous sentence that I have survived for more than five hundred years. I think you didn't know it from ancient books. If
If you have never been in contact with me, will you choose to understand it?"
"I don't know what kind of spiritual beast you have seen. As long as it survives for more than five hundred years, it will definitely be targeted by others. In the end, it will definitely die miserably. Of course, if you meet a person like you
Human beings may not die." The mermaid said again.
"I once met a five-hundred-year-old ice fox, but now, I don't know what condition she is in." Hearing this, he immediately thought of the ice fox, so he spoke.
Although he had no intention of telling this secret, it didn't matter if he told it to a mermaid with the same spiritual beast.
