"This is the screen recording just now. Now this gray beast is standing there, not moving anywhere. It should be waiting for you, Brother Lin."
The projection changed the content. The gray beast stood between the city gate and the gray fog, staring straight at the city gate without moving.
"Brother Lin, what do you think?"
"See with your eyes."
"Yes! That's good! Why didn't I think of that! I'm so stupid, as expected of Brother Lin." Hearing this, Yu Nian suddenly became enlightened and nodded thoughtfully.
"...You don't have to insist on following him." Yu Nian's reaction made Lin Li speechless. After glancing at Yu Nian, he turned and walked towards the door of the room, "Since the other party came to the door on his own initiative, I must go and see him. "
Regardless of whether the gray beast's gourd was selling antidote or poison, Lin Li had to go take a look.
"Brother Tom has turned into ashes, so I will be your driver this time!" The dogleg immediately followed.
The city gate opens.
The gray beast looked directly at him.
Without letting Yu Nian catch up, Lin Li slowly walked towards the gray beast.
"You..." The gray beast was about to say hello. When the pain hit him, he looked down at the steel rod that passed through his neck. His throat was penetrated, and he could no longer say the rest of the words.
The gray beast looked up. Lin Li in front of him had an expressionless face. He even covered his mouth with one hand and yawned, as if he had done something no big deal.
The steel rod began to burn, and as the user exerted more force, it gradually slid down. When it shortened to its normal length again, it lost its support and fell to the ground.
Lin Li walked over and sat on the back of the gray beast's body. He held his cheek with one hand and looked at the other gray beasts in the gray fog area quietly.
As expected, another gray beast soon walked out alone.
"I really didn't..."
"Tsk—" Blood spurts out.
Scored twice.
"It doesn't matter whether you have it or not, I have malicious intentions."
Lin Li shook off the blood on the steel rod, muttered to himself, stepped forward and changed his seat, and continued to wait for the next gray beast to come.
Do you want your own head? As it happens, I want yours too.
…
Yu Nian raised his eyebrows and realized that things were not simple.
What's the situation now?
In his field of vision, the gray beasts lined up one by one and were easily killed by Brother Lin, while Brother Lin killed each one and changed his position.
The south entrance now forms a 'stone path' paved with the corpses of gray beasts - the kind that goes against ergonomics when it is paved in the dirt. One square is too short for a person to walk in one step, and two squares are too long to walk. the way.
Is Brother Lin's domineering spirit already so strong?
He is worthy of being the eldest brother that I have been eyeing for the rest of my life. The two of us are really awesome.
The combination of me and Brother Lin is simply killing indiscriminately. I am responsible for the killing, and Brother Lin is responsible for the killing.
"Quack!" Thinking of this, Yu Nian cheered for Lin Li.
Wait, when he noticed a strange gray mass out of the corner of his eye, Yu Nian frowned. Why was there a huge middle finger outside the city, and it was facing Brother Lin?
Bold, insulting Brother Lin is insulting me. For the rest of my life, I have been at odds with the mastermind behind the scenes!
Waiting a little longer, Dingqing took a look, and Yu Nian realized that it was formed from Tom's ashes. That was fine, it was normal.
In this case, after insulting Brother Lin, you are not allowed to insult me again.
…
"No more. This is the last one of this batch. If I kill it again, it will take me a while to come back." The gray beast in front of it sighed. There was no other companion behind it, so this time He kept a little distance:
"I'm here to make a deal with you, Lin Li. I really won't go against you until the deal is concluded."
After hearing this, Lin Li stopped the steel rod he was about to swing, used it as a crutch to prop himself on the ground, and showed a kind smile: "Oh, you told me earlier, I like to do transactions the most. If you had told me earlier, Me, how can I do anything?"
The gray beast did not become angry and had no intention of taking action. He just looked at Lin Li.
"Tell me, what's the deal?" Lin Li asked.
"You killed the human named Xinglie, right?" Gray Beast asked.
"No, he went to the north gate and said he wanted to raid your hometown." Lin Li waved his hand and said politely.
The corners of Gray Beast's mouth twitched, and he turned to look at the big crater left by Xing Lie when he blew himself up, asking Lin Li with his eyes - 'Do you really look like he's still alive? '
"It doesn't matter whether you die or not. What I want to know is the content of the transaction, which probably has nothing to do with it." Lin Li tilted his head and spoke casually.
"No, it does matter." Gray Beast shook his head, "In the transaction, what I need to get is Xing Lie's human crystal."
"Human crystal?" Lin Li was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it could only be the red crystal that did not disappear in the explosion.
It turns out the name is Ren Jing.
According to Gray Beast's preface, does this human crystal still have to be formed after the death of Xing Lie?
So what was the original deal between them? Did the Gray Beast deliberately trick him into coming here to die?
"What's the use of that thing?" Lin Li was curious, what kind of thing is worthy of this gray beast coming here to make a deal with him.
The gray beast was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Lin Li hesitantly: "You don't know what the use of this thing is?"
"..."
"Should I know?" Lin Li blinked.
"Haha, of course I know. I just want to test you. I'm afraid you'll forget." Lin Li said with a smile.
But the twitching corners of the gray beast's mouth clearly indicated that he didn't believe it at all.
"Hey, tell me, what's the use? I told you I'm testing you." Lin Li's smile faded, his eyes were slightly cold, and the steel rod in his hand was once again placed on its neck.
The gray beast glanced at the steel rod and took a deep breath: "Human crystal is something that will be generated in the position of your head after you humans die. It is an excellent food for the growth of our race.
These unintelligent fools will continue to hunt you humans, and they are also following this instinct. "
The gray beast pointed at his head and added.
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and still looked at Lin Li with a puzzled expression, as if he couldn't believe that Lin Li didn't even know this.
Lin Li remembered that when he was exploring the Gray Realm, he encountered and fought the first intelligent gray beast.
The gray beast broke the feet of the Lightning Awakener, and when he fell in front of him, he immediately smashed the opponent's head to pieces.
[Then he groped carefully, seemed to find something in his mind, and ate it with satisfaction. 】
Just for this human crystal? Does everyone have one?
But why did he not know this information that all awakened people should know before the gray mist invaded?
Wait, Lin Li suddenly realized that if he had one, the bargaining chip prepared by Xing Lie in the transaction between Xing Lie and Gray Beast would be the human crystal after his death.
"Your business is really good. No matter who dies, Xinglie or I, you can still find a way to make a deal and get what you want." Thinking of this, Lin Li still maintained a casual tone and just said with a smile.
"So he's dead, right?" Gray Beast asked.
"Yes, I suddenly remembered that when Xinglie walked through the north gate, he accidentally stepped on the empty space and fell to his death, leaving me with a red spar. It's really sad."
Lin Li wiped away the non-existent tears first, then changed his posture and sat on the body behind him, crossing his legs:
"What about me? What can I get from this transaction?"
"I only told the human named Xing Lie about you. As expected, he didn't tell anyone else.
After the transaction, I can keep this matter in my heart and tell no one. "
The gray beast said slowly:
"You killed that human being, which proves that your awakening level and quality are very good. However, if you are a serious problem in their eyes, once the people in the capital know about it, they will definitely try their best to strangle you.
If there is a next time, the people who come will definitely be much stronger than you think, and your city will definitely not be able to resist it. "
"The thing I hate the most in my life is threats." Facing the Gray Beast who seemed to be very confident, Lin Li just smiled contemptuously. He raised his hand and pressed the steel rod against the Gray Beast's chest: "Is it gone? If not, , you can go die.
As for the people in the capital, I'm waiting here. "
When negotiating, you must not be led by the other party.
It is true that Gray Beast's statement and deal are useful, as they can buy him some buffer time, but they are of little use - on the premise that he can run around.
Furthermore, the Gray Beast was a creature that Lin Lixin couldn't handle. Who knew whether the beast would sell him back after getting the human crystal.
According to its logic, there is still one in his head.
"Then what do you need? I can try my best to satisfy you. If it's magic plants, I can give you a large sum of money." After staring at Lin Li for a long time, the gray beast realized that Lin Li was not pretending to be calm, but really Without any fear, he changed his words.
"I'm not interested in this thing at all." Lin Li waved his hand.
These plants may have been treasures to me when they first came into this world, but now, they are almost useless.
Even if high-end plants are obtained, no one among the population of Dawn City can make slightly more advanced items from them.
Secondly, even if it is made, it cannot be brought to the dungeon, which is a bit useless.
"Then what do you want? In terms of beast stones, I can't give you much." Gray Beast asked.
"Beast stone?" Lin Li raised his eyebrows slightly. After realizing that this might be something corresponding to the human crystal, he turned his head and started to smash the gray beast's head under his butt, but except for blood and some brain stiffness, nothing solid remained. .
"You... don't even know about Beast Stone?" From Lin Li's reaction and actions, Gray Beast easily analyzed this matter. His eyes were filled with confusion now, "Are you... an awakened person?"
"No, I'm just an ordinary person with no power." Lin Li said sincerely without looking at the gray beast, focusing on his search.
Looking at Lin Li, who was covered in blood from digging into the gray beast's head, the corners of the gray beast's mouth twitched again, asking for help, so that he could suppress the desire to curse.
】
If he could communicate with Xinglie now, there would be a lot of topics to talk about.
"I may need to consider whether the transaction can be constituted..." Gray Beast hesitated for a while, then murmured to himself, then looked up at Lin Li and asked, "Then can you tell me your needs."
"First, you just mentioned not telling others about me." Lin Li put away the steel rod that was used to fiddle with his brains, looked at the gray beast, and said,
"Secondly, tell me all the details and content of the plan between your gray beast and the lord of the capital city, word for word."
"Third, take your gray beast and get out of the area around Dawn City. Just looking at it makes me annoyed.
If the above three points cannot satisfy any of them, then get out. "
Lin Li showed absolute strength.
The gray beast fell silent, seeming to ponder the acceptability of these conditions.
"Hurry up, accept or not, choose one of the two answers, what kind of beast is this? I have to go back to rest." Lin Li pressed for help by urging.
"Can."
After the pressure, the gray beast seemed to have made a decision, and it nodded.
"Okay," Lin Li turned around and snapped his fingers at the reconnaissance plane in the sky, signaling it to come down. Then he looked back at the gray beast and said, "I'll have someone bring the human crystal over, and you can start talking about the plan."
"Don't expose the human crystal to these idiots," Gray Beast said immediately. "With the quality of the Star Lie Human Crystal, these idiots will run wild the first time they see it and follow their instincts and rush towards it. When the time comes, I will None of them can be controlled."
"This transaction requires me to come and conduct it with you in person." Gray Beast added.
"You want to come in person?" Lin Li's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Um?
"Did you just want to take the opportunity to kill me?" the gray beast asked through gritted teeth.
"Ah? No? Haha, how could it be? You are my best friend - I don't know the name yet, but that doesn't matter."
Are you so obvious? Lin Li quickly put away the thoughts written on his face, and then explained seriously.
Gray Beast: "...It's hard to believe."
"Brother Lin, why did you call me here?" Yu Nian's voice came from the approaching reconnaissance plane.
"go back."
"okay!"
"So when will you come?" After sending Yu Nian away, Lin Li looked back at the gray beast again and asked.
"It will take at least half a month to a month before I have the opportunity to let my true body come here and trade with you." Gray Beast responded.
"Half a month to a month?" Lin Li touched his chin and thought, "Can it be within ten days?"
"It can't be done."
"Then when you come here in half a month to a month, I may not be there." Lin Li shrugged.
Although there was a delay card that had never been used, Lin Li didn't want to use it here.
The gray beast in front of him couldn't even give an accurate time. It was obvious that it had no confidence as to when it would come.
What to do if it's wasted.
"How about you tell me your plan now, and then I will bury the human crystal here, and you can just come over and dig it away." Lin Li thought of a 'good idea' and pointed to the soil underneath and said.
"...I'm not a fool like my brother." Faced with this suggestion, the gray beast directly ignored it, but asked: "If you are not here, then where will you go?"
"When Xinglie fell to death at the city gate, he left a suicide note, asking me to take care of his wife. I have to find her." Lin Li said sadly.
The gray beast took a deep breath, suppressed the thought of cursing, and then gritted his teeth and asked: "When will the transaction be scheduled?"
"You just need to come as soon as possible. If I'm not here, I will try my best to arrange a deal with you." After finishing his sadness, Lin Li responded indifferently, and then added: "No, it shouldn't have anything to do with you."
"Your pet?" Gray Beast immediately thought of the person Lin Li was referring to.
"Yes, you can just tell them the information when the time comes." Lin Li said, "I will also give the human crystal to them."
"Okay." After listening to Lin Li's statement, the gray beast nodded and accepted.
"Is there anything else?" Lin Li asked.
"No more, wish us a happy transaction in advance." Following human etiquette, the gray beast stretched out one of its hands.
Lin Li also responded in kind - piercing its body with a steel rod.
After killing the gray beast, Lin Li stood up and returned to the city gate.
"Brother Lin, what were we talking about this time?" Yu Nian approached immediately, handed over the towel for wiping the blood, and asked.
"Let's talk about this later. Now you have a more important task." Lin Li said.
"What? Promise to complete the mission."
"Chop that middle finger flying outside the city into pieces and feed it to the rats." Lin Li pointed at the huge middle finger made of Tom's ashes outside the city gate and said sinisterly and viciously.
Yu Nian: "..."
If it's bad, I can't afford to offend either side.
