Li Xiu turned around and looked at the demon spirit inside the crystal. It was still lying there, trapped in the crystal, without even opening its eyelids.
"Human, don't doubt it. It's me who is communicating with you. It's normal for low-level carbon-based creatures like humans to be unable to understand this advanced form of communication. You don't have to feel inferior." The voice sounded in Li Xiu's mind again. .
Li Xiu was a little dumbfounded. How could this guy tell that he had inferiority complex? Where did this superiority complex come from?
"Human, your luck has come. This king just needs a younger brother. If you become my younger brother, you will receive supreme glory." The voice continued.
Li Xiu stared blankly at the demon spirit in the crystal, and thought to himself: "Are people so straight-forward to deceive people now? There is no technical content at all. Who have this guy come into contact with before, and he would be fooled by something like him? Did you trick him into being his little brother and give him such confidence?"
"This ball is a little too straight, and it hit my arms. You should make a turn, even a small one. Even if you can't perform miraculous powers, at least you can pretend to be noble." .What little brother is this? Is this a lie? Is this an insult to my IQ? Even if you give me a classy name, such as the spokesperson of the gods, the devil's spokesperson, etc., if I am fooled, that's fine. Go over. If I get fooled if you do this, wouldn't it make me look stupid?"
Seeing that Li Xiu remained silent, the demon seemed to have misunderstood something, and continued: "Human, you don't need to doubt, you are so lucky to have been favored by me, but don't be happy too early, this is only temporary. , whether you can truly become my king’s younger brother depends on your performance during the probation period.”
"Is this demon spirit crazy? He wants to trick me into becoming his younger brother. There is still a probation period. I have never encountered such a thing in my life." Li Xiu looked at the demon spirit in the crystal and felt that he had never encountered anything like this in his life. , are not as outrageous as what happened today.
"Who, how should I call you?" Li Xiu felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this demon spirit's brain, and he didn't seem very smart. Maybe he could have a good chat with it.
"Remember, I will only say it once. My title is the supreme king, the invincible king in the Eight Desolations and Liuhe Universe, the invincible king in the world." Although the demon spirit lay there motionless, listening to its voice, it seemed that it had already turned its face. They all looked up to the sky.
"The supreme king who is invincible in the Eight Desolations and Liuhe universe and looks down upon the world. What level of demon spirit are you?" Li Xiu thought this demon spirit was quite interesting.
"Not bad, not bad. Your little brother is not bad. You are not as stupid as those human beings in the past. They can't even remember my king's title and want to be my king's little brother. How can I give them a chance? You are very good." Able to remember my king's title." The Unparalleled King seemed very satisfied with Li Xiu's ability to remember his title and praised him repeatedly.
"But you don't need to know about my king's affairs. You only need to do your best to handle the things I entrust you with, and you will naturally receive supreme glory." The unparalleled king said.
"I wonder what you want me to do?" Li Xiu asked.
"You go and bring back ten radiant magic cores for me first." The Unparalleled King blurted out without even thinking.
"I don't know how long this guy has been trapped underground. He is thinking about good things here every day. I don't know how many years he has been thinking about ten radiant magic cores." Li Xiu said in a deep voice: "The Supreme Eight Desolations The invincible king of the Liuhe universe, your request is very reasonable, but you see that I am just a weak carbon-based creature, I am afraid I am not capable of killing the radiant demon spirit. How can I get ten radiant demon cores? "
"What you said makes sense. Creatures as weak as human beings really do not have the ability to obtain the radiant magic core that this king needs." The Unparalleled King seemed a little embarrassed. After pondering for a moment, he seemed to have thought of something and said to Li Xiu excitedly. Said: "I remembered it. When I came out of the gate of trial, I saw a ruby mine nearby. You can dig up the ruby mine and go to Black Death City to trade it to buy the radiant magic core. That ruby mine If you mine them all, you should be able to exchange them for almost ten radiant magic cores."
"Are you the king of the Black Death City?" Li Xiu's heart moved.
If this guy really came out of the Black Death City, that is to say, there should be a ruby mine near the City of Light. This is great news.
"Humph, who is the king of Black Death City? I am much stronger than him." The Unparalleled King paused and said: "Now I will give you the location of the ruby mine. You can get all the rubies in the mine as soon as possible." Dig it out and take it to Black Death City to exchange for the radiant magic core."
Li Xiu was wondering how the Unparalleled King could tell him the location of the ruby mine, when he suddenly felt a map appear in his mind.
This map is like a 3D image or a mini sand table. You can see mountains, water and forests.
The mountain in the center should be the stone mountain before the City of Light was built. Some distance away from the stone mountain, there is a red dot flashing, which should be the location where the ruby mine has been marked by the Unparalleled King.
Li Xiu roughly judged that the place where the red dot flashed should be about ten miles northwest of the City of Light.
"I remember that there should be a stone valley over there, but I haven't heard of anyone discovering rubies there? When the Lord of Hongsha City opened a mountain to build a city here, he must have investigated the surrounding situation. There is a ruby mine so close. , will it not be discovered?" Li Xiu was doubtful.
"As my temporary younger brother, if you can handle this matter well, I may consider promoting you to my official younger brother." The voice of the Unparalleled King sounded in Li Xiu's mind again.
"Don't worry, I'll go there and take a look. I hope that the gem mine hasn't been discovered by others yet." Li Xiu said this, but did not move.
"Why don't you go quickly?" The Unparalleled King asked suspiciously when he saw that Li Xiu didn't move.
"I have a question and I wonder if you can answer it for me?" Li Xiu said thoughtfully.
"Say." The Unparalleled King said simply.
"If a weak human like me goes to dig a gem mine, it will definitely take a long time to dig out all the rubies. Why don't you go with me? With your great power, this can save a lot of time. "Li Xiu said doubtfully.
2k
"Idiot, if I can get out, what else do I need from you..." The Unparalleled King seemed to realize that he had let something slip, and the voice in Li Xiu's mind suddenly stopped.
"It turns out that you can't get out, so I have to dig out by myself. Although the digging is a little slower, as long as there is enough time, I should still be able to dig out all the rubies." Li Xiu said.
Seeing that Li Xiu didn't notice the flaw in his words, the Unparalleled King immediately said arrogantly: "It doesn't matter if it takes longer, just try your best. I will never treat you badly. Once the matter is completed, you will be my king." As your official younger brother, I will bestow upon you supreme glory."
"I'll do it right away." Li Xiu turned around and prepared to leave.
Since this thing can't get out at all, then don't worry about it. Anyway, it is two thousand meters underground and cannot affect the City of Light. Moreover, it should know nothing about the City of Light.
If it knew that there was the City of Light, the map transmitted to Li Xiu's mind would not still be a stone mountain.
And looking at other scenery on the map, it is still slightly different from the current one near the City of Light. It must be that it has been trapped here for an unknown period of time and has no idea of the changes outside.
"Wait a minute." Before Li Xiu left the underground space, he was stopped by the Unrivaled King again.
"What else do you want?" Li Xiu turned to look at the Unparalleled King and asked, but he was thinking to himself: "Isn't this guy afraid that I won't come back and wants to pull some tricks?"
"You are a weak human being. If you encounter trouble outside, it doesn't matter if you die. It would be bad if you delay my king's important events." The unparalleled king said in a deep voice.
Li Xiu found that he had overestimated the IQ of the Unparalleled King. This guy was not an ordinary person, and his thinking could not be measured by human standards.
"Go and take a look under the pool. There should be a few scales there. Take them out and carry them with you. When you encounter an enemy you cannot defeat, just throw the scales at your enemy. It will have a miraculous effect." The king was depressed for a while and then hesitantly said.
Li Xiu had already guessed something from its tone.
It is estimated that those scales are from its body, and someone pulled them off. Of course it is embarrassed to say such an embarrassing thing.
Li Xiu came to the pool, looked at the coral-like plant and asked, "What is this plant?"
"Don't worry about what it is. Don't touch it. Just take the scales and go do your work quickly." The Unparalleled King said hurriedly.
Li Xiu immediately realized that this plant must be a good thing, otherwise the Unparalleled King would not be so nervous.
The water in the pool was cold and cold, but Li Xiu had magic armor to protect his body, as well as the Ice Heart talent and Ice Ash skill, so he was naturally not afraid of the cold.
He jumped directly into the pool, causing a large splash.
"Be careful, don't damage the gemstone." The Unparalleled King shouted anxiously.
Li Xiu immediately knew what the gemstone was called. He came here on purpose, but he didn't expect that the Unparalleled King would take the bait so easily.
He stayed away from the gemstone and leaned as close to the edge of the pool as possible and dived deeper into the pool.
The pool is not as deep as expected, only about twenty or thirty meters deep. Coral-like gemstones are connected to the rocks at the bottom of the pool.
The rocks at the bottom of the pool were all gray-white. Li Xiu originally thought that the scales on the Unparalleled King's body were so huge that he could see them at a glance.
However, after carefully searching the bottom of the lake, he found three palm-sized jade-white scales, which made Li Xiu very suspicious. How could a big guy like the Unparalleled King have such small scales.
"Did I think wrongly? These scales are not from the Unparalleled King. So whose scales are these?" Li Xiu searched carefully again. There were only these three scales and nothing else. It was slow. Slowly emerged from the pool.
"Are these three scales?" Li Xiu asked the Unparalleled King holding the scales.
"Yes, that's them. If you encounter danger in the future, just throw it at the enemy." The Unparalleled King said.
"Does it need to hit the enemy? Will it explode?" Li Xiu asked carefully about the function of the scales.
"No, it won't explode. Just do as I say. Stop talking nonsense and go dig rubies." The Unparalleled King urged again and again.
Li Xiu had no choice but to leave the underground space with three jade scales. After coming out, Shachu and the others were still guarding the entrance of the cave.
"What's going on below?" Chu Jun asked quickly.
"Those two workers are dead. There is no need to go down to look for them. There are very dangerous demon spirits down there. No one is allowed to go down there without my order." After speaking, Li Xiu looked at Sha Chu and continued: "The workers who were killed are , give double compensation to their families. Build me a gate on this hole, the stronger the better, then change the design, separate this small area, and build it according to the standards of the treasury, without me According to the order, no one is allowed to come near here. You must follow up on this matter personally and never let anyone go down into the cave again, lest the demon spirits inside are released by them."
Now that Sha Chu had money on hand, he didn't talk so much nonsense to Li Xiu. He responded and called someone to do something.
"What kind of demonic spirit is down there? Is it really so scary that even you can't figure it out? If there is such a demonic spirit down there, will it have an impact on our City of Light?" Chu Jun asked in surprise.
"I really can't figure it out. I've never seen such a demon spirit in my whole life." Li Xiu was telling the truth. He really had never seen such a demon spirit before.
"As for the impact on the City of Light, it shouldn't have any impact for the time being. I will find a way to solve it." Li Xiu doesn't want to kill the Unparalleled King yet.
Firstly, it was because he still didn’t know what level of demon spirit the Unparalleled King was. If it was a super spirit, it would be difficult to deal with it. He didn’t want to act rashly until Ximen Guan had created his new magic suit.
Secondly, the Unparalleled King shouldn't be doing any harm now. Maybe we can get some benefits from it, so we are not in a hurry to touch it.
Li Xiu went to Ximen Official with three jade scales, hoping to ask Ximen Official to help him see what kind of demonic scales these were.
Official Ximen studied the scales for a long time, but he couldn't figure out the reason. He only knew that they were scales on the demon spirit. As for what kind of demon spirit it was, Official Ximen couldn't figure it out.
He just told Li Xiu that after instrument testing, it was found that these three jade scales contained very strong energy, but this energy was very strange, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and very unstable.
Such unstable materials were not suitable for manufacturing magic equipment, so Ximen Official lost interest in them and returned them directly to Li Xiu.
Li Xiu then described the appearance of the demon spirit and the gemstone, but it turned out that Ximen Guan had never heard of it, so he could only leave it at that.
"If you have a chance, you should ask Lao Dao." Li Xiu put away the scales, called Chu Jun and Bandit and went out together.
This time he did not bring Qin Shi, nor did he call the Ye family brothers and sisters. That was because only the people he trusted the most could participate in what he was going to do this time. He was going to find the ruby mine mentioned by the Unparalleled King.
If there really is a ruby mine, all money problems will be solved in the future. Even if it is not a rich mine, it should be more than enough to feed a few demon spirits.
If the reserves of rubies are large enough and the quality is good enough, the excess can be used to purchase some instruments and equipment for Ximen Guan so that he can create stronger magic equipment.
"Why did you bring us here?" Chu Jun asked with some confusion as he looked at the valley with sparse vegetation.
"Digging for gems." Li Xiu looked at the valley and said, "Have you ever been in the gem business before? You should have some knowledge of gem veins, right? See if there is a ruby mine in this valley."
"I am in the business of finished gemstones. I rarely even handle rough stones. It is completely different from prospecting. How do I know if there is a ruby mine here?" Chu Jun also looked at the valley and asked: "Who did you hear that there are rubies here? mine?"
"I heard what the demon spirit said below the cave." There were no outsiders here, so Li Xiu told the story about how he met the unparalleled king below the cave. The two people who listened were stunned, but they didn't see him either. Get over this kind of demon.
Not to mention I have seen it, I have never even heard of it.
"There are such weird demon spirits?" Chu Jun said with a strange expression.
"Don't care if it's weird or not, how can we know now whether there is a ruby mine under this valley?" Li Xiu said.
"If there really is a ruby mine, there must be no leakage. This is the area between Guyue City and Hongsha City. If they find out, they will definitely come to rob it..." Chu Jun said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, it's already happened. After confirming that the gem mine is in the valley, we will find a few places to dig down. At worst, dig a few more holes. If there is a gem mine, we will definitely be able to dig out rough stones. At the worst, it will be a waste of time. "
Li Xiu had no other choice. There were no prospectors around them, and they didn't even have a trustworthy gem hunter. They were worried about finding outsiders, and few people could do something like murder and silence, so they had to dig it themselves.
Fortunately, they all have demon spirits with them, allowing the demon spirits to act as free labor force, so they don't have to do any hard work themselves.
As a result, those demon spirits became laborers digging holes. If other trialists saw that they were using the bright demon spirits as miners, they would definitely scold them for wasting their natural resources.
Fortunately, the demon spirits are much stronger than ordinary people, and their hands are stronger than shovels, so they can dig holes very quickly.
There are rocks everywhere in the valley. There are a lot of rocks mixed in the soil on the ground, which is really difficult for ordinary people to dig.
However, several demon spirits dug several deep pits separately. The stones they dug out almost piled up into a hill, but no original stones were found.
"Li Xiu, could we have been deceived by the demon spirit? If there really is a ruby mine here, we should be able to dig out some rough stones after digging for so long." Chu Jun looked through the pages. Shitui said.
"Is the Unparalleled King pretending to be stupid? Then his acting skills are so good that he could have won an Oscar in the past." Li Xiu also had some doubts, whether he had been deceived by the Unparalleled King.
"Weird, come and see what this is?" Just as the two of them were suspicious, Bandit, who was directing the demon spirits to dig holes in the distance, suddenly waved to them and shouted.
Both of them thought that the bandit had dug up the original stone and ran over quickly.
