Li Yi shook his head, a little confused.
"What's the meaning?"
Ni Daddy turned his head, his face full of solemnity. Li Yi had never seen such a serious expression on his face, not even when the giant hand was still there just now!
"The one just now is the owner of the hand."
"He just forced the crack open and paused briefly."
Li Yi hesitated when he heard this.
"You... mean that the face just now is the owner of the hand?"
Ni Daddy nodded firmly.
"Yes."
"..."
Li Yi stayed for a while, seemingly thinking, and finally asked in an uncertain tone.
"Look at you, do you know me?"
This time, Ni Daddy still shook his head firmly.
"I don't know, but..."
"But what?"
Ni Daddy hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
"Have you forgotten? I said at the beginning that in addition to the second level of king level, there is an unknown highest level, that is, those five..."
Li Yi was suddenly shocked when he heard this.
"You mean the one just now was..."
His answer was still uncertain.
"I don't know. After all, no one has really seen the true faces of those five."
"Is it possible that they are also king-level? I remember you said that if you are both king-level, the gap between them will be huge."
Ni Daddy nodded involuntarily.
"I did say that. This is also well-known on the other side of the barrier. The gap between kings is as big as the barrier. Some may just have the simplest names. For example, people like me can barely be considered It’s a king level, but compared to a real king level, it’s not an exaggeration to say that there is a gap between heaven and earth.”
When Li Yi heard this, he thought about it and continued to ask.
"When you broke through the passage and came, was it as difficult as the hand you just did?"
Ni's father glanced at Li Yi, as if he was mocking him, but his tone was very serious and did not sound like he was mocking.
"How is it possible? I broke through very smoothly at the beginning, without any lag. The most important thing is that it seems to be because I am too weak. When I first arrived, I didn't feel that my strength was damaged."
Having said this, Ni Daddy smiled bitterly.
"The passage is actually very fair. It seems that as long as it is weak enough, it will not give you any obstacles or pressure. You can even feel that it prefers people like me to come over. But those powerful kings, as far as I know You know, no one has been able to break through successfully yet. As for that hand..."
Li Yi asked.
"How about it?"
Ni Daddy thought for a while and finally shook his head.
"I'm not sure, but I think it's better not to regard him as one of the unknown five."
Li Yi looked puzzled.
"What's the meaning?"
Ni Daddy thought for a while, and for some reason, he changed his expression to a calm one.
"Let's put it this way, those five, as I said before, although everyone knows their existence, no one has seen any of them..."
"Not to mention knowing his name and seeing his true appearance."
When Ni Daddy said this, Li Yi interrupted him directly.
"But the way you looked just now, you clearly seemed to know something. Don't tell me that you were staring at that face just now, and that face only said one sentence."
Having said this, Li Yi stared straight at Ni Daddy and spoke word by word.
"You don't want to tell me that you don't recognize what that face says, do you?"
Unexpectedly, Ni Daddy actually nodded.
"Yes, that's really all I understood."
Li Yi:......
After a while, Li Yi seemed to be bored, or felt that he couldn't get anything out of Ni Daddy, so Li Yi waved his hand.
"Let's go back first."
...
At this time, Tieshi City was as happy as the New Year. After hearing that Li Yi alone blocked the army of extraterrestrial demons, the whole city was excited.
Everyone was singing and dancing, taking out the food and wine they had collected at home, and enjoying the hard-won peace.
You must know that although Iron Stone City is not as close to the rift as Gray Mist City, it is not far away.
Gray Mist City has withstood the disaster, and Iron Stone City has endured the same calamity.
It can be said that a large-scale invasion by extraterrestrial demons is almost equivalent to the destruction of Iron Stone City.
Even when the Liu family and his son were still there, they were not sure that they could protect Tieshi City without most people being harmed.
The demons outside the territory won't talk to you.
In the minds of the people of Tieshi City, the extraterrestrial demons represent cruel, bloodthirsty and murderous nightmares. They will not challenge you one after another like normal humans.
Therefore, when Li Yi returned to Tieshi City, everyone did not believe that such a thing existed at first.
However, after Ni Daddy dragged one corpse after another and put it in front of everyone, all these doubts turned into joy and enthusiasm.
The eyes looking at Li Yi also turned fiery.
Everyone knows what these bloody demon corpses mean.
This is all money!
Lots of money!
Seeing everyone's enthusiastic expressions, Li Yi first glanced at Ni Daddy in astonishment, but the other party only said one thing.
"I heard these things could be exchanged for other things, so I dragged them back."
Li Yi actually wanted to say, I don't know, I even know the reason, because these things can make a lot of weapons, and can also refine genetic medicines to increase the level of genetic warriors.
But that is all based on the condition that the body is intact!
These corpses look the same on the outside, but they have all been drained clean by themselves. It can be said that apart from the fact that the manifested corpse can provide some ideas for the empire's special powers department, it has no other use.
In other words, this thing is worthless!
Of course he couldn't say this.
When everyone knows that they are saved, their joy is certain.
However, when they know that in addition to surviving the disaster, they also have a chance to obtain a large amount of wealth, then who the savior is becomes less important.
They are more concerned about who brings the wealth.
And if the two happen to be the same person, the superposition of these two emotions will produce some very subtle feelings.
No one would pay too much to be grateful for saving his life, but when that person also brought huge wealth, the two would be added up.
The emotion of gratitude combined with the surprise of wealth will strangely drop to another level.
If the reason is to be investigated, it is probably that human beings will subconsciously count their gratitude as a valuable substance. When life is worry-free and personal interests are involved, they will treat this kind of gratitude that should not exist. Things should be canceled accordingly.
Well, to put it simply, I am very grateful that you saved me, but if you use this to coerce and ask for a high price, then I will not agree!
Yes, many times, after humans are exposed to danger warnings, their own needs are far greater than the "insignificant" life-saving grace.
This is particularly evident in a crisis-ridden environment.
Li Yi just took one look and understood the meaning in the eyes of the Iron Stone City residents in front of him.
He couldn't say.
If he had said so, perhaps these people could not do anything to him. After all, his ability to fight alone against the demon army outside the territory was obvious to all.
But that also meant that he could no longer stay in Iron Stone City.
For a moment, Li Yi felt that everything he had done before was completely pushing himself into a desperate situation.
Fortunately, these are just ordinary people. They don't know that these trophies have lost their original value, and the joy in their hearts is real.
But he was almost certain that if he told the truth, he would be instantly overwhelmed by the people in front of him with genuine smiles on their faces.
Well, use saliva.
Thinking of this, Li Yi no longer had the idea to continue talking.
Waved his hand.
"I'm tired, help me find a place to rest. As for these... you can handle it as you see fit."
It seemed that he was waiting for his words. As soon as Li Yi said it, several people bowed respectfully in front to lead the way. After a while, they took the two to the city lord's mansion in Iron Stone City.
"Although the city lord is no longer here, the facilities inside are still complete. You two can use them as you like. If you need anything, just call me."
Li Yi glanced at the man, nodded, and walked in without saying anything, followed closely by Ni Daddy.
Entering this extraordinary city lord's mansion, Nidie slowly closed the door tightly, and the room immediately became brighter automatically. They could see a wide hall, facing the ventilation glass on all sides. They could even see through the glass. to the carnival crowd.
Li Yi stepped forward, leaned against the glass wall, and looked into the distance, looking thoughtful.
At this time, Ni Daddy's words came from behind, with a hint of doubt in his tone.
"Dad, I don't quite understand."
Li Yi did not look back.
"What did you think of?"
"Obviously you saved them, but why do I feel that they are not very friendly to you? Are all humans like this?"
Hearing these words, Li Yi couldn't help turning his head to look at the other person, and he smiled when he found that the other person had a sincere look on his face.
"Haha, it seems that you are learning to integrate into this world, which is good."
"so?"
"hehe."
Li Yi didn't speak, just smiled and pointed at the carnival crowd outside the glass.
"What do you think is the difference between them and you and me?"
"Difference? Are you more powerful than them?"
Li Yi nodded and smiled.
"This is just one of them. It only shows that when encountering some dangerous events, I am more capable than them in handling them, but people always have their limits. If I can't handle many dangers, they will naturally not be able to handle them either. Therefore, If we just look at it purely from a strength perspective, there is no difference between me and any of them, there are levels of strength that are beyond our reach.”
After a pause, Li Yi continued.
"But there is one thing that is the biggest difference between them and me."
