Yi Xiao looked at the Ice Emperor quietly, for fear of missing any next word, because this might be the key to his leaving here!
"I was too exhausted and needed to find a place to rest, so I discovered this valley by accident. When I recovered my strength and planned to leave here, I was given a task - to protect the treasures here."
"Mission?" Yi Xiao's face was full of confusion. Yi Xiao also knew that there would be missions in the apocalypse, but he didn't know that mutant beasts also had missions!
The Ice Emperor nodded and shook his head. "I don't know if this is the right description. Anyway, a voice told me that I can't leave this valley, and if the treasure is obtained by someone, I will die! Only after a year has passed can I regain my freedom."
I see!
After listening to Ice Emperor's explanation, Yi Xiao suddenly realized.
No wonder the Ice Emperor attaches so much importance to this treasure, no wonder it traps itself here for a year, no wonder the Ice Emperor stays alone in this valley!
Suddenly, Yi Xiao felt a chill in his heart. Even a being as powerful as the Ice Emperor would be forced to be trapped in this valley!
It's as if there is an invisible big hand that has been controlling everything. Whether it is humans, zombies, mutant beasts or guardian monsters, they are just pawns in its hands, at its mercy.
"Do you still remember how you got this mission, or who gave you this mission?"
"Of course I won't forget it. That sound is the same as the one I heard when I first became a guardian monster!"
Yi Xiao looked deeply at the Ice Emperor and gradually fell into deep thought.
For a moment, everyone and the wolf fell silent.
Yi Xiao had already figured out the big hand hidden in the darkness that controlled everything from the first time he noticed it.
Although Yi Xiao doesn't like the feeling of being manipulated by others, he doesn't have enough strength to change everything now. Instead of worrying every day, it is better to use the resources in the apocalypse to improve yourself, maybe one day you can change everything.
What he was struggling with now was that he already knew the relationship between the Ice Emperor and the treasure, but it didn't seem to be of any help to the current situation.
If what the Ice Emperor said was true, then as long as he stole the treasure, the Ice Emperor would be obliterated, and then he could leave the valley.
However, the Ice Emperor has always been guarding the entrance of the cave. He can't even escape from the valley, so how can he steal the treasure under the Ice Emperor's nose?
Yi Xiao sighed slightly, not expecting that all his hard work would be in vain in the end.
"Human, I've finished speaking, it's your turn." Ice Emperor said.
"Actually... I don't know what this treasure is." Yi Xiao's tone sounded weak. His last hope was shattered. Yi Xiao didn't know what else he could do.
"What?" Ice Emperor's eyes widened.
Did he clearly promise that as long as he told the truth, he would tell him what this treasure was?
Now this human being says he doesn't know. Isn't this obviously teasing him?
"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet." Yi Xiao glanced at the Ice Emperor lightly and continued: "Although I don't know what this treasure is, it is related to one of my abilities."
"What's the meaning?"
"There is an ability in my right eye. I originally wanted to use this ability to find your flaw, but unexpectedly it resonated with the thing in the cave. Therefore, this object must be closely related to my ability."
Ice Emperor said half-heartedly: "Are you telling the truth?"
"Do you think I need to lie to you?"
Ice Emperor thought for a moment and continued: "Okay, let me see the ability you mentioned."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Xiao's right eye began to change. At first, a little red light appeared in the eye, and then the red light became brighter and brighter, and a ray of colorful light appeared in the center.
"Is this your reply?" Yi Xiao said as he put away his [Death Right Eye].
Ice Emperor nodded. He had seen Yi Xiao use this ability before, but he didn't take it to heart at first.
Now after careful observation, I discovered that when Yi Xiao activated this skill, the energy fluctuations on his body were indeed somewhat similar to that treasure!
However, why is the treasure that he protects, the treasure that is related to his life, related to this human being?
In the beginning, my light ball was stolen by this human being, so that was what happened to it later. Later, I was trapped here. The most fundamental reason was also related to this human being!
Why was he the one who broke into this valley? Why aren't other humans related to this treasure?
Is all this a coincidence?
Yi Xiao no longer cared about the Ice Emperor, because he thought of another possibility. Although he could not steal the treasure, if the connection between the Ice Emperor and the treasure could be eliminated, would there still be a glimmer of hope?
When the time comes, I will help the Ice Emperor regain his freedom, and in exchange for letting him leave the valley, the treasure will also become his own. It is simply killing two birds with one stone!
Thinking of this, Yi Xiao stood up suddenly and quickly opened the team communication.
Although this idea is feasible, he has no way to decipher the connection between the Ice Emperor and the treasure. For things like this, the best way is to ask professionals!
Soon, Mo Hua's voice came from the other side of the communication. "Yixiao, how are you?"
"I just exchanged information with the Ice Emperor. It was trapped here because of that treasure. Back then..." Yi Xiao told the story in full. "So, now as long as I can unravel the connection between the Ice Emperor and the treasure, I can leave here!"
"You mean, you want me to help you find a way to untie the connection?"
"Yes, this is the only chance, otherwise I might really be trapped here for a year! If it were you, maybe you could think of something?"
Yi Xiao quietly waited for Mo Hua's reply. This was his last life-saving straw. Even if there was little hope, he had to give it a try!
The other side of the communication was silent for a long time. Just when Yi Xiao was getting impatient with waiting, Mo Hua's voice came to mind again. "I thought of a possibility."
"What is it?"
"Do you remember what it was like when Yu Lian became a player?" Mo Hua asked.
After hearing Mo Hua's words, the original scene appeared in Yi Xiao's mind.
He robbed the player qualification himself, and then used [Plunder Transfer] to give the player qualification to Yulian, and finally helped her become a player. At that time, the Moon God showed up to stop him, but he suffered a loss in front of Xu Ying. Because of this incident, Yi Xiao and the Moon God were completely at odds.
It's just that Yi Xiao couldn't figure it out. Does Mo Hua's sudden mention of this matter have anything to do with the current situation?
Before Yi Xiao could ask, Mo Hua explained: "The Moon Goddess said something that really concerned me. She said that her contract was being rewritten!"
"You gave your player status to Yu Lian, which conflicted with the Moon God's contract, and ultimately helped Yu Lian get rid of the Moon God's control. Perhaps what the Ice Emperor accepts now is not a mission, but a similar contract!"
