Chapter 435: The Cash Cow That Was Finally Cheated
After learning the content of the third test among the Nine Tests of the Dragon God, Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi began to plan their next move.
Originally, Gu Qiuxi suggested that they should hand Yalin'er over to Ji Dong and others first. After all, she had nothing to do with the Dragon God assessment they were going to conduct. However, Xu Xingyu expressed his objection. His reason was simple: Yalin'er had a high concentration of dragon blood.
Therefore, although she is a human, she is also a member of the dragon clan, which can be considered a kind of orc, so she may have living family members in the dragon clan (that is, the ancestor of dragons and earth dragons in the Five Elements Plane).
After all, even if she was really frozen for thousands of years, this amount of time is not that long for a dragon.
What's more, they can also confirm that Yalin'er is Ajin's past who sent them here, so it would be a bit too much to just throw her to the people here.
Although Gu Qiuxi understood the rationale behind Xu Xingyu's explanation, she was still somewhat dissatisfied, because there was one more person on their original trip, who might be a love rival.
Recalling that when Xu Xingyu left Dragon Valley to meet Wang Donger, Gu Yuena and others, she was still practicing in the Dragon Pool in Dragon Valley. At that time, she received guidance from Ajin.
Normally, such guidance would be enough to make Gu Qiuxi less repulsive to Ajin, but for some reason, every time Ajin spoke, he would have some unknown feelings when he mentioned Xu Xingyu.
So Gu Qiuxi would still be unconsciously wary of her, but she also knew that now was not the time to be willful, and Xu Xingyu's suggestion was still the best solution.
As for how to get to the Sanhe Mountains, that is not a problem. When the Holy Evil War is over, just leave the Holy Evil Island with the Army of Light and find a place that sells maps.
Just as the two were planning how to proceed with the next assessment, a tragic wail resounded throughout the Holy Evil Island.
The two people who heard the screams immediately entered a fighting stance and began to use their mental power to explore the direction from which the screams came.
"Has someone been in trouble?" Gu Qiuxi frowned and asked, "Could it be that the battle between the light and dark five elements continents has ended? So soon?"
"Indeed, if that's the case, then it's a little too fast. According to my estimation, the battle between the Holy and the Evil will take another day or two." Xu Xingyu said thoughtfully, "Qiu'er, let's go over and take a look. Although we don't particularly want to get involved in their war, we should still take a look if something really goes wrong. After all, the Light side is still helping us take care of Yalin'er."
Gu Qiuxi nodded and said, "Well, let's go."
After saying that, the two of them turned into two streams of light and headed towards the place where the screams came from. However, the moment they arrived, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
Yao Xianshu, who seemed to be the Saint of Bright Jiamu, was kneeling in tears in front of a smug-looking pig with chrysanthemum patterns on his face, crying out "how could this happen? How could this happen?" over and over again.
Surrounding him were Ji Dong and others. At this moment, they were looking at Yao Xianshu and Juhuazhu with helplessness and pity on their faces.
Seeing this scene, Xu Xingyu, as a Blue Star traverser, knew what was going on. Yao Xianshu was ultimately unable to escape being tricked by the Chrysanthemum Pig. However, Gu Qiuxi had no idea what was going on, so she immediately asked:
"What the hell is going on? What on earth is that guy crying about? Is your war with the Dark Five Elements Continent over?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ji Dong and the others immediately became alert, but when they saw that the speaker was the couple Xu Xingyu and the others relaxed.
"Xu Xingyu! Gu Qiuxi! So you are here! I thought you would be deeper in the Holy Evil Island! Have you finished your so-called business?"
"It's done." Xu Xingyu nodded and said, "So what are you doing?"
“Uh…” Ji Dong looked at the grief-stricken Yao Xianshu and responded speechlessly: “To put it simply, Yao Xianshu was cheated.”
According to Ji Dong's explanation, the development of the matter was similar to what Xu Xingyu remembered, that is, Yao Xianshu was tricked into breaking the Warcraft Contract by Juhuazhu, and also concluded a life-sharing contract. If something happened to the other party or he rashly terminated the contract, he would end up half dead.
All I can say is that some things cannot be prevented, and those who are destined to be deceived will still be deceived. There is no way that if Yao Xianshu is not deceived here, then Chrysanthemum Pig will not be able to leave here, and then in the next battle between saints and evil, the villain who seems to be called Dark Tianji will directly become a god.
However, there are still some differences. According to Ji Dong's explanation, there were specific reasons why they ended the war with the Dark Five Elements Continent so quickly.
Originally, the army of the light side gained an advantage with the Thunder Prison Axe in Fury's hand and Ji Dong's super killer move at the critical moment. But just when they were planning to kill all the people from the Dark Continent, both sides discovered that the Ten Thousand Tribulations Thunder Prison was beginning to become unstable.
This discovery made the troops on both sides stop fighting immediately and start planning to evacuate the Holy Evil Island. After all, if the Ten Thousand Tribulations Thunder Prison really got out of control, the people on the island would be completely doomed!
Ji Dong and others were the few who chose to stay after everyone else evacuated. Their main purpose was to investigate why such unusual movements occurred in the Wanjie Thunder Prison.
All I can say is that after listening to Ji Dong's story, Xu Xingyu could only feel embarrassed. After all, the unusual movement of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Thunder Prison should have been caused when he was trying to perfect the Abyss.
But it didn't seem like a good idea to tell Ji Dong about them at this stage. He didn't want to create an enemy for no reason, so he could only shift the topic to a shield.
"Even though this Yao Xianshu's experience of being cheated was tragic, at least he was protected by a holy beast. Doesn't that seem too tragic?"
Well, Xu Xingyu herself didn't believe it. The Chrysanthemum Pig was indeed very powerful, but its arrogant nature meant that no one could control it unless they were stronger than it. But there was nothing she could do to change the subject at this stage.
Fortunately, the method of changing the subject was very successful. Except for Gu Qiuxi who already knew about it, everyone present stared at Chrysanthemum Pig with wide eyes. Among them, Chrysanthemum Pig, who was the center of the topic, looked at Xu Xingyu indignantly, as if saying, "How could you sell me out like this!"
However, Xu Xingyu completely ignored Chrysanthemum Pig's dissatisfaction. If someone else did this, their conscience might be condemned, but Xu Xingyu had no regrets about selling this Chrysanthemum Pig that only liked to eat and drink Lasi, was unwilling to work, and did not even regard the contracted human as a partner but as a long-term meal ticket.
