Chapter 358: Little Confused Question

Chi Yao's willingness to talk made Yang Zhinu feel relieved, and she spoke slowly.

"The mission entrusted to you by the Giant King should be to find a crystal skull, right?"

Chi Yao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at Yang Zhinu's words, and said in a positive tone.

"It seems you know where the crystal skull is."

The Yang Girl raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a smile, raised her right hand and pointed a finger at the ground.

"Yes, the crystal skull is right below the Giant Flame Lizard Nursery, and is currently being used by the Giant Flame Lizard King."

Chi Yao realized something instantly, and his tone couldn't help but be a little surprised. His previous guess might, possibly, or probably came true.

"'Now'?! Is this why you are working with the Giant Fire Lizard King? You teamed up to kill the previous Giant King and share the right to use the crystal skull?"

The Daughter of Yang snapped her fingers, and the blood vines quickly grew behind her to form a throne. She sat on the throne and looked at Chi Yao.

"That's right. Two days from now will be the exchange period that I agreed with the Giant Flame Lizard King. I can give you the crystal skull then. In return, I need you to go to the Black Forest to help me do something."

Having said that, the Daughter of Yang paused, reached out and took out a round crystal from the flaming body, revealing a painful expression on her face.

"——And take this with you. There is a ruin deep in the Black Forest. This crystal stone and the crystal skull are the keys to open the ruins. As long as you successfully open the ruins, you can delay the arrival of the cold disaster."

What Yang Zhinu said made Chi Yao fall into thought, 'Opening the ruins can delay the arrival of the cold disaster. In the original novel, Brother Wusan and Xiao Mihu's mission is to prevent the black fog from dissipating, which is also to delay the arrival of the cold disaster. It roughly matches.'

"But Yang Zhinu's attitude seems a bit strange. Could it be that the previous Wei Yun Zhi Nian has something to do with her?"

Chi Yao did not ignore the sudden pause of Yang Girl just now. It was similar to the time when Yang Girl suddenly stopped before. Yang Girl seemed to be subject to some restrictions. Could it be related to her professional inheritance?

If the Lady of Yang is truly restrained, or is as afraid of the Face of Unfortunate Luck as she is of the Shadow of the Extinction of Dharma, then this is a good opportunity to make a profit.

With this in mind, Chi Yao decided to give it a try.

"Just the crystal stone and crystal skull are not enough. As you said, they are the key to open the ruins and are necessary for this cooperation. You should give them to me. And how do I know if the crystal stone and crystal skull can still be used after opening the ruins? These two things cannot be counted as rewards."

The Daughter of Yang frowned. Just now she wanted to hide some information but was countered by the contract. She could only tell all the information related to the ruins, which put her at a complete disadvantage in the negotiation.

"Then what do you want?"

Chi Yao smiled, made a gesture of opening his mouth like a lion, and stretched out his right hand with five fingers turned over.

"Five fruits of the sun's grace."

Chi———

Exploding flames suddenly surged behind Yang Zhinu. She suppressed her anger, clenched her fists, and glared at Chi Yao.

"Impossible! I don't have that many fruits right now!"

Chi Yao's eyes lit up, 'If there aren't that many, that means there are some!'

"If there are no five, there must be three, right?"

Click--click--

The daughter of Yang gradually crushed the edge of the chair in her hands, she closed her eyes, seemed to calm down, and then continued.

"No! One at most!"

Chi Yao showed a regretful expression and his tone was somewhat helpless.

"Just one? So poor? Then give it to me now!"

The daughter of Yang glared at Chi Yao fiercely but did not dare to attack. After saying a few words, her body turned into sparks and disappeared in the cave.

"Not now! I'll give it to you along with the crystal skull in two days!"

Seeing that the Daughter of Yang directly chose to disperse her incarnation, Chi Yao was also a little confused.

"Hey! Why did you just run away?!"

Only after seeing the oppressive flaming body of the Yang Girl completely dissipate did Brother Wusan and Xiao Mihu, who were watching from the sidelines, dare to come over.

Brother Wusan has almost recovered from his injuries after drinking the recovery potion. He pointed to the round crystal left by Yang Girl and said.

"I almost thought you were going to fight that fire girl again, but I didn't expect it to be resolved peacefully."

"Although I didn't understand what you just said, Huiyao, you should have triggered the subsequent stage of the hidden mission, right? This should be the key item of the mission?"

Chi Yao did not touch the crystal directly. He raised his hand and the ground bulged to form a platform that lifted the round crystal in front of Chi Yao.

[Soul Crystal]

Introduction: A compressed soul energy crystal made by some ancient secret technique. It is one of the keys to unlock the Soul Lamp Ruins. Carrying it with you can nourish your soul.

Brother Wu San and Xiao Mi Hu also saw the information about the Soul Crystal, looked at each other, and said almost in unison.

"Gray Yao, what should we do next?"

Chi Yao put the soul crystal into the empty ring and turned to look back the way he came.

"Of course we should retreat first. This is still the territory of the Giant Flame Lizard. We can't stay here for long."

Brother Wusan nodded and responded.

"Indeed, fortunately Brother Huiyao is really strong and ended the battle quickly. The movement here does not seem to have attracted the attention of those dormant giant fire lizards."

Chi Yao led Brother Wu San and Xiao Mi Hu to quickly evacuate the cave and soon returned to the ground.

"Finally I came out from underground!"

After returning to the ground, the tense Xiao Mihu let out a long sigh, then stepped forward and looked at Chi Yao curiously, blowing out a series of questions like blowing bubbles.

"Brother Huiyao, you know so much! How did you guess that the skeleton was the previous giant king?"

"Is the flaming woman just now called the Daughter of the Sun? And what is the Sun's Gift Fruit?"

"This should be the key information of the hidden mission, right? How did you know it?"

Xiao Mihu's straightforward question made Brother Wusan nervous. He reached out and pulled Xiao Mihu, and signaled with his eyes that Xiao Mihu should not continue asking questions.

Just now, during the confrontation with Yang Zhinu in the underground cave, Chi Yao revealed a lot of information, but this information was completely unknown to Xiao Mihu, which made her, who was always accustomed to lurking and mastering the overall information of the team, feel extremely uneasy. She met Chi Yao's scrutinizing eyes, knowing that her disguised innocent image might not be hidden from Chi Yao, but Brother Wu San still believed in her, so she decided to take a gamble, betting whether Chi Yao was willing to split the team at this moment.

Chi Yao looked at Xiao Mihu's watery eyes that were filled with innocence and curiosity, and couldn't help but feel that Xiao Mihu's acting skills were really excellent. Now she looked like an innocent girl asking curious questions.

This was another test by Xiao Mihu, and the timing was chosen just right. The three of them had just escaped from the dangerous underground cave, and the battles and events they had experienced before were still clearly imprinted in their minds. The questions raised at this time were difficult to avoid.

Moreover, Xiao Mihu's last question also linked all the above information to the key information of the hidden task.

If Chi Yao chooses to evade the question, it means that Chi Yao is not prepared to reveal the key information of the mission. For Wusanxiong and Xiao Mihu, if they don't know any information, the next mission process will be very dangerous. This shows that Chi Yao does not trust the two of them at all and only regards them as consumables for treading on mines.

However, Chi Yao thought that it was just because Xiao Mihu was used to playing tricks on others that she subconsciously thought that he was going to use her as cannon fodder, so she created such a questioning situation.

After reaching a cooperation with Yang Zhinu, Chi Yao had intended to make clear the relevant information about the Devouring Island. Brother Wu San could barely be considered a helper, and the buff added by Xiao Mi Hu was indeed good, but not stable enough. Whether the two of them were willing to continue to follow Chi Yao's actions depended entirely on their own choices.

Chi Yao thought that it was not necessary for him to disband the team on the spot.

Chi Yao had already prepared a story, revealing some information about the Devouring Island and putting the blame on the Phantom Troupe as the source of the information.

"Do you know the Phantom Troupe?"

One update.

I can't do this any longer! I have to update at least once a day, so I can finish writing the survival trial first!
