The Legend of the Immortal Cauldron

After listening to Matthew's words, the Xuanwu Beast King's eyes as deep as a deep pool narrowed slightly, as if there were countless years of accumulation hidden in his eyes.

The originally restless mood seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force. It seemed to have fallen into deep thinking and fell into silence briefly.

The surrounding air seemed to become heavier with its silence, and only the sound of slight breathing echoed in the silence, as if it was the sound of time slowly flowing.

After a moment, it slowly opened its thick and wide mouth, and as the mouth opened, a faint breath came out.

A low and rich voice came from deep in his throat, like an ancient bell being tolled, with a shocking power: "The last question, besides the Black Boundary Stone, do you know any other ways to leave this place? ?”

The sound echoed in the empty space, and every word seemed to hit the surrounding walls, then slowly reflected back and fell into Matthew's ears.

Matthew was slightly startled by this sudden question. His eyes instantly became sharp, and his mind was like a high-speed gear, quickly capturing the profound meaning contained in it.

In just a moment, he understood the desire and expectation hidden behind Xuanwu Beast King's words.

It is a yearning for freedom after being trapped for a long time, and a strong curiosity about the unknown world. The situation is almost the same as that of the Mang Cang tribe.

"Could it be that...are you planning to leave Mangcang Treasure Pavilion?"

Matthew narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a calm tone.

Although he already had the answer in his mind, out of caution, he still needed to further confirm the other party's true intentions.

The Xuanwu Beast King nodded slightly, indicating his acquiescence.

Its movement seemed a bit heavy, as if it was carrying the shackles of countless years.

Then, it continued in a tone with a touch of emotion and yearning: "Yes, I have always been curious about the vast and unknown world outside. I have also been fortunate enough to hear those humans who accidentally entered this place describe the wonders of the outside world. The sight. But unfortunately, we never found a way out."

Having said this, the Xuanwu Beast King's eyes became more determined, and his originally deep eyes were flashing with fiery light, as if he had made up his mind to break through this long-held prison and explore a wider world. world.

Its body trembled slightly, which seemed to be the physical manifestation of its inner excitement.

Immediately, it continued: "Not only me, but also the other three beast kings. We have also looked for many ways. We have searched every corner of the Mangcang Treasure Pavilion, exploring every possible existence. We also tried various secret passages. A powerful impact of force, trying to break the confinement of this space, but every effort is like a cricket shaking a tree, without any harvest. We put all our hopes on this cave, hoping that the old guy would leave something behind. to allow us to leave.”

"However... when I went deep into it, I couldn't find anything that could activate the black boundary stone."

The Xuanwu Beast King's voice quietly revealed a hint of helplessness and deep frustration that was difficult to conceal.

Its eyes, which were originally as bright as stars, now seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze, looking a little dull.

After hearing what the Xuanwu Beast King said, Matthew was slightly startled. After a moment of silence, he slowly turned his gaze to the huge beast in front of him and said slowly: "I think you already know that the Black Boundary Stone has fallen into my hands. Furthermore, I dare to come here alone today, so I am confident that I can escape from here safely. "

Although Matthew's words were spoken in an understatement, the confidence and determination contained in them are self-evident.

Obviously, he intended to comfort the Xuanwu Beast King's hanging heart and make him believe that he had enough ability to escape unscathed and succeed in the Mang Cang Treasure Pavilion.

After listening to Matthew's words, the Xuanwu Beast King's eyes, which were as big as copper bells, instantly bloomed with a bright light. The dark color that was originally filled in his eyes quickly receded like a tide at this moment, disappearing without trace. Without a trace.

I saw the Xuanwu Beast King taking a deep breath, as if sucking all the surrounding air into his belly, and then slowly said: "Okay, I believe what you say. Then, let me talk to you Let’s discuss the terms of this deal.”

Its voice was deep and rich, with a hint of excitement.

However, facing the words of the Xuanwu Beast King, Matthew just nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew, but did not say another word.

For a moment, there was silence all around, with only the gentle breeze rustling the leaves.

"You just need to spare my life and don't refine me. In return, I will hand over all the wealth I have accumulated throughout my life to you. Not only that, I can also personally lead you to find the other three beast kings. Presumably you already have the fief runes, so you must have collected all the other runes. With your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to conquer them."

The Xuanwu Beast King talked eloquently.

However, after Matthew heard these words, he couldn't help but sneered in his heart.

On the surface, these conditions seemed very simple and clear, but in fact, Matthew was keenly aware of a subtle hint of temptation in them.

In the final analysis, this Xuanwu Beast King just wanted to find out whether he really had the other three runes in his hand.

"Then what?"

Matthew was not a fool, how could he reveal his details? He looked at the Xuanwu Beast King opposite him with a smile.

The Xuanwu Beast King saw that Matthew did not continue to talk along with his words, and knew that his little thoughts had been seen through by Matthew.

He did not feel any abnormal emotional fluctuations in this regard.

He also knew that the request he just made would definitely not be satisfied by Matthew.

Immediately, he continued: "What I just said is only part of the conditions. In addition to the above conditions, I can also take you to find any treasures in the Mangcang Treasure Pavilion. Many things are useless to us beasts, but they are treasures for you humans."

The Xuanwu Beast King has lived for many years. Although he is not a human, his mind is not dull.

He also knows that negotiating conditions requires a step-by-step process, and it is impossible to put all the conditions on the table at the first opening.

A transaction is a negotiation, which requires a back-and-forth and mutual consultation process.
