Chapter 518: Great Gains! (10,000 Words Asking for Monthly Tickets!)
As a Fifth Order Evil God, Yingfei had been mingling in the Disaster Zone for many years.
Although his Cataclysm Path, "Life-Symbiosis," was quite unique, which resulted in having not many believers, he mainly relied on himself to increase his power.
However, over the years, even if he hadn't eaten pork, he had seen pigs run. He had witnessed a lot of human intrigue and deception.
So he knew one truth well: a bottom card only remains a bottom card when it hasn't been played.
And if someone plots to take something from you, you must never give it to them, because the moment you hand it over, you will lose all value in their eyes.
Thinking this, Yingfei chuckled "hee hee," purposely playing coy, "I'm not looking for anything? I'm just wandering around."
After saying this, he looked up at Qiu Tu, preparing to await Qiu Tu's inquiry and then gradually negotiate terms.
For instance, having Qiu Tu release him, and then he would tell Qiu Tu what he was searching for.
For example, asking Qiu Tu to give him some "Boundless Divine Crystal" to stabilize his consciousness.
Or at the very least... asking Qiu Tu to exchange his storage equipment?
The "Gold-Addicted Wallet" was filled with clutter, like a garbage heap, and the living conditions were terrible.
Anyway, Yingfei had made up his mind. He really only had one or two chips at hand. If he gave them away easily, he would be done for.
Then, as he was thinking this, his gaze met with Qiu Tu's.
In that instant, Yingfei was startled, and his whole body felt cold.
Because he realized that Qiu Tu's face wasn't showing the greed or eagerness he had expected, not even a trace of urgency.
Calm, extremely calm, even to the point of being ruthless.
That ruthlessness made his hair stand on end.
It was a feeling he had never experienced since becoming a Fifth-Order Great Evil God.
So, in that moment, a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart.
He hurriedly opened his mouth, trying to explain something.
But! The next second, he only felt a terrifying force overwhelm his body!
It felt almost the same as when he was sealed of all his power before being slashed by a sword today.
Panic-stricken, Yingfei tried to recover, but in that instant, his brain turned into a void state, and his memories seemed to automatically unfold.
And his mouth began to speak uncontrollably, "Mountain Root. I am searching for Mountain Root."
At that moment, Yingfei's pupils widened, looking at Qiu Tu in disbelief.
Qiu Tu moved a chair beside the "Soul Shackles" and continued to ask, "Mountain Root? What is Mountain Root?"
"Isn't there no Mountain Root in the Disaster Zone?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Yingfei's face was full of terror, but his mouth kept on, "There is no Mountain Root in the Disaster Zone."
"But... that Mountain Root was brought back from the Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region."
"Muye gained the favor of the Sixth-Tier Great Evil God Yaksha, and after being promoted to the Sixth Tier, would stay on as an envoy in the Boundless Heart Sea - Peripheral Area."
"Thus, Yaksha sought a special cataclysmic treasure for him: Mountain Root."
"The purpose of Mountain Root is..."
Because Qiu Tu had just inquired, "What is Mountain Root?" Yingfei began to ramble about the functions of "Mountain Root."
Qiu Tu listened to him talking endlessly about the function of Mountain Root, while his mind was also running fast.
Muye actually had Mountain Root?
Wasn't that misinformation spread? How did false become true?
Moreover, when he inquired using the "Order Space," it verified that it was false information.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help piecing together the whole story in his mind.
For a moment, Qiu Tu's eyes lit up, suddenly realizing that "Muye" really lived up to being the Great Evil God who cultivated "Mask." Truly skillful.
He clearly had already obtained "Mountain Root" and knew all its details.
Yet, after discovering the "earth vein flower" in Dongye State, he deliberately said the heavy treasure of Dongye State was "Mountain Root" to sow discord.
Even when captured by surprise, after Qiu Tu inquired for information, he answered only what Qiu Tu asked, never revealing more, successfully hiding the "Mountain Root."
Qiu Tu speculated that this was likely Muye's last bottom card preserved for himself.
Planning to pull it out as a lifesaver when Qiu Tu intended to dispose of him.
Unexpectedly, this information was known by Yingfei. He snuck over to search and got caught red-handed by Qiu Tu.
As to why Yingfei knew, Qiu Tu guessed he probably had a good relationship with Muye.
After all, Muye's Cataclysmic ability was "Life Giving," so he was always making connections with Evil Gods on the "Life" path.
While exchanging, Muye might have revealed this information to enhance his status and gain greater cooperative dominance.
Unexpectedly, however, Yingfei remembered it and almost pulled off a home theft.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu waved to interrupt Yingfei, who started eloquently speaking about the wonders of "Mountain Root," then asked, "Did you get the Mountain Root?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Yingfei shook his head and succinctly said, "No."
It's uncertain if the "Order Space" truly had the ability of "Twisted cognition."
After answering Qiu Tu's question, Yingfei took the initiative to remind, "Muye is an old fox, with cunning plans in multiple places."
"His believers are each more insidious and cunning than the last."
"When he was drunk before, he told me his Temple was too conspicuous. He dared not hide 'Mountain Root' inside the Temple."
