Chapter 99 The Hope of Upgrading
A bronze hilt was exposed, and the mottled rust on it told of the long years it had gone through. Below the hilt was a bronze blade. Looking closely, there seemed to be a red skylark soaring above the blade.
However, this is a broken sword.
How could it be a broken sword!
Zhao Yushu felt a pain in his eyes and couldn't help shedding tears. This broken sword actually burst out with such a strong sword intent that he almost got hurt just by looking at it. It was worthy of being something that Madam Xu had a fancy for.
The young man held the hilt of the sword and made a downward stabbing gesture: "The mountain god is crazy. I will stab him."
Zhao Yushu thought about it and understood what the boy said: the mountain god was crazy. The boy stabbed the mountain god with the unknown sword and temporarily restrained the mountain god.
As for how the mountain god went crazy, how the young man subdued him, and why the sword broke, Old Zhao had no idea for the time being.
"What's your name?" Lan Ling asked.
The boy put the broken sword back into his arms and blinked: "Black Deer."
The name really suits your skin color and figure. Zhao Yushu instinctively wanted to complain, but he held it back.
"Uh, Black Deer, okay, we will call you Black Deer too. We were outside and encountered some people whose eyes turned bloodshot and they kept chasing us. Is this the danger you mentioned?" Lan Ling wanted to try calling him Xiao Hei or Xiao Lu, but she felt it was too weird to say it, so she finally chose to call him Black Deer directly.
Black Deer nodded: "Pollen."
Yes, both of them smelled a scent of flowers after the thunder. Lan Ling had a high level of cultivation and was quick to react, so he was not hit. Zhao Yushu relied on Buddhist beads to cleanse his consciousness and barely escaped.
Zhao Yushu thought for a moment and said, "They were all ordinary people before, but now they have become very powerful. How long will this last?"
"The sun is fine."
The sun? Zhao Yushu scratched his head with great effort, and then suddenly realized: "It will be fine when the sun rises?"
Black Deer nodded: "Bloom, in the evening."
Okay, although there are some communication barriers, Heilu's ability to extract keywords is still good. At the same time, Lao Zhao's imagination is also very strong. At least he has figured out a little bit of the situation.
First of all, the instigator of the whole incident was indeed the mountain god, but this mountain god was in a very bad condition. He was sick and crazy, and now he was restricted by the black deer. Although the extent of the restriction was unknown, it was certain that the mountain god could not take action personally.
In addition, the hunter and the old witch had their minds controlled by the mountain god using pollen and their strength enhanced. The good news is that this pollen will die when exposed to light, but the bad news is that there will be another wave at night.
Zhao Yushu now has two choices. One is to run away with the children at daybreak and hand the children over to the old village chief, the NPC, and the mission will be completed.
The second is to strike him dead while he's ill. The chaotic and evil mountain god is in such a bad state right now, why not take the opportunity to kill him once and then wait until the New Year to set off firecrackers to scare him?
"You..." Zhao Yushu pointed to the thin rope on the black deer's neck. This boy is so naive. Can we cheat him? No, can we spend some money to buy this thing from him? Although it's half, we should get it first.
As soon as Hei Lu saw Zhao Yushu's fingers, he immediately covered his robe tightly and said, "Mine."
"I know. That's right. I want it too. How about you name a price?"
Lan Ling tugged at Zhao Yushu's sleeve and said, "Brother Zhao, what do you want a broken sword for?"
Zhao Yushu scratched his head. I can't tell you that I rely on it to upgrade to level three. This thing is hard to come by for me. The ghost and Buddha almost cost me my life, and my good brother Bujie literally gave up half of his life and still couldn't upgrade me. This is a rare opportunity I have come across, and if I let it go, I would be really sorry for my disaster-prone physique.
Black Deer blinked, as if trying to think about the meaning of Zhao Yushu's words, and finally drew out the sword: "Kill the mountain god, my friend, it's for you."
What do you mean?
"Did he say that if you want to kill the mountain god, he will treat you as a friend and give you this thing?"
Lan Ling translated it, and Zhao Yushu felt that her translation was correct.
Killing the mountain god is such a challenging task. If I don’t do it, would I still be Zhao Yushu?
"Deal, buddy." Zhao Yushu held out his hand.
Black Deer was stunned for a moment, then took back the sword: "Kill him, then we are friends, then we will give him."
Damn, I want to shake your hand, not ask you for anything, you bastard.
You make me so embarrassed.
Old Zhao withdrew his hand in disappointment and tried to find a trouser pocket to put it in to ease the embarrassment, but ancient trousers had no pockets, which made it even more embarrassing.
"Hehe, is it okay for the child to be with you? He can take care of himself if he's hungry or sleepy." Zhao Yushu decisively changed the subject.
"Safe." Black Deer said concisely.
Okay, safety is the most important thing, human life is more important than anything else.
"How to kill the mountain god? Just stab him?" Zhao Yushu felt that if Hei Lu's sword could not kill the mountain god, or even broke, then only Madam Xu would have to take action. But Madam Xu could not be exposed easily, so it would be best if Hei Lu had a plan.
Black Deer stretched out his hand and gestured at his neck: "Chop off my head!"
It's so bloody and violent. If you had the chance to stab him, why didn't you just chop off his head?
As if seeing through Lao Zhao's thoughts, Black Deer lowered his head and said, "Mountain God, you are awesome."
I see. There was no fight. I only had time to injure the mountain god once. There was no chance to behead him. But is this sword so powerful? It crippled the mountain god with just a wound. But is this sword too fragile? It broke into two pieces directly.
"Okay, I'll go with you. You hold him back while I chop off his head. Don't look at me like that. I'm not good at frontal combat. I prefer, um, sneak attacks."
Hei Lu hesitated to speak, but finally nodded.
"I'll work with him to hold back the mountain god. Judging from Hei Lu's expression, he shouldn't be sure." Lan Ling saw Hei Lu's worry and decisively joined the team.
Wasn't the mountain god restrained? Are you still not sure you can restrain him? How strong was the mountain god before? What's the inside story?
If it is really an internal scene, there is no need to fight with you. To use the words of a fat senior brother in a novel in my previous life, you will die if he looks at you.
Old Zhao is completely confused about the mountain god's current condition, but instead of expecting Hei Lu, who has a language barrier, to explain things clearly, it would be better for him to go and see for himself.
"It's getting dark, go out!" Black Deer raised his head. The last ray of sunlight disappeared completely and night fell.
"Are you crazy? Didn't you say that the flowers will bloom after dark? Shouldn't we wait until tomorrow to go out?" Zhao Yushu found it a little unbelievable.
"Mountain God, it's dark, show up."
Fuck, Zhao Yushu wanted to curse. The mountain god is strongest when it is dark and disappears when it is dawn. This guy really has no flaws.
Without further ado, the three of them adjusted their states and filed out. When they emerged from the pool, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the cloudless starry sky, and a familiar yet dangerous floral scent wafted over.
Haha, does this flower bloom with thunder? Zhao Yushu and Lan Ling used their spiritual power to cover their mouths and noses to block the pollen. In the distant mountains and forests, roars came from afar...
