Chapter 640: The Real Purpose
"I'm Xiao Qiang, a martial artist-level demon cultivator. I'm here to do the task of Lingshi. I'm very happy to be able to go with you. I hope you will take care of me!" Xiao Chen said, clasping his fists.
"It's easy to talk about." The others laughed and said, "The four of us are all members of Captain Tagan."
"My name is Zhang Chongyuan, and I'm nicknamed Baldy. My friends can call me Brother Baldy." Said a bald team member.
"My name is Jiang Youshui, and my nickname is Jiang Shouzi." Another teammate with a somewhat slender body said.
"Call me Xiaocheng." This is a man with a gloomy complexion, who doesn't look very attractive.
"My name is Xueqian." This was a woman wearing a veil, Xiao Chen couldn't see her real face clearly, but it gave him a familiar feeling, as if she had seen her somewhere before.
Xiao Chen nodded and said hello, and then said, "Excuse me, do you often explore together?"
"No, we are all archaeological enthusiasts. When we have tasks, we will gather together, but we don't get together very often. We can see each other about once a year." The bald man waved his hand and said, "We all have our own specialties."
"That's right, I'm in charge of making arrangements. I discovered the ruins, estimated the value of the ruins, and then we connected on the Internet and got together!" said the previous person named Tagan Shanxiong: "We all come from different sects or families. , each other will not deliberately ask each other about the background, and this kind of adventure, the more people there are, the more lively, I invite you this time, if you think it is good, you can also join us next time, let’s go to other places together Ruins Exploration!"
"So that's the case." Xiao Chen nodded, thinking in his heart that it's no wonder that these four people and Tagan Shanxiong didn't come together, so they all came from all directions!
"Yeah, how's it going, are you interested?" Tagan Shanxiong asked with a smile.
"I'll take a look first." Xiao Chen didn't reply immediately. Whether this Tagan Shanxiong was an enemy or a friend, whether it was good intentions or malice, Xiao Chen didn't know for the time being, at least from what this person said, Xiao Chen couldn't see anything intent to come.
At most, these people wanted to find something in the ruins, but they didn't intend to divide him up, they just planned to give him the spirit stone, but this was understandable, no one could be so generous to a stranger.
"Okay, since we're all here, let's go!" Tagan Shanxiong waved his hand, and led Xiao Chen and others into the ruins of the Paoli Clan's Cultivation City.
Inside this ruins, the sight is more dilapidated than Xiao Chen imagined, there are broken walls everywhere, and yellow sand all over the ground, but judging from the vaguely magnificent buildings, this place must have been prosperous for a while.
I don't know why the Paoli clan gave up here in the end, was it an accident or what? If it is not an accident, it is impossible to leave important things here when moving.
Although the spirit stone is not as valuable as the spirit jade, it is still a very cherished thing. It is left here for people to find, which shows how hurried the Paoli clan left.
"Don't touch things on the ground casually!" At this time, Tagan Shanxiong reminded Xiao Chen: "Don't look at the ground, sometimes you will see spirit stones, but that is an illusion forged by the desert sojourner scorpion. Poison, whoever touches it will die! Brother Xiao Qiang, you have to pay attention!"
"I understand." Xiao Chen smiled gratefully. Although he knew it, it was very kind of this person to remind him. So far, Xiao Chen let go of his guard a little bit, but he didn't let go completely.
Several people walked forward quickly, and Tagan Shanxiong led the way, as if he was very familiar with the terrain here, he didn't stop at all, and he didn't look at the map, which aroused Xiao Chen's suspicion.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn't help asking: "Captain Tagan, with all due respect, have you been here before?"
"En?" Tagan Shanxiong was taken aback for a moment, then understood Xiao Chen's meaning, paused, and said: "Of course I have been here before, and as the task initiator, I have to investigate first. It is a necessary condition. Brother Xiao Qiang, you don’t suspect that I have any plans, do you?”
"That's not true, I'm just a little curious!" Xiao Chen laughed and said, "I'm going out alone, and I'm in a strange place. Naturally, I should be more careful. I hope Captain Tagan won't be offended."
"Of course not." Tagan Shanxiong shook his head, but praised Xiao Chen a little: "You are right. It is not wrong to be cautious when going out alone. The most important thing is to be cautious when taking risks in the ruins. , not to be reckless, otherwise it is very likely that if you are not careful, you will die in Huangquan."
These words made Xiao Chen feel that Tagan Shanxiong was upright, but Xiao Chen also wondered why such a group of strangers treated him so well, did they just want him to join their expedition team?
But a person you meet so casually, you trust so much? Don't they doubt their origins? Not even asking a word?
Or is it true that as Tagan Shanxiong said, each other does not ask each other's origin?
Fortunately, Tagan Shanxiong didn't have time to talk to Xiao Chen, so after a word of praise, he continued to move forward quickly.
And Xiao Chen also saw that, except for his own doubts, other people seemed to trust this Tagan Shanxiong, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with rushing on the road like this.
Of course Xiao Chen had a good impression of Tagan Shanxiong, but that didn't mean he wasn't defensive at all.
It's just that Xiao Chen didn't think that Tagan Shanxiong would plot for him. Since he can do the task for the spirit stone, he obviously doesn't have any good cultivation resources. At least these people shouldn't join forces to rob him.
After passing through these broken walls and ruins, Xiao Chen found that the scene in front of him suddenly changed. It was no longer an endless desert, but some desert plants appeared. Even looking ahead, there was actually a dense forest in front of him. Xiao Chen was a little surprised, he could still see dense forests in the desert?
Soon, under the leadership of Tagan Shanxiong, everyone entered the dense forest, but his speed also slowed down significantly! Not only that, but before walking a distance, Tagan Shanxiong even took out a compass and a map to compare.
His behavior made Xiao Chen heave a sigh of relief. The previous road was relatively easy to walk, and the fast walking was normal. But judging from the behavior of Tagan Mountain Rhizoma in the dense forest, it should be the first time he came here, so there should be no What special plot.
After walking for several hours, Tagan Shanxiong stopped and said, "The place we are now is a secret treasure house of the Paoli clan. Not many people know about it, and the treasure is well hidden. They were also relatively scattered, and not all of them were taken away!"
Xiao Chen saw that Tagan Shanxiong looked at himself when he said this, so he nodded, and then said: "Do you need me to do anything?"
"That's right, Xiao Qiang, I think you're a demon cultivator. We really need your help to break through the treasure formation formation this time!" Tagan Shanxiong said.
"Oh? How do you say that?" Xiao Chen was a little confused, why did he need him again? Didn't he follow to make soy sauce?
However, Tagan Shanxiong explained to Xiao Chen: "Xiao Chen, through observation along the way, I know that you are a reliable and trustworthy person, so I will tell you the truth. The reason is because you are a demon cultivator."
"Oh?" Xiao Chen wondered, "You knew I was a demon cultivator before?"
Hearing Xiao Chen's question, Tagan Shanxiong nodded and said: "Yes, I can feel the aura of a demon cultivator on your body, but now this task requires the help of a demon cultivator. The reason why I didn't say it clearly before is because we We didn't build trust with each other, and when I got here, I found out through observation that you are not that kind of reckless person, and you are also very kind, so you should be a good partner!"
What this person said was very reasonable, but Xiao Chen's heart trembled, if he could see that he was a demon cultivator, he would be out of ghosts! I am not a magic cultivator at all, I am a cultivator!
It is possible to say that this person has a special ability to be able to tell whether someone is a martial artist or a demonic cultivator, but how capable is it to be able to tell that Xiao Chen is a demonic cultivator?
He didn't show any strength at all, he just introduced himself as a demon cultivator, and this person just slipped through? But don't forget, this person first found out that he cooperated with him before he knew that he was a demon cultivator.
Besides, if Xiao Chen doesn't show up here, where can he find Moxiu? The five of them won't come?
Therefore, what he said is reasonable, but in fact it is nonsense, but Xiao Chen pretended not to hear it, but showed his joy that he was valued, and said happily: "Really? Do you still need my help? I Along the way, I seem to be following my experience, and now I finally have a place to use, then Captain Tagan just speak up!"
"Originally, we planned to just look for some treasures on the periphery, but the formation on the periphery is very simple, and I'm afraid it has been broken by others long ago, but since you are a magic cultivator, brother Xiao Qiang, we can break it now Some more esoteric formations, but there may be some dangers that may lead to injury, I wonder if Brother Xiao Qiang would dare to join you?" Tagan Shanxiong's words seemed to be an explanation and supplement to the previous words.
Xiao Chen's heart trembled, but on the surface he said with a slight smile: "Of course, since I'm here, I'm going to get some good things. It's just a few pieces of spirit stones, so I'm too sorry for myself... By the way, I don't know if I have any share?"
Although Xiao Chen began to doubt Tagan Shanxiong, since it was beneficial, he would not miss it. Wealth and wealth are in danger. He felt that these people should not have lied to him. There are indeed treasures here, and he really needs his help to open something. Array.
However, the danger brought by the formation may be taken lightly by Tagan Shanxiong. Xiao Chen believes that wealth and danger coexist, and there is no such thing as getting something for nothing. (Murloc public Weixin yuren22, please add it, and share the latest news from Xiaohua and Qiangshao!)
