Chapter 81: Persuasion, and a Formal Cooperation Reached with Da Luo Cun!

~7 min read 1,312 words

【Is Su Qiu really this brave?】

【I get it now, he is this brave entirely because he has the Fire Seed!】

【The Fire Seed can burn the Mountain Ghosts, and since Su Qiu has taken the Fire Seeds of all the Chosen Ones, what the hell does he have to fear from the Mountain Ghosts!】

【So it turns out there were traces to follow for all of this.】

【I thought he was playing a game of wits, but I didn't expect he was actually playing a game of brute force!】

【.】

Su Qiu broke through the door and entered.

A middle-aged woman dressed in gray cloth suddenly appeared before everyone.

She stared blankly at Su Qiu, who had barged into the room, completely bewildered: "Who are you, and why have you come here?"

She knew every villager of Da Luo Shan.

This person was not one of them.

Then he could only have come from two sources: either a tourist attracted by the Mountain Ghosts who climbed the mountain, or a fellow who came down from the mountain!

"Hello, Miss."

"I am a participant in this Shenlu Trial."

Middle-aged woman: "?"

What kind of nonsense was this handsome fellow spouting?

A participant in the Shenlu Trial? What is this, Da Luo Shan? Where did this bullshit Shenlu come from? And "trial"? Buddy, are you treating Da Luo Shan, which is covered in Guiyi, as a joke? "You—"

"I know you have many doubts, but please listen to me finish."

Middle-aged woman: "."

As he paused, Su Qiu quickly blurted out his intentions and purpose: "I was sent here on a mission, and I came here specifically to help you eradicate the internal threats."

Upon hearing this, the dissatisfaction in the middle-aged woman's heart was gradually replaced by curiosity, and she asked: "Do you know what dangers our village has?"

Su Qiu nodded and said directly: "Of course I know. Isn't it just that some of your villagers have turned into monsters? Wouldn't it be enough if I helped you get rid of them?"

Su Qiu's answer was within the middle-aged woman's expectations.

Although there were no hints about the internal dangers of the village along the way, one could slowly deduce this from the warning sign in front of the canteen.

Therefore, the middle-aged woman was not surprised that Su Qiu said this.

On the contrary, she was even a bit disappointed.

Because they were aware of the problems occurring within their ranks, and the reason they left them unresolved was not simply out of fear or lack of means.

It was because,

they could not resolve the internal problems!

Because once the things on the mountain knew that Da Luo Cun had the power to resist, they would inevitably dispatch even more terrifying forces to Da Luo Cun.

At that time,

what would await Da Luo Cun would be a true catastrophe.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged woman shook her head at Su Qiu: "Forget it, the problems within our village do not need an outsider like you to solve. You should just leave."

"Are you worried about the guys on the mountain?"

However, Su Qiu's next words stunned the middle-aged woman.

She had not expected,

that the fellow before her would actually vaguely know the truth about this mountain.

The middle-aged woman nodded: "Yes, not just me; all of us are worried about the guys on the mountain."

"You fear it?"

"Who doesn't?"

"So you think that by keeping to yourselves, you can really wait until the problem ends?"

At this point, the middle-aged woman fell silent. They were very clear that as those things on the mountain broke through the constraints of the rules, the area covered by danger would continue to spread.

By then, it wouldn't just be the Deng Shan Jian Bu Dao; this entire mountain and the entire city would be covered in terror!

As the center of the source of danger, Da Luo Cun would inevitably suffer a fatal blow, and all of them could die here!

However, that was assuming everything happened according to the worst-case scenario.

Ever since Da Luo Cun reached an agreement with that guy, he had made a promise that he would resolve the danger for the village.

To let them all leave this hellhole safely! They only needed to keep to themselves.

Casualties would be kept to a minimum! "Kid."

"I don't care if you have the ability to solve the problem."

"I will not help you."

"Our village has a way to deal with this matter. As long as we keep to ourselves, everything will eventually pass, and the Mountain God will come to protect us."

After making a gesture of offering toward the mountaintop.

The middle-aged woman moved her gaze away from Su Qiu; clearly, she was no longer prepared to talk to this fellow.

But this was not the result Su Qiu wanted.

He leaned in toward the middle-aged woman and mocked: "No matter what preparations you have, I can be certain that before your preparations officially take effect, you will lose many, many people."

This point was beyond doubt.

The middle-aged woman understood, but for the sake of the village's survival, these sacrifices were worth it.

However, just as the middle-aged woman had convinced herself with this excuse.

Su Qiu struck again: "And you aren't even sure if these preparations will actually be useful. You are gambling just the same—if you win the gamble, a few people live; if you lose, everyone dies."

"I don't think this bet is necessary, because living a few or dying all makes no difference."

Hearing this.

The middle-aged woman's heart completely collapsed.

That's right, their gamble was for those few survivors; with a thousand people in the village, only those few lived! What difference did this make from everyone dying?

Could they really count on these few people to restore Da Luo Cun? Don't be ridiculous, that is impossible, especially in a world cursed like this. "Heh."

The middle-aged woman turned her gaze toward Su Qiu, her eyes filled with a hint of resentment: "Do we have any other choice?"

Su Qiu smiled and pointed at himself: "I am your new opportunity!"

"You?" The middle-aged woman immediately cast a look of disdain at Su Qiu: "What can you do with those scrawny arms and legs? At most, you can kill monsters, but there are always more of those things, and the problem cannot be solved."

"That is indeed true, but what if I said I could solve the problem on the mountain?"

"What?!!"

Su Qiu's words completely stunned the woman.

She widened her pupils and stared at Su Qiu in disbelief: "Do you dare to say that again?"

Su Qiu shrugged indifferently: "What is difficult about that? I said, I can solve the problem on the mountain."

The woman: "How will you prove it?"

Su Qiu did not speak, but simply took out the incomplete Divine Bow map from his system space: "This is the proof!"

The Divine Bow!

This was once the weapon of a god! Its existence was the greatest threat to the mountain ghosts!

Su Qiu only had the final piece of the Divine Bow map in his hand; if he could truly collect all the pieces, he could find the location of the Divine Bow! At that time.

Once he obtained the Divine Bow, he would gain the qualifications to become a new god!

He might actually be able to solve this problem! At the very least, even if he couldn't become a god, he could use the Divine Bow to carve out a bloody path for Da Luo Cun; the number of people who would survive would definitely be far greater than originally planned! Thinking of this.

The middle-aged woman had already accepted Su Qiu: "How can I help you?"
