Chapter 855: You Wouldn't Be Thinking of Throwing These Idiots to Me, Would You?
The profiteer mark on the bone stick lit up, and Adams's words became: "You are the only light of eternity."
The Eternal Divine Light didn't find any abnormality at all, hummed, and interrupted the contact.
Adams felt a chill in his heart, but also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Now he knew what "True Lie" meant. This profiteer mark could actually directly tamper with his words, and even the Eternal Divine Light couldn't find it.
The reason for the relief was "It's not that I want to lie, it's that I can't control myself," and there was no burden in his heart at all.
After these realizations, Adams couldn't help but calm down and think: Where is this place? Who are these people? They could actually do such incredible things, even the Eternal Divine Light was helpless?
"Now there are two clues. The Eternal Divine Light said that this is 'his world, he defined everything.' So, is this the world 'he' created? Is he the creator god here?" Adams muttered in his heart.
"The second clue, the Eternal Divine Light asked me to eliminate all life and let this place return to a chaotic world without life. The Eternal Divine Light couldn't do anything about 'him,' but asked me to eliminate all life. So, eliminating all life is the key." Adams continued to think.
Spirit mages were undoubtedly guys with super high intelligence, and they had rich imaginations. Otherwise, he wouldn't have discovered the Eternal Divine Light from the gaze in the sunlight back then. Combining these clues, Adams deduced a lot of information.
However, just at this moment, Xiao Gu picked up the bone stick and started running outside.
Night fell, and the silence of the desert was quiet. Very weak sounds could also be transmitted very far. In the middle of the night, a sound of killing and a miserable scream came from afar.
Xiao Gu tilted its head and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Adams, who had been silent for half the night, finally made a sound: "It's the merchant team just now. They encountered an attack."
"It's very strange for this merchant team to appear in this desert. The gnome leader is eloquent and capable. He is an excellent merchant team leader. This kind of leader doesn't go on busy trade routes, but appears in such a place with no commercial value. It is a huge waste. They don't look like they are here to do business, but more like they are fleeing." Adams just finished analyzing when he heard a series of rapid horse hoof sounds. Xiao Gu hurriedly lay on the ground, arched, and half-buried the entire skeleton frame in the sandy soil.
This action of it immediately made those God-hair cave dwellers flee in all directions, and they ran away without a trace soon.
Not long after, four horses galloped over. The gnome leader hugged the neck of the first horse, bumping on the horse's back in a sorry state. Behind him were only two guards on three horses, and another horse was empty.
Galloping to the front of the sapling land, seeing the neat saplings in front, the gnome leader subconsciously reined in his horse and bypassed the sapling area to continue fleeing.
The horse hoof sounds behind were chaotic. More than a dozen horses rushed up, messy, and should be a group of sand bandits.
These sand bandits saw the gnome in front bypassing the road and thought they had encountered an obstacle. Looking closer, it was a piece
"Oh, oh, oh, I am very sorry. Quickly return the bone to the summoner, my lord. I told you to go pick up something that could cook food; how did you end up picking up the summoner's servant? Did you lay a hand on it? You aren't hurt, are you?" the goblin asked with a mix of blame and concern.
Several guards said aggrievedly, "We didn't! We picked it up off the ground. There was a pile of bones on the ground, and we didn't know it had an owner."
"Then why aren't you quickly returning the bone?" After the goblin finished speaking, he turned to Xiao Gu and said, "Summoner, my lord, these children did not know that was your servant. I am very sorry and hope you will not take offense. If it is convenient, please come to our camp, have a couple of drinks, and allow us to make amends to you, my lord."
Clearly, the goblin also mistook Xiao Gu for a summoned creature, assuming there was a summoner behind it doing the driving. After all, it was common knowledge that gray-bone skeletons had no intelligence, even if this skeleton wasn't grayed very evenly and was a bit blackened.
Xiao Gu shook his head. "No drinking." After saying this, he ran to the side of the giant bird's skull, hooked his fingers into its nostrils, dragged it away, and didn't even need the guards to send it off.
"Awoo, awoo, awoo—" the giant bird's soul cried out with lingering fear, its tone filled with grievance.
Xiao Gu pretended not to hear. After all, it was he who had used the bone club to tap the giant bird first; if it really got roasted, it would be his fault.
Xiao Gu dragged the giant bird's skull to the riverside from last night and continued planting sea buckthorn. Today's sea buckthorn was much easier to keep alive than yesterday's because they had all been forced to sprout roots; once buried and watered, they could basically survive.
After planting for a while, the nearby Divine Fur Troglodytes discovered him, immediately banded together and ran over, bowed to him in a circle, and then actually tried to pick up the saplings, imitating him by planting them in the sandy ground.
"Awoo!" Xiao Gu stopped them. If they planted the trees, what would he plant?
It took a great deal of effort to make these Divine Fur Troglodytes give up the idea of helping him plant trees. However, the troglodytes did not leave; they seemed to truly regard Xiao Gu as a Divine Fur and worshipped him piously. But the problem was, where on Xiao Gu's body was there any fur?
Xiao Gu didn't care about them, as long as they didn't interfere with his tree planting.
The desert at night is silent, and even very faint sounds can travel very far. In the middle of the night, a burst of battle cries and a series of shrill screams came from far away.
Xiao Gu tilted his head and looked in the direction the sounds were coming from.
Having been silent for half the night, Adams finally made a sound: "It's that caravan from earlier. They've encountered an attack."
"It is very strange for this caravan to appear in this kind of desert. The goblin leading them is eloquent and capable; he is an excellent caravan leader. For such a leader not to take busy trade routes but instead appear in a place with no commercial value is a huge waste. They don't look like they are here to do business; they look more like they are fleeing."
Just as Adams finished his analysis, a series of rapid hoofbeats was heard. Xiao Gu quickly lay flat on the ground and arched his back, burying half of his skeleton into the sand.
This action of his immediately caused the Divine Fur Troglodytes to scatter and flee, and they were gone without a trace very quickly.
Before long, four horses galloped up. The goblin leader was clutching the neck of the first horse, bouncing on its back in a wretched state. Behind him, the other three horses only had two guards, and one horse was empty.
Galloping up to the sapling field, the goblin saw the neat saplings in the moonlight and subconsciously reined in his horse, bypassing the sapling area to continue his escape.
The hoofbeats behind were chaotic; over a dozen horses charged up, noisy and disorderly—it must have been a group of sand bandits.
Seeing the goblin ahead detour, the sand bandits thought he had encountered an obstacle. When they chased closer and saw a field of saplings, they couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha, is this damn goblin being civilized even while running for his life? Is he afraid of stepping on the seedlings on the ground? Who is planting things here? Could it be those troglodytes?"
These sand bandits were clearly very clear about the situation here and knew there was a troglodyte settlement nearby.
One who was likely the leader of the sand bandits shouted loudly: "Trample over them! Don't let that goblin run! The president of the Silver Commerce Society, holder of the Crafty Merchant Badge—this is a big fish! If we catch him, we won't have to worry for the rest of our lives."
