Chapter 3 A Story About An Old Man

"Jiang Xiaobai, I have to remind you that all the living expenses given by our parents are in my hands, which means... I'm in charge of the family." Jiang Xiaoqian said seriously, "So, do you want to eat vegetables for a month?"

Threatened.

She threatened him.

Did he have human rights?

With a darkened face, Jiang Xiaobai sighed, "Well, I won't hide it from you now."

He took a deep breath and continued, "Let's talk about it a few years ago. It was windy and drizzling..."

"When I was climbing the mountain alone, I suddenly met a mysterious old man with a stone in his hand. He said that this stone had the function of exorcism and insisted on giving it to me."

"As you know, I'm a kind man. I even treat small animals..."

"Get to the point."

"Then I put it away. You just said that you would go to the ancient Heng Mountain. I thought since this stone could resist evil, I would let you take it there. That's all."

Jiang Xiaoqian stared at him and asked, "Which mountain?"

"..."

How could I know?

Why did she ask this?

Jiang Xiaobai blurted out two words, "Farmland Mountain."

"What does he look like?" Jiang Xiaoqian asked.

Did an old man have other looks?

Jiang Xiaobai spit out blood, "Tall, thin, ragged, messy hair... Bah, short hair shawl, no, it's full of white hair, a yellow face, very frightening."

Jiang Xiaoqian frowned and thought the story was too simple!

So did the other women.

However, Professor Wu Li was shocked when she heard the word "Farmland Mountain". "You? You have been there?"

Jiang Xiaobai, "?"

He had a bad feeling.

........................................................................

As he expected.

He didn't even have time to have dinner when he was dragged to Farmland Mountain to look for the old man.

It was getting dark.

They were bold enough to camp in the wilderness.

Jiang Xiaobai was speechless.

"It's been twenty years." Wu Li took a deep breath and said hesitantly, "The secret place I've been talking about is actually hidden in the depths of the mountain."

I see...

Jiang Xiaobai rolled his eyes secretly and was speechless again.

He thought that although archeology was important, he had to eat something!

Professor Wu Li took them straight to Farmland Mountain. They didn't even have time to get off the car to buy water.

It turned out that the problem was on the "Farmland Mountain". The old professor had been there 20 years ago. Something must have happened, so when she heard the two words "Farmland Mountain", she lost her mind immediately.

Sure enough, people can't be mean.

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at the depth of the mountain.

He was a little surprised.

In the era of scientific and technological civilization, there was even the source spell.

The area enveloped by the power of the source spell should be the "secret place" that Professor Wu Li had just mentioned.

There was something strange inside. Someone had set up an array of source spells.

"Teacher, what did you encounter in the secret place?" Sun Tong couldn't help asking.

"A terrible creature." Wu Li said with a serious expression.

"It's huge, 35 meters high, covered with fur all over its body, with a pair of scarlet eyes and a ferocious face." The old professor recalled, "We were all scared silly at that time..."

In addition to that terrifying creature, there was also a frightening corpse. His body was no different from an ordinary person's, but his blood vessels had expanded. Some strange lines covered his entire body as if he had been cursed.

It was the same as the "broken arm".

At that time, there were five people in total.

Fortunately, that terrifying creature seemed to be trapped inside and had a limited range of movement. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to escape.

"What happened later?" Jiang Xiaoqian held her breath.

"After we escaped, we called the police directly, but the police searched inside and outside for a few days and nights, but did not find that place." The old professor said, looking at Jiang Xiaobai.

She said, "It's very likely that the source stone in your hand came from that place. Not only that, the old man you met might be able to get in and out of the secret place and get close to that terrible creature."

This was her guess.

The creature was very terrifying, and its body was covered with curses. However, after more than 20 years, she finally found a chance to enter the secret place again. How could she just let it go?

Jiang Xiaobai was speechless

A famous actress once said that when you tell a lie, you have to use countless lies to prove it.

Jiang Xiaoqian became excited, "Brother, it depends on you whether I can be famous in the archeology world or not."

"I want to buy a skin." Jiang Xiaobai said weakly.

"If I can find that old man, or if I can enter the secret place and get some valuable research items, I will buy them for you directly." She said confidently.

"I want the glory collection."

"..."

Ah!

It was so difficult to be a brother now. If he was worthless, he couldn't even afford a skin.

He raised his chin and was lost in thought.

In view of the current situation, he didn't need to think about whether he should help her or not. What he needed to think about now was how to help her? How to deal with it?

How could he perfectly turn this lie into a legitimate thing, and make himself seem to have nothing to do with the source stone so that his sister and the others could safely contact the "archeology" work.

To make it clear, he didn't do it for his skin. Besides, he liked to eat vegetables, which was healthy.

So, get an old man out?

Not really.

According to Jiang Xiaoqian's character, she might even have to ask about his ancestors for 18 generations. And there was also Professor Wu Li, who insisted that the old man could enter the secret place.

So this old man must be something.

But now his strength was damaged and he needed time to recover. He couldn't use his power too much.

Who knew if there was a big boss who had survived from the Era of Wildness like him in the era of technology civilization?

He had an idea!

Jiang Xiaobai came up with a perfect plan.

........................................................................

Late at night.

After the girls fell asleep, Jiang Xiaobai tiptoed to the depths of the mountain.

As the only disciple of Ruthless Emperor, although his strength was damaged, even if there was only a millionth of his strength, he was still able to kill people in this era of technological civilization. Oh... No, he was able to protect himself.

Of course, the source spell in front of him couldn't stop him.

When he came to the front of the array, the demonic beast, which looked mighty and ferocious, crawled on the ground, trembling. It didn't dare to breathe heavily, and its expression was full of fear.

"It's really an array of the source spell." Jiang Xiaobai said in surprise. "It seems that the heavenly source masters are still alive!"

A little interesting.

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the demonic beast and asked, "Why are you so nervous?"

The demonic beast said through its telepathic link, "Human master, don't kill me."

"Ouch!"

It even cultivated the spiritual sense.

Jiang Xiaobai asked in surprise, "Can a loser like you cultivate spiritual sense?"

The next moment, he was suddenly enlightened. "I see. This array is nourishing you, right?"

"The array without the support of the source stone can still work for a long time... Wonderful! It's beyond words. Yezi couldn't even perfectly combine the "source" with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!"

"It's a pity that a good array is used to nourish a low-level demonic beast." Jiang Xiaobai sighed. "I originally wanted you to die naturally, leaving you to my sister for study, and also changing my game skin. But now it seems that it's not appropriate. Since you have a spiritual sense, which is also a high-level creature, I won't kill you."

"Thank you, human master!"

"But I have to buy skin. I've been longing for the glory of Joyce for more than half a year, so I can only make you suffer a little!" Jiang Xiaobai blinked and walked forward.

Suddenly, he saw a piece of mask fragment on the rubble heap.

"Isn't it the thing of my master?"

Jiang Xiaobai was shocked and stared at the fragment.
