He had to get away as soon as possible because Gao Qi had more important things to deal with.
There were some things that he could not fight with Xiao Lin too openly. It involved the dignity of City One and there were too many people there, so Gao Qi could agree to anything unless it was a crucial condition.
After Xiao Lin gave the final timetable, Gao Qi did not hesitate at all. He looked at the sky and waved his hand.
The wave was a feint for Xiao Lin to see. Gao Qi did not want anyone to know about his communication with the Lord of Arctic Frost. It was done directly with his consciousness, but he wanted others to see that he had indeed communicated with the Lord of Arctic Frost.
"Little Han, are you hurt? Is it serious? "
"I'm hurt. It's not serious, but it hurts a lot!"
"Little Han, can you go back? It's too dangerous here. Go back and heal your wounds. Then we'll work together to kill the soul devourers."
Gao Qi tried to negotiate with the Lord of Arctic Frost, but the Lord of Arctic Frost rejected him directly.
"No, I have to find all the soul devourers right now. I have to kill Satan!"
The lie he made up back then became the basis for his cooperation with the Lord of Arctic Frost, but now that the Lord of Arctic Frost had really seen the Satan he believed in, it was not so easy to let him go back.
"How would the soul devourers dare to show themselves while you're here? Go back first. Wait for me to find the soul devourers, then you can take care of them. "
It was easier to invite the devil in than to send him away. Gao Qi tried to persuade the Lord of Arctic Frost to go back, but it was different this time. This time, the Lord of Arctic Frost was personally going to fight, so it was impossible for him to forcefully cut off his spiritual connection with the Lord of Arctic Frost.
"I'll need to recover for a long time before I can leave again, so I can't go back."
The Lord of Arctic Frost's reply surprised Gao Qi. He always thought that the Lord of Arctic Frost liked the Arctic environment, but it seemed that was not the case.
"Is it because you're hurt?"
Surprisingly, the Arctic Lord didn't immediately respond to Gao Qi's question. However, after a short while, the Arctic Lord replied to Gao Qi's question in a very serious manner in Gao Qi's mind.
"I'm not an adult yet. I need energy to grow. I need very, very powerful energy to grow. But this world … lacks the energy I need."
Here, the Lord of Arctic Frost used a concept that Gao Qi could understand: energy. Since Gao Qi's knowledge didn't have the term for the type of energy required by exotic beasts, the Lord of Arctic Frost could only explain it to Gao Qi in this way.
However, the Lord of Arctic Frost's reply indirectly confirmed Gao Qi's guess.
"So you've been staying at the bottom of the sea, not because you like it there, but because it allows you to obtain energy faster. Is that right?"
Gao Qi's question crossed the line because it involved the source of the Mythical Beast's power. It should have been the biggest secret, but the Lord of Arctic Frost trusted Gao Qi very much. Therefore, the Lord of Arctic Frost didn't hesitate to answer Gao Qi's question.
"Yes, but it seems different now."
The Lord of Arctic Frost's answer was full of doubts. Then, it asked again, "When you opened the Space Gate again, I felt a powerful energy. But now that the Space Gate is closed, the energy is still much more abundant than before. I don't feel much difference here. Why?"
Gao Qi thought for a while and said, "Because … the closed faucet is opened again. The energy in this world will become stronger and stronger, so you will soon be able to accumulate enough energy to leave the bottom of the sea again. By the way, let me ask you a question. Are you in your strongest state now? Is this the best you can do at your strongest? "
The Lord of Arctic Frost first gave Gao Qi a consciousness compression pack full of contempt and disdain. The Lord of Arctic Frost felt that Gao Qi was insulting its strength.
"Strongest state? I'm in my weakest state now! When I reach adulthood, I will be able to possess the Realm of Arctic Frost and truly freeze everything. Also, do you think I'm in my strongest state just because I use a few wind blades? I'm the great Lord of Arctic Frost. This damn world is too poor! If this was our world, how could I be hurt by … that kind of light? "
Gao Qi understood that the Lord of Arctic Frost was indeed far from its strongest state. The Realm of Arctic Frost that could freeze everything was definitely at absolute zero.
After thinking for a while, Gao Qi said to the Lord of Arctic Frost, "Go back. You go back first. I need to deal with some things first. Then, I will talk to you about power."
"You have no right to order me!"
"Listen to me and go back. Hurry up. Don't go back to your original position. It's not safe there."
The Lord of Arctic Frost expressed its anger to Gao Qi. But soon, the Lord of Arctic Frost sent a thought back to Gao Qi.
"Annoying!"
Although the consciousness compression pack that the Lord of Arctic Frost gave Gao Qi contained many emotions, the word "annoying" could be used to describe it.
Then, the Lord of Arctic Frost flapped its wings and flew away.
The pure communication of consciousness was very fast. Gao Qi and the Lord of Arctic Frost had communicated many times. But to outsiders, Gao Qi waved his hand, and the Lord of Arctic Frost flew back and forth in the sky and dove down towards Gao Qi.
Gao Qi shouted at the Lord of Arctic Frost, "Go back."
The Lord of Arctic Frost flapped its wings again and flew toward the north.
Of course, the shouting was for others to hear, and the waving was also for others to see. However, in everyone's eyes, Gao Qi could come and go at the Lord of Arctic Frost's beck and call.
That beautiful misunderstanding had to be maintained. After the Lord of Arctic Frost obediently left, Gao Qi looked at Xiao Lin and said, "The Lord of Arctic Frost has left. I'll be leaving soon too, but before I leave... Why don't we cooperate?"
Many pairs of eyes looked at Gao Qi in surprise. Xiao Lin was the only one who said calmly and seriously, "Cooperation? Cooperation is good. I've always believed that cooperation is better than confrontation, but the prerequisite for cooperation is strength. Any cooperation needs to be qualified. "
Gao Qi said respectfully, "Yes, yes, that's right. Why don't you let me discuss the details with Section Chief Yang? It's just a few words and a few minutes. As for the specifics, I'll let Section Chief Yang report it to you."
Xiao Lin's mood relaxed a lot after the Lord of Arctic Frost left. He stared at Gao Qi for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, you guys talk first."
Gao Qi immediately pulled the surprised Yang Xu to the side and said, "Section Chief Yang, today's incident..."
"Wait a minute."
Yang Xu shook his head first, then said with a look of surprise, "You're not a different person, are you? I feel like the word 'respectful' isn't enough to describe how much you've changed. "
Gao Qi said in a low voice, "In this situation, I can't be too weak, but I can't be too tough either. I'll really become an enemy of City Formation No. 1. Section Chief Yang, I'm indeed responsible for what happened today, so I'll set the stage first before giving in. Isn't that a show of sincerity?"
