Tang Shidao was no longer interested in "strength" after defeating Xun Changqing in the arena of the Upper Mortal World, resolving the hidden dangers of the Evil Spirit in the Upper Mortal World, and truly stepping into the ancestral spirit realm after cultivating the omnipotent universe. Therefore, he entered the Upper Mortal World just to find some answers, and did not care about strength cultivation at all.
It could be said that.
He entered the Upper Mortal World just to find things that interested him, and it had nothing to do with strength.
According to the customs here.
What the old man did was wrong, and sympathy was a kind of poison here. However, Tang Shidao saw a trace of warmth. Even now, Tang Shidao did not know if there were many people like this in the Upper Mortal World. Along the way, this was the first one. In the white world, black was an alien existence, a different existence. On the contrary, in the black world, white was an alien.
At this moment.
The old man's existence was more important than an ancestral spirit elder. Because he was different.
Like a bird swimming at the bottom of the water.
Or a fish flying in the sky.
In Tang Shidao's eyes, such an "alien" was much more important than a sorcerer who was hundreds of millions of times more powerful. When the sun shone, people would stand under the shade of a small tree. When night fell, people would stand beside the small candlelight. Now, this old man was like a candlelight.
"Hey, Leader Hu, there's a kid following us." Every team had a whip, and it was the one who liked to beat people.
"What's going on?" The leader was the flag-bearer, and it was the most arrogant one.
"We don't know either. Earlier, Old Man Tang saw that he was hungry and wanted to secretly leave him a piece of sweet potato, but I stopped him. After that, this kid has been following us. Leader Hu, do you want us to beat him up? "The flag-bearers liked to beat people up, so they would beat him up first.
"You pig brain, don't mess with teams with more and fewer people."
"But …"
"Even if he's a newbie, it's not easy to come down alone. Go, leave him a pile of food, we won't cause trouble. "The leader was a leader after all, so he was careful.
However, he guessed wrong.
After a while.
The flag-bearers ran back. "Leader Hu, he didn't want it."
When the leader heard this, he immediately lashed out with his whip. "How many times have I told you to speak clearly? Don't do these useless things. Tell me, how did you give it to him? How did he react? "
"We handed it to him, but he ignored us."
"Tsk … Freak."
"That's right, he's a freak. What do we do now? "
"Put it beside him and leave."
A short while later.
The whip bearers returned. "Leader, he didn't take it. He didn't even look at it."
"Troublesome."
"That's right, this guy …"
"Sister, I'm saying that we might be in trouble. He doesn't want to eat and he doesn't care about you. This proves that he doesn't care about us at all. Of course, it could also be a bluff. The worst reason is that a team has their eyes on us. He's a Sentinel. No matter what, everyone had to be careful. Remember, do not take the initiative to cause trouble. We're in an underground cave, and the monsters around us are all enemies. We're already tired enough, "the leader ordered loudly.
"Yes, sir." The dozen or so whip holders responded loudly, but they didn't think that Tang Shidao was capable of anything.
The hunting operation continued.
It would cost quite a lot to open it up, so it would be a loss to return too early.
The team worked hard to collect and make a fortune.
Tang Shidao followed behind slowly, occasionally paying attention to some special murals. Compared to the ones bought with money, these murals were much more 'young' and did not look like they were left behind too long ago. Most of the real relics from the ancient era were close to the core of the Void Soil. Therefore, these murals obviously did not meet the criteria. It was very likely that later generations had observed them from below and then copied them.
"The giant ant army is coming, let's go."
"Give up on the ant eggs, or they'll chase after us."
Most of the time, the hunting operation was not about killing, but stealing. This was not a problem of combat power, but that the mages did not want to fight too hard. Even if they knew the underground cave well, they would often encounter different enemies. The most dangerous thing was that the monster hordes were driven away by the stronger teams below, which could be a disaster for the teams in the shallow layer. Therefore, they would not fight if they could.
From what Tang Shidao saw, the teams in the shallow layer would not fight when they encountered large monster hordes, whether it was monster hordes or insect hordes.
A 'Fire Wave Spell' could deal with them, but the mages did not dare to make a move.
When they encountered small monster hordes.
The mages also competed with weapons, not spells. It was the same for the team members. Weapons and armor were the most commonly used. Very rarely, some mages would cast spells to behead the enemy. At that time, they were extremely careful, and even needed their mage companions to protect them. Otherwise, no one would be willing to cast spells to kill the enemy.
Tang Shidao could understand their concerns.
The interference of the secret spring was too serious.
At his level, he naturally did not care about the secret spring, but the mages below the Saint Realm were afraid that the secret spring would affect them if they cast a fireball. After the battle, they must retreat to a safe place to start treatment. The first priority must be the mages, flag bearers, and whip bearers, then the young cultivators, and finally the middle-aged and old porters.
There were also scholars in the team, veterans who were familiar with the underground cave.
However, their status was not very high.
Strength was always the first priority.
"Sir, hello, the leader asked me to send a gift, I hope you can accept it." The old man's second meeting was to send a gift, an order from the leader.
The gift was food.
A little plant, a little meat, a little magic beast meat.
The quantity was not much, but it had a hidden meaning.
"I don't need it, you can take it." Tang Shidao gestured slightly.
"This … But, sir, you haven't eaten for almost two days. There are flying insects in the front section, and you need a lot of strength. You should eat a little. "The old man handed it over again, probably because the leader ordered him to send it and then ask for some information.
"I really don't need it, I don't eat raw meat. Do you have something to ask? Go ahead. "
"This … No, I …"
"Let's have a chat. I haven't asked for your name yet. "Tang Shidao simply asked first.
"My surname is Tang, I don't have a name, you can just call me Old Man Tang."
"Oh, I'm surprised, my surname is also Tang, my name is Tang Feng." Tang Shidao showed his identity card.
"Hello, Sir Tang Feng."
"I don't mean any harm to you, you can tell your leader not to worry. Actually, the person I'm curious about is you. "Tang Shidao gave a small guarantee first.
"Me?" Old Man Tang was puzzled.
"Yes, you're very strange. I've seen many people here, but no one has ever been kind enough to remind me, and no one has ever helped me. But you, you're an exception. I can see that you didn't do it on purpose, it was a subconscious action. It's as if you've done it many times before, and you didn't think much of it before helping. "
"I … I can't help. I'm very weak, and I'm not a mage. "Old Man Tang hurriedly waved his hands.
"Yes, that's strange. You're very weak, and you're not a mage, but you have this habit. More importantly, you're still alive. Do you know, in this kind of environment, it's very difficult for someone like you to survive, you'd have died many times already. It's not right to say that you're lucky and have someone protecting you. You only have one arm left, which means you don't have luck. But, you're still alive. "
"I …" Old Man Tang didn't know how to answer.
"There may have been good people in the Desolate World in the previous generation, but, I don't think they lived long. It's very unreasonable for you to live to this age. With no protection, no luck, and no power, it's completely unreasonable for you to survive. "
"It's luck, isn't it?" Old Man Tang regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth.
"No. I personally think that you have nothing. It's just that there are often some wonderful coincidences in the world. Some people are born especially smart, some people are born especially strong, and some people are born especially gifted. There are also some people who have nothing, but they naturally know how to do the right thing. "
Old Man Tang was confused.
He really didn't understand.
"Are you a scholar?" Tang Shidao suddenly asked another question.
"Mm … Not really, I just know a little more about the underground caverns." Old Man Tang nodded.
"That's one of the right things. When you were young, you could rely on your strength, but when you're old, you can only rely on your knowledge. The other old people don't have your ability, so it's hard for them to survive even if they're careful. You're 'messing around', but you're still able to live well. Let me ask you, do you know what's on the second floor? "
"I read books … I read a few."
"Mm, that's one of the right things. With your strength, it's impossible for you to go to the second floor in your lifetime, and no one invited you. However, preparing for a rainy day is the foundation of growth. At your age, it's basically impossible for you to take a step forward. However, your learning has allowed you to have this possibility. Let me ask you again, have you seen these murals? "
"I remember a few." Old Man Tang was confused. He didn't know what he had done right.
"Remember? Very good, that's a very correct thing. Let me ask you, why do you remember? "Tang Shidao smiled.
"There are some murals of monsters in the caverns."
"No, most of them aren't."
"Mm, it's fine if there aren't any. If I remember that there aren't any here, then the team can rest assured that we won't encounter such monsters. "Old Man Tang only did things according to his heart.
"Remember the 'there's' and the 'there's'? Very good. "
"…" Old Man Tang didn't know what was so good about this. He thought that Tang Shidao was thinking too much. In reality, he was only doing as much as possible for his family to have a better life. He wanted to do as much as possible and remember more knowledge to prevent himself from being useless in the future.
He didn't know.
From the perspective of a Genesis Divine Body, Tang Shidao knew that this old man's "survival" was basically an unknown.
Environment.
Custom.
Character.
The Creation God didn't need to look at a person's entire life. Just by looking at these three things, he could roughly know what a person would be like. In Tang Shidao's opinion, this old man probably wouldn't live past thirty years old. However, he was already over a hundred years old. Because of the existence of the secret spring, magic energy couldn't nourish too many living beings here. It only helped a little. Otherwise, he might be younger and stronger.
However …
At this level, he still managed to survive for a hundred years.
If it was the void, who knew what he would become.
Tang Shidao knew about the existence of the void world, so he didn't believe in fate. However, on the other hand, if this old man had once lived in the void world, he would have possessed great strength and a righteous temper. Although death washed away his strength and memories, there were still some things that were 'preserved'.
Then, his existence was reasonable.
Tang Shidao was puzzled … If that was the case, what would be preserved?
