Chapter 346 The Mystery of the Giant
Facing Chi Yao's question, Giant King Udal answered expressionlessly.
"It is precisely because this commission is not easy that I have to find an outsider who is strong enough to do it."
Chi Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked a key question.
"If this crystal skull is important to you, why don't you go yourself?"
Chi Yao's direct question made Udal silent for a moment. He looked into Chi Yao's firm eyes and explained.
"That rift valley is the territory of the Giant Flame Lizard, and our giant family and the Giant Flame Lizard are mortal enemies."
"As the Giant King, once I appear anywhere, in the eyes of that idiot Giant Flame Lizard King, it means a full-scale declaration of war."
"And those stupid giant flaming lizards have a very sensitive sense of smell. Any smell of giants will make them riot."
As he spoke, Udal gritted his teeth, seeming to recall the unpleasant memories of facing the Giant Flame Lizard.
Then, Udal reached out and took out a stone box from the seat, opened it and pushed it in front of Chi Yao, and said.
"If I don't want to go to war with the Giant Flame Lizard clan, I will have to find outsiders to go. Of course, I will give you a generous reward. This stone box is just a deposit."
After the stone box was opened, four crystal clear crystal stones were revealed, reflecting a hazy luster under the light.
At the same time, in front of Chi Yao and Brother Wu Xian, the prompt of Samsara Paradise also popped up.
[Tip: You trigger the hidden mission: The Mystery of the Giant. 】
【The Mystery of the Giant】
Difficulty level: LV.18
Mission description: Find the lost crystal skull
Mission information: Find the lost crystal skull in the Salamander territory.
Task duration: 5 days
Task reward: This is a chain task, and rewards will be given based on the completion of the task. (The prepaid reward is four soul crystals (middle).)
Mission penalty: None
Seeing these four very familiar crystals, Brother Wu Xian's eyes suddenly widened and he exclaimed.
"Four, four soul crystals (center)? Is it just a deposit?"
Chi Yao coughed lightly and put his hand on the excited brother Wu Umbrella's shoulder. Brother Wu Umbrella, who had never seen the world, quickly calmed down.
"cough."
"No, isn't it just four soul crystals (center)? I don't care about it!"
Although Brother Wu Xian said this, his longing eyes staring at the stone box said everything.
Chi Yao, who is used to seeing soul crystals, will naturally not be bluffed, but the richness of the prepaid rewards and the "mission penalty: none" are enough to illustrate the difficulty of this hidden mission.
The excited brother Wu Xian was in sharp contrast to the unmoved Chi Yao. Seeing Chi Yao's performance, Giant King Udal couldn't help but frowned, and his voice became a little deeper.
"I think I have shown enough sincerity, human, do you still have any dissatisfaction?"
Chi Yao closed the stone box containing four soul crystals (middle) that was pushed in front of him and continued to look at the Giant King Udal.
"Udal, if it's just these soul crystals (middle), in my opinion, your sincerity is far from enough."
"Humans, greed is the original sin that leads to death. Sometimes you can only survive by giving up when you are good." Giant King Udal thought that Chi Yao was going to raise the price while sitting on the ground. He propped up his upper body and put his hands on the stone table, his gaze full of threats. mean.
"Bang, bang, bang"
Facing Udal's threatening gaze, Chi Yao responded calmly. He stretched out his fingers and tapped the stone table rhythmically while talking slowly.
"Udal, you may have misunderstood something. The sincerity I need you to show is: more intelligence information about the Crystal Skull."
"You just said so much, but you still didn't mention the key information. What does the crystal skull look like? What abilities does it have? How can we find it?"
Chi Yao's question obviously touched the sore spot of Giant King Udal. His face changed slightly and his tone hesitated a bit.
"The crystal skull is related to the secrets of my giant clan. You don't need to know this. You just need to bring it back to me."
Looking at Giant King Udal who was still trying to cover up something, Chi Yao couldn't help but sneer.
"Haha! If you just expect the two of us to try our luck in the territory of the Giant Flame Lizard like headless flies, without telling us any key information, then I can only refuse this commission."
Although "trying your luck" is indeed Chi Yao's forte, in order to obtain more information, Chi Yao doesn't mind borrowing Su's "white night negotiation skills".
As the overlord, when had the giant king Udal been rejected like this by humans? He stood up suddenly, the blue and black muscles on his arms bulged one by one, clenched his hands into fists, and took a step forward, emitting an aura that was several times stronger than before. The momentum pressed against Chi Yao and Brother Wu Xian.
"Human, do you mean to reject my sincerity?"
Facing the pressure of Giant King Udal's momentum, Chi Yao stretched out his hand and bad luck appeared in front of him, unfolding a transparent barrier to protect himself and Brother Wu Xian.
Chi Yao stood still, feeling the pressure of Giant King Udal's momentum, and inserted the reverse luck in his hand into the ground. The elements emerged around him, gathering a thunderous momentum to fight back, and instantly tore apart Giant King Udal's body. The momentum is oppressive.
Chi Yao's voice resounded like thunder, and he faced the giant king Udal without fear.
"Huh? Are you sincere? Do you want to buy and sell by force? This method won't work here!"
"Udal, let's make it clear, it's you who is asking for help from me!"
Chi Yao's words made the giant king Wudal clench his fists a few more times. Chi Yao naturally noticed Wudal's actions and reminded him "kindly".
"Think carefully before you do it. You can't keep me. If you still want to continue the commission, then face the reality. We are in an equal position."
Seeing that Chi Yao was so strong, the giant king Wudal frowned and his expression changed. After a long time, he sighed and continued.
"Okay, it's my negligence. I admit that you are an equal to me. I apologize for my previous attitude."
As he said, the giant king Wudal slightly turned sideways to apologize, and at the same time took out a stone box and showed it to Chi Yao and Brother Wusan. There were three soul crystals (middle).
"This is the biggest advance payment I can give. As long as you find the crystal skull, I promise to give you a satisfactory reward!"
Then, the giant king Wudal began to simply tell the information about the crystal skull.
"Human, this is a secret of our giant clan. You must not tell anyone."
"The crystal skull is a sacred object of our giant clan. It can greatly enhance the mental strength of our giants and help develop the intelligence of young giants. It has always been managed by the clan leader. However, thirty years ago, our giant clan and the giant fire lizard clan launched a far-reaching decisive battle. The previous clan leader Wudagu, who is also my father, carried the crystal skull to fight the giant fire lizard king to the death, but in the end, he and the giant fire lizard king were missing. We can only assume that the clan leaders of both sides eventually died together."
"And on both sides After the tribe leaders died together, the decisive battle gradually stopped. Our giant tribe searched almost all the battlefields, but could not find any traces of tribe leader Wudagu and the crystal skull. "
"Except for the core of the territory where the giant fire lizard is located, we were unable to search it. However, the crystal skull itself does not emit any aura when it is not activated by our giant tribe with secret methods. It looks like an ordinary skull made of crystal. "
"So, the crystal skull is likely to be hidden somewhere in the territory of the giant fire lizard. "
"After listening to the explanation of the giant king Wuda, Chi Yao and Wusanxiong both showed speechless expressions.
Chi Yao looked at the giant king Wuda and said the following words expressionlessly.
"So, you still want us to sneak into the core of the giant fire lizard's territory and look for an ordinary crystal skull in an endless way?"
Looking at the giant king Wuda who nodded, Chi Yao was even more speechless and asked helplessly.
"Why can't you be completely sure of the location of the crystal skull? Didn't you say that this thing is a sacred object of your giants? Is there no way to sense it?"
The giant king Udar had an unnatural look on his face and scratched his hand.
"Well, there should be a way to sense the crystal skull, but my father disappeared before he taught me, and I don't know how to sense it."
"However, regarding this rift area, I can tell you about the feasible paths and key points to pay attention to."
After another round of questions and answers, Chi Yao and Wusanxiong failed to get any useful information from the giant king Udar, so they could only set off with the animal skin map.
According to the description of the giant king Udar, Chi Yao and Wusanxiong need to first enter the red soil area through the stone bridge, and then enter the rift from the side of the red soil area. This is the most stable route.
After setting off for a distance, the two were already far away from the stone house where the giant king was. Chi Yao was thoughtful, recalling and sorting out the information he had obtained.
In the confrontation where the negotiations broke down in the middle, Chi Yao confirmed one thing, which gave him the confidence to question strongly.
That is, the giant king Udar in front of him is indeed in a weak state. Udar's peak state is probably a hegemon-level creature like Bahamu, but even if Chi Yao cannot defeat Udar in a weak state, he can still escape by teleporting.
Originally, Chi Yao planned that if the negotiations broke down completely and he could not receive the hidden mission, he could simply try to kill the giant king Udar. Even if it was a hegemon-level creature in a weak state, the reward should not be underestimated.
However, the giant king Udar was quite sensible. He directly gave three soul crystals (middle) as compensation and provided the crystal skull information. Although this information was provided, it at least helped Chi Yao narrow the scope.
Recalling the description of the giant king Udar, Chi Yao narrowed his eyes slightly. Thirty years ago, the giants and the giant lizards fought a war, and the patriarchs of both sides died together. The giant patriarch lost the sacred crystal skull. The story told by Udar seemed to be fine, but there must be something strange in it.
Chi Yao felt that he seemed to have grasped some vague clues, but he could not confirm them. He could only put them aside for the time being and concentrate on his journey.
