Chapter 495: Living Towards Death
The old man had a cane beside him. When he got closer, he discovered that the other man's trousers were empty and one of his legs had been broken.
The old man raised his head and looked at Xu Qingshui.
He looked at Xu Qingshui with an uncertain look on his face.
"How about...I praise you?"
Xu Qingshui was stunned.
Why is it different from what you imagined?
After you say your lines, shouldn't the other party be so moved that they take out the treasure to help you get through the difficulties?
The injured people also looked in Xu Qingshui's direction in confusion.
They had communicated with this old man before, trying to seek some information and help from such a native, but the other party was like an outsider and had no effect.
Everyone gave up after trying it.
And now Xu Qingshui is just doing what they have done before.
"It's useless, this old man is nothing."
"You can imagine, haven't we thought of it? We have tried it a long time ago."
"Don't waste your time, alas..."
Beside him, the strong man lying seriously injured and lying on the ground sighed helplessly.
When the old man heard what these people said, his eyebrows lowered and he stopped talking.
Xu Qingshui saw it and Qiyu said that there was something in this old man that could pass through the gray fog.
However, it seems that the other party is not prepared to give it to him?
Is it because... I'm too weak?
Xu Qingshui was thinking.
[Trigger adventure: you look at the indifferent old man]
[Adventure A: You know that there must be something in the opponent's body that can allow you to pass through the gray fog. You move your hands up and down, knowing that time waits for no one, and prepare to force yourself. You are killed by the opponent]
[Qiyu B: You looked at the old man and thought of the old indigenous man you met earlier. He had the power to sacrifice. You guessed that the sacrifice must be effective. You thought of what the old man said before, 'Even if the night is long and difficult, Ming, someone sacrificed his life to light a lamp. If you say this to the old man, it might have a miraculous effect]
Xu Qingshui's eyes flashed.
What a miraculous effect?
Could it be that after saying these words, he sacrificed himself?
He looked at the old man with some anxiety.
"Even if it is hard to see the light in the long night, I will sacrifice my life to light the lamp..."
Xu Qingshui said cautiously, taking a step back silently, staring at the old man intently.
As long as the situation is not right, he will run away immediately.
But when he saw the old man, he suddenly raised his head.
He looked at Xu Qingshui with a shocked expression.
Then, his face turned into endless pain and unwillingness.
"I...I can't do it! Their sacrifice, their sacrifice, is meaningless...I have failed everyone!"
As the old man spoke, he was already in tears, with tears streaming down his face.
Xu Qingshui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the old man's reaction.
Fortunately, I am not planning to sacrifice myself.
After calming down, he patted the old man on the shoulder.
"You have done your best, leave the rest to me."
Xu Qingshui said calmly.
Although the old man was very emotional at the moment, he was not really stupid.
He looked at Xu Qingshui, his expression became a little weird.
"You are too weak, you can't do it at all"
The old man shook his head, something he couldn't even do, let alone such a weak being in front of him.
Xu Qingshui was stunned, weren't you ready to give it to yourself?
"I'm ready to give everything I have"
After Xu Qingshui thought for a while, he took out the stone that the old man gave him when he met him before.
The old man was also stunned, obviously he recognized this thing.
The other party...has long been prepared to sacrifice everything.
Even such a weak person has such courage and determination.
And I am so decadent?
Do you despise the other person and think the other person is too weak?
Thinking of this, he felt heartache.
The sacrifices of so many people were prepared for people like them, but the sacrifices of those people did nothing.
Even if the opponent is weak, he still has the determination to fly into the flames.
"In that case, just go ahead."
As the old man spoke, he took out an oil lamp from behind his back.
Passed it into Xu Qingshui's hand.
Xu Qingshui looked at the oil lamp and felt a little thump in his heart.
Is this... corpse oil?
The corpse oil of the strong?
"This thing can make those Yin soldiers unable to get close, but that's all."
The old man said, more like a final warning.
In his opinion, if the other party goes to the fog, there is a high probability that he will not be able to come back.
"There are not just Yin soldiers inside..."
While speaking, he subconsciously looked at his legs.
"Understood"
Xu Qingshui nodded and took the oil lamp.
The old man stared at Xu Qingshui with burning eyes, but did not let go of the oil lamp in his hand.
"What you are going to is hell."
His eyes did not leave, looking at Xu Qingshui's face that was very close at hand.
It seemed to be testing Xu Qingshui's determination.
"Oh, then I'll go to hell for a while."
Xu Qingshui didn't care and smiled confidently.
Took the oil lamp.
Turning his head, he looked at Gray Mist, and walked towards Gray Mist step by step.
The old man looked at Xu Qingshui's back and was stunned for a moment, with tears shining in his eyes.
It was as if I saw myself when I was younger.
Even if Xu Qingshui showed the slightest hesitation, he would not hand over the oil lamp to such a person.
But Xu Qingshui was fearless.
Even if he knew that the road ahead was difficult, he still did not look back.
Now, a new lamp holder appeared.
Such a scene made everyone stunned.
Before, no matter how they tried, the old man did not react.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qingshui exploded the equipment with just a few words?
There is this thing! Why didn't he take it out earlier? !
Some people's eyes flickered, thinking about what Xu Qingshui said before.
Their previous conversation was also heard clearly by these people.
This oil lamp can resist the ghost soldiers.
If the gray fog comes at that time, with this oil lamp, there is hope of survival.
Xu Qingshui has found the standard answer, and he only needs to follow it.
Following suit, he has come to the old man.
"Even if the night is long and dark, I will risk my life to light the lamp!"
He spoke quickly and said to the old man.
"Okay, okay! You think I'm a fool, don't you?"
The old man was stunned at first, then he clapped his hands.
With a wave of his hand, the person who shouted the slogan instantly burned up.
While burning, a lamp was being lit.
The boiling oil dripped into the lamp.
"Take more, just in case!"
Soon, the lamp was filled up.
With a wave of his hand, the lamp floated towards Xu Qingshui.
Xu Qingshui felt something, looked back and took it out, and caught it steadily.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this.
That's not right!
Why didn't Xu Qingshui get into trouble, but the same slogan had a completely different ending?
It's unfair!
Why is the difference between people so big?
