I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

"We've been walking for so long, and yet we don't seem to have met each other much." Finally, the leading bear demon took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Gu Xiu, introducing himself as he did so: "We brothers are ranked one, two, three, four, and five. My name is Big Bear, and we're all from the War Bear Clan. What's your name, little brother?"

"Watching chess talk, Taihang Academy." Gu Xiu answered gently.

Big Bear narrowed his eyes:

"Taihang Academy?"

"That's not right."

"I heard that the academy is full of sober scholars who study all day long. Although they are highly accomplished, most of them are not good at physical strength. But from my observation, my brother, your physical strength seems to be no worse than ours."

Several bear monsters nearby also nodded quickly:

"Yes, I've dealt with people from Taihang Academy before. They're all weak scholars who can barely lift a finger. Climbing this long ladder would have exhausted them. But you don't seem to feel tired at all."

"Is there some secret method?"

"It could also be a secret treasure. I heard that your race is best at refining magic weapons, and many of them have miraculous effects. You must have used some magic weapon, right?"

Several bear monsters spoke up one after another.

Although they seemed to be just curious, their attempt to gather information was still somewhat clumsy. How could Gu Xiu not see that they couldn't help but want to find out more information? He smiled slightly:

"It was a fluke. I was actually exhausted a long time ago, but I was just holding on. To be honest, if it weren't for the blood beads given to me by the five bear brothers, I would have given up long ago."

talking.

Gu Xiu even deliberately showed an expression of fatigue.

only……

Gu Xiu didn't believe that they were sincere, and it was impossible for the five bear monsters to be fooled by Gu Xiu's performance. They had observed Gu Xiu all the way before, and they really thought that this guy was just an ordinary person, and they would take action after reaching the 5,000th floor.

The result was unexpected.

The more they looked, the less they could figure out where this guy came from.

For Gu Xiu, he had spent all his time studying the blood bead, but for the five bear monsters, they put all their attention on observing Gu Xiu. They thought that this kid would be suffocated after climbing for a while.

But I didn't expect it.

Along the way, Gu Xiu remained silent. No matter they suddenly accelerated and rushed forward, or suddenly slowed down and dragged their feet, Gu Xiu always followed behind them, always keeping a distance from them. After the final struggle, the five bull monsters were exhausted.

On the other hand, Gu Xiu's face was not red and he was not out of breath. Even now, when he pretended to be tired, it looked very fake.

Can……

He is a human cultivator!

Human cultivators are not known for their physical strength. It is impossible to say that this kid's physical strength is stronger than that of the war bear tribe, right?

Even if you have a bloodline bead, you still have to spend your own cultivation to obtain it.

and so.

There is only one possibility, that is, this guy has methods that they don't know about.

Either a magic weapon or a secret technique.

No matter which one it is, it is extremely attractive to the five bear monsters. They even want to take action now and capture Gu Xiu and take away all his methods.

Can……

After hesitating for a long time, the five bear monsters still did not dare to take action.

They are a little hesitant to gamble.

In desperation, the five bear monsters looked at each other for a while, and then had to give up their actions.

As I said, they were just trying to make money. If they lost their lives for the sake of money, it would not be worth it. So after discussing for a while, the five bull monsters decided to continue observing. Although they were getting closer and closer to the wooden house on the 40,000th floor, they still did not dare to take the risk before they saw Gu Xiu's methods.

but.

Some temptation is still necessary.

In the following time, the five bear monsters began to try every possible way to test.

They tried to speed up, but Gu Xiu was always able to keep up. No matter how fast they quickened their pace, they could not get rid of each other at all. They even reached their limit. Turning around, they saw Gu Xiu still grunting and looking extremely exhausted. But if you look closely, you will find that his expression has not changed at all from before, giving people a feeling of ease.

"What kind of monster is this?"

"I have no idea what his strength is."

"I don't know why, but when I faced him, I felt completely powerless. For a moment, I even felt like he wasn't a human cultivator, but an extremely powerful one, perhaps even a descendant of the top demon races."

"If we really want to take action against such a terrifying existence, I think we should just forget it, right?"

"..."

The unknown is always scary, especially when facing a monster like Gu Xiu who has absolutely no flaws. These bear monsters, who wanted to crush him at will from the beginning, gradually became afraid and even wanted to turn around and run away.

no way.

No matter what means they used to test, they could not test the true strength of the human cultivator in front of them. On the contrary, the more they observed, the more creepy they felt.

at last.

When they were only a thousand steps away from the forty thousand stone steps, Big Breast couldn't help herself and spoke first: "Brother Guan, with your strength, I'm sure you can make it all the way up on your own even without our help, right?"

"Brother Xiong, why do you say that?" Gu Xiu wiped his sweat off his forehead and said with a look of exhaustion that couldn't be more fake: "If it weren't for the help of your bloodline beads, I would have been crushed by the pressure here long ago. Brother Xiong, you think too highly of me."

"Overestimating me?" Xiong Da shook his head. "I'm afraid not. I'm sure you, Brother Guan, are one of the most distinguished among the cultivators of your race. Why are you teasing us?"

He was convinced.

He really couldn't help but accept it. The strength of the human cultivator in front of him had long exceeded his cognition. At least when facing the pressure of the Xuanwu Secret Realm, the other party did not seem to be struggling at all. Even when he looked at the other party, he couldn't help but think of a human idiom in his mind.

Like walking on flat ground!

Yes, it's as easy as walking on flat ground.

The opponent did not show any signs of fatigue from beginning to end. Although he always looked like he was about to give up, his expression did not change at all. It seemed that these stone steps were full of danger, which even their demon tribe and war bear tribe were extremely afraid of. To him, they were just a small path across the doorstep.

They can't afford to offend such people.

"Brother Xiong, you're too modest. Your bloodline beads are extremely useful to me." Gu Xiu smiled slightly and said meaningfully, "If it weren't for your bloodline beads, I definitely wouldn't be so relaxed. It's a pity that your bloodline beads are too monotonous."

Ok?

Xiong Da's eyelids twitched, and he vaguely felt that there was something else behind Gu Xiu's words.

Sure enough, Gu Xiu said again, "Actually, I'm quite interested in your Bloodline Pearl. If I could get one from another demon race, I'd be much more relaxed. It's just a shame that I'm a human after all, and I'm naturally resistant to you demons. Even if I wanted a Bloodline Pearl, I'm afraid it would be very difficult."

"Brother Guan, are you interested in this bloodline bead?" Xiong Da understood and couldn't help asking.

"I'm really interested. What's the matter, Brother Xiong? Do you have any ideas?" Gu Xiu asked with a smile.

"Well..." Big Bear looked at the other person seriously and said, "Of course there is a way. Although the bloodline beads are hard to find, they are not difficult to obtain. If my War Bear Clan steps in, it will be a little troublesome, but it won't be too difficult."

"Oh?" Gu Xiu's eyes lit up. "Then if I ask Brother Xiong to help me get some blood beads, would you refuse?"

Xiong Dao asked, "That depends on how much Brother Gu wants it."

"Ten thousand."

Gu Xiu replied directly: "To obtain a bloodline bead, 10,000 spirit stones are required. If the bloodline is pure or the quantity is sufficient, adding a little on top of that is not too difficult."

"If it's just 10,000 spirit stones, it might be a bit complicated." Xiong Da pretended to be embarrassed.

"Ten thousand spirit stones are for the other party." Gu Xiu seemed very sensible and said with a smile: "The remaining twenty thousand spirit stones are the reward for the person who helped me."

"But..." Xiong Da was still a little hesitant.

But this time, Gu Xiu said directly: "Of course, I hate forcing others. If Brother Xiong feels embarrassed, I can find someone else and will definitely not put Brother Xiong in a dilemma."

After these words were spoken, Xiong Da could no longer sit still.

What the hell?

Such a good opportunity, you want to give it to someone else?

Just as Gu Xiu expected, the blood bead that was extremely precious to him was actually not that precious to the demon clan. After all, it only temporarily consumed one's own strength and could be recovered quickly. However, it could be directly exchanged for a large amount of spirit stones. No matter how you looked at it, this was a rare opportunity.

Not to mention.

The human cultivator in front of him seemed to want to leave this matter to him.

What does that mean?

That means that he can take this opportunity to earn a large amount of spirit stones, even an amount beyond imagination.

After all, except for those extremely special clans, most demon clans have as many blood beads as they want.

"and many more!"

"I'll do it!"

Seeing Gu Xiu's hesitation, the leader of the bear monsters finally couldn't help but say:

"See if fellow Daoist is sincere."

"Then we, the War Bear Clan, are willing to take care of this matter!"
