After Li Te thought about it, he decided to cooperate with Tang Zhen, but he didn't feel very comfortable.
He had never thought that this situation would arise. The problem was that the situation forced him to make such a choice.
It is natural to feel humiliated in my heart.
If he doesn't do this, Tang Zhen will kill him. Death is not terrible, but the problem is that he will miss the opportunity that has been waiting for a thousand years.
Li Te couldn't afford the gamble. If that were the case, he would really die with his eyes open, and he would not be able to forgive himself for being a ghost.
Fortunately, he is very good at persuading himself. If you think about it from another angle, things may become completely different.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, there are only benefits to cooperating with Tang Zhen, and you can even get better results.
After all, he is a monk in Loucheng and knows the monks in Loucheng better. This is why many people hate traitors.
In Li Te's eyes, Tang Zhen has been regarded as a villain and traitor among the Loucheng monks, but this is better, after all, the enemy of the enemy is a friend.
With this idea in mind, Li Te looked at Tang Zhen more pleasantly, not as vicious as before.
When he thought of the heavy losses suffered by the monks in Loucheng, Li Te felt extremely relieved, and the suffocation accumulated in his chest seemed to disappear.
Thanks to the omnipotent God of Creation, there is such a black sheep among the monks in Loucheng, so that his great revenge can be avenged.
Tang Zhen saw the corners of Li Te's raised lips and vaguely guessed what he was thinking, but he sneered at this.
Traitor? It depends on the situation. This kind of competition among the Loucheng monks has nothing to do with rebellion.
After both parties decide to cooperate, they must first express their opinions and reveal some "secrets" in order to show sincerity.
Tang Zhen told Li Te some irrelevant information, but did not disclose any information about the competitive rankings.
But even so, Li Te was still amazed. He never dreamed that so many monks would come to Loucheng.
The Loucheng monks who occupied Tianxu City back then were just one of the waves, but even so, they still easily defeated the defenders of Tianxu City.
When he thought of his oath to wipe out all the Loucheng monks, Li Te felt bursts of shame and guilt.
This goal is too big and impossible to achieve, so it would be better to change it to an achievable goal.
In fact, after listening to Tang Zhen's introduction to the Loucheng monks, Li Te's heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness, and he always felt that everything he did was in vain.
It's like a giant paper beast, it looks powerful and fierce, but unfortunately it can be easily destroyed by water or fire.
Li Te now places his hope on Tang Zhen, hoping that he can become the sinews and bones of this paper giant beast, so that it can have matching lethality.
Tang Zhen learned from Li Te that he had accumulated a considerable amount of wealth in the past few years just so that he could use it one day.
He also left some back-up men in Tianxu City, so that after the fall of Tianxu City, he could die together with the monks in Loucheng.
There may be other arrangements, but there is no need to tell Tang Zhen everything. The relationship between the two parties is not yet stable. How can Li Te reveal all the secrets?
"By the way, I see you have a lot of books here. Do you have any maps collected?"
After listening to Li Te's story, Tang Zhen asked casually, but he didn't have much hope in his heart.
The various written materials Li Te collected were basically related to the Loucheng monks, so there was really no need to collect maps.
Unexpectedly, Li Te nodded and said that he did have a map, and there was more than one copy.
It turned out that when he was collecting various information, he also collected some maps. The purpose was to use the map information to find some information related to the monks and monsters in Loucheng.
He walked to a tin box and opened it, revealing a pile of items.
There are scrolls with primitive bindings, animal skins with frayed edges, and huge bone fragments of unknown material.
Tang Zhen picked up a map. It was made of animal skin. The surface was covered with imprinted patterns and was coated with a special dye. It looked full of ancient meaning.
"These are all maps. If you need them, it's okay to take them all. It's a gift from me."
Li Te had a generous expression, and he would never hesitate to use these useless items as favors.
In fact, these maps are not waste products, but are of very high value because they record the locations of many ancient villages and towns, which are extremely valuable to adventurers.
With these maps, they can search for ancient ruins and discover various lost treasures.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as this box map is taken to the market, it can be sold for a large sum of money.
It's just that this seemingly poor young man is actually not short of money. It's no exaggeration to say that he is the richest man in Tianxu City.
He did not indulge in pleasures and indulgences like ordinary people because he had already lived such a life. Twice, he even lost his life because of his status as a rich man.
What depressed him the most was that when he was reborn and ready to take revenge, all his enemies had died for various reasons, leaving him no chance to take revenge.
After experiencing such a life, the life of a rich man has no appeal to Li Te, and he would rather spend his life as an ordinary person.
This kind of life of ordinary people, who do not need to worry about money, is actually far more comfortable than that of rich people, who are free and carefree.
"I can't accept your gift in vain. In this case, I will also give you a gift."
Tang Zhen took out a domino from his pocket. It was engraved with a fine rune array and was also inlaid with a crystal, which exuded faint energy fluctuations.
With his cultivation being sealed, he naturally had to find other ways to improve his combat effectiveness. Fortunately, Tang Zhen was versatile and could easily solve this problem.
The domino given to Li Te was a piece of protective equipment that he tried to make in his spare time when he was making rune airships.
Similar things are sold in bulk in Shenglong City, and they have multiple functions and can be thrown out casually during battle.
Some Loucheng monks who are not short of money fill their storage equipment with such things, and throw them around as if they don't need money during battle.
Don't underestimate this tycoon-like fighting style. Not many enemies can withstand such an attack, and in many cases there are even no bones left.
Although Li Te did not have the qualifications to practice, his eyesight was definitely not weak, and he could still see the usefulness of this domino.
He also has similar things, but the quality is definitely not as good as dominoes, and he knows the value of such things very well.
To ordinary people, the items belonging to monks are treasures that can only be found but cannot be found. In many cases, they cannot be measured in terms of money.
"Haha, I didn't expect that one day, I would use the items belonging to the Loucheng monks to save my life."
Li Te sighed, his tone full of emotion.
"As long as we can achieve our goals, it doesn't matter."
Tang Zhen shook his head. It was through absorbing the gains of the war that Loucheng World became stronger.
There is nothing shameful in learning to use the enemy's methods. If you don't understand this, you can't even think about becoming truly powerful.
Now that these maps belonged to him, Tang Zhen stopped being polite and directly put his hand on the map.
Sure enough, the next moment, the patterns on the map disappeared out of thin air, and the blank map began to change in Tang Zhen's consciousness space.
Tang Zhen looked at the blank map with a hint of expectation in his heart. He wanted to see what kind of changes would happen after absorbing such a map?
