"Don't be nervous. Since I invited you here, I won't hurt you."
The voice was low but elegant, and the language used turned out to be the standard human language in the ten directions.
Qu Wuming was hesitant for a moment, not knowing how to address the Queen of the Zerg, so he could only salute the crystal coffin from afar, cupped his hands and said, "I, Qu Wuming, have met Her Majesty the Queen!"
"The fact that you can come to this underground world is enough to prove your strength." The woman in red in the crystal coffin remained motionless, but her voice still echoed throughout the space, "You should also be here to find the soul-suppressing crystal.
Right?"
Qu Wuming looked at the huge yellow crystals behind the crystal coffin, nodded and answered truthfully: "Yes. I wonder if Her Majesty the Queen can lend a soul-soothing crystal? It doesn't need to be too big, it only needs to be more than a foot long. If
If Her Majesty the Queen has any materials, items, or spiritual stones that she wants to trade, we can discuss them."
"I like to make deals with people who are as cheerful as you." The woman in red said, "I can give you a piece of soul-soothing crystal, but there is a condition. I hope you can think it over carefully before making a decision."
Qu Wuming nodded and said: "As long as there are conditions, it can be discussed. Please tell me!"
"If I tell you, if you can do it and do it well enough, then you can choose the Soul-Calming Crystal next to me. But if you can't do it, or fail, it is very likely that you will lose it because of this transaction.
Life. Would you still consider this situation?"
Qu Wuming didn't know what the Zerg Queen meant. He frowned and asked: "Your Majesty, what did you say?"
What exactly is this deal? You might as well say it directly. If Qu is capable of it, he is still willing to give it a try."
"Sorry, I think I didn't explain it clearly just now." The woman in red replied, "My transaction condition is that you need to follow my guidance to a place that is filled with some evil and violent creatures."
Before the woman in red finished speaking, an oval-shaped light curtain appeared out of thin air directly above the crystal coffin. Waves of light flashed in the light curtain, and a very strange world emerged.
The surroundings were hazy, with a faint black mist everywhere.
In the black mist, there seemed to be some strange-looking creatures wandering around vaguely.
Some of those creatures are covered with spikes, some are covered with scales, some have sharp horns on their heads, and some have heads with several sharp mouths and fangs... And the eyes of these creatures, without exception, are all
They are pale eyes.
"What I need you to do is to do your best to kill those creatures - no matter how you kill them, and bring back the Yuan Dan condensed in their bodies - when you come back, I will
You will be rewarded accordingly based on the quantity and quality of the Yuan Dan you bring back."
"However, there may be some very powerful beings among those creatures. If you are unfortunate enough to encounter them, you may not be able to come back alive."
"So, you have to think carefully about whether you want to make this deal with me." The voice of the woman in red said calmly, "If you cherish your life, I can let my child send you back to the ground. It's just that
, if you have the opportunity to come back here in the future
, we would not have such a friendly dialogue like now."
Qu Wuming was a little surprised by the vague terms of the transaction of the woman in red. What kind of place, what kind of evil and violent creatures, if they are going to a secret place to hunt monsters, use their demon pills in exchange for suppressing them.
As for soul crystals, this transaction seems to be quite normal.
But then I thought about it, with the strength of the Zerg Queen whose cultivation was completely unknown to me, if she wanted to hunt some monsters, why not do it on her own?
I'm afraid this transaction is not that simple.
However, there was no way out at this time. If he had known that there would be such a battle in this insect nest, and that there would be such an unfathomable insect king inside, Qu Wuming would not have followed even if he were killed. Although
The Zerg queen was very polite in her words, but Qu Wuming knew that if he really refused to trade, it would be difficult for him to get out of here smoothly.
Although there was no telling who would kill him if he actually took action, Qu Wuming had an intuition that it would be best if he could avoid conflict with this mysterious Queen of the Insects.
"I have a question. I wonder if Her Majesty the Queen can help me clarify it?" Qu Wuming asked.
"Huh? What's the problem?"
"Can you tell me why Her Majesty the Queen needs me to kill these creatures? Instead of doing it myself, or... let them fight for Her Majesty?"
"Because there is a restriction set by the Great Power in that place. Only you humans can set foot there, and we, the Immortal Mole Clan, cannot enter." The woman in red did not hide anything, and answered truthfully, "And the Yuan Dan of those creatures is very harmful to us Immortals.
The whole family is very useful, so
, every time a human race with extraordinary cultivation intrudes into our territory, I will ask them to help me collect Yuan Dan."
"To tell you the truth, the soul-suppressing crystals that have been drifting to your Eastern Continent for countless years all came from here."
"I have a secret technique that can transport you to that place. If you want to return here, or encounter a strange beast that is difficult to defeat, just crush the crystal talisman I gave you, and you will be transported within three breaths.
return."
As he spoke, a red crystal stone about an inch long flew over from the crystal coffin and floated next to Qu Wuming.
"Now, you can tell me whether you want to make this deal or not." The woman in red's voice sounded again, her calm voice without any ripples, as if she didn't care whether Qu Wuming would accept or reject.
Of course, it is also possible that he knew that Qu Wuming would never refuse.
After all, she knew very well what the soul-suppressing crystal meant to these human races from the Shifang Realm.
"I accept the deal." Qu Wuming raised his hand and grabbed the red crystal in his hand, "But I also hope that Her Majesty the Queen can keep her promise and deliver the Soul Calming Crystal to me after I retrieve enough Yuan Dan.
And let me go in peace."
"Hehehehe... That's natural. The promises of our Immortal Mole Clan have always been true to our word." The voice of the woman in red came, "If you have the ability to take out enough Yuan Dan, you will be our Immortal Mole Clan's promise."
distinguished guest!"
"Okay. In that case, I trust Her Majesty the Queen." Qu Wuming clasped his fists and said, "Then please help Her Majesty the Queen cast a spell and send me there!"
"Okay! I wish you all the best over there!"
Before the woman in red finished speaking, she
A spherical magic circle suddenly appeared around Wuming, and with just a buzz, Qu Wuming was firmly covered in the middle...
