Facing the old lady's question, I subconsciously prepared to nod and admit it, because I am not good at lying.
But at this moment, I noticed that the old lady winked at me, and I immediately understood that the old lady was not prepared to let me admit it.
In fact, I also knew in my heart that as long as I denied that I had lost the bet, the bottle of black powder would definitely return to my hands, because I could see that even this mountain god would not dare to conflict with the old lady head-on.
I subconsciously glanced at the mountain god and found that he was looking at me eagerly. I could even see a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
He probably gave up, thinking that I wouldn't admit it.
But I didn't hesitate at all. I smiled slightly and nodded gently.
Even if this shameless old guy dug a hole for me to jump into, a loss is a loss.
My behavior made both of them stunned and looked at me in surprise.
"Xiao Yangzi, please think clearly, this thing is absolutely unique in the world!"
The mountain god's expression was extremely nervous, and the hand holding the glass bottle tightened slightly.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Old Fairy Lord, I know you are good for me. I would like to thank you first, but as a man, I am willing to accept defeat. If I lose, I lose. I can't do such shameless things!"
The two of them had different expressions when they heard what I said. The old lady looked regretful and a little helpless.
"Oh, what a pity, this old thing is so cheap!"
The old lady gave the mountain god a stern look, but when she looked at me again, there was a sense of comfort in her eyes.
"Sure enough, I read it right. You are an honest kid. I like my godmother!"
Being praised like this by the old lady made me feel very complicated.
From the day I met the old lady, my future was destined to be at least half a sad story.
On the other hand, the mountain god's eyes suddenly looked different when he looked at me. There was a little more brightness and a little more admiration in his eyes.
"Good boy, I'm a man enough to deal with this matter. I approve of you."
I rolled my eyes and thought to myself, do I need your approval?
"Don't do this to me. I'm not a three-year-old, so I can't be deceived so easily. You'd better explain what happened just now. What is your purpose?"
The mountain god suddenly laughed awkwardly, and just as he was about to explain, the ground beneath his feet shook violently again, and streams of turbulent earth vein energy spurted out from the cracks.
This time it was even more violent than before, and the entire mountain seemed to be shaking violently, as if there was an earthquake.
The strong vibration caused the mountain to collapse, and huge rocks were everywhere, rolling down the mountain, which immediately shocked me.
This kind of movement was much stronger than Erlongshan's reaction back then.
"What on earth did you do?" I asked the mountain god.
"If you ask me, who should I ask?"
Although he said this, his eyes fell on the old lady, and it was obvious that he wanted to blame the old lady.
Mrs. Ma looked at me with a smile on her face.
"Xiao Yangzi, don't be afraid, it's just a counterbalance between the yin and yang energy. This is the place where dragons and phoenixes are entrenched, where mountains and rivers are divided. It's normal to have strong earth energy. Unfortunately, although it has been suppressed for thousands of years, I just pulled it casually, and the culprit is still the thing in front of me."
As she spoke, she pointed at the thousand-year-old sycamore tree in front of us.
"It's been thousands of years, but I never thought you would wake up one day."
The old lady seemed to be talking to the thousand-year-old sycamore tree, or to herself.
I immediately laid my eyes on this thick thousand-year-old sycamore tree, and I was so surprised that I couldn't speak.
Although on the surface this thousand-year-old sycamore tree looks black and dead after being struck by lightning, the roots of the tree that I cut off in the tunnel were clearly full of vitality.
And looking at the entire mountain peak, apart from this thousand-year-old sycamore tree embraced by more than a dozen people, I really can't think of anything else that can take root in the underground fortress.
The violent shaking did not last long, and it stopped in just a few breaths. When my eyes swept across the mountains and rivers, I still couldn't help but open my mouth.
At this moment, several peaks of varying heights around him have become devastated, and many peaks have collapsed or cracked, especially the peak that was dug up by the little devil, with a loud rumbling sound.
, it actually collapsed completely.
The sinful underground fortress was buried in the valley forever.
This makes me secretly regret that the evidence of the kid's crime was buried like this.
Mrs. Ma slowly took steps and walked to my side.
"Xiao Yangzi, let's go and let the two of them fight to see who swallowed whom?"
"What do you mean?" I looked at the old lady in surprise.
"Don't you understand this? This old man wanted to use the soul control array to seize the power of the old Tong tree, but it's a pity that God's calculations failed and he missed the mark!"
The old lady looked at the mountain god gloatingly.
But the mountain god's expression became more solemn than ever before. His eyes were fixed on the thousand-year-old sycamore tree in front of him.
"I have been waiting for you for so many years, and you are finally willing to give up? Where will you run this time?"
Before I finished speaking, the mountain god suddenly plunged into the cracks in the ground under his feet and disappeared in front of me in an instant.
Only then did I realize that this was what this old guy had in mind!
I quickly walked to the crack under my feet, lowered my head and looked inside, but apart from feeling the impact of the energy from the earth veins, I couldn't see anything inside. It was as if the earth had opened a huge mouth.
It can push people down alive.
After hesitating for a moment, the old lady told me to leave quickly, and then she also jumped in.
Why did she go in?
While I was still dazed, I heard Hu Qiu greet me, and then ran to the other side of the thousand-year-old sycamore tree, which was the direction where we were fighting just now.
Only then did I realize, don't rush and ran up.
Rather than discussing the relationship between the mountain god and the thousand-year-old paulownia tree, seizing the time to dig up the phoenix flower is the right thing to do.
But when I ran over, Hu Qiu had already started digging the soil, and I quickly walked up to help.
The ghost-slaying sword pierced deeply into the soil under his feet, but made a crisp sound, as if it had struck something hard.
I stirred vigorously and peeled away the soil, only to find a transparent stone lying inside.
I reached out and took the stone off.
Hu Qiu's shocked voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"This, this isn't a diamond, is it?"
I was immediately startled by her words. Just as I was about to take a look, I suddenly felt a huge shadow cast down from above my head.
