The weird game of the ancient gods

"Householder, I brought you what you asked for."

Wang Li glanced at him, suddenly a little surprised, "You haven't read this book?"

Xia Yu shrugged, "No, I don't like reading very much. My head hurts when I read."

Wang Li looked at him in disbelief, with an incomprehensible expression. This was the first time Xia Yu saw such an expression on his face, and he felt a sense of accomplishment for a moment.

Wang Li took the book, flipped through a few pages casually, and then threw it aside, thoughtfully.

Xia Yu saw that he didn't care, and felt a little angry in his heart. You didn't care about feelings at all for the book that he had spent so much effort to get back.

"So my debt is all over?"

"That's right, you don't owe me anything anymore. See you in the next game."

Xia Yu suppressed his anger and said, "By the way, landlord, I have some information that I think I need to report to you. During this mission, I saw Feihu, and I discovered a big secret about Feihu. It turns out that ——”

"Are you saying that Feihu was sent by an organization to investigate my matter? I already know this."

"you know!"

"Yes, I knew Feihu's identity and purpose from the beginning, even though he tried very hard to hide it."

"Then why didn't you do something? And let him participate in the game? They want to study you and find out your identity..."

Wang Li said calmly: "Have you ever played with ants when you were a child?"

Xia Yu nodded, not knowing why Wang Li suddenly asked this question, "Of course I have played."

Wang Li picked up a cup of tea and blew on the tea leaves. "For ants, humans are undoubtedly god-like existences. When you throw them bugs and rice grains, or use a magnifying glass to burn them, or use a stick to destroy the ant nest, you will When the ant holes are filled with water, the ants will definitely be confused.

They will think, why does this god give them food, why does God punish them with fire from heaven and send floods, and what behavior of theirs angers this god? And what kind of behavior caused this god to give them gifts.

They will study you, want to know what you are thinking, and try to find out the patterns. There may even be ants who want to kill the 'god' in front of you, so tell me traveler, do you care about what these ants think? What? "

Xia Yu was stunned for a moment. Wang Li's meaning was undoubtedly very obvious. To him, whether it was him, Feihu, or the organization behind Feihu, they were undoubtedly just a group of ants in his eyes. Don't care what they think or what their purpose is.

This answer made him feel a little uncomfortable, but at the same time it felt natural. It even explained a question he had always had, why Wang Li wanted to take them to play this game.

Maybe it's like playing with ants, it's just fun.

Xia Yu felt helpless, his emotions were in vain, and he was speechless for a moment.

"By the way, homeowner, there's one more thing."

Xia Yu thought of the ominous black fog, and thought it would be better to speak out just in case.

"What's up?"

"When I went to take pictures of the book, I was intercepted. I had to go to a place called Forest Castle to get the book. There I met a weird creature..." Xia Yu summarized his experience. Tell a story.

Finally, he said, "I suspect that monster is the legendary Hound of Tindalos."

Wang Li nodded, "Yes, that's the Tindalos Hound, or rather, the creature that people named after the Tindalos Hound."

"On the way here, I seemed to have some hallucinations and saw a trace of black fog. I -"

"That's not a hallucination."

"Not a hallucination?"

"The Hounds of Tindalos, but I prefer to call them fog beasts, they are not so easy to kill, the ion cannon can only scare it away, and although the description in the book is not very detailed, there is one thing in the book It is true that once the hounds of Tindalos set their sights on their prey, they will stalk it and continue to hunt it, so usually those who are targeted will not escape death."

Xia Yu's heart tightened, he was really afraid of what might happen.

"Then the landlord, you will help me deal with it, right?"

Wang Li asked curiously, "Why should I help you?"

"But I got into trouble while working for you."

Wang Li suddenly laughed, "I have already said that this mission will not be reimbursed, whether it is money or trouble, so you can only handle this matter by yourself.

Of course, I am kind. Why not, I will help you deal with the hound, and you can do something for me later. "

Xia Yu was speechless, wondering if this was over yet.

He wouldn't be fooled this time. He gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, I think I can handle it myself."

"whatever."

Xia Yuxin said that I still don’t believe it. I am a god after all. I can kill a broken Tindalos hound in minutes. I went back to check the information quickly to see if there is any way to crack it. However, he just walked out of the door of the game cabin. , I saw a group of black smoke emerging out of thin air in front of my eyes, clearly visible under the sun, it just popped out without any scruples, and gradually formed a weird head.

It seemed like it was about to emerge from the ground.

Xia Yu's steps froze - and on the same day, this guy actually followed him.

Without saying a word, he turned around and ran away. As he ran back, he looked around. The smoke seemed to be far away, like a shadow, appearing in every corner, between the walls, and underground.

Xia Yu rushed into the game cabin, only here he could find safety.

"The landlord, the landlord, I——"

A cloud of smoke came out of a corner of the room.

Xia Yu felt that there was no need for words to explain.

"So what happened?"

"That, that monster!"

Wang Li glanced at the monster that was gradually emerging from the ceiling, but showed an interesting expression.

When the monster completely appeared in the room, the smile on the corner of Wang Li's mouth grew stronger and stronger.

Xia Yu glanced at Wang Li and then at the monster. He decisively hid behind Wang Li.

Although Wang Li said he wouldn't help him, he didn't say he couldn't use Wang Li as a shield.

The monster's gaze moved along with Xia Yu's movement, and finally landed on Wang Li who was blocking it.

The moment the monster pounced on him, Wang Li snapped his fingers and let out a roar. The smoky body of the hideous and terrifying monster dissipated, leaving only a small ball of its huge body, which shrunk into There was a lump of fleshy stuff. Xia Yu took a closer look and saw that it was actually a small puppy. It was about to pounce on it with its teeth and claws, but Wang Li grabbed the back of the neck and picked it up.

"Haha, it's interesting. This Forrester family can actually control fog beasts. It seems that even ants can sometimes surprise people."

As he spoke, he stroked the fur of the little puppy. The puppy was a little resistant at first, but soon began to snore comfortably.

Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally over.

"Thank you, the owner."

"Thank me for what I did. I just took a pet. Besides, the fog beast is a social animal. You don't think you only have one, right?"

Xia Yu's heart sank, it's not over yet.

"My proposal is still valid, traveler. As long as you do something for me, I will help you get rid of the other two."

"No, I'll handle it myself."

Xia Yu said, but thought in his heart, if it doesn't work, I can still run to you. At worst, I can just do it again.
