Chapter 107 The Old Man
"I..." Qi Xia suddenly took a step back, only to find that this scene seemed familiar.
"I lost it!"
Qiao Jiajin was also shocked. The two of them had just been here for less than a minute. Where did this old man come from?
Why would he stand quietly behind Qi Xia?
"Young man, you really can't mess with Tianlong!" The old man showed his only remaining tooth and stretched out his withered arm to grab Qi Xia, "Betting on your life... Even if you bet on your life, you may not be able to do it..."
Qiao Jiajin was about to step forward to stop him, but Qi Xia pulled him back.
"Wait a minute, I want to talk to him."
He pulled Qiao Jiajin aside and reached out to grab the old man.
The two held each other's arms like two friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"Old man, do you know me?" Qi Xia asked.
After hearing this, the old man was slightly startled and almost burst into tears.
He grabbed Qi Xia's hand and kept exerting force, causing Qi Xia's pain.
"You are willing to talk to me... That's great... I can wait..." the old man said tremblingly, "Even if it all starts over again, I can wait... You can destroy this damn place right away. Free us all..."
The old man seemed to be quite crazy, so Qi Xia could only follow his words and ask further questions.
"Liberate everyone?" Qi Xia asked, "What does 'liberate' mean?"
"We are trapped here!!" the old man wailed, "Someone lied... someone told a big lie!! He fooled everyone!!"
"Old man, please calm down first." Qi Xia let go of the old man's hand and grabbed his shoulders, trying to calm him down. "Who tricked us? What lie did he tell?"
"yes……"
Just as the old man was about to speak, a burst of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.
\u003c/di\u003e
\u003e
Qi Xia heard thunder for the first time here. He suddenly raised his head, only to find that there was not even a cloud in the sky.
Since there are no clouds, how can there be thunder?
"I can't say..." The old man lowered his head in fear and his voice became very small, "I will die if I say it..."
will die?
"Okay, let's change the question." Qi Xia continued to ask, "You said we are trapped here, what do you mean?"
The old man raised his head, with a frightened look on his face but said in a serious tone: "Young man, no one can get out... You can't get out even if you die... Life or death, death or life..."
"Why can't we get out?" Qi Xia asked, "Even if we collect enough "Tao", we still can't get out?"
"Tao?" The old man was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and stared at Qi Xia doubtfully, and asked, "What is Tao?"
What is "Tao"?
Qi Xia never thought that the old man would ask this question.
He kept asking Qi Xia to "bet his life", but in the end he didn't know what "Tao" was?
"Tao is..." Qi Xia touched his pocket and found that there was no "Tao" on him. The four pills Renlong gave him before were all on Officer Li.
So he could only describe the appearance of "Tao" and said: "It is a small yellow-white ball, the size of a walnut, shiny. That thing is our "chip" for participating in the game. It is said that we have collected 3,600 One can get out."
"Three thousand... six hundred "Tao"?" The old man's eyes gradually became confused, "So that's it... Even if this place has turned into such a terrible state, he still remembers what the master said...
…”
"'Master'?" Qi Xia was stunned, "Who is the 'Master'?"
"I can't say." The old man replied decisively, "The questions you ask me here will kill me."
Qi Xia felt that the identity of the old man in front of him was extraordinary.
He definitely retains his previous memories.
His memory may be longer than anyone else's, and it may be of great help at critical moments.
"Old man, do you want to come with me?" Qi Xia asked again, "We have something to eat there. Are you hungry?"
The old man looked as skinny as a stick, and the skin on his face was covered with cracked wrinkles like dead tree bark. He must have not eaten for a long time.
"Eat...don't be stupid, I don't need to eat at all." The old man's face darkened, and he looked very disappointed, "You actually invited me to eat...what a big joke..."
"Don't need to eat?" .🅆.
Qi Xia thought about it carefully and realized that what the old man said was not unreasonable. It didn't matter even if they starved to death in the "End Land", they naturally didn't need to eat.
Qiao Jiajin looked at the old man for a long time and sighed helplessly.
"Liar, he's obviously a lunatic, how can you still talk to him for so long?"
Before Qi Xia could reply, the old man looked at Qiao Jiajin.
He approached Qiao Jiajin step by step, forcing him to retreat step by step.
"Hey, hey, hey..." Qiao Jiajin was obviously a little flustered, "I don't hit young people or women, please don't mess around..."
The old man ignored Qiao Jiajin and grabbed the other person's wrist.
"You..." Qiao Jiajin pulled his hand back, but couldn't move it at all, "I'm throwing... what kind of strength are you doing? Are you Lian Jiazi?"
\u003cb
\u003c/di\u003e
r\u003e "Qiao Jiajin..." the old man held his hand and said slowly, "Why don't you remember me? Qi Xia remembers me, but you don't recognize me?"
Qi Xia slowly narrowed his eyes. This old man really knew them.
"Huh?" Qiao Jiajin was stunned. He had never dealt with a madman in his life and looked very nervous. "How do I get to know you? Are you related to me?"
The old man didn't speak. He held Qiao Jiajin's wrist and was silent for a long time. He nodded thoughtfully: "I see... the last time you died before "Echo"..."
"What's the echo? Echo..." Qiao Jiajin said a little rudely, "You're making my head buzz now. If you don't let go, I'm really going to hit someone!"
The old man suddenly let go of his hand, and Qiao Jiajin suddenly lost strength and took a step back.
"You have to protect Qi Xia." The old man said slowly, "If we want to liberate everyone, we still need to rely on your power."
After the old man finished speaking, he fell silent and slowly lowered his head in thought.
Qi Xia took a step forward and said, "Old man, are you really not going back with us? I still have many things I want to ask you."
"No." The old man nodded, "You don't need to look for me, just wait for me to come to you."
"This..." Qi Xia looked at him with some embarrassment. This old man seemed to be hiding some big secret in his heart. This secret made him look painful. "Okay, can I know your name?"
The old man took a few steps back and said, "I don't have a name, but here, they all call me 'White Tiger'."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's body suddenly floated up and then disappeared in the air.
He didn't fly away like in martial arts movies, nor did he use magic like in fantasy movies. He just disappeared in the air.
