Chapter 920: Gambling addiction
Xing Wuji looked at Duan Qing with a proud face: "What do you think, kid? Are you convinced?"
"Senior Xing is really a capable person. I am convinced!" Duan Qing said in admiration.
Although he was a little surprised, he didn't feel that much surprise.
In fact, he just questioned Xing Wuji, not because he really thought that Xing Wuji was in a worrying situation, but to test whether Xing Wuji had the ability to take him away.
Otherwise, even if he told Xing Wuji frankly, it would be a waste of words.
Judging from the means displayed by Xing Wuji, his previous words were still exaggerated, but it should not be a problem to take him away from the primitive wasteland.
Seeing Duan Qing surrender, Xing Wuji was secretly happy.
He is like this. As long as he can have fun, he never cares about the size of the matter or the seniority.
Even if he is a mortal, as long as he is interested, he can also have fun.
"Tell me, kid, why do those long-legged beasts outside want to chase you?" Xing Wuji said with interest.
Duan Qing pondered for a moment and asked, "If I tell you, will you promise to take me out of the primitive wasteland?"
Xing Wuji waved his hand impatiently, "If Grandpa Xing is happy to hear it, he will not treat you badly."
"Don't talk nonsense, if you drag Grandpa Xing again, I'm leaving!"
Duan Qing frowned slightly and sighed helplessly, "Do you know the source beast?"
"What do you think! Your Grandpa Xing came to this destiny star earlier than Meng Tuzi!" Xing Wuji was full of disdain.
Duan Qing nodded, not surprised at all.
"Then the senior must know that there is a source beast in this primitive wasteland."
"According to my guess, the reason why those large eight-legged eagles came to chase me was probably because of the source beast's instructions."
"As for why I was targeted by the source beast, it might be because of the source beast's aura on me."
Next, Duan Qing simply told Xing Wuji about how he killed a source beast by chance in the wasteland of Yunzhou and merged the source pill, omitting many processes.
Although this matter was a huge secret of his, in order to get close to Xing Wuji, he could only tell Xing Wuji about it.
Meng Zhuang had also spied on the matter of the source pill with the secret technique of heaven, but he did not show any intention of coveting it.
Xing Wuji, like Meng Zhuang, was a true spirit, so I don't think he would have any idea about the source pill.
After listening to Duan Qing, Xing Wuji widened his eyes, looked at Duan Qing carefully, and said in surprise: "Your chance is really great!"
"You can get such a rare thing as Yuandan. No wonder Meng Tuzi insisted that you go find the real dragon fruit!"
"This is interesting. No wonder those beasts are staring at you."
Duan Qing didn't say anything, but just smiled bitterly.
Except for the reason that he merged with Yuandan, he couldn't think of a second possibility.
The source beast is the master of the wasteland and is extremely rare.
As far as he knows, among all the wastelands in the Middle Earth, there is only one source beast in the primitive wasteland.
If he is the source beast in the primitive wasteland and senses the breath of the same kind, no matter what the purpose is, he will definitely not be indifferent.
Of course, he doesn't think that the source beast sent those large eight-legged eagles to chase him in order to recognize him as a relative.
On the contrary, he subconsciously feels that the move of the source beast in the primitive wasteland is obviously full of malice!
Because in essence, he is not a source beast, but just merged with the inner elixir of the source beast by chance.
He is not of the same race, so how could he have good intentions towards him.
At this time, Xing Wuji seemed to think of something interesting, and a malicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Boy, how about we take the initiative to attack, and Grandpa Xing will take you to find the source beast and recognize you as a relative?"
Recognize!
Duan Qing stood there in a daze.
Then, he smiled bitterly and said, "Haha, senior, don't joke. This source beast has controlled the primitive wasteland for countless years, and even the Taihuang Sect can't do anything about it!"
"If we deliver it to the door, even if there are seniors to support it, I'm afraid it will be a one-way trip!"
Xing Wuji's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Boy, since you don't believe that Grandpa Xing has this ability, how about we make a bet?"
"Let's bet on who is stronger between you and the source beast!"
Duan Qing said so much, it would be a pity if he didn't bet on him.
Moreover, Duan Qing had won him once in the Endless Sea. Now that he had such a godsend opportunity, he naturally had to get back at him.
Seeing Xing Wuji like this, Duan Qing was speechless.
He had forgotten that Xing Wuji was addicted to gambling!
To be honest, if he was not trapped now, he would not mind gambling with Xing Wuji, because he did not think that Xing Wuji could defeat the source beast in the primitive wasteland.
If the source beast was really that easy to deal with, the Taihuang Sect would have eliminated the source beast and cleared the primitive wasteland.
Although Xing Wuji was a true spirit and proficient in the way of space, he could not be compared with the power of the Taihuang Sect.
But this was just his speculation after all, and he was not sure.
He was trapped in the primitive wasteland, and it was a matter of life and death. How could he play it so lightly and take risks with his own life?
Thinking of this, Duan Qing shook his head firmly and said, "I have no intention of making a bet with you, senior!"
Xing Wuji was in high spirits, how could he let Duan Qing back down like this.
He sneered, "Haha, if you don't make this bet, Grandpa Xing will leave you here to die!"
"Senior, are you going to go back on your word?" Duan Qing's face suddenly changed.
Xing Wuji clasped his hands together and teased, "Grandpa Xing didn't say that he would definitely take you away."
"Boy, Grandpa Xing is telling you today. If you don't play a bet with Grandpa Xing, don't even think about Grandpa Xing saving you!"
Duan Qing frowned and was speechless for a moment.
Xing Wuji is really a jerk!
Now he finally understood why his master Mu Yu and others trapped Xing Wuji in the Endless Sea.
He really didn't want to accept this bet.
If Xing Wuji fights against the source beast in the primitive wasteland, it won't be a good thing for him regardless of winning or losing.
If Xing Wuji wins the source beast, he will naturally win the bet with him. He will definitely lose something, needless to say.
On the contrary, if Xing Wuji loses to the source beast, if he can get away, he still has a chance of survival.
But if Xing Wuji is killed by the source beast, what's the use of winning the bet with Xing Wuji?
Without Xing Wuji's protection, he will be hunted down by the source beast alone in the wasteland, and there is no way he can survive!
The risk here is too great!
Thinking of this, Duan Qing said bitterly: "Senior Xing, can you change the bet to something else?"
Xing Wuji shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, let's bet on this. How can we change the things that Grandpa Xing has made up our minds!"
Xing Wuji's stubbornness made Duan Qing feel overwhelmed.
He was about to refuse Xing Wuji again, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and changed his words temporarily: "If the senior insists on betting, it's not impossible!"
"However, I have two conditions, and I hope Senior Xing will agree."
