817 Benefits Coming To His Door (2)
Zhou Shu remained calm and waited to see what Tang Tang wanted to do.
Tang Tang paced back and forth. After fifteen minutes, he suddenly stopped and looked at Yao Buqi solemnly. “If I give you a batch of forging materials, are you sure you can find Zhou Shu for me?”
“I can’t guarantee that,” Yao Buqi said sincerely. “I can only say that I’ll try my best. As for success, it will depend on luck.
“Lord, may I ask why you’re looking for King Zhou? If you want to kill him, with all due respect, I’m afraid it won’t be that easy.”
Tang Tang said coldly, “This has nothing to do with you. You just have to find him.”
“Lord, although it has nothing to do with me, if I know your goal, I will be more targeted when setting up the trap to lure out King Zhou. It will more or less help you, don’t you think?” Yao Buqi said sincerely.
Tang Tang thought for a moment and nodded. “What you said makes sense. Let me tell you, I’m not seeking him to kill him.
“I want to catch him and make him work for me!”
“You want to capture King Zhou alive and make him work for you?” Yao Buqi said in surprise.
He wished he could give Tang Tang a thumbs-up. This human is really daring.
How capable are you to dare to think of capturing King Zhou alive and making him work for you?
Back then, there were so many Demon Kings and demonic beast soldiers in the Demon Realm, but they never caught King Zhou. What right do you have?
He sized up Tang Tang. This person’s cultivation level was definitely higher than his, but it was not necessarily that much higher. At least in Yao Buqi’s eyes, he shouldn’t be as powerful as Demon King Ao.
What is that human saying? A frog at the bottom of a well doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!
“Zhou Shu is a forger. I will lead an army to crusade against the Demon Realm, and the soldiers under me need connate divine weapons,” Tang Tang said. “If Zhou Shu falls into the hands of the family head, he will only die. After thinking about it, I thought that if I caught him in advance, I could lock him up and let him forge connate divine weapons for my army!”
Yao Buqi rolled his eyes inwardly.
Zhou Shu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Lu Wenshuang gritted her teeth and wished she could immediately raise her sword and cut Tang Tang into pieces.
Although she knew that it was impossible for Tang Tang to do it, she couldn’t let him insult her master and man!
Zhou Shu held Lu Wenshuang’s hand, afraid that she would expose her identity if she rushed out on impulse.
Tang Tang was not smart. If she rushed out to bicker with him, she would only anger herself.
“Good idea, Lord,” Yao Buqi said with admiration. “In that case, we have to make arrangements for the purpose of capturing King Zhou alive.”
“You can make the arrangements. I still have to return to the front line,” Tang Tang said. “I can provide you with five hundred thousand kilograms of forging materials. As long as you can help me lure Zhou Shu out, I will reward you with a connate divine weapon!”
Yao Buqi rolled his eyes inwardly. What kind of person is this? He’s too stupid.
Using a connate divine weapon to tempt a demonic beast, doesn’t he know that demonic beasts don’t use divine weapons?
Even though I’m not an ordinary demonic beast and know how to use divine weapons, I have the Two Region Mountain. Why would I care about a connate divine weapon?
You might as well reward me with a few beauties.
Yao Buqi cursed silently, but he pretended to be grateful. “Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord!
“But Lord, I have to stay in this grotto-heaven to mine. If I set up a trap to lure King Zhou out, I definitely can’t do it here.
“Why don’t you wait a few days for me to complete my mining task before I help you set up the trap?”
“You can’t finish mining in a day or two. No one is watching you anyway. In a few days, I’ll prepare the forging materials, and then I’ll come and take you out. When I catch Zhou Shu, you can come back and continue mining,” Tang Tang said.
Yao Buqi was overjoyed. He was just worrying about how to leave this grotto-heaven in the future when this person came knocking on his door to offer him a solution.
But this way, he would have to work hard to mine for the next few days. He couldn’t just leave with so few ores. It would be a waste of this opportunity.
Watching Tang Tang leave, Yao Buqi looked at Zhou Shu on the Two Region Mountain.
“Do as you see fit.” Zhou Shu pulled Lu Wenshuang into the cave.
Seeing Zhou Shu’s attitude, Yao Buqi knew what to do.
He growled, and the aura of a Great Demon erupted from his body. He burrowed into the mine and started mining violently.
Back then, on the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield, Yao Buqi had indeed been the leader of the miners. He was already familiar with how to mine.
Although he had no subordinates now, he was already a Great Demon.
The speed at which a Great Cemon could mine was definitely not something ordinary individuals could compare to.
With a swipe of his claw, countless pieces of ore were dug out. With almost every breath, several kilograms of ore were dug out. He was so efficient that he was even faster than hundreds of ordinary miners.
Yao Buqi was mining while Zhou Shu continued to forge.
But this was the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven after all, so he didn’t relax too much. After a while, he would come out and transfer the ore that Yao Buqi had dug out to the grotto-heaven fragment.
If Zhou Shu’s cultivation was at the Grotto-Heaven realm, he could even move entire mines into his grotto-heaven.
But he was not at the Grotto-Heaven realm now, and the grotto-heaven fragment couldn’t withstand too much clamor. Therefore, he could only settle for the next best thing. He would let Yao Buqi dig out the ore and then transfer it to the grotto-heaven fragment.
In order to avoid being discovered by the people of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, Zhou Shu would leave some ore outside.
But it was obvious that he was thinking too much. Ever since Yao Buqi was brought here, no one from the Tang family had come here.
He didn’t know if Tang Qianluo didn’t take the mining matter to heart or if there was something else holding him back.
It was a good thing for Zhou Shu and Yao Buqi that no one came. They could completely do whatever they wanted here.
This situation lasted for seven days, until one day, Tang Tang came here again.
He clearly had the task of guarding the front line, but he secretly ran back to the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. He completely disregarded the military regulations.
In the Ten Nations’ armies, people like him would probably be punished according to military law.
Yao Buqi crawled out of the mine and asked Tang Tang, “Lord, are you ready?”
“Ready. We can go now,” Tang Tang said solemnly. “Let me tell you, five hundred thousand kilograms of forging materials is not a small amount. You must watch carefully. Whether you can catch Zhou Shu or not, you must not lose these five hundred thousand kilograms of forging materials. Do you understand?”
Tang Tang looked a little nervous.
Yao Buqi didn’t understand, but Zhou Shu could tell that something was wrong.
After he, Ji Lutian, and Zheng Chengan stole from the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven last time, Tang Qianluo had taken out 500,000 kilograms of forging materials. How could Tang Tang still afford to take out 500,000 kilograms of forging materials?
There was a high chance that these forging materials came from an illegal source. Perhaps Tang Tang had embezzled public funds and had to return them after using them.
Zhou Shu didn’t know, but he immediately guessed the truth.
“Don’t worry, Lord. I guarantee that these five hundred thousand kilograms of forging materials will always be with me!” Yao Buqi said. He wouldn’t be with them forever. When the time came, he would have long taken these forging materials to join Zhou Shu and fled.
But Tang Tang thought that Yao Buqi meant that he would protect these forging materials with all his might. He nodded in satisfaction. “You’re in charge of taking care of these forging materials. You don’t have to worry about anything else.”
While speaking, he poured out a pile of forging materials from his grotto-heaven, scattering them on the ground.
