Chapter 159
The reward is based on merit.
"Of course, I will reward and punish according to merit. No one will steal your merit."
"Uh, what's the reward?"
Since the other party said so, Xu Ming didn't mind listening to what the reward was.
"How about saving your life at any time?
After all, if your identity as the orphan of the Saint of the Heavenly Demon Palace is exposed, there should be no place for you in Xia Country. I can send you back to the Heavenly Demon Palace."
"What does Marshal Si mean by this? Are you from the Heavenly Demon Palace?"
Xu Ming didn't expect to complete the task so easily.
If this news is true, the whole Xia Country will be shaking!
However, his intuition told him that things should not be so simple.
"What do you think? Do you hope I am, or not?"
"What do you think? Actually, I don't care.
You might as well give me some actual rewards."
Xu Ming really doesn't care. He only dares to participate in the game of catching traitors among you big guys because he has means to save his life.
As for the final result, Xu Ming really doesn't care.
Even if it is true, what does it matter?
Could it be that Xia Wushang can put down the defense in the south and come to fight this guy to the death?
"It doesn't matter?"
Xu Ming's answer surprised Si Haochuan, who re-examined Xu Ming seriously.
"It seems that you really have a trump card of dancing on the edge of a knife?
Well, what is the reward that Xia Wushang gave you? To make you willing to use yourself as bait to lure the military marshal and the Heavenly Demon Palace."
"Actually, it's nothing. Marshal Xia said he would help me three times, and I said it would be more practical to give me some seventh-level materials."
"Hahaha... Xia Wushang is indeed a little petty.
It seems that he has not gained any advantage or profit from the confrontation with the Wu Kingdom in these years.
Even, he dared not go out to beg for money and could only passively defend."
"Before King Wu Shuai died, he changed his limit First, who wouldn't be afraid?"
"That makes sense, so what do you want?"
"Even if I can't stay in Xia Country, I don't need to trouble Marshal Si to take me away, I have my own legs.
Why don't you give me a sea map of the sea area?"
"Sea map?"
Si Haochuan looked at Xu Ming suspiciously:
"Could it be that you really plan to run away at any time?"
"What else?
I can even accept such an identity, so it shouldn't be a problem to be ready to run away at any time, right?"
If it weren't for the spirit of time, Xu Ming would not have taken on this task even if he had nine lives.
"Marshal Si, I'm in your hands anyway, and you know my details.
Just speak frankly, right?"
Xu Ming didn't want to beat around the bush and played a frank game directly.
"The four great marshals of the military region, both in the north and south, are surnamed Xia. The west is an endless desert, and there is still a war going on.
Only the east, which is closest to the Demonic Snake Kingdom, is easily contaminated by the demonic energy drifting from the Forbidden Demon Sea and infiltrated by the Heavenly Demon Palace...
Who do you think is most likely?"
"Is it possible that it is another Marshal Xia in the north?"
Xu Ming asked tentatively.
The other party asked this, and it was obvious that his probability was reduced by several percent.
"She is a woman."
Si Haochuan replied.
"Female? What do you mean?"
Xu Ming did not react for a while.
"Why did Xia Wushang give you the identity of a saint's orphan?
Isn't he deliberately trying to offend me?
If I hadn't secretly contacted that saint several times, could he have figured out her true identity?
I didn't even touch her little hand, and she was killed by Xia Wushang.
Now, a saint's orphan suddenly appeared. Who do you think Xia Wushang is disgusting?"
Si Haochuan suddenly cursed.
Xu Ming: ...
Damn, I said this broken plan is full of loopholes and not reliable at all!
Damn, this is probably Xia Wushang's bad taste!
"Uh, Marshal Si, how did you secretly contact the Saint of the Heavenly Demon Palace?"
"Ahem... Don't ask me about this. My whereabouts are all over the East and West continents. What's strange about knowing more people?"
"Is that so..."
Looking at the other party's hesitant look, even if he is not a spy of the Heavenly Demon Palace, at least he can be linked to some messy relationships.
Xia Wushang's suspicion of him is not groundless.
"In short, I have never betrayed the Xia Kingdom, and I will not obey the orders of those stinky bugs in the Heavenly Demon Palace.
As for my subordinates, there are indeed some unlucky people who are corrupted by the devil's energy occasionally, and I have cleaned them up myself.
Do you understand what I said?"
"Hehe... Marshal Si, I've said it before, I don't care whether you are or not.
I care more about the reward, just give me the sea map directly.
Since you are all over the world, why not give me a whole world map?"
"..."
Si Haochuan was speechless by Xu Ming's casualness.
"The sea environment is complex, there are secret places and space cracks everywhere. There are even many islands transformed from the abyss of disaster.
Without a sea map, it is difficult to move forward.
It's not impossible to give you a sea map.
However, you have to prove to me that you have the ability to purify the abyss demonic energy and are not affected by it."
"This is easy, you prepare a hundred or eighty tons of abyss blood jade, and I will purify it for you to see."
"A hundred or eighty tons? If I can take it out, I will really be a guest of honor in the Heavenly Demon Palace."
As he said, he just took out a small piece of black stone, not abyss blood jade.
But the demonic energy is stronger.
"This is the Abyss Ore. I heard that the Abyss disaster that broke out in the secret realm this time was caused by this thing. Let's try it with this."
"Okay."
Then, Xu Ming directly summoned Hongyu and let it take over the Abyss Ore.
"This skeleton is actually the product of demonization!"
Obviously, when they saw Hongyu, Si Haochuan and Xia Wushang had the same doubt.
Now the moment they really saw it, they confirmed their guess.
"The skeleton has no flesh and blood, and is not afraid of the erosion of demonic energy. Moreover, it has a long life to digest the impact of the abyss.
I think this is not called demonization for it, but just a mutation."
Xu Ming explained on the side.
This is also a fact. When the contract was made with Hongyu, the other party's information was not a demonized skeleton, but a mutant skeleton.
"Well... your explanation is reasonable.
After all, no one has ever done such research before.
The Abyss cannot transform the undead? This topic is quite new."
Although it cannot be transformed, for some people, the negative impact of contracting the undead is no less than being polluted by the magic energy.
Therefore, no one will specifically study the dual impact of the undead and the abyss magic energy to see what kind of results it will bring.
Moreover, even if someone studies it, it is doomed to have no results. Because, the process of Hongyu's complete transformation of the abyss was in units of thousands of years.
No beastmaster has such sufficient time to do this research.
As he spoke, the magic energy in the abyss source ore in Hongyu's hand gradually became thinner.
Finally, it turned directly into a handful of powder and drifted from Hongyu's fingers.
The magic energy inside was accumulated in Hongyu's bones and used as the foundation for the next mutation.
If you don't perceive it carefully, you can't perceive the existence of the magic energy at all.
