Chapter 1379 Am I making things difficult for you?

Xu Xiao wanted to speak again, but when the words reached his lips, he was stopped by a stern shout from behind him.

"You're all fucking lazy while I'm away, huh?!"

As the whip blasted, an Ogryn dog-headed man wearing thin armor appeared in the mine.

His eyes swept across the surroundings and soon locked onto the neatly dressed Xu Xiao in the dirty and gloomy environment.

The Ogryn Kobold was stunned for a moment, then reacted:

"You...are the Chosen One?"

Xu Xiao did not respond to the question, but shifted his gaze to the long whip in the other party's hand:

"What are you planning to do?"

"Whip these working Parus?"

"Oh, of course not." Ogryn Kobold chuckled, hid the whip behind him, and said nonsense:

"This is my weapon... After all, there might be cracks in the mine. If a monster pops out, I won't be able to deal with it with my bare hands..."

The pony behind the dog-headed man curled his lips in disdain when he heard this.

"Don't you think I'm right, Lao Shi?"

The minotaur whose name was called by the Ogryn kobold shrank even tighter, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Yeah……"

"The slave owner is trying to protect us and ensure the safety of the mine..."

Xu Xiao hesitated to speak.

After staying on the Palu star belt for a while and experiencing all the previous things,

She already knew what the Palu slaves feared.

Forcing them to tell the truth by force is of no use at all.

In order to completely liberate them, we must let them awaken on their own and ignite the fire in their hearts that has not burned for a long time!

"Since it's to ensure safety in the mine, there's nothing more to say." Xu Xiao seemed to have given up and said lightly:

"But I'm here, so you don't have to bother patrolling. Go back."

After saying that, Xu Xiao stood still and stared quietly at the Ogryn Gnoll opposite him.

The latter's eyes were uncertain for a while, and then he laughed and said:

"I'm afraid this is not appropriate?"

"As a slave owner, I also have the responsibility to ensure the safety of the mines."

"If I leave now, and something goes wrong, won't I be charged with desertion?"

"Lord Chosen One, please don't make things difficult for a small person like me..."

This Ogryn dog-headed man had obviously learned about Xu Xiao's character from other slave owners and knew that this chosen one was very kind and easy to talk to.

That's why I dared to refute Xu Xiao's proposal.

If it were any other chosen one from God, a single look would probably make him tuck his tail between his legs and leave in disgrace!

"I'm... embarrassing you?"

Xu Xiao frowned, and guilt gradually appeared in his eyes.

Just as the Ogryn Kobold had expected, she really began to feel conflicted.

Although I know in my heart that these slave owners are not good people.

But when she thought about the trouble her behavior would cause to others, she couldn't help but want to consider others.

"Yeah, I'm just an ordinary player making a living on a mining planet. I'm not much better than these Palu slaves."

"If you don't let me finish my work, it's like destroying my job..."

The Ogryn Kobold pretended to be pitiful and kept talking.

The conflicted look on Xu Xiao's face became even more intense.

However, just as she was about to compromise, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the mine!

It was as if a huge hammer as big as a mountain had smashed down on this planet rich in wax minerals.

For a moment, the earth shook and dust fell from the top of the mine tunnel.

The Palu slaves all looked terrified, holding their heads and shrinking their bodies, trying to avoid the impending disaster.

The Ogryn gnolls also thought the mine was going to collapse, and stumbled towards the exit.

But before he could take two steps, the terrifying aura sweeping over from the mine entrance forced him back!

That was the might of the Chosen One, the aura of a high status that could easily crush an ordinary player like him!

But she didn't have the gentle and calmness of Xu Xiao.

Instead, it is as blazing as a star!

"So you're here, it was so hard for me to find you..."

A voice full of the charm of a mature woman sounded at the entrance of the mine tunnel, gradually echoing and spreading in the not-so-spacious corridor.

As the twisted shadow on the ground approached, a sticky and slippery snapping sound quickly penetrated everyone's ears.

No one, including Xu Xiao, dared to act rashly.

Until the newcomer appeared completely in their sight.

She was a woman with three-dimensional features and a well-proportioned figure.

The upper body is similar to that of humans and is full of unparalleled beauty.

But the legs in the lower body are replaced by eight strong and powerful tentacles, showing full strength!

As soon as the person walked out of the corner of the corridor, his sight was locked on Xu Xiao.

There is no intention of searching at all.

obviously,

The target she was referring to as "making it easy to find" was exactly Xu Xiao.

But Xu Xiao was confused.

Because she didn't even know the person.

They have never even seen each other.

"As expected, I finally passed the test and came out of the divine realm."

"Thank you for your help. I'll return the things to you."

"Also, I owe you this time. If you need any help from me in the future, just ask."

As she spoke, the woman took out something, lifted it up with her mental power, and handed it to Xu Xiao.

After seeing clearly, the latter's face suddenly showed enlightenment, and he murmured:

"Is this... [Immortal Golden Cicada]?"

"Are you Madame Octopus?!"

"That's right." The woman with three-dimensional features nodded and smiled, full of charm.

"But I'm no longer the overlord of Neptune. You don't have to call me by my title. Just call me Matilda."

"That's great! It's great that you can survive the test!" Xu Xiao was happy for Mrs. Octopus from the bottom of his heart:

"I was worried that giving you just an epic item wouldn't be of much use..."

"The Immortal Golden Cicada plays a crucial role. Without it, I would never have been able to pass the test and gain recognition." Matilda thanked Xu Xiao sincerely.

"Also, your reminder was very important. It helped me understand how to make full use of this item."

"Reminder?" Xu Xiao's smile froze, and he blinked blankly.

"I think I just threw the [Immortal Golden Cicada] to you, and didn't give you any warnings, right?"

Matilda was also stunned for a moment. After a brief recollection, she said with certainty:

"Didn't you tell me during the trial that I had to immediately swallow the [Immortal Golden Cicada] and eliminate the remaining forces of Canglan in order to meet the requirements of the authority of 'Justice' and pass the test?"

"Without your reminder, I would have already given this crucial item to Black Whale during the test."
