Chapter 1399 Swallowing Divinity!

"Since you've said that, okay..."

Xu Xiao nodded, took the contract and pressed his fingerprint.

The invisible force of rules surged within the isolation barrier, establishing a secret connection between the two parties.

"Okay." The traveling merchant took the contract from the woman, glanced at it, and put it away with great satisfaction.

Then he opened his arms and said lightly:

"Now, you can use your power of mercy on me."

"Okay..." Xu Xiao's mind was moved, and white thorns began to grow slowly on his chest.

As soon as its tip touched the traveling merchant's body, it was like a leech that had been thirsty for a long time smelling the scent of blood and quickly drilled in!

"Hmm... Mom really didn't lie to me. This feeling can't be compared to ordinary talents or equipment..."

The whole 'healing' process was not long.

After about half a cup of tea, the white thorns were slowly pulled out of the merchant's body and returned to Xu Xiao's body.

The situation that followed was consistent with what the traveling merchant had previously described.

Xu Xiao did not lose any other memories, he just forgot the content of the contract he had just browsed.

But the memory of before and after is still clear,

The woman knew clearly that the traveling merchant had no ill intentions and that the contract had already taken effect.

The traveling merchant raised his hand to remove the isolation barrier and looked directly at Li Luo and Matilda who were waiting on the side:

"I've received the advance payment. Now, the next step is how to kill that king-level monster."

"Are you ready to listen?"

Matilda frowned and nodded slightly.

Li Luo remained indifferent throughout the whole process, and only glanced at Xu Xiao, who had a confused expression.

"It's actually very simple. Give it whatever it wants." The merchant said word by word.

"Feed it until it can't eat anymore, and then it'll starve itself to death."

"Give it whatever it wants?" Matilda's eyes twitched.

"It can devour my divinity. Do I have to feed it all of it?"

"That's right." The merchant nodded seriously.

"Yours isn't enough, you can still feed hers. You're all God's chosen ones anyway."

“This is the simplest and most effective method.”

"Is there no other way?" Li Luo asked coldly, obviously not satisfied with this answer:

"Of course there is, but I don't think you can do it now." The merchant laughed.

"Method two: have a god descend upon this real world and crush it into dust with his high status."

"Method three: Let it devour a player with 'realm-level talent.' This has a 70% chance of it bursting, a 29% chance of it ascending to Overlord status, and a 1% chance of a random, uncontrollable event."

"Buy one, get two free. I'm doing this business very conscientiously, right?"

Li Luo and Matilda fell silent again.

Regardless of whether the three methods provided by the traveling merchants are true or false,

Judging from the difficulty of these three methods alone, only the first one can be implemented.

There is always a feeling of being fooled, but there is no evidence...

"Is there anything you don't understand, my friend?" The merchant didn't give the two of them much time to think. After a short pause, he continued:

"If it's gone, then this deal is temporarily over."

"When the time is right, I will appear again and take her away to complete the second half of the deal."

"When will you take her away?" Li Luo asked with a frown.

"When the time is right." The merchant repeated his previous words again, with a tone of obvious ease.

After saying that, he turned around and said to Xu Xiao:

"I believe we'll see each other again soon."

The three of them were silent.

Matilda's face changed from gloomy to bright.

Finally, he made up his mind and moved towards the cage of death.

"What do you want to do?" Li Luo's pupils shrank slightly and he asked.

"Let's try the method he provides." Matilda shrugged.

"If it doesn't work, I can still ask him to make some compensation before he leaves."

"You can read minds, right? You're asking even though you already know the answer..."

"Your divinity may not be enough." The traveling merchant did not intend to run away immediately. He just clasped his hands in front of him, stared at Mrs. Octopus's back, and reminded her lightly.

Matilda stopped walking suddenly, her face looking a little embarrassed.

"Then I'll do it." Li Luo took a step forward and moved towards the cage of death.

But when she was about to overtake Matilda, the traveling merchant's reminder sounded again:

"You have enough divinity, but it will probably be completely exhausted."

"However, for the Chosen Ones of the God of Death, replenishing their divinity is not a difficult task. It just takes some time and some lives."

"And without your divinity, can you suppress the overwhelming murderous intent within you?"

Li Luo's steps also stopped, and the little hands hanging by her side were clenched tightly, with veins bulging on the back of her hands.

"So that means I'm the only one who can do it?" Xu Xiao pointed at himself and said belatedly.

"I can do it too." The merchant didn't give a direct answer, but said in a playful tone:

"Of course, that would incur additional costs."

"Like a shiny gold pocket watch."

"Then let me do it." A smile broke out on Xu Xiao's face.

He seemed to be very happy that he could be of some help in the current predicament.

Li Luo glanced at Madam Octopus beside him and used his mental power to secretly transmit his voice:

"Can't you browse the memory and see what the contract between Xu Xiao and the merchant is?"

Matilda suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.

The authority of justice silently amplified her innate abilities.

This time, without the barrier of the traveling merchants, Matilda could easily see Xu Xiao's memory.

But soon, she froze.

Because the memory of signing the contract is gone.

It’s like the meat filling in the meat bun has been eaten by someone, leaving only the empty bun skin.

"Th-that memory is gone."

Matilda subconsciously wanted to send a message to Li Luo.

But when she saw the same confusion in the other person's eyes as hers, she immediately realized that Li Luo had read her thoughts, so she didn't repeat it.

"This traveling merchant is really problematic..."

Li Luo muttered softly to himself and focused on the situation in the Death Cage.

Perhaps it was because he had no effective means of attack and didn't know how to feed his divinity to the shadow monster.

Xu Xiao simply pulled the white thorns and extended them directly into the cage.

When the shadow monster first sensed that something foreign had entered, it seemed very alert and didn't dare to approach.

But after sensing the rich divinity contained in it, it immediately moved closer like a shark smelling blood, continuously devouring it and pulling the thorns into the cage!

The divinity gradually faded away, bringing a strange feeling, which made Xu Xiao frown slightly and feel a little uncomfortable.

But when I think about being able to completely get rid of this dangerous monster,

She simply released the restrictions and began to pour her divinity into the cage!

More white thorns grew wildly and penetrated into the body of the shadow monster.

Soon, the entire death cage was completely filled and wrapped up!
