Chapter 1496 The Secret of the Compass!

Fortunately, what Mitt worried about did not happen.

The uniqueness of the great demon Li Yun far exceeded his imagination.

Far from being offended by Babayak's remarks, he responded with considerable satisfaction:

"Your concern is warranted."

"If you had spoken so bluntly to any other demon, you would have been beheaded by now, leaving this world behind."

"Be careful next time you're out there and don't make this mistake again."

"I..." Babayak didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Mitt was good at observing people's expressions and immediately understood Lu Li's meaning. He quickly spoke up and said:

"Master Li Yun is right!"

Then he deliberately lowered his voice, as if he didn't want anyone else to hear, and urged:

"Lord Li Yun is training you as his confidant! Why don't you thank him right away!"

"Don't even mention that you'll never meet a high-level monster like you who is willing to take you with you in your lifetime!"

"Even if you and I were put together and multiplied by a hundred, we might not be able to meet each other in two hundred lifetimes! Cherish it!"

Babayak finally understood what Li Yun meant after hearing this, and immediately knelt down to kowtow to him again.

Lu Li, just like before, used his mental strength to hold it up, and then casually turned the page:

"I haven't finished asking questions yet, let's get down to business first."

"The third question."

"Have you found anything here recently?"

"I mean the kind of discovery that would attract a large number of demons from the central area to come and conduct in-depth exploration."

Mitt remained silent this time and turned his gaze directly to Babayak.

There is no other reason,

Because he is not an explorer at all.

Even if there were any major discoveries in the Endless Forest, it should have been the explorer Babayak who knew about it first and then reported it to the three Gobelin elders.

of course,

Now there are only two.

Babayak hesitated again, not knowing whether he should tell Mitt about his previous discovery in front of him.

Until Lu Li once again gave the order to 'tell the truth'.

"Actually, sir..." Babayak scratched his cheek and said a little embarrassedly:

"The mine where we met before is actually the most important discovery recently."

"It's just that the things inside have been cleared out in advance, and my compass is now missing, so..."

“So it can’t be considered a discovery.”

"But this is only the situation in this settlement. I don't know about other small settlements."

"After all, there are more than a dozen small settlements scattered from the 'Gobelin Pioneer Tribe'..."

"That's it." Lu Li nodded:

"If we discover something, how do we contact the Goberlin Pioneer Tribe?"

"Should you report it directly or..."

"Explorators from each small settlement will first report their findings to the elders of that settlement, who will then report them to the pioneering tribe." Mitt took over the topic flatteringly.

"Of course, now that you are in our settlement, matters like this will naturally be decided by you."

"Oh, so..." Lu Li nodded again and fell silent thoughtfully.

Babayak and Mitt looked at each other and tacitly agreed to remain silent, not daring to make any sound.

Until Lu Li suddenly spoke:

"I have a question."

"When Babayak had that magical compass, it should have been able to serve as a kind of positioning tool, thus helping him find the treasures hidden in the Endless Forest, right?"

"Your elder Goberlin obviously understands this as well."

"Then according to common sense, the efficiency of your settlement should be very high, and it should often attract the great demons in the central area to conduct in-depth exploration."

"Correspondingly, the number of Goblins in your settlement should be relatively small."

"But I looked at it earlier and found that it was not the case."

"Could it be that Elder Goberlin lied and concealed the truth?"

Hearing this, Mitt's whole body shuddered, and a smile uglier than crying suddenly appeared on his face:

"How could we dare to conceal something that could cost us our lives..."

"It's Baba Yak's compass. Only he can use it, and it doesn't always work."

"If you can hit it once in a hundred times, that's considered a stroke of luck!"

"Only Babayak can use it? Then why is Grom trying so hard to snatch it away and claim it as his own?" Lu Li raised his eyebrows, a look of 'I don't understand' on his face:

"If I hadn't searched his soul and found the exact location of the compass, I wouldn't have been able to find it right now."

As he spoke, Lu Li reached out his hand to the storage item and took out a pitch-black compass.

It was the mysterious item that the Five Ghosts of Fortune had taken from the captain of the Goblin Guard, Gralgorn.

"My compass..." Babayak's eyes lit up when he saw the compass.

He subconsciously wanted to pick it up.

But before he could make any move, he suddenly realized something and quickly retracted his hand.

"Yes, it's a compass." Lu Li raised the corner of his mouth and wiped the surface of the compass with his thumb with a little force.

Through the crystal spacer, you can see a white pointer inside, wobbling and pointing to a certain position.

Lu Li handed the compass over directly.

Babayak looked surprised, and a look of delight appeared on his face again.

But he still didn't reach out to take it.

Instead, as Lu Li wished, he took the initiative to speak:

"My Lord, I would like to present this compass to you. It will be yours completely."

"Just as I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life."

"But isn't this compass only for you to use?" Lu Li rubbed the crystal septum on the compass with his thumb twice, making it more transparent.

"It's useless for me to take it."

"Well, actually, it's not true..." Babayak explained quickly:

"I think maybe no one understands the correct way to use this compass, and after repeated attempts, they've come to the wrong conclusion that 'only I can use it.'"

"Otherwise, Elder Grom wouldn't have tried so hard to snatch it from me."

"What you mean is that the reason why everyone now thinks that only you can use this item is because its quality is too high, or it is concealed by some means, so that specific information cannot be displayed on the data panel, thus misleading this result?" Lu Li asked.

"Yes." Babayak nodded.

"Perhaps Elder Grom has acquired more advanced reconnaissance equipment, or knows of some means to uncover false pretenses..."

"Or maybe he plans to get the compass first, and then find a way to decipher the secrets within." Lu Li interrupted calmly, staring at the compass in his hand and muttering:

"This prop is really weird, even I can't figure it out..."
