#852 - The Deed of Heaven and Earth

After some discussion, Xiao Wenzhuo quickly took out the Zerang Lingzhu.

This bamboo is indeed a rare object. After falling into the heavy water, it was not affected by the power of the heavy water at all, which made everyone marvel at it.

After everyone stepped onto the Zerang Lingzhu, the small boat was pushed by everyone towards the entrance to the second floor of the pagoda.

Soon, the raging flames covered the figures of several people.

On the fourth floor of the pagoda, Chen Qinghe, who was in great shape, looked at the endless darkness around him. He did not continue to look for the Taotie hiding in it, but just had a thoughtful look on his face.

Although it was imprisoned in a pagoda, as a ferocious beast that has survived for thousands of years, its strength must be quite good. With his current means, even if the Taotie's state has declined, it will not be easy to get rid of it.

Continuing to delay here would only be a waste of time.

After thinking for a while, Chen Qinghe slowly spoke into the darkness:

"Senior, please show yourself and have a chat."

This time, a voice was heard in the silent darkness:

"Haha, you insidious human, do you think I'm stupid?"

Having suffered a loss once, Taotie did not reveal his identity through words this time. Instead, he used some strange secret technique to make sounds be heard in the darkness around him, making it difficult for Chen Qinghe to identify his location by direction.

Facing Taotie's accusation, Chen Qinghe was not ashamed at all, he just smiled and said:

"Senior, we are acquainted with each other through fighting. We were enemies before, so it is normal that my methods are a little dishonorable. However, there is no conflict between you and me. Why don't we shake hands and make peace? What do you think?"

"Hehe, young man, don't you think it's a little late to shake hands and make peace now?"

"You stole so many things from me and poured water into my stomach. You are so immoral and you still want me to let you go. Do you think it's possible?"

Hearing this, Chen Qinghe immediately retorted:

"Senior, your words are too harsh. Those things were not wanted by you. I picked them up openly. How can I say they were stolen?"

"Haha, no matter what you say, as long as I am here, you will never be able to leave this tower. When my strength recovers, you will naturally not be my opponent!"

Facing Taotie's resolute words, Chen Qinghe was not angry, but just smiled and said:

"Senior, are you really unwilling to leave this pagoda? Or do you really place your hopes on those two people?"

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

There was a hint of muffled emotion in Taotie's baby-like voice.

Chen Qinghe continued:

"Senior, you have been here for a long time, and you may not know the situation outside. I will briefly introduce the current situation of Southern Xinjiang to you."

“…”

"The two people who agreed to your conditions are both descendants of the aristocratic families in Southern Xinjiang. Their aristocratic families are so powerful that they have already occupied the entire Southern Xinjiang area. What do you think is the purpose of their coming to this secret realm?"

"Should we save you and let you go? Or should we take control of this extraordinary pagoda? Besides, since you are an ancient fierce beast, I think there must be many people who covet your body, right?"

After his speech, Chen Qinghe said no more, and there was silence in the darkness for a long time.

After a moment, Taotie's mocking voice was heard in the darkness:

"All humans are equally hateful. Since they are hard to trust, are you, a fellow human, trustworthy?"

Facing Taotie's sneer, Chen Qinghe said calmly:

"Whether I am trustworthy or not depends on your choice. However, multiple choices mean multiple paths. With my ability, it doesn't matter if you trust me once. It won't cause any loss to you, right?"

After these words were spoken, there was another long silence in the darkness. Chen Qinghe was not impatient, but just sat there and waited quietly.

He believed that Taotie would agree sooner or later.

And the facts were just as Chen Qinghe had expected. After waiting for a long time, the figure of Taotie quickly emerged from the darkness and slowly came in front of Chen Qinghe.

Faced with the Taotie's reappearance, Chen Qinghe did not take action this time.

After appearing, Taotie also said slowly:

"I can promise you that I will let you go to the next level, and even tell you the information about this tower. But before that, you also need to agree to one condition of mine."

"Senior, please feel free to speak."

"I have a contract here, which is an ancient relic. As long as you sign it and promise to help me escape from this tower, I will believe what you say is true."

As he spoke, Taotie opened his mouth and spit out a piece of golden paper, which floated in the air.

At the same time, Chen Qinghe heard Taotie's introduction:

"This contract is called the Heaven and Earth Contract. It contains the power of heaven and earth. Even a warrior in the Condensed Spirit Realm cannot disobey it. If you do not abide by the contract, or even have any regrets in your heart, you will be struck by heavenly thunder and your body will be destroyed."

"Since you said you would help me escape from this tower, then sign this contract. Otherwise, I won't believe you no matter what you say!"

Looking at the golden contract in front of him, Chen Qinghe did not rush to agree, but looked thoughtful.

At this time, Taotie continued:

"The armor you are wearing is the same as the armor worn by the two people above. You must have some grudge against the people from that noble family. If I let you go up, it means that I have chosen you. Since I trust you so much, should you also trust me?"

"And you don't have much time left. I have sensed that those two will soon break through to the next level."

"I have said this much. It is up to you to decide whether to agree or not."

After Taotie finished speaking, his figure prepared to retreat into the darkness.

But the next moment, Taotie heard Chen Qinghe's affirmative voice:

"Okay, I agree!"

"Sign the contract!"

Seeing Chen Qinghe's decisiveness, Taotie smiled faintly and agreed immediately:

"Okay, you and I just need to take a drop of blood each and drop it into the contract, and then silently recite the contents of this contract in our hearts."

Under the guidance of Taotie, Chen Qinghe waved his finger lightly, and a drop of blood separated from his body and dripped onto the golden paper in front of him.

As the blood of the man and the beast dripped into the book respectively, the contents of the book were quickly sensed in Chen Qinghe's heart, and it was indeed the same as what Taotie said.

Moreover, Chen Qinghe could also sense that the power of heaven and earth in this contract was extremely extraordinary. It was a testimony from heaven and earth, not an ordinary power of heaven and earth. It was just that he was now inside the pagoda, and his sense of heaven and earth was somewhat weak.

After signing the contract, the relationship between the two quickly eased.

Chen Qinghe then asked:

"I wonder when the senior will send me to the next level?"

Taotie shook his head:

"Don't worry. The fifth floor of the Linglong Tower covers a wide range of areas. With your strength, it will be difficult to get through. When the time is right, I will help you."

PS: It’s almost there, brothers, please hold on a little longer, I will soon become a twice-update beast.
