Chapter 2131 I also want to leave
After hearing Matthew's words, the Black Tortoise Beast King's eyes, which were as deep as a deep pool, narrowed slightly, and those eyes seemed to contain the accumulation of endless years.
The originally restless mood seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force. It seemed to fall into deep thought and fell into silence for a short time.
The air around it seemed to become heavy with its silence. Only the slight sound of breathing echoed in the silence, as if it was the sound of time slowly flowing.
After a moment, it slowly opened its thick and wide mouth, and as its mouth opened, a faint breath emanated.
A deep and rich voice came from deep in his throat, like an ancient bell being struck, with a shocking power: "One last question, besides the Black Realm Stone, do you know any other way to leave this place?"
The sound echoed in the empty space, and every word seemed to hit the surrounding walls, then slowly reflected back and fell into Matthew's ears.
This sudden question made Matthew slightly stunned. His eyes became sharp in an instant, and his mind was like a high-speed running gear, quickly capturing the deep meaning contained in it.
In just a moment, he understood the desire and expectation hidden behind the words of the Black Tortoise Beast King.
It was a yearning for freedom after being trapped for a long time, and a strong curiosity about the unknown world. The situation was almost the same as that of the Mangcang tribe.
"Could it be... Are you planning to leave Mangcang Treasure Pavilion?"
Matthew narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a flat tone.
Although he already had the answer in his mind, out of caution, he still needed to further confirm the other party's true intentions.
The Black Tortoise Beast King nodded slightly to show his agreement.
Its movement seemed somewhat heavy, as if it was carrying the shackles of countless years.
Then, it continued with a tone of emotion and yearning: "Yes, I have always been curious about the vast and unknown world outside. I was fortunate enough to hear the wonderful scenes of the outside world described by those humans who accidentally entered this place. But unfortunately, we have never been able to find a way to leave."
Having said that, the gaze of the Black Tortoise Beast King became more determined, with a fiery light flashing in his originally deep eyes, as if he had made up his mind to break through this long-bound cage and explore a wider world.
Its body trembled slightly, as if it was a physical manifestation of its inner excitement.
Then, it continued, "Not only me, but also the other three beast kings. We have also tried many ways. We have searched every corner of the Mangcang Treasure Pavilion and explored every possible secret passage. We have also tried various powerful impacts to try to break the confinement of this space, but every effort is like an ant trying to shake a tree, and there is no gain. We put all our hopes on this cave, hoping that the things left by the old guy can help us leave."
"However... when I went deeper into it this time, I was unable to find anything that could activate the Black Realm Stone."
There was a hint of helplessness and deep frustration that was hard to conceal in the voice of the Black Tortoise King of Monsters.
Its eyes, which were originally as bright as stars, now seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze, appearing somewhat dim.
Hearing what the Black Tortoise King said, Matthew was slightly startled. After a moment of silence, he slowly turned his gaze towards the huge creature in front of him and said slowly, "I believe you already know that the Black Realm Stone has fallen into my hands. Moreover, I dared to come here alone today, so I must have a plan in mind and I am fully confident that I can get away from here safely."
Although Matthew's words were spoken lightly, the confidence and determination contained in them were self-evident.
Obviously, he intended to comfort the anxious heart of the Black Tortoise Beast King and make him believe that he had enough ability to escape unscathed and successfully capture the Mangcang Treasure Pavilion.
After hearing Matthew's words, the eyes of the Black Tortoise Monster King, which were as big as copper bells, suddenly burst into a bright light. The dark color that was originally filled in his eyes also quickly receded like a tide at this moment, disappearing without a trace.
The Black Tortoise King took a deep breath, as if he wanted to suck all the air around him into his stomach, and then he slowly said, "Okay, I believe you. Then, let me talk to you about the terms of this transaction."
Its voice was low and rich, with a hint of excitement.
However, in response to the words of the Black Tortoise King, Matthew simply nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew, but did not say another word.
For a moment, there was silence all around, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze.
"Just spare my life and don't refine me. In return, I will give you all the wealth I have accumulated throughout my life. Not only that, I can also personally lead you to find the other three beast kings. I believe that you already have the fiefdom rune, so the rest of the runes must have been collected by you. With your ability, it should not be difficult to subdue them."
The Xuanwu beast king spoke eloquently.
However, after hearing these words, Matthew couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
On the surface, these conditions seemed to be very simple and clear, but in fact, Matthew was still keenly aware of a subtle hint of temptation in them.
After all, the Black Tortoise King simply wanted to use this method to find out whether he really held the other three runes in his hands.
"and then?"
Matthew is not a fool, how could he reveal his secrets? He looked at the Black Tortoise King opposite him with a smile and said.
When the Black Tortoise King of Monsters saw that Matthew did not continue speaking in accordance with his words, he knew that his little trick had been seen through by Matthew.
He didn't feel any unusual emotional fluctuations about this.
He also knew that the request he had just made would definitely not be met by Matthew.
Immediately, he continued, "What I just said is only part of the conditions. In addition to the above conditions, I can also take you to find any treasures in the Mangcang Treasure Pavilion. Many things are useless to us alien beasts, but they are treasures to you humans."
It is unknown how many years the Black Tortoise King of Monsters has lived. Although he is not a human, his mind is not dull.
I also know that negotiating conditions is a gradual process and it is impossible to put all the conditions out there right away.
A transaction is a negotiation, which requires a back-and-forth and mutual consultation process.
