Chapter 111  Ulterior Motives

Lamont took two steps slowly in front of the table, his stern expression suddenly relaxed, he smiled slightly, nodded, and said: "Okay, this is naturally no problem. Originally, there was such a rule on our Fuller Star. Any disciple who can successfully obtain the insect flower fruit will be rewarded heavily after returning, including helping the disciple to advance to civilization."

"It's just... now the materials for advancement are still in short supply, and I'm afraid I can't gather all the materials needed to help you advance for a while, but if you only want one piece of star flame, it's still no problem, but in this way, it's a bit unfair to you."

Lamont sighed slightly when he said this, and his sincere expression seemed to really feel sorry for Li Ming. He raised his eyes and said: "But... if you have other needs, I will still try my best to meet them."

Lamont said with a smile on his face, as if he really regarded Li Ming as a Florentine.

Li Ming was very happy to hear this, and he bowed his head and said, "I am very satisfied to get a piece of Star Flame. How can I dare to have any other extravagant demands?"

"Hehehe..."

Lamont chuckled, and suddenly moved his palm. A golden stone appeared in his hand. Lamont looked at the object in his palm with his eyes. After hesitating for a second or two, he suddenly threw it and said, "This is Star Flame. You can take it."

Li Ming raised his right hand and took the object in his hand.

This object is only the size of a jujube, and its appearance is golden, like a piece of gold. The energy inside scattered, and at the same time, a memory immediately emerged in Li Ming's brain.

"It's really... Star Flame!"

Li Ming was surprised and excited and muttered to himself. He couldn't help but smile on his face. The thing he had been looking for was finally in his hands.

This sudden arrival of Star Flame made Li Ming smile. After all, with this object, Li Ming's entry into the sixth-level civilization is just around the corner.

Just when Li Ming was extremely happy, Lamont suddenly coughed twice and said, "The matter of the Demon Cave is over. There is another thing I have to give you."

Hearing this, Li Ming quickly put away the Star Flame, his smile disappeared, and he showed a serious look. After bowing his head, he said, "The high priest can give orders, and the disciple will do it."

Speaking of this, Li Ming's heart was "clicked", as if he suddenly understood something...

The rarity of the Star Flame is self-evident. Even if Li Ming got the insect flower fruit, as a foreigner, he would definitely not be trusted by the Florentines. Although Li Ming asked for the Star Flame, he did not hold much hope.

Lamont agreed after some hesitation, which really surprised Li Ming, but the thing he immediately gave Li Ming made Li Ming feel a little cold in his heart.

"Sure enough, this Star Flame is not given for nothing..."

Li Ming said to himself, and at the same time he also had a few ominous premonitions.

Lamont naturally couldn't see what Li Ming was thinking. He smiled and said, "It's a long story, but other than you, no other disciple can do it."

Li Ming bowed his head and said nothing, with his ears erect, waiting for Lamont to speak.

Lamont turned and walked out of the table, and took a few steps towards Li Ming, saying, "To the east of our Fuller Star is the former residential area of ​​the Feixi tribe. Although there are only a few Feixi people left now, there are still some important things where they lived before, so I want to send someone to get those things back."

Li Ming frowned and showed a puzzled expression. Li Ming, a foreigner, was extremely unfamiliar with Fuller Star, and was unfamiliar with any place. Why would he let himself go?

Just when Li Ming was puzzled, Lamont continued, "This place is called [Falling Rice Gate]. You need a key to enter it. Now we have the key, so going in and out is no longer a problem, but after entering, I am afraid we will have to face some problems."

Li Ming continued to be silent, waiting for the other party to continue.

"The key to the Falling Rice Gate is Zenia, so you should know why I asked you to go this time."

Lamont half-closed his eyes, and paused as if he was hinting at something.

Li Ming looked blank, and for a moment he did not understand Lamont's intention. After shaking his head slightly, he bowed his head and said, "My disciple is ignorant and did not understand the meaning of the high priest."

Lamont smiled, patted Li Ming's arm lightly, and said, "The Falling Rice Gate is full of dangers. If someone who is not familiar with the environment enters, most of them will not return. But if you can get Zenia's help, you can avoid many dangers. With the relationship between you and her..."

Before Lamont finished speaking, Li Ming's eyes suddenly widened a little, with a look of sudden enlightenment, and looked at Lamont, muttering: "So if I go, Zenia will..."

Lamont suddenly waved his hand and said with a smile: "You just need to understand the meaning..."

Li Ming nodded slowly, frowned slightly, and said again: "But, isn't the mentor named Sol closer to Zenia? And Zenia seems to trust him more."

"Hey, you can't say that. There are some things you don't understand. This Sol is indeed closer to Zenia, but after all, Sol is from Feixi, and you, Li Ming, are now from our Florence. This is different."

Lamont patted Li Ming's arm again and said meaningfully.

Li Ming's eyes tightened, and the muscles on his face trembled slightly. He already understood what Lamont meant. It was obvious that Saul, a Feixi man who had taken refuge in Florence, did not gain Florence's trust. It seemed that he was just He is just a puppet. In comparison, Lamont seems to trust himself more.

"Disciple...understood..."

Li Ming said slowly.

"Um."

Lamont nodded with satisfaction, then raised his right arm, flicked his sleeve, and four green lights shot out from the cuffs. The green light flashed and fell to the ground. The green light was dazzling at first, but soon faded. When the green light It faded away, and four more bamboo cages appeared on the ground inside the house.

The bamboo cage is square in shape and is made up of green bamboos. Each bamboo is wrapped with small black vines, which is very strange. The bamboo cage also releases strange energy.

Li Ming glanced around with a puzzled look on his face, but as soon as his consciousness sensed something was wrong in the bamboo cage.

There are unexpectedly desolate beasts in this bamboo cage. The four desolate beasts are all of relatively low levels, one is at the third level, two are at the second level, and one Li Ming cannot even sense the level.

"Desolate beast? What do you mean?"

Li Ming said secretly in his heart, with a puzzled expression, completely unaware of the intention.

Lamont saw what Li Ming was thinking. He smiled slightly and was about to say something. However, before Lamont could open his mouth, the desolate beast that could not sense the level suddenly made a strange sound of "plop, plop, plop".

This desolate beast that Li Ming could not sense immediately caught Li Ming's attention. He narrowed his eyes and looked at it carefully.

After watching carefully, Li Ming was suddenly startled, his brows furrowed, his eyes widened a bit, and he couldn't help but say: "This is not..."

The desolate beast that Li Ming couldn't sense was none other than Moore.

At this time, Moore looked groggy, his hazy eyes opened slightly, and he glanced at the gap in the bamboo cage. He first looked at Lamont angrily and roared.

Compared to the other three wild beasts, Muir seemed unusually violent, but its screams were incomprehensible to ordinary aliens, but Li Ming, who had a spiritual civilization, could hear them clearly.

This is what Moore is shouting: "Damn it, do you know my identity? I'm a star beast! Idiot! Let me out!"

Lamont turned his eyes sharply, looked at Moore, and scolded directly: "You beast, you still dare to bark!"

The powerful seventh-level civilization aura, coupled with the fierce eyes, immediately made Moore stop. His body curled up and leaned tightly against a corner of the bamboo cage. He did not dare to make any sound, but looked at Lamont with a look that was filled with fear. With a bit of anger.

But in the blink of an eye, Moore's eyes suddenly lit up and he saw Li Ming next to Lamont. He suddenly burst into ecstasy and screamed, with a look of grievance and a bit of excitement. , two wings grasping two bamboo joints like two hands, the head poked out from the gap between the bamboo joints, blinking eyes almost shed tears, praying, uneasy, hoping, various expressions were changing in the eyes.

"Um?!"

Lamont looked at Moore with angry eyes again.

As soon as he saw Lamont's eyes, Moore shrank back in panic and returned to the corner of the bamboo cage. His slightly trembling body did not dare to make any sound, and he just looked at Li Ming with humble eyes.

Seeing Moore calm down, Lamont's expression returned to normal, his eyes looked at Li Ming, and said: "These four are the wild beasts needed to participate in [Falling Rice Gate]."

Li Ming's eyes kept looking at Moore, and he didn't know why this aloof star beast ended up in such a predicament. Li Ming did not show any unnecessary expression in front of Lamont, but turned to Lamont again. Monte.

His eyes glanced at the other three desolate beasts. Li Ming looked puzzled and asked, "Do you need a desolate beast to enter the Gate of Falling Rice?"

Lamont nodded slightly and said: "That's right, after entering the Gate of Falling Rice, the first passage is [Beast Marks Passage - Youjing]. Except for Fei Xiren, other outsiders must have wilderness to enter that passage. Only animals can do it, not even us Florentines."

"Oh, I see."

Li Ming already understood and nodded repeatedly.

Lamont took a few steps forward and came to the four bamboo cages, and said: "These four wild beasts were captured by me in the wild forest for this Operation Falling Rice Gate. Apart from you, , we, the Death Medicine Clan, will send three more people to participate.”

"I have high hopes for you in this operation, so you can choose the four wild beasts captured first."

Lamont smiled slightly and looked at Li Ming solemnly, as if he really valued Li Ming very much in his eyes.

Li Ming couldn't help but be startled, and quickly bowed his head, and said respectfully: "How could my disciple He De be so favored by the high priest? I really can't afford it. This opportunity should be left to other people. I'm afraid that this disciple will delay the ceremony." Priestly affairs.”

Li Ming looked frightened and said extremely seriously.

But Moore in the bamboo cage came to the edge of the bamboo cage again, with two chicken wings clenching the bamboo joints, his head stretched out from the bamboo joints, and looked at Li Ming pleadingly, and at the same time said with consciousness: "No, Help me, help me..."

This voice sounded in Li Ming's mind, but Li Ming ignored Moore, let alone looked at him. He just bowed in front of Lamont with a respectful attitude.

Lamont didn't notice Moore's thoughts at all. He just looked at Li Ming with his eyes. He was very satisfied with Li Ming's attitude, but he still said: "You don't have to worry about this. As long as you try your best, it will be enough. Besides, other After all, the participants are members of our biological civilization, and it is easier for them to tame animals than for you."

"Okay, it's settled. You just have to choose. There's no need to refuse this matter."

Lamont said again.
