"You said his codename is God?" Li Xiu looked at A Fei with a strange expression.
As far as he knew, among the current Magic Armor Masters, he was the only one who dared to use that as a codename.
Actually, it wasn't his codename, it was a title given by others; his original codename was "Red Flower Gentleman."
"Yes, his codename is God." A Fei's expression was serious, looking very honest, not like she was joking.
"Is he the world's number one Magic Armor Master, God?" Li Xiu wondered if there could be other Magic Armor Masters who used the codename God.
"I don't know if he's the world's number one; I only know others call him God, and he's a Magic Armor Master," A Fei said.
"When did you meet this Magic Armor Master called God?" Li Xiu asked again.
"Three years ago." A Fei answered almost without thinking, and it seemed something unforgettable happened after she met God.
Li Xiu felt a bit awkward; three years ago the timing really matched up. His fame had only grown in the past three years.
A Fei had been trapped in the Abyss Base for three years, not knowing God was the world's number one Magic Armor Master, and the timing was just right.
"What did God do to make you want to kill him?" Li Xiu thought for a while and asked again.
"That has nothing to do with you; you just need to tell me if you can help," A Fei said through gritted teeth.
"I already said, I'm not a killer, and I won't kill without reason." Naturally, Li Xiu couldn't agree to A Fei's request; that would mean killing himself.
A Fei seemed to struggle deeply, and after a while, she spoke with a painful expression: "He killed my entire family, do you think such a person should be killed?"
"Killed your entire family? Where?" Li Xiu was slightly startled.
Now he was sure the God A Fei talked about couldn't be him, because ever since he became a Magic Armor Master, he had been battling Demon Spirits and had no time to kill anyone.
"Haishi Town." A Fei's eyes were full of hatred: "The Ends of the Earth Trial opens only once every six months, and if you miss this chance, you may never have another. If you are willing to help me, I will aid you in reaching the end to get the skill rewards."
Li Xiu thought, "That's even more wrong. I've never been to Haishi Town; the God A Fei spoke of definitely isn't me."
"I can only agree to help you uncover the truth. If the God you mentioned is indeed a monstrous criminal, I can help you seek revenge," Li Xiu said solemnly.
"Okay, I trust you." A Fei stared at Li Xiu for a long time, then turned to her bed, lying down with her back to Li Xiu and said.
"What the heck is going on with the guy named God?" Li Xiu's heart was filled with doubt.
In the Magic Armor Master industry, no one should be unaware of his title God; no one should use this codename. Did the Magic Armor Master using the codename "God" do this intentionally or unintentionally? This left a question mark in Li Xiu's mind.
Even if A Fei doesn't ask for his help, he must find out who that guy is.
While there was still time, Li Xiu put on his Demon Armor, explored the exit path, and confirmed there was indeed a section of the tunnel that had collapsed, as Lao Gu had said.
Since it was underground, Li Xiu didn't dare to simply blast open the collapsed area, so he could only excavate the tunnel.
With the assistance of the Demon Armor, Li Xiu could be said to possess immense strength, moving away those stones and broken steel beams and wooden frames wasn't difficult.
After clearing twenty to thirty meters, the front was still a collapsed tunnel. Li Xiu moved away a stone nearly two meters high, just as he was about to push it to a safe place, behind the giant stone he found piles of colorful stones.
No, those were not ordinary stones, but various gemstones, mostly rubies and sapphires, some were diamonds, others were crystals, tourmalines, garnets, and some gemstones Li Xiu didn't recognize.
Thousands of gemstones piled together dazzled the eyes; even Li Xiu, who wasn't much interested in money, couldn't help but have his eyes shine.
In this era, gemstones were extremely valuable and had not depreciated despite the chaotic times.
That's because to open the Trial Gate, various gemstones were needed, like opening the Sea Heaven Trial Ground required more than thirty one-carat sapphires each time.
Among these thousands of gemstones, there were many precious sapphires, rubies, diamonds, and even not few that weighed over ten carats.
As the saying goes, three red and five blue; rubies over three carats are collectible grade, sapphires over five carats are the same.
Li Xiu just glanced around and found many rubies and sapphires not less than ten carats, and even larger ones.
The diamonds were even more valuable, not less than rubies and sapphires, and Li Xiu even found some very large colored diamonds.
Soon, Li Xiu's gaze was attracted to something in the middle of the pile of gemstones. It was a semi-transparent milky white egg-shaped crystal about the size of a fist.
At first, Li Xiu was attracted to the pile of gemstones and thought it was a piece of jade or something similar, but now he smelled a familiar aura.
"Demon Spirit... Egg..." Li Xiu's expression changed as he looked at the egg.
Despite battling Demon Spirits for many years, Li Xiu had never seen a Demon Spirit Egg, but he had heard of such a thing.
Demon Spirits lay eggs in extremely secret places, and it's challenging for ordinary people to find them; only a few are fortunate enough to encounter Demon Spirit Eggs.
These Demon Spirit Eggs are taken back to labs for study, and their value is considerable.
Rumor has it that some labs have already developed methods to hatch, control, and tame Demon Spirits, but these methods apply only to unhatched Demon Spirits.
Li Xiu had heard about it but had never seen a human-tamed Demon Spirit himself.
"Could it be that Lao Gu wasn't lying, and there really was a Demon Spirit attack outside?" Li Xiu thought carefully, believing the Demon Spirit attack to be true, but doubting Lao Gu's intent to kill, possibly wishing to take advantage of this Demon Spirit attack to monopolize the Sea Heaven Trial Ground's secret.
"Wonder which idiot Demon Spirit chose this place as its nursery, allowing me to enjoy such a windfall." Li Xiu found a large box and intended to pack these gemstones up.
With so many gemstones plus a Demon Spirit Egg, after leaving the Abyss Base, he could live a lavish life without having to do anything for the rest of his life.
Li Xiu removed his Demon Armor, grabbed a handful of gemstones, and was about to throw them into the box when he realized the gemstones he touched instantly shattered like sand, trickling through his fingers.
"What's going on?" Li Xiu grabbed a few more handfuls of gemstones, and the same thing happened: as soon as he touched them, they shattered into pieces quickly leaving only debris, and were of no value.
Seeing the great fortune slip away like this, even Li Xiu, who wasn't much interested in money, couldn't help but be a bit dazed.
Just as Li Xiu was feeling frustrated, the Demon Spirit Egg suddenly moved a little.
