Alas! The damn Black hegemon really knows how to recognize quality. He knows which is the best thing on me. greed once said that it's a treasure only possessed by ancient top sects, so this collar should be the most valuable priceless treasure. It's a pity that my Arrogant, which I have already included in my own category, was taken away while I was in a coma.
Alas! What should I do now? I can't leave, and Dark Dragon got seriously injured trying to help me. He can't even fly, only crawl back step by step. If I leave for Arrogant, Dark Dragon might really become a wisp of ghost here.
I sighed again and again, feeling extremely anxious. I wanted to carry Dark Dragon and go find Arrogant. But Dark Dragon is in its original form now, so big that I can't even lift its tail, let alone carry the whole body.
But leaving Dark Dragon lying here is not a solution. At the moment, the most important thing is to find some medicine to apply to Dark Dragon and stop the bleeding. So I can't care too much. I tried to ask the half-dead Dark Dragon: "Little flower, can you still transform into a mimic shape now? I can use this waterproof bag to carry you and take you to see a veterinarian. If there is no veterinarian, I can buy some spiritual medicine."
Dark Dragon gave me a grateful look, then weakly shook its triangular head, indicating that it couldn't change now.
Seeing Dark Dragon's weak appearance, I gritted my teeth and said to Dark Dragon, "Xiaohua, can you wait for me here? I'll go look for help." After saying that, I was about to leave, but unexpectedly, at that moment, Dark Dragon suddenly collapsed on the ground. The blood oozing from its body turned into a dark purple color, as if it had been severely poisoned. Its eyes, which had been open all along, slowly closed, and its breath gradually weakened. This was starting to look serious.
Upon seeing this, I suddenly panicked. "Dark Dragon, you can't die. If you die, how can I explain to Taoshi? I already owe Taoshi a lot. I don't care if I get poisoned myself. I plan to reach out and shake Dark Dragon, trying to wake it up and make it hold on a little longer while I go find the elixir."
"Miss, don't touch it. The severe poison on your spirit pet has already taken effect. If you touch it, you will also be poisoned. There is no cure for this poison." Just then, that little ghost suddenly rushed over and stopped me, anxiously shouting at me. I really didn't expect that the souls in the underworld are so kind, even more so than the good people on earth. That was my first reaction.
At the same time, I regret even more for not believing what those ghosts said just now. I secretly resent that raccoon bastard, thinking, "Wait until I get my hands on you, I'll definitely peel off half of your skin first, then feed you the most poisonous poison in the world, dare you to touch my idea."
But now is not the time for wishful thinking. Seeing this little ghost seeming to understand, I couldn't help but ask, " little one, is there really no way at all? Is my spirit pet really beyond saving?"
"This, it seems there is a way, but forget about it. It's just something that exists in legends. Basically, no one has such a great opportunity to encounter it." The little ghost seemed to think of something, then quickly shook his head to indicate that it was just a rumor.
"Legend? What legend? Tell me quickly, even if it's difficult, I still want to give it a try." I reached out and grabbed the little ghost, shaking him hard, almost scattering his soul.
"Miss, please let go. If you shake me again, I'll faint," the little rascal shouted.
Startled, I quickly let go of his hand. I didn't expect to let go so quickly, causing the little rascal to fall headfirst. I hurried to help him up, but he had already fainted successfully. It took a long time for him to come to, which made me feel guilty. But there was no way around it. Dark Dragon was already getting more angry and less patient. I didn't have time to comfort the little rascal. So as soon as he woke up, I anxiously asked, "little one, quickly tell me, what is that legend?"
"Uh! Is that so, miss? I don't speak in vain. And I'm not called little one, I'm called smart aleck. I specialize in trading information in this area. You could say I know everything from top to bottom, there's nothing in The underworld, or Hades that I don't know. As long as you can afford the price, everything is negotiable." The awakened little ghost suddenly seemed to have transformed, taking on the appearance of a shrewd and cunning merchant.
This caught me off guard for a moment, but I quickly realized that even souls need to make a living. A small ghost like this can only do this kind of work. I understand that, so I readily nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you tell me the legend, I'll pay whatever you want. Oh, but I can only pay in Chinese yuan, and you need to have a card reader. I have a bank card with me. As for Hell money or anything like that, you can exchange it yourself at other stalls."
"No problem, those of us in this line of work have a wide range of connections. If you want to exchange Hell money, I might be able to help you," the smart aleck said, patting his thin chest in a very meaningful way.
"I don't need Hell money, you should be able to tell that I don't belong here!" I shook my head with a vein popping out.
"Miss, don't say that. Even if you don't belong here now, you will belong here someday. So, take advantage of this rare opportunity and deposit some money in the Fengdu City Bank in the underworld. When you really get to the underworld, no one will send you money from above, and you'll be in trouble. It's not as easy to get by here as it is in the human world. Everything requires money, even asking for directions costs money, unless you're rich and maybe in a good mood, then you might not have to pay." the smart aleck immediately retorted.
I thought about it and it does make sense. But now is not the time to discuss this. Let me rescue the Dark Dragon first. Besides, after I die, my master will guide me, so I shouldn't encounter these troubles. So, I quickly reiterated, "Smart aleck, let's not talk about this for now. Just tell me how much money you need to tell me that legend. This is a matter of life and death, and I'm waiting to be saved!"
"Miss, why are you in such a hurry? I've already said that it's just a legend. Even if I told you, it might not necessarily be useful. So, it's more important for you to plan for your own future," the clever one said dismissively, looking like they were considering my well-being.
This made me instantly angry. Whether it's useful or not, I won't know until after you've said it. You little smart aleck, you're really infuriating. So, I said with a stern face, "Smart aleck, are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, I'll ask someone else. I believe there are plenty of spirits here with the same abilities as you."
"Don't, don't, don't, miss, let me say, as for the price, just give a hundred and eighty bucks, I won't ask for more, because this is just a legend, can you help me, miss, otherwise it will be a hundred and eighty thousand." With a look of 'I said it, you can't save Dark Dragon'."
"Okay, deal, when do I give you the money?" I didn't mind the smart aleck's attitude and agreed readily.
"The book stall that sells ancient books has a POS machine. Let me take you to exchange some cash," the smart aleck pointed to the side and said to me.
I nodded, said no more, and followed him to exchange the money. I didn't expect that exchanging money with the POS machine here is legal, but they do charge a fee. It's similar to exchanging money with a POS machine in the black market, just with slightly higher fees. However, if you buy something from them, there is no fee, which makes me feel a bit better about it.
I withdrew one hundred thousand yuan because there's a fifty percent discount on the handling fee for one hundred thousand yuan. Anyway, I'll have to buy other things later. I generously took out two one-hundred-yuan bills and handed them to smart aleck, saying, "smart aleck, one hundred is for consultation fee, and one hundred is for tips. You should know that there's nothing I won't tell you, and I won't stop talking."
"No problem, miss. But you shouldn't have withdrawn this money just now. Be careful of being robbed. Despite the many patrolling guards and sentries here, they are just for show and don't care about the dark things happening here. Here, only those with power have the final say." smart aleck didn't expect that I had just said I only had a few hundred yuan on me, and now I suddenly withdrew one hundred thousand yuan. This surprised him, and he also reminded me with some concern. It seems that this smart aleck still has a conscience.
As soon as I heard that, my heart immediately tensed up. I didn't expect those impressive-looking ghost soldiers to be just decorations. The reason I dared to take so much money was because I thought that no one would dare to rob me in front of these ghost soldiers. Even if the money was lost, it would only be stolen by thieves like raccoon.
Looking at the greedy eyes of the surrounding ghosts, my heart grew cold again. The most powerful combat force by my side, Dark Dragon, is about to die. What should I do? It's as if he sensed my fear, and smart aleck whispered to me, "Miss, how about I help you find some reputable bodyguards? It's only a thousand dollars a day."
"Okay, that's all I can do. Find me ten of them," I said generously, taking out ten thousand yuan. It's a good deal to save a life.
Seeing my agreement, the smart aleck didn't go far. He just blew ten different whistles into the ghost crowd, and ten burly ghosts appeared in front of me. They all looked quite honest. The smart aleck was quite reliable. I thought to myself.
These tough guys and smart alecks all know each other. Without saying a word, they understand each other with just a glance. So when these tough guys walked up to me, they immediately stood behind me to protect me. The greedy ghosts then shifted their gaze, and only then did my heart finally relax.
I gave the little ghost another five hundred bucks as a tip, but he refused, saying he already gets a cut from the tough guys and doesn't need an extra tip from me. He even returned the hundred bucks I gave him, saying he already has enough money and doesn't need an additional tip. This made me look at the smart aleck with even more admiration and fondness.
Continuing with the smart aleck, he was about to tell me the legend, but I interrupted him and said, "Do not say too much, just get to the point. The important thing is where to go and to have this great opportunity."
"Okay, miss, I'll make it short. The legend says that only Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva can cure the poison of the Black hegemon. But Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's whereabouts are elusive and not something anyone can encounter at will. So, miss, it's more important for you to exchange some Hell money at the Fengdu City Bank," the smart aleck said succinctly, and then kindly reminded me again.
Oh! So it was my master after all! Sigh, why didn't I think of asking for my master's contact information at that time? I regret it deeply.
