Chapter 2553 determines the time, and the reason comes to light!
Upon hearing this, Ling Tian just looked at Captain Qi silently.
Logically speaking, Ling Tian came to find Captain Qi just to hear his invitation, and then find out his trump card, and then overthrow the city lord together, take control of Licheng, and then find the passage.
However, Ling Tian frowned slightly when he saw Captain Qi's direct invitation. He asked tentatively, "Captain Qi, you should know that the Lord of Licheng is more powerful than me. I can't compete with him, right? Do you think we can overthrow the Lord even if we work together?"
"Captain Qi should know better than me that even if all of us humans join together, we are no match for the Lord of Licheng. So... even if you invite me, we have no chance of winning."
After these words were spoken, Captain Qi looked at Ling Tian, smiled faintly, and nodded: "Brother, you are right. The city lord is indeed very powerful, but I am looking for your cooperation not to let you deal with the city lord, but the other four monsters, that is, the city lord's four guardians."
"The Four Dharma Protectors?" Ling Tian's eyes were filled with curiosity. "What are these? Could they be four peak-level demon beasts?"
"No, no, no, they are four adult demon beasts, and their abilities are almost auxiliary. Their lethality is not very strong. As long as you can suppress the city lord, then the four guardians can be dealt with by yourself. There is no threat at all. So... do you want to try?"
After Captain Qi finished speaking, he stared at Ling Tian and couldn't help but look forward to Ling Tian's answer.
After all, during this period of time, Ling Tian was the strongest human warrior he had ever seen.
As long as Ling Tian can cooperate with him and provide him with help, the possibility of overthrowing the city lord will greatly increase. At that time, he only needs to suppress the city lord, and it will not be a fantasy to let Licheng return to the hands of humans again.
Of course, Captain Qi also knew Ling Tian's concerns, so before Ling Tian could reply, he continued, "Brother, I know you're worried about the City Lord, but don't worry, I've found a demon beast that can help us. There will definitely be no problems then!"
"You found a demon beast... and then sent it into battle against other demon beasts? Just to help humans?"
Ling Tianxia spoke subconsciously, with a hint of doubt in his heart. He always felt that it was dangerous for Captain Qi to find a monster to attack the Lord of Licheng, and the possibility of him turning against them was indeed quite high.
However, after hearing Ling Tian's doubts, Captain Qi simply smiled faintly and shook his head: "Don't worry, brother. The monster that provided us with assistance is not from Licheng. Moreover, I have an agreement with it. As long as it provides us with assistance, we will do something for it when the time comes."
"I know the Brotherhood is worried, so I don't need to hide it from you. He needs us to find a passage, a passage that leads to Central City. You may not believe the authenticity of Central City, but I guess since he knows the passage, it means that Central City really exists."
After the words fell, Ling Tian was stunned on the spot, his whole mind was confused, and he was unable to react for a while.
What did Captain Qi say just now?
The monster that provided them with help needs Captain Qi to find a passage?
And it’s the passage to the central city?
The moment he heard the news, Ling Tian felt a different feeling in his heart.
He didn't react for a moment and just stared at Captain Qi blankly.
Captain Qi, on the other hand, noticed Ling Tian's reaction and thought he was surprised by the Central City incident, so he said, "Brother, you don't need to worry too much about the Central City incident. As long as I can seize the position of City Lord of Licheng, you don't need to worry about the rest. I will handle it."
"Of course, brother, if you want to be the city lord at that time, I can let you sit in the position of deputy city lord and let you have absolute power in Licheng!"
After Captain Qi finished speaking, Ling Tian slowly came back to his senses. He swallowed his saliva and looked at him and said, "Captain Qi, the demon beast you mentioned...can I meet it?"
"Hmm?" Captain Qi raised an eyebrow and looked at Ling Tian with some confusion. "Brother, what are you curious about? If you have something you're curious about, you can tell me and I can ask for you. But meeting them in person might be a little difficult. You know, these monsters are somewhat resistant to humans."
"No!" Hearing Captain Qi's words, Ling Tian shook his head: "I must meet this monster in person. This is my request. If you don't agree, I can't provide you with any help. So Captain Qi, please contact them for me and let me meet. Sorry for the inconvenience."
Ling Tian lowered his posture just to meet this monster that knew something about the passage.
I thought I was the only one looking for a chance to reach the central city, but now there is a monster. It was really unexpected.
But at the same time, Ling Tian also understood that as long as he could meet this monster and it had the token, the journey to the central city would be much easier, and perhaps he would have an extra companion.
That's why Ling Tian asked Captain Qi to take him to meet the monster.
Captain Qi noticed that Ling Tian really wanted to meet the monster, so he thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I can take you there now, you..."
"You can go! Right now!" Ling Tian nodded. "As long as Captain Qi is willing to take me, I'm always available. I'm sorry to bother you, Captain Qi. This matter is very important to me, so Captain Qi, I hope you can do me a favor, the sooner the better."
"Okay, then let me make some arrangements and then we'll leave the city."
Out of town?
When Ling Tian heard that they were going to leave the city, he was a little surprised at first, but then he realized that this was a very reasonable situation.
After all, according to the situation of the Lord of Licheng, if a peak-level monster appeared, it would definitely observe the situation of the other party and might even treat this monster as its mortal enemy and attack it.
Therefore, letting this peak-level demon beast exist outside Licheng is indeed a safer method.
Ling Tian naturally didn't think it was inappropriate, so he nodded and agreed, then followed Captain Qi out of the house and came to the city wall with him.
After Captain Qi briefly told his team members some points that needed attention, he left Licheng with Ling Tian.
Arriving outside the city, Captain Qi looked at Ling Tian beside him and whispered, "Brother, this demon beast... has a somewhat strange personality. If it makes you uncomfortable, please bear with me. When everything is settled, I will apologize to you, but today... I hope we won't have a conflict."
Hearing Captain Qi's words, Ling Tian nodded: "Okay, I'll pay attention, just take me there."
"Understood! Let's go then."
