Chapter 182: a vicious oath

the gray-haired man was very smart.
the other party was swift and decisive, killing two of his teammates without hesitation.
however, he wanted to capture him alive, so he definitely had a request.
what part of him was valuable?
he sneaked a glance and saw that none of their pets were ordinary.
in the wild dog mercenary group, the two bosses could only look up to them.
looking at the energy of this man and woman, they were full of spirit and revealed a determined attitude.
there were also the clothes they wore, the equipment they held, their calm demeanor, their strict tactical arrangements, and their orderly cooperation …
all of these were above him!
the gray-haired man also vaguely noticed a man with a rabbit on his shoulder and the woman riding on the back of the wind foal. there was a faint green color between her brows.
the others might be a little more mature, but they were still much younger than him. they were at least ten years apart.
“young, powerful, endless sand region …”
the gray-haired man’s face turned even paler.
with these conditions, the identity of these five intruders who had suddenly appeared in the remains was obvious.
they had the highest chance of belonging to shanhai college!
the gray-haired man knew how outstanding the official members of this academy were.
when he first stepped onto the path of master, he was once a student of that academy.
unfortunately, he didn’t even pass the first round of the freshmen trial and was eliminated, losing all his opportunities.
as a result, the gray-haired man was angry at the cruel rules of competition, but he was also jealous of those who could persist. he was so jealous that he went crazy.
however, this wasn’t the time to discuss this.
the problem the gray-haired man was facing now was how to survive.
without all material conditions, he had no value.
all that was left was information.
so, he quickly reacted and asked,”what do you want to ask?” as long as i know it, i’ll definitely tell you.”
“… but the prerequisite is that you let me live!”
the gray-haired man straightened his neck and pretended to be stern.
it was not a good thing to be too weak or too flattering.
only by taking an intermediate value to show his cleverness and sincerity could he possibly exchange a bargaining chip for a bargaining chip.
he could give up everything now and only seek temporary self-preservation.
as for the future, he would think about it after he survived.
“this guy … has he guessed our identity …”
bai wushang was also observing the gray-haired man’s expression, and he thought to himself.
since he knew in advance that he would encounter a wild dog, it would definitely be a battle of life and death.
therefore, everyone carefully kept their academy emblems and didn’t directly expose their identities.
this action had very limited practical use.
after all, the other party had killed many students and survived until now.
as for shanhai college, they definitely had a certain amount of information. they were not a bunch of brainless people.
however, even if there was only a slight effect, it would be beneficial to the team if they could catch the enemy off guard or give them some additional psychological pressure.
“first question, how did you find the ruins and where did you come in from?”
jiang feng asked in a deep voice while riding on the snow lion’s back.
the gray-haired man didn’t buy it. he rolled his eyes and said with determination, ”
” i’ll say the same thing again. you must ensure my survival before i can trade information with you. ”
“otherwise, if i tell you everything, you’ll kill me in the blink of an eye. what’s the point?”
a faint trace of ridicule flashed across an xiaorou’s eyes as she snorted, ”
“you want a promise?”
“with your status as a member of the wild dog mercenary group, you dare to make promises? you’ve done a lot of things like taking advantage of others and going back on your word, right?”
the gray-haired man braced himself and argued, ”
“if i’m going to die either way, why should i say it? moreover, do you really believe what i say? do you dare to believe it completely? that can’t be.”
“i can swear on my pet, on everything of master!”
“as long as you give me a way out, i’ll tell you everything i know. i guarantee that all the information is true.”
” i won’t dare to cause you any trouble in the future. i’ll leave the endless sand region and the great gan lord dynasty … ”
at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the gray-haired man’s chest. ”
“report the situation outside the door. is there anything unusual?” he asked.
this was the message transmitted from the communication talisman.
it was obviously a man, full of spirit and a little cold.
he wasn’t just communicating, he was giving orders, and there was an unquestionable sense of toughness.
the atmosphere fell into a brief dead silence.
many pairs of eyes, some expressionless, some with killing intent, were all focused on the gray-haired man.
as long as he made a move, he would try to struggle and resist.
facing him would definitely be a very miserable ending.
a drop of cold sweat rolled down the gray-haired man’s forehead.
he pursed his dry lips, swallowed his saliva, and explained with difficulty, ”
“this news … i have to go back. otherwise, the boss will immediately notice that something is wrong outside …”
“just reply normally.”
the corner of sobina’s mouth rose, and she said nonchalantly, ”
” remember, you can expose our existence, but i can guarantee that you will die an ugly death. ”
“don’t worry …”
the gray-haired man took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. he injected his soul power into the recording device and said,
” report, everything is normal outside the door. we killed a few wandering insects and there are no abnormalities. ”
“i know.”
the communication talisman responded very quickly. it was extremely indifferent, without any additional emotions.
“see, this is enough to show my sincerity, right?”
the gray-haired man’s heart slowly fell and he forced a smile, ”
“although i’m one of the wild dogs, we’re all here for the money.”
“above money, what’s more important is life!”
” as long as you give me a chance, i’ll give you all the information i have, even if it means betraying my teammates! ”
he shamelessly expressed his attitude.
jiang feng and xue zilin looked at each other. the latter landed on the ground and said expressionlessly, ”
“alright, as the team leader, i agree to your request.”
“i swear on my pet and my soul power. if i go against my words, i will not make any progress for the rest of my life!”
this was a very vicious oath.
for masters, oaths had no actual binding power. they were only verbal.
however, if he really went against the rules, it would leave a psychological trauma and reduce the trust level of his pet.
any master who sought perfection and pursued the path of supremacy would not easily make such a poisonous oath.
this would, to a certain extent, affect one’s belief in being strong and lower one’s future chances.
the gray-haired man revealed a hint of joy, but he was still apprehensive. he said unyieldingly,
” is it not enough for you alone? the others should also … ”
before he could finish his sentence, xue zilin’s cold eyebrows rose and he ruthlessly interrupted,
“you’re not qualified to talk about conditions!”
“we don’t necessarily need the so-called intelligence!”
” if you continue to talk nonsense, i have reason to suspect that you are stalling for time. in that case, i can only ask you to go on your way! ”
