Chapter 1412 The Book of Life and Death, Fooling Wu Gang (3)
"Why do you care?" Wu Gang growled. "Give me the Book of Life and Death. Otherwise, I"ll destroy this place even if I have to risk my life!"
Wu Gang"s eyes were full of madness, and his aura became even more violent.
Crack!
Cracks began to appear on the ground. A violent wind surged, sweeping up trees and rocks within a radius of thousands of feet…
Wu Gang should be the strongest person Zhou Shu had ever faced. No wonder he had almost killed Zhan Jingtao in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
No wonder he could stop the Xuan Ming Black Emperor in the previous battle.
If w.a.n.g E had such strength… Zhou Shu sighed in his heart.
Although w.a.n.g E was a little troublesome, he was easier to deal with than Wu Gang.
Wu Gang was like a time bomb that might explode at any moment.
If not for the fact that he was strong enough, Zhou Shu really wanted to chase him out of the ancestral land.
But even if Zhou Shu wanted to chase him out, he might not be able to do it.
Did he invite a wolf into his house?
Zhou Shu laughed at himself. He looked at Wu Gang calmly. "Brother Wu, calm down first. Everything can be discussed…"
"Calm down?! Why should I calm down?!" Wu Gang roared. "I gave up everything, but she died. What"s the point of me calming down?!
"I only want the Book of Life and Death! Give me the Book of Life and Death, and I"ll do anything for you!"
Zhou Shu frowned as if he had thought of something.
He felt that if he said that he didn"t have the Book of Life and Death now, Wu Gang might collapse.
Once such an expert lost control, it would be equivalent to a nuclear explosion in his previous life.
If things went wrong, the human race, which had just obtained a victory, might face the crisis of destruction again.
"Brother Wu, the Book of Life and Death is indeed in my hands, but it"s seriously damaged and can"t be used at this time," Zhou Shu said seriously. "To be honest, I"m a forger."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "I"m repairing the Book of Life and Death. It won"t be long before I can complete it.
"Brother Wu, you"ve already waited for so many years. What"s the harm in waiting a few more years?
"I promise you that once I finish repairing the Book of Life and Death, I will lend it to you immediately. How about that?"
Zhou Shu"s face was full of sincerity. How could he not have some acting skills in order to survive in this world?
"If you mess around like a headless fly now, it won"t help at all. Instead, it might backfire."
Zhou Shu said sincerely, "Brother Wu, if I were you, I would definitely help repair the Book of Life and Death as soon as possible. Only then will you be able to fulfill your long-cherished wish."
Wu Gang"s aura froze. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face, and his expression kept changing.
After a full fifteen minutes, Wu Gang finally began to gradually restrain his aura.
A fierce look flashed across his eyes. "I"ll believe you this once. If you dare to lie to me, the Heavenly Court and all of you will be destroyed!"
"Why would I lie to you? What good will it do me to lie to you?" Zhou Shu said sincerely.
But he didn"t care in his heart. So what if I lied to you? In a few days, I can suppress you with a flip of my hand. Now that you"re in my hands, do you think you can turn the world upside down?
Wu Gang snorted. "Hmph, tell me. How can I help you repair the Book of Life and Death?"
"The Book of Life and Death is not an ordinary divine weapon," Zhou Shu said seriously. "It"s a divine artifact of connate evolution from the beginning of the world."
Zhou Shu didn"t know what the Book of Life and Death was at all, but he just repeated what he had heard from w.a.n.g E.
"It"s definitely not easy to repair it," Zhou Shu continued. "My forging skills are pa.s.sable, but as the saying goes, you can"t make bricks without straw…"
"I understand." Wu Gang looked much smarter than w.a.n.g E. He interrupted Zhou Shu and said, "If you need any forging materials, make a list for me. I"ll go find them!"
I like your att.i.tude, Zhou Shu thought. Wu Gang is too unstable. He might erupt from time to time.
It was unrealistic to expect him to guard the ancestral land like w.a.n.g E.
But it would be a waste not to use such an expert.
Getting him to find forging materials for himself was making the best use of him.
Zhou Shu remembered that Wu Gang had said before that he knew of a place with many heavenly treasures.
"Brother Wu, the forging materials needed to repair the Book of Life and Death are…" Zhou Shu recited the names of at least a thousand forging materials as if he was announcing the names of the dishes. "I only need these forging materials for the time being. As for the quant.i.ty, the more, the better."
A look of suspicion flashed across Wu Gang"s face. "Do you need so many forging materials to repair the Book of Life and Death?"
"Brother Wu, you"re not a forger, so you might not understand," Zhou Shu said seriously. "The Book of Life and Death is a divine artifact of connate evolution from the beginning of the world. Do you think it will be easy to repair it?
"This is just the minimum requirement. I"ve collected forging materials for countless years myself. Repairing divine weapons consumes forging materials.
"If anything happens in between, I"ll have to start all over again, and I"ll need even more forging materials."
Wu Gang frowned and was silent for a moment before saying, "Alright, leave the forging materials to me. You just need to repair the Book of Life and Death with peace of mind. I"ll find all the forging materials for you."
Zhou Shu sighed. "I also want to repair the Book of Life and Death in peace. Apart from the problem of forging materials, the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom has been eyeing us covetously and might invade our ancestral land at any time. I can"t sit back and do nothing."
"Don"t worry about the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom!" A fierce look flashed across Wu Gang"s eyes. "For the next ten years, the Black Emperor won"t dare to step into the ancestral land. I can guarantee it."
Zhou Shu was delighted. Wu Gang was a ruthless person who could restrain the Black Emperor. He definitely wasn"t just saying without reason.
Zhou Shu could even imagine what Wu Gang would do.
It seemed that the Book of Life and Death was much more important to Wu Gang than he had imagined.
He wondered how Wu Gang would react when he realized that the Book of Life and Death was not in his hands. But by then, his strength should have already surpa.s.sed Wu Gang"s.
