Unfortunately, all miracles had a reason. Mina’s dying flash was to poison Guo Si, but it was destined to be impossible. It was impossible for her to wake up and accept Shi Hao’s party invitation. There was absolutely no possibility! But could it be that everyone should helplessly watch their favorite Mina passing? That was something everyone was unwilling to do.
However, what could everyone here do? If anyone had a way, than it might only be Arnold! It can only be Arnold! Only Arnold!
“I have a way!” Arnold firmly stared at Shi Hao while tightly holding Mina’s little hand. They already didn’t have much time. In this situation, Arnold wouldn’t make a joke. Since Arnold said that he had a way, then there must be a way. But what was the way?
At this moment, Arnold explained in short. He directly yelled four words, Striped Stone Village Chief!
Yes, Striped Stone Village Chief. As long as Shi Hao became the Village Chief of Striped Stone Village, all the villagers of Striped Stone Village would automatically be counted as Shi Hao’s subordinates and they would automatically be included in Shi Hao’s party. This was a default setting of the system. Without a doubt, it was absolutely feasible! Mina was undoubtedly a villager of Striped Stone Village! Therefore, as matters stand, the answer to this problem was Striped Stone Village Chief.
However, at this point, there were still some difficulties! What difficulties? How to become Striped Stone Village Chief.
In fact, Shi Hao, who was the Village Chief of Twin Dragons Village and Fire Dragon Village, was very clear about this. If he wanted to become the Village Chief of Striped Stone Village, then it was definitely not so simple. If the village already had a village chief, then one should either forcibly destroy the Council Hall and establish a new village or the original village chief should take the initiative to back down. In case the village already didn’t have a village chief, there was only one way to become the new village chief, which was to gain the support of more than half of the villagers.
Therefore, at this moment, more than half of the villagers must collectively swear allegiance to Shi Hao! Only then, Shi Hao could become the Striped Stone Village’s Village Chief and save Mina. But could anyone achieve such a thing right away? Who can? Arnold can! Yes, because of this, everything was up to Arnold now!
Arnold shouted loudly: “Everyone! Listen to my orders and inform all the villagers in the village. We will support the new Village Chief, and let the new Village Chief heal Mina. Let us collectively pledge allegiance to…”
Arnold looked at Shi Hao, and Shi Hao understood and shouted: “My name is Shake the Heaven!”
Arnold yelled again: “Let us collectively pledge allegiance to Shake the Heaven! Everyone, one minute, one minute later, we all will pledge together. Quickly go!”
Arnold’s subordinates didn’t dare to waste even one second. Whether it was for Arnold’s instruction or Mina’s cuteness, they wouldn’t waste any time.
However, Arnold didn’t move. He stayed here not only to stay beside Mina, but also to confirm what kind of person this Shake the Heaven was!
Arnold stared at Shi Hao and said: “If you can’t save Mina after you became the Village Chief, I’ll be the first person to betray Striped Stone Village and swear to kill you. I know you are a player and you can resurrect. But don’t even think about leaving this place.”
One had to say that Arnold’s threat was very strong. After all, Arnold truly had the strength to kill Shi Hao. Shi Hao was just level 15, but Arnold was level 70. It was absolutely impossible to make up this gap with Soul of the Warrior and Shadow Dragon Soul. Arnold just needed one move to kill Shi Hao. The only way for Shi Hao to survive against Arnold was to use slow debuff (Cloud Mist Beast), and run away on Cloud Mist Beast. However, whether he could return to the continent or not was hard to say.
Fortunately, Shi Hao was absolutely sure that his Water Cloud Sword could cure Mina. Therefore, Shi Hao didn’t need to worry too much.
Shi Hao responded: “Don’t worry, if Mina dies, then have me buried with her.”
Shi Hao’s words were bold. However, Arnold frowned, thinking, bury with her? Is this Shake the Heaven also interested in Mina? Does this player have thoughts on NPC? Arnold had doubts. But whatever he thought, it was only worthwhile after Shi Hao saved Mina.
Soon, one minute passed, and in the lifeless Striped Stone Village, sounds of vows resounded one after another. The villagers of Striped Stone Village made a vow in unison: “I! I make a vow here, I’m willing to pledge allegiance to the new Village Chief of Striped Stone Village, Shake the Heaven. May Heaven pity us and fulfill my wish! Let Village Chief Shi save Mina for us.”
Boom! The system responded. The resounding oaths of all people in Striped Stone Village had been recognized by the system!
At this moment, Mina was already included in Shi Hao’s party automatically, and with the buff of Shi Hao’s Soul of the Warrior and Shadow Dragon Soul, Mina’s state instantly recovered greatly. Upon seeing this, Arnold was greatly surprised. He instantly noticed the abnormal aspect of Shi Hao, and he was overjoyed because he was 90% sure that Shake the Heaven would be able to save Mina!
Excitement flashed through Arnold’s eyes as he asked loudly: “Lord Village Chief, now, what should we do to save Mina? Even if I have to go through the mountain of knives or an oil boiler, as long as you give me instructions, I’ll get it done right away. We cannot delay any longer!”
Although Arnold’s heart was a bit calmer, after all, Mina could at least hold on for a while longer, he was still worried. She, after all, was poisoned, which was a continuous HP loss debuff. If it was not completely removed, Mina would still die after a while.
But Shi Hao just put back Water Cloud Sword and had a strange smile on his face. Just a second before Arnold spoke, he had already used Power of Water Cloud. Although it was not obvious when the Power of water Cloud was used, if one had looked carefully, one could still see that blue light had flickered a few times on Water Cloud Sword.
Merely, Arnold’s attention was focused on Mina alone. He didn’t notice these small details. He didn’t know that Mina had already recovered.
Heh Heh, however, crafty Shi Hao naturally saw through Arnold’s carelessness in an instant. Haha! Time change, it’s my turn now. In the past, didn’t you block the portal to find me? Who asked you to be bad and willfully dominate the world? If you hadn’t blocked me in the past, then how would this happen?
An excellent idea appeared on Shi Hao’s mind. He then pretended to worry and said: “I can save Mina! Merely, we delayed it for too long. Now, you must exchange a life for a life, are you willing? You don’t have to be suspicious of my abilities. Look! I have already suppressed the condition of Mina. She is not in danger for the time being. I think you can also understand these things!”
Arnold nodded. He believed in Shi Hao’s words. Although Arnold didn’t exactly know what poisonous dragon beast’s poison was, based on Guo Si’s action, he was absolutely sure that being able to instantly suppress the poison in Mina’s body was incredible! Moreover, Around still felt that Shi Hao was interested in Mina, so he had no reason to not believe in Shi Hao’s words.
Unfortunately, he didn’t expect that Shi Hao had already seen through his mentality. It had to be said that one shouldn’t play mental games with Shi Hao. Even a certain person called Sea manager or Uncle Sea lost a Full Leveled Experience Card all because he played mental games with Shi Hao. Haha! Play, let’s play!
Arnold resolutely said: “I’m willing! Use my life to exchange for Mina’s life.”
Oh! Very good! Very good! Very good! I truly admire you. By the way, I’m sorry, counting the time, Mina should be awake by now. Arnold, it’s okay, just keep talking, don’t stop, keep talking.
Shi Hao smiled inwardly…
