Chapter 53
Tang Mo handed the shoe polish he had obtained from the shoe polish wolf to the Iron Shoemaker.
The Iron Shoemaker looked at this drop of shoe polish was a very bored expression. It seemed he wasn't happy to see the shoe polish that Tang Mo found. He took the shoe polish and the shoe polish swung back and forth in his huge palm. He weighed it for a moment and grunted."I didn't expect you to really find a drop of shoe polish. But this is just a drop of shoe polish, a drop! Where is my shoe polish?"
Tang Mo turned to look at Xing Feng in the corner.
Xing Feng hadn't explained all the contents of the instance. He saw Tang Mo's cold stare and hurriedly said, "This is the Iron Shoemaker's shoe polish but... it can't be reused. Killing the shoe polish wolf only gets you one drop. It will be used up. Once the shoemaker leaves, he will come back in three hours for more shoe polish."
"Yes!" The Iron Shoemaker swung his chain and caused a crack in the wall. He glared fiercely at Tang Mo."Humans are the best friends of the Iron Shoemaker and want to help me find the shoe polish. This shoe polish is too lacking. It can only repair a pair of shoes. I am the best shoemaker in the Underground Kingdom. I repair countless pairs of shoes every day. This shoe polish is not enough!"
Tang Mo's eyes swept over the wall in the wall. Then he looked at the Iron Shoemaker."What is your shoe polish?"
Asking the Iron Shoemaker this question was clearly meaningless. If the Iron Shoemaker knew where the shoe polish was right now, he would find it without needed this reality instance. Of course, Tang Mo couldn't rule out that he was deliberately teasing the players in order to eat them.
Xing Feng said that the shoe polish was in the instance. If it wasn't here with Tang Mo, it must be with Fu Wenduo. He only needed to know what the shoe polish was and it could be found.
The Iron Shoemaker was dissatisfied."You don't even know what the shoe polish is. How dare you say you will help me find the shoe polish? You human, this isn't shoe polish!" The Iron Shoemaker showed the black shoe polish in his palm to Tang Mo."Hurry and find my shoe polish! I'll come back here in three hours. If you don't find my shoe polish..."
A sinister smile appeared on the Iron Shoemaker's face. He gulped, took the drop of shoe polish Tang Mo had given him and left the office. After a moment, his heavy footsteps disappeared down the hallway. Tang Mo immediately went out to see. The Iron Shoemaker had disappeared into thin air and the door of the factory still wasn't open.
Tang Mo carefully examined the other offices and they didn't change.
When Tang Mo returned to the office, he took the light stone out from the door and looked at Xing Feng in the corner.
The skinny player trembled. He didn't need Tang Mo to speak as he hurriedly cried out, "I will tell you, I'll tell you everything! This is a game to find the shoe polish. Every three hours, the Iron Shoemaker will appear and ask if you have found the shoe polish. If you haven't found the real shoe polish, you can temporarily replace it with the shoe polish wolf's inferior shoe polish. But the number of shoe polish wolves will increase by one every three hours. The Iron Shoemaker will also ask for one extra drop of shoe polish every time. So after three hours, there will be two shoe polish wolves and then the Iron Shoemaker will ask for two drops of shoe polish."
Tang Mo thought for a while, "What if you don't have the shoe polish?"
It doesn't matter if he couldn't find the real shoe polish since he could replace it with the inferior shoe polish. But what happened if he didn't kill a sufficient number of shoe polish wolves (the shoe polish wolf disappeared after five minutes)?
Xing Feng seemed to think of something terrible and his dry eyes became bigger.
Tang Mo asked again, "What will happen?"
Xing Feng trembled and hugged himself where he had a hole in his body."...If the number of shoe polish drops isn't enough, your blood will be used as the shoe polish."
Tang Mo's eyes narrowed.
One hour later, the computer screen lit up again and Tang Mo hurriedly pressed the accept button.
Fu Wenduo's face appeared on the screen and Tang Mo was stunned when he saw him.
This man looked like he had just come out of the water. His hair was wet, a few bundles falling over his forehead. Even his clothes were wet and sticking to his body. A drop of water fell from Fu Wenduo's chin and hit the ground. He stretched out a hand and pushed back the wet hair from his forehead, revealing tough and dark eyes.
Tang Mo received a few injuries when fighting the shoe polish wolf but his physical fitness was good. The wound on his cheek had already half healed and there was only a shallow impression. On the other hand, Fu Wenduo didn't have any injuries. However, it was the first time Tang Mo saw this person... look so miserable. He couldn't actually be miserable but Tang Mo didn't expect this man to be so embarrassed.
"Tang Mo?"
His surprised look was noticed by the other person. Tang Mo coughed and changed the topic. He didn't waste any time and talked about what he had just experienced."...So I have already passed the first 'three hours. ' In another two hours, I will have to face two shoe polish wolves and kill them in five minutes. I can't use my ability and props but I can still deal with two shoe polish wolves." It wasn't easy to say anything more. Tang Mo continued, "What did you encounter?"
"The Happy Q&A."
Tang Mo asked, "What?"
Fu Wenduo explained calmly."It is similar to a quiz shoe. The host askes me some strange questions. I don't know how many questions there are in total and I don't know what rewards will be given. But I will be punished when I get a question wrong. I just made a mistake in the second question and my punishment was to be washed by a flood for an hour."
Tang Mo understood why this man looked like this. But he wanted to know something else."What are the contents of your game and what is the connection with the shoe polish?" Tang Mo's game had something to do with the shoe polish. However, Fu Wenduo was participating in a quiz game that had no relationship with the mission?
Fu Wenduo looked up at him."It really is related to the mission. I answered three questions."
Tang Mo listen carefully.
The first question asked me about who in the black tower loves to tease stowaways the most. I guessed right. The second question is about who eats the most stowaways in the Monster World. I have heard the name Grandmother Wolf from your mouth. I chose it but the correct answer was the Big Mole."
Tang Mo was surprised."The Big Mole?"
Fu Wenduo realized."Have you seen this monster?"
Tang Mo nodded."I received Momo from it."
"The host explained that it eats the most stowaways because it is relatively low in the Monster World. Right now, not many players have cleared the black tower and aren't qualified to see the other three monsters. The other three monsters are also very interested in eating stowaways but the Big Mole encounters the most stowaways. It ate 163 stowaways just last week alone."
It would be hard for event Tang Mo to correctly answer this question."What is the third question?'
"The third question." A wisp of wet hair slipped down onto Fu Wenduo's forehead."It asked what thing has every player in the world seen? A. Cinderella's Crystal Shoe. B. Santa's sleigh. C. King's Gold Coin. D...." Fu Wenduo gazed at Tang Mo."The Iron Shoemaker's Shoe Polish."
Tang Mo calmly analyzed."The answer is D."
"Yes."
The answer must be D. It could only be D.
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo had never seen the crystal shoes. The two of them had seen the sleigh. But even on Christmas Eve, not all players saw Santa and his sleigh. As for the King's Gold Coin, Pinocchio used it to deceive Tang Mo's group. This didn't mean the deception would be used for every Christmas Even instance.
It could only be the Iron Shoemaker's Shoe Polish.
It must be the shoe polish, because Fu Wenduo's participation in the game was related to the shoe polish.
Tang Mo said, "This quiz game is probably to provide you with clues to find the shoe polish. Then there is a 70% chance the shoe polish is over here. You provide the clues, I find the shoe polish. The first clue is that every player in the world has seen the Iron Shoemaker's shoe polish."
Even Tang Mo felt that this sentence was incredible.
The black tower was something that wasn't seen by everyone. Some players avoided looking at it due to hatred and other reasons. Some hid in the deep forests to escape the world. Why did the black tower dare say that every player in the world had seen the shoemaker's shoe polish?
"The Iron Shoemaker's shoe polish must be something that exists on Earth." Tang Mo analyzed."Otherwise, it is impossible for humans to see it. I will try to search the food processing factor in two hours and see if I can find anything that meets the requirements."
Fu Wenduo nodded."My Q&A game has entered the advertisement time. Two hours later, the fourth question will appear."
Tang Mo looked at Fu Wenduo on the screen. After a long time, he said, "Mr. Fu, I will now tell you everything I know about the black tower."
Fu Wenduo's lips curved. Due to the wetness, his hair continued to fall uncontrollably. He reached out a hand and smoothed back his falling hair. He nodded."Good."
Some things didn't need to be pointed out. Tang Mo knew that he should tell the information he knew.
This game involved cooperation between the two parties. Fu Wenduo's failure was Tang Mo's failure. If Fu Wenduo failed, forget about his death. Tang Mo wouldn't be able to get information about the shoe polish. Tang Mo must tell everything that he knew, not just for Fu Wenduo's sake but for Tang Mo himself.
After 15 minutes, the two people ended the call.
Tang Mo went into the food processing factory to search for something that every player in the world would've seen.
The food processing plant covered an area of around 2, 000 square metres. Tang Mo used the glowing stone and carefully looked in every corner of the factor. He quickly started his investigation from the east corner of the factory. On the easternmost wall was the staff lockers. He opened every cabinet and then looked down.
The range of things that all humans had seen was still too wide.
Apart from humans who were blind, people see water, sunshine, the air (they couldn't really see it but it existed). The sun and air weren't very realistic. Tang Mo found a half empty bottle of water in an employee's locker. He looked for a moment before placing the bottle into the plastic bag he just picked up.
Tang Mo searched for a while. He saw a few pots of succulent plants on the window sill of the factory.
In the moonlight, these potted plants had long withered and yellowed. Tang Mo dug up some dirt, put it in his plastic bag and continued to search.
At the end of the two hour countdown, Tang Mo had checked one-third of the factory. He heard a dull knocking sound coming from behind the door of another office.
The shoe polish wolves had appeared.
Tang Mo quickly placed the plastic bag in his hand into a drawer and pulled out the small fruit knife he had found in an employee's locker. His body was full of biscuit and candy crumbs, which he deliberately stuck to his body to prevent the shoe polish wolves from noticing his whereabouts, if they were as sensitive as real wolves.
Tang Mo held the fruit knife and walked step by step into the office area.
In that office, the two shoe polish wolves were very clever. They cooperated with each other and took turns to hit the office door. The entire wall shook with every hit.
The sound of the thumps echoed in the empty and quiet factory building.
Tang Mo walked to the edge of the office area. He stood against the wall, listening to the movements inside the door. After four or five more hits, there was a fierce breaking sound and then howls. Two wolves emerged, their claws hitting against the ground and green eyes exploring the darkness, looking for traces of a human.
Tang Mo hid his body behind the wall. The two fierce wolves were two metres away from him.
The two wolves searched patiently. Suddenly, Xing Feng accidentally touched something in the innermost office. It fell to the ground and made a loud noise.
The two wolves roared and rushed to the office.
At the same time, Tang Mo rushed out behind the wolves at the fastest speed. The two wolves heard him and hurriedly wanted to turn around to attack him. However, their bodies were leaping through the air and they couldn't turn. Tang Mo waved the sharp fruit knife to the back of a wolf's neck.
The wolf held out its claws at the critical junction, blocking Tang Mo's knife.
Bang!
The wolf fell to the ground and blood flowed. One of its paws were cut by Tang Mo and it wanted to stand up. The other wolf roared at Tang Mo and rushed over. Tang Mo slashed while avoiding the sharp claws.
The wolf's legs were lowered close to the ground and its eyes were staring at Tang Mo. It suddenly burst forward while Tang Mo evaded sideways. Who would've expected the injured wolf to rush from the rear, taking the opportunity to bite Tang Mo's arm. Tang Mo kicked the wolf. The shoe polish wolf tore off a piece of flesh and fell in the distance.
Blood poured down Tang Mo's arm.
The shoe polish wolf ate the piece of flesh before continuing to look at Tang Mo.
The two wolves rushed together, attacking Tang Mo from two directions. Tang Mo was already ignoring the pain from his arm. He constantly waved the fruit knife, blocked the wolves' sharp claws. The two sides were entangled for a moment. There were a few back and forth but it only took a minute.
After all, one wolf was injured and couldn't use one leg. Tang Mo took advantage of it not being able to balance properly and stabbed the wolf's chest, piercing its heart. At the same time, he turned to avoid the sneak attack of the other wolf. He stretched out a hand and grabbed the wolf's neck.
The shoe polish wolf struggled. Tang Mo used all of his strength to break the last wolf's neck.
The bodies of the two wolves fell to the ground and turned into two drops of shoe polish. Tang Mo's right arm had stopped bleeding but the bite still hadn't recovered. His left leg also had a piece of flesh bitten off it. He picked up the fruit knife that had fallen to the ground, calmed his breathing and walked into the office.
In the office, Xing Feng was pale with fright and curled up under the table. He crawled out once he saw that Tang Mo had come back. He saw the two drops of shoe polish in Tang Mo's hands and cried out with disbelief, "You really... one person really killed two shoe polish wolves!"
Tang Mo looked at him.
Xing Feng retracted his neck."You don't... don't misunderstand. I am just surprised that you can actually kill two shoe polish wolves without being hurt. I used to attack the shoe polish wolves with a player and it was hard for us to kill just one. We couldn't deal with two shoe polish wolves. We only killed one in five minutes and had a hand bitten off by the other."
Compared to losing a hand, Tang Mo had two pieces of flesh bit off and some scratches.
Tang Mo asked, "The other player lost their hand?"
Xing Feng nodded.
Tang Mo touched the fruit knife in his pocket and looked at Xing Feng lightly, "How did the other two people die?"
Xing Feng's facial expression changed before he said, "They were drained of blood by the Iron Shoemaker and died. Every time a new player enters, the amount of shoe polish that the Iron Shoemaker requires will be reset to the beginning as well as the shoe polish wolves. But if this is the case, we can't beat the shoe polish wolf and... we can't find the real shoe polish. We endured the second time but for the third time, we couldn't give the Iron Shoemaker three drops of shoe polish."
Xing Feng trembled with fear as he spoke."There wasn't enough shoe polish so the Iron Shoemaker said... he would take out blood as replacement. Then he pierced our bodies with the nail. Look at these holes in my paint." Xing Feng revealed them."These holes are all from him! His nails will absorb our blood. One drop of shoe polish is around one-tenth of our body's blood, which is 400CC. We can withstand one drop of shoe polish. However, later we couldn't beat so many shoe polish wolves and couldn't even obtain one drop of shoe polish. The Iron Shoemaker will such the blood from out body. If we can't prove enough inferior shoe polish twice in a row, the Iron Shoemaker will also go to the other side and suck the blood of the players there.
Tang Mo thought about the three dead bodies that Fu Wenduo described.
The Iron Shoemaker must've had their blood sucked up by the nail.
However...
Tang Mo asked, "Why are you still alive?"
Xing Feng's breathing stopped.
According to Xing Feng, he was the first one to enter this instance. It was reasonable to say that he should be the one to have his blood sucked out by the Iron Shoemaker first. His physical condition also wasn't good. Why did the other two players die before him and why was he the only one still alive?
Xing Feng refused to answer.
Tang Mo pulled out the fruit knife and slammed it into the thick and solid wooden table.
Xing Feng jumped with fright while Tang Mo stared at him coldly.
Xing Feng opened his mouth after a long time and said fearfully, "I...I will tell you all of it. Because... it is because I hide some shoe polish. The body losing 400CC of blood isn't a problem. I used to be a doctor so I know. Right now, all of us have our physical fitness improved. We might not be able to recover all of the 400CC in three hours but we can recover enough to have no impact on our actions. Therefore, I didn't give the Iron Shoemaker the shoe polish the first time and replaced it with 400CC of blood. After that, I would save a bit more shoe polish every time. In addition... other players entered and we fought the shoe polish wolf together. Because I entered the game first, I knew the black tower didn't give a prompt. I told them that killing the two shoe polish wolves will only give one drop of shoe polish. No one doubted me..."
Xing Feng closed his mouth at Tang Mo's cold eyes.
Xing Feng felt a bit embarrassed. He hit in a corner and tried to make Tang Mo not notice him.
After a moment, Tang Mo asked, "How much shoe polish do you have left?"
Xing Feng shivered as he whispered, "No, no... I have no shoe polish left."
Tang Mo no longer pursued this matter. He sat in the chair and said casually."What you said is very reasonable. Losing 400CC of blood doesn't have much impact on people. For a player, losing 800CC of blood shouldn't be a big problem."
Xing Feng raised his head and blankly stared at Tang Mo. He didn't understand why Tang Mo was saying this.
"From now on, I will save a bit of shoe polish too."
Xing Feng's eyes widened.
Tang Mo folded his arm with a calm expression."This time, I will save a drop of shoe polish and allow the Iron Shoemaker to draw 400CC of blood."
Xing Feng didn't understand at all."With your strength, there is no need for blood to be drawn."
"Who said he was going to draw my blood?" Tang Mo slightly tilted his head and smiled."He will pump your blood."
Xing Feng's eyes widened.
Five minutes later, Tang Mo gave two drops of shoe polish to the Iron Shoemaker.
The Iron Shoemaker muttered angrily, "These shoe polish wolves are really rubbish!" When he finished, he looked at Tang Mo and Xing Feng again."All of you are really useless. Listen to me and quickly find my shoe polish! Otherwise, I want three drops of inferior shoe polish next time. If you can't bring it out, I will use your blood to replace it instead!"
The Iron Shoemaker dragged his heavy chains and left the factory.
After he left, Tang Mo took out two drops of shoe polish from his pocket. This was what Xing Feng had just handed him. In order to save his life and to beg Tang Mo to let him live for a while, Xing Feng gave Tang Mo two drops of shoe polish.
The old player really had hidden things. He had hidden the two drops of shoe polish in the coffee cup on the desk. The cup was full of brown-black coffee. Tang Mo didn't think that two drops of shoe polish would unexpectedly be hidden in there. Even so, he didn't know if this was all the shoe polish that Xing Feng had hidden. Perhaps more shoe polish was hidden in the small refrigerator or the soil in the pot.
This player not only had a sinister mind, he was ruthless to himself. He balanced on the tip of a knife every time shoe polish was needed. The holes in his body were indeed caused by the Iron Shoemaker's nail. He would only give a certain amount of shoe polish at a time. As long as the Iron Shoemaker drawing blood didn't risk his life, he wouldn't give all his shoe polish.
Xing Feng was still useful (as a spare blood bank) to Tang Mo, otherwise he wouldn't be kept around. But now he was always vigilant towards the other person.
After the Iron Shoemaker left, Tang Mo waited a few minutes for Fu Wenduo's video call.
This time Fu Wenduo won and didn't look as embarrassed as last time.
The two people didn't waste time and simply exchanged information. Tang Mo asked, "What clue did you get this time?"
Fu Wenduo replied, "Why is the Iron Shoemaker so poor?"
Tang Mo frowned."It is because the shoe polish wolves love to steal shoe polish. That is what the black tower said."
"Yes." Fu Wenduo replied."But this was my sixth question. It asked what was one of the top 10 mysterious of the Underground World. The answer was why the Iron Shoemaker was so poor."
Tang Mo thought for a moment."This sentence is definitely a clue. The shoe polish wolf loves to eat shoe polish. The black tower told us this once and used a clue to remind us again. The fact that this was mentioned twice means we shouldn't ignore this clue."
Fu Wenduo asked, "What did you find?"
Tang Mo took out the plastic bag."Water and soil. I showed these things to the Iron Shoemaker. He didn't respond so these things aren't the shoe polish."
The two of them were deep in thought.
After a long time, Tang Mo spoke."Is it blood?"
The thing that every people in the world would've seen. From the moment of birth, every child would see blood. It was their mother's blood.
The shoe polish wolves loved to eat. Just after biting off a piece of Tang Mo's flesh, the wolf couldn't wait to eat this piece of meat.
"Blood?" Fu Wenduo repeated it again.
Tang Mo denied this answer himself."If it is blood, the Iron Shoemaker has already received blood and he wouldn't say that the shoe polish hasn't been found."
Fu Wenduo asked, "Did you see the Iron Shoemaker get a player's blood?"
Tang Mo was startled. He slowly turned to look at Xing Feng in the corner. The latter shrank back in the corner.
Tang Mo once again looked at Fu Wenduo and smiled."You are right. Next time I have to see the Iron Shoemaker take human blood himself."
After hanging up the call, Fu Wenduo's stiff body fell back. He reached for the wall to steady his body.
In a place where Tang Mo couldn't see, there was a 10cm long scratch on the right leg. The wound was too deep and cut his hamstring.
He was unable to use his ability so this injury healed very slowly. Fu Wenduo raised his hand and rubbed his temple. After 30 minutes, the hamstring healed as the wound slowly closed.
On the small TV, Wang Xiaotian appeared on the screen.
"The advertisement time is over. Hello everyone, I am your favourite sweet host, Wang Xiaotian! It is once again time for the Happy Q&A. Wow, great. Although Player Fu's answer to the fifth question was wrong, he persevered through the 'one hour wind knife' punishment. Could Player Fu be the first player in the history of the Underground Kingdom to pass the Happy Q&A?"
There was a burst of cheers from the audience and Wang Xiaotian smiled sweetly."There isn't much to say. We—"
"Please listen to the question!"
Three hours later, Tang Mo opened the video call. He spoke first."Blood isn't the shoe polish. The strength of the three wolves is much stronger than the two wolves. Coping with four wolves is probably my limit. Fu Wenduo, what clue did you obtain. We must find the shoe polish quickly."
Fu Wenduo looked at him in silence.
Tang Mo frowned."What's wrong?"
Fu Wenduo spoke a moment later."This time, there is no clue."
Tang Mo was stunned.
He quickly reacted and asked calmly, "What do you mean?"
"This is question 9. The Iron Shoemaker's shoe polish has which of the following qualities? A. Rare, B. Fusion, C. Dirty and smell, D. Hard." Fu Wenduo paused."I chose C and I was wrong. It isn't dirty and it can't be rare. Tang Mo, the shoe polish is either 'fusion' or 'hard. ' That is the third clue."
Tang Mo clenched his fingers.
The video hung up again and the situation on the other side couldn't be known. Tang Mo held the table with one hand and finally stabilized his body, not letting himself fall. Blood stained his clothes and there was a shocking wound that was 15cm long across his abdomen.
After facing the three shoe polish wolves, Tang Mo's abdomen was cut and it hadn't yet fully healed.
Tang Mo was unable to use props and couldn't use the Earthworm's Tear to heal the wound.
Three wolves gave him such a big problem. If he had to face four wolves or five wolves...
Tang Mo settled his expression and firmly looked in front.
Meanwhile, Fu Wenduo started answering the fourth round of questions. The punishment for failing to answer started from the flooding, to the gale knife and became increasingly harsher. The 10th question was actually related to the King's Gold Coin. Fu Wenduo smoothly chose 'one opportunity to abstain from a black tower game' and solved this problem.
But then the 11th question appeared.
"Wow, this is another bad question. Tell me Director, do you have an ulterior relationship with Player Fu? All these questions... well, I want this month's salary so I won't say it." Wang Xiaotian smiled playfully and reached out in her signature action."Then... please listen to the question! What type of child does Santa like best?"
"A. Good, B. Hypocritical, C. Cunning, D. Honest."
"Player Fu can definitely answer this question. It really has no meaning. Why don't we have a more difficult question next? Hehehe, I am talking too much. The lovely Wang Xiaotian never talks about the contents. I am a good and loyal host."
Fu Wenduo's eyes moved between 'good' and 'honest' before he finally chose D.
Wang Xiaotian smiled sweetly at him."Player Fu, you don't want to change it? The answer is very subtle."
Fu Wenduo was silent.
Half a minute later, Wang Xiaotian's hands moved over her face and she said, "The answer..."
"Wrong! Since when does Santa love honest children? Santa Claus himself is very dishonest, ahaha."
Fu Wenduo's brow tightened.
Wang Xiaotian jumped up happily."Let me take at a look at the punishment for the 11th question. Wow, the punishment for the 11th question is for Player Fu to challenge Grandmother Wolf and survive for 30 minutes! Grandmother Wolf likes to eat humans the most. It doesn't matter if they are human players or from the Underground Kingdom, they are all her favourites. I really can't wait to see this challenge!"
The cheers of the audience almost blew up this small TV.
A tall creature wearing a pink dress and holding a small parasol appeared on the screen. She took small steps towards Wang Xiaotian's side. Wang Xiantian timidly took a step back before she quickly cheered herself up, "Who am I? I am the sweet host Wang Xiaotian. Since the special guest, Grandmother Wolf has come..."
The small parasol was raised and Grandmother Wolf's green eyes stared at the screen. She revealed her sharp teeth, smiling maliciously. As soon as Wang Xiaotian talked, Grandmother Wolf would rush out of the TV and eat the stowaway who made all the monsters in the Monster World drool.
However, Wang Xiaotian suddenly cried out, "Eh? Miss Turkey has sponsored 100 turkey eggs in order to skip this penalty? Let Player Fu challenge the 13th question? Is there some type of plan?" Wang Xiaotian looked up."Ah, the director has agreed. Then we have to skip this level and go straight to the 13th question. Grandmother Wolf, it is really hard on you coming all this way."
Grandmother Wolf's face suddenly blackened. But as soon as the camera focused on her, she turned into a weak and fragile appearance. She covered her big mouth and let out a bell-like laughter."It is no problem. Anyway, the punishment for the 14th question is also related to me, hehehe..."
Grandmother Wolf walked off the stage and Wang Xiaotian said."Miss Turkey wants to jump directly to the 13th question in order to let her do the punishment. She wants to fight with Player Fu and tear him to pieces. But the black tower's questions still need to be asked. Player Fu, please listen to the 12th question—"
"Where does the Iron Shoemaker's shoe polish come from?"
"A. Iron worms. B. Humans. C. Iron Shoemaker. D. Shoe Polish Wolf
"This is a good and simple question. Player Fu shouldn't get it wrong again... ah! So fast! Player Fu has already answered. He chose option B, humans! Congratulations to Player Fu. You are so quick and answered it correctly. Miss Turkey, please wait a moment. After the advertisement, it is time for you to tear Player Fu apart! Next, let's go to the advertisement..."
Fu Wenduo's hand was already on his military dagger and he was prepared to attack Grandmother Wolf.
He was unprepared for the intervention of the big turkey. But his hand still firmly held the dagger in case Grandmother Wolf appeared.
Fu Wenduo had heard from Tang Mo about the strength of Grandmother Wolf. She was a terrible monster, much worse than the big turkey or Pinocchio. She was probably at the level of Santa Claus. Fu Wenduo couldn't use his ability or his props. He had a low winning rate when facing her and probably wouldn't be able to survive 30 minutes.
Fortunately, the big turkey intervened.
Once the TV screen lit up again, Fu Wenduo's face was still very gloomy. He was thinking about the questions he encountered and Wang Xiaotian's words. This time, Fu Wenduo didn't speak. A hoarse voice came from the other side of the TV."Fu Wenduo."
The low voice made Fu Wenduo's eyes narrow and he looked up. On the TV screen, the handsome young man was gritting his teeth. HIs face was pale and his cheeks slightly red. There was a deep wound on Tang Mo's forehead and his hair was wet with blood. But his eyes were extremely bright as he stared at Fu Wenduo. There was no doubt in his eyes, only heavy recognition.
Fu Wenduo's heart thumped.
After a long time, Fu Wenduo whispered, "Where are you injured?"
"It isn't a big deal." Tang Mo answered."The shoe polish wolves will cooperate with each other. They will work together to increase their strength. This time I only killed three wolves. The last one disappeared. If there was one more wolf then I am afraid that I can't even kill two wolves. I might only be able to last one more time. So Fu Wenduo..."
Tang Mo raised his head."Have you found a clue?"
