An hour later, two women and one man walked out from the small path behind the rocks.
"Samuel."
Suzy called out and introduced: "This is Guang Bo and my sister Ying Nan."
Samuel nodded to the two 'familiar' faces, his gaze lingering on Guang Bo for a moment, then he looked at Ying Nan with interest.
It must be said, the current Ying Nan is much younger than in the movie. Well, there is a difference of about twenty years in time.
For example, the appearance at twenty and forty is definitely different.
The current Ying Nan's appearance is also quite striking.
"You have the Dragon Force?" Guang Bo scrutinized Samuel and asked in a lukewarm tone.
Samuel raised his hand noncommittally, and the Dragon Force instantly erupted.
"It is indeed the Dragon Force, and… it seems stronger than ours!" Guang Bo nodded, his attitude becoming much more enthusiastic.
Although he didn't know where he got his Dragon Force, being recognized by the Divine Dragon meant he wasn't an evil person and wouldn't be misled by the Soul-Devouring Monster.
So, he was considered half one of their own.
"I heard you can communicate with the Divine Dragon and want to eliminate the Soul-Devouring Monster?"
"Yes."
"Normally, we in Tuke do not welcome outsiders, but since you have the Dragon Force, you are qualified to enter."
"If you can truly communicate with the Divine Dragon and can completely eliminate the Soul-Devouring Monster without fail, we in Tuke will regard you as our master."
"If not, you must leave Tuke and swear never to enter Tuke again."
As Guang Bo's words fell, the sisters Suzy and Ying Nan immediately widened their eyes in surprise.
Guang Bo's decision was too sudden.
After Suzy returned to Tuke, she told everyone what had happened. At that time, Guang Bo only said he would confirm whether what Samuel said was true or false, and he didn't say that if it was true, the whole village would regard Samuel as their master.
The sisters Suzy and Ying Nan were surprised, and Samuel was also very surprised. He never expected that Guang Bo, who was serious and willing to sacrifice himself in the movie, would say that the whole village would regard him as their master upon meeting him.
This is a bit unreasonable!
Samuel didn't respond but used his Mind Manipulation Ability on Guang Bo, wanting to see what he was really thinking.
Upon seeing this, he was somewhat impressed.
Old people become astute.
Don't look at how Wen pointed at Guang Bo's nose in the movie and said he had eaten more salt than he had eaten rice.
But he was indeed very wise.
Putting aside the various reasons, there was only one reason why Guang Bo made such a decision.
Strength!
If Samuel could really communicate with the Divine Dragon and completely eliminate the Soul-Devouring Monster, if he had other intentions for Tuke Village, gathering the strength of the entire village might not be useful.
This is the first point.
Secondly, if the Soul-Devouring Monster was truly completely eliminated, the responsibility they had borne for thousands of years would also disappear.
Whether it's the predecessors who have already died, the current generation, or the descendants who were supposed to inherit the responsibility, they should all thank Samuel.
To repay kindness and treat him as My Lord is also reasonable.
Thirdly, without the Soul-Devouring Monster and the responsibility to guard this place, life in the village will inevitably change.
At that time, people who are curious or yearn for the outside World will definitely leave Taro Village.
But they have lived in Taro Village for generations, knowing very little about the outside World. With Samuel, a person from the outside World, those who want to leave Taro Village can adapt to life outside better and faster.
Simply put, Samuel eliminated the Soul-Devouring Monster. His proposal can save Taro Village from disaster, repaying kindness and enabling a better start to a new life.
What if Samuel isn't interested in Taro Village? That's even better. Just state the idea first, and there won't be any impact or loss in the end.
Of course, if Samuel cannot completely eliminate the Soul-Devouring Monster and has other intentions for Tuke, then it's even simpler.
Just do it!
"You..." Guang Bo had a feeling, looking at Samuel with a probing gaze.
But Samuel's gaze went past him, towards a tree behind a rock on the mountain.
"Come out."
Guang Bo, Suzy, and Ying Nan's expressions slightly changed.
Immediately after, they saw a fluffy, chubby creature emerge from behind the tree.
It had two pairs of things that looked like both ears and wings, six limbs, but no face or mouth.
In the movie, it was called Morris by the fake Mandarin from Iron Man 3.
But its real name should be Dijiang.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas records that there is a God whose form is like a yellow bag, red like vermilion fire, with six feet and four wings, Hun Dun without face or eyes, capable of knowing song and dance, truly the Dijiang.
Samuel clapped his hands, and the Dijiang stumbled on its six feet, hopping and bouncing to his front, directly jumping into his arms.
"This little thing is quite cute."
Samuel held the Dijiang, stroking it as if petting a cat.
It seemed very comfortable, tilting its head, which had no face at all, and making a cooing sound in enjoyment.
"I accept your condition. If I cannot completely eliminate the Soul-Devouring Monster, then I will turn around and leave, never stepping into Tuke again."
Samuel said to Guang Bo.
Guang Bo hesitated and asked, "You know what I'm thinking?"
Samuel shrugged, "If I don't even know what you're thinking, then how can I communicate with the Divine Dragon?"
Guang Bo was relieved, "Since that's the case, then enter Tuke."
"Wait."
Samuel called out to Guang Bo, "When does the entrance to Tuke close?"
"In a few days."
"Then I'll go in before the entrance closes, so that the entrance isn't unguarded during that time and someone takes advantage of it. You can also go back and discuss and make some preparations."
...
Guang Bo wanted to speak but stopped.
But Samuel seemed to know what he was going to say and proactively said, "I don't need the entrance at all to enter and exit Tuke."
"Let alone Tuke being just a pocket Universe in an external dimension, even in other Universes, I can enter and exit freely."
Guang Bo nodded, "Okay, we do need time to make some preparations."
"Ying Nan, you stay here for now. You can go back to Tuke with them then."
"Okay."
Ying Nan nodded, and Guang Bo turned and left.
After Guang Bo left, Suzy couldn't help but ask, "Can you really enter and exit Tuke without going through the entrance?"
"Yes."
"Then, then how did you..."
Suzy originally wanted to ask, if you can enter and exit Tuke, why did you come here, and why did you insist on my invitation before you would go in.
But as soon as she started speaking, she vaguely realized something and felt too embarrassed to ask further.
Samuel smiled knowingly, understanding her thoughts, and turned to ask the somewhat curious Ying Nan.
"How about we have a sparring session?"
"Okay!"
Ying Nan readily agreed.
Honestly, she was very curious about Samuel.
Since she was a child, she had heard many legends about the Divine Dragon and the Soul-Devouring Monster. She never thought someone could communicate with the Divine Dragon and even be confident in completely eliminating the Soul-Devouring Monster.
She wanted to see how special Samuel was and how strong his power was to be able to completely eliminate the Soul-Devouring Monster.
