Chapter 252: Everyone is busy seeking profit!

The hoarse whispers, coupled with unfamiliar nouns, made the fragments of words echoing in the cave sound like the evil spells of an ancient wizard, which made people shudder.

However, staring blankly at the hunched figure covered with "barbs" and with its back facing her, Luna's initial vigilance gradually turned into curiosity, and finally into shock.

"Ayao?" The girl loosened her grip on the hilt of the rune sword, opened her eyes wide, covered her lips, and looked at the unrecognizable person in front of her in disbelief.

That was undoubtedly Wang Yao.

It was not until this time that Luna saw clearly that the terrifying "barbs" like a dragon's spine were actually sharp spikes extending from the red mail and brown shoulder armor worn by the person in front of her.

"A Yao? Is that you?" Luna turned carefully to face Wang Yao.

She could see that Wang Yao's hair was disheveled, and his pale face, which had lost a lot of weight, had slightly blackened lower eyelids. He looked like a man who had not slept for several days and nights, and he looked extremely haggard.

But what made Luna feel inexplicably cold in her heart were Wang Yao’s eyes; they were a pair of dull, crazy, obsessed, and bloodshot red eyes!

Moreover, he ignored her completely and just kept muttering the horrible spell like a nightmare.

"Ice Mark, counter-injury, the wrath of the ominous blood demon."

Luna panicked a little. She knelt down in front of Wang Yao and slowly stretched her hand towards his face: "A Yao? Can you hear me?"

Just as Luna's cold fingers touched Wang Yao's face, Wang Yao suddenly raised his head like a dragon whose reverse scales were touched.

boom!
A terrifying gust of air suddenly burst out from Wang Yao's body without any warning, blowing countless gold coins into the air like a fierce storm. He directly activated the hero mode and punched Luna head-on like a madman!
On his fist, he wore a metal lavender claw glove.

Wang Yao's action was too sudden. Luna was caught off guard and only had time to instinctively activate her second skill [Burning Sword], which gave herself a milky white shield. Then Wang Yao's fist came fiercely!
Boom!
With a crisp sound of metal clashing, the shield that could normally block an enemy hero's skill suddenly shattered into a fluorescent light because it could not withstand the pressure! Not only that, the powerful residual force also caused Luna to fly backwards uncontrollably!
pop-

Luna's body slammed heavily into the ocean of gold coins ten meters away, immediately causing a large amount of gold coin waves. Although it had no effect on her blood volume, Luna was shocked and aggrieved!
Wang Yao's power at this moment was far stronger than expected, and he showed no intention of showing mercy at all -

This is not the end yet. With a slightly aggrieved look in her eyes, Luna just stood up gently with the help of her numb arms, and then she heard a slight "clang" sound. The red-eyed demon with disheveled hair, holding a long sword as clear as autumn water, chopped down at her head with a hoarse growl!
"Ahaha!!"

Amidst the lightning and flames, the girl couldn't control her tears as she looked at the person in front of her who seemed to have completely gone crazy.

"Ayao! It's me!!" The shout, so shrill and piercing because of excitement, suddenly sounded like a thunder, resounding throughout the monotonous golden cave, and lasted for a long time.

The sword that was advancing forward suddenly stopped.

Wang Yao stared at the girl with bloodshot eyes. The sharp blade, like autumn water, was trembling slightly in the air an inch in front of the girl's face, which was covered with two lines of tears.

Ding dong——ding dong——

The gold coins that were blown all over the sky finally fell down like rain. The sound of the gold colliding with each other was crisp and had a strange and alluring magic.

"It's me, I'm Luna." The girl looked at the wavering bloodshot eyes of the person in front of her, choking with sobs and asking, "What's wrong with you? Have you even forgotten me?"

"Ugh" With a painful groan, the long sword fell to the ground with a bang. Wang Yao covered his face with his hands, took several steps back, and finally knelt on one knee.

While breathing heavily, he slowly raised his head again, and his bloodshot eyes had a little bit of luster.

But his voice was still hoarse: "Uh, girl, when did you come? I thought someone wanted to steal my gold coins."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luna, who hadn't had time to be surprised, showed a hint of panic on her face.

After being together for so long, she knew that Wang Yao was always a very polite person, and he cherished her very much, and always put her first in everything. But at this moment, he was out of character and didn't show any guilt!
Is he still not sane?
Just when Luna was at a loss, Wang Yao suddenly grabbed her wrist. His grip was so strong that it hurt her wrist, as if he couldn't control his strength. "Look, these, these." Wang Yao pointed excitedly at the bright golden ocean around him, his eyes bloodshot and red: "Gold, gold coins! See? Countless gold coins, endless gold coins! Beyond sadness, beyond pain. People have been scheming and fighting all their lives, all just for these gold coins, and now, they are all mine! Mine! I will never allow the gold coins here to fall into the hands of any demon or other human, even just one! They can only belong to me! If anyone dares to steal my gold coins, I will kill them all!!"

The tail tone of Wang Yao's voice suddenly rose, as if he was declaring the sovereignty of these gold coins to the invisible evil thoughts lurking in the cave and the whole world; he was their real holder!
Luna looked at Wang Yao, who was no longer as gentle as before and had an evil smile on his face, in great panic. She couldn't help but grab his palm that was calloused by countless gold coins and persuaded him gently, "Ayao, these gold coins are not yours. They may have someone else's. We can't just take other people's things when they are not around. This is theft, right? Besides, you don't need these dirty things. These gold coins are not worth your behavior at all."

"No, dear, you still don't understand. The world is bustling with people seeking profit! Money can make the world go round. You don't understand the power of money at all!" Wang Yao turned around and held Luna's hands, which had instantly turned extremely cold, with a crazy look on his face.

"As long as I have these gold coins, I can arm an invincible army. They can easily crush those pretentious heroes, sweep across Wu and flatten Wei, so that I can avenge my subordinates who were brutally killed by them! After that, I can even lead this army to conquer the whole world! I can become a great man who changes the rules of this world. I can liberate all the soldiers so that they don't have to lose their relatives, friends, family members and lovers because of war anymore! Do you understand?!"

Seeing that Luna was just crying and shaking her head, Wang Yao, who was very disappointed with her, simply grabbed a bunch of dazzling gold coins from under his feet and held them in front of the girl: "These are for you!"

The girl shook her head, bit her lips tightly, and said nothing.

Wang Yao was stunned for a moment, then he moved the gold coin closer without giving up. The light emitted by the gold coin illuminated the girl's delicate and painful face: "Take them! Believe me, you will like them!"

The girl just kept shaking her head, her clear eyes already filled with hot, crystal clear tears again without her noticing.

This is not the person she knew. He was not like this.
"What on earth do you want?! Money! This is money! Money that you can never earn in a lifetime and can never spend in a lifetime!!" The inexplicable irritability and anxiety finally made Wang Yao lose his patience. He started yelling like a madman, roaring at Luna angrily and staring at the frightened girl with a look of incomprehension.

"Don't you like money?! Isn't it partly for money that we go through life and death together? As long as I have money, I can do anything. I can become someone worthy of you. I can also buy you an expensive mansion facing the sea with flowers blooming in spring. I can even buy you an entire country. Why can't you understand me!!"

"I don't want these dirty things!" Looking at Wang Yao who was really unreasonable, Luna, who had always been as docile as a cat, finally got angry, like a little tiger.

But in the blink of an eye, she immediately stopped and looked at Wang Yao with hesitant eyes, begging: "Ayao, please listen to me this time, okay? Let's leave here, leave this dirty place. I don't want money, I only want you! It doesn't matter if we don't have money, we can earn it, even if it's a little less. I'm not afraid of hardship, nor do I need to live in a big house, and I'm not afraid of what the future will be like. As long as, as long as, as long as we can be together, it'll be fine."

At the end, the girl burst into tears, slowly knelt on the ground with gold coins and cried softly. Her cry was so plaintive, so sad and grief-stricken.

Wang Yao was stunned. He looked down at the girl's tearful face. His numb heart suddenly began to ache. But on the other hand, there was an evil voice whispering in his ears in the cave, stirring up the dark side of his heart.

Become stronger and equip yourself for revenge. Don't you want to avenge Maomao and the others? Don't you want to change the world? This woman doesn't understand your pain and your aspirations. She is a hero, but she doesn't know the miserable situation of the soldiers. Without these gold coins and equipment, how can you fulfill these long-cherished wishes? Rely on your mouth? Or do you want to kill more soldiers? Haha, naive
Ding ding dang dang ding——

The gold coins in his hands fell to the ground, and Wang Yao's expression gradually turned cold.

As Luna's eyes gradually became disappointed, Wang Yao turned around and walked into the depths of the cave. After a while, his hoarse voice came slowly: "Go away, leave here now, the gold coins here belong to me alone!"

Faced with Wang Yao's stubborn answer, the girl slowly stopped crying. Looking at the black silhouette covered with barbs from afar, she gently stood up and wiped the wet marks on her cheeks stubbornly.

"I know, I've always been too dumb with my words, and maybe I can't persuade you, but Ayao, I'm actually very good at playing games." Luna smiled and stared at Wang Yao's back seriously: "Let's play a game, the rules are very simple, I'm leaving this place now, if you don't follow me out, we'll stop here from now on"

The cave suddenly became dead silent!

Wang Yao's body, which was sitting firmly on the pile of gold coins like a dead tree with roots, suddenly shook. After a moment, he slowly stretched out his hand.

Instead, he grabbed a handful of gold coins beside him and slowly began to count them one by one.

"1 gold coin, 2 gold coins, 3 gold coins, 4 gold coins."

"Really?" The voice, which couldn't be any lower, gradually faded away with the sound of boots stepping on gold coins until it disappeared completely.
At that moment, the girl who left sadly did not notice that the soldier who was sitting with his back to her had tears streaming down his face and his cracked lips trembling constantly, like an extremely anxious person: but no matter how he struggled, he could not drive his body to chase after her. The endless gold coins, like a magnet, had firmly attracted the dark side of his heart.

嗒.
Slowly, a drop of crystal water fell on a gold coin under it, and gently slid down along the delicate outline, but in a blink of an eye, it was submerged by the endless golden ocean.

　Thanks to Donghuang Taiyi for loving Da Qiao, and Lin Youyun for the 500 reward.
