This time, Zhu Zhu nodded his head even faster, as if he wanted to shake his head off his neck.

"I ask you, why are you chasing me?" Steve bared his teeth, frowned, and stared at the other person's pupils with his eyes wide open, without any deviation or blinking, pretending to be ferocious.

The most effective way to deal with such a timid guy is to scare him. Such a coward is easy to catch.

Steve subconsciously boasted in his heart.

As a result, after a long time, Steve didn't get the result he wanted, and the other party didn't say a word.

He thought the other party was frightened, so he asked again and waited for a while, but still no one said anything.

I didn't expect this guy to be such a tough guy!

Steve looked at the pig spirit in disbelief and began to sweat over his miscalculation.

He had even started to think wildly about the other party, and even his previous cowardly appearance was a disguise, just to trick him out and let him relax his vigilance. Fortunately, he was always cautious in doing things, and all five of them were tied up tightly, otherwise wouldn't he really have been deceived?

Steve's eyes suddenly grew sharp, and he demanded loudly, "Stop pretending! I see through you! Tell me the truth, and you'll save yourself a beating."

At this moment, Zhu Zhu, who was already scared to death, started shaking all over. Val, who was standing behind Steve, couldn't bear it anymore. He walked over, pried open his mouth, hit him hard on the back, took out the piece of wood that was originally stuffed in the water in his hand, put it aside, and then returned to his original position as if nothing had happened.

Steve looked at the other person awkwardly for a long time, wondering if it was too late to drill a hole and drill down.

"I, I, I, I... yes, yes, it was me who suggested pursuing you. It's all my fault, because, because, because you are a devil, no no no, because because." Zhu Zhu subconsciously said the word "devil" to the other party, but then he felt that he was scolding him blatantly, so he immediately shook his head to deny it, and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"Demon!" Steve repeated subconsciously.

This is the end. Zhu Zhu couldn't help but think, and he immediately lowered his head, his body shaking uncontrollably.

You don't control your mouth, you don't control your mouth, you don't use your brain, you stay at home all year round and forget about things, and now you see everything is messed up again.

"! Not bad, very impressive, right? You see, I told you that I still have a reputation in hell." After hearing this name, Steve's eyes lit up. He walked to Val and put his arm around his shoulders, smiling and talking. Don't say he was angry, but rather excited.

"...I think you should do the important things first." Val forcibly turned his head and pointed at the pig spirit that was shaking on the ground, with a tone of disappointment.

"Ahem." Steve couldn't help but cough a few times. After all, if you don't have a middle school second, you're still a teenager. Who hasn't had a middle school second? It's okay for Steve to have a little bit of a middle school second a little longer, right? After all, he's always been a teenager.

"What's going on with that castle? And..." Steve squatted down and looked the other person up and down carefully. He racked his brains but couldn't match the other person with any creature in hell. If he had to say, he looked a bit like a zombie pigman, but that face was obviously two different species from the zombie pigman!

So he asked this question directly.

"What species are you? I've never seen one before in Hell."

"Pig... Pig spirit." Perhaps it was the long show of antics that had finally allowed Zhu Zhu to let go of his fear a little. He finally dared to raise his head slightly and glance at the demon's appearance out of the corner of his eye. But the moment the demon's gaze swept over him, he lowered his head in fear again, refusing to meet his gaze no matter what. "We just arrived in Hell."

407 Steve Never Gives Up

The weak Zhu Zhu was indeed easily frightened, and all those trivial details were told to him like beans pouring out of bamboo slips.

Including why they attacked him? Including why he was called a demon? But when it comes to other things.

For example, what is their race, which cities there are, etc. Even though the other party was frightened by the ferocious Steve and even closed his eyes, he kept kowtowing and begging for mercy without saying a word.

This forced Steve to lose his patience, and he thought about just going directly to Tony Stark for help, but the problem was that Tony Stark had just made a big promise, but failed to do it, and actually had to ask for help, which contradicted his own face. Steve couldn't bring himself to do it.

Just when he was worried, Val went to talk to the four solitary confinement pig spirits one by one, reasoned with them, moved them with emotion, and after he had a general idea in his mind, he came back and patted Steve's shoulder who was still in deep thought.

He retreated and rolled over as if by reflex, half-knelt on the ground, took up his weapons and armor, held his shield, raised it and leaned forward, looking vigilantly in the direction where Val came from.

Only after seeing who was coming did he quickly and swiftly gather all his equipment, grinning innocently and scratching his head sheepishly. "Um, um, right away, right away, seriously, the other party's psychological defenses have collapsed. I was just wondering what to ask?"

Steve's voice became lower and lower, and soon he stopped talking. Val was confused and wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Steve looked like he had given up, closed his eyes, and loudly admitted his mistake.

"Okay, I get it. I won't brag anymore. I knew she was hard to deal with, but I didn't expect her to be that difficult..."

"Uh." Val looked at the man helplessly, not knowing what to say. "I don't understand what you're talking about. I just came to tell you something."

"It's just... a matter of betting and bragging!" Steve, who was originally feeling guilty, immediately changed his expression and looked at the other party in confusion.

Val remained silent. He always felt that no matter how long he worked with the other party or how much they experienced, he would never be able to catch up with the other party's eccentric thoughts and strange thinking ability.

"You actually forgot!" Although Steve didn't hear the other party's exact admission, the confused expression on his face had already betrayed the other party completely.

He pretended to be Xi Shi holding her heart and covered it with his hands, looking aggrieved, as if he was about to burst into tears in the next second.

"You, you actually forgot!" Steve cried out in tears, his face full of emotion. "That's really too much. I was worried for so long. We're still good brothers, but you're really too much!"

Facing the other party's crying, Val looked calm and did not respond as if it was nothing unusual. He just calmly finished what he wanted to say.

Waldau said, "There's no point in asking any further. They are a species with a unity beyond my expectations. Even the villagers might not be able to match their unity."

As soon as these serious words were spoken, Steve immediately changed his facial expression and listened with a serious look. If there were no tear marks on his face, he probably couldn't prove that the tearful accusation he made before had ever happened.

Val continued slowly, "The villagers' unity stems from external oppression. We may be angry and worried about the victims, but more importantly, we will shoulder the responsibility of continuing to forge ahead on the path paved by the sacrifices. We may shed tears for the past, but we will not let it hold us back."

"But." Val raised his hand and pointed at the still-trembling piglin. "They're different. They'd risk their lives for their companions, no matter the cost. Even if their blood drained, their fat burned, their bones reduced to ash, they'd use that ash to smear the faces of anyone who dared harm them."

"They'll give up their future for their companions, but we'll only shoulder our companions' lives and move towards a more distant future. The difference is huge, so if you ask for details, they won't say anything. They won't betray their companions, no matter what kind of threats they face."

Steve nonchalantly scratched his possibly existing ear, because he knew very well that since the other party had spoken to him at such a lengthy conversation, there must be a solution. Val never spoke without a purpose.

"Alright, alright." Steve waved his hand. "Just say you're about the same as the villagers. I totally understand. After all, we've come this far without a single betrayer. Never."

Steve was full of pride when he said this. After all, this world was his... and related to him. Compared with the treacherous world of other group members in the chat group, he was so arrogant that he could lift his nose to the sky.

After he said this, his tone immediately changed. He smiled at her, pinched his throat, and pretended to be flattering.

I don't know how he managed to ask while grinning. "So, uncle, since you know everything, you must have some ideas. So don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me directly."

That expression and that voice were as mean as they could be. Val didn't bother to pay attention to him and just silently covered his face with one hand. With Zhu Zhu looking like he was about to die, he walked forward and untied Zhu Zhu's rope.

"Okay, we won't make things difficult for you. I have also untied your friend's ropes. Just ask them whatever you want to ask. I have told you everything I need to say." After saying this, he was too lazy to pay attention to the other party's surprise and forcibly dragged Steve away to prevent the timid guy from being frightened again, which would ruin the things that had been finally agreed upon.

Val tilted his head slightly and glanced at the pig spirit that was staggering to its feet. He opened the door that Steve had inexplicably installed in the basement, waved to the four pig spirits looking out the door, and deliberately made way so that they could see the scene behind the door.

The four remaining pig spirits first breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Zhu Zhu was still alive, then they remembered what Val had told them, and they looked amused again, and rushed in together.

Zhu Xi knocked the stupid guy hard on the head, and then the four of them gathered together and talked at the same time.

Val was having a brotherly reunion, so it was inconvenient to go in and watch. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing to be a light bulb? He just left the door ajar and stood outside with Steve, waiting for the people inside to finish their conversation and come out so they could have a detailed chat.

408 "Do you want it?" "No"

"How did you do it?" Steve couldn't help but quietly come over and ask. After all, a race that is united to this extent would probably be difficult to be persuaded by anyone.

"Do you really want to know?" He squinted his eyes at Steve and asked calmly. Perhaps because he had been with Steve for a long time, Val had unknowingly learned the other's method of keeping people in suspense.

After watching Steve act funny for so long, it’s time for him to suffer a little loss.

"Of course, of course, of course, of course." Steve nodded his head up and down like a chicken pecking at rice. "Good brother, just tell me."

Val just made a little calculation, and then his defense was broken in a second when the other party called him "good brother".

In terms of strategy and calmness, even ten Steves put together might not be able to defeat one Val.

But when it comes to thick skin...

Perhaps a group of Vals could not compare to one Steve. You know, Steve's thick skin was so thick that the villagers jokingly described him as "as tough, broad and thick as a border wall."

How can a Val compare to this?

He watched the shameless Steve helplessly lose the battle. "...When will you calm down?"

Seeing that Steve was about to say something more, rather than feeling ashamed but proud, Val quickly got rid of the secret and told the whole story truthfully.

"It's very simple, just present the facts and reason with them."

"Speak, speak reasonably?" Steve was confused. "Is it that simple?"

"How complicated do you think it is?" Val asked back.

"Don't forget, they were the ones who initiated the attack. They were the ones who took the initiative to attack. No matter what happens, we are in the right."

Steve looked at the man, then couldn't help but glance at the half-open door. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but express his concerns. "But am I not a demon?"

He didn't ask such a stupid question as whether the other party had deceived him. After all, Val was used to big scenes, so he couldn't be fooled by these guys, right?

Steve, who had also seen big scenes, was completely unaware of it and completely forgot that he had also seen big scenes and was fooled by others.

Val looked at the man expressionlessly, and he really couldn't understand why he had been so optimistic about him in the first place, but since he was a friend, he would continue to be one.

Val: "What have you done? Did you take their fields, burn their houses, kill their animals, rob their homes, or slaughter them? You haven't done anything, so where does the hatred come from? A bare name will only work on some stupid or bad people, but there are still some piglins who can listen and understand things."

"They're not right, and they can't beat us, so what else can we say? After all, we spared their lives. Given their provocative and offensive actions, it would be perfectly legitimate for me to kill them."

"But I'm also thankful that we didn't kill them. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't be able to get out of this hell anymore."

After these words were spoken, the bustling movement inside stopped. Perhaps after all the cursing and talking, Val decisively shut up and stood aside waiting for the door to open.

When Zhu Xi came out, he apologized to the two people very solemnly and bowed. In order to prevent any accidents, he forcibly twisted the ears of Zhu Zhu who was distracted, and bowed to apologize with the other three accomplices.

"The misunderstanding on your side has been resolved, but not over there." Val pointed to the piglins' fortress in the distance based on his memory.

Although Zhu Xi could see that the other party wanted to take advantage of the situation to achieve their goals, he had no choice because they were in the wrong first. Moreover, after a detailed discussion, he confirmed that the other party really had no ill intentions. So, it was okay for him to visit the Pig Spirit's fortress.

So, he could only nod, but he couldn't just leave like that. He had to say what needed to be said. He didn't want this favor to end up in a mess today.

Steve saw the two old foxes negotiating back and forth, subconsciously exchanged a glance with Zhu Zhu, then calmly touched his somewhat empty stomach, and subconsciously took out a tender and juicy pork chop from his backpack. Before he could take a bite of it, he heard the sound of swallowing saliva coming from the side.

Steve knew who it was without even having to guess, but for the sake of politeness, he turned his head to look at the man, then waved the pork chop in his hand.

"Want to eat?" Steve asked in a coaxing manner with a smirk on his face.

Zhu Zhu nodded fiercely, unable to stop swallowing his saliva.

Steve chuckled. He had many tricks to deal with this kind of guy who had weaknesses and was easy to deceive. After all, he was really bored these days. He finally found someone who could be amused and he couldn't miss it.

Steve waved the pork chop in front of the man and asked again, "Want to eat?"

Just when he was smugly thinking that this guy was about to take the bait and be toyed with by him, the other party suddenly remembered something, the eager expression on his face froze, and he shook his head violently, then showed a look of loss.

He swallowed hard and spoke hesitantly. "I...I don't have anything."

"What?" Steve didn't understand.

"I said I have nothing to exchange with you." Zhu Zhu remembered the teachings of countless elders, forced himself to swallow the desire in his heart, and answered honestly.

Since he had nothing on hand, he naturally could not trade with the other party. In the tradition of the Pig Spirits, there was no option of buying on credit.

“??? Why?” Steve didn’t quite understand. He waved the pork chop in front of the man frantically, watching the man’s eyes almost popping out of his mouth because of the greed for the pork chop. Then he took a bite with a puzzled look, and there was a crisp sound.

"Look at how crispy and juicy this pork chop is. Doesn't it taste good?" Steve didn't believe it. The previous negotiations had failed, and how could something go wrong with such a small deception?

Zhu Zhu nodded while swallowing his saliva wildly, his eyes so attracted that he couldn't move away for a moment.

"Really? So you want it?" Steve gradually brought the pork chop closer to the other person, almost touching his face, so that the other person could bite it as long as he opened his mouth.

But the piglin took a few steps back as if by reflex and continued to shake his head violently.

Steve almost couldn't help cursing when he saw the man, but he held it back. An extremely forced smile appeared on Steve's face. He moved closer with a ferocious look in his eyes and almost put the pork chop against the man's face. He continued the previous process with gritted teeth as if he was competing with him.

"Does it smell good? Does it smell good? Do you want to eat it?"

"think."

"Would you like to try it?"

"No."

"Don't you want to eat?"

"think."

"Have a taste?"

"No."
