Chapter 812 Brick
“Finally it worked.”
Zhang Tuohai entered the Temple of Hermes through the portal.
Under normal circumstances, Zhang Tuohai would definitely not dare to enter the Temple of Hermes so directly.
Even if Hermes was not in the temple and someone entered, the other person would be able to feel it even if he was thousands of miles away. If he used the characteristics of the temple to return, Zhang Tuohai, who had just become a demigod, might not be able to resist.
However, things were different this time. Hermes was already half-crippled, and even if it sensed someone sneaking into its temple, it would never dare to rush back.
Even if it dares to come back, it's not certain who will deal with it.
Zhang Tuohai strolled around the temple without worrying about anyone breaking in.
However, it is a pity that Hermes has a huge temple but is extremely poor. The huge temple is even cleaner than Zhang Tuohai's face and has nothing in it.
It is not an exaggeration to describe the family as being penniless .
Even the walls of the temple are huge pieces of raw obsidian, without any patterns, let alone murals or decorations.
"So poor?"
Zhang Tuohai walked around the temple three times but didn't find anything, not even a chair.
"This Hermes is really too ruthless, isn't it? How could he leave nothing behind?"
Zhang Tuohai was somewhat unwilling to give up, but he walked around the hall several times and didn't find anything at all.
"How about just leaving like this?" Zhang Tuohai thought helplessly.
"No, we must not go empty-handed, even if it's just to pry open two floor tiles." Zhang Tuohai glanced at the ground, trying to see where would be the best place to start.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a lamp in the corner of the temple, emitting a faint but constant light.
"This thing is much easier to hold than floor tiles."
Zhang Tuohai walked over quickly and prepared to pick up the lamp.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from under his feet: "Dad, don't move that lamp!"
Zhang Tuohai: “???”
"Who is talking?" Zhang Tuohai looked around in the direction of the voice, but there was nothing under his feet except the identical floor tiles.
"Who is it?"
Zhang Tuohai reached for the black umbrella behind him.
"Dad, it's me! Wait a moment, I'm stuck, wait for me to pull my body out."
Along with the sound, a floor tile twisted its body and crawled out from the ground with difficulty. After getting up from the ground, it twisted its body and shook off the dust on its body.
"Who are you?" Looking at the floor tiles, Zhang Tuohai felt a little numb.
"I'm Xiaojiu, the ninth page of the Book of All Laws. When I was running around, I accidentally ended up here. In order to avoid being discovered, I turned into a floor tile. How about that? It's a good disguise, isn't it?"
Xiaojiu said this, twisting his body proudly.
"Well, it's pretty good." Zhang Tuohai looked at the proud Xiaojiu, not knowing what to say.
He felt that his descendants seemed to be getting weirder and weirder. Having a daughter and a son was fine, and a paper-man daughter was acceptable, but a chair actually appeared not long ago, and this time it turned into floor tiles. Zhang Tuohai didn't dare to imagine what would come out in the future.
"By the way, what did you mean by not letting me touch this lamp just now?"
Zhang Tuohai asked curiously.
"This lamp is a disguise. The main body is a mutant worm that is good at camouflage. It is currently dormant. If you touch it, it will activate and devour everything around it."
Xiaojiu said.
"Really?" Zhang Tuohai looked at the lamp with some suspicion. No matter how he looked at it, it looked very similar to an eternal lamp. Even the rust on the metal from being left there for a long time was the same. It was hard to imagine that this thing was actually a monster in disguise.
"Dad, if you don't believe me, I'll show you. Just stand back."
Xiaojiu said.
"Okay," Zhang Tuohai took a few steps back as he was told.
"Go!"
Xiaojiu suddenly flew up from the ground and hit the eternal lamp hard.
With a whooshing sound of wind, the eternal lamp suddenly jumped up and turned into a giant worm with a big mouth.
After the giant worm woke up, it opened its big mouth and pounced towards Zhang Tuohai.
At this moment, Xiao Jiu suddenly jumped up and slammed his body on the worm's head, shouting loudly: "Take my brick!"
Bang!
Xiaojiu hit the worm's head hard.
The worm shook twice, fell to the ground with a thud, and fainted.
After the attack was successful, Xiaojiu seemed very proud of his work, and stood on the worm's head with his head held high, with an expression that said, "Praise me soon."
Zhang Tuohai, who was standing nearby, was completely stunned.
He was not surprised by the worm. After being baptized by more than a dozen worlds, he had even seen super monsters like the Soul-Eating Beast that were hundreds of kilometers long. A mere worm was nothing. What shocked him was Xiao Jiu.
It seemed to have instinctively regarded itself as a brick. The force and angle of the attack just now were perfect and almost impeccable.
However, he felt a pain in his balls when he thought about this thing calling him dad.
"Um, can you change back to your original appearance? You always look like a brick, which feels weird."
Zhang Tuohai said helplessly.
"The original look?" Xiao Jiu scratched his head, then said apologetically, "I forgot."
"How could you forget this?" Zhang Tuohai looked at Xiaojiu in disbelief.
"I can't help it. It's been too long. I've forgotten what I looked like before. I can't change back in a short time. Maybe if I give it more time, I can slowly recover."
Xiaojiu said a little embarrassedly.
"Is this what the saying goes, if you pretend to be a pig for long enough, you will really become a pig?"
Zhang Tuohai thought secretly as he looked at Xiaojiu.
At this time, Lilith came in with a large team of self-propelled machines, looking like she was ready to work hard.
As a result, when she walked into the temple, she was also shocked by the scene in front of her, and murmured to herself: "Is this really a temple? It's too poor ."
"Big sister, big sister, I'm Xiaojiu."
Seeing Lilith, Xiaojiu jumped off the worm's head and threw a powerful flying brick towards Lilith.
"Who is this evildoer?"
Seeing a black shadow flying over, Lilith's emergency defense measures were activated. A whole huge alloy armor popped out from the pendant on her chest. The heavy alloy armor blocked Lilith firmly behind it. In addition, there was a layer of plasma shield outside the armor. When Xiaojiu turned into a brick, its potential energy was cut off by the plasma shield when it was halfway through the flight, and it was firmly trapped in the shield, unable to move forward or backward.
