## Chapter 2634: Life or Death, You Decide
Xiao San recounted all his experiences over the years as if he were pouring out his grievances.
His story was simple yet filled with bitterness.
Being stuck here for 100,000 years, anyone would likely go mad.
It was already remarkable that he could maintain his current state.
Through his description, Lin Moyu finally learned who had been chasing him.
It turned out to be the previous Holy Lord of Hanshui Holy Land, Gu Hanyu's mother.
Xiao San escaped the pursuit of Gu Hanyu's mother, only to end up in Lin Moyu's hands. If he knew the truth, one wonders what he would think.
Gu Hanyu's mother didn't want to kill him but intended to capture him and make him her spirit beast.
The Sky-Swallowing Rat has two special abilities. One is finding origin spirit veins.
When the Sky-Swallowing Rat is born, it lives by devouring origin spirit veins, giving it a strong sense of these veins.
They can locate origin spirit veins within a certain range, using this ability to find more veins.
Secondly, the Sky-Swallowing Rat can refine origin spirit veins.
The veins refined by the Sky-Swallowing Rat are used by their race to feed the next generation.
Practitioners can also use these refined veins to nourish other origin spirit veins, thereby improving their level.
Because of this, the Sky-Swallowing Rat is a rare treasure in the eyes of many powerful Dao Zuns.
Especially the leaders of sects, who all hope to obtain a Sky-Swallowing Rat.
Xiao San looked at Lin Moyu with a dead heart, "I've told you everything. Now, you can give me a quick death."
Lin Moyu smiled, "Actually, I don't have to kill you."
The Sky-Swallowing Rat snorted, "Do you still want to let me go?"
Lin Moyu smiled, "I want you to be my spirit beast."
Xiao San was silent and did not speak.
With his head stuck in the gem, his eyes passed through the transparent gem, and Lin Moyu could feel that his heart was very conflicted.
Lin Moyu actually did not think that it could become his spirit beast.
Before, it would rather die than become someone else's spirit beast, not to mention that Lin Moyu was just a low-level Heavenly Venerable, so it should have refused directly.
Lin Moyu actually had another condition, which was to first propose something that was impossible to agree to, and then propose something that was possible to agree to, which would be much easier.
But Xiao San's reaction surprised Lin Moyu.
It didn't refuse directly, which surprised Lin Moyu.
In this case, Lin Moyu was not in a hurry and let it figure it out.
Xiao San thought for a while and finally spoke again, "I can agree to become your spirit beast, and I can also help you find the origin spirit vein and refine the origin spirit vein."
"But I have a few requests you must agree to; otherwise, I would rather die than obey."
Xiao San said passionately, as if he was ready to die.
But Lin Moyu heard a bit of timidity in its words.
Lin Moyu could hear that it didn't want to die and was far from living enough.
As a Dao Zun, it could still live for millions of years, and there was still a good life ahead.
Lin Moyu didn't agree immediately, "You said it, as long as it doesn't violate my principles, I can agree to it."
Xiao San said, "First, you have to help me reshape my body. You should think about it carefully. It's not easy for me to restore my body."
Lin Moyu smiled, "If you become my spirit beast, I will naturally help you reshape your body."
Xiao San continued, "Secondly, I will only serve you for 10,000 years. After 10,000 years, if your performance does not satisfy me, I have the right to leave, and you must not stop me."
Lin Moyu still kept smiling, "That's no problem, 10,000 years is enough."
He knew what Xiao San meant.
In fact, 10,000 years is to see if he has the potential for development.
If he still doesn't make progress in ten thousand years, the arrogant Sky-Swallowing Rat will naturally leave.
After all, it is a Dao Zun, and he is currently just a low-level Tian Zun.
Xiao San said, "The last request, if you find the origin spirit vein, you must give me a part."
This time Lin Moyu did not agree immediately but looked at Xiao San with a smile, "How much do you want to get?"
Xiao San originally wanted to say one-third, but he saw that Lin Moyu's eyes were a little dangerous, and then looked at the World-Burning Fire on his fingertips that had not been extinguished, and he swallowed his saliva, "Three-fifths."
Lin Moyu shook his head slightly, "Too much."
At this moment, his smile seemed to become more dangerous.
Xiao San's soul trembled slightly, and he choked, "Three-thirds?"
Lin Moyu said nothing but made the World-Burning Fire a little more vigorous.
Xiao San immediately changed his words, "One-tenth, no less."
Lin Moyu sighed, "Forget it, you are too noble, I can't afford it."
The World-Burning Fire became stronger, Xiao San was frightened, and his whole soul almost peed, screaming quickly, "Then how much do you say!"
Lin Moyu said, "There is no fixed share for you, it depends on your performance. If you perform well, I will give you more; if you don't perform well, you will get nothing."
"If you agree, agree; if you don't agree, forget it. I don't have to have you."
Xiao San wanted to offer a higher price so that Lin Moyu could bargain.
He thought that Lin Moyu would at least give him one percent, if not, at least one thousandth, or one ten-thousandth.
Some origin spirit veins are very large, like those of the seventh and eighth-order origin spirit veins, which are enough to support many sects.
If he was given one ten-thousandth, he would have eaten it up long ago.
But who would have thought that Lin Moyu would directly refuse and let it depend on his performance?
In other words, whether to give or not is entirely up to him.
Xiao San looked at the approaching World-Burning Fire, and his heart was beating fast. He really didn't want to die. He still had a long life ahead of him, and he hadn't found a mother rat, and hadn't given birth to baby rats.
He couldn't just die like this.
Through the World-Burning Fire, Lin Moyu on the other side of the fire was so scary.
That half-smiley look made his soul tremble.
Lin Moyu kept a dangerous smile, "Don't waste time, I'll give you three seconds to think about it, life or death, you decide."
He stretched out three fingers and started counting.
With a tick, it became two fingers.
Xiao San screamed, "Wait, stop... Let's discuss it again."
Two fingers became one, and there was still one second.
The World-Burning Fire became stronger and closer.
Lin Moyu seemed not to hear Xiao San's cry and ignored it at all.
Finally, when the last finger was bent, Xiao San screamed wildly, "Stop, stop, stop, I promise, I promise!"
Lin Moyu put away his fingers and kept a devilish smile, "Look, how good this is."
Xiao San sighed, "I am the fish at the mercy of others, you are such a terrible guy."
Lin Moyu didn't care about its words, "Hand over your true spirit, don't play tricks."
Xiao San was unwilling and had no choice but to split a trace of true spirit from his soul and let it fall into Lin Moyu's hands.
The soul can be injured, but the true spirit cannot. The true spirit is the core part of the soul.
As long as the true spirit is damaged, the soul will be completely annihilated.
As long as you control this trace of true spirit, you can control Xiao San's life and death.
