I received a text message from the future. Is it reasonable for me to earn tens of billions?

Tom just threw himself into the old man's arms and hadn't noticed anything, but the next second, he was dumbfounded.

This Mo Dao is locked and cannot be taken away.

"Taotie, this guy's hand guard is cast with the sword, it's impossible to take it off."

Tom clamped Lao Zongzi's hands and shouted helplessly at Taotie.

When Taotie heard Tom's shout, he was slightly stunned.

While pulling back hard and strangling Lao Zongzi's neck tightly, he leaned over to look at Lao Zongzi's hand holding the knife.

When I saw this, my nose almost got crooked with anger.

Yes, it's just like Tom said.

The handle of the Mo Dao has no guard at all.

The one-piece cast blade and the metal guard were cast together with molten iron, so tightly that they looked like they were originally one piece.

Taotie pondered for a moment, clenching his teeth.

"Aha!"

Taotie let out a low roar and suddenly burst out with all his strength. He used all his arms to strangle the old zongzi's neck and pulled him into his arms, trying to break the old zongzi's neck and pull off the old zongzi's helmeted head by the roots.

According to Taotie's experience, as long as the head is gone, the zongzi will not move. Breaking the cervical vertebrae should have the same effect.

The old zongzi can move and swing a knife.

But he is not a living person after all. His body cells and muscles have long lost their activity. He does not have the toughness that Huotou's flesh should have. He is like a whole piece of dried bacon. With his terrifying strength, he should theoretically be able to pull old Zongzi's head off.

As he continued to exert force, Taotie's big face, which was covered with flesh, turned red and drops of sweat dripped from his forehead. Under Taotie's unremitting efforts, there was a crisp "crack" sound from the old zongzi's neck, and it was actually twisted off by Taotie.

But in a second, Taotie was stunned.

Damn it, the old zongzi’s neck was broken by him just as Taotie wished.

However, the neck guard of the Ming Guang Armor was actually cast with molten iron, and was tightly connected to the matching helmet on Lao Zongzi's head. The bottom was also cast with the Ming Guang Armor. No matter how hard the Taotie tried to strangle Lao Zongzi's neck, it was unable to pull off his shriveled head.

However, the old zongzi with a broken neck was not affected at all. It was still full of energy and kept struggling. It was not like what Taotie had expected, that it would lose the ability to move because of a broken cervical vertebrae.

After a brief moment of shock, Taotie came to his senses.

There was a flash of coldness in his eyes.

Taotie yelled, "Old Tom, pull it off for me, including its hand guard. If you can't pull it off, find a way to cut off its hand!"

"If we don't take down this knife, our weapons won't be able to do anything to this tin can."

While shouting, Taotie exerted force with his big hand, and with a "click", he broke the wooden shaft of the spear. He grabbed the sharp spear head and stabbed it fiercely into the eye socket of the mask on the old Zongzi's face.

The spear head pierced into the eye socket with a muffled "puff" sound, and juice burst out instantly. The colorful juice mixed with the corpses of black insects flowed out along the spear head. A fishy smell instantly spread, making Taotie and Tom feel nauseous.

However, in the midst of a life-and-death struggle, Taotie and Tom both gritted their teeth and forced themselves to suppress their churning stomachs. Taotie repeatedly stabbed the old Zongzi's eye sockets with the tip of his spear, while Tom, following Taotie's instructions, tried his best to pull out the old Zongzi's hand guard.

Tom looked so hard-working that it seemed as if he was not pulling out the old Zongzi's hand guard, but the jewel-encrusted gloves in the hands of the purple potato spirit in the Marvel movie.

Fortunately, although the old Zongzi's hand guards were tied to the shoulder guards of the Ming Guang Armor with the tendons of an unknown animal, they had not been cast with molten iron. As long as the tendons were cut, the hand guards could be taken off.

"Taotie, help me control his arm. I have to pull out the dagger and remove his arm."

Tom had a plan and immediately shouted to Taotie.

"it is good!"

Taotie responded, let go of Lao Zongzi's neck, and grabbed Lao Zongzi's arms with both hands.

Without the power of Taotie, the old Zongzi's neck drooped down helplessly, but with the support of the neck guard, it did not fall off his neck. Taotie grabbed the old Zongzi's arm and pulled it hard behind his back, trying to twist the old Zongzi's arm behind his back, but the armor was there, so Taotie could not do the joint grabbing action at all.

He could only barely hold on to the old man's arm.

The old Zongzi's arm was grabbed by Taotie.

Tom freed his hands and immediately drew out the black dagger from his waist and chopped at the tendons.

These unknown animal tendons were tanned into thin strips as bowstrings.

But it was very tough. Even with the sharp black dagger made with modern black technology in Tom's hand, it couldn't be cut by it.

"Old Tom, hurry up!"

Taotie shouted at the top of his lungs.

The old Zongzi's struggle became more and more intense.

The terrifying force was too much for Taotie to resist, and he could only grit his teeth and wrestle with the old Zongzi.

"Don't rush. These tendons are too tough."

"I really admire the ancient Chinese people. Under such backward production conditions, they were able to tan animal tendons and hides to such a tough state that even a knife could not cut them."

"It's as tough as a climbing rope mixed with iron wire."

Tom exclaimed as he cut the tendons.

"That is!"

"Our ancestors are so charming!"

“Products from our ancestors must be top quality!”

Talking about his own beautiful and charming old rice dumplings, Taotie is very proud and gets more motivated to work.

Tom didn't respond and continued cutting the tendons.

When the last tendon was cut by the black dagger, Tom was delighted. He put the black dagger back into the scabbard, grabbed the guard with both hands, and pulled it off with force like the Mo Dao.

Along with the hand guard, a piece of Lao Zongzi's forearm was also taken off.

next second!
A series of "crashing" sounds were heard.

Countless black beetles the size of fingers flowed out from the broken wound of the old rice dumpling like dumplings and fell to the ground.

"I go?"

"Taotie, what kind of insect is this..."

Seeing the dense black beetles, Tom screamed subconsciously and kept backing away while holding his gauntlets.

Seeing Tom succeed, Taotie was delighted.

Without this Mo Dao, Lao Zongzi is just a toothless tiger. A toothless tiger is just a big cat, which poses no threat to Taotie.

And the strange knife in Tom's hand will become his sharpest fang.

Taotie wanted to use that Mo Dao to cut this old zongzi, who was armed to the teeth, into boiled chicken.

Hearing Tom's shout, Taotie was stunned.

He let go of the old Zongzi's arm, kicked it, and looked towards Tom...
