"Is that so … Then let's talk about it!" Lin Yi said as he led the group forward, completely ignoring the massive Primordial King Goumang in the sky.
However, before they could take two steps, a sharp wind blade surged down from the sky and struck right in front of them. At the same time, it was accompanied by King Goumang's voice that was filled with killing intent. "Mere humans, how dare you toy with me. Do you really want to die?"
The power of the wind blade gave everyone a fright. Even Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat. From the looks of it, this King Goumang was probably an existence on par with a golden core late stage at the very least!
With his Yuan Shen at a mere Foundation Establishment level, he didn't even dare say he had much confidence against ordinary golden core masters, much less a creature on par with a golden core late stage. Not to mention that he had Lingshan and the others by his side!
"Am I toying with you? Aren't you going to allow us to talk about it after making such a harsh request? " Lin Yi asked calmly. Although the opponent's strength was beyond his expectations, he was certain of one thing through this exchange. If the opponent wanted to capture them alive, the Primordial King Goumang wouldn't dare attack them unless absolutely necessary. Just like the powerful wind blade from before, it was at most a threat.
"Alright, I'll give you a chance to talk. But the prerequisite is that you don't take another step forward, or you'll die!" King Goumang said sternly.
"Don't take another step forward?" Lin Yi laughed when he heard that, saying meaningfully, "That means if we take another step forward, we'll be out of your control. Am I right?"
"Ugh …" Goumang's face immediately showed a hint of panic. Lin Yi's words had clearly hit the nail on the head. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to emphasize that they couldn't take another step forward. That Goumang subordinate wouldn't have risked his life to launch a sneak attack on Lin Yi's group. There was only one reason: this was the border of their Goumang territory.
"Looks like I was right." Lin Yi said with a faint smile. He suddenly took a step forward, stepping right past the deep mark left behind by King Goumang's wind blade.
"How dare you!" Primordial King Goumang turned anxious as he immediately attacked with all his might. But at that moment, a hair-raising hissing sound came from opposite him. A gigantic snake dozens of meters long shot into the sky. Its scales were a dazzling bright red, making it look like a gigantic fire snake.
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss, this human sure is clever. To think that the mighty King Goumang would be fooled by a mere human. How delightful!" The gigantic fire snake similarly spoke in the human tongue as it laughed heartily without any fear.
Everyone was alarmed when they saw this. A single Primordial King Goumang was already troublesome enough, and now, a gigantic fire snake that was clearly not to be trifled with had suddenly appeared. It was as though they had been surrounded by dumplings!
Only Lin Yi's face didn't look surprised at all. It was as if he had expected this scene.
"Red Scaled Serpent, are you trying to ruin my plans?" Primordial King Goumang stared at the gigantic fire snake with an unfriendly expression. A terrifying dark green aura lingered around him, sending chills down one's spine.
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss. Darn bird, are you out of your mind? There are so many tributes in my territory. Who's ruining whose plans?" Red Scaled Serpent's head suddenly grew a pair of ridiculously large scales. From afar, it looked like a gigantic scarlet ghastly face that left one's hair standing on end.
"Bullshit! They're all in my territory! "Primordial King Goumang said angrily.
"If not for a darn bird like you coming out to obstruct me, they would have long been in my territory. Besides, isn't there already a tribute walking over by itself!?" Before Red Scaled Serpent's voice faded, its tail, which had been hidden somewhere, suddenly swept out from the dense forest, heading straight for Lin Yi.
Everyone was shocked. This Red Scaled Serpent was clearly in a standoff with Primordial King Goumang, but it had already locked onto Lin Yi. These fellows were truly craftier than the last.
The Red Scaled Serpent's tail was extremely fast, but Lin Yi was even faster. This time, he didn't hold back because of Lingshan and the others. With extreme butterfly steps, he turned into a blur, and the snake's tail missed without a doubt.
"Hiss hiss, this human's speed isn't to be underestimated. What an impressive tribute!" Red Scaled Serpent's expressionless face showed an unprecedented look of shock. It had been guarding this place for countless years, and no one had ever been able to dodge its attacks so easily.
"It seems like you all care a lot about the tribute. Can you explain to me what tribute it is?" Lin Yi had already teleported back to his original spot. If one wasn't strong enough, they would think that he had never left at all.
The Primordial King Goumang's explanation of the tribute was obviously bullsh * t. If it was really a tribute, Red Scaled Serpent wouldn't have said that Lin Yi and the others were tributes. The two were clearly on equal footing, and the Red Scaled Serpent would never give any tribute to the Primordial King Goumang. Moreover, from their tone, it was clear that they were fighting for the tribute!
"Hiss hiss, so this darn bird didn't explain it to you?" Red Scaled Serpent was a little surprised as it hissed, "Darn bird, that's where you're wrong. Since you want to capture them as tribute, you can't possibly keep them in the dark, right? Otherwise, why would they be willing to work with you? You darn birds have such ugly faces for nothing. It's a pity that you've never had a brain since ancient times! "
"Don't have a brain? Red Scaled Serpent, do you believe I won't skin you alive today to restore the glory of the Primordial Goumang race!? "Primordial King Goumang bellowed angrily.
"I say you don't have a brain, but you really don't. What kind of bullsh * t glory have you darn birds ever had? Besides, even if we did have a tiny bit of glory, it's only because our Red Scaled Serpent race was hoodwinked by you in primordial times and foolishly worked for you for a period of time. What else is there to mention? "Red Scaled Serpent hissed disdainfully.
"Hoodwinked? Hmph, our Primordial Goumang race's coming-of-age ceremony has always been to capture two Red Scaled Serpents as close companions. All of this is based on true strength. If not for that lord, your Red Scaled Serpent race would only be our vassal. You wouldn't have the right to stand here and talk to me! "Primordial King Goumang said condescendingly.
