"Come if you have the guts!" Goumang laughed coldly.
The two big fellows were at each other's throats, and the people below watched with their mouths agape. They had been on tenterhooks until just now. Be it Goumang King or the red-scaled snake, either one of them was enough to wipe them out, especially if they were to attack together. No matter how strong Lin Yi was, he wouldn't be able to protect them. Who would've thought that the two would start fighting each other first?
"Haha, looks like the ancient Goumang and red-scaled snakes have a deep relationship. This matches up with the ancient legends." Lin Yi couldn't help but smile, but he was more concerned about the great sir Goumang King had mentioned!
It was obvious that the great sir's existence suppressed the hatred between the two races. From this, it could be deduced that the tribute they were talking about was to satisfy the great sir's request.
A playful smile appeared on Lin Yi's lips. Interesting, very interesting. This place that only appeared once in a thousand years really did have some hidden dragons and crouching tigers!
"Boss, what do we do now? Should we use this chance to slip away? " Chentian didn't dare make a sound, afraid of alerting the two murderous fellows. He only mouthed.
The others looked at Lin Yi as well, thinking the same thing- if the two really started fighting, they wouldn't just be spectators. They'd be caught up in the shockwaves, and they'd have to be quick if they wanted to slip away.
"We can't." Lin Yi shook his head faintly. Those two might look like they were about to fight, but in reality, they had been paying attention to their every move. If there was even the slightest bit of movement, they'd be the first to attack.
"Then what do we do?" Lingshan and the others looked at each other. If they didn't think of a way to slip away, they couldn't just stay here and watch, could they? They'd really lose their lives if they weren't careful, and they wouldn't even have a chance to slip away after the outcome was decided.
"Don't be too nervous. Let's just wait and see." Lin Yi smiled. To Lingshan and the others, this was indeed a scene that they couldn't even breathe, but to him, it was just a show.
At that moment, the primordial King Goumang and the gigantic Scarlet Scaled Snake were already at daggers drawn. Despite the fuse having been lit, the two suddenly stopped.
"Hmph, on account of that lord, I'll let you off today!" King Goumang snorted coldly.
"Hiss hiss, who is going to let who go? You damn bird, you really know how to talk big!" The Red Scaled Serpent hissed in laughter. It then glanced at Lin Yi and the others below and said, "How about this, we'll split the tributes evenly and mind our own business."
"It's clearly the territory of our primordial Goumang clan. Why should we split it equally? What wishful thinking!" Primordial King Goumang curled his lips in disdain as he said in a tone of charity, "How about this? I'll leave the tribute in your territory to you. Everyone will take care of their own territories, or don't blame me for not standing on ceremony!"
"So there's no room for discussion?" The Red Scaled Serpent was enraged. After witnessing Lin Yi's speed, it knew that capturing Lin Yi wasn't realistic at all. If it really did as he said, it wouldn't even get a single tribute, and would face heavy punishment.
"Of course …" King Goumang hadn't even finished his sentence when the Red Scaled Serpent swooped down towards Lingshan and the others. He was both shocked and angry, "How dare you break the lord's rules! You're courting death!"
King Goumang didn't dare fall behind and swooped down as well. He couldn't miss out on the rare human tributes that were delivered to his doorstep. Even if he died, he wouldn't let that bastard Red Scaled Serpent have it!
Lingshan and the others were shocked, their faces filled with fear. Now, not only did they not get to watch the show, they'd become the target of everyone. Even if they had a few lives, it wouldn't be enough to kill them!
These two were strong existences on par with a golden core late stage, and their defensive formation could at most deal with a foundation establishment level attack. It was completely useless in a situation like this, and even Leng Leng's Ice Prison Mirror wouldn't have any effect. They could only wait for death.
At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly said, "You two really don't seem to care about me at all, do you?"
"You're nothing in front of us!" King Goumang couldn't help but scoff at that.
"Hiss hiss, looks like you're not smart at all, but a complete idiot. You're just a little faster. You're lucky to be able to escape this disaster. Do you really think you can fight against me and this dead bird? I'm very curious, what's in your head? Is it all shit? "Red Scaled Serpent mocked without the slightest scruple.
Everyone, including Lin Yi, were tributes in their eyes. It was a fool's dream to escape their claws. Of course, it was precisely because they were tributes that they were so patient. After all, the tributes had to be alive, or the lord wouldn't be satisfied even if they were delivered. If not for that, everyone present would have long become their food.
"You'll find out what's in my head soon enough, but before that, I want to ask you one last question. What is this' Master 'you're talking about?" Lin Yi asked back calmly.
"You want to know?" Red Scaled Serpent stopped diving down and exchanged a teasing glance with King Goumang.
King Goumang also stopped and sneered. "Foolish human, as long as you follow me obediently, you will naturally be able to meet that lord. I guarantee you that you won't be disappointed."
"Oh, forget it. I'm actually not that curious. I was just mentioning it in passing." Lin Yi shook his head.
"Hiss hiss, you're not that stupid. Anyway, there are still a lot of tributes here. It doesn't matter if you're here or not. It doesn't matter even if you escape. The remaining tributes are enough for me to report." Red Scaled Serpent appeared rather carefree. It didn't feel that it was embarrassing for Lin Yi to escape. To it, as long as it could obtain enough human tributes to fulfill its mission, everything else was negotiable.
"Then … are the two of you not going to compete? Even if all of us surrender, it's still a question of who has more, right? "Lin Yi said with a teasing look.
