Within Ruohai Straits, within a large tent in the barracks. Zong Shou had a bitter face as he looked at the items in his hands.
After a night of plundering, he only obtained 2 pill bottles as well as a few grade 6 beast crystals.
Next, there were a few spiritual weapons placed at the side that were slightly more valuable.
"Just this little? Small heaven and earth bag? Didn't you all just return from Jiefu City? Don't tell me you returned empty-handed? Forget about the others, there should be at least 8 or 10 of these earth energy pills right? I heard Tan Tao say that Gantian Mountain and Xuan Mountain City would purchase 10-20 earth energy pills from the Donglin sects to be used as offerings for Xuanwu ancestors … "
"The small heaven and earth bag is something only hidden sects have. If your Gantian Mountain doesn't have it, then naturally our Blazing Flame Mountain doesn't have it?"
Xiong Kui half knelt on the ground, his expression helpless. He looked at Zong Shou like he was looking at an idiot, "As for Jiefu City, who conned our Blazing Flame Mountain? Our Blazing Flame Mountain exchanged for less than 15 earth energy pills and most of them had to be sent back. Even as the prince of Blazing Flame Mountain, I can't be greedy. I only have 2, I'm not lying! "
Zong Shou couldn't help but facepalm, only feeling that his little heart couldn't take it anymore. He originally thought that this time he would be able to get back some of his money. However, the truth was that apart from the 4 earth energy pills he got from Xiong Kui and Feng Yu, he didn't have a single valuable item.
The barracks that he had so much hope for only had 7 days of grain stored. Although it was enough for 400 thousand people, its value couldn't be compared to one flame storm arrow. Next would be some stone and earth materials used to build the city.
Ah, right! There were also millions of arrows, 20 thousand sets of spare weapons and armor as well as 200 thousand grade 2 beast crystals.
These were probably the only valuable items. Unfortunately, most of them couldn't be carried. They could only regretfully burn or just toss them away.
This time it wasn't an exaggeration to say that they lost everything!
Zong Shou couldn't help but grit his teeth. This was why he had to get the monster king position. If they didn't hold Gantian Mountain in their hands, they wouldn't have any chance of winning.
As for the way he looked at Xiong Kui, his gaze gradually became dangerous. He rubbed his chin and started to ponder.
"How about this, Zong Yuan, chop off one of his fingers and send it back to Raging Flame Mountain. Tell his father that I will only release him if he pays at least 20 grade 7 beast crystals as ransom. "
Xiong Kui's face immediately turned pale. Seeing Zong Yuan, who was standing behind Zong Shou, suddenly took a step forward, he hastily waved his hand and said, "Hold on! It's just a finger. I, Xiong Kui, don't care. However, according to the rules of my Flame Bear Clan, as long as one has been captured by others, it is impossible for one to inherit the position of Patriarch. With my father's personality, he probably wouldn't even pay a single grade 1 beast crystal. Even if you cut off my fingers, it would be useless. "
Zong Shou was startled. He looked at Zong Yuan and Ruoshui with a questioning gaze.
The 2 of them slightly nodded their heads to show that what Xiong Kui said was true.
Zong Shou instantly felt a chill in his heart. He was originally planning to extort a sum of money and then do something to Xiong Kui's soul before releasing him, killing many birds with one stone.
However, hearing what Xiong Kui said, it seemed like he didn't even have half a grade 1 beast crystal. It was impossible for him to get it.
His eyes couldn't help but turn even colder, shining uncertainly.
… He didn't have the small heaven and earth bag, he didn't have the earth energy pill, and he couldn't exchange for money. Then what was the point of this fellow living?
Taking in a deep breath, Zong Shou had a thought, "Zong Yuan, after that Feng Yu's head is made into a urinal, can it be sold for money? Don't lie to me. "
Zong Yuan's face instantly twitched. However, his tone was still calm as he said, "Reporting to the prince, during these few years, many people in Gantian Mountain have died in the hands of Feng Yu. Amongst which there were tens of them who came from large races, their families were all rich. Naturally, there were many who had grievances with Xiong Kui. "
Zong Shou's eyes instantly lit up. Xiong Kui's huge body, in his eyes, had become a shining golden urinal. At that time, it was best if people inlaid a few gems on it and made it into a piece of art. Most probably, he could sell it for a high price.
When Xiong Kui heard that, he wanted to cry but no tears came out. He originally wanted to prevent his head from being made into a drowning vessel which was why he gave up his pride and chose to surrender. However, hearing Zong Shou's tone, it seemed like he still couldn't avoid the fate of becoming a urinal.
Thinking about how in the future other people's golden liquid was going to be poured into his head, he felt goosebumps all over his body. It was unbearable.
Just as his heart was filled with despair, Xiong Kui had an idea. His eyes rolled as he said decisively, "I, Xiong Kui, can't take out the money. However, I know the defensive map and spiritual formation structure of Blazing Flame Mountain City."
Only then did Zong Shou retract his killing intent, smiling, "At least you know your place. However, if you want to exchange for this life, it is still not enough. Continue … "
Xiong Kui heaved a sigh of relief. Since he had already opened his mouth, then he didn't hesitate anymore. Without any psychological burden, he said, "I also know the defensive maps of all the cities under Blazing Flame Mountain as well as the strength of their troops. Even the grievances of the various races in Blazing Flame Mountain, who is my father's trusted aide, who wants to rebel, I can tell you all of that. Is the prince satisfied with all of this? "
Zong Shou kept silent, not agreeing or disagreeing. After a long while, just as Xiong Kui started to feel uneasy, he suddenly smiled, "Defensive map of Blazing Flame Mountain City? It is tempting, but it is still too far away. Zong Shou remembers that your flame xiong race has a heart technique passed down from generation to generation. What is it called? Emperor flame spiritual technique, it is said that it has a huge secret and is related to the orthodoxy of an ancient monster emperor? "
Hearing the words monster emperor orthodoxy, that Zong Yuan and Chu Xue were both shocked.
Xiong Kui's face instantly turned ashen white. This time, his expression was solemn and he didn't say a single word. The glow in his eyes slowly turned deathly silent.
Zong Shou's eyes squinted. Looking at the situation, he knew that he wouldn't be able to get anything out of him. He didn't care, waving his hand, "Zong Yuan and Xue, you all back off to the door!"
Zong Yuan's brows couldn't help but furrow as he looked closely at Xiong Kui. He didn't hesitate, retreating a hundred feet out with Chu Xue.
Following which Zong Shou didn't speak, his eyes half closed like he was asleep. Xiong Kui's breathing slowly became heavier and heavier. His arms suddenly clenched and then loosened. Even after a long while, he still didn't make any movements.
Zong Shou broke out into a laugh, "You don't dare? There won't be such a good chance in the future. If you can capture me and bring me back to Blazing Flame Mountain. Not only are you not at fault, but you are also rewarded. Are you so afraid? Zong Yuan, back off another hundred feet! "
Zong Yuan's brows furrowed. Just as he was about to back out of the tent. Xiong Kui's body suddenly exploded.
His body exploded out like beans exploding. The chakra meridians that should have been locked up were all shaken open. He was like a bowstring that was released after being suppressed to the extreme. He roared as he grabbed Zong Shou. His body was shining with a flame.
Seeing that Zong Yuan and Chu Xue were hundreds of feet away, it was too late to save him. Joy flashed in Xiong Kui's eyes.
Success! Although he didn't know why this Zong Shou was so dumb. He also didn't understand the many suspicious points within. He only knew that as long as he captured this Zong Shou, he would be able to escape today. Who knows, he might even be able to wash away the humiliation and take down this Zong Shou and Zong Yuan's heads to play with.
His hand was already inches away from Zong Shou. Just as he was feeling excited. Suddenly, a smile appeared on Zong Shou's face.
Then, he casually stepped to the left and avoided it. It was actually at a blind spot that Xiong Kui's hand couldn't reach.
The sword light in his right hand flashed as it pierced through the dense energy. He viciously used the back of the sword to viciously smack the side of Xiong Kui's arm.
Xiong Kui also felt a wave of numbness in his right hand. He felt as if he had been bitten by a poisonous snake. Then, an extremely tricky Qi force suddenly penetrated his body and spread out in all directions. He had to go all out to barely block the sudden cold and sudden heat, causing his body to go numb.
However, at this moment, Xiong Kui's eyes were filled with confusion. What he cared about in his heart wasn't the chaotic true qi in his body. What he cared about was the exquisite dodge of Zong Shou, that totally unexpected sword.
Only when he nearly charged out of the tent did he come back to his senses. His eyes instantly constricted into a needle shape.
Not only did this Zong Shou know martial arts, but his strength wasn't bad! He was actually at the xiantian realm, his sword technique was exquisite!
As expected, rumors couldn't be trusted. People only knew that purple lightning spear Zong Yuan had lost all his spiritual energy and would disappear into the crowd. However, he suddenly exploded out, comprehending the maniac lightning spear sense and killing 4 Xuanwu ancestors!
This Zong Shou, the trash in the rumors, actually hid his strength so deeply.
… A 14 year old xiantian, he was known as one of the top talents of Blazing Flame Mountain. With the help of medicine, he only broke through to the xiantian realm when he was 21!
This Zong Shou was only 14 and reached the xiantian realm!
Speaking of which, Zong Yuan retreated because he knew that his master would be fine …
However, he didn't have any intentions of retreating. The difference between the two of them was still 5 grades. His combat strength could be compared to Xuanwu ancestors and he also had trump cards that he hadn't used yet. He didn't believe that he couldn't capture this Zong Shou. This 14 year old kid couldn't be more overpowered than Zong Yuan!
The moment such a thought rose up, just as Xiong Kui was about to break out of the tent, he suddenly turned around. The flames around his body increased by several times. Then, they condensed and turned into a silver-white color. The aura around his body was even more domineering as it covered the entire tent.
Xiong Kui's body also became much faster at this moment. His entire body turned into an afterimage as he grabbed out with a palm toward the teen. The entire process was the same as before, trying to be as silent as possible.
The corner of Zong Shou's lips curled up. As expected! What Xiong Kui trained in was the secret technique of the flame xiong race, the emperor flame spiritual art! In his last life, he only occasionally saw an incomplete version. The chant was lacking too much, and he was unable to understand some of the crucial parts. At this moment, through the energy that was injected into his body, he could feel how he used his true qi. Those parts that he couldn't fix were instantly clear. (To be continued.
