The last time the Greedy Soul was so quiet was when it met the mysterious old woman. But back then, it was afraid of being discovered. Now that it was discovered, it didn't dare to say a word.
This meant that the two souls were extremely afraid of this thing.
"Black cat, you don't have to scare them. If I'm not wrong, you don't have the ability to hurt any of us." Zhou Yang smiled.
"Little friend, you're smart, but don't be too confident. Did you know that a long time ago, there were three chains here?" Black cat said.
Zhou Yang looked at the stone wall. Just like what Black cat said, there were two black rings with iron chains hanging on the stone wall.
"So what?"
"The first chain chained the little dragon soul in your body. Unfortunately, it compromised and became the inheritance. It can only wait for someone else to inherit it." Black cat said in disdain.
Zhou Yang frowned. "What about the second one?"
"You must have seen the second one. It's that boring demon who likes to play games with human nature. He compromised too. In order to help the Black Scale Cave find an heir, he used his treasures and abilities to test you. If I'm not wrong, he and his men probably didn't even collect one-third of the copper coins. Haha …" Black cat laughed as it spoke.
"You're saying that they wanted the copper coins in exchange for freedom?" Zhou Yang was confused.
"Of course. Otherwise, why would they want money in this godforsaken cave?"
"Then who is he going to use the money to exchange for freedom?"
"Of course it's the butler. Doesn't he like to play games? So, the butler played a game with him. He got him to take out his money and pass various tests to distribute it to you. Then, he'll take it back according to the rules. When he gets it all back, he'll be free. Haha … what an idiot."
"What about you? Why didn't you compromise?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.
"Hmph, with my identity, why would I compromise with him?" Black cat said in disdain.
"So you're playing tricks here, trying to trick others into unlocking your chains." Zhou Yang smiled and turned to leave.
"Wait!"
Just then, Black cat suddenly stopped Zhou Yang.
"I don't have time to listen to your story." Zhou Yang shook his head.
"Then you're not interested in the final treasure of the Black Scale Cave?"
"The final treasure …" Zhou Yang turned around and shook his head. "I will find the treasure myself. You don't have to worry."
"Haha … … idiot! You're such an idiot! Did you really think that the treasures were prepared for you? You're just walking into a trap!" The black cat laughed out loud.
"A trap? But how do I know if your words are also a trap? "Zhou Yang frowned.
"You can ask the little female dragon in your body. She might be able to answer your question."
"Lascivious, is what he said true?" Zhou Yang asked.
"This … actually … actually, I think it's a trap too. However, only the butler knows whether it's true or not. This guy is the oldest life in the cave. Perhaps he does know …" Lascivious said with uncertainty.
Zhou Yang nodded and looked at the big black cat. "Looks like you want to make a deal with me, right?"
"Of course." The black cat said with a tone of admiration: "This deal is definitely worth it for you. You only need to use a little bit of power to open the chains, and I will tell you a secret that can save your life and even help you get the real treasure."
"Tell me about it …" Zhou Yang smiled.
"You unlock it first. I'll tell you."
"How can I unlock it for you if you don't tell me? What if you don't know anything? "
"Then how do I know? What if you'll just leave like the previous one if I tell you?"
"The previous one. It seems that I'm not the only one who knows about the secret." Zhou Yang smiled.
"That's why you should make this deal with me. Otherwise, if others know about it but you don't, it'll be worse." The black cat said cunningly.
Zhou Yang thought for a while and his eyes showed determination. "You can only choose to believe me. Otherwise, the deal is off."
"You …"
The black cat suddenly became irritated, but Zhou Yang's determination made him not dare to reject him directly.
"Good boy, you win. I'll tell you first."
The black cat finally compromised. After a while, it said in a low voice, "You must think that the final treasure is related to the Ancient Totem Jade, right?"
"Shouldn't it be?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.
"Wrong, very wrong. The Ancient Totem Jade is indeed the way to enter here, but it's also a trap. As long as you have the Ancient Totem Jade with you, when you reach the final treasure, your life force will be sucked dry. That's the trap."
"If they're after the life force, why didn't they let everyone come but only nine?"
"Why? It's too simple. Because there are only nine Ancient Totem Jades and only nine people can come in. That's why they must let the most talented ones in. That's why there are so many tests along the way … "
Zhou Yang carefully thought about the black cat's words. Although there were many loopholes, it was not impossible.
"Greedy Soul, do you think the possibility of what he said is high?"
"Half true and half false. We can't believe it completely, but at least we can be prepared." Greedy Soul said.
Zhou Yang nodded and looked at the black cat. "I'll believe you for now."
"Then help me unlock it." The black cat said eagerly.
"Zhou Yang, you can't. You can't unlock it." Greedy Soul said anxiously.
"Little female dragon, don't forget that I was the one who helped you keep the Dragon Ball." The black cat then looked at Zhou Yang and said, "Everyone has the right to pursue freedom. Besides, if you let me go, I will never leave the Black Scale Cave for the rest of my life. You're just giving me a limited freedom. Are you going to go back on your words?"
"I'll do what I say."
After saying that, Zhou Yang walked to the black cat and unlocked the chain.
Whoosh!
In an instant, a black shadow rushed out of the cave and stopped at the entrance.
"Kid, you're a man of your word. I admire you."
"Then shouldn't you tell me something useful?" Zhou Yang said coldly.
"Haha … Okay, I'll tell you one more thing. What I said just now was false. Only by gathering all nine Ancient Totem Jades can you get the real treasure. But you might die."
After saying that, the black cat disappeared.
"This thing … What is it?" Greedy Soul seemed to be asking Lascivious Soul.
"I don't know. I know that his aura is older than our Dragon Clan, and he seems to know the Dragon Clan better than us. He knows almost everything. What's more terrifying is that he can read our minds. If it wasn't for the fact that I couldn't stand it anymore, I wouldn't have compromised with the Head Butler." Lascivious Soul said with lingering fear.
"Who is the Head Butler?"
Zhou Yang asked as he walked.
"I don't know. I've only heard his voice. I don't know who he is, but I'm sure that even he doesn't know the origin of the black cat. That's why he didn't agree when the black cat wanted to make a deal with him."
"So it's not that he didn't compromise, it's that he didn't dare to compromise even if he wanted to." Greedy Soul laughed.
"Yes, the Little Devil King once said that this guy might have been locked here before the Black Scale Cave. Even the chain that chained us was made by the Head Butler based on the black cat's chain."
"Wait a minute!"
Zhou Yang immediately stopped and quickly walked back.
The black chain on the ground looked ordinary and had no power.
