Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum!
Hum! Hum! Li Yao's every brain cell was vibrating crazily. His computational ability was soaring as he recalled what Bai Xinghe looked like in the precious moment just now.
He was still wearing the Dragon King Battlesuit, but it had been twisted in the high-intensity battle. The eight dragon heads that had been swaggering before were now dangling. Two of the dragon heads had been completely chopped off, leaving only half of their artificial limbs. They looked like eels that had been skinned and beheaded.
Other than his broken left arm, which was bleeding nonstop, there was also a shocking hole in his abdomen. Although he was trying to suppress it with his spiritual energy, Li Yao could still see his broken internal organs through the blood and flesh.
Bai Xinghe was extremely weak.
But Li Yao could guarantee with his head that it was definitely a disguise.
Right now, Li Yao had two choices. Or rather, he had chased after Bai Xinghe for two purposes.
If Bai Xinghe still had the ability to fight, Li Yao would try his best to cooperate with him so that he could recover some of his strength and gather the remaining soldiers. He would stall the Temple of Immortals like a sticky, stinky plaster and try to exhaust the Immortal Cultivators.
But if Bai Xinghe was truly heavily wounded and dying, Li Yao would kill him first and then …
Rob him of the Dragon King Battlesuit, the best Crystal Suit on Spider Den!
Although Li Yao had not killed many people for their treasures, since his enemy was the Pirate Potentate who had committed countless murders, he would not feel guilty at all.
Li Yao had witnessed the magnificence of the Dragon King Battlesuit with his own eyes. Although he had been betrayed by his disciple and attacked by two Yuanying, Bai Xinghe had still killed at least three Core Formation Stage Cultivators instantly with the Dragon King Battlesuit!
The eight extensible artificial limbs of the Dragon King Battlesuit and the 'dragon balls' that can condense spiritual energy are all ultimate magical equipment!
If the Dragon King Battlesuit and the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit are combined, the eight 'dragon heads' can be dismantled and installed on the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Wouldn't it be the strongest battlesuit of the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Flying Star Sector, and the Blood Demon Sector?
Li Yao let his imagination run wild.
It all depended on Bai Xinghe's capability whether they would be saved or killed.
Li Yao hadn't figured out the other party's background yet. The scenes on the transport ship flashed before his eyes. He knew very well that he was asking a tiger for its skin, so naturally, he would not let his guard down.
In the confrontation between the two, Li Yao held the initiative and was not afraid of stalling for time. In the end, it was Bai Xinghe who couldn't hold it back anymore. He said solemnly in the darkness, "I'm told that a brutal man named 'Bloody Vulture' has emerged in Fengyu Zhong's camp recently. He is quite good at crystal bombs. Is he you, young brother?"
"Just now, you were the first to rush out, but you intentionally distracted Fengyu Zhong and the rest of them with crystal bombs so that I could escape. Why?"
Li Yao said, "What if I say that I actually admire Boss Bai and pretended to join Fengyu Zhong? However, he is preparing to counterattack at the most critical moment and make a great contribution. Do you believe me, Boss Bai? "
"No," Bai Xinghe replied.
Li Yao nodded and continued. "What if I say that I think that I can get more benefits by helping Boss Bai hide than I can by handing him over? Therefore, I let Boss Bai go on purpose because Boss Bai is in charge of me. I secretly performed a tracking skill and found Boss Bai on my own. If Boss Bai didn't give me a lot of benefits to shut my mouth, I wouldn't have been able to do anything to Boss Bai. If Boss Bai didn't offer me anything, I would've left and sabotaged Boss Bai's escape plan at the risk of my own life … Would you believe me, Boss Bai? "
"Your explanation makes a lot more sense," Bai Xinghe said.
"A cunning rabbit has three burrows," Li Yao continued. "Boss Bai wouldn't tell all his secrets to his chief true disciple, would he? After all, he is just a disciple. He is not your son. Even if he were, I'm told that Boss Bai killed one of them. "
However, Bai Xinghe turned a deaf ear to his words and said peacefully, "You do have a point. I do have a few hiding places where a lot of valuable items are hidden. Cultivation arts, techniques, magical equipment, crystal suits … You have everything you need. As long as — cough, cough — you can help me reach my hiding place, I can give you whatever you want." Bai Xinghe smiled bitterly and said, "That's true. I do have some hiding places. A lot of valuable items have been hidden there.
"Boss Bai," Li Yao said, "you don't have to pretend that you are heavily wounded by coughing. However heavily wounded you are, I don't believe that you can't even hold back your coughs.
"Of course, I want your treasures, and it's not a problem to escort you to your hiding place. But the problem is, how can I trust you?
"This place is not far away from the surface, and you are heavily wounded. If I fight you, Fengyu Zhong's subordinates will notice me immediately. Therefore, even if you hate my guts, it is unlikely that you will fight me here.
"In this place, I'm not scared at all.
"However, if we reach your hiding place, which is your secret nest, there will be countless traps and traps under your control. Also, with your Cultivation as a Yuanying monster, even if your internal organs are broken, you can more or less recover them after some time.
"At that time, if you suddenly make things difficult for me, I won't be able to call for help."
"If the problem is not resolved, our cooperation, or rather, our deal, will always be a castle in the air without any foundation!"
There was admiration in Bai Xinghe's voice. "Not bad. My young friend Bloody Vulture is very considerate. This is indeed a serious problem! Truth be told, my young friend, I am indeed thinking about skinning you, mincing your bones, and scattering your ashes the moment I get the chance. Hehehehe. You don't mind, do you? "
Li Yao smiled. "I don't mind. I don't mind at all. It's only natural that Boss Bai has such an idea. I can understand it very well."
Bai Xinghe nodded. "It seems that we are stuck here. I'm like a piece of meat with bones stuck in your throat. Your stomach will be hurt if you swallow me, but you won't be satisfied if you spit me out. It's really a dilemma.
"However, since my young friend Bloody Vulture has thought of that and is bold enough to track me, I believe that you have a perfect solution. Why don't you tell me about it?"
"Shua!"
Li Yao took out a piece of magical equipment the size of an egg, which was round and green and seemed to be made of jade, from his Cosmos Ring and tossed it over.
"Truth be told, I do admire Boss Bai a lot. I've imagined countless times that I would be in the same boat with Boss Bai one day. How should we cooperate?
"Boss Bai is the Pirate Potentate. He is as tough as a tiger, as bold as a lion, and as smart as the sky. His schemes are deeper than the ocean! All you need to do is open your mouth and yawn, and an insignificant sparrow like me will be swallowed from my skin to my bones!
"Working with you is like having one foot in the Yellow Springs of Hell. If I blink, chances are that my head will be gone.
"Therefore, after much deliberation, I finally came up with a very stupid solution.
"This is a medium-sized crystal bomb that contains a tiny marrow crystal. It is connected to my brain through telepathic thought reception rune arrays. It can be detonated in three ways.
"Firstly, as long as I chant the spell in my head, it will be detonated.
"Secondly. When my heart stops beating or my brainwaves stop releasing, it will be detonated immediately.
"Thirdly, the crystal bomb will be detonated immediately when it is more than a hundred meters away from me!
"Boss Bai, please take a closer look. This crystal bomb is the culmination of my painstaking efforts. Interlocking defense rune arrays have been carved on it. It will never explode except under the above three circumstances! No matter how strong the blast, pressure, and vibration is, it will never explode!
"Right now. Boss Bai, please open your mouth slowly and … swallow the crystal bomb.
"With Boss Bai's expertise, of course, you can control your muscles freely and fix the crystal bomb between your stomach and stomach.
"In such a case, Boss Bai will be slightly more powerful than before. Therefore, I will have some leverage to balance Boss Bai. Our cooperation and trade can also be carried out on the premise of equality, mutual benefit and mutual trust. Don't you think so? "
Bai Xinghe's voice was gentle and deep. Gradually, it turned sharp, mixed with the fury of being fooled. "Hehe. The world has truly changed. Even an insignificant Building Foundation Stage Cultivator dares to play tricks in front of me!"
Li Yao said calmly, "Boss Bai, there's no need to pretend to be angry. You and I both know that, with the capability of a Yuanying Monster, it is very likely that the crystal bomb will not kill you.
"Even if you are fatally wounded, I believe that you have a hundred ways to kill an insignificant Building Foundation Stage Cultivator like me before you are killed!
"Therefore, unless I'm out of my mind, how can I detonate the crystal bomb on my own?
"The most important point in a deal is that the two parties must be on par with each other. If one party is far stronger than the other, such a deal will fall apart at any moment.
"My proposal is just a precaution so that both parties can kill each other. It is called 'balance of terror'.
"If you really do not want to suffer such humiliation, it's fine. Let's take action now. Let's see if Fengyu Zhong and the people of the Temple of Immortals can find this place by following the sounds of explosions and fighting!
"You are free to think about it. However, I can't guarantee that I was not discovered when I came down. Chances are that Fengyu Zhong and the rest of them have followed the clues and will find this place at any moment."
Like a silent turtle, Bai Xinghe pondered for a long time. In the end, he smiled bitterly. "It seems that I'm really old now. First, it was Bai Wulei. Now, it's my young friend Bloody Vulture.
"Spider Den is destined to be the world of young people like you in the future."
The Pirate Potentate was also a man of his word. Realizing that the situation was not in his favor, he really picked up the crystal bomb, opened his facial cover, and swallowed it!
"My young friend Bloody Vulture, do you want to sense me with your spiritual energy and see if I really swallowed the crystal bomb or if it was just a trick?"
Bai Xinghe patted his belly and said casually.
"I've already sensed it. The crystal bomb is indeed inside Boss Bai's stomach. Now, Boss Bai, you can tell me how we can escape now."
"This place is surrounded by venomous gas," Li Yao said. "There shouldn't be a second way out. Boss Bai, you don't want to be a coward in this place for a year and a half, hoping that Fengyu Zhong won't find this place, do you?"
Bai Xinghe chuckled in a low voice and floated up with the help of the Dragon King Battlesuit.
Li Yao did not let his guard down just because the guy had swallowed the crystal bomb. Every hair on his body was still standing, ready to summon the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit at the first sign of trouble.
Bai Xinghe, on the other hand, groped for the ceiling and started digging carefully.
Li Yao was dazed for a moment. He turned on the illumination technique of his crystal camera and looked at the ceiling.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Shua! Shua! Countless mud, stones, and moss were falling off from their heads. A complicated rune array was gradually revealed on the bare ceiling.
Bai Xinghe took out a bizarre-shaped crystal that looked like a cat's claw from his pocket and pressed it into a dent on the ceiling softly. After a click, the crystal fit perfectly into the dent without the slightest gap.
Zi … Zi …
After the crystal was embedded, the whole rune array seemed to have been woken up. Glamorous brilliance was emitted, making it look like the brilliant stars in the night sky.
"You are truly lucky," Bai Xinghe said gloomily.
Bai Xinghe said gloomily, "I agreed to cooperate with you not because I was scared that Fengyu Zhong would be attracted before I killed you, but because I was scared that the teleportation array on the ceiling would be destroyed if we fought in this place!"
