Upon hearing Chu Xingyun's words, the Demon Spirit Empress stood up abruptly and stared at Chu Xingyun.
Although Chu Xingyun's words weren't so direct, the meaning behind his words was clear.
At this moment, the Demon Spirits and humans were still in a hostile state and weren't considered friends.
Under such circumstances, if Chu Xingyun were to trade a large number of Arrow Bamboos to the Demon Spirit Clan, it would make the Demon Spirit Clan even more powerful. That would be supporting the enemy.
Therefore, if the Demon Spirit Empress wanted to make a deal with Chu Xingyun, she had to first become friends with Chu Xingyun and remove the hostile state with humans. Otherwise, Chu Xingyun would never make the deal.
Hmph!
Just as Chu Xingyun and the Demon Spirit Empress were looking at each other, a low, cold snort was heard.
As the cold snort was heard, Chu Xingyun only felt the surrounding air instantly solidify.
Under the strong sense of crisis, Chu Xingyun almost wanted to immediately unseal the All-Creation Phenomenon and summon the Black Hole.
However, in the end, Chu Xingyun only moved his fingers and didn't really do it.
With just a slight hesitation, Chu Xingyun had completely lost the opportunity. The surrounding air had completely solidified, and Chu Xingyun couldn't even move a finger.
It wasn't just Chu Xingyun. The 20 maids on the altar, as well as the Demon Spirit Empress herself, were all imprisoned on the spot. Apart from their thoughts, everything else was imprisoned.
Amidst the silence, an incomparably huge black shadow slowly rose from the bottomless abyss behind the mountain range.
It was a gigantic Abyssal Beetle.
This beetle's body was a hundred meters long, and its pitch-black carapace was covered with mysterious patterns, forming an incomparably mysterious and simple pattern. At first glance, people couldn't help but be dazzled.
It was the first time Chu Xingyun had seen such a powerful creature. Although there was no evidence, Chu Xingyun knew that this was the legendary Emperor level Abyss Beetle.
The reason why he was so sure was because Chu Xingyun knew where the Martial Emperor's limit was.
As a former peak Martial Emperor, a half-step Emperor existence, Chu Xingyun knew very well that the pressure emitted by this Abyss Beetle was definitely not something a Martial Emperor level expert could compare to.
Not only was it a junior Martial Emperor, but even a half-step Emperor was far from comparable to it.
The hundred-meter-long Abyss Emperor, which looked like a huge spaceship, floated in mid-air and stared coldly at Chu Xingyun with its three eyes.
After a while, the Abyss Emperor's rough voice rang out again. "How much bamboo do you have? How much can you provide each month?"
As the Abyss Emperor spoke, the pressure on Chu Xingyun's body suddenly lightened, and he could speak again.
After pondering for a while, Chu Xingyun said, "Heavenly Craft Island is hundreds of kilometers long, and the island is covered with Arrow Bamboo. No one can calculate how many there are."
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, the Abyss Emperor was silent for a while, then said, "I know that Heavenly Craft Island is very big. How about this … I'll buy all the bamboo on the island. You name your price!"
Shrugging helplessly, Chu Xingyun said with a wry smile, "What do you mean by buying all the bamboo on the island? Will you only buy one stalk? Or will all the future ones belong to you? "
Hmm?
Looking at Chu Xingyun in confusion, the Abyss Emperor asked, "Isn't the bamboo gone after harvesting? Why are you still talking about the stalks? "
Looking at the Abyss Emperor speechlessly, it was clear that … this guy lived in the underground world. Although his intelligence was higher than most humans after becoming the Emperor, his experience and knowledge were still very lacking.
While thinking, Chu Xingyun explained, "It's like this. Even if you take away all the bamboo on the island, as long as it rains, the bamboo shoots on the island will sprout again. In a month at most, the island will be lush and green again."
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, the Demon Spirit Empress and the Abyss Emperor were both speechless.
With their experience in planting shrubs, how could they understand the growth speed of Arrow Bamboo?
Shrubs took a few years to grow, and once cut down, they had to be replanted.
The mature Arrow Bamboo was about ten meters tall, and it took less than a month for them to grow to this height.
It could be said that this bamboo resource was basically inexhaustible on Heavenly Craft Island.
Originally, the Abyss Emperor only wanted to buy all the bamboo on the island to improve the strength of the most elite troops in the Abyss army and improve their food.
But now, he suddenly heard that such perfect food was not only available on the entire island, but also inexhaustible!
If possible, the Abyss Emperor wanted to directly rush to Heavenly Craft Island and occupy the entire island as the nest of the Abyssal Demon Bugs. Unfortunately, he knew very well that this was impossible.
Once he reached the surface, no matter how hard his armor was, it wouldn't be as hard as the Emperor's Imperial Weapon under the joint forces of the five human Emper. He would inevitably die in battle.
Anxiously, the Abyss Emperor shouted, "I don't care so much, in short … I want bamboo, a lot of bamboo! The more the better … "
Looking helplessly at the Abyss Emperor, Chu Xingyun said, "It doesn't matter to me, but to collect and transport so much bamboo requires a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources."
Without enough benefits, even if I have the heart, I don't have the ability to support the entire project.
Benefits?
Looking blankly at Chu Xingyun, the Abyss Emperor said, "What benefits do you want? We don't have anything. "
Speaking of this, the Abyss Emperor suddenly remembered something and turned to the Demon Spirit Empress, "By the way, although we Abyssal Beetles don't have anything, these treants seem to have collected a lot of things."
His eyes lit up with excitement, the Abyss Emperor said, "How about this, I'll give these little treants to you. If there's anything, you can let them do it. Everything they have will be given to you. How much bamboo can I get in exchange?"
Little treants?
Looking at the Demon Spirit Empress in confusion, Chu Xingyun was confused. What kind of treants are these?
Facing Chu Xingyun's confusion, the Abyss Emperor said, "Yes, these little treants are willing to plant trees for us and seek our protection. What's wrong … Is there a problem?"
Hearing the Abyss Emperor's words, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but smile bitterly.
On the surface, the Demon Spirit Clan looked extremely glorious, even defeating the human army.
But in fact, the so-called Demon Spirit Clan was just a weak clan that had no way out and relied on the protection of the Abyssal Beetles.
If the Abyssal Beetles no longer protected them, then the Demon Spirit Clan would instantly become the prey of other underground creatures, and they wouldn't be able to survive at all.
Under Chu Xingyun's gaze, the Demon Spirit Empress stood there proudly, her beautiful eyes filled with humiliation and sadness.
In this world, the strong preyed on the weak. Without enough strength to support it, it was impossible to protect dignity.
In the past, the Demon Spirit Clan planted shrubs for the Abyssal Beetles, so the two clans relied on each other, helped each other, and respected each other.
