Chapter 156: Mutual Cooperation, Skyfire Bull Dragon

“A favor?”

Ling Jiu raised his eyebrows .

“I know a place that has a lot of energy crystals, but there’s a powerful monster there and I can’t deal with it alone .

Bai Ya went straight to the point . “I’d like to ask for your help . Let’s take down the monster together, and then split the crystals evenly . ”

“How many energy crystals we’re looking at?”

Ling Jiu raised his eyebrows and asked . He had 85 energy crystals on him now, which was already plenty among the trainees . If there were too few energy crystals, he would not be interested .

Bai Ya frowned and said, “I don’t know the specific number, but there should at least be more than a hundred pieces?”

“I’ll help with this!”

Ling Jiu’s eyes brightened . He then glanced at Wangwang, who was standing beside Bai Ya, and said faintly . “I’ll make it clear first . The split is just between us, if you want to inflate your share with freeloaders, I won’t agree to that . ”

“Hmph!”

Wangwang snorted and glared at Ling Jiu . She did have the idea of freeloading and then get a piece of the pie, but Ling Jiu saw straight through that . That made her very upset!

“Okay!”

Bai Ya’s character was cold, and her words were succinct .

“Lead the way then . ”

…

The Bai Ya sisters led the way and Ling Jiu quietly followed behind, enjoying the view of sisters’ beautiful figures .

They bodies were curvaceous and voluptuous . . Just looking at them was a sort of enjoyment in itself, not to mention…

“We’re here!”

After walking for who knows how long, the Bai Ya sisters suddenly stopped . Ling Jiu, who was admiring beautiful things, almost ran into them .

Fortunately, he had the Blink Arcana, and disappeared the moment he was about to knock into them .

“Why did you stop?”

Ling Jiu appeared not too far away, looking at the two sisters in confusion .

“Pervert, where are you looking at?”

Wangwang glared at Ling Jiu .

“Little girl, don’t run your mouth, or I’ll spank your butt!”

Ling Jiu had long attained “the divine technique of Iron Skin”, and his skin was thicker than a wall as he dropped a threat without any emotional fluctuations on his face .

“You…rogue!”

Wangwang was so pissed she stomped the ground .

“Alright, cut it . This is where the monster is . ”

Bai Ya interrupted the bickering two as she pointed to a volcano spewing black smoke before them . “The energy crystals are inside this caldera . ”

“I’ll go take a look . ”

Ling Jiu nodded and then flew over to the caldera . A scalding lake of magma appeared before him .

The magma was roiling and constantly bubbled as choking black smoke rose from it . If it was not for the filter mask, Ling Jiu would have been poisoned .

There was a stone platform in the middle of the scalding magma lake . On top of it was a huge nest made out of stone .

A giant red egg sat in the middle on the nest, while the egg itself was cushioned by a lot of white energy crystals .

“Does all monsters in this planet like to put energy crystals while hatching their eggs?” Ling Jiu laughed and mocked .

That was the case with the centipede dragon earlier on, and it was the same for the monster inside the magma .

But this was normal, although the monsters were not that intelligent, they could still definitely feel the benefits of the energy crystals, and that was why they would hoard them in their nest, to promote development of their young .

“Sister, where is the monster?”

Wangwang opened her eyes wide as she looked at the magma lake but saw no signs of the monster and could not help but ask .

“It’s hiding in the magma lake . ”

Just as Bai Ya’s voice fell, the scalding magma lake suddenly boiled violently .

The next moment, a huge head slowly emerged from the lake .

The head was shaped like a cow but with seven or eight sharp horns on its head . Aside from the pair of eyes on both sides of its head, there was a third eye at the center of its forehead .

Immediately afterwards, its body slowly emerged .

Its body was like a snake, but its skin was wrapped in a thick layer of armor with rows of long spurs on its back, looking extremely terrifying .

It was more than a hundred meters long with several eagle claw-like legs beneath its abdomen .

A bull’s head, a snake body, eagle claws, bone spurs, and armor… if one had to name it, you can call it… the Skyfire Bull Dragon!

“What a monster, it will definitely sell well . ”

Ling Jiu could not help but to be amazed by it, and Wangwang nodded her small head in agreement . “This monster does look really good . Can you not kill it later?”

“Not kill it?”

Ling Jiu raised his eyebrow .

“I want to control it and make it into my combat partner!”

Wangwang was very excited . “Its power must be strong . With it as my partner, my own strength will definitely increase greatly!”

“You have Beast Control Arcana?”

Ling Jiu was surprised .

“Yeah . ”

Wangwang nodded obediently .

“It’s harder to subdue it than killing it . I can help you with that, but I want ten more energy crystals . ” Ling Jiu looked at Bai Ya .

“Why are you like this?”

Wangwang was angry . “Even if you sell this monster, it is not worth ten energy crystals, we will give you an extra one energy crystal at most!”

“One piece? That’s only enough to send a beggar away . ”

Ling Jiu sneered . “Also, who’s the decision maker among you two?”

…

Wangwang immediately shut up .

“Ten pieces is too much!”

Bai Ya’s voice was cold . “Three at most!”

“Well, how about this . Seeing that this is our first-time cooperating, I won’t take any advantage of you . My final price is six pieces . I’ll do it if you agree, if you don’t, I’ll leave immediately . ” Ling Jiu said faintly .

“Why don’t you snatch them instead?”

Wangwang glared at Ling Jiu and he could not be bothered to look at her, and instead turned his gaze to Bai Ya .

Even when Bai Ya’s nature was cold and calm, she also could not help but to glare at Ling Jiu .

`If you are not taking advantage, why did you ask for six energy crystals then?

`That six energy crystals are worth 6 trillion bucks and 60 thousand contribution points, and this monster? Tens of billions at most when sold!

`You’re calling this not taking advantage?

`I’ve never seen such a shameless person before . `

After Bai Ya took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to smash someone’s face in, she gritted her teeth and said . “Deal!”

“Don’t show that face, as if you’ve been disadvantaged . ”

Ling Jiu shook his head and smiled as he looked at Wangwang . “Girl, what do you want me to do?”

“Just keep it suppressed!”

Wangwang gritted her teeth .

“Okay!”

Ling Jiu made an OK gesture then flew towards the Skyfire Bull Dragon .

“Be careful!” Seeing so Wangwang could not help but to remind him .

“Don’t worry!”

*ROAR!!!*

Seeing Ling Jiu was charging at it, the Skyfire Bull Dragon immediately bristled .

It immediately flew up, and like an old hen protecting its chicks, it firmly guarded the nest on the stone platform behind it as its three eyes stared at Ling Jiu .

“What are you looking at? I’m not after your egg, I’m after your body!” Ling Jiu snorted coldly and said . “Dimensional Shackle!”

*BUZZZZ—*

The space around the Skyfire Bull Dragon suddenly froze in place in an instant, and the Skyfire Bull Dragon too was shackled in place .

The Skyfire Bull Dragon struggled desperately, trying to break free out the Dimensional Shackle .

But what frightened it was that no matter how hard it struggled, it was futile .

“My Dimensional Shackle has been strengthened by ten-fold; you think you still can break free?”

Ling Jiu sneered . “Even if the Three-Headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon were to come, it’ll have to sit down obediently . ”
