"What are you laughing at?!"
As soon as Xiang Liu finished speaking, he saw the strange expressions on Fang Si and the others, which made it involuntarily tremble.
"Nothing."
Fang Si shrugged his shoulders and said calmly,
"We aren't laughing."
However, despite his words, a strange smile still flickered in the depths of everyone's eyes.
From the moment Xiang Liu retreated, dozens of plans had already formed in everyone's minds...
Now that Xiao Xing had conveyed the information to the others,
As long as the group from Snow Country was transferred away during the transaction, the fierce beasts would naturally lose their leverage.
The Beast Emperors would never dream that tens of thousands of beast tamers in sick uniforms were currently on the continent...
In fact, many of them had already been detected by the fierce beasts,
However, firstly, most fierce beasts couldn't directly send messages to the legendary Beast Emperors,
Secondly, there was no need. Humans were rare, but not so rare that they couldn't be seen. Someone would always leave the gathering point to search for food...
"I don't need to elaborate on the value of the Thunder Bird, do I?"
Fang Si said calmly, "Ten trillion trillion in lightning elemental resources are not enough to cultivate it!"
Xiang Liu nodded in agreement. Such an outrageous creature indeed could not be created with resources alone.
"It's too much. It's not that we won't give it, but the continent truly cannot gather so many lightning elemental resources..."
"Then we'll compromise!"
Fang Si said calmly, "Ten trillion trillion in resources, with three trillion trillion being lightning elemental resources!"
"Still too much..."
Xiang Liu still shook his head and said, "I can't make the decision!"
"Then what are you here talking about?!"
A Liang pouted, "Let's leave! Isn't this a waste of time?"
"Wait a moment!"
Xiang Liu became a little anxious and said, "It's not that there's no way. I need to discuss it with the other Beast Emperors!"
"We'll give you time!"
Fang Si estimated and said, "Three days. You must give us an answer!"
"Okay!"
Xiang Liu nodded. The Beast Emperors were all gathered in the northern part of the continent, so they could assemble quickly.
"How can I contact you?"
"We will contact you actively. You will see!"
Fang Si smiled slightly and turned away with the others.
Xiang Liu remained alone, its nine serpent heads swaying continuously, as if in deep thought...
It didn't doubt anything. In its view, everything had a price, it just depended on whether it could be paid.
After all, Chen Shu's life was once exchanged for the lives of other humans,
And the Thunder Bird before them was much simpler, only requiring resources.
Of course, it was also possible that they actually cared about the lives of those people but deliberately pretended not to...
Xiang Liu didn't ponder for long before roaring towards the sky, preparing to gather all the Beast Emperors for a discussion.
...
"Everyone, state your thoughts."
At this moment, the Southern Jiang Bandit Group gathered together and began to discuss.
For a time, everyone presented their own plans, their eyes occasionally flashing with the light of bandits...
Although the content differed, the desired outcome was surprisingly consistent:
The Thunder Bird could not be given, the people must be saved, and the resources must be obtained!
From the very beginning, the Southern Jiang Bandit Group never intended to conduct this transaction honestly...
Meanwhile, the Beast Emperors also convened.
"What do you think?"
Xiang Liu relayed the humans' demands and asked for the opinions of the other Beast Emperors.
"Absolutely not!"
"A bunch of ants, daring to demand such an exorbitant price!"
"I also disagree! Ten trillion trillion in resources, how is that possible?!"
In an instant, the Beast Emperors exploded, filled with fury.
"Jiu You, what do you think?"
Xiang Liu ignored the voices of the Beast Emperors and looked towards the Nine Nether Giant Python.
With the Dragon Emperor absent, it and Jiu You jointly managed the fierce beast race. Although Jiu You was a Beast Emperor of the new era, its mind was slightly sharper than its own...
"Something is wrong..."
The Nine Nether Giant Python's eyes were sinister, and it said, "First, why aren't they concerned about the lives of those people, but about resources? This is not like human behavior!"
Xiang Liu slowly said, "Everyone has their own personality."
"Second, that Thunder Bird is no ordinary creature. Would you easily sell such a creature?"
Jiu You posed another question.
"Now that the Heavenly Chains are broken, humans lack resources. A hundred billion would be enough for them to cultivate many legends."
Xiang Liu pondered and slowly explained:
"Exchanging one contracted spirit for so many legendary beings, humans wouldn't be at a disadvantage, right?"
Human talent was powerful, and with the disappearance of the chains, the only thing they lacked was resources!
"This... is also possible..."
For a moment, Jiu You also couldn't quite figure out the humans' thoughts.
"Actually, I also feel something is not quite right..."
Xiang Liu mused, "Their expressions at the time were too strange... I always feel like I've been tricked..."
"Are we still going through with this transaction?"
"Yes!"
Jiu You's gaze was sinister, "That bird is too troublesome. If we don't find an opportunity to kill it, it will eventually become like that rabbit!"
"Are we really going to give ten trillion trillion in resources?!"
"Of course not!"
Jiu You shook its head and said, "Besides, where do we have so many resources?"
"Then what's your suggestion?"
"Let's take out a portion from the resource treasury first."
"Will they agree?"
"We'll talk again in three days..."
Jiu You said slowly, "If it fails, we won't lose much. We can consider it an attempt."
"Alright!"
Xiang Liu agreed.
A moment later, Jiu You seemed to have thought of something and added:
"First, send two high-level legends to guard that human gathering point! If there's any unusual activity, destroy the entire outpost immediately!"
"Didn't you say you weren't worried about them being transferred?"
"Just in case!"
It had to be said that after being tricked by Chen Shu numerous times, they had gained experience...
...
Three days later,
The Beast Emperors gathered in the northern part of the continent once again, awaiting active contact from the humans...
"Will those humans still come?"
"Will we be waiting in vain?"
The Beast Emperors discussed amongst themselves, feeling a bit impatient.
Jiu You also felt a stir. Could it be that the other party had no intention of making a deal?
Had the plan failed?
And at this moment, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared in the distant sky, emanating terrifying energy...
"Hmm?!"
Upon seeing this, the Beast Emperors were shocked and instantly recalled unpleasant memories.
Had that monster... returned?!
