Chapter Forty-Eight: Failed Negotiations
The old horse knows the way, and the old wolf is similar.
Even if it's an old pervert who is dying old and still can't forget his lust, it's the same.
For decades, White Fang has traveled the periphery of Wolf's Den Lake. Although it can't survey the leylines, with the natural acuity of beasts, it can almost understand the leylines within a radius of hundreds of miles. Under its guidance, Panda and the others came to a small forest located north of Wolf's Den Lake, nearly thirty miles away from Wolf's Den Lake.
The strongest leyline in this area is just below this wood.
"Are you sure?" Jian Thirteen closed his eyes for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Why can't I feel it at all?"
"Because there is an elemental creature here that is not weak, and it obscures the breath of the leylines. After a few wolf howls, the old shaman said.
"Elemental creatures?" the panda was stunned for a moment and asked, "Can you negotiate?"
"I'm afraid it's hard. Without waiting for White Fang to answer, Xingzhao spoke first, "I have a hunch that there will be a big battle inside. ”
"Damn!" Sword Thirteen hurriedly dragged her back. One of the two of them is pure crispy, and although the other is not very crispy, it is not as thick as the skin, and neither of them is suitable for the front line.
This kind of battle, just let the panda top the front.
The panda was not nervous, but looked at the woods and asked, "Can you find the specific location of that elemental creature?"
"I can try. With that, Xingzhao took out the crystal ball and recited the incantation.
The transparent crystal ball slowly turned green and slowly rose into the air, slowly circling around it. With each turn, a circle of green light spreads out towards the surroundings, quickly dissipating into the surrounding air.
After a minute or two, she withdrew the crystal ball and smiled.
"Found it, it's underground, coming towards us. ”
The panda's eyes shrank slightly, and without saying a word, he raised his fist and slammed it on the ground in front of him.
With this punch, the divine energy blasted into the ground, and then erupted from the ground in front of it like a fountain, like a golden curtain of light.
This trick is not very powerful, it is mainly a warning, telling the approaching elemental creature that it has been discovered, and don't plan to play stealth backstabbing anymore - if Horus is here, he will definitely say "Cut!" Assassins have changed to just front this year, backstabbing stealth...... Do you think you're a knight of the sun?" and so on.
Since the elemental creature can play backstabbing, it naturally has a certain amount of wisdom and can understand the meaning of the panda. So a moment later, the dirt surging in front of the light curtain about twenty meters away, and a half-cut body, about two meters tall, slowly grew out.
"What are you doing?" asked the clay giant in a slow, dry voice.
"We're here to find the leylines. Panda said, "We want to build a teleportation array on the leylines. ”
The earth giant immediately replied, "Leylines, yes, mine!"
"Leylines are not anyone's. Sword Thirteen said, "You just discovered it before we did. ”
"My!" the dirt giant emphasized.
"This matter should be negotiable. Panda said, "Our teleportation array only collects and uses the power emitted by the leylines, and will not damage the leylines. And we can't use up all the leyline power, there will definitely be a lot left. If you're willing to cooperate, you'll be up to you for all that you don't need?"
The clay giant didn't answer immediately, as if thinking.
Supposedly, this condition is okay, although emotionally speaking, of course, it is not as comfortable as enjoying the leyline alone, but in fact, this dirt giant can't collect the leyline power very well - otherwise it would be impossible for White Fang to find out that the leyline exists here. In contrast, the magic array created by the traversers can collect the leyline power almost perfectly, and after deducting the teleportation needs, there is a lot of power left, which may not be less than the amount it has obtained now.
Seeing that it seemed a little hesitant, Xingzhao said, "If you like to occupy the leylines alone, I can help you channel other leylines nearby and create a dwelling place for you where the nine leylines converge." ”
What the long-distance teleportation array needs is a powerful leyline, which combines several relatively weak leylines, although it may still be too strong in strength, but it is mixed but not refined, and cannot support the teleportation array.
But elemental creatures don't have that concern, and it doesn't make any difference to them anyway. It's like eating a person, whether it's rice or wheat, potatoes or corn, it's food. It's just that the nutrients are slightly different, and there is not too much essential difference, and there is absolutely no reason for eating rice to live a long and healthy life, and eating potatoes will be short-lived.
The clay giant hesitated more and more, it could naturally feel the strength of the few people in front of it, and knew that it had little chance of winning in a fight. But it is not willing to share the land with others, as for moving...... Although theoretically, the confluence of nine leylines is the most suitable place for it to live, but it just doesn't want to move.
After a long time, it finally spoke.
"No!" it said.
The panda sighed and persuaded, "Let's discuss it again, we can talk about what conditions you want." ”
"Hmph, in my opinion......" Jian Thirteen wanted to make a move, but after looking at his sister's expression, he immediately changed his words, "You better think about it again, we are more capable than you think." ”
"yes, you always have something to want. Xingzhao also persuaded.
The Dirt Giant was silent again.
At this time, White Fang howled a few times, and the old shaman translated: "White Fang said that this guy is not as simple as it seems, and he is not harmless. ”
"What do you mean?"
"It is not the original owner of this leyline. With the howl of the old white wolf, the old shaman slowly translated, "It was about ten years ago, when a group of other creatures lived in this wood, and it killed them. ”
"Natural selection, survival of the fittest, is not unusual. "We don't discriminate against it." ”
The old white wolf let out a low laugh, a slight hint of sarcasm.
"Today you are stronger than it, and you are willing to reason with it, but if it is stronger than you, it will never reason with you. ”
Sword Thirteen's expression immediately became sinister and vicious, and he looked at the earth giant and asked, "Is it right?"
The Earth Giant didn't answer.
Sword Thirteen's hand lit up, and a circle of blue light fell under everyone's feet, spreading in an instant, covering a large area around them, so everyone (including the earth giant and the wolf) emitted blue light.
"It's okay if you don't answer, I just ask you, if we weren't as strong as you today, wouldn't you be able to reason with us at all, but would have chosen to kill us directly?" he asked sternly.
The blue light on the dirt giant's body flashed, and there was no intention of answering.
"Then let me put it another way, if we weren't as strong as you, you would still have a good reason with us like this and persuade us to leave, right?"
The blue light on the dirt giant's body turned red.
Sword Thirteen sneered and drew his sword.
"Panda, this guy's attitude is obvious. If you are reasonable, you must also talk to those who are willing to be reasonable!"
The panda's face also became gloomy and fierce, he even killed the water dragon, how could he be afraid of just an elemental creature! Before, he was willing to go to the trouble of talking and giving up part of his interests, just because the other party was the "master" of this leyline, and he wanted everyone to work together for a win-win situation, and he was not willing to be a bandit.
But now, the true face of the clay giant has been exposed, and he naturally has also moved to kill.
Among the three, only Xingzhao was still shaking his head: "Wait, don't condemn people with assumptions, let's look at its attitude." ”
But her kindness was destined to be unreciprocated, perhaps out of annoyance, or because she was too lazy to disguise herself after being exposed, and the earth giant let out a fierce roar.
"Eat it!"
As he spoke, it pounced.
