Chapter 48 Negotiations
"Then why didn't you kill him?"
Gu Chen couldn't figure it out, since he could easily kill it, why not kill it?
"It's not that simple. Liu Qiniang said, "Although I can kill him easily, but I also need time, and that bald head will not leave the vicinity of the lava valley, if I stay a little longer, the fire snake will come out, and when the time comes, I will die." ”
Nodding understandingly, Gu Chen said, "What realm is that fire snake?"
"The high-level Transformation Realm, although there is only a realm gap with me, but the fire snake race is naturally strong, so I don't have any chance of winning against him. ”
Hearing this, Gu Chen's face sank, if this was the case, he would not be able to use the lava valley to transform back into a human form.
Seeing that Gu Chen was silent, Liu Qiniang thought that he had been hit, and comforted, "Don't worry, anyway, we have time, and we will definitely have a chance if we spend it with him slowly." ”
Slowly depleted?
Gu Chen smiled bitterly, where did he have time?
After a moment of silence, Gu Chen said, "Miss Liu, do you know that there is any place where the flames are concentrated in this vicinity besides the lava valley?"
Not knowing why Gu Chen had such a question, Liu Qiniang pondered for a moment and said, "In addition to the lava valley, there is indeed a place near here that has a ground fire, but that place is occupied by a fire ape, and it has a very short temper. ”
"How's the strength?"
"Like me, it's also a mid-level Transformation Realm, but it's a lot more powerful than me, even if the two of us join forces, we won't be his opponents. ”
"Why do you have to fight?" Gu Chen's thick paws rubbed his chin and said, "Can't we make peace with him?"
"Peace talks?" It seems that she has never had this kind of thought, Liu Qiniang frowned her forehead and said, "Why do you want to make peace talks, we have no dealings with him in the first place, he doesn't offend me, I don't offend him, what is the peace talks?"
"I need to cultivate with the help of a place where there is earth fire. Gu Chen was silent for a moment, and finally spoke, "My cultivation is very special, if there is no earth fire, I will not be able to restore the appearance of a human being." ”
Is there such a thing?
Liu Qiniang looked at Gu Chen with a shocked expression, she couldn't believe it, because she was also a half-demon, and a half-demon could become a human at any time, it was a natural instinct, how could it have anything to do with cultivation?
However, when she thought that in Gu Chen's half-demon bloodline, it was the Heavenly Seal Demon Tiger that had been extinct for 10,000 years, Liu Qiniang was also relieved, the powerful race 10,000 years ago, who knew what was so special?
"Turns out you just need the fire. After being surprised, Liu Qiniang's tone was a little low.
Gu Chen knew that the reason why Liu Qiniang appeared in Lava Valley to save herself was not because of anything else, but because there was a hatred between her and the fire snake, she mistakenly thought that she was here for Feng Yu, and thought that the two could become an alliance against the fire snake, but she didn't expect that he was actually just for the earth fire.
Looking at Liu Qiniang quietly, Gu Chen said, "It used to be earth fire, but now, it's different. ”
"How is it different?"
"The people of the fire snake almost killed me, this revenge, I must avenge it, that kind of humiliation in the bones, can you understand?"
Looking at Gu Chen's eyes that didn't look like he was lying, Liu Qiniang's face finally had a smile, she smiled and said, "Although your plan is good, but I still don't realize that the fire ape will let you use the earth fire without using the blade, why don't we cultivate for a while first, and then take its territory over?"
"There's no need to go through the hassle. Gu Chen shook his hand, "We have no hatred with the fire ape, besides, I just use a little earth fire, if it is to snatch the territory, it will be troublesome, if it is possible, it is better to negotiate peace." ”
"That's true, but how to make peace?"
Gu Chen pondered for a while, as if he had thought of something, "Miss Liu, what kind of hatred do you have between you and the Fire Snake?"
I didn't expect Gu Chen to ask this question, Liu Qiniang's face sank, and she said in a cold voice, "No, three years ago, it ate my sister and swallowed her alive in front of me...... ”
Looking at Liu Qiniang's sad eyes when she spoke, as well as the fists that turned white from overexertion, he understood.
No wonder Liu Qi Niang's strength is not good, but she has always wanted to fight against the fire snake in her heart, it turned out that her sister was swallowed by the fire snake, this hatred, just like the ancient family was destroyed, has been engraved in her heart, if she does not report it, she will definitely become a heart demon, and once she becomes a heart demon that cannot be broken, she will definitely die on the road of cultivation.
I see.
Nodding understandingly, Gu Chen said, "That's enough, we'll go to the fire ape now, I'm now seventy percent sure that I can make an agreement with him." ”
I don't know where Gu Chen came from with such a big certainty, but seeing his confident appearance, Liu Qiniang still chose to believe him and took him to find the fire ape.
The fire ape is on a small volcano two hundred miles away from the canyon, which is still within the scope of the border city, but it is not marked on the map, because this small volcano is too small, about the same as a small mound.
Gu Chen and the two rushed all the way, and before they got close, they saw a huge cave on the top of the bare mountain, no need to guess, it must be the cave of the fire ape.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Gu Chen looked up for a while, and just when he wanted to climb up, suddenly, a roaring trembling sound came from the ground, Liu Qiniang was startled, and said, "Run!"
Like two sharp arrows, Gu Chen and Liu Qi Niang rushed in two different directions.
"Boom!", the earth trembled, and Gu Chen only felt a strong qi sweeping in all directions, and even his transformed body was a little unstable on his feet.
When the smoke and dust cleared, Gu Chen saw that where he and Liu Qiniang were just now, a red-haired giant ape with a height of more than ten zhang appeared.
The giant ape landed on all fours, just one arm, it was thicker than Gu Chen's whole person now, and his eyes were glowing with a faint red light, giving people a feeling of killing, even though Gu Chen's tiger was fearless, but after seeing the fire ape, the corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously.
What a powerful breath!
I don't know how much stronger than the aura on Liu Qi Niang's body, it seems that Liu Qi Niang is right, the two of them are not the opponent of this fire ape when they join forces.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the fire ape roared violently in the sky, and the sound waves were like substance, instantly sweeping in all directions, and spreading hundreds of miles away.
Gu Chen shook his head vigorously, his head was stunned by the fire ape's throat, and his strength was indeed too different.
After roaring, the fire ape's eyes swept across, completely ignoring Gu Chen, and stopped directly on Liu Qiniang's body; "Little fox, we don't interfere with river water with a piece of well water, today you two little half-demons came to my territory, do you want to provoke me, with your little strength, I can smash you with one punch!"
"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Liu Qiniang stepped forward, she was just about to speak, but was quickly stopped by Gu Chen, "We're not here to fight." ”
Leaning over and saying a word in Liu Qiniang's ear, Gu Chen walked in front of the fire ape in two steps, originally Gu Chen's body was already very burly after turning into a demon, but in front of the fire ape, he was like a child.
Although there is a lot of difference in the strength of the two, Gu Chen's momentum on his body has not weakened in the slightest in the face of the fire ape; "We are not here to provoke, but to make a deal with you." ”
The fire ape lowered his head violently, looked at Gu Chen for a while, and said, "What kind of demon bloodline are you, why have I never seen such a strange demon beast as you?"
"We're here to make a deal with you!" Gu Chen reiterated.
"Deal?" the fire ape straightened up again, and said, "You two half-demons don't look at what you are, and you deserve to make a deal with me?" Get out of the way, or I'll smash you into a pulp with one punch." ”
With that, the fire ape twisted its massive body and walked up the mountain.
Seeing this scene, Gu Chen took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart, he said secretly, "It seems that the rumors are true, the strength between demon cultivators is more respected than that between humans, and the strength is not good, so I don't even look at you."
Watching the fire ape get farther and farther away, Gu Chen suddenly roared, "Don't you want Feng Yu?"
The word phoenix feather is like a big nail falling from the sky, directly nailing the fire ape to the ground.
After a while, the fire ape slowly turned around, its eyes staring at Gu Chendao, "What did you just say?"
"Feng Yu!" Gu Chen said, "Do you want to get Feng Yu?"
"Nonsense!" the fire ape said with a hideous face, "I am the fire ape, what does the phoenix feather mean to me, you should also know, do you think I want to get it?"
"If you want to, then cooperate with us!" Gu Chen said, "If you don't cooperate, you will always just want to get it, but you can't get it." ”
The fire ape was silent for a while, and said, "How can you cooperate, don't tell me, the three of us can deal with the fire snake?"
"Why not?" Gu Chen asked rhetorically.
"You!" a flash of anger flashed in the fire ape's eyes, and said, "Boy, I'll give you one last chance, get out of here, otherwise, I will definitely pinch you to death!"
"You're scared!" Gu Chen not only didn't leave, but took a step forward.
"Afraid of you?" a fierce light flashed in the fire ape's eyes.
"You're afraid of death!" Gu Chen roared, "I just ask you, why can't the three of us? You don't even dare to try and you're timid, just like you, how can you fight the fire snake?"
"You ....... The fire ape gasped, and white smoke erupted from his nose.
"I'll ask you one last time, do you dare?" Gu Chen continued to ask, "If you dare, let's prepare well, and then fight again, if you don't dare, then we will leave now, and Feng Yu, you will never think about it!"
"What don't you dare!" the fire ape slammed his fists into the ground and roared, "You two half-demons are not afraid of death, how can I be afraid?"
"Okay, it's enough to have your words!" Gu Chen said, "In that case, I'll stay here as a hostage and let Liu Qiniang go back to investigate the situation." ”
After saying this, Gu Chen ignored whether the fire ape agreed or not, and went directly up the mountain.
Liu Qiniang understood what Gu Chen meant, and said, "Fire Ape, staying with you is enough to show my sincerity, I am bound to settle the account with the fire snake this time for my sister to be eaten, and I will come to discuss the plan with you after a while, don't bully my people." ”
Seeing that Liu Qiniang and a woman could have such courage, the fire ape naturally refused to lose face, and said, "Don't worry, my fire ape is a person who says the same, even if you don't leave hostages, our deal is settled, the life of the fire snake, yours, and Feng Yu, mine." ”
After saying this, the fire ape roared up the mountain, and Liu Qiniang left ......here after stopping for a while.
