Chapter 209: failed negotiation
The old horse knows the way, and the old wolf is similar.
Even if it is an old pervert who is dying and still obsessed with lust, it is the same.
For decades, White Fang had traveled the outskirts of Wolf's Den. Although it doesn't know how to survey the leylines, with the natural acuity of beasts, it can figure out almost all the leylines in a radius of hundreds of miles. Under its guidance, Panda and others came to a small forest located in the north of Langwo Lake, which is nearly thirty miles away from Langwo Lake.
The strongest leylines in this area are just below this forest.
"Are you sure?" Jian Shisan closed his eyes for a while and asked suspiciously, "Why can't I feel it at all?"
"Because there is a powerful elemental creature here, it blocks the aura of the leylines." After a few wolf howls, the old shaman translated.
"Elemental creatures?" Panda froze for a moment and asked, "Can we negotiate?"
"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Before White Fang could answer, Xingzhao spoke first, "I have a premonition that there will be a war."
"Fuck!" Jian Shisan hurriedly dragged her back. One of them is pure crispy skin, and the other is not very crispy, but it can't be said to have thick skin and thick meat, and neither of them are suitable for the front line.
In this kind of battle, it's better to let the panda top the front.
The panda was not nervous, but looked at the woods and asked, "Can you find the exact location of that elemental creature?"
"I can try." Saying that, Xingzhao took out the crystal ball and chanted a spell.
The transparent crystal ball slowly turned green, slowly rose into the air, and slowly circled around it. Every time it turned around, a circle of green light spread out towards the surroundings, and quickly dissipated into the surrounding air.
After a minute or two, she retracted the crystal ball and smiled.
"I found it, it is underground, coming towards us."
Panda's eyes shrank slightly, and without saying a word, he raised his fist and slammed the ground in front of him.
With this punch, the divine energy blasted into the ground, and then spewed out from the ground in front of it like a fountain, like a golden light curtain.
The power of this move is not great, it is mainly a warning, telling the elemental creature that is quietly approaching, it has been discovered, and don't plan to play stealth backstab any more - if Horus is here, he will definitely say "Cut. These days, the assassins have all changed their careers to the front, backstab and sneak... do you think you are a sun knight?" and so on.
Since the elemental creature can play backstab, it is naturally intelligent and can understand the meaning of panda. So after a while, the soil about twenty meters away in front of the light curtain surged, and a mud giant with only half of its body and about two meters high slowly grew out.
"You guys, come, what are you doing?" the clay giant asked in a slow and dry voice.
"We're here to find the leylines," Panda said. "We want to build a teleportation array on the leylines."
The clay giant immediately replied: "The leylines, yes, mine!"
"The leyline doesn't belong to anyone." Jian Shisan said, "You just discovered it earlier than us."
"Mine!" The clay giant emphasized.
"This matter should be negotiable." Panda said, "Our teleportation array just collects and uses the power emitted by the leylines, and will not damage the leylines. And we can't use up all the leylines power, and there will definitely be leftovers. A lot. If you are willing to cooperate, this part will be yours, how about it?”
The clay giant didn't answer immediately, and seemed to be thinking.
Ordinarily, this condition was considered acceptable. Although emotionally speaking, it was of course not as comfortable as enjoying the leylines alone, but in reality, this clay giant could not collect leylines power well—otherwise White Fang would not have discovered that leylines existed here. In contrast, the magic circles built by the traversers can collect the power of the leylines almost perfectly. After deducting the power required for transmission, the remaining power is also a lot, and it may not be less than the weight it gets now.
Seeing it seemed a little hesitant, Xingzhao said: "If you like to monopolize the leylines, I can help you unblock other leylines nearby and create a residence for you where the nine leylines converge."
What the long-distance teleportation array needs is a strong leyline, which combines several relatively weak leylines. Although it may be more powerful, it is complex and not refined and cannot support the teleportation array.
But elemental creatures don't have this concern. Anyway, whether it is pure or miscellaneous, it makes no difference to it. It's like eating alone, whether it's rice or wheat, potatoes or corn, it's all food. It's just that the nutrients are slightly different, and there is no essential difference. There is absolutely no reason to eat rice for health and longevity, and eat potatoes for short life.
The clay giant became more and more hesitant. It could naturally feel the strength of the few people in front of it, and knew that it had little chance of winning. But it is not willing to share this site with others. As for moving... Although in theory, the convergence of the nine leylines is the most suitable place for it, but it does not want to move.
After a long time, it finally spoke.
"No!" it said.
Panda sighed and persuaded: "Let's discuss and discuss. We can talk about what conditions you want."
"Humph! From my point of view..." Jian Shisan wanted to do it, but after seeing his sister's expression, he immediately changed his tune, "You better think about it, we are more capable than you think."
"Yes, you always want something." Xing Zhao also advised.
The clay giant was silent again.
At this moment, White Fang howled in a low voice, and the old shaman translated, "White Fang said that this fellow is not as simple as he looks, nor is he harmless."
"What's the meaning?"
"It is not the original owner of this leyline." Along with the old white wolf's howl, the old shaman slowly translated, "It was about ten years ago, when a group of other creatures lived in the woods, and the result was They were all killed by it."
"Natural selection and survival of the fittest are not unusual," Panda said. "We won't discriminate against it because of this."
The old white wolf let out a low laugh, a little bit of sarcasm.
"Today you are stronger than it and are willing to reason with it, but if it is stronger than you, it will never reason with you."
Jian Shisan's expression immediately became sinister and vicious. He looked at the clay giant and asked, "Is it right?"
The clay giant didn't answer.
Sword Thirteen's hand lit up, and a circle of blue light landed on everyone's feet, which spread out in an instant, covering a large area of the surrounding area, so everyone (including the clay giant and the wolf) emitted blue light.
"It doesn't matter if you don't answer, I just ask you, if we were not as strong as you today, would you not reason with us at all, but would choose to kill us directly?" he asked sternly.
The blue light flickered on the clay giant's body, and he didn't mean to answer.
"Then let me ask another question. If we are not as strong as you, you will still talk to us like this and persuade us to leave, right?"
The blue light on the clay giant turned into red light.
Jian Shisan sneered and drew his sword.
"Panda, this guy's attitude is very obvious. To be reasonable, you have to 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 a mere elemental creature! Before, I was willing to spend more time and give up some of the benefits, just because the other party is the "master" of this leyline, I want everyone to work together for a win-win situation, and I don't want to be a robber.
But now, the true face of the clay giant has been exposed, and he naturally has murderous intentions.
Among the three, only Xingzhao is still shaking his head: "Wait a minute, don't convict people with assumptions, and look at its attitude."
But her kindness was destined to be unrewarded, perhaps because she was angry with embarrassment, or because she was too lazy to disguise after being exposed, and the clay giant let out a fierce roar.
"Eat it! You!"
Saying so, it jumped up.
