Killing God - Chapter 276

Chapter 276 Be Honest
After being stunned for a while, the beautiful bird suddenly roared as if it had woken up. It was so angry that even its feathers slightly curled up. It roared angrily at Shen Tai,

“Are you courting death, human? There are thousands of water ghosts in the swamp. Come and kill them. I want to see if you will die first or if the water ghosts will die first.”

Shen Tai’s expression had always been very calm. Even when he heard the thousands of terrifying water ghosts, his expression did not change. After coughing lightly, he said indifferently, “Don’t shout so loudly. You can’t scare me.” There were indeed a lot of water ghosts in this large swamp, but since ancient times, water ghosts had always been a small group of self-proclaimed tribes, and they had fought against each other even more than outsiders. “So, don’t say anything. I have to deal with tens of millions of water ghosts. As long as I kill half of the water ghosts of your subtribe first, do you believe that the other water ghosts will charge over and kill you all tomorrow?”

The feathers on the bird’s neck slowly calmed down, but there was a trace of fear in its eyes. “You, how did you know about this?”

Shen Tai smiled and said, “I heard it.” As he spoke, he did not explain why the Divine Immortal Society was able to find out about the situation of the Aquamancer Tribe, which had never interacted with humans, and even had no chance of communicating with them. He just looked at the bird and said, “What do you think? Why don’t you go back and talk to the leader of the Aquamancer Tribe about what I just said?”

Xiaoniao refused to give up. After being stunned, she sneered and said, “Even if you know a bit about the Water Ghost Tribe, so what? Your team is indeed very strong, but as long as we Water Ghosts are willing to hide, no one can do anything to us in this swamp.”

Shen Tai actually nodded and said, “Indeed.”

Xiaoniao was instantly a little proud. She sneered and said, “It’s good that I know. Then I won’t put away your …”

Before he could say anything else, “But as far as I know, although the water ghosts are naturally good at concealing themselves in the swamp and are extremely powerful and ferocious, here …” He pointed his hand at his forehead, and his eyes seemed to be looking at the bird with deep meaning. He smiled and said, “Their minds seem to be quite stupid.”

Xiaoniao let out a low cry. She opened her eyes wide and glared at him with anger. Her eyes were fierce.

However, Shen Tai ignored this bird that looked as fierce as a murderer. He only said, “In the past, human cultivators who came here to explore treasures, especially wandering cultivators, were always afraid of water ghosts. They thought that this was such a fierce monster, but if they really wanted to see it clearly, it would only be one thing.” “Well, if I set a trap here right now, well … to put it bluntly, I’ll dig a big pit, then send someone out to secretly hunt down one or two water ghosts, cut off their heads and throw them into this pit, guess what?”

The bird didn’t say anything, but its eyes gradually weakened.

Shen Tai gently waved his right hand and said, “Look, even a bird like you understands this. It’s such a simple trap. All the water ghosts in your tribe will be as stupid as pigs and jump into this pit one after another, even if there are knives, spears, arrows, and axes in this pit.”

Xiaoniao looked at him coldly. After a while, she said, “Why did you come to us?”

Although his tone was cold, However, his aura was much weaker than before. Shen Tai did not reveal any arrogant expression. He only looked at this strange and beautiful bird that could speak and said, “Because there are countless water ghost tribes in this vast swamp, but only you have a bird that can speak and communicate with each other.” As he spoke, he seemed to sigh with emotion. Shen Tai sighed softly and said,

“Who would have thought that, first of all, it was just an ordinary water bird raised by the Water Ghost Head. I wonder what kind of strange treasure immortal fruit he ate in this swamp. As a result, not only was he able to speak, but his intelligence was also activated. On the contrary, he was ten times smarter than his original Water Ghost Masters. If I hadn’t accidentally seen you at the edge of the swamp a few days ago, even I wouldn’t have thought of any way to communicate and negotiate with these water ghosts, so I would have had to bravely take great risks and send people to hunt and pick flowers in the swamp. ”

“Picking flowers?” The bird looked really smart and caught the word very keenly.

Shen Tai nodded and said, “Yes, I want the ‘Illusory Rainbow Flower’. It is the kind of flower that sometimes grows on the bodies of water ghosts. Sometimes it is blue, sometimes light purple, sometimes scarlet.”

“Those useless flowers, what do you want them for?” Xiaoniao was stunned.

Shen Tai smiled and said, “We humans sometimes use these fourth-grade flowers … Well, these flowers are useful anyway. Normally, we can’t communicate with water ghosts, so we can only kill them to get flowers. However, if you are willing to give these flowers to me, I can do a deal with you in exchange.”

The bird paced back and forth a few steps, He looked like he was thinking, His expression was very cautious. He seemed to agree with Shen Tai’s point of view. He felt that the Water Ghost Masters who raised him were truly too stupid, so he still had to rely on himself to save the fate of the entire Water Ghost Tribe. After a while, he said, “I can give you flowers, but we are useless anyway. But what do you want to exchange for them?”

“I’ll give you the water ghost’s favorite item, Blood Food.” Shen Tai said, “They are the most lively animals, cattle, sheep, horses, and so on. I guarantee that the water ghost likes them.” As long as your tribe gives me a hundred Illusory Rainbow Flowers every month from today onwards, I will have people send these blood foods over immediately. “Apart from that, I also promise you that I will send people to guard this swamp in the future. No other human cultivators will come to hunt you down.”

Xiaoniao was obviously tempted, but she immediately thought of something and asked seriously, “Then the Blood Food Exchange Illusion … What was the Illusion Flower? What was the price of this exchange?”

Shen Tai patted his chest and looked at the bird. He said seriously, “Don’t worry, I’m the most honest person in business. As long as the transaction starts, one cow on my side will only be exchanged for you two … two flowers will be fine!”

“I’ll let you take advantage of me.” Finally, the fat man who was sitting in the carriage added, looking up at the sky (roof of the carriage) with an expression that seemed to be filled with emotion.

Liuyun City, Southern Precious Square Divine Immortal Gathering.

As Shen Shi walked downstairs, His expression was somewhat solemn. His brows furrowed slightly. While Gu Lingyun was upstairs talking, He asked him to go to the book sea in the High Firmament Sect’s hall to consult some ancient books of the demon race, This matter was nothing in itself. As far as Shen Shi knew, those ancient books and scrolls were indeed placed there openly. As long as it was a disciple of the Soaring Firmament Sect, anyone could enter and read them. However, very few people would be interested in such an old book. Therefore, no one had been interested in them all this time.

However, the name that Gu Lingyun said he was looking for was truly shocking to Shen Shi. Huang Ming, this mysterious figure who had been hated by the demons for 10,000 years and ranked second among the “Seven Great Thieves”, had strangely disappeared from the history of the human race, actually came out of Gu Lingyun’s mouth.

But in the end, Although he tried to ask, However, Gu Lingyun did not reveal any more information related to this name. He only asked him to carefully search the ancient books of the demon race in the sea of books. Even Gu Lingyun did not say that he wanted Shen Shi to find any specific person involved. He only said that as long as it was any ancient book of the demon race that mentioned this name, Shen Shi would have to secretly memorize the relevant words and tell her to listen to it. She would also repay Shen Shi.

One of these so-called rewards was the White God Pearl that had already been placed in Shen Shi’s Ruyi bag. This pearl was refined by a unique secret technique of the Divine Immortal Association. It was engraved with a profound array. It was used to record the number of spirit crystals deposited in the Divine Immortal Association by guests with status. As long as they were in a branch store of the Divine Immortal Association, they could use it at will. It was also a symbol of status and enjoyed some special convenience. According to Gu Lingyun, if Shen Shi made a fortune in the future, and his status in the Divine Immortal Gathering increased, he would be able to buy some rare treasures in the Divine Immortal Gathering, and even have a discount on the price.

Not to mention anything else, the Divine Immortal Society would hold an auction in a private place in Floating Cloud City in a month’s time. Only cultivators with White Divine Pearls or above would be able to participate. Naturally, everything they could see at that time would be good. Shen Shi wasn’t too unfamiliar with this method. He had seen his father secretly organize a few similar activities back in Xilu City. However, compared to now, there was clearly a mature and effective method for the Divine Immortal Association. The difference between the two was like the heavens. It was indeed worthy of being the name of the Primordial Chaos Chamber of Commerce.

With this thought in his heart, Shen Shi subconsciously reached out and touched the Ruyi bag on his waist. There were three hundred more spirit crystals inside, and the remaining amount was directly recorded in the White God Pearl. The Divine Immortal Association was famous, and its business reputation would not fall for ten thousand years. This credibility had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even Shen Shi himself had no doubt about it.

But … when he walked down the stairs to the last floor, When he returned to the bustling shop on the first floor, Shen Shi suddenly thought of another thing. Since he would record the spirit crystal on the White God Pearl, he was afraid that most of the spirit materials he would buy and sell in the future would definitely come to the Divine Immortal Gathering. Without making a sound, the Divine Immortal Gathering had tied up all the guests, especially the wealthy and luxurious ones, to him.

This method, this scheming, is truly terrifying. I really don’t know how powerful the person who founded the Divine Immortal Society was back then, to actually be able to accomplish such a situation as it is today!

He was very thoughtful, While sighing with admiration at the extraordinary methods of the Divine Immortal Association, he also remembered and pondered Gu Lingyun’s request just now, so he did not pay attention to his surroundings. He slowly walked towards the entrance of this branch of the Divine Immortal Association. As he walked, he suddenly felt his shoulders sink. Someone patted him behind him, and then he heard someone shouting angrily,

“Hey, what’s wrong with you?”
