Yu Tu raised his head and said with great interest, "Don't you like trading? What are you going to use to exchange for these two answers from me!"
"We're partners, why would we need to negotiate? We came to the Tomb of the Lord of War at the invitation of your Northern City Alliance, so you should share intelligence with us now!" Jiang Yuan said righteously.
"That's the relationship between the Northern City Alliance and the oath, not between you, Jiang Yuan, and me, An Xiaoyu!" Yu Tu's gaze was intense, filled with an aura of not giving an inch.
"Alright, then tell me your conditions!" Jiang Yuan wanted to see what she was up to.
"If I succeed, I want to protect half of the tomb's spiritual vein!" Yu Tu said casually.
"Are you crazy?" Jiang Yuan was amused by Yu Tu. "You can't ask for the moon like this. It's just providing information. At worst, I'll go to Tianlong and the others. They'll still give me the location of the super mine!"
"Heh, do you think everyone is as greedy and covetous as you about the protective spirit vein? We came here only to obtain the ancient inheritance and battlefield secrets. We never intended to obtain this super mineral vein protecting the tomb. So, since Tianlong and the others have already entered the circular corridor, there's no way they could possibly make a move on the protective spirit vein!"
Yu Tu remained completely unfazed and continued, "Besides, do you really think that a tomb-protecting spiritual vein that was once close to being a god is so easy to obtain? I want half of the spiritual vein because I have already factored in all the potential risks. After all, there's a 99% chance that I'll be going down this path with you and end up with nothing!"
"Well, you're ruthless too, aren't you? You've already said half of it!" Although Jiang Yuan admired Yu Tu's ruthlessness, he didn't want to back down when his own interests were involved.
"Then you have another option. Regardless of whether you can obtain the protective spirit vein, you must pay a reward of one million ninth-tier holy spirit stones!" Yu Tu then offered another option.
"Tsk tsk, don't you think it's a bad idea to negotiate such terms with a lecherous and greedy thug?" Jiang Yuan's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
"If you think you can scare me into lowering the price, then go ahead and try to scare me. See if I fall for it!" Yu Tu showed no fear whatsoever, simply looking calmly at Jiang Yuan.
"Aren't you afraid I'll first imprison you and then kill you, and then read your memories?" Jiang Yuan revealed a wicked smile.
"you!"
Yu Tu raised his hand, feeling both ashamed and angry, and wanted to hit someone again.
But Jiang Yuan moved faster than a rabbit, grabbing her arm in one swift motion. He then held her wrist with one hand and gripped her waist with the other, forcing her back until she had nowhere to retreat before chuckling wickedly, "Are you used to hitting me? Or do you think I'm really gentle with women?"
"Let me go!" Yu Tu tried to struggle free, but her strength was far less than Jiang Yuan's. The struggle only made the atmosphere more tense.
"Then you'd better watch your temper!" Jiang Yuan leaned forward, took a deep sniff of Yu Tu's neck, and said with lingering affection, "Otherwise, next time we'll have to change to a lying position!"
"Scumbag!"
As Jiang Yuan released his grip, Yu Tu hurriedly fled, spitting out a curse as he did so.
“Alright, I can pay one million ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones in cash, but there’s one more condition!” Jiang Yuan straightened his posture and nodded.
"you say!"
"Besides protecting the tomb's spiritual veins, I also want to enter the circular corridor!"
...
"The protective spiritual vein of the tomb stretches for thirty-three kilometers, connecting head to tail and completely enclosing the main tomb of the warlord in the middle. It is the most solid natural barrier in the entire inner hall!"
"According to the information we've analyzed, a total of thirty-three dragon bone nails were buried in the entire spiritual vein. The purpose of this was to make the entire protective spiritual vein and the main tomb of the warlord completely integrated and inseparable for eternity. Therefore, the primary task to make the protective spiritual vein appear is to remove these thirty-three dragon bone nails!"
After Yu Tu finished speaking, he waited for Jiang Yuan to raise his questions.
Sure enough, Jiang Yuan immediately asked, "What is a dragon bone nail?"
"Similar to coffin nails used to seal a coffin!" Yu Tu had clearly done his homework and answered Jiang Yuan's question with ease.
"So you're saying the guardian spirit vein is alive? Can you be sure about that?" Jiang Yuan came here for this reason. He didn't know the specific definition of a super vein, but it was definitely over a million in size. If it wasn't a living spirit vein, it would be difficult for him to take it away intact.
"Confirmed!" Yu Tu nodded.
"If it's fake, you have to compensate me for the person!" Jiang Yuan muttered.
Yu Tu heard this but didn't say anything. He just continued, "I don't know much about dragon bone nails, but one thing is certain: these dragon bone nails are protected by some kind of entity!"
"So I suggest you just go into the circular corridor and dig up some Holy Spirit Stones, lest you become greedy and overeat, not only bursting your own stomach but also causing your girlfriend to live a life of widowhood!"
Yu Tu has a sharp tongue and shows no mercy.
"You don't have to go, but give me back my one million ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones!" Jiang Yuan had his own selfish reasons for giving her the one million. He had discovered yesterday that Yu Tu was deliberately suppressing her Heavenly Charm Body in order to cultivate with her own power as the main method. Although this approach was indeed stronger than cultivating the Heavenly Charm Body alone, the difficulty of cultivation and the resources required were many times greater. This one million was his blessing for her.
"I won't pay it back! I've already said I'm taking the reward no matter what!" Yu Tu quickly backed away, her hands behind her back. Jiang Yuan had a criminal record, and although she said she wasn't afraid, she was still a little worried that Jiang Yuan might do something to her.
"Then lead the way quickly!" Since Jiang Yuan had chosen to be a bully, he was determined to see it through to the end.
Yu Tu silently led the way. The keel nails were not far apart, about one kilometer apart, and could be said to be just a few steps away.
"See that pillar with black patterns up ahead? That's the Dragon Bone Nail!" Yu Tu said calmly, pointing to a spot.
Jiang Yuan nodded and tentatively asked, "Just pull that out, right?"
"That's how it should be in theory, but I don't know what might happen!" Yu Tu could only give a general idea.
"Why don't you give it a try and see!"
Jiang Yuan walked towards the black pillar. As he got closer, the patterns on the pillar became clearer, and a terrifying sense of oppression followed.
"Jiang Yuan, act within your means!" Yu Tu couldn't help but remind him.
Jiang Yuan remained unmoved. He always felt that the aura emanating from the dragon bone nail was strange, as if it was stirring up several powers within his body.
He was familiar with these powers, as he had obtained them all within the Tomb of the Warlord. From the initial Flame of Life to the Dark Blood Elf, and finally the Earth's Sigh that he was forcibly absorbed, these three powers began to stir under the pressure of the Dragon Bone Nail.
"Could this be targeting me too?"
Jiang Yuan felt a little uneasy, but then he thought that this was the Lord of War's own tomb. How could he use the protective spiritual vein of his own tomb to cheat people? Wouldn't that just make trouble for himself?
Moreover, who would have thought that Jiang Yuan would even target the spirit vein protecting the tomb?
