Trading treasure for life?
This deal is worth it. After all, what can you do if you're dead?
Only by staying alive can one have a future.
"I'm willing," the mayor agreed without hesitation.
Time is running out; patrol officers will be coming soon.
If they delay any longer, they may find themselves in even bigger trouble.
The mayor understood that he could only save his life by giving everything to Ye Gubai.
As for whether Ye Gubai was lying to him, he dared not gamble.
If you've been lied to, you can only accept your fate; after all, if you can't beat someone, you can't beat them.
With only one way out in front of us, it would be unreasonable not to try.
"Then let's begin the trade," Ye Gubai said, extending a trade invitation.
This kind of face-to-face transaction is conducted through a brief, virtual connection.
Since other people cannot see the details of their transactions, their security is guaranteed.
Furthermore, both parties must agree to the transaction.
This method was also used when Ye Gubai and Zi Xinlan made their previous transaction.
Soon, the mayor had emptied his own coffers.
The treasures that his younger brother had given him earlier were also put into the trade window.
Looking at the overflowing transaction screen, Ye Gubai smiled and nodded.
"That's right, these things can save your life."
"But after the deal is done, I need you to put on a show."
"Let's have a quick fight, and then you can run away."
"You'd better escape the Heavenly Dragon Empire, or you'll be dead the next time we meet."
After Ye Gubai finished speaking, he agreed to the transaction.
Seeing this, the mayor on the other side also hurriedly nodded in agreement.
As for what Ye Gubai said, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
With their identities exposed, staying in the Tianlong Empire would be tantamount to waiting to die.
The only place we can go right now is a human rapist shelter in the wild.
"Come on!" the mayor shouted.
Ye Gubai wanted a feigned battle, and he understood the general intention behind it.
They definitely wanted to pin all the blame on him, but he couldn't.
Because he had no choice but to agree and obey Ye Gubai.
"Hmph, traitor, you deserve to die!"
Ye Gubai also shouted loudly, and at the same time unleashed a gust of wind and thunder towards the mayor.
However, during the attack, it deliberately deviated slightly, causing it to graz the mayor and strike the ground nearby.
It was only then that the mayor realized what was happening.
Seeing how swift Ye Gubai's attack was, he was even more glad that he hadn't fought back.
Otherwise, you won't even know how you died.
"Drink! Blood Escape!"
The mayor understood that this was Ye Gubai's way out for him.
Without further hesitation, he immediately used his escape skills.
He sacrificed 45% of his own health to unleash the Blood Escape Technique.
It transformed into a streak of blood-red light and fled swiftly toward the horizon.
Ye Gubai feigned pursuit, then immediately took Shang Ling'er and flew into the air, chasing after the mayor.
He deliberately slowed down during the chase, and after chasing for ten seconds, he stopped in mid-air and stopped pursuing.
"He escaped?!" Shang Ling'er asked incredulously.
She had just heard Ye Gubai's loud shout and realized that the mayor was actually a spy from the demon race.
This is an extraordinary matter. As the mayor of the Tianlong Empire, he has actually been turned by the demons.
Big news!
"Yeah, I can't catch up with him," Ye Gubai replied simply.
Can't catch up?
Of course he can catch up.
Even if we catch up with him, the most we can do is kill him, which isn't very meaningful.
It would be better to let them escape; they are bound to leave the Tianlong Empire soon.
If he escapes again, he will surely find a place where he can be protected.
This place is most likely not in another country, but somewhere in the wild.
What Ye Gubai wanted to do was to follow this lead to find the other party's lair.
When we have enough strength, we'll wipe them out in one fell swoop.
Let those people fully understand what price they will pay for provoking me.
"What a pity..." Shang Ling'er sighed.
Catching the traitor would be a great achievement.
However, discovering the other party's identity is still a commendable achievement.
"That doesn't matter, and I've already gotten our things back."
Ye Gubai smiled and told Shang Ling'er about the deal they had just made.
Including the scrolls that had been stolen earlier, he also obtained some items in a trade with the other party.
For example, his equipment, various materials, and a large amount of money.
Of all these things, the best is undoubtedly the scroll.
Ye Gubai hadn't expected the scroll to be this.
No wonder this person was so ruthless as to decisively kill his own underlings.
It seems he also wanted to hide the scroll, but he didn't expect that he would be recognized.
They even threatened him with his life, forcing him to hand over the treasure obediently.
As for the scroll, it has the following effect.
——
Dragon Devouring Secret Technique
Type: Skill Scroll
Quality: Myth
Quantity: 1
Effect: After use, you will gain the Dragon Devouring Secret Technique.
Description: A special ability born after the collapse of the Dragon Devouring Secret Technique Formation; it will be obtained by those who are destined to acquire it.
——
The value of this scroll alone surpasses that of everything else being traded.
This traitor must have just acquired it; if he delays any longer, he might use it for himself or as a tribute.
After all, few people in this world can resist the allure of mythology.
Presumably, the man who supplied the traitor also wanted to exchange this item for equal benefits.
