Volume 1_Chapter 271: Sky-high Price



In this silent battle, the white tiger finally compromised. It looked at Zhang Mu and said, "I can only take a portion of the essence of Rumu's origin as a condition for me and my herd to evacuate."

A portion of the essence crystallization?

Zhang Mu first threw this difficult question to the Blood Vine Lotus, asking it how important its essence crystal was. If it was not very important, it would be better to send the white tiger away first and settle the score with it later.

But when Zhang Muyi told the Blood Vine Lotus about this idea, the Blood Vine Lotus' simple intelligence actually resisted with all its might. It rejected Zhang Mu, unwilling to hand over its essence crystal, and took back all the vines growing outside into its body, determined not to compromise with Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu tried to ask the Bloodvine Lotus in a gentle tone, "What exactly is this essence crystal? Let me take a look."

His mental power slowly connected with the body of the Blood Vine Lotus, passed through his left arm, and gradually penetrated into it. Ignoring the Blood Vine Lotus vines that tightly wrapped him on the outside, he looked in the direction of the lotus seeds.

The Blood Vine Lotus sensed the intrusion of Zhang Mu's spiritual power and did not block it. It was only when Zhang Mu urged it that it reluctantly opened its body.

Next to the original position of the blood vine lotus seed, there are two slightly smaller lotus seeds, quietly guarding the main lotus seed, just like its children.

"Are these what you have cultivated with your blood and flesh essence these days? Are they the crystallization of your essence?"

After receiving the affirmative answer from Xuetenglian, Zhang Mu slowly began to think.

You should know that the amount of flesh and blood devoured by the Blood Vine Lotus is not a small number. It took so many geniuses to cultivate two of them, which shows how precious they are. No wonder the Blood Vine Lotus looks so stingy and reluctant to give them up.

However, there are two of them after all, so there is still room for negotiation.

At this time, Zhang Mu, who had made up his mind, began to deceive the blood vine lotus, "Look, there are two of them, give me one, it will be enough blood and flesh essence to give birth to another one of the same kind, let's deal with this big white cat first."

But no matter how Zhang Mu tried to persuade him, Xue Teng Lian still looked unhappy. It directly took back the control of Zhang Mu and ignored him.

During the negotiation between Zhang Mu and Xue Teng Lian, all the mutant beasts were waiting quietly, including

White Tiger, so now it’s a very strange picture.

A human being stood upright on a Zerg body covered with armor-like defenses. He was surrounded by countless mutant beasts, but this man seemed to be thinking about something, completely ignoring the mutant beasts surrounding him.

But the mutant beasts cooperated well and did not attack the arrogant human.

“What on earth is he doing?”

The human evolvers on the city wall looked in Zhang Mu's direction and started whispering to each other, not daring to believe that what was happening before their eyes was real.

"Why didn't those mutant beasts attack Zhang Mu? Such a ferocious white tiger is actually coexisting peacefully with him now. Even though it is so close, and even though Zhang Mu asked the white tiger to look up at him at the beginning, it didn't attack. Could it be that this is a paper tiger?"

An evolver who had just been notified and rushed to the city wall was a little puzzled, but was immediately ridiculed by those around him.

"What do you know, a paper tiger? Look at the dozens of mutant beasts lying on the ground next to the tiger, their lives or deaths unknown. They were the work of the white tiger. If it was a paper tiger, there would be no real tigers in the world."

The man who said this glanced in Zhang Mu's direction with awe, and sighed, "This is a real man. When the beast king showed his might just now, I trembled and almost peed my pants, but Zhang Mu didn't react at all. Instead, he descended to such a low height and stared at the white tiger with such exaggerated strength without changing his expression. Although he is not as big as the white tiger, he is not overwhelmed by its momentum at all.

Only when one can achieve this level of life can one be truly free and happy. "

Now Zhang Mu didn't care what the humans or mutant beasts who were watching him were thinking. He and the Blood Vine Lotus haggled for a long time before they showed some signs of loosening up, until even the white tiger showed a hint of impatience on its face.

"How about it? As long as I provide you with enough flesh and blood to give birth to an essence crystal, you agree to give it up now?"

After Zhang Mu and Xue Teng Lian confirmed its request again, they finally raised their heads and looked directly at the white tiger.

"What, have you decided?"

White Tiger looked at Zhang Mu's left arm, wishing he could tear it off and take the Wood Essence for himself, but he was not sure whether Zhang Mu's method would work.

The White Tiger waited quietly for Zhang Mu for so long because he was unable to escape its attack. If it were someone else who was within easy reach, the White Tiger would have slapped him away long ago. Why would he waste time talking to Zhang Mu?

Zhang Mu saw that Bai Hu was determined to win, so the initiative was in his hands. He replied to Bai Hu with a smile on his face, "It's possible, but..."

The white tiger narrowed its eyes, its white whiskers slightly raised, and followed Zhang Mu's words and said, "Just what?"

Seeing Baihu's expression, Zhang Mu pretended not to see anything and continued to speak slowly, "It's just that the essence crystal is too wasteful for the Blood Vine Lotus. It has only condensed one so far. If I give it to you, it will cause great damage to its vitality. So, as a deal, I not only want you to take the mutant beasts away from Luoyang City, but you also have to agree to two of my conditions."

Zhang Mu became more excited as he got back to his old business of negotiating business. Since he didn't have to make concessions based on the strength of both parties, it was a seller's market now. As the saying goes, if you ask for a high price, you have to pay the low price. Zhang Mu would not be polite to Baihu.

A high-pitched tiger roar accompanied by sound waves blasted towards Zhang Mu and the obsidian worm. Although there was no energy attack attached, the power of the air wave was extremely great. The distance between the two was so short that Zhang Mu had to open his mental shield in time before the sound wave hit him to resist the sudden thunder that exploded in his ears.

Despite being pressured by the White Tiger, Zhang Mu's expression was still relaxed. He spread his hands towards the White Tiger and said, "You know, if the Blood Vine Lotus loses this essence crystal, its strength will decline dramatically, and it may even leave permanent injuries that cannot be recovered."

Besides, whether you evacuate Luoyang City or not, can you really threaten me? I've said it before, you and I are the same kind.

I, Zhang Mu, would give up my own interests for those who have nothing to do with me? It's a joke! "

Bai Hu's tone seemed to be suppressing his anger. He did not even discuss the terms with Zhang Mu before replying, "What terms do you want? If they are suitable, I will consider them myself."

Zhang Mu originally thought that the White Tiger would only agree to one condition at most, but he did not expect that the White Tiger was so realistic and seemed to be able to accept three conditions including the withdrawal from Luoyang City.

This time, the lion has the chance to make a big mouth. With such a big piece of fat meat, who else should he kill if not him?
