"It's okay to tell you. You can't tell me what to do. The location and method of opening the master's treasure house are known only to me. That's why I didn't participate in the battle between the master and the current palace master—even if I participated, it would have been useless! The moment the master was defeated, I fled." Yamabimon said, "I fled here and fell asleep underground. But before I fell asleep, I carved the method to wake me up on a huge rock in the woods."
"It's no use carving the stone. This damn place is so remote, no one will come here. I came here to roast the lamb because there are few people here." Wang Xiaohai said, "Tell me, what kind of private treasury did the previous hall master hide? I remember that the treasure house was counted and guarded by the Niraku tribe."
"You know so much, but you need to know more—there's nothing good in this treasure trove belonging to Lord White Star. All the angelic deities who govern the continent have hidden away the best treasures." Yamaomon snorted coldly, "Don't try to trick me. I won't tell you where it is, and even if I do, I won't tell you how to open it. If you force your way into the vault, the explosive device inside will blow it all up, and you'll still get nothing!"
"You underestimate me too much. They are just some gold, silver, jewelry, rotten copper and iron, like dirt. How could I be interested in them?" Wang Xiaohai's voice was full of disdain.
"It's not gold, silver or jewelry." Yamabimon retorted.
Wang Xiaohai opened his eyes slightly and listened attentively.
"I won't tell you!" Yamabimon walked from the sea to the beach.
"Since your master is dead, why don't you give me the contents of your private vault? I'll give you a thousand roasted lambs. I believe you're wanted by the temples of this continent now, and you have almost no source of food. Think about it, you're as big as a mountain, and you'll scare people wherever you go. How are you going to get food?" Wang Xiaohai said, "Rather than guarding the treasure house and starving to death sooner or later, it's better to trade with me sooner rather than later. If you're dead, no matter how many treasures you have, it's useless!"
"Wouldn't that put me at a huge disadvantage? The contents of the secret treasure trove left behind by the master are worth far more than a thousand sheep!" said the Yamabimon. "I'll slowly fall asleep, reduce my energy consumption, and then emerge after the current temple master dies of old age. After all, a two-winged angel only lives for 100,000 years, and my lifespan is much longer than theirs. I'm still in my infancy."
"It's not good for your health to be hungry for so many years," Wang Xiaohai said. "Even if you wait for tens of thousands of years, the new Palace Master may not accept you. He might still beat you up or even kill you!"
I have to say that what Wang Xiaohai said made a lot of sense, and Yamawei Beast seemed to be about to be convinced.
"I can give you the treasures in my private vault, but you have to promise me one thing," said the Yamaomon. "A thousand sheep are not enough. You need to keep me well fed."
Wang Xiaohai looked at the size of the mountain-tailed beast and shook his head. "With your size, you'd need to eat at least a million cows to be full! A cow costs fifty taels, so a full meal would cost fifty million taels. You could eat up the treasury of a small country. If you want three meals a day, even if I have to pay for your food for a year, I don't have that much money!"
"Well...don't worry. Although I eat a lot, I can last for a thousand years after a full meal. I guarantee that I won't need to eat again for a thousand years." said Yamabimon.
"Then I feel relieved. It's just one million cows. Leave it to me." Wang Xiaohai patted his chest and guaranteed that he could still afford 50 million taels.
"It's not one million. If it's cattle, it'll be two million. Elephants will be a little less, but it's difficult to collect so many elephants on this continent." The horns on the forehead of the mountain tail beast gleamed.
"Two million cows! That's one hundred million taels." Wang Xiaohai felt a bit out of place. If the things in the private vault weren't worth one hundred million taels, he would have made a loss. "Your stomach is so big! Can you make your body a little smaller?"
"My tribe has a transformation technique passed down in our memories, but it can only be mastered after reaching adulthood." Yamabimon explained, "I'm not an adult yet, so my body can't shrink."
Wang Xiaohai looked at the thousand-meter-long Mountain Tail Beast and felt a bit troubled. If he took it to buy cattle or travel, who would dare to sell it to him? However—it seemed that this method was not bad. He could directly threaten the lord with more cattle and sheep, so he wouldn't have to pay! However, doing so would be equivalent to exposing himself directly to the outside world. The master of the mainland temple would immediately come to kill him.
Wang Xiaohai and Bai Yu barely won the battle. The temple master must be powerful enough to kill the previous master. If he was defeated, he would be dead. It is better to avoid unknown things. Reckless people are destined to go nowhere.
"Then we'll travel at night to the nearby grassland country. During the day, you'll hide in the uninhabited area of the grassland and disguise yourself as a thousand-meter-high mountain," Wang Xiaohai said. "It's best to cover yourself with some grass so others can't recognize you as a living being."
"Is this okay?" Yamaomon said doubtfully. "What if someone climbs on me to get the clues for a climbing competition?"
"You have a vivid imagination. Who would bother holding a mountain climbing competition on you?" Wang Xiaohai said. "Besides, if you shake them, they'll just come down. At most, they'll mistake it for a landslide and won't suspect you're a monster. Humans like to think positively. Also, what's your name? I can't call you a unicorn monster with flaming hooves anymore."
"I'm Yamabimon. You can just call me Shanshan. My previous master called me that, too." Yamabimon said, "Shall we go out and look for food now? I'm a little hungry. You might as well give me one of those thousand roasted lambs to fill my teeth with."
"You idiot, you only know how to eat." Wang Xiaohai said as he flew to the forehead of the mountain tail beast and sat down. "Is it okay for me to sit on your head? I'm too lazy to fly."
"It's okay, just think of it as a flea on my body." Shanshan said honestly.
Wang Xiaohai really wanted to slap Shanshan to death with one slap.
Dark clouds arrived and night fell.
Shanshan set off, walking towards the grassland country in his memory. Because he could not fly, every step he took was like an earthquake.
"Can you be a little gentler?" Wang Xiaohai reminded.
"Be gentle and slow down." Shanshan replied.
"Just go slow and hide well. Aren't we traveling at night to hide? What's the difference between running fast and running during the day? You can run a thousand meters with one step, so are you afraid of being slow?" Wang Xiaohai said.
After being criticized by Wang Xiaohai, Shanshan hung his head and took a step every five seconds as he walked slowly towards the grassland in his memory.
"How long have you been sleeping? Could your memory be wrong?" Wang Xiaohai asked while lying on Shanshan's nose.
"It's been tens of thousands of years. My memory is very good and there won't be any mistakes. I'm just a little animal and I'm not old, so my memory won't deteriorate." Shanshan replied.
"You're still small? You could build a small town on your body!" Wang Xiaohai complained, "Is there any creature on this continent bigger than you?"
Shanshan was too lazy to answer Wang Xiaohai's boring question and just said, "Don't stay on my nose. It's a bit itchy and I keep wanting to sneeze!"
