Chapter 161: Hell Lord’s Schemes, the Ocean Royal Family!
Freya excitedly accepted the scepter.
A faint green light appeared in her hand, and nature magic began to infuse into the scepter.
Bai Yu was worried that this girl would also trigger the lightning force within the scepter.
However, a rather magical scene unfolded, and an image was projected from within the scepter.
Amidst the chaotic haze, the phantom of a giant tree appeared.
This giant tree looked incredibly massive, but its phantom was only about a meter tall. Below its main trunk, a section about ten centimeters long, a vast amount of lightning force was gathered.
Bai Yu was somewhat surprised.
It seemed he had only unlocked a tiny portion of this giant tree?
After Freya conjured the phantom, she also looked at her friends beside her.
The Elf Race expert was also paying close attention.
After a few exchanges of glances among the elves, Freya returned the scepter to Bai Yu and then said, “You’ve only unlocked a very small part of the power of this Mother Tree branch.”
“If you want to unlock more power, you can come to us. However, it might require some compensation. This is also fair trade, as your Human Race follows.”
She said this with a hint of pride.
Bai Yu was quite interested in this and asked, “What kind of compensation?”
“Ummm, doesn’t your world have currency like Spiritual Stones? About ten thousand would suffice.”
“???”
Bai Yu’s eyes widened.
Damn! One Spiritual Stone is 100,000 Alliance Coins, so 10,000 would be 1 billion.
I’ve never seen so much money in my life!
“Ten thousand? Then forget it! With that money, I can find many other ways to improve my strength.”
Freya became a bit anxious and said, “That, our race’s Holy Land can definitely strengthen this weapon of yours to an extremely powerful level!”
“You know, our Elf Race are darlings of magic, and your weapon comes from our Mother Tree, which is the Lord of Elements.”
“After your weapon is baptized, it will absolutely be able to contain more types of elements, and elemental power far beyond imagination. Your strength will definitely become even greater!”
Bai Yu rolled his eyes.
From the few small actions just now, he could tell that these elves were all very excited upon seeing something from the Mother Tree.
This made him feel that there must not be a Mother Tree within the Elf Race, or perhaps, the Mother Tree was not of high caliber.
It might be like Director Yang said: Dragons from other worlds are not true dragons, and gods from other worlds are not true gods!
These elves might also need to compensate for their Great Dao.
That’s why they were so excited about a mere branch.
Perhaps helping him enhance the scepter would also bring them great benefits.
Of course, this was just speculation, and he would naturally speculate in a way that favored him.
Seeing Bai Yu’s prolonged silence, Freya, without much ulterior motive, said, “Doesn’t your Human Race like to haggle? If you don’t agree, we can negotiate further.”
Bai Yu thought about it; Professor Wang had a deposit of 150 million.
And with things like the Ten Spirit Nourishing Soup about to be ‘launched,’ they could earn a lot.
Professor Wang Wen maintained a good relationship with him and wouldn’t cheat him out of money, as who would want to offend a walking treasure trove of theses?
In a few months, it was possible to get three to four hundred million.
Thinking this, Bai Yu spoke, “To me, the value of this Scepter of Thunder is only around fifty million, equivalent to five hundred Spiritual Stones.”
Freya’s eyes widened, looking as if he were trying to deceive her.
Only five hundred Spiritual Stones?
She exclaimed in surprise, “Then I’ll offer double the price, can you sell it to me?”
“Uh…”
Unexpectedly, Freya was quite clever. Seeing Bai Yu’s awkwardness, she snorted.
“Hmph! Big liar!”
“Hahaha~”
Team member Yu Rundong, who was watching from behind, burst into laughter but quickly covered his mouth.
Bai Yu touched his neck, realizing these elves were not easy to fool.
Bah! He wasn’t trying to fool anyone!
If he got lucky at an auction, fifty million could indeed be a steal, right?
After thinking about it, Bai Yu said honestly, “I have many methods, and some things I can indeed get for one or two hundred Spiritual Stones.”
“How about this, for me, this item is worth a thousand Spiritual Stones. You can calculate the price based on this standard, a final price! Let’s see if I agree.”
Excluding summoned creatures like Bai Ling.
It was no exaggeration to say that this Scepter of Thunder contributed sixty to seventy percent to his strength.
Therefore, this transaction was indeed very important to him.
After Freya whispered a few words to her friends, she said, “Five thousand. We can truly help you strengthen this weapon to a very powerful extent! We’re not lying to you!”
“Alright! Then it’s that price. I’ll trade with you when I’ve saved up enough.”
“Ah? You don’t have money?”
The others heard this and wanted to laugh, but felt the occasion was inappropriate.
After all, there weren’t many people present who had five hundred million!
“???”
Are they calling me poor?
This is insulting!
My fists are hard, but my pockets are indeed a bit empty.
Seeing that the negotiation was concluded and the conversation had become slightly awkward, the Elf Race expert stepped forward and said, “Young Investigator, we can exchange contact information to facilitate future contact with our race.”
She had witnessed the battle and naturally recognized Bai Yu as one of the top Heaven’s Pride among the Human Race.
Since Freya and the other younger generation of their race had established this connection with Bai Yu, she naturally didn’t want it to be broken.
“Okay!”
After exchanging contact information.
Engine sounds could be heard from afar.
Soon, three large vehicles approached.
A group of Guard Team members in formal attire disembarked.
The person in the lead walked up to Director Li Yunbin and the other four Group Leaders, presented his identification, and then said, “All people within He Tian Village are currently in soul hibernation.”
“We now need your cooperation to use instruments to identify those who have been parasitized by Blood Demon sub-bodies and administer the Blood Demon cleansing potion.”
“Understood!”
Zhang Yi: “Yes, sir!”
Bai Yu and his team also got busy.
The Elf Race guards departed.
However, Freya and the others joined the process of clearing out the Blood Demons.
It seemed the Elf Race experts were deliberately cultivating them.
Indeed!
They were too naive and sweet right now!
Previously, within a race of about ten thousand people, there wasn’t much to worry about.
But upon entering complex human society, there would be many more problems!
The times would not stop for anyone’s will.
During the cleanup.
Bai Yu sensed that the Underworld had dispersed!
The Yin Messenger transformed into a Netherworld light and left the area.
Li Maoshan retracted his Blood Sea power. He had likely extracted the Mind Demon Mother-Child Body alive, and it would be studied later.
‘I wonder what mission the Yin Messenger and that Death God’s confrontation ultimately completed.’
Judging by the combat situation, that Death God seemed to be an unconscious entity.
The Hellish scenes in this area and those strange Spirit Bodies were definitely related to it.
The Demon Race side seemed to have no further preparations.
A Spirit Sea Realm Demon came, but ran away after the fight?
I can’t figure it out.
I’ll wait to see the intelligence tonight.
There should be a lot of information.
‘Speaking of which, the secrets of the Northern Mountain Range are truly numerous!’
‘I’ve only been here for two days, and every day has been rewarding.’
In the underground passage.
The Spirit Sea Realm Demon, originally named Kang Yi, now known as Akaron Bal.
“Cough~”
Akaron coughed out a mouthful of demon blood.
“Damn it! That guy’s blood power has infiltrated my body.”
And that Elf’s arrow had caused him immense damage.
Now, that blood power was fiercely clashing with his demon power within his body.
Fortunately, demons had strong physiques, otherwise, he would have died long ago!
At this moment, a phantom appeared before his eyes.
As soon as this phantom appeared, without uttering a word, it unleashed the Pressure from a Hell Lord.
Akaron felt a suffocating sensation.
Just as he had done to his subordinate that afternoon.
“Your subordinate admits his guilt! But that old monk had already dealt with the Vampire Clan and set his sights on me. If your subordinate hadn’t fled, he would have surely died!”
“Hmph!”
The Demon Lord snorted, but he did retract his Pressure.
As a cunning demon, he naturally knew what his subordinate was thinking.
That was to make an appearance, to avoid deeper punishment.
From the current situation, just by engaging in combat for a while, he had sustained such severe injuries.
If he had stayed any longer, he would have surely died!
As for whether these injuries were intentional, that was unknown.
And this true Demon Lord also knew that their current arrangements in the Ninth Administrative District alone were insufficient to counter the Investigation Bureau’s major operation.
Moreover, the other side’s operation this time had to be swift.
He didn’t have time to respond.
After a moment of thought, the Demon Lord asked, “Now, other Alien Races are entering Tianhai City, intending to contend for the Natal Items of the Black Demon Seven Sons, correct?”
“Yes! Six days ago, there was a major battle in Tianhai City. The Vampire Clan seized a Natal Item Incarnation but was apprehended by the Investigation Bureau. The Dark Dragon Lord from the Shadow Realm also snatched an Incarnation, but the Investigation Bureau let him go.”
“It is said that the Investigation Bureau also captured another Natal Item Incarnation, which was a Spirit Sea Realm Blood Demon of the Vampire Clan. Before the Investigation Bureau’s operation, the Vampire Clan seemed unaware that this Spirit Sea Realm Blood Demon was being controlled!”
“Recently, Tianhai City has been acting extremely aggressively! It has exceeded the expectations of various races. Now, it seems they intend to clear out the Northern Mountain Range.”
The Demon Lord said indifferently, “I am aware of all this.”
He thought carefully.
The Death God’s Messenger in the Sancha River Town area had been eliminated.
The Death God’s Messengers in other regions would likely be unearthed one by one!
This was the most troublesome part!
Someone must be found to tie down these humans.
With this thought, the Demon Lord suddenly thought of an Alien Race: the Sea Monster Clan!
The Sea Monster Clan was not a general term for all alien races in the ocean.
In fact, the Pacific Ocean alone was divided into over ten factions.
The Sea Monster Clan that invaded the Ninth Administrative District was composed of numerous Otherworld forces, calling themselves the Ocean Royal Family.
These guys were planning to take a bite out of the big cake that was the Ninth Administrative District.
“In that case, you…”
“Your subordinate understands!”
Under the moonlight.
Inside the villa study.
The interior decoration was quite luxurious, with all red sandalwood tables and chairs.
That night, the fair-skinned man who met with the Red Moon Blade Demon in the dense forest was quietly holding a calligraphy brush, writing.
On the sofa sat that Demon Sorcerer, but now in human form, his hairstyle alone made him look quite fashionable.
He knew the Spirit Sea Realm individual, Akaron Bal, whose human name was Kang Yi.
At this moment, the Demon Sorcerer took a sip of a crimson liquid and said, “It seems your troops are just cannon fodder. However, you won’t feel heartbroken.”
The fair-skinned man, with the appearance of a frail ancient scholar, smiled faintly.
“Heh~ These are the orders from the fools above. They don’t care about our losses. As for you, your master was injured, and you don’t seem to care.”
“Heh heh~! It’s even better if he dies!”
