David looked at him, his purple eyes showing neither trust nor hostility, and calmly asked, “Why?”
“Why finish off the gods?”
The old man grinned, showing a row of yellow teeth. “Because the demons also give out rewards. eliminating a divine cultivator and bringing his head to the demon territory will give you double the reward. Don’t you know?”
David raised his eyebrows slightly: “The Demon Clan has also issued rewards?”
“Yeah! The news came out last night!”
The old man’s voice was full of excitement, “Kill an eighth-level Golden Immortal of the Divine Race, and the Demon Race will give you 200,000 top-level crystals!”
This is twice what the gods offered! Only a fool would not accept this deal! We helped the gods eliminate devil cultivators before because of those crystals.
Now that the demons have more to offer, of course we will help them finish off the gods! This is business; we help whoever pays the highest price, that’s fair!
The human cultivators and beastmen behind him nodded in agreement, and one of them even patted the storage bag at his waist with a satisfied expression on his face, which contained the head of a freshly decapitated god.
“This deal is great!”
“Those Protoss people have always been arrogant and arrogant, I haven’t liked them for a long time!”
“Finishing one divine cultivator is comparable to eliminating two demonic cultivators. Only a fool would continue to eliminate demonic cultivators!”
Seeing their flat expressions, David was silent for a moment, then a faint smile appeared on his lips: “Indeed, in business, it is natural to help whoever offers the highest price.”
The old man chuckled. “Right? So we’re not here to kill you. We’re bringing these god heads to the Black Abyss Valley to exchange for bounties. You’re also going to the Black Abyss Valley, right? Good timing, we can go together!”
David nodded: “Then let’s go together.”
The old man turned around and waved to the human cultivators and beastmen behind him: “Are you guys finished packing? If so, let’s go! The Black Abyss Valley is not close, and it’s getting dark!”
“Finished!”
“Walk!”
The human cultivators and beastmen stood up, patting the bloodstains and dirt off their hands, and some even wiped the golden bloodstains on their magical artifacts with cloths before putting them into their storage bags.
They smiled, walked casually, and chatted about their catch of the day, as if they had just finished a normal hunt.
Carrying their storage bags, they followed David and his group towards the Black Abyss Valley.
The number of team members was more than double than before, and the tense atmosphere of a moment ago had disappeared, replaced by an eerie harmony.
After walking for a while, Yan Feng couldn’t help but approach David and asked in a low voice, “Benefactor are those people really trustworthy?”
David glanced at the human and beast cultivators who were chatting and laughing, a thoughtful look flashed in his purple eyes: “They are helping us now because the Demon Race is offering higher rewards.”
If one day the gods offer more than the demons, they will turn around and help the gods finish us off. To them, it’s just business.
“Then, we will travel with them”
“At least it’s safe for now.”
David’s voice was calm, “Moreover, they know the location of the Black Abyss Valley and can guide us. Once we arrive at the Black Abyss Valley, they will take their gifts and leave, while we stay in the valley, and we will not disturb each other.”
Yan Feng thought for a while and nodded: “What my benefactor said makes sense.”
He didn’t ask any more questions, quickened his pace, and followed David from behind.
As dusk deepened, the clouds on the horizon were dyed dark red by the last rays of the setting sun, resembling a sea of frozen blood.
The group made their way through the wilderness, towards the Black Abyss Valley.
The human cultivators and beastmen carrying the severed heads were still happily discussing the day’s harvest and the bounty that would soon be theirs. Their voices drifted through the twilight, bringing eerie calm and joy.
David walked at the front of the group, his gray robe flapping in the wind.
His gaze was fixed on the outline of the Black Abyss Valley that was slowly becoming clearer in front of him, his purple eyes filled with complex emotions.
The demons have set a reward for the capture of the gods.
This tactic, using other people’s methods against their own, was indeed brilliant.
And the person who was able to make this decision in such a short time.
The image of that cold but youthful face flashed through David’s mind.
Ning Zhi.
Only he can придумать such evil tricks.
After living in the Celestial Realm for a long time, the cultivators there only knew how to cultivate, and their minds didn’t really function anymore.
