Starting As a Young Eagle, I Evolve Into an Ice Beast

118: Chapter 118 Genuine Goods at Fair Prices, Honest and HonestGeneral Wang Zhuo gritted his teeth and finally agreed: ”That’s fine, but I need to inspect the goods first.”

General Wang Zhuo was naturally uneasy and wanted to ensure he wouldn’t be taken for a fool.

Bai Xuan tossed a space ring into General Wang Zhuo’s hand: ”Genuine goods, fair prices.”

”How do you use this?” General Wang Zhuo examined the space ring like a curious child; after all, this gadget was quite a treasure.

”Just inject your spiritual power into it,” Bai Xuan replied simply.

The several Fourth-Rank, Ninth-Stage martial artists crowded around to observe the space ring closely. It seemed to possess a magical allure that enticed them, but they rationally controlled themselves; no one tried to snatch it, though they all watched with glowing eyes.

General Wang Zhuo injected his spiritual power to check the interior. The space inside was empty; there wasn’t a single item, or rather, Bai Xuan hadn’t included anything. Yet, General Wang Zhuo still examined it with great interest. A moment later, he reluctantly withdrew his consciousness from the space: ”It truly is a fine treasure.”

General Wang Zhuo returned the space ring to Bai Xuan with reluctance.

”May I ask, Lord Eagle King, where did this item come from? Or did you make it yourself?” one of the Fourth-Rank, Ninth-Stage martial artists couldn’t help but ask.

Bai Xuan told them straightforwardly: ”This gadget is a treasure from the Zerg. You can obtain it by killing them; it’s pretty much like loot dropping.”

In any case, with their current technology, they couldn’t decipher the mysteries of the space ring yet. At the same time, they would discover it sooner or later, so there was no harm in telling them.

”The Zerg? No wonder. Only they would possess such treasures.”

General Wang Zhuo had anticipated this from the start. Bai Xuan’s martial strength was fine, but it was impossible for him to manufacture such a treasure; even humans couldn’t create it at this time.

Going from zero to something is a very difficult task, but going from one to something is much easier.

”Payment upon delivery. When do you plan to bring the resources?” Bai Xuan asked.

”Within three days.” General Wang Zhuo dismissed the idea of buying more. He planned to search the Zerg corpses for space treasures after returning. However, he had to buy this one from Bai Xuan; since the price had already been negotiated, backing out now would be no different than toying with Bai Xuan, which would severely damage the relationship between the two parties.

Bai Xuan guessed that they would go looking through Zerg corpses, but he wasn’t worried. To remove the restrictions on a space ring, one didn’t just need powerful spiritual energy; one also needed blueprints and the like. Otherwise, it would easily explode, and then there would be nothing left.

If they wanted to buy more later, the price would be much higher than this.

”That’s fine. Just trade with Huzi in the southern region.” Bai Xuan nodded slightly and directed them to trade with Huzi, saving himself the trip.

”Who is this Huzi?” General Wang Zhuo wasn’t clear about which fierce beast Huzi was. After all, there were a bunch of tigers in the southern region, and three of them had a say, so to avoid mistakes, he chose to ask for clarification.

”It’s yours truly.” Huzi roared a few times.

The translated voice reached the ears of General Wang Zhuo and the martial artists. The martial artists’ mouths twitched, but they didn’t say anything.

”Alright, since that’s the case, we’ll see you in two days.” General Wang Zhuo said, wearing an awkward but polite smile.

”Don’t play any tricks, or you’ll have hell to pay.” Huzi snorted and threatened.

”A promise is a promise.” General Wang Zhuo nodded slightly.

”What does that mean?” Clearly, Huzi didn’t understand General Wang Zhuo’s words.

”It means we will keep our word,” Xiao Hei replied.

”It seems this Lord Crow is very knowledgeable about the language of our Dragon Country.” Seeing this scene, General Wang Zhuo couldn’t help but feel curious. He was used to speaking, and for a moment, he had forgotten he was communicating with a fierce beast. Just as he was about to answer, Xiao Hei had spoken up to explain first, which intrigued General Wang Zhuo.

Although Xiao Hei had spent some time with the Forest Ranger, it was just an ordinary bird back then. Even if it were smart, it should only be able to learn some simple words. Xiao Hei’s performance today greatly exceeded his expectations.

Perhaps Xiao Hei was the breakthrough point. If he could build a good relationship with the Lord of the Far East, or recruit it as an informant to act when necessary, that would be even better.

”You flatter me,” Xiao Hei replied modestly, waving its wings.

”Lord Crow, Lord Eagle King, Lord Huzi, our Dragon Country welcomes you to visit as guests at any time,” General Wang Zhuo said. Although it was a bit risky, it was one of the methods to build a good relationship. He couldn’t stop Bai Xuan, and there was no need to worry about Xiao Hei, but Huzi made them a bit anxious. However, with that guy’s temper, it probably wouldn’t accept the invitation to enter the Dragon Country’s territory, right?

”We’ll talk about that in the future,” Bai Xuan said perfunctorily.

”Don’t think we’ll fall for your trick. You want us to lower our guard so you can wipe us out, right?” Huzi naturally didn’t believe they had such good intentions. Furthermore, this was their territory, so Huzi didn’t mince its words.

”Lord Huzi, you’re joking.” Hearing the voice from the translator, General Wang Zhuo gave a bitter smile and defended himself.

Bai Xuan did not stop Huzi, while Xiao Hei smiled helplessly: ”Given the current relationship between fierce beasts and humans, I wouldn’t dare to enter your territory so casually.”

Xiao Hei knew what they wanted to do, but it just didn’t point it out.

”Alright, let’s stop talking about this. If there’s nothing else, you can return the way you came,” Bai Xuan ended the topic.

”We still have something we would like to discuss with you, Lord Eagle King,” General Wang Zhuo said quickly. They hadn’t stated the most important matter yet, so how could they leave?

”You want to talk to me about dealing with the Zerg, right?” Bai Xuan knew it wasn’t that simple. To express gratitude and deliver gifts, did it really require a General to come? And there was the Earth Nether Flood Dragon; this was the foundation of the Dragon Country.

Combining this with the difficulties currently faced by the Dragon Country, it wasn’t hard to guess their intentions.

”Nothing can escape your discerning eyes.” General Wang Zhuo smiled and began to butter him up. There were very few people he would flatter, let alone a fierce beast.

”Why should I help you deal with the Zerg? And what can you do to help us? So, there’s nothing left to discuss.”

Right now, in the Far East Region, the Siberia Region, and the Menggu Country region, very few Zerg dared to intrude. They feared Bai Xuan, so it was normal for them not to enter. But what about the Dragon Country? A single Fifth-Rank, Seventh-Stage Zerg demon beast was enough to make them struggle, let alone even more powerful Zerg demon beasts.

This was unequal; Bai Xuan did not need the Dragon Country, while the Dragon Country needed Bai Xuan to join them in fighting the Zerg.

”The situation on Blue Star is tense now, and with the Zerg invasion, only by temporarily setting aside our grudges can we protect our common home. If we let the Zerg grow and become stronger, and the creatures of Blue Star suffer countless casualties and heavy damage, will you, Lord Eagle King, be able to face so many Zerg?”

General Wang Zhuo expressed his views and thoughts. Indeed, Bai Xuan was very strong now and didn’t fear the Zerg, but what about in the future? Could he maintain this growth speed forever? The most important thing now was to form an alliance, significantly reduce the number of casualties, and ensure there was enough strength to deal with the Zerg.

Infighting is just a path to death.
