742 A Big Gamble
Just as Hu Bailie was about to return to his original position, he heard the old chief of the Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clan behind him say, “Little friend Lu, your bronze toy is so imposing. Take him to the imperial palace of the Huqin Dynasty one day! Let’s see if it’s the imperial palace of the Huqin Dynasty or if your bronze toy is more impressive!”
Lu Benwei almost laughed out loud. Hu Bailie almost fell to the ground.
“You two, just you wait!”
…
At this moment, the disputes on the battlefield had already stopped.
The rest were all top existences.
For example, the Huqin Dynasty, the Great Peacock King, the Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clan, and a few other large factions. Of course, there was also Lu Benwei.
The atmosphere at the scene was particularly anxious. Everyone was eyeing the Red Phoenix divine medicine covetously.
“Great Peacock King, you’re the only one with a high moral standing among the people here,” The old chief of the Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clan said.
Lu Benwei nodded and agreed with the old chief.
Many people nodded in agreement and said, “Great Peacock King, everyone respects you. Why don’t you come up with an idea? If you think it’s suitable, everyone can implement it together!”
“Since that’s the case, then I’ll be indebted to everyone’s love.”
The Great Peacock King walked to the center and spread out his feathers. They were colorful and dazzling.
“I have a good idea.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up and they leaned over to listen.
“How about we all make a gamble?”
“Big gamble?” Everyone was puzzled.
“That’s right, it’s a big gamble,” the Great Peacock King said.”
“Right now, the birth of the Red Phoenix divine medicine is probably just a few million pounds of red pearls.”
“Why don’t we do this? Everyone will take turns providing red pearls for the Red Phoenix divine medicine. Whoever can make the Red Phoenix divine medicine appear will be the winner.”
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other. It had to be said that this was indeed a way to stop the bloodshed and conflict. At the same time, it was a way to determine the ownership of the Red Phoenix divine medicine.
“What does everyone think?” the Great Peacock King asked.
“I have no objections!” the old chief of the Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clan said loudly.
“I have no objections either.”
The Great Peacock King looked at Lu Benwei. “Little friend Lu, what about you?”
Lu Benwei was a little worried, but at this moment, more than half of the people had agreed to the big gamble. He braced himself and said, “I have no objections either.”
“In that case, you may go first, young friend!” The Great Peacock King let Lu Benwei go first.
Lu Benwei came closer and looked up at the top of the tree.
The Great Peacock King’s idea was right. It required millions of pounds of red pearls for the Red Phoenix divine medicine to appear, but no one knew exactly how much.
Lu Benwei slowly let out a breath of turbid air and took out a million pounds of red pearls.
“A million pounds of red pearls and you want to obtain the Red Phoenix divine medicine? Isn’t that too whimsical?”
Someone sneered. It was the general of the Huqin Dynasty, Hu Bailie.
Lu Benwei could not be bothered with him. He infused the red pearl with blood essence into the Red Phoenix divine medicine.
Everyone was staring at the top of the tree.
“Kacha kacha!”
“Rumble!”
Thunder as thick as a bucket fell from the sky and robbed the Red Phoenix divine medicine. A crack about three fingers wide spread from the top of the golden egg to the bottom.
Some cracks could be seen faintly. The golden egg emitted a dazzling golden light, and a rich medicinal fragrance lingered around his nose.
Such a phenomenon had never happened before!
“What? This kid is going to succeed?” Hu Bailie almost fainted from anger.
“Haha, I’m finally going to see the Red Phoenix divine medicine. Little friend, your luck is not bad!” The old chief of the Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clan tapped Lu Benwei’s shoulder.
“Congratulations, little friend Lu.” The Great Peacock King came to congratulate him.
The phenomenon suddenly stopped, and the world returned to peace.
A Red Phoenix’s shadow was faintly discernible. The Phoenix Blood Tree was covered in flames. It was so huge that its branches and leaves covered all the mountains.
Layer after layer of cracks appeared on the golden egg. The Red Phoenix divine medicine seemed to be about to break out of the ground.
Everyone held their breaths and allowed time to pass.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
The world was still peaceful, and the Red Phoenix divine medicine showed no signs of appearing.
“Hah! Looks like it still needs more red pearls!” Hu Bailie laughed. He was very happy that Lu Benwei did not succeed.
“It seems that about eight million pounds of red pearls is enough!”
One of them stepped forward and infused eight million pounds of red pearls into it. Soon, a shocking scene happened.
There was no phenomenon on the eggshell of the Red Phoenix divine medicine!
“What’s going on?”
Everyone was stunned.
“Continue!” the Great Peacock King gritted his teeth and said.
“In that case, I’ll go first!” The Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clan’s old chief soared into the sky, holding 20 million pounds of red pearls in his hand.
“What? This old fellow has so many red pearls?” The general of the Huqin Dynasty, Hu Bailie, said angrily.
Many people panicked. They all estimated that the Red Phoenix divine medicine would only need millions of pounds of red pearls to appear.
Twenty million pounds was clearly beyond their expectations!
“Old fart, you tricked us!” Hu Bailie was furious.
The old chief of the Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clan chuckled and said, “Who set you up? Is there a rule that limits the number of red pearls?”
“Get down here!” Hu Bailie could not contain his anger. He rushed into the sky, trying to stop the old chief.
“You dare?!”
Lu Benwei roared. With a wave of his hands, the Bronze Temple soared into the sky and protected the old chief.
“Haha! Brat, when the Red Phoenix divine medicine appears, this old man will give you half!” The old chief of the Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clan laughed loudly.
Hu Bailie was so angry that his hair stood on end.
However, when he sensed the divine might emanating from the Bronze Temple, he had no choice but to return to his original position.
“Ha, the Red Phoenix divine medicine is mine!”
The old chief fused 20 million pounds of red pearls into the Red Phoenix divine medicine.
At this moment, everyone’s hearts were in their throats as they stared straight at the top of the tree.
“Is the Red Phoenix divine medicine about to appear?”
Everyone hoped that the Red Phoenix divine medicine would be obtained by the old chief of the Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clan.
At this moment, their feelings were very complicated.
A scene that left everyone speechless happened again. The Red Phoenix divine medicine remained indifferent.
“What’s going on?” Everyone was dumbfounded.
The 20 million pounds of red pearls seemed to have gone down the drain.
“Damn it, do I still need a large number of red pearls?” The Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clan’s old chief cursed and swore. 20 million pounds of red pearls had gone down the drain, making him feel rather pained.
“Haha, old fart, the heavens have eyes and didn’t let you get the Red Phoenix divine medicine!” Hu Bailie laughed maniacally.
Then, he took out nearly 40 million pounds of red pearls.
“Since 20 million pounds aren’t enough, then 40 million pounds!”
The Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clan was so angry that they cursed. “You still say that I’m scheming? You hid a lot behind my back!”
