1029 Greed
“This monkey is too powerful!”
Fu Mingxue stared at the ape with a hint of battle intent in his eyes.
“I thought I was born with divine power. Now that I’ve seen this monkey, I finally understand what are talent and shocking divine power,” Lu Zhishen praised and exclaimed. He was also a strong person born with divine power and a strong physique. Back then, he had done something like uprooting a willow tree. Now, not only did he cultivate the Qi cultivation technique, but he also cultivated the body refining technique. He did not waste his bones and muscles.
However, when he saw this monkey, he was shocked. It was too violent.
After the ape continued its massacre again, it immediately ran to the side of the wooden horse and grabbed it tightly, not letting it escape. This was a rare treasure horse! No matter what, it couldn’t let anything happen to this horse.
The slaughter continued, and at every moment, a sea of lives were gone.
A large number of corpses almost piled up under the city wall, became a path up the city wall. It had to be said that the monster army was too crazy. Under the continuous attack, they once killed their way up the city wall. Although they were quickly killed by the soldiers on the city wall, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Dawn also started to suffer casualties.
Fortunately, the casualties weren’t great.
After consuming the Yin Yang Pill during the day, all of them had a breakthrough in their cultivation, and their strength increased greatly. Their combat strength was more than ten percent stronger than last night, so it was not difficult for them to defend the city.
Unknowingly, time passed quietly, and the sky turned bright.
When the first ray of light appeared, the monster army began to retreat rapidly.
Another night passed.
After a night of slaughter, the battlefield was littered with corpses.
“Hey! Humans on the city wall, listen up! I helped you chase away the enemies. Quickly open the city gate and let me in now. Prepare the best wine and food to entertain me. Also, send me a batch of treasures as a reward for defending the city.”
The ape looked at the armored and well-equipped soldiers on the city walls, and a greedy look appeared in its eyes.
The humans in this city were so rich. Everyone had a set of magical artifacts-level armor. The weapons were sharp, and the crossbow arrows rained down from the start of the fight to the end.
These crossbow arrows were all treasures, and it wondered how much money they had spent in one night. It immediately guessed that these humans were cash cows, so it wanted to extort them.
The ape had no other hobbies except collecting treasures.
Now that it saw how wealthy Setting Sun City was, it didn’t want to leave.
“What?”
“It wants us to bring it good wine and delicacies, and even give it treasures. Is there something wrong with this monkey’s brain?”
“Does it think that it can act without fear, or does it think that we couldn’t defend Setting Sun City without it? Those Evernight soldiers can’t break through our walls even without it!”
The soldiers were all stunned and felt that their brains could not process what was happening.
Was there something wrong with this monkey’s brain? It was asking for benefits from Setting Sun City so blatantly. Did it think that the bows and arrows in their hands were useless, or did it think that it was invincible?
Although its giant ape form was very terrifying, the soldiers did not think that it was invincible.
No one thought that Li Xiang would accept such a threat.
“If you want good wine and delicacies, that’s fine. I’ll take it as a reward for your bravery on the battlefield. However, if you want treasures, you’re asking for an inch. In this battle, with or without you, these Evernight troops still can’t break through Setting Sun City. It was an accident that you appeared on the battlefield, and you brought this upon yourself when you clashed with the clown and ended up fighting. No one else instructed you. If you want to extort benefits with this, then you’re looking for the wrong person.”
Li Xiang was actually quite happy with the monkey’s antics. Not only did it greatly reduce the casualties on the Kingdom of Dawn’s side, but it also attracted the attention of the clown. He even saw many of the clown’s trump cards.
Originally, if the monkey had expressed its goodwill, Li Xiang wouldn’t have minded giving it some benefits.
However, this kind of fearless extortion was a little too much, and it was even more impossible for him to agree.
“King, this monkey seems to be a little greedy and likes to collect rare treasures. When it saw the wooden horse just now, it didn’t hesitate to take it for itself. Its personality is extremely domineering and has no taboos. However, it’s not weak. If we can befriend it or even subdue it, it will be of great benefit to the Kingdom of Dawn.”
Zhou Qing sized up the monkey before sending a voice transmission to Li Xiang.
This monkey’s combat strength was undoubtedly top-notch. On the battlefield, it could be said to be a top-notch killing weapon. It was enough to sweep through the battlefield and suppress all enemies.
“What do you think, advisor?”
Li Xiang also asked.
“Of course, there are methods, but it’s not guaranteed. I can only try,” said Zhou Qing.
“Please tell,” said Li Xiang.
“This monkey is greedy and loves treasures. When it comes to treasures, it has the urge to take them for itself. It could have left the battlefield but it chose to stay. I saw that it repeatedly look at the armor and weapons of our soldiers. Obviously, it saw that the soldiers of the Kingdom of Dawn were well-equipped and wanted to extort a sum of money.”
“In that case, why don’t we beat it at its game and use the treasure as a medium to test this monkey?” Zhou Qing chuckled.
Li Xiang listened to Zhou Qing’s plan in secret, but his expression remained unchanged.
He still had some thoughts about subduing or befriending this monkey. Once the Indestructible Diamond Body was fully developed, it would become a top-notch powerhouse.
He made a decision but he didn’t show it on his face.
“Hehe! This war city isn’t small. However, those mere cultivators of the sea of divinity can’t stop me from entering.”
The ape grinned strangely.
Anyway, it had clung to it.
“Do you think that no one here can suppress you? How are you qualified to make me give you treasures?” said Li Xiang calmly with disdain.
“It’s very simple. With my combat strength, I can do whatever I want in your Setting Sun City. I have nearly a million kilograms of monstrous divine power. I’m peerless with my iron stick, and technique. With my magical power and combat strength, before I came, you Human race must have worshipped me as a totem and offered me many treasures to receive my protection. Otherwise, you would have died long ago.”
The ape said confidently.
In the Myriad World Continent, it was worshipped as a totem by the Human race. They wanted to receive its protection thus they offered it treasures every year. In its opinion, fists were the reason, and the stick was the rule.
“So, is your strength what you are most proud of?”
