Chapter 157: Calamity of No Cause

  The Demon Chef chuckled a few times: "Don't underestimate the human race, humans also have demigods and legendary summoners! If the beast tribe's demigod legends participate in the war, how can our human demigod legends just stand by and watch? Of course, except for me, I'm a pacifist, I don't fight."

  "Come on, aren't you going to fight?" Li Xie gave him a white eye and said: "So, the strong men of the beast tribe generally won't take action?"

  "That's for sure, who has the time to fight? We can't even finish our meals! Moreover, we have the Martial Emperor among our human tribe." The tone of Mo Chuan was proud and respectful.

  Li Xie narrowed his eyes, could this guy be having an affair with Wu Huang?

  Speaking of Wu Huang, Li Xie also came with interest. On that day, in the Hai Huang Palace, he looked up at the sky and said, "Is Wu Huang one of our human tribe? What kind of person is he?"

  "Emperor Wu...!" The Demon Chef gazed up at the sky at a 45-degree angle: "He is Emperor Wu!"

  "Come on! Tell me, don't bluff."

  Mo Chu smiled wryly: "I don't know, to this day no one knows what Wu Huang looks like, only that he lives on Wan Zhen Cliff and directed the doomsday war two thousand years ago, nothing else is known."

  "Is that it?"

  "What else can you do?" Mo Chuan glared at Li Xie: "Aren't you worried about the Beast Clan? What are you dragging Wu Huang into this for?"

  "Hmm..." Li Xie chuckled: "Since you're interested, let's ask. If we fly directly to the Beast Tribe's territory, is it dangerous?"

  "Uh, I'm not really sure about that," Mo Chuan shrugged. "In my opinion, there shouldn't be any danger."

  Aren't you just talking nonsense? Apart from a demigod making a move, what danger could you possibly pose?

  Li Xie narrowed his eyes: "Then I'll have to rely on you!"

  "Hey, I'm a pacifist, I don't fight!"

  "Hmph! If I were to encounter a strong opponent, I wouldn't believe you'd remain idle!"

  "I won't lay a hand on you!"

  "Awesome!"

  Kirov airship continued to sail, the days on the airship were simple and dull, except for the little cat and the small ball playing happily together. Li Xie even regretted not bringing a few more people, at least to let them return to Mount Wuzhou, so that along the way there would be some fun, such as playing mahjong or cards.

  However, Li Xie was in a good mood, mainly because he had finally slimmed down and his younger brother had grown much taller. This alone was enough to make Li Xie happy for a long time. After all, men are like that, everyone understands.

  "Halt! Don't run! Surround him!"

  A loud shout came, Li Xie looked up to locate the source of the sound, and saw a person flapping their wings flying quickly towards his airship, with nearly a hundred magical beasts following closely behind.

  Those magical creatures have a wingspan of about 10 meters, their body is about 3 meters long, shaped like a bat, but covered in brown fur, with a tail that's also 3 meters long and ends in an arrow-like keratinized tip.

  This is the Seventh Rank Magical Beast: Inferno Wyvern!

  On top of the blazing giant bat, some people with strange appearances were riding.

  These people have wolf-like heads and dog-like heads, two meters tall, with golden fur all over their bodies, they are the Dog Head Tribe of the Beast Clan.

  So this team is one of the super troops of the beast tribe - the giant bat knight team.

  "Father, why should I be so unlucky?!" Li Xie felt extremely depressed. He hadn't provoked the beast tribe, yet now he was about to invite disaster due to that person being chased, who was flying straight towards Li Xie's Kyroft airship!

  Li Ye hastily ran to the bow of the boat and shouted loudly: "Those in front, please, can you take a detour?"

  That man saw Li Xie and his face showed a few points of excitement. He shouted loudly: "I didn't think so, taking a detour will get us caught."

  "Whoa!"

  Li Xie was speechless, as the man directly flew onto the Kirov airship. It seemed like there was no escape, so he pinned his hopes on the Kirov airship. After all, anyone who dared to ride a Kirov airship in beast territory must be from the human tribe and have extraordinary abilities. Moreover, they probably wouldn't abandon him to die.

  At this time, Li Xie finally saw clearly the person who came to his airship. He was handsome and elegant, with a noble aura between his eyebrows, and must be a member of the human nobility. The most striking thing was that he had a pink mole on his forehead, which added to his mysterious atmosphere. Looking at him again, he wore a black armor like charcoal, with red gloves and iron shoes, holding a shining silver long sword in his hand, and behind him was a pair of black metal wings.

  This person's attire should be a result of his contracted beast armorizing, although Li Xie couldn't tell what kind of contracted beast it was. However, this person's speed could rival that of the flame giant bat, which excelled at flight. His contracted beast wasn't eighth-tier, but ninth-tier.

  Of course, Li Ye didn't care about the man's abilities and just wanted to get rid of this trouble, especially since there were over a hundred giant bat knights surrounding them now.

  The leader of the Giant Bat Knights is a beastman with a more ferocious dog head than the one beside him, and he rides not a Flame Giant Bat but a Frosty Snow Owl.

  Entirely snow-white, with a wingspan of up to 20 meters, it has a beak like crystal and frosty claws that make the Frost Snow Eagle easily recognizable. And the Frost Snow Eagle is a ninth-tier magical beast!

  "Who are you?" The dog-headed man riding the Frost Snow Sculpture shouted, holding a wolf-toothed club in his hand, pointing at Li Xie and asking.

  He didn't dare to attack immediately, for the same reason as the person who ran onto Li Ye's airship. They both thought that the people on the airship were not ordinary and were afraid of provoking a powerful enemy by acting rashly.

  Li Xie cupped his hands and said loudly: "I am Li Xie, the Grand Duke of Tudor Dynasty. I came here at the invitation of Dragon Emperor to go to Mount Buzhou. I don't want to cause any trouble, so please make way for me."

  As he spoke, Li Xie turned his head to look at the uninvited guest: "You'd better leave too, you can still escape if you hurry, don't drag me down with you."

  That man looked bitter, and hastily said: "Do you think I can still escape? You won't just watch me get caught by the beast tribe, will you? As fellow humans, we should unite against a common enemy. Please lend me a hand and save my life, I'll be eternally grateful."

  "Thanks a lot?" Li Xie glanced at the dog-headed man, focusing his mind on his blood energy, estimating that the opponent was about a 9th-level summoner, not enough to threaten Li Xie's life. He smiled and said: "Let's see what you can bring out. If they attack, I'm afraid this airship won't be saved."

  Kirov airship, five million gold coins. Li Xie said with a hint of disdain, unless you can offer several times the value of the Kirov airship as compensation, otherwise, Li Xie wouldn't mind throwing this unwelcome guest off the airship himself.

  As for the so-called kinship, that's nonsense! Since everyone is of the same human race, why doesn't this person take into account their shared humanity and fly around? Why do they have to run onto Li Xie's airship and drag Li Xie down with them? If Li Xie didn't have the ability to deal with these beastly tribes, wouldn't that mean they'd be dragged down together?

  So, Li Xie had no good feelings towards this person at all. Of course, if the pay was attractive to Li Xie, then that would be a different story.

  "What are you muttering about!" The dog-headed man shouted loudly, but he still didn't dare to make a move. He had already observed that Li Xie's body didn't have any magical aura fluctuations, however, to dare fly in the beast tribe's airspace without some real ability was impossible. So, the dog-headed man determined that Li Xie and the fat lump beside him, whom he also couldn't see any magical aura fluctuations from, were both more powerful experts than him. Naturally, he didn't dare act rashly, shouting: "No matter what your abilities are, you should be clear that this is the beast tribe's territory! Hand over the person, and everyone will live in peace, otherwise, you'll be in big trouble!"

  Li Xie smiled and cupped his hands, saying: "Please wait a moment, I'll have a few words with him. If we can't come to an agreement, I'll personally throw him out to you!"

  "Speak up, what's the reward? Better make it something that'll move me, or else you're going to regret bringing so much trouble onto my flying boat. I don't need those beastmen to take care of you, I can handle you myself. And no empty checks either, I want cash!"

  "That person smiled wryly and said, 'Do you think I would carry tens of millions of gold coins on me? To be honest with you, I am also a Doudou person. As long as I return to Doudou, I will definitely offer one hundred million gold coins as compensation.'"

  "One hundred million?" Li Xie loved money, and even sacrificed the Kirov airship for this one hundred million. But could this person be trusted? How many people in the Tudor dynasty could afford to take out one hundred million? Was he just trying to get close, pretending to be a Tudor? Moreover, even if it was true, Li Xie would have to run back to Tudor to get the money, and worry about this person running away with it, and fly to Not Weekly Mountain himself!

  All sorts of troubles added up, it's less than 10 billion, Li Xie is impossible to save this guy!

  "Are you going down yourself, or do I throw you down?" Li Xie didn't have the heart to continue discussing the reward. This guy had only offered a paltry 100 million gold coins, yet he was causing Li Xie so much trouble, which proved that he wasn't sincere at all.

  "Five hundred million!" he said again.

  "I said it has to be ready-made! Everyone be straightforward, or do I have to take action myself?" Li's eyebrow raised, his eyes not as gentle.

  That person hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "I have Starlight Ice Crystal! You save me, the Starlight Ice Crystal is yours!"

  Starry Ice Crystal?

  What's this thing again?

  Li Xie narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Why are you being chased by them? I'm guessing, did you find an ancient relic on the Beast Clan's territory?"

  Stardust ice crystal is probably only found in ancient ruins, of course, it's also possible that this person stole something from the beast tribe, or something else, anyway, Li Xie guessed one by one, and looked at his reaction!

  But as soon as he mentioned the ancient ruins, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. Li Xie knew that he had guessed correctly!

  This person found an ancient ruin in the beast tribe's territory, took something from the ruin, and was discovered by this group of dog-headed people.

  "Everything in the ruins, except for the Star Crystal, I want to choose too. First, take out the Space Ring!" The Star Crystal is currently of no use to Li Xie, but if he could utilize it to become a god, then its value would be immeasurable by any amount of money.

  Even if it can't be made into a divine object, the value of a Star Crystal is not something that can be bought with 1 billion gold coins. Even demigods covet such things, and it's likely to cost at least 10 billion! In that case, saving his life would be absolutely worth it! But, if we can extort more, why not?

  That person heard Li Ye wanting a space ring and was immediately stunned!

  His plan was to throw out the Star Crystal and let Li Xie save him, then he would escape when the time was right, definitely not taking out the Star Crystal. But unexpectedly, Li Xie wanted to take things first, then rescue people. Is this kind of person really without any sense of justice?

  "What? You don't agree? I'll count to three, if you don't respond, I'll throw you to the beast tribe!" Li Xie sneered coldly. Although he didn't know what this person was thinking, but since this person mentioned the Starlight Ice Crystal, whether Li Xie saved him or not, he had to snatch his spatial ring.

  Forget about Li Xie having no integrity, from the moment that person dragged him into the water, Li Xie didn't plan on discussing integrity with him anymore!
