Chapter 405: Exchange
In the sky, Xu Fan lounged comfortably on a white cloud, occasionally glancing down.
In a large training ground on Satellite Island, a group of Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkeys, under the direction of the pangolin, was mentally tormenting the Four Beast Clans below.
“The human race’s rules have lasted one hundred and eight days; we must find a way to drill this into these beasts’ heads today.”
“Once they leave Hidden Spirit Island, they should treat any human they see like they’re facing their ancestors,” the pangolin instructed the surrounding Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkeys.
Xu Fan, lying on the white cloud, chuckled and said, “You sound a bit like a pyramid scheme leader.”
If one didn’t pay attention to his appearance, the pangolin could easily be mistaken for a big shot in a northern pyramid scheme.
“Should we capture some beasts to train under the pangolin’s guidance?” Xu Fan pondered, envisioning a personal beast army under Hidden Spirit Sect in the future.
“Grape~” Xu Fan suddenly called out.
“I’m here~”
“Have Steel Wall try to capture members of small beast clans besides the Four Beast Clans and send them to Satellite Island,” Xu Fan instructed.
“How many?” Grape asked.
“Let’s start with a million,” Xu Fan replied after a moment of thought, planning to gather more later if the results were good.
Xu Fan’s intention was inspired by the Iron Mischief Monkey’s attitude towards humans; those little races in the demon race were essentially the targets of oppression from the major clans.
Since that was the case, why not let humans do the oppressing? Although the effects would be the same, his modernized methods of enslavement would surely be more comfortable than those in the beast race.
As this thought emerged, Xu Fan suddenly considered whether to send some little demons into the demon race to spread certain ideas and create some commotion.
Then Xu Fan shook his head, deciding to address the immediate issues first.
At that moment, a message from Spirit Cut came in; the Four Beast Clans indeed intended to use humans with spirit roots as leverage to exchange for their master craftsmen.
“The good show has begun,” Xu Fan remarked.
Xu Fan’s figure appeared above Satellite Island as the doors of the Daoist artifact palace opened.
“Have those beast clans return to their positions,” Xu Fan ordered the pangolin.
“Understood.”
In less than three breaths, over a thousand members of the Four Beast Clans entered the Daoist artifact palace, causing Xu Fan to marvel at how effective the training had been over the past few days.
Before long, the Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkeys appeared above the Steel Wall, handing over the Daoist artifact palace to Spirit Cut.
At this moment, the silhouettes of the Four Beast Kings had already appeared outside the Steel Wall.
“Human race elder, come out!” a voice, cold to the extreme, echoed over the Steel Wall.
A blood sea spanning the sky emerged, revealing the large and fierce face of Spirit Cut above it.
“Speak; what’s the matter?” Respected Elder Spirit Cut said coldly.
Suddenly, about ten thousand humans appeared outside the Steel Wall, all young men and women under the age of twenty-four.
“I have more than thirty million ordinary humans, all with spirit roots, aged twenty-four or less.”
“If you want to redeem these thirty million humans, exchange them for my beast clans’ four master craftsmen.”
“Otherwise.”
As soon as Frost Wolf Beast King finished speaking, he directly struck at the ten thousand youths outside the Steel Wall.
Spirit Cut was about to take action, but the other three beast kings blocked him.
‘Boom~’
The cultivators and puppets on the Steel Wall couldn’t bear to watch this scene.
A pool of blood and flesh appeared outside the Steel Wall and began to spread around.
“Otherwise, they will all end up like this,” Frost Wolf Beast King said.
Seeing this, Spirit Cut retrieved two Nascent Soul Stage frost wolves from the Daoist artifact palace.
“Little pups, do you recognize these two little ones?” Spirit Cut grinned, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.
He had practiced demonic cultivation his whole life and, despite being on the path of Blood Spirit, had never killed an ordinary human. He was even a guardian of the order in the mundane world of the Demon Continent, and he despised demonic cultivators for harming innocent people.
Now, witnessing so many ordinary lives lost before him, he suddenly felt a surge of madness.
“How can our clan’s genius be in your hands?” Frost Wolf Beast King exclaimed in shock.
“That’s not quite right. One is a genius from your wolf clan, and the other is your little son,” Spirit Cut retorted, bloodthirsty.
The blood sea suddenly transformed into a large hand, grabbing the Nascent Soul frost wolf and tossing it into the face made of blood.
The huge face began to chew in front of the four beast kings, and a desperate scream accompanied the sound of crunching bones, which was extremely unsettling.
“You’ve made a bargain; ten thousand humans for your little son,” Spirit Cut said with a smile at the shadow of Frost Wolf Beast King.
“You’re not afraid that I will kill all thirty million humans with spirit roots?” Frost Wolf Beast King glared at Spirit Cut, struggling to contain his rage.
“You can give it a try,” Spirit Cut waved his hand, trapping over a thousand young talents of the Four Beast Clans and those closely related to the beast kings in the blood sea.
“Father~~”
“Dad~~~”
“Great King~~”
“Husband~~”
“Uncle~~”
Various calls echoed, and at this moment, the four beast kings lost their composure, urgently transmitting messages to their territories within the clan.
Before long, the faces of the four beast kings turned dark.
“Human race elder, good tactics,” Moon Fox Beast King said with a grim expression, feeling both anger and helplessness.
At that moment, the other two human race elders also appeared beside Spirit Cut, glaring with displeasure at the pool of blood outside the Steel Wall.
“Human race elder, thirty million humans with spirit roots for the beast clans and master craftsmen you hold.”
“Otherwise, all thirty million will die,” Frost Wolf Beast King said coldly.
“Ha ha, are you negotiating with me?”
“Do you think I care about those thirty million humans? I’m a demonic cultivator; you can kill them at will, I don’t care,” Spirit Cut said with a demonic air.
“If it weren’t for the task given to me, all these treasures of your beast clans would perish.”
“One condition: trade these young beast talents for those thirty million humans. If you disagree, feel free to kill; I won’t mind,” Spirit Cut said indifferently.
“You human race elders, don’t you want these thirty million with spirit roots?” At that moment, Moon Fox Beast King spoke up.
“You can kill those thirty million humans. Even if you lose your four clan geniuses, it’d still be worth it,” Respected Elder Hu Xiao said, an old hand who had lived for thousands of years and understood the situation clearly.
Even if they couldn’t reach an agreement today, those thirty million people would not die.
“Ha ha, this is how ruthless your human elders are, even more so than our beast race,” Moon Fox Beast King remarked, looking at her trapped daughters in the blood sea, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
“Here are the terms: if you say you won’t trade, I’ll directly chew up these young beast talents.”
“The taste of those two a moment ago was quite good,” the massive face of Spirit Cut in the blood sea said.
Three more frost wolves were grabbed by the blood sea’s hand and brought to the huge face, as it seemed intent on tasting a few more.
