Chapter 498 Do You Think I’M Bluffing?
Chapter 498: Do I Look Like I'm Bluffing?
After escaping from the big pit, Hong Li and Ao Long could only flee in the opposite direction. Along the way, they encountered only a few minor crises. It wasn't until they reached the big pit that Ao Long and Hong Li discovered that it was a treasure trove.
Just a few steps away, they could see precious medicinal herbs, all related to the Dragon Race. Dragons were treasures themselves, and anything touched by their dragon energy could also become a treasure. For example, Dragon Saliva Grass grew from the dragon's bodily fluids, Dragon Bone Mushroom grew on dragon corpses, and Dragon Gold Wood... well, it grew on dragon dung.
Among all the treasures related to dragons, those related to dragon blood were the best. Blood was the most spiritual, and any creature that obtained dragon blood would also possess spirituality. Along the way, Ao Long and Hong Li had picked up quite a few treasures, storing them in their storage rings. However, a large Red Blood Dragon Vine like this was still quite rare.
The vine was as thick as a water bucket and even looked like a real red dragon. Although Ao Long and Hong Li already possessed the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon, the highest level of dragon blood, this treasure containing the essence of dragon blood was still a great supplement for them.
"Let's split this Red Blood Dragon Vine in half!" Hong Li suggested.
Hong Li had no intention of competing with Ao Long. Previously, they had explored together, each picking up what they found. But the aura of this Red Blood Dragon Vine was obvious, indicating that they had discovered it together. Moreover, this item was quite valuable, and if one person monopolized it, the other would definitely feel unhappy.
Although Hong Li felt a bit inflated and was dissatisfied with Ao Long's unwillingness to seek revenge against Zhang Chi, she had no intention of becoming enemies with Ao Long. Regardless of anything, Ao Long had agreed to accompany her on the sea journey, and she had always remembered this friendship. As for the incident where Ao Long had sold her to Zhang Chi, she had let go of any grudges.
No matter how big the previous grievances were, after experiencing several life-and-death struggles together, those grievances naturally dissipated. As long as the genders were the same, Hong Li's attitude remained friendly.
Female demons helping female demons!
Ao Long could also sense the goodwill emanating from Hong Li. To be honest, she used to look down on Hong Li because she sensed that Hong Li had ulterior motives regarding her younger brother. But after experiencing so much, she could understand that as a wandering and ambitious little Monster King, burdened with the responsibility of making the River Monster rise, it was normal for Hong Li to use Ao Yue.
In the end, Ao Long had never really harmed Ao Yue. Now that Hong Li was willing to show goodwill towards her, she also let go of past grievances. To be honest, this demon Hong Li was quite capable!
"Let's do it together, each taking half!" Ao Long readily agreed to Hong Li's proposal. In their eyes, the Red Blood Dragon Vine was within their grasp.
Meanwhile, Zhang Chi, lurking in the shadows, became completely alert. Fortunately, he had been cautious and hidden himself after discovering the Red Blood Dragon Vine. Now, he didn't dare to make a move.
There's a saying that goes, "The road of enemies is narrow," and it was truly not a lie. Hong Li and Ao Long, they were truly enemies!
The only two major female servants had unexpectedly appeared right beside him.
This was truly the worst situation. His teammates were not around, and the boss had come straight to his face.
If his luck had been a little worse and he had encountered Hong Li and Ao Long while trying to subdue the Red Blood Dragon Vine, he would probably have been defeated amidst laughter and cheers.
There was still a glimmer of hope now, and that was for the two of them not to discover Zhang Chi's presence.
Zhang Chi had learned a bit of the Demon Race's concealment techniques from Gu Youyou. Now, he held his breath and entered a state of stillness, his heartbeat almost stopping.
Well, half of it was due to fear.
The only thing still running at full speed was Zhang Chi's brain.
He should be able to confirm it now. Hong Li and Ao Long probably took advantage of his absence and discovered something extraordinary, which is this Secret Realm related to the Dragon Race.
It is precisely because they opened the Secret Realm that they attracted him to enter as well.
Hong Li and Ao Long must have obtained some opportunities first and broke Gu Youyou's magic seal.
Zhang Chi still doesn't know that Hong Li has also broken through to become a Monster Sovereign. He still treats Hong Li as a Monster King, but even if Hong Li is a Monster Sovereign, he cannot defeat him.
How can a mere Divine Soul cultivator dare to challenge two Monster Sovereigns?
If he had a slightly faster heartbeat, it would be disrespectful to the two Monster Sovereigns.
At this moment, he dare not move, even though it seems that the two Monster Sovereigns have not noticed him.
Fortunately, he is a diligent learner and doesn't let Gu Youyou do everything for him. It's a good thing he learned this life-saving technique.
Zhang Chi doesn't care about the treasure, the Crimson Blood Dragon Vine, anymore. You two sisters, hurry up and eat, and then leave. I'm really anxious!
Zhang Chi doesn't know if his prayers have worked, but he hears Ao Long and Hong Li easily solve the Crimson Blood Dragon Vine.
The Crimson Blood Dragon Vine has intelligence. Such a large Crimson Blood Dragon Vine could probably compete with a Divine Ability cultivator, but it was killed in an instant by Ao Long and Hong Li. Their strength has become stronger again!
This is not good news for Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi doesn't dare to look at them. Their mental power is strong, and even if Zhang Chi hides his breath carefully, they might still sense his gaze.
Only by focusing on Essence Stabilization and preserving his hearing can he ensure his safety to the greatest extent.
Therefore, Zhang Chi doesn't know that the Crimson Blood Dragon Vine didn't resist at all.
There is a bloodline connection and suppression among the same race.
Hong Li and Ao Long both have the highest level of Dragon Ancestral Bloodline. How could a Spirit Medicine that can only grow by bathing in dragon blood dare to be arrogant in front of the Dragon Ancestors?
That Crimson Blood Dragon Vine is like an ordinary plant, allowing the two of them to divide it into two halves and eat it without any resistance throughout the process.
Such a good treasure should be consumed on the spot after being cut open to prevent the loss of its medicinal effects.
The two of them directly compressed the Crimson Blood Dragon Vine to the size of a radish and ate it with a crunching sound.
The taste sounds very crispy.
After they finished eating the treasure, they should leave, right?
Zhang Chi hears that they are still making noise and continues to wait patiently.
Unexpectedly, after Hong Li finished eating the Crimson Blood Dragon Vine, her face turned slightly red, and Ao Long had the same symptoms.
"Uh-oh, it seems like we underestimated the age of this treasure."
Ao Long felt the changes in her body and saw Hong Li's abnormality, so she naturally knew what the problem was.
They feel like they're drunk.
Although this Crimson Blood Dragon Vine is not as good as dragon blood, it has survived in this Secret Realm for who knows how many years. It seems to have a cultivation of ten thousand years. But during these years, who knows how many Spirit Beasts from the Secret Realm it has consumed.
In this Secret Realm, there must be Spirit Beasts with true dragon bloodlines. When these Spirit Beasts are eaten by the Crimson Blood Dragon Vine, it can enhance the medicinal effects of the vine.
In short, they both have a feeling of boiling blood now.
Ao Long feels that something is not right. After all, this is still within the Secret Realm. If she is not clear-headed enough, it could be dangerous.
But Hong Li feels differently.
She feels that as long as she undergoes Dragon Transformation, this state will quickly disappear and there is no need to worry.
It's Ao Long who looks beautiful with her flushed cheeks!
Ao Long is a delicate beauty. In the past, she still carried a bit of arrogance and coldness from being born into a prestigious family. After being tossed around by Zhang Chi, she gained a bit of gentleness in her coldness.
"Liangjie, you're so beautiful."
Ao Long heard Hong Li's praise but didn't think much of it. She just didn't understand why Hong Li suddenly said she was beautiful.
"Why are you suddenly saying this?"
"Actually, I have always liked you, but you did something that hurt me deeply. However, that is all in the past now. Currently, we are the same kind, and I like you. Will you be my woman?"
"Ah?"
Ao Long never imagined that one day she would be confessed to by a female fairy.
Her mind was buzzing.
What's even more absurd is that Hong Li said she had liked her before.
Goodness gracious, this is really something.
She is engaged to her brother while plotting to have her, her sister.
There are too many flaws, and Ao Long doesn't know how to comment.
Zhang Chi heard it and couldn't help but think of a phrase.
Scum fish, do you remember the little green lotus that self-destructed in Clear Water Port Town?
Fish and lotus were originally a beautiful pair, but who would have thought that you, this scum fish, are also a Sea King!
So you like fairies, huh!
"Sister Long..."
Taking advantage of Ao Long's distraction, Hong Li took a step forward and was about to give Ao Long a wall slam.
She had already seen through Ao Long's true nature. She may seem cold and aloof, but she is actually easy to handle.
As long as she pins her against the wall and kisses her, she will naturally be won over.
Sure enough, Ao Long was stunned and forgot to resist, and was pinned down on the ground.
Although Zhang Chi didn't look with his eyes, his ears were still sharp, and he could discern what was happening through the sound.
Is this a scene of turning someone gay?
Thinking of this, his heartbeat suddenly became irregular.
"Who is it!"
Ao Long was already in a highly tense state, and her mind was buzzing.
She was very scared.
First, she was afraid of other enemies in the Secret Realm. After all, this is not a safe area, and their conditions are not good, which is very dangerous.
Second, she was afraid of Hong Li.
Yes, after being confessed to by Hong Li, Ao Long was not shocked because she was shy, but because she was scared.
It's like you and your good buddy, usually playing together, taking baths together and all. Suddenly one day, he gets drunk and confesses to you, wanting to get close to you. You would be scared, right?
In a highly nervous state, with Ao Long's strong mental power, even the slightest movement can trigger her stress response.
So, because Zhang Chi imagined some stimulating scenes, his heartbeat became irregular, and Ao Long noticed it.
Ao Long also seemed to regain her intelligence, and with a swift dragon-like movement, she broke free from Hong Li's restraint.
Seeing that she was about to succeed, unexpectedly, it was all in vain. Hong Li's anger naturally turned towards this person hiding in the dark.
"Die!"
Hong Li directly released a blast of icy breath towards Zhang Chi's direction.
After hearing Ao Long's voice, Zhang Chi knew he couldn't hide anymore and quickly moved to another place, successfully avoiding the attack.
However, the situation that followed made Zhang Chi's scalp tingle.
If the two bosses were separated, he could still deceive them, but now that they are together, how can he play?
Damn brain, why are you thinking such dirty thoughts!
Zhang Chi was at a loss.
He knew he couldn't win, and it was unlikely that he could outrun them either. He could only try to argue his way out and hold on until his allies came to rescue him.
At this point, it's highly probable that he won't be able to find his teammates.
"Long time no see."
Zhang Chi maintained his elegant demeanor.
At a time like this, he had to be as handsome as possible, after all, he could only rely on his looks to survive.
Of course, there was also the tactic of bluffing.
When Hong Li saw Zhang Chi, she was stunned.
Good, good, good!
She was planning to cause trouble for Zhang Chi, but she didn't expect him to come to her doorstep.
Hong Li's smile twisted, and seeing her like this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but know that this enchantress probably hated him to the bone.
If he had known earlier, he should have eaten the fish.
It was a bad decision to be softhearted, and now it was too late to regret.
"I was planning to leave the Secret Realm before coming to find trouble with you. I didn't expect you to appear in front of me like this. It seems that we are destined to cross paths again!"
Seeing this, Zhang Chi smiled slightly, neither showing disdain nor mockery, just calmly saying, "It seems that during this time apart, you have gained some good opportunities, making you think that you can challenge me!"
Naturally, Zhang Chi was just bluffing with his words.
Hong Li was unaware that Gu Youyou was no longer around.
Zhang Chi was betting that Hong Li had been traumatized by Gu Youyou's attack.
Sure enough, when Hong Li saw that Zhang Chi wasn't bluffing, she became fearful.
The scene where Gu Youyou controlled Zhang Chi's body and fought against Long Yi had left a deep impression on Hong Li.
She was still just a Monster Sovereign, how could she be a match for Gu Youyou?
But Hong Li quickly realized that Zhang Chi probably didn't want Gu Youyou to possess him. Otherwise, why would he hide instead of taking the Crimson Blood Dragon Vine?
"Hahaha, Zhang Chi, stop bluffing. Something happened to your Demon Race, right? Otherwise, how could you resist the temptation of the Crimson Blood Dragon Vine?"
Hong Li was smart, but Zhang Chi's mind worked even faster.
"My body can't withstand the power of the Crimson Blood Dragon Vine, so I can only use a milder method of medication. Hong Li, you understand."
Hong Li understood instantly, not only did she understand, but her body also reflexively reacted.
At this moment, she felt her legs go weak and a tingling sensation in her calves.
Zhang Chi hadn't even touched her, but she felt as if she had been touched.
"Don't even think about it. I am no longer under your control! Even if I die, I will never be your servant, allowing you to bully me."
Hong Li declared fiercely, and her right hand began to transform into a dragon.
However, Zhang Chi saw through her facade and knew that she was definitely terrified.
The more ferocious she acted, the more calm Zhang Chi became.
"It seems that the opportunities you have gained are truly extraordinary, so you think you can resist me. So, Ao Long, what is your choice?"
Zhang Chi spoke indifferently to Ao Long, giving off a sense of confidence.
He didn't even care if the two of them attacked him together.
At this moment, both of them thought of the fear of being controlled by Gu Youyou.
Zhang Chi didn't even need to make threats, but Ao Long and Hong Li understood.
If they didn't obey this time, there would be no way out for them...
