Chapter 261 The Fish Is Dead And The Net Is Broken, Let’S Leave Tonight
Chapter 261: The Fish Dies, the Net Breaks, Leave Tonight
Ao Long didn't have much experience with scheming and plotting against others. She felt that although there were some grievances between her and Hong Li, they now had a common enemy and should unite against external threats.
Besides, she also planned to offer generous rewards.
"As long as you can help me deliver a message to my father, informing him of my situation, I can open the treasure vault of the Sea Sovereign Palace to you. You can choose any treasures you want inside," she said.
"Oh?" Hong Li was indeed tempted.
Under the sea, countless treasures were born, and materials rarely seen on land were not considered rare in the ocean.
In addition to the abundant resources of the ocean, many treasures had been lost to the depths of the sea over countless years.
Therefore, the Sea Monsters who controlled the ocean were much wealthier than humans on land.
The Sea Sovereign Palace was even wealthier among the wealthy. If such a treasure vault were open for anyone to take, she estimated that she would be dazzled by the choices inside.
However, as Hong Li calmed down, she thought of a better option.
She couldn't stay here for long, but there was no need to help deliver the message. Instead, she could do the opposite and instigate a war between the two races.
When they were engaged in a heated battle, she could sneak into the treasure vault of the Black Emperor's Palace and, with her ability to move freely, nothing could stop her.
As the one who instigated the war, the Black Emperor would definitely not have a good ending afterwards, and Dragon River's territory would be devastated by the Sea Monsters again, with little resistance.
She still had a chance to make a comeback!
The more Hong Li thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and her ambition grew.
At this moment, she pretended to be convinced by Ao Long's words and said with a hesitant tone, "I also want to help you, but my losses in the past few days have been too great. I'm afraid I won't be able to recover in a short time."
This was a ploy to gain benefits.
Ao Long thought that as the princess of the Sea Sovereign Palace, Hong Li must have many treasures on her. If she could deceive her into giving away one or two life-saving items, it would be a great gain.
Ao Long didn't expect Hong Li to dare to deceive her, and now she started to seriously consider it.
After a long time, she made up her mind and said, "Perhaps my blood can help you recover quickly."
The Dragon Whiskered Octopus also possessed the bloodline of a true dragon.
But the true dragon bloodline was extremely important. If it was extracted and given to others, one's own bloodline would become diluted, and the speed of cultivation in the future might be significantly slower.
In severe cases, it could even damage the foundation.
However, in order to prevent a war between the two races and save her father's life, Ao Long gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
She inserted one of her tentacles into Hong Li's mouth and forced out the essence of the true dragon blood.
Hong Li tasted the sweetness in her mouth and couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
Originally, she just wanted to deceive some benefits from Ao Long, but she didn't expect Ao Long to be so willing to give away the dragon blood.
As fellow dragons, Hong Li naturally knew how precious true dragon blood was.
Although true dragon blood could be restored, it was very difficult to cultivate.
When Zhang Chi took away a little bit of true dragon blood from her before, it took her a year or more to recover.
Now, Ao Long gave her more blood than she had lost before. With Ao Long's blood, her cultivation could advance further, and the Heart Tree that couldn't be fully nourished before could also sprout a new branch.
"The power of the blood of a different species of dragon is very violent, but you only need to adjust for a day to digest my power. I hope you can act as soon as possible," Ao Long said after forcing out the dragon blood. She felt a bit weak, but still reminded Hong Li.
Having gained benefits, Hong Li naturally agreed readily with her mouth, but in her heart, she planned to tell Zhang Chi about this matter and let Zhang Chi punish Ao Long severely.
Thinking about how proud Ao Long was in the past and how she had now become a prisoner, she was still so arrogant.
If she fell into Zhang Chi's hands...
Hehehe...
Ao Long returned to her fish tank in a dejected manner. She was already injured, and now she had lost a large amount of vital blood. If she weren't the Monster Sovereign, she wouldn't be able to bear it. Her cultivation level would have to drop.
Ao Long fell into a deep sleep like this. She estimated that when she woke up, Hong Li should have finished everything.
However, Hong Li truly lived up to being a despicable person.
After obtaining Ao Long's vital blood, she replenished all the blood she had lost. Although she couldn't immediately return to her previous level of strength, she could still use her Divine Ability normally.
And the power of this blood had not been completely digested; she temporarily stored it.
So, Hong Li decided to run away.
She didn't expect to recover so quickly herself, and she believed that Zhang Chi wouldn't have expected it either.
If she didn't leave now, when would she?
"I will definitely come back, Madam!"
Hong Li secretly made a vow, while also carving some words in the soil next to the fish tank, stating what Ao Long wanted to do.
She left, still planning to betray Ao Long.
This could also be considered as doing Zhang Chi a favor. If she ran away, he wouldn't have a reason to pursue her anymore. The past grievances would be settled.
After finishing writing, Hong Li found that there was no one around. She directly used her Traveling Ability.
The Traveling Ability required flowing water to be used, which meant it couldn't be used in the fish tank. But conveniently, there was a well nearby. Hong Li jumped into it, and at that moment, her heart soared.
"I'm about to escape from this predicament!"
Hong Li was overjoyed, but at this moment, golden barriers appeared out of thin air, blocking her. At the same time, nets swiftly enveloped her.
She was caught off guard and immediately got entangled.
Hong Li couldn't help but curse. Who was so despicable as to set up a formation in an ordinary well?
Hong Li was infuriated. She thought that with her Traveling Ability, she would be able to escape quickly, but she didn't expect to walk right into a trap.
Not long after, Zhang Chi walked out of the house.
At this moment, Gu Youyou was still controlling Zhang Chi's body.
She glanced at Hong Li, her face full of gloom.
She had lost the bet again.
The formation and curse in the well were set up by her. They were of high rank and enough to stop the Monster King.
Because of this, the materials consumed were also expensive. She had disagreed with it at first and made a bet with Zhang Chi.
If this Heaven's Net could catch the fish, Zhang Chi would win, and Gu Youyou would have to agree to one of Zhang Chi's conditions.
If this thing didn't work, even if Zhang Chi lost, he would have to fulfill one of Gu Youyou's conditions.
Obviously, Zhang Chi had won now.
Gu Youyou was speechless.
With Gu Youyou's current strength, it was impossible for her to catch Hong Li without causing a commotion.
But unfortunately, Hong Li jumped into the well where the Heaven's Net had long been prepared.
Are you trying to imitate me?
Today, Gu Youyou's mind wasn't focused on Hong Li. It was like she had given her a chance, but in the end, Hong Li still couldn't escape...
"Ah, such a strong dragon blood aura..."
PS: My younger sister's college entrance exam results came out today, and they weren't ideal. My wife comforted her all afternoon, so I couldn't write at all in the afternoon... But the child was feeling sad, so I could only play with the fish for the whole afternoon. I really didn't do it on purpose.
