I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

"No, big brother, do we really have to help this kid?"

"We are the demon race, but we are helping the human race?"

"The demon race and the human race have always had a blood feud. The ancestors of the tribe would kill any human cultivators they met. Now, we are cooperating with this human kid. Isn't this... not good?"

"This is different from what we agreed on, brother!"

"..."

As soon as Big Bear made his decision and before Gu Xiu could say anything, the other four bear monsters nearby could no longer sit still.

They all sent messages to Big Bear, trying to stop his crazy behavior.

Yes, crazy.

The demon race and the human race are inherent enemies. In the past, they would fight to the death when they met. Although this time, because the secret realm of the four sacred beasts was opened, the academy compromised and allowed the demon race to enter. Both parties also agreed not to rashly attack the alien race, otherwise those who did so would be severely punished.

but……

This was the agreement, but in reality, they all knew that they were still enemies. If given the chance, they would definitely fight to the death. It was for this reason that they relied on their physical bodies to extort money from people on the Xuanwu Steps.

But now.

It seems that Xiong Da not only wants to give up extortion, but he even plans to cooperate with this human cultivator. If outsiders knew about this, he would probably be immediately accused of collaborating with the enemy.

It's just a pity...

Facing the dissuasion of his four brothers, Xiong Da simply asked, "So, are we just going to leave these spirit stones lying around and not earn any money?"

As soon as these words came out.

The other four bear monsters immediately shut their mouths.

Spirit stones are very precious.

Whether for human cultivators or for the demon race, spirit stones have always been the foundation of practice. However, due to the remote location of the demon race, spirit stones are extremely rare in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons. Naturally, no one will give up the opportunity to earn spirit stones if given the chance.

It can be said.

They can refuse each other, but there will always be demons who will not refuse such a good thing.

And there seem to be only two choices before them.

Or, reject the proposal of this human monk without hesitation.

Or, reach an agreement secretly, and then take the opportunity to make a fortune!

Obviously, the latter is much more tempting.

"Ever since our War Bear clan's ancestor met with misfortune, our War Bear clan's status in the Myriad Demons Nation has been declining. Not only did we lose our original territory, but even when our younger members were bullied, we couldn't seek justice."

"To put it bluntly, it's because our War Bear Clan no longer has a Demon Emperor."

"They control all the resources, only giving us a little every year. If this continues, our War Bear clan's status will continue to decline until it is wiped out. So, compared to giving up such a good opportunity for the sake of a so-called vendetta, I'm unwilling to do so."

Seeing that the brothers were silent, Xiong Da immediately spoke again:

"With the spirit stone, everything can change."

"As long as we have spirit stones, we can buy all the resources our younger generations need, whether it's spiritual medicine or other things. We can even covet the bloodline of the Demon Emperor. Only then can our War Bear Clan truly have the opportunity to rise again!"

“I thought, seize this opportunity!”

The various sects and factions of the human race and even the various divine dynasties are constantly at war, so the demon race is naturally not much better off. In fact, compared with the human race, the competition among the demon race is even more intense. Although the demon race has formed the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons and often fight against the human race in groups, there is actually no harmony within them, and the competition is even more intense.

after all.

Although the resources of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom are abundant, they are not endless. Even if they belong to the same Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom, it is impossible to really divide them fairly. The most obvious example is the tribes to which the Thirteen Demon Emperors belong. They basically seize more than 60% to 70% of the resources of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom, and the remaining resources are distributed to other tribes.

The War Bear Clan, on the other hand, is in an awkward position.

Their ancestors were once wealthy and had a Demon Emperor, but he died ten thousand years ago. Since then, the status of the War Bear Clan has plummeted. Although they have not become a bystander due to their past achievements, they are still declining uncontrollably.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

At least the bear monsters of the War Bear clan are basically full of anger and hope to restore the glory of their ancestors.

The opportunity is now.

They really would not be willing to give up just like that.

Gu Xiu had naturally noticed the discussion of the five bear monsters a long time ago. Seeing that they seemed to have concluded their discussion, Gu Xiu immediately asked in a low voice, "It seems that you have made a decision?"

"Great!" Xiong Da nodded. "We can help you, but there's a problem."

"what?"

"You humans are the most cunning. How can you make me believe that you really have the ability to take out the spirit stones?" asked Xiong Da.

"It's a small problem." Gu Xiu smiled and waved his sleeves casually.

All of a sudden.

A small hill suddenly appeared in front of everyone. The hill was only about one person tall and not too big, but it exuded extremely abundant spiritual energy and emitted a very unique glow, which made the five bear monsters present couldn't help but breathe rapidly.

Top-grade spirit stone!

This pile is actually full of top-grade spirit stones!

Moreover, all of them are top-grade spirit stones of excellent quality!

Each piece is absolutely extremely precious, and the specific value of these top-grade spirit stones piled up into a mountain is difficult to estimate at first glance.

But sure.

If the War Bear Clan could obtain so many spirit stones, they could almost rely on their resources to produce a lot of strong men. The five bear monsters subconsciously wanted to step forward and stretch out their hands to take all the top-grade spirit stones that were like a small mountain into their pockets.

just.

Just as they were about to move, they saw Gu Xiu wave his sleeves, and the mountain of top-grade spirit stones disappeared in an instant, leaving the five bear monsters feeling somewhat lost. However, Gu Xiu was still smiling:

"Now, you will no longer doubt Guan Mou's strength, right?"

The five bear monsters shook their heads subconsciously, but their eyes were more or less red when they looked at Gu Xiu. This man could take out so many spirit stones at will, so did he have more spirit stones and more treasures?

If I kill him...

If I take all his treasures for myself...

Even if it is enough to make the whole family prosperous!

Gu Xiu naturally noticed these greedy things, but he did not react at all. He just continued to smile and examine the five bear monsters in front of him.

He has plenty of spirit stones.

Also willing to spend spirit stones to achieve the goal.

But the premise is.

Those who want to earn his spirit stones must be suitable. Being greedy is a good thing, but if they are really blinded by greed, not only will they not be able to take away any spirit stones from him, they may even lose their lives in the end.

Fortunately.

At the critical moment, it was Big Bear who came to his senses first: "Now that the agreement has been reached, my Fighting Bear Clan will do its utmost to help you collect Bloodline Beads. As a token of my sincerity, I would like to give you ten types of Bloodline Beads."

As he spoke, Xiong Da turned his wrist and a pile of blood beads immediately fell in front of Gu Xiu.

See this thing.

Gu Xiu's eyes lit up and he naturally would not refuse. He took them all and then handed the spirit stones to the other party on the spot at the price of 30,000 spirit stones each.

Money and goods are settled!

Holding the spirit stone, Xiong Da's heartbeat began to accelerate, pounding non-stop. However, seeing Gu Xiu's bright eyes, he couldn't help but wonder:

"What does Brother Guan need so many bloodline beads for?"

Gu Xiu raised an eyebrow, and Xiong Da quickly added, "I have no intention of prying into your affairs, little brother Guan, but I must tell you in advance that while the Bloodline Beads are somewhat useful, they are not very effective, and you cannot use multiple Bloodline Beads at the same time. If you plan to use all of them on yourself, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

obviously.

It felt that Gu Xiu was probably trying to take advantage of an opportunity and use dozens or even hundreds of blood beads at once, hoping to suddenly gain the blessing of the blood of all demons, so it gave such a reminder.

"I do have other uses for these blood beads, but as to what they are used for, I don't think it's something Brother Xiong should consider." Gu Xiu replied.

Having said that, even though Xiong Da was curious, he didn't care too much about it. He even thought that this kid might have some wishful thinking about the Blood Bead. Blood Beads were not that rare among the demon race. Even good friends might give each other Blood Beads. It could be said that the function of this thing had been thoroughly studied by their demon race a long time ago.

He didn't believe that Gu Xiu could do anything special with this blood bead.

"We've reached the 40,000th floor!"

"Hey, what happened there? It seems like someone is fighting?"

"so many people!"

After walking forward for a while, Xiong Da and his group suddenly spoke in surprise. Gu Xiu also looked up and saw that there were about ten stone steps in front of him. The wooden house symbolizing the 40,000 stone steps was already in sight.

but.

Unlike the relatively peaceful wooden house on the 30,000th floor, this wooden house was obviously more lively. At first glance, there were shadowy figures, and there was also faint flashes of spiritual energy and precious light.

"Damn, it looks like the Golden Wing Clan!" Big Bear frowned, his face looking a little serious, and the other bear monsters also frowned.

Gu Zheng was just wondering, but then he saw Xiong Da looking at him and saying, "Brother Guan, you look so lighthearted. If you don't rest and continue to climb the ladder, is there any problem?"

"Oh? Why?" Gu Xiu was curious.

"If I'm not mistaken, this person should be the young prince of the Golden Winged Clan. He is a very powerful Peng bird, and is considered to have no taboos in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters. He also has an extreme hatred for the human race, or rather, he is very arrogant towards anyone who is not of the Golden Winged Peng clan."

"If he sees you, a human, he will definitely not let it go and might even cause more trouble."

Xiong Da replied, but seeing that Gu Xiu was just looking at him with a smile, Xiong Da hesitated for a moment, then added, "Of course, our War Bear Clan and their Golden Winged Dapeng Clan have had a grudge in the past, so if we meet, he will definitely cause trouble for us."

This is the most important thing.

Now that there is such a great opportunity to earn spirit stones in front of it, it naturally does not want any more complications or problems to arise.

Gu Xiu actually had the same idea, so there was naturally no reason for him to refuse at the moment.

present.

The five bears and one person who had originally planned to rest walked a little to the side, intending to bypass the wooden house used for rest. As for the previous agreement to give Gu Xiu 10,000 floors, they tacitly did not mention it. Not to mention that such a big deal had been negotiated, there was no need to care about that little fee.

More importantly.

Even a fool could see that even without their help, Gu Xiu could still climb up by his own ability. It was truly shameful for him to still have the nerve to ask for spirit stones at this time.

only……

They planned to avoid it, but the mountain path was straight. Even if they wanted to avoid it, they would inevitably have to pass by the stone steps used for rest on the 40,000th floor.

And just right.

Just as they were passing by and about to move forward, a figure with a gleaming light all over his body fell straight in front of them like a flash of lightning.

This golden lightning is extremely sharp.

The moment it landed, it immediately slashed towards Gu Xiu and others.

Fortunately.

Both Gu Xiu and the five bear monsters were quite powerful. Facing the attack of the fierce lightning, although they did not completely ignore it, they still resolved the crisis immediately with their own actions. However, their faces looked a little ugly.

Look up.

Before the golden light and lightning, a handsome figure dressed in brocade clothes, like a nobleman, was looking down at them from above.

"Stop ahead!"

"Anyone who dares to set foot here will be killed without mercy!"
