734: cooperate
In Canglang Valley.
Wang Chen looked at Xuanqing Snake King and pondered slightly.
The purpose of this guy in front of him somewhat coincided with his own.
However, merely helping him bypass the obstruction of Blade City's Guardian Array was not enough to compare with the danger of infiltrating the Treasure Vault.
Cooperation is essentially about mutual benefit; what they were discussing now clearly favored Xuanqing Snake King more.
"I can enter Blade City's Treasure Vault with you, help you get what you need, and even deal with the Dead Spirit Race Strongs of Blade City."
"However, what you are offering is not enough."
Looking at Xuanqing Snake King, Wang Chen said directly.
Hearing Wang Chen's words, Xuanqing Snake King's eyes moved, and a hint of excitement couldn't help but surface in his heart.
He was afraid that this Senior in front of him would directly refuse. Now that the other party said this, it meant that there was hope for cooperation.
"Senior, if you have any requests, please feel free to state them."
"As long as I can fulfill them, I will definitely do my best."
Xuanqing Snake King cupped his hands and said with a solemn expression.
Seeing this, Wang Chen was not polite and directly stated his demands:
"You are the patrol of Demon Beast Forest arranged by Blade City, so you must be very familiar with the Dead Spirit gathering places within the Demon Beast Forest's range."
"I want their locations, and at the same time, you need to help me conceal some movements. Once I am ready, I can go to Blade City with you."
Wang Chen thought very clearly that with Xuanqing Snake King as an insider, his speed of hunting Dead Spirits would definitely become faster, which also meant that his strength would improve faster.
Moreover, with Xuanqing Snake King helping to conceal his tracks and playing along with Blade City, his chances of encountering Dead Spirit Race Strongs would be smaller.
After all, in the current situation, his strength had not fully recovered, and his little ones had not awakened. He was naturally fearless against any eighth-tier, but if a ninth-tier came, it would be troublesome.
"Could Senior be looking to collect the essence blood of the Dead Spirit Race?"
Hearing Wang Chen's words, Xuanqing Snake King couldn't help but be surprised.
He never expected that the request made by this Senior in front of him would be this.
However, Xuanqing Snake King didn't think much of it. The essence blood of the Dead Spirit Race had quite a wide range of uses in the hands of Human Race Strongs and was very beneficial for improving strength.
For example, the artifact that Bai Yuliang, the Saint of Xuantian Holy Land, wanted to refine with the Dead Spirit Race's essence blood was for the purpose of increasing his own strength, allowing him to constantly cleanse his body and remove the influence of Dead Spirit power.
"Hmm?"
"Is there a problem?"
Seeing Xuanqing Snake King's surprised eyes, Wang Chen asked, feigning displeasure.
"No, no, I absolutely have no intention of prying into Senior's thoughts."
Xuanqing Snake King quickly shook his head in denial, saying with a somewhat hurried tone:
"I will absolutely fulfill all of Senior's requests, but currently, in the Demon Beast Forest, people from Xuantian Holy Land are also collecting the essence blood of the Dead Spirit Race and have found me."
"If Senior feels it is inappropriate, I will terminate my cooperation with them as soon as I return."
"Hmm?"
Wang Chen raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, feeling a little surprised.
Are there other people looking for trouble with the Dead Spirit Race?
Isn't this, competing with him for monsters!
And, Xuantian Holy Land.
Wang Chen had naturally heard of this one of the eight major forces of the Netherworld Human Clan.
It was said that there were quite a few ninth-tier Strongs stationed there, and its sphere of influence was precisely the Chu Kingdom outside the Demon Beast Forest and several surrounding countries.
Speaking of which, Wang Chen had also had contact with this Xuantian Holy Land; the Wanbao Pavilion in Green Field Town was backed by Xuantian Holy Land.
"It seems that the essence blood of the Dead Spirit Race still has a significant use, even major forces like Xuantian Holy Land need it."
Pondering in his heart, Wang Chen looked at the uneasy Xuanqing Snake King and finally shook his head:
"I don't care about your cooperation with Xuantian Holy Land, as long as you meet my requirements."
"Also, make your own plans. If the people from Xuantian Holy Land happen to run into me, I won't be polite then."
"If something goes wrong, you probably can't bear the consequences."
Upon hearing this, Xuanqing Snake King quickly patted his chest and guaranteed:
"Senior, rest assured, I will definitely handle things smoothly and absolutely not cause any trouble for Senior."
"This is the distribution map of the Dead Spirit Race's gathering places in the Demon Beast Forest. Please accept it, Senior."
As he spoke, Xuanqing Snake King took out a scroll map and respectfully handed it to Wang Chen.
"That's good."
"I'll take the item. I'll notify you in advance before I make a move."
Wang Chen took the map and glanced at it, finding that the marked gathering places matched the map obtained from Black Fire Town, and it was even more detailed, which made him nod in satisfaction.
"I still have things to do next, so let's part ways here."
After saying a word to Xuanqing Snake King, Wang Chen's figure instantly disappeared into Canglang Valley under the other party's respectful gaze.
...
...
An hour later.
Wang Chen circled around the Demon Beast Forest, observed several Dead Spirit Race gathering places on the map given by Xuanqing Snake King, and then returned to the cave where he had contracted the Dark Titan.
After sealing the cave entrance and setting up the concealment array, Wang Chen took out the energy core obtained from the Howling Moon Azure Wolf.
In an instant, strong energy fluctuations appeared in the cave.
The energy core of the Howling Moon Azure Wolf was its heart, and even now, having left the body, it was still slowly beating.
Wang Chen was not surprised by this.
The energy cores of such powerful existences possessed astonishing vitality. It would take at least several years for them to completely crystallize into energy.
For example, the Blood Clan Prince's blood core he had obtained before was even more terrifying than this Howling Moon Azure Wolf's energy core.
It also contained powerful vitality and "pollution"; if not handled properly, any life below the ninth-tier that touched it could even be corroded and corrupted by its power, transforming into a Blood Clan member.
"The main Materials for the Dark Titan's advancement have been obtained. Next is to prepare the advancement ritual for this little guy."
According to the information obtained, Wang Chen drew a magic array on the ground and placed the Howling Moon Azure Wolf's energy core in the center.
Then, he summoned the Dark Titan from the Beast Pet Space.
"Woof woof!!"
As soon as the Dark Titan appeared, it was immediately attracted by the energy core on the magic array, letting out a cry of desire.
"Woof woof!"
The little guy looked at the energy core, then at Wang Chen, his face full of impatience.
"Go on!"
"After eating it, you will enter a new stage of growth and will be able to provide me with greater assistance."
Seeing this, Wang Chen stroked the Dark Titan's small head, then directly placed the little guy into the magic array and activated it.
Buzz buzz buzz!!
In an instant, the magic array emitted a strong light, enveloping the entire Dark Titan.
At the same time, the auxiliary Materials transformed into pure energy particles at this moment, merging into the Dark Titan's body.
