41: Chapter 41 You don't want to follow in its footsteps, do you?

The Red Flood Dragon didn't believe Lin Changqing could pose any threat to it.

However, as the saying goes, when things are abnormal, there must be a catch.

Could these two little fellows have made it all the way here without some skill and confidence?

Without any nonsense, Lin Changqing cleanly brought out the corpse of the Three-headed Griffin.

"You don't want to follow in its footsteps, do you?"

Looking at the corpse of the Three-headed Griffin and then at the Red Flood Dragon, Lin Changqing spoke with a beaming smile.

"This..."

Instantly, the Red Flood Dragon lost its composure.

It actually recognized this Three-headed Griffin.

A powerful being at the Nine Heavens of the Martial Saint Realm.

To think that a being that was alive and well not long ago had actually been killed?

Just how did the kid before its eyes pull this off?

Just thinking about it felt completely unbelievable.

"My patience is limited."

Seeing that the Red Flood Dragon remained silent, Lin Changqing spoke again in an unhurried tone.

"How much blood do you want?"

Giving Lin Changqing a deep look, the Red Flood Dragon asked reluctantly.

"Not much, just one jar will do."

Seeing the Red Flood Dragon compromise, Lin Changqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

A bright smile broke out on his face.

With that, he directly pulled out a jar.

A jade-green ceramic jar a little over a foot tall.

Without any hesitation, the Red Flood Dragon cleanly gave Lin Changqing some of its blood.

An arrow of red blood shot out from its back and landed into the jar.

"Very good! Thanks for cooperating!"

Nodding in satisfaction, Lin Changqing chuckled.

Only when Lin Changqing stowed away the flood dragon blood did Chu Ruoqing snap back to her senses.

Suddenly, she felt as though her brain couldn't keep up.

A creature like a flood dragon could be considered a top-tier Yao Beast, right?

But wasn't this Red Flood Dragon in front of her a little too spineless?

Was it truly intimidated by Lin Changqing?

At the same time, her admiration for Lin Changqing reached an all-time high.

This guy really was quite a character!

Who knew that something like this could actually work?

"You're welcome. Um... young man, I have a proposal. Would you care to hear it?"

Shaking its huge head, the Red Flood Dragon chuckled as it spoke.

After speaking, its eyes shone brightly as it looked at the corpse of the Three-headed Griffin floating beside Lin Changqing.

"Oh?"

"Let's hear it."

Raising an eyebrow, Lin Changqing casually stowed away the corpse of the Three-headed Griffin.

An amused expression subconsciously appeared on his face.

Lin Changqing was no fool; how could he not tell?

This Red Flood Dragon clearly had its eye on the Three-headed Griffin.

The reason the creature yielded to his threat was probably that it recognized this Three-headed Griffin, wasn't it?

"How about you give me the corpse of the Three-headed Griffin?"

"I can tell you a secret in exchange."

Staring at Lin Changqing's face, the Red Flood Dragon spoke in all seriousness.

"What secret?"

Glancing at the Red Flood Dragon with suspicion, Lin Changqing's face was full of curiosity.

To think it actually believed a secret could buy the corpse of the Three-headed Griffin from him?

Truly quite interesting!

"I know of a Treasure Trove. If I tell you, how about you give me that Three-headed Griffin's corpse?"

Getting straight to the point, the Red Flood Dragon spoke cleanly.

Hearing its words, Lin Changqing and Chu Ruoqing subconsciously exchanged a glance.

A Treasure Trove?

Speaking of which, Lin Changqing did happen to have a treasure map in his possession.

And wasn't the treasure location somewhere nearby?

So, could the Treasure Trove this Red Flood Dragon mentioned be the same one?

"If it's a Treasure Trove, why haven't you entered it to investigate yourself?"

Sizing up the Red Flood Dragon, Lin Changqing asked with some confusion.

Beside him, Chu Ruoqing shared the exact same thought.

"Because I lack the strength..."

Sighing, the Red Flood Dragon let out a bitter smile.

Hearing the Red Flood Dragon's words, Lin Changqing and Chu Ruoqing's hearts skipped a beat.

Even a first layer Martial Saint Realm wasn't strong enough?

*Hss!*

Just how terrifying was this Treasure Trove?

Just thinking about it left them both secretly clicking their tongues in amazement.

"Are you talking about this?"

After pondering for a moment, Lin Changqing pulled out the treasure map in his hand.

At the same time, he gave Chu Ruoqing a look.

Instantly, Chu Ruoqing understood the meaning in Lin Changqing's eyes.

If necessary, make a run for it on the spot?

"That's right!"

Glancing at the treasure map in Lin Changqing's hand, the Red Flood Dragon gave an awkward smile.

This kid actually possessed a treasure map?

It seemed its calculations were going to fall through.

However, the Red Flood Dragon was unwilling to give up just like this.

Because if it devoured the corpse of the Three-headed Griffin, its strength would definitely surge.

Wasn't this better than bitterly Cultivating for countless ages?

Especially since that Three-headed Griffin had attempted to hunt it down more than once in the past.

Fortunately, the griffin hadn't dared to dive into this swamp!

Now that there was an opportunity, it would find a way to devour its corpse to grow stronger.

Humph!

"Then..."

"How about I exchange something else with you?"

Hesitating for a moment, the Red Flood Dragon spoke with a pained expression.

Hearing the Red Flood Dragon's words and seeing its expression, Lin Changqing and Chu Ruoqing couldn't help but look at each other.

What good stuff did this creature actually have on it?

Something good enough to make it feel so pained to part with?

Now this was getting interesting.

"Take it out first so I can see."

Stretching his arms, Lin Changqing casually replied.

"Alright!"

Nodding, several Spiritual Plants about a foot tall suddenly appeared in front of the Red Flood Dragon.

These were dark purple plants covered in ancient patterns, exuding a powerful, gloomy aura.

"nether grass?"

Looking at these Spiritual Plants, Lin Changqing and Chu Ruoqing couldn't help exclaiming in shock.

Their hearts surged with excitement.

To think that the Red Flood Dragon actually possessed nether grass!

This was truly a pleasant surprise!

"nether grass?"

"Are you talking about this?"

"My parents gave them to me before they left. I ate a bunch of them, and my Bloodline Power grew quite a bit stronger."

"Unfortunately, they're useless to me now. Originally, I was thinking of trading them with other powerhouses for cultivation resources!"

Looking at the two, the Red Flood Dragon spoke carelessly.

Hearing the Red Flood Dragon's words, Lin Changqing and Chu Ruoqing were completely rendered speechless.

What a spendthrift!

What an absolute spendthrift!

Ate a whole bunch of nether grass?

Wasn't this a reckless waste of heaven's treasures?

"Deal!"

Thinking for merely a brief moment, Lin Changqing readily agreed.

The corpse of a top Martial Saint in exchange for seven stalks of nether grass?

He was definitely making a massive profit without losing a thing!

This was fantastic stuff for boosting one's Bloodline Power.

Of course, the Red Flood Dragon before him wasn't losing out either.

At any rate, its Bloodline Power had already reached its own bottleneck limit.

Why not trade for a powerful corpse to devour and grow stronger instead?

Soon, both sides reached a deal, and both were thoroughly thrilled.
