Chapter 2290 - 2290 Green Field Secret Treasure, Volume 4, Sky High!
2290 Green Field Secret Treasure, Volume 4, Sky High!
The purple and black fingernails on the fingers had a thick and creepy aura that would cause s.h.i.+vers to crawl up the spine of anyone in the vicinity.
Even Begin Lady, who was on Lin Yuan’s body, felt immense pressure.
But eventually, Evil Source regained her calmness and picked up a book.
When the book appeared, Lin Yuan was immediately reminded of the Secret of the Dead, Volume 5, Sinking Song that currently resided in his soul.
The Secret of the Dead, Volume 5, Sinking Song had already been cleansed and branded on the fountain of faith. It would not be long before he found out about its abilities.
Lin Yuan instinctively used True Data to check on the green book in Evil Source’s hand.
What he saw confirmed his conjecture—Green Field Secret Treasure, Volume 4, Sky High.
While Lin Yuan was checking on the green book, Evil Source opened the book.
In an instant, it was as though a seed was sprouting, and it did not take long before the entire sky was covered.
Lin Yuan was not amazed by this and calmly admired the changes.
But the other Dictators and Apostles sensed the power of their source totems weakening. Even Carnage Source, Mountain Ridge Source, and Hornless Dragon Source were affected.
Evil Source turned her gruff and tough face toward Lin Yuan as she said hoa.r.s.ely, “Do you know why the seven of us are able to oversee Marsh Abyss? It’s because each of us possesses one of these books that have different abilities. I will add this book to the stakes, but you will also have to up your stakes. If you win, you can have this book. If you lose, I will pick three items from your possession!”
Evil Source’s words stunned Carnage Source, Mountain Ridge Source, and Hornless Dragon Source. Even Carnage Source, who wanted to leave a good impression on Lin Yuan, dared not utter a word.
By offering this book, Evil Source was essentially offering to hand her authority over to Lin Yuan.
A large reason the seven of them could stand toe-to-toe without any of them gaining the upper hand on each other was the different abilities that the seven books possessed.
At first, they all chalked it up to Evil Source’s habit of acting irrationally. But now, Evil Source had just offered all of her a.s.sets.
Lin Yuan could tell from their expressions that this book was the real deal. It was likely that it was part of the marsh world’s biggest secret.
He had discovered both the Secret of the Dead and Green Field Secret Treasure in the marsh world and also proved the existence of the deceased dimensional world.
Lin Yuan did not have to be concerned when his betting stake was only the Deposit Ability Litchi Branch and Storing Ability White Peach’s sprouts.
But now, Evil Source wanted to pick three of his possessions. This would unquestionably affect his foundations.
Lin Yuan had just as valuable possessions as the Green Field Secret Treasure, Volume 4, Sky High. The Secret of the Dead, Volume 5, Sinking Song was already enough to match the value.
Thus, Lin Yuan could not agree to this bet with Evil Source.
“I don’t possess anything as valuable as that book. So I can’t accept your request. But if I lose, you can have all of my big and small source fruit sprouts. I won’t hold anything back.”
When Lin Yuan spoke, he intentionally gnashed his teeth together and put on a pained expression.
Even now, Evil Source was the most interested in the carnivorous plant that could produce big and small source fruits. Thus, Lin Yuan could be certain that Evil Source would agree to his counteroffer.
Just as Evil Source looked persuaded and was about to agree, Lin Yuan added, “The stakes I added are about 100 times more valuable than the original stake. So, you will be at an advantage. As such, I will decide how the bet will proceed!”
Evil Source’s expression turned stern.
Offering all of the big and small source fruit-producing carnivorous plants showed that Lin Yuan was going all out.
People who went all the way out were usually hiding an unbelievable secret weapon.
This caused Evil Source to feel a pressure that she had not felt in a long time.
But she was the one who had suggested the bet. No matter how mad she was, she would never choose to back out at such a juncture.
“Fine, you can decide how the bet will go on! But we have to be competing based on power.”
Since all bridges were already burned, bringing out the real guns would be better!
This way, they would be able to figure out the extent of each other’s power and avoid future conflicts if necessary.
If they bet in any other way and one side was indignant about losing, it could trigger serious consequences.
Evil Source seemed to be giving Lin Yuan a way out, but it was also a way out for herself.
Now that Evil Source had agreed, Lin Yuan pointed at Everything.
“Everything has only just entered the Turning Wheel Realm and is not much stronger than a pinnacle Apostle. I will send her as my representative in the fight, and you can also pick a Dictator who has recently entered the Turning Wheel Realm. We will boost each of them, and whoever follower wins also wins the bet!”
Mountain Ridge Source, Hornless Dragon Source, and Carnage Source found Lin Yuan’s bet to be very refres.h.i.+ng. They had never heard of such a bet before.
But it was true that this method of betting could demonstrate a Dictator’s power.
This method of betting also enabled Lin Yuan and Evil Source to avoid fighting directly.
However, this method of betting was well suited to Evil Source’s source totem’s ability.
Just like how they had never heard of Ten Thousand Source in the past, it was likely that Ten Thousand Source was not familiar with Evil Source either.
Otherwise, he would never have suggested such a bet.
Pregnant Poison had already appeared next to Evil Source.
Regardless of how she felt, Pregnant Poison would have to act appropriately in a fight between Evil Source and Lin Yuan.
Pregnant Poison prayed that Evil Source would not pick her. She would not be willing to partic.i.p.ate even if she was given the chance to enter the Samsara Realm.
However, her ability could counter Everything. It was unlikely that Evil Source would give up on the advantage and the opportunity to increase her power.
Once representing Evil Source in a fight against Lin Yuan, she would be well and truly on the opposite side from Lin Yuan.
But if she lost, Evil Source would not let her off either.
But it did not take long for Pregnant Poison to realize that she was worried over nothing because Evil Source ended up picking another Turning Wheel Realm Dictator.
This Dictator had only recently entered the Turning Wheel Realm and had about the same amount of power as Everything.
Pregnant Poison knew that this Dictator was always by Evil Source’s side but was not well aware of his background.
Despite only recently letting out a sigh of relief, Pregnant Poison got an increasingly stronger feeling that something was wrong.
She started to cry out angrily to herself, Tasteless! Why wasn’t I picked? Don’t you trust me? Let me see how you pick up the pieces after your loss!
