Chapter 1286: “Sincere Cooperation, Mutual Benefit, and Win-Win Situation”
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Wolf King cursed in his heart and sneakily hid in the dark, attracting a large number of evil energy puppet remains. Then, he sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight. What kind of “Turan orc method” was this?
Even so, he did not dare to continue testing Meng Chao’s determination.
Moreover, the way his opponent spoke and acted was very different from that of an ordinary orc. It made him feel as if he was in a pool of fog, seeing his own reflection. It was both vague and familiar.
“You’re from the Blood Hoof Clan?”
The Wolf King carefully observed Meng Chao’s totem armor, trying his best to search for clues from the armor’s design and the totem engraving’s style. “I don’t remember there being any deep hatred between me and the powerhouses of the Blood Hoof Clan that is worth our collective deaths.
“Or do the chiefs and priests of the Blood Hoof clan think that the leader of the Wolf clan is more of a threat than the Lion King and the Tiger King?”
Meng Chao’s totem armor was originally made up by the Blood Hoof Warriors.
In the Blood Skull Temple, after another large-scale upgrade, it was equipped with the “Skull Crusher”, a peerless weapon.
The first “Skull Crusher”was a war hammer that constantly spewed lava.
Although it had been reforged into the appearance of a heavy saber by Meng Chao, the totem carved on the surface of the totem armor and the brutal killing intent released when the saber was waved were all contaminated with a very strong.., the Blood Hoof clan’s indomitable, incomparably violent aura.
Meng Chao had no way of concealing the origin of this totem battle armor.
But he couldn’t really say to the wolf king, “Yes, in My Eyes, your threat is indeed ten times greater than the Lion King and Tiger King combined.”
This would only increase the wolf king’s vigilance and hostility.
Fortunately, the Wolf King was a first-cla.s.s smart person in Tu Lan Ze.
And the biggest characteristic of smart people was that they could see through a little bit of information. They could even come up with a bunch of random things in their minds.
Therefore, Meng Chao did not respond. He just sneered a few times and put on a posture that said, “You know what I want.”.
As expected, “Jackal”ka.n.u.s started to make up his mind.
After thinking for a while, he immediately understood. “You also want the Holy Mountain Inheritance?”
That’s right, the Wolf King suddenly understood and said to himself in his heart — this guy was probably a secret agent of the b.l.o.o.d.y Hoof clan who had infiltrated the golden clan. He was probably here to gather intelligence, but for some unknown reason.., he had unintentionally exposed the secret of the Great Horn Army and deduced the truth of the Battle of Crimson Gold City. Moreover, through the ability of the ancient Dream Saintess, he had followed the clues and found this place.
For this fellow, it was too far-fetched for him to go back to the Blood Hoof clan to ask for help.
Therefore, he could only use all his tricks and even unscrupulously activate a large number of evil energy puppet remains to stir up the water as much as possible.
Even if he could not obtain the Holy Mountain’s inheritance, as long as he could prevent the golden clan from obtaining the Holy Mountain’s inheritance, it would be a great contribution to the Blood Hoof clan.
That’s right, it was like that!
He thought that he had seen through Meng Chao’s intentions.
The Wolf King was slightly more certain.
Meng Chao also let out a hoa.r.s.e laugh, he said vaguely, “The Holy Mountain was originally the Holy Mountain shared by the five great clans. The inheritance hidden in the depths of the Holy Mountain is also a gift from the great ancestor spirit to the Warriors of the five great clans, a common inheritance!”
The more he said this, the more relieved the Wolf King became.
“That’s right.”
The corner of Ca.n.u.s’mouth, which was hidden under the mask, once again curled into a smile of victory, “I agree. The inheritance that the great ancestor spirit left for us is extremely precious, extremely huge, and extremely ferocious. It is definitely not something that can be taken by one person alone.
“Originally, I secretly trained a very elite team and was prepared to bring them to receive the gift of the great ancestor spirit.
“But now, it seems that this team has all been destroyed by the contamination of evil energy.
“In other words, if I still want to receive the gifts of the great ancestor spirit, it seems that I have to put aside my hatred, resentment, and conflicts. Working sincerely with you, an opponent who is worthy of respect even though I don’t know his name, for mutual benefit and win-win?”
His tone was very sincere.
So sincere that it was somewhat humble.
This was the tone that he usually used in front of the Lion King and the Tiger King.
Such a tone was absolutely not reminiscent of the blood-red lightning that was so fierce that it made one’s hair stand on end.
And words like “Win-win”were even more of a concept that was rarely used in the Tulan civilization, where the strong preyed on the weak and the victor was king.
Even speaking in Tulan was a little awkward and stuttering.
Even though Meng Chao had just fought to the death with the Wolf King.
He had to admit that this guy’s words made sense.
But when he thought of Dragon City in his previous life and the outcome of “Sincere cooperation and mutual benefit and win-win”with this doomsday wolf, he hesitated again.
At this time, a second mournful wolf howl came from the depths of the smoke.
The Lion King and Tiger King had already found the second surviving Gnoll warrior to torture and interrogate.
The location of the Howl was one step closer to Meng Chao and ka.n.u.s.
This made the wolf king even more anxious.
However, the temperament he displayed instead became more steady and calm.
“Don’t tell me you think that there’s still a possibility of cooperation between you, the Lion King and the Tiger King?”
The Wolf King sneered. “You almost killed all of them just now!”
“I was saving them.”
Faced with such a smart character like ‘Jackal’ka.n.u.s, Meng Chao did not feel that there was a need for him to be stubborn and deny that he had activated the angel of slaughter, “If I hadn’t woken up so many evil energy puppets in time and attracted so many remains, the Lion King and the Tiger King would have been fighting each other a long time ago. Even if they hadn’t perished together, they would have been killed by you, including their subordinates. None of them would have been able to escape.
“Now, although Lion King and Tiger King suffered heavy losses, they are still alive. They can still gather a batch of defeated soldiers. They should thank me
“That’s true. You did save their lives. Logically speaking, they should thank you.”
Wolf King didn’t deny it. Instead, he changed the topic, “However, you are a guy in the b.l.o.o.d.y hoof armor. After all, you are the direct murderer who attracted so many evil energy puppet remains and killed so many of their subordinates. From an emotional point of view, Lion King, Tiger King, and their subordinates must hate you to the bone.
“If I don’t tear you into pieces, how Will Lion King and Tiger King face their brothers who died from the contamination of the evil energy? How will they appease their subordinates who are still alive but are seriously injured and furious?
“Believe me, no one knows Lion King and Tiger King Better Than I do. They may not be pure idiots, but they are definitely not people like you and me who can control their emotions with reason. Even if I don’t Kill You, you won’t end up better than me if you fall into their hands.”
“I can explain.”
Meng Chao said, “I had no choice at that time.”
“You won’t be able to explain it clearly.”
Wolf King said, “A guy wearing blood hoof armor attracted a large number of demonic energy puppet remains and almost killed the most powerful lion king, Tiger King, and Wolf King of the Gold clan. How can you explain such a thing to make people believe that you have no choice?
“Even if you can explain it clearly, the Lion King and Tiger King are smart and broad-minded enough to cooperate with you on the surface. Then what?
“Even if they are heavily wounded, they are still the strongest warriors of the Gold clan and even Tulanze. They still have a group of defeated soldiers under their command. There are also the elite warriors of the entire clan outside the sacred mountain, ready to be summoned at any time.
“What do you have? Why are you cooperating with them? What makes you think that after opening the temple of the sacred mountain and receiving the gifts from the ancestral spirits, they will give you a share of the rewards?
“Tu Lanze’s rules are that the strong are the king, and the winner takes all. You are not qualified to cooperate with them at all.
“Not to mention that there is an irreconcilable conflict between the Lion King and the Tiger King. Whether or not I sow discord between them, the Tiger clan is fighting the Lion clan in the Crimson Gold City, and the Tiger King is chasing after them all the way to the depths of the sacred mountain. This is a fact that no one can cover up and explain!
“I think that before they find the temple of the sacred mountain, the Lion King and the Tiger King, who are seriously injured, might maintain a cooperative relationship on the surface.
“However, they will certainly try their best to heal their wounds in secret and test each other’s strength to confirm how heavily injured they are in the contamination of the evil energy and how much strength they have left.
“When their wounds recover to a certain extent, or when they open the temple of the Sacred Mountain and obtain the ancient heritage, they will definitely not tolerate each other and leave the sacred mountain alive.
“At that time, a fierce battle will inevitably break out between the Lion King and the Tiger King. Are you sure you want to be caught between them at that time?”
Meng Chao pondered for a moment and said, “According to what you said, we are the best partners?”
“Of course.”
The Wolf King laughed, “You can’t do anything to me, and I can’t do anything to you. Moreover, we are facing the death threat of the Lion King and the Tiger King together. Under such circ.u.mstances, if we still can’t put aside the conflict that didn’t exist in the first place and cooperate sincerely, that would be extremely stupid!”
“That makes sense.”
Meng Chao said, “But I still have a small problem.”
Wolf king asked, “What problem?”
“Here, it’s true that you can’t do anything to me, and I can’t do anything to you either. The two of US can still maintain a relationship of mutual fear and relative equality.”
Meng Chao said, “But since you have the confidence to capture Lion King and Tiger King in one fell swoop and take the inheritance of the Sacred Mountain for yourself, it can be seen that you have a certain level of understanding of the method to open the Sacred Mountain Temple, the traps in the depths of the temple, and the general contents of the ancestral spirit’s gift.
“In other words, when we go deep into the temple of the sacred mountain, it will be like a Colosseum set up by the Wolf Clan. You will have the absolute home advantage.
“At that time, how can I maintain the relationship of ‘mutual respect and equality’?
“If you are in the depths of the temple of the sacred mountain, between the traps and the maze-like secret tunnels, and you show your sharp claws and teeth to me after you exhaust my value, what other methods can I have to keep my life
