Chapter 276: Two hundred seventy-six scrambling
"Kid, don’t try to provoke me. When necessary, I can lend you a hand, but whether your little body can take it or not, I’m not responsible!" The Golden Snake Worm obviously wasn’t a pushover either. After subtly clarifying its stance, it fell silent.
"Deal!"
That was exactly what Yun Xiao wanted to hear. Although he didn’t believe that the Golden Snake Worm was truly a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, its mysterious origins and ability to speak human language certainly meant it was no ordinary Vein Demon.
The reality was as Yun Xiao had said. With his Meridian Rushing Realm Early Stage cultivation, he could fight and defeat geniuses like Yin Huan at the Meridian Rushing Realm Middle Stage, but any stronger than that became uncertain.
Especially for this Meridian Treasure opening, with several powerhouses at the Early Stage of the Meridian Union Realm present, facing these formidable opponents, Yun Xiao feared that even escaping would become extremely difficult.
Of course, these were not reasons for Yun Xiao to give up. Realizing it was the Dragon Summoning Tree, he was already determined not to let go; even if the Golden Snake Worm hadn’t spoken up, he would have done everything in his power to seize it.
But with the Golden Snake Worm’s willingness to help, how could Yun Xiao not maximize its power to his advantage? With such an ally, perhaps he would have a better chance at grabbing the Dragon Summoning Tree.
The Golden Snake Worm must have thought similarly; it likely picked up on Yun Xiao’s provocative intent but for some reasons, it couldn’t presently fight on its own and thus needed to rely on Yun Xiao’s strength.
It was these underlying factors that made Yun Xiao and the Golden Snake Worm click instantly, and because of the Dragon Summoning Tree, they truly communicated for the first time, moving beyond their previous state of mutual speculation.
"Yun Xiao, what’s wrong?"
