Chapter 114: Tricking the Donkey
The Black Donkey eventually coughed up the truth; it had no treasure-seeking abilities but rather a strong instinct for detecting powerful creatures.
In the Pingtian Mountain Range, it had managed to obtain so many Spirit Herbs because it first located the Demon Beasts guarding them and then swindled, deceived, and stole them away. In other words, Zhou Heng had been eating dirty things for three whole months!
The Demon Beasts were easy to fool, and humans were easy to trick; Zhu Zhihe and his group treated the Black Donkey as if it were a divine creature that had descended from heaven, almost losing their trousers to its deceit. It showed that the Black Donkey was indeed very capable. If Zhou Heng hadn’t seen through its true nature from the start, even he might have been duped.
After all, a talking donkey was truly shocking, and it was practically impossible not to be treated as a creature of heaven and earth.
"You worthless donkey, since you can’t seek treasures, just go stay wherever it’s cool!" Zhou Heng waved his hand, already immune to the Black Donkey’s scoundrel nature, while An Yumei and Lin Fuxiang were nearly infuriated to death.
"So you’re ditching me after crossing the river, huh? You ungrateful wretch, take this faceful of gold!" the Black Donkey exclaimed repeatedly.
"You can follow if you like, but keep your mouth shut; if I hear you utter a single word, I’ll throw you out immediately!" Zhou Heng looked at the Black Donkey with a playful smile.
"Get lost! If I stay silent, are you trying to murder me?" The Black Donkey snapped and lunged at Zhou Heng with its mouth open. In terms of sneaky strikes and ambushes, this degraded donkey was undoubtedly among the experts.
Zhou Heng activated the Swift Cloud Radiant Step just in time to dodge the sneak attack, but the Black Donkey, lured by the sight of treasures and knowing Zhou Heng had a Space Artifact that could carry living things, refused to leave his side.
"If you want me to leave, it’s simple; just hand over that Treasure Pagoda to me! Though it’s beneath my standards, I’ll reluctantly accept this show of filial piety from you!" The Black Donkey shamelessly demanded.
