Chapter 117 - 114: Trapping the Donkey (1/3)
Black Donkey finally spat the truth. He did not possess any treasure-seeking abilities but, instead, had a strong sense for sensing powerful creatures.
In the Pingtian Mountain Range, he was able to get so many Spirit Herbs because he first found the Demon Beast guarding them and then swindled them away. This meant that Zhou Heng had been eating dirty items for three whole months!
Demon Beasts were easy to deceive, and people were easy to trick. Zhu Zhihe and his group had treated Black Donkey as if it were a Divine Donkey sent from heaven, and they were almost tricked out of their pants. This showed that Black Donkey was indeed capable. If he hadn’t met Zhou Heng first, who saw through his nature, even Zhou Heng might have been tricked.
After all, a talking donkey was truly shocking, and it was impossible not to treat it as a celestial creature.
"You worthless donkey, since you can’t treasure hunt, just stay wherever it suits you!" Zhou Heng waved his hand, his immunity to Black Donkey’s behavior already in effect, but An Yumei and Lin Fuxiang were almost mad with anger.
"Burning bridges after crossing the river, huh? I give you a face full of gold as a reward, you ungrateful wretch!" Black Donkey yelped repeatedly.
"If you want to follow us, keep your mouth shut. If I hear you say one word, I’ll throw you out immediately!" Zhou Heng said with a grin, watching Black Donkey.
"Scram, wanting me to keep silent; are you trying to murder me?" Black Donkey snapped opening its mouth to bite Zhou Heng—a master at dirty tricks and sly moves.
Zhou Heng activated his Swift Cloud Radiant Step just in time to dodge the sneak attack. However, knowing that Zhou Heng possessed a Space Artifact capable of holding living things stirred Black Donkey’s interest, making him refuse to leave.
"If you want me to leave, it’s simple—give me that Treasure Pagoda! Although I don’t fancy it much, I will reluctantly accept your filial piety!" Black Donkey shamelessly stated.
