Chapter 250: Serpent-tailed Lion
The Iron Armor Beast and the Black-striped Tiger flanked the Monk, blocking his path. Under the gazes of the two Tier Three Demon Beasts, the Monk quickly came to his senses. ’I can’t fight Lin Yun. I’ll definitely be the one to lose out if I do.’
Forcing a hideous, skin-deep smile, he looked at Lin Yun. Though his heart was bleeding, the Monk said, "Young Master Lin, I am not one to repay kindness with ingratitude. Consider this Earth Level Seven-Stars Spirit Grass a gift to you."
Hearing this, Lin Yun smiled faintly. "Really? You’re not being forced?"
"N... No. Not at all. I mean what I say."
In his heart, the Monk was cursing Lin Yun endlessly. ’This guy is an even bigger scoundrel than I am! It’s broad daylight robbery, yet he insists on making you say it’s a gift.’
"Haha, good! In that case, I’ll reluctantly accept it." Lin Yun laughed heartily and started walking forward.
Trailing behind Lin Yun, the Monk nearly coughed up a mouthful of old blood. ’I’ve been brilliant my whole life, yet I’ve been played by Lin Yun from start to finish.’
Ever since Mysterious City, the Monk and Daoist had never gotten a single advantage over Lin Yun. Instead, they were constantly tricked by him, much to their misery.
As they ventured deeper, the Monk and Daoist harvested a lot of Spirit Grass along the way. But, without exception, anything that was Earth Level Five-Stars or higher was taken by Lin Yun.
Lin Yun’s methods were direct. If the two refused to hand them over, the Black-striped Tiger and the Iron Armor Beast would make a move. Under the pressure of absolute strength, the Monk and Daoist were powerless to fight back, forced to watch helplessly as Lin Yun snatched away the Spirit Grass they had found.
The group, having reaped a bountiful harvest, continued deeper into the Mysterious Forest. However, on the second day, Lin Yun and his party ran into big trouble.
A Serpent-tailed Lion, a Tier Three Dominator Level Demon Beast. Its strength was comparable to an expert at the Ninth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm. Among Tier Three Demon Beasts, it was a well-deserved overlord.
