Chapter 479: Chapter 456: Flash Scale Gemstone Snake (4000 words!)
When Numba spoke, everyone including Tang Qi tensed up, their minds alert and their eyes guarded, fearing that this Old Wizard, who had just displayed terrifying abilities, might start trouble.
He might not be able to kill all eight people directly, but no one wanted to be the “unlucky one.”
Fortunately, Numba seed to only want to give a “friendly” reminder and did not make any aggressive moves, but the situation still quickly shifted to another state.
The eight continued with the original plan, remaining silent and choosing not to follow the sleeping “Visares” into the forbidden periphery, the dark waters, but instead, they stood on the cliff, sensing the dangerous aura beginning to emanate from Numba.
The Earth Mother Witch broke the silence, saying, “We can fulfill the agreent, but we request the Chituaga Tribe to advance the reward, the reward for all of us.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the group wasn’t just on guard but also silently prepared themselves.
Once a conflict arose, the situation would beco unpredictable and uncontrollable.
The group thought that making such a demand at a critical mont would likely anger the Chituaga Tribe.
Even if Numba agreed in the end, there might be a confrontation first.
Unexpectedly, however, a different scene unfolded.
“No problem!”
A smile suddenly appeared on Numba’s tattoo-covered, aged face.
He seed to have anticipated all this, clapping his hands, and from behind him, Cardo and a few other Chituaga people ca forward, each holding a differently sized wooden box, and approached the group.
Amidst the group’s shocked gazes, Numba spoke.
“The rewards you saviors need are all here.”
“Just sign another contract, and by following the ancestral spirit’s thod, kill that ‘Visares’, and our deal will be concluded. Then you can leave at will, and the hospitable Chituaga people will not impede you.”
Hearing the word “contract,” a sense of horror in the hearts of the group eased sowhat.
A contract lessened the feeling of terror.
But quickly, when everyone looked at the contract passed by Numba, made of so sort of animal hide, their expressions simultaneously froze.
An even more horrifying feeling surged over them.
Was the contract stringent?
No, the opposite.
This contract provided by Numba, called the “Kudolu Contract,” was very lenient, and it fully protected the rights of Tang Qi and his group. The only mandatory clause was that the eight of them had to enter the sea and make one attempt.
If following the ancestral thod of the Chituga, the group couldn’t kill Visares, they could leave at any ti without having to return the compensation.
Also, the witness for this contract was Kudolu, referred to by the Ancient Maya as the “God of Wanderers,” a typically unreliable god. Having him witness the contract ant there wasn’t much binding force.
“Although no confrontation erupted, we’ve moved to the stage of an open plot. Numba swiftly agreed to the unreasonable demands of the group, also using the trade compensation to corner them… Either they rip off the cordial fa??ade and face Numba’s assault first or take a chance and sign this lenient contract.”
“The Mysterious Side really has no fools.”
Tang Qi continued to act as an unnoticeable Weak Chicken Alchemist, examining the contract in his hands.
His Special Ability was already activated; there was no issue with the contract.
That is to say, Numba really didn’t care whether the group truly exerted their effort to kill “Visares” for the Chituaga Tribe. His only desire was to force the eight into the sea to at least make one attempt?
No ti was given for much consideration.
An elder from the Mamba School suddenly hinted, “My Corrosive Soul Secret dicine only lasts for one hour.”
As he spoke, the Earth Mother Witch suddenly looked up and exchanged glances with the others, nodding slightly, understanding the aning in each other’s eyes.
Everyone, with their respective thods, confird that the contract had no issues.
“We sign!”
The Witch’s voice ca from beneath her green robe.
While several “shh shh shh” sounds followed, all eight people signed their nas on the animal hide contract.
Afterward, they obtained the rewards for this transaction in advance.
Tang Qi took a large wooden box from Cardo.
He walked directly to a secluded corner, opened it to examine it, and inside, there were ten freshly harvested “rubber fruits” with short ti spans. In the center, wrapped with bark and vines, lay a milky white special sapling.
It might have been very vibrant when dug up.
But now, under Tang Qi’s gaze, it was almost visibly withering. The green leaves were turning yellow, the roots were shrinking, and the tree trunk, covered with net-like veins, was quickly losing moisture.
A special twisted fluctuation was continuously weakening.
“Curios: Demonized Rubber Tree, as it leaves the special environnt, it is heading towards death…”
“Sigh”
Almost without hesitation, Tang Qi slapped Gluttony, its Blood Bowl mouth opened, and swallowed the entire box.
Then, Tang Qi looked at Gluttony, which had returned to the shape of a dicine Box, with an inquiring gaze.
A thought ca through.
The change stopped!
Receiving the feedback from Gluttony, Tang Qi felt sowhat relieved. Although this didn’t an that the “Demonized Rubber Tree” would survive if transplanted back to the Secret Realm, it at least proved that the change wasn’t as dreadful as leaving its special environnt.
“A magical plant, Selma will definitely be very interested.”
