Chapter 1858 - 1853: All Negotiations Fell Through
"Really? Xiaobei, you’re not lying to us, right?"
Seeing their excitement, Hu Xiaobei continued, "Yes! I’m not lying to you, it really did have an effect, but there’s still a long way to go to cure it completely!"
"No worries, as long as it has an effect!"
"Yeah!"
Hearing their excited response, Hu Xiaobei smiled and was about to say something else when his expression suddenly changed...
"Xiaobei, what’s wrong?"
"Yeah, what’s up with you!"
Seeing Hu Xiaobei’s expression change, they couldn’t help but get nervous again.
Hearing their anxious inquiries, Hu Xiaobei realized they misunderstood him.
With a gentle smile, Hu Xiaobei said, "It’s nothing, I just remembered something else! Since you’re all okay now, how about I take you to see a good show? It’s going to be really interesting!"
"A good show? What kind of show?"
They were baffled!
They felt that Hu Xiaobei was a bit unpredictable.
One moment he was talking about other things, and the next, he switched topics again...
"Let’s keep it a secret for now; you’ll find out soon! Let’s head out now!"
With a mysterious smile, Hu Xiaobei quickly walked out.
They exchanged glances and quickly followed him.
They knew that Hu Xiaobei had obviously noticed something interesting.
So they really wanted to follow and see what was going on.
...
The reason Hu Xiaobei’s expression changed earlier was that he sensed many poisonous beasts approaching.
He knew the reason those poisonous beasts were coming was due to the Poison Liquid that he had Treasure-hunting Rabbit handle earlier.
Hu Xiaobei was worried they wouldn’t be able to handle it, so he wanted to go and check it out.
Knowing they were bored, Hu Xiaobei invited them along as well.
Since he was in a hurry to get there, Hu Xiaobei didn’t share more detailed information with them.
Anyway, once they saw the situation on site, they would understand completely.
"Why is there still no response? Was the master lying to me before?"
Treasure-hunting Rabbit furrowed its brow...
It had been stirring for quite a while, but still hadn’t seen any poisonous beasts approaching.
So, it started to think Hu Xiaobei had tricked it...
"No! The master probably wouldn’t actually lie to me, so maybe not enough time has passed; I’ll wait a bit longer."
Thinking this, Treasure-hunting Rabbit continued stirring with the stick in its hand.
The originally dark green stick had turned into an ominous black by now.
It even started to corrode a little...
...
"Hmm?"
A minute later, Treasure-hunting Rabbit’s ears twitched.
It did so because it sensed movement in the grass ahead.
"Is there finally a fish biting the hook?"
With a bit of anticipation, it stopped stirring and stared intently at the waist-high grass.
Soon, Treasure-hunting Rabbit spotted a pair of glaring red eyes staring right at it.
"Really? They’re even redder than my eyes, is this an eye infection?"
Muttering to itself, Treasure-hunting Rabbit saw it in full - it was a beast similar to a fox.
However, compared to a fox, it looked much more ferocious.
Because it not only had longer fangs but its gaze was blood-red...
"Scary! Doing business with such terrifying beings requires caution!"
Talking to itself, Treasure-hunting Rabbit watched it and calmly spoke, "Hello, is there something you need?"
The fox-like beast didn’t reply, it just started drooling.
"Really? Does it want to eat me?"
Seeing it start to drool, Treasure-hunting Rabbit thought to itself in exasperation.
Just as it was about to say something else, the beast began rushing towards it with a roar.
In an instant, it was upon Treasure-hunting Rabbit.
"Looks like this really can’t be negotiated!"
With a lamenting sigh, Treasure-hunting Rabbit shouted, "Bodyguards, someone’s causing trouble!"
Saying that, Hei and Xiaobai, who had been hiding in the shadows, appeared swiftly.
After they appeared, they let out furious roars and appeared right in front of Treasure-hunting Rabbit.
Their sudden appearance left the rushing fox-like beast completely stunned.
Realizing they were not to be messed with, it wanted to escape, but it was too late...
Because it couldn’t handle the speed now...
"You gotta be kidding me!"
Inwardly cursing, it could only watch as two big paws came closer...
After two breaths, it was slammed to the ground like a flying cucumber.
Its whole body felt like it was falling apart...
"Truly terrifying!"
It trembled as it looked at them...
It finally understood why the seemingly ordinary rabbit showed no fear!
It turned out it had powerful allies!
Seeing that it had realized their threat, Treasure-hunting Rabbit nonchalantly waved its chubby paw.
Hei and Xiaobai saw this and vanished once more...
Seeing them hide again, Treasure-hunting Rabbit looked at it, still too weak to stand, and calmly said, "If you want this black liquid, you can exchange items with me. The more precious the items, the more you can get. Don’t bring worthless items! Got it?"
It slowly nodded...
Quickly, it struggled to stand up.
After standing, it glanced at Treasure-hunting Rabbit and turned to leave.
It knew it needed to prepare items for bartering because grabbing was not an option...
Just seven or eight steps away, it saw another beast, even larger than itself, charging through the grass.
Seeing it appear, the fox-like creature who was about to leave stopped in its tracks.
It no longer planned to leave because it intended to stay and watch the show.
With this in mind, it lazily turned its head, seeing the giant beast eyeing Treasure-hunting Rabbit greedily.
Glancing at the giant beast, Treasure-hunting Rabbit remarked, "I assume you want this Poison Liquid too! That’s fine, but you need to trade items with me! The more valuable the item, the more you’ll receive."
Hearing Treasure-hunting Rabbit’s words, it cracked a smile...
Treasure-hunting Rabbit could sense its disdain...
"Looks like a change of strategy is needed since these beasts really don’t want to negotiate!"
While muttering this, the giant beast turned to look at the fox-like creature previously disciplined by Hei and Xiaobai.
The fox-like beast, realizing the giant’s gaze, knew it intended to invite it to join forces.
Quickly, it shook its head...
Because it knew even if they joined forces, they’d have no chance as both White Wolf and Black Tiger were too terrifying.
After being refused, the giant beast continued staring mockingly at Treasure-hunting Rabbit.
Then, it let out a roar.
Understanding that it wanted her to hand over the Poison Liquid, Treasure-hunting Rabbit glanced at it and said calmly, "I only accept bartering, there’s no free handout!"
