Chapter 200: Zi and Cang in Opposition
The entire 50,000 Devil Gold Coins had astonishing power.
If the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps still held these coins, it would have been terrible.
But afterwards was the auction.
At the auction, Zi Di and Cang Xu had showered others with these gold coins to increase their strength and didn’t stint at spending.
Therefore, most of these Devil Gold Coins have been spent by them.
Because of the auction hall’s dramatic change, Cang Xu and Zi Di hadn’t spent the last of the gold coins and returned them to the mercenary corps’ storage.
The two of them had some gold coins on them.
But where did the vast majority of the gold coins end up?
On…Hun Tong’s person!
Two Eyes Island’s auction was carried out differently than other auctions.
Because the buyers were special, therefore, transactions were carried out on the spot.
The buyers paid gold coins to the auction hall to obtain their goods.
The sellers received gold coins from the auction hall.
But the gold coins they received were not the same ones.
The specific situation pertaining to the Devil Gold Coins was this: Cang Xu and Zi Di received goods and gave a portion of the Devil Gold Coins to the auction.
The auction took out prepared god coins and gave it to the seller.
This wasn’t exclusive behavior to Two Eyes Island’s auction; other auctions did the same.
The main reason was to prevent buyers from tampering with said gold coins and using fake money to buy real goods.
The seller who received the fake money would naturally be unresigned, leading to a noisy dispute that would harm the auction hall’s reputation.
As far as the auction hall was concerned, since it was the host of this trade event, they would naturally play their part and bear the risks of doing so.
Therefore, the auction hall was both responsible for the buyers and had to look after the sellers.
To an auction hall, reputation was far more important.
Without reputation, without buyers and sellers participating, an unattended auction would be the worst thing ever.
As a result, an auction hall had liquid funds stored, verified as genuine gold coins that were handed to the sellers.
As for the buyer’s gold coins, the auction hall would certainly appraise them.
Under normal circumstances, the appraisal wouldn’t make any mistakes.
Even if there was a mistake, and the auction hall received fake money, they would only lose a portion of the auction’s turnover, and most importantly, their reputation would be preserved, and so that kind of loss could be endured.
The money Two Eyes Island’s auction received were strictly guarded. After the auction finished, it would be escorted by a massive force of city guards to the treasury.
But this auction was very unusual.
The entire auction hall became a cage to imprison cultivators.
How could Hun Tong feel at ease at leaving these gold coins somewhere outside?
Therefore, while he was leading everyone in their breakout, he also put all of the gold coins from the auction into his storage device.
When the naga priestess failed to see her prayer do anything, she couldn’t help but suspect whether it had worked.
While as a matter of fact, she succeeded.
But the agreement’s power was wordless and uncommunicative.
For it didn’t give off an imposing light nor trigger any shaking sounds, only the devilish whispering coming from the affected targets’ heart.
Consequently, Zi Di’s eyes suddenly went red.
Her mind was still very clear, but her motivation completely changed.
“Attack the island!”
“Help the fishmen attack Two Eyes Island!!”
A moment before, she had wanted to be patient and wait for a good chance to steal Hai Ping’s corpse away.
But now, her mind was filled with thoughts on how to effectively fulfill the agreement.
She immediately took control of the Deep Sea Monster Fish and turned it into its fishman form.
Two holes appeared on both sides of its hull, where from within extended a framework.
Vehicle armor quickly fitted across the framework, forming the shape of a fishman.
The entire hull began to bend, and the tip of the keel automatically separated from the hull and morphed into a gigantic harpoon.
A dozen seconds later, the Deep Sea Monster Fish completely changed into a giant fishman holding a harpoon.
The Deep Sea Monster Fish had three forms, the fishman form was the strongest combat form!
To fulfill the agreement, Zi Di displayed the most sincerity she could.
Her reason was intact, and knew she couldn’t rely on her own power, for she was but a mere bronze level necromancer.
Only with the help of the Deep Sea Monster Fish’s might could she be the greatest help towards the fishmen in their capture of Two Eyes Island.
Changing into the giant fishman was only the beginning.
A moment later, the fishman stood on the seafloor and looked up into the sky.
It opened its large mouth, exposing the gold cannon, the Electric Arc Cannon.
A gold level Python Stray Bullet shell was conveyed through the fishman’s throat, slid into the cannon’s rear, and entered the cannon’s firing chamber.
Magic power from the reservoir ferociously poured in.
The Electric Arc Cannon’s mouth crackled with lightning.
A vast gold level aura seeped everywhere!
Alarms resonated throughout the Golden Flash’s main cabin.
It detected that there was a giant fishman on the seafloor, and that the fishman was in the process of gathering strength for a powerful gold level attack!
Zi Di did not know Hun Tong had also suffered the same influence.
Her reason told her this: to help the fishmen to the best of her ability, she had to prioritize eradicating the strongest enemy.
An overall survey of the entire battlefield determined who else but the gold level magic ship in the sky was the strongest foe?
Battle skill – Raging Flame Dancing Skirt.
Silver battle qi cured around Yue Ban’s body, acting in concert with her body hair as it ignited.
The meticulous flames formed the shape of a dancing skirt.
The raging hot flames twisted the air around her.
“This dancer is so strong!” Hong Zhu’s hands that withstood the fire were quickly burnt black as she found Yue Ban.
She retreated back, and with the time gained, she promptly drank a potion.
A fire resistance potion!
Hong Zhu and Yue Ban continued to fight, but Hong Zhu was gradually losing.
However, it wasn’t easy for Yue Ban to win either.
Hong Zhu’s artifacts appeared like flies.
She constantly adventured outside, sometimes by herself, therefore, she had a habit of equipping herself fully.
Therefore, she usually had abundant supplies.
Several hundred meters above them, Qing Xin and Cang Xu were fighting Ya Ma.
Qing Xin and Cang Xu were working together, but they too were losing.
Thanks to her flying ant, Ya Ma had outstanding flying capabilities.
She not only had the flying ant, but also the Yellow Nest Wasp at her side.
The latter was a mobile fort that was a huge threat to the enemy!
In this fight, the advantages of a summoner had been adequately displayed by Ya Ma.
It would be for the best if those opposing Ya Ma had a plan that could deal with the summoner instead of being bogged down by the summons.
Ya Ma was very strong and could be said to be quite a thorny problem.
Even if the dragonman youngster was present, it wasn’t enough to deal with her.
The dragonman youngster had both attack and defense, completely able to break through to get at the summoner, but he had one massive problem.
He couldn’t fly.
At best, the dragonman youngster could use Surge to jump long distances.
As a matter of fact, this kind of jumping capability in terms of attacking flying opponents couldn’t compare to Hu Li’s Musical Scale battle skill in terms of practicality.
“How can you be this weak, are you really this weak?”
“That I lost to you is simply a great embarrassment!”
Ya Ma constantly hooted, enraged over a perceived humiliation.
Cang Xu on the surface looked like a silver level, his disguise couldn’t be seen through, however, Deceptive Disguise could not improve his battle strength.
Therefore, his displayed military power was actually at the iron level.
Even with the help of the fire path rings, they were only at the iron level, that’s all.
“Where is your fellow?”
“We have been fighting for a while, yet she hasn’t appeared yet.”
“Did they run away?”
Ya Ma used words to attack Cang Xu’s morale and manipulate him mentally.
At the same time, she commanded her golden swarm to chase Cang Xu and Qing Xin around, forcing them into a difficult situation.
Qing Xin was barely able to cast a wind blade spell.
The wind blade flew out.
Ya Ma’s flying ant straightened its back and stiffly resisted the blade.
The summoner’s defensive line was quite stable, and so far, none of her defensive magical artifacts had been used.
“Not even a magic staff.”
“You really humiliate magicians.”
Ya Ma sneered at Qing Xin, then took out a snake shaped staff.
She first imbued it with magic power, then threw the snake shaped magic staff.
With magic power bubbling out, wings grew from the magic staff.
The snake shaped magic staff instantly activated, and conforming to the magical wings, it became a silver level feather snake than started to chase after Qing Xin.
Qing Xin was in grave danger.
For a moment, she could only retreat, unable to look after Cang Xu.
“Even if someone helps you, you will still fall by my hands.”
“Ultimately, you are beyond hope.”
“Even if I give you a chance, you are still beyond hope!”
Ya Ma burst out laughing like an arrogant bully.
However, a moment later, Cang Xu suddenly raised his head, his eyes red.
He also had a few Devil Gold Coins on his person.
He was influenced by the agreement.
Cang Xu raised his head and roared.
Countless ghosts flew out from his body, and for a split second, an evil wind blew into the battlefield, the chillness wilding nipping the air.
“Huh?!” Ya Ma’s smile froze completely, her eyes widened, and her pupils violently contracted at this startling development she hadn’t foreseen.
“Necro, necromancer?!” Hong Zhu and Yue Ban both sucked in a cold gasp and slowed their attacks.
Qing Xin also looked bewildered.
To fulfill the agreement, Cang Xu decided to act in utter sincerity, and would naturally use his full strength to make it so.
Thus, his necromancer identity was subsequently exposed.
As the dragonman youngster was rushing over, he spotted this happening, his heart utterly agonized.
He had nearly gotten to Cang Xu.
But he failed at the last hurdle!
How could he help him?
Before Cang Xu revealed his necromancer background, the dragonman youngster could explain helping him.
But now, if he helped, he couldn’t explain it away.
He had run over with great difficulty but could no longer help.
This outcome left the dragonman youngster helpless.
Zong Ge tightly scowled, his heart filling with puzzlement, “Why? Cang Xu definitely could have continued to stall, although he was in a pinch, it didn’t warrant using necromancy!”
The dragonman youngster also saw Cang Xu’s deep red eyes, and his thoughts stirred, “Something is wrong with Cang Xu!”
Cang Xu’s eyes were scarlet red, he was howling constantly, and his bursting killing intent terrified everyone.
His reason hadn’t lessened one bit.
The agreement’s power only twisted his will.
