Chapter 2396: Coercion and Bribery of Jerry
"Now that the human race with the bounty is in our hands, why are we hiding it instead of bypassing the clan leader and redeeming the bounty directly?"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on the face of the Armadillo Elder gradually disappeared: "What did you just say? I am old and hard of hearing! Can you say it again?"
"Great Elder, please forgive me. I was the one who spoke too much!"
This is a damned sure-fire question! If Lu Yun does what he is told, only one of him and the Great Armadillo Elder can leave this adobe house today.
"Boy, do you know why I tried every possible means to stop the clan leader from accepting the reward when I heard him say that he wanted to take it?"
Lu Yun shook his head: "I am stupid and don't know what the elder thinks!"
"Humph! You know it! You just don't dare to say it because you're afraid that I'll blame you!" The Armadillo Elder looked like he could see through people's hearts: "But I'm telling you clearly that your idea is wrong. I'm not interested in this bullshit at all!"
"The bounty for the Sky-Swallowing Marten Clan has just been announced, and this human race is about to pass through our territory! The clan leader and other elders believe that this bounty is a gift from heaven to our Ghost Armadillo Clan!"
Hearing this, Lu Yun and Jerry subconsciously looked at each other, and both saw surprise and astonishment in each other's eyes.
They both thought that the mastermind behind all this was the Dragon Clan, but they didn't expect it to be the Sky-Swallowing Marten Clan.
After all, the sonic leopards that attacked them last night were all alchemically transformed on their physical bodies. This was clearly the alchemical technology controlled by the Long Xiao Alchemy Room!
"Why do you all have such expressions? I have only just begun, and I haven't even gotten to the point yet! If you are like this, you need to improve your mental endurance!"
The Armadillo Elder's gaze jumped back and forth between Lu Yun and Jerry.
"Yes! I will follow the Great Elder's teachings!" Lu Yun swallowed his saliva and suppressed the doubts in his heart for the time being. Maybe he could get more information from the chatterbox Armadillo Great Elder.
"No matter how you look at it, this is a blessing from heaven for our Ghost Armadillo clan, but in my opinion, this is a disaster, a death warrant that will open the gates of hell!"
The great armadillo elder shouted at the top of his lungs: "Let's not talk about it for now. Will the powerful Sky-Swallowing Marten Clan go back on their word and rob us?"
"Secondly, starting from our territory, whether we are heading to the Tiantian Marten Clan's Marten Alchemy Room or their territory, there are tens of thousands of miles between us! We need to pass through countless territories of other species."
"With our slow marching speed on the ground, it's a blessing for us to be able to get out of the territory of the Gray Steel Hyena Clan who are eyeing us covetously!"
"Tell me, if this isn't a death warrant for our clan, then what is it?"
After listening to the analysis of the Armadillo Elder, Lu Yun and Jerry nodded unconsciously.
Indeed, for the Ghost Armadillo clan, they seem to be a time bomb.
"But no matter how I talk to the clan leader and other elders, they are like possessed and won't listen to anything I say! They also say that I am old and short-sighted and don't have the fighting spirit I used to have. In my opinion, they are blinded by the generous bounty and only think about how to rise to the top of their lives after collecting the bounty!"
The Armadillo Elder sighed and said, "Alas! So this old man can only resort to this last resort!"
"But!" Then he changed the subject: "Your performance far exceeded my expectations!"
"This is what we should do, Great Elder!"
To be honest, Lu Yun sincerely admired the Great Elder Armadillo.
For the sake of racial justice, I am willing to bear the infamy!
"You two remember this! This matter is known only to heaven and earth, you know it, and I know it, but you must not let other members of the tribe know about it!"
The Armadillo elder said solemnly: "After this matter is over, I will personally explain everything to the clan leader."
"After burying the body, you should leave here quickly! Find a place to hide for a while. Remember, you haven't seen me today, and I haven't been here!"
"Don't worry, Great Elder."
Lu Yun agreed immediately.
Looking at the elderly figure leaving, Lu Yun slowly closed the door.
"What are your thoughts? Tell me!?"
Lu Yun looked at Jerry who remained silent.
"What can I think? The Sky-Swallowing Marten Clan put a bounty on you, not me."
"What are you doing?" Looking at Lu Yun walking towards him quickly, Jerry covered his face reflexively.
But Lu Yun just put his paw on Jerry's forehead and touched it, which made Jerry feel uncomfortable.
"Lu... Lu Yun! If you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need... no need to get all fancy!"
Lu Yun retracted his claws: "Then tell me, why can you say such cold words with a body temperature of 37 degrees!"
Jerry: "..."
"Shit! I thought you were going to do something? Turns out you were just taking my temperature!"
"Besides, I am not a creature of flesh and blood. My body temperature can change at will. Tell me, at what temperature can you say such cold words!"
Lu Yun rolled his eyes: "Boring! You deserve to be an alchemical creature. You have no emotional intelligence at all!"
"In my opinion, this bounty is ostensibly for me, but it is very likely a diversion by the Sky-Swallowing Marten Clan! The actual target of the bounty is you!"
Jerry's heart skipped a beat: "You... why do you say that? Do you have any evidence?"
"Think about it, if the Sky-Swallowing Marten Clan offered a bounty for an alchemical creation, some races would be afraid of something about the alchemical creation and would not participate in it! Here, the great elder of the Armadillo Clan just said that the Sky-Swallowing Marten Clan's territory and their Marten Explosion Alchemy Room are very far away from here. As the absolute overlord of the Sky Island Ring, how did they notice a tiny human cultivator like me?"
"You mean the Falcon Alchemy Room!" Jerry said subconsciously.
Lu Yun smiled mysteriously: "That's right! As the only two people who survived the Falcon Alchemy Room, you and I, who do you think is more valuable and can attract the interest of those crazy alchemists?"
Jerry subconsciously pointed his finger at Lu Yun, and then he unconfidently retracted his claws and pointed them at himself.
"And don't forget, you were the one who killed the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Not only do I know about this, but the Demon Eagle Clan may also know about it after checking. So, do you think that after checking, the alchemists of the Sky-Swallowing Marten Clan will think that this was caused by a human cultivator?"
Jerry swallowed and broke out in a cold sweat.
Seeing this, Lu Yun closed his mouth in satisfaction!
Regardless of whether the Sky-Swallowing Marten Clan offers a bounty on him or not, Lu Yun must drag this partner who is full of secrets into the water.
