Chapter 771 The Nature of the World
“No, that’s the treasure that we subdued!”
“Why? What’s gotten into these battle spirits? Why are they suddenly choosing to be sycophants?”
“This is so weird. No wonder the Su family only sent the four of them in. It turns out that they have a good way of dealing with battle spirits!” “This is incredible. We seem to have discovered a big secret!”
Everyone in the Tie family was shocked and surprised. What they were seeing challenged everything they knew. However, they were undoubtedly excited to see so many battle spirits.
“Hehe, it doesn’t matter how the Su family did it. It’s careless of them to send so few people in here. They won’t be able to protect so many treasures at all! All their treasures will belong to us, the Tie family!”
Master Tie stared at the battle spirits excitedly as if he was seeing the rising of the Tie family before his eyes. He was certain these treasures were enough to make the Tie Family rise rapidly!
“Master Tie, I’ll go ahead first!” said the elder of the Tie family before he immediately rushed over. In addition to him, the five other cultivators from the Tie family also followed closely behind him. Together, they encircled Nanan and the others, looking at them with wolf-like eyes.
The elder from the Tie family was a second-step Wisdom Elite, while the other five cultivators were first-step Wisdom Elites. Hence, their combat power should not be underestimated.
The elder of the Tie family cupped his fist in a salute and said with a half-smile, “Greetings, friends of the Su family.”
“Hello, how can we help you?” asked Dragin curiously.
“Just now, two of our treasures suddenly lost control and infiltrated your group. Please, return them to us,” said the elder of the Tie family. He did not want to embarrass the Tie family by saying that the treasures were stolen.
“You mean the things behind us?” Dragin glanced back and then said casually, “You’ve misunderstood. These things aren’t ours at all. You don’t need to tell us, just take them away.” ‘Huh? It’s not theirs? We can just take them away?’ Everyone in the Tie family was stunned and there were question marks written all over their faces. ‘Can we really just take these treasures?’
Originally, they were prepared to be rejected by Dragin. It would have given them a just cause for engaging in a battle with them. However, it never occurred to them that Dragin would give away the treasures just like that. ‘Oh well, this saved us a lot of trouble. They must’ve heard how powerful we are.’
The elder from the Tie family smiled proudly and cocked his head at the treasures. Immediately, the five cultivators rushed over to the treasures. ‘Since you said these treasures aren’t yours, there should be nothing wrong with us taking them all, right?’
However, just when they were about to get their hands on the treasures, the expressions of the originally well-behaved battle spirits suddenly changed. There was a battle spirit who was a petite snow-white kitten. It had been looking at Nanan and Dragin cutely, but when the people of the Tie family wanted to touch it, its body suddenly swelled up and it turned into a white tiger. It then savagely slammed down its powerful paws on the Tie family members!
All the battle spirits that the Tie family wanted to get their hands on instantly launched a frenzy of attacks on them. These battle spirits contained the power of the treasures and their abilities had their own merits. Suddenly, the scene was full of danger and chaos.
Even if Master Tie, a third-step Wisdom Elite, joined in the battle, it would still take him a lot of effort to suppress the battle spirits. What’s more to say about this group of people. Their greed caused them to become careless and they were instantly sent flying by the battle spirits, spewing blood everywhere. One of them was the most pitiful. He had taken a fancy to a flower-shaped battle spirit and rushed over recklessly. The flower suddenly opened its disproportionately large mouth, causing the space to be distorted. In a blink of an eye, the man was swallowed and was never to be seen again.
After picking off the Tie family one by one, the battle spirits roared before they then transformed back into their original harmless and cute forms, looking all innocent as if the bloodbath that just before had nothing to do with them.
In a blink of an eye, the elder and the five cultivators of the Tie family were all lying palely on the ground, either dead or wounded. The smiles on the faces of the rest of the Tie family had all disappeared.
“So, the battle spirits will attack after all!”
“But what makes the Su family so special that they didn’t attack them?”.
“They seem to be telling us to get lost, and not to force them to ruin their cute image!”
“Why are they trying to act cute for the Su family?”
“I can’t tell whether they’re being fake or real.”
The expressions of everyone in the Tie family changed drastically and a storm was surging in their hearts. After racking their brains, they still could not figure out why the battle spirits were acting that way. They were even beginning to question their own worldviews.
Young Master Tie stared at Nanan and the others. He shouted, “Why are these battle spirits following you? And why won’t they attack you?!”
“How should I know? Take them away quickly since you seem to like them so much. I find them really annoying,” said Nanan.
Young Master Tie’s face turned white, then red, and then green from shock, anger, and envy. His entire body kept shaking. ‘She must be kidding, right? Doesn’t she know just how lucky she is to have so many battle spirits following her willingly? They must be showing off just to piss us off.’
Young Master Tie pointed at Nanan and the others and said aggressively, “Stop playing dumb and quickly tell us why this is. I can spare you all if you destroy your own cultivation!”
Instantly, everyone in the Tie family revealed their auras, and their mana turned into rays of light, rising into the sky. They formed a sense of oppression that rushed toward Nanan and others.
“You guys are crazy! Why are you fighting us when we already said you can take the treasures?” Dragin scrunched up her face and patted the Milk Cow’s back. “Brave Cow, you’re
up.”
The Milk Cow stood unmoving and continued to chew on the grass while glancing at the people of the Tie family. This caused them to feel inexplicably nervous. However, before the Milk Cow could make a move, the 13 battle spirits behind them had already stepped forward and were all staring vehemently at the Tie family. The glow of the treasures was also flickering. They looked like they would launch an attack at the drop of a hat.
“What’s going on? These battle spirits not only won’t attack them, but they’re also protecting them!” “What makes them so special? Why do the battle spirits treat them differently? This is clearly breaking the rules of the Origins Pond of Holy Dimension!” “I don’t know why, but I suddenly see ourselves in these battle spirits…”
“Yeah, the way they’re fawning over them is the same way we’re fawning over them!”
“Gah! It pains me to know that the treasures we so cherished are nothing but bootlickers to others.”
“I realize that the nature of the world’s made up of a hierarchy of bootlickers!”
