Chapter 193 Thousands Of Miles To Give Away Someone’S Head
Chapter 193: Sending a Head a Thousand Miles Away
When people are making important decisions, they often think carefully.
Zhang Chi believed that the Red Carp Monster King must have carefully considered the pros and cons before making her decision, but in the end, she would most likely choose to die rather than submit.
She wasn't acting purely on impulse; she had at least weighed the pros and cons before making her decision.
What drove her to make this decision was her resistance to Zhang Chi and her concern for the Sea Monster Race.
These two factors seemed to each account for half of her decision.
If Zhang Chi suddenly resolved the hidden danger of the Sea Monster Race, the balance in the Red Carp Monster King's heart would quickly tilt towards the other side.
Then, this question would silently transform from whether or not to "volunteer" to whether or not Zhang Chi could solve the problem of the Sea Monster Race, and directly determine whether she would "volunteer".
If Zhang Chi didn't play any tricks, then he would have more problems to solve.
In addition to resolving the hidden danger of the Sea Monster, he would also have to resolve her resistance in her heart, and perhaps agree to many other conditions before Hong Li would agree.
That kind of transaction would be quite unfavorable.
Hong Li completely failed to realize that she had been led into a trap by Zhang Chi's rhetoric. When she heard that Zhang Chi had a way to solve the threat of the Sea Monster, she held back what she was about to say.
"What method do you have to solve it?"
"It's simple. After I've replenished my cultivation, I'll send you back. As long as you never give in to him, how can he know if you're pure or not?"
The Red Carp Monster King was stunned on the spot. Could it really be done this way?
"I see that you don't seem to like that Ao Yue either. You wouldn't really want to be faithful to him, would you?"
Zhang Chi further shook Hong Li's heart.
Of course, Hong Li didn't like Ao Yue. She liked Qinghe. They had grown up together and both cultivated into monsters, with deep feelings for each other.
Ao Yue was just a tool for a political marriage, and Zhang Chi was right. She really didn't need to be faithful to Ao Yue.
However, Zhang Chi's words also had obvious loopholes. The Red Carp Monster King immediately retorted, "If we just drag it out, we can only drag it out for a while, not forever. The longer we drag it out, the angrier the Sea Monster Race will be once they find out the truth."
"If we drag it out until we can't anymore, why not just rebel directly? How can a man live under others' control for a long time? Did you really plan to marry Ao Yue?"
When Hong Li heard Zhang Chi's words, a certain part of her heart suddenly ignited.
She had always resisted marrying Ao Yue; it was just an exchange of interests.
But Ao Yue was too foolish, which she really disliked.
However, she had been under the control of others since she was young, and this marriage was originally made under semi-coercion.
If it weren't for the protection of her ancestors, she would have been completely taken advantage of long ago, and she wouldn't have her current status.
"But Sea Monster Race has treated me well. How can I betray them?"
"They have been good to you only because they want to profit from you. When it comes to life and death, why do you care about others?"
This seemed to make sense.
Zhang Chi's persuasion gradually changed Hong Li's thoughts.
Yes, she never really wanted to marry Ao Yue. She was just forced onto this path.
If that's the case, what else is there to hesitate about?
Betraying the Sea Monster, isn't it better to be in charge herself?
The strength of the Sea Monster Race is certainly not something she can provoke, but as long as she expands her influence to the land, the Sea Monster Race wouldn't dare to come and trouble her.
This was the agreement between the human race, the monster race, and the Sea Monster.
Matters in the sea are the responsibility of the Sea Monster, while matters on land are the responsibility of the land. Crossing the boundary without permission is strictly forbidden.
Therefore, even if the Red Carp Monster King betrayed the Sea Monster Race, as long as she could establish herself on the mainland, the Sea Monster Race wouldn't dare to come ashore for revenge.
Thinking of all this, the Red Carp Monster King's eyes gradually lit up.
She was happy to have found a way to deal with the Sea Monster, but she seemed to subconsciously ignore the fact that if she agreed to the conditions, she would have to "volunteer" to Zhang Chi.
She had already been convinced by Zhang Chi, and she even wished to immediately return and rebel.
Once the dispute was resolved, the previous agreement would no longer be a problem.
Under Zhang Chi's urging, the Red Carp Monster King willingly released her protective bubble.
Although there was still a belt hindering her, it couldn't stop Zhang Chi.
And it turned out that the clothes couldn't be untied, but it had its own unique flavor.
When Gu Youyou woke up, she found Zhang Chi still exploring. She thought that she hadn't rested for long this time, so she naturally didn't know about the bubble.
After a night passed, Zhang Chi released the Red Carp Monster King as promised, removed the restrictions on her body, and hurriedly returned to Little Warehouse Mountain.
The Red Carp Monster King felt sore all over and felt like her body had been emptied.
Fortunately, her water spirit body and dragon blood were not things that could be completely depleted with just one replenishment. Given some time, she would slowly recover.
But now the Red Carp Monster King's intelligence gradually returned, and she suddenly realized something.
She had "voluntarily" satisfied Zhang Chi, but she hadn't gained any benefits. She had only regained her freedom.
Why did she still feel like Zhang Chi had given her guidance?
Furthermore, in the future, she would have to fight against the Sea Monster Race on her own. Zhang Chi didn't help her at all.
In short, she had been taken advantage of for nothing.
Thinking of this, the Red Carp Monster King couldn't help but grit her teeth in anger.
"Damn it, I will remember you. One day, I will repay the humiliation you inflicted on me a hundredfold!"
Zhang Chi absorbed her essence, so naturally he had her aura. When she becomes stronger in the future, she will be able to find him through her aura.
A gentleman takes revenge, but it's never too late.
However, even though she spoke harshly, she didn't dare to chase after him. She could only use the remaining Monstrous Power to heal her body.
On the other side, Zhang Chi acted as if nothing had happened and returned to Little Warehouse Mountain. Gu Youyou was puzzled and asked, "Why didn't you take her Beast Core?"
Plant Monsters have Monster Seeds, and animal monsters have Beast Cores. These are the lifeblood of the Monster Race. Controlling their lifeblood is equivalent to controlling the entire Monster Race.
"A person without integrity cannot be trusted. I promised to only absorb her essence, so I let her go. It would be too despicable to do anything else."
Gu Youyou: "......"
He was right, and it made sense, but how could these words come out of his mouth?
Have you been possessed by a demon in the past day?
Gu Youyou remained silent, and Zhang Chi knew she must be silently criticizing him in her heart.
Stupid woman, after following him for so long, she still couldn't see through his thoughts. She dared to secretly criticize him. He would remember this grudge and seek revenge in the future.
If possible, Zhang Chi would definitely not let the Red Carp Monster King off the hook.
She was a powerful Divine Ability level expert. Those who fought outside usually only reached the Divine Ability Realm.
It was not easy to witness a fight between higher-level experts.
However, Zhang Chi knew that there was a limit to everything.
He could be a ruthless person as long as he could control the other party.
He could do that, but there would definitely be hidden dangers.
The Red Carp Monster King was proud and arrogant. If he bullied her too much, she might have some desperate means.
So, he decided to stop while he was ahead.
Moreover, the other party's cultivation level was high and not easy to control.
Zhang Chi decided to only probe and not do anything else.
The Water Spirit Body was enough.
However, capturing the Red Carp Monster King this time was an unexpected gain.
Her Water Spirit Body was exceptionally pure. After being absorbed by Zhang Chi, the small ball inside him gradually changed color.
The blue area began to increase, looking more and more like a model of a planet.
In addition to accelerating the absorption of Wood Spirit Qi, the Innate Breathing Technique could also accelerate the absorption of Water Spirit Qi.
Apart from the Water Spirit Body, Zhang Chi was also surprised by the effect of bathing in dragon blood.
Dragon blood could strengthen the physical body and improve one's aptitude. Although Zhang Chi didn't intentionally absorb dragon blood, since it was there, he didn't mind taking a little more.
When he returned to Little Warehouse Mountain, he immediately felt the immediate effect.
A true immediate effect.
"How can I meet people in this state? I should cultivate for a few days and resolve it first."
Zhang Chi had a heavy burden as an idol. He could die, but he couldn't die socially.
To be continued...
After resting for two days, the Red Carp Monster King fully recovered and hurriedly left.
Originally, she planned to go to Little Warehouse Mountain to annihilate the Sword Sect and avenge Qinghe. But now, she was a bit hesitant.
The Human Territory was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. She had been attacked by powerful experts twice because she followed Zhang Chi.
Of course, she didn't think it had anything to do with Zhang Chi.
If Zhang Chi had two such powerful people by his side, the Sword Sect wouldn't need him to barely maintain it.
The Red Carp Monster King felt that she was just unlucky, but the more she felt it was due to bad luck, the more she felt dissatisfied.
If it weren't for the fear that the creepy guy might be lurking nearby, the Red Carp Monster King wouldn't have given up.
"Forget it, I'll settle this grudge later. I should go back now and come up with an excuse to fool Ao Yue. If I don't go back, it will be troublesome."
After recovering her Monstrous Power, the Red Carp Monster King found a water area and used her ability to travel freely before hurriedly leaving the Human Territory.
Recalling the experiences of this trip, the Red Carp Monster King couldn't help but shed tears.
She hadn't been out for long, but as soon as she arrived in Raging Flame City, she discovered Zhang Chi and Long Yan.
She planned to follow and kill them, but she ended up fighting Wenren Li and running away without a clear victory or defeat. That night, she encountered Gu Youyou and was then imprisoned for a night and a day.
Finally, after a day and a night, she was able to escape.
She had underestimated the heroes of the world. She thought that under Dao Integration, no one could harm her, and above Dao Integration, she had a chance to escape.
Who knew she would encounter such a setback and be taken advantage of by Zhang Chi.
On this trip, she didn't accomplish anything and only lost her inherited dragon blood.
The more Hong Li thought about it, the angrier and sadder she became. Tears streamed down her face as she returned to Dragon River.
Before she could emerge from the water, she heard the sound of intense fighting.
This place was near Sanzhe Bay.
What's going on? Are they fighting?
Hong Li quickly ended her ability to travel freely and emerged to observe. She saw countless Water Monsters who had broken through the defenses of Sanzhe Bay and were attacking Pill Cauldron Sect with all their might...
