Chapter 169 - 169 The Scent Of Treasure
169 The Scent Of Treasure
F*ck! What was going on?
Should he not be in his own territory?
Wang Mang was also a little confused.
He had originally decided to take the sea route, which was safer.
To do that, he would have to pass through either South Yun Province or the West Guang Province.
However, there were many demon kings in the South Yun Province.
Thus, for convenience’s sake, Wang Mang followed the map and chose to enter the sea route through the West Guang Province.
Encountering the Black Bear Demon King was not part of his plan. However, looking at this fellow’s appearance, he seemed to be in a very sorry state.
Incidentally, he was running desperately toward Wang Mang.
This was not because he had discovered Wang Mang, but rather because he wanted to escape back to his own territory.
While Wang Mang was feeling puzzled, the system’s voice rang out.
[Ding! The system has detected a treasure! The host is given the following mission options!]
[Mission 1: Ignore the treasure and the Black Bear Demon King!]
[Mission Time: Until completion]
[Mission Reward: 2,000 evolution value]
…
[Mission 2: Take advantage of others while they are in danger! Attack the Black Bear Demon King!]
[Mission Time: Until completion]
[Mission Reward: 3,000 evolution value]
…
[Mission 3: Whoever sees it gets a share! Take the opportunity to ask the Black Bear Demon King for the treasure!”
[Mission Time: Until completion]
[Mission Reward: 5,000 evolution value]
…
After seeing this, Wang Mang was astonished.
He had not expected the Black Bear Demon King to have obtained a treasure.
This was definitely why he was out here in the middle of nowhere.
However, Wang Mang could not see the treasure.
Oh well, it was not as if the system would lie to him.
Thinking this, he immediately made a choice.
“System, I choose Mission 3!”
[Ding! Congratulations! Mission selection was successful! Please complete the mission as soon as possible to obtain the reward!]
Wang Mang was in a great mood!
Was this the benefit of increasing his luck value?
Something good happened the moment he set off?
Luck truly was omnipotent!
When the Black Bear Demon King approached…
“Brother Black Bear, what’s wrong with you?” Wang Mang hurriedly shouted.
Upon hearing this, the fleeing Black Bear Demon King hurriedly turned to look at Wang Mang.
When he saw Wang Mang, he was delighted.
He was currently being chased by other demon kings!
As such, running into Wang Mang was truly fortuitous.
Therefore, in his joy, he hurriedly shouted, “Brother Python! Help me block the demon kings behind me. I’ll owe you a favor!”
Clearly, the Black Bear Demon King wanted to use Wang Mang to help him escape the pursuit!
Moreover, this guy did not even mention a single word about the treasure!
Wang Mang immediately stepped forward to intercept him and said with a smile, “Brother Black Bear, the medicinal fragrance surrounding your body is very strong! Did you get something good?”
Upon hearing this, the Black Bear Demon King was alarmed, and immediately turned vigilant.
However, he feigned ignorance and said to Wang Mang, “Brother Python, I’m afraid your nose is faulty!”
“I’m not talking to you anymore! I gotta run!”
With that said, the Black Bear Demon King immediately turned to leave.
However, Wang Mang once again blocked his path.
Upon seeing this, the Black Bear Demon King became furious.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard a few angry roars behind him.
“Black-hearted bear, where are you running off to?”
This voice immediately attracted Wang Mang’s attention, and he saw a few demons exuding powerful auras rushing over from a distance.
There was a huge and ugly toad, a two-meter-long black scorpion that seemed to be wearing armor, as well as a two-meter-long, huge, furry black spider.
Although these guys did not look big, their demon king aura was unmistakable.
Perhaps they had chosen not to reveal their true form because it was daytime.
Wang Mang was stunned.
How had the Black Bear Demon King managed to provoke three venomous demon kings?
At the same time, after seeing these three fellows chasing after him, the Black Bear Demon King glared at Wang Mang with resentment.
If Wang Mang had not stopped him, how could he have been caught?
Moreover, the Black Bear Demon King had finally realized that nothing good happened every time he met Wang Mang!
The last time he carried the Stone Demon King’s corpse back and ate it, it did not increase his strength.
At that time, he was furious and wanted to settle the score with Wang Mang. However, he then remembered that the treasure that the three demon kings were guarding in West Guang Province were about to mature.
Thus, he had given up on the idea of settling the score with Wang Mang and had instead sneaked over here to steal it.
Furthermore, he had been successful!
However, before he could enjoy it, Wang Mang appeared and stood in his way.
At the thought of this, he could not help but curse Wang Mang inwardly.
He could not fall out with him openly, especially when he still needed Wang Mang’s help to resolve this predicament.
“Black-hearted bear! You motherf*cker! You actually came to steal our treasure. It seems that you’re not afraid of death!”
“Hurry up and hand over the Thousand Poison Grass King. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being ruthless!” The three venomous demon kings shouted angrily.
Seeing this, Wang Mang finally understood what was going on.
What a good fellow!
The Black Bear Demon King had actually stolen someone else’s treasure!
Furthermore, it had to be an extraordinary treasure to be guarded by three demon kings!
What surprised Wang Mang was that the Black Bear Demon King had actually been successful in stealing it.
This guy was really talented when it came to underhanded things!
The Black Bear Demon King ignored Wang Mang’s incredulous, but mocking gaze.
Instead, he looked at Wang Mang and said proudly, “How about it Brother Python?”
“Let’s kill them together. I’ll take 80% of the treasure and you’ll take 20%. I’ll take two of these demon kings, and you can take the remaining one.”
“Is that good enough, Brother Python?”
