Chapter 391 Flarela's Bargaining Chip
"Ordinary pets are not lacking, but this kind is. However, this matter is not urgent; we can talk about it in detail later." Lin Shen, seeing Ouyang Yudu use Death Powder for soul harvesting, along with Jiweis's restraining effects on dragons, had actually managed to subdue the Crimson Flame Starburst Dragon in one fell swoop, couldn't help but have his thoughts stirred once again.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Three-Headed Dragon with the Tri-Life Base had been coveted by Lin Shen for a long time. If he brought Ouyang Yudu with him later, there would probably be a great chance of taming it, right?
"Let's go back first and talk after we complete the mission," Lin Shen said, bending down to pick up Flarela, but then he saw her eyeballs moving up and down continuously.
"Do you want to speak?" Lin Shen asked, looking at Flarela.
Flarela's eyeballs stopped moving, then moved up and down again.
She was in terrible discomfort and had no idea what method Lin Shen had used on her, rendering her unable to speak a word, with nothing able to move but her eyeballs.
"What do you want to say?" Lin Shen stretched out his hand and pressed a point on Flarela, restoring only her ability to speak.
"Taking me back will bring you no benefit at all. You will still be regarded as heroes without any negative consequences. But if you let me go, I can offer you immense benefits," Flarela said straightforwardly.
"Continue," Lin Shen said, not bothering to waste words with her.
Indeed, as Flarela had said, taking her back would not bring much benefit to Lin Shen and his party, except for the reputation of capturing Flarela alive, which bore no substantial advantage.
On the contrary, the reputation of capturing Flarela alive might bring them more trouble instead.
Lin Shen was not a person who liked trouble. The only reason he had protected Flarela previously was to obtain the Fire Seed from her. Now that he had the Fire Seed, he actually didn't want to bring Flarela back alive; he was already contemplating how to kill her.
Flarela knew the true strength of the three of them, and revealing it would have some impact on them to some extent.
Wei Wufu didn't care, but he and Ouyang Yudu couldn't disregard this issue.
"If you want to achieve Nirvana, you must go to a high-level Base Mutation ground, but most of those high-level Base Mutation grounds are controlled by the major powerful tribes. Those kinds of grounds are not something outsiders can meddle with.
Even though you have made some contributions, just these contributions alone are unlikely to convince the Celestial Race to let you use those high-level Base Mutation grounds."
"I know of some secret high-level Base Mutation grounds that have not yet been discovered. Among them is one that can nurture mutation Nirvana Creatures, which I believe will certainly interest you," Flarela said.
"We are not interested," Lin Shen said as he moved to press a point on Flarela.
"How can this person not play by the rules!" Flarela hastily said, "Don't rush; listen to me first. That Base Mutation ground is genuinely special, beyond your imagination. You won't find many grounds throughout the entire universe that can compare to it."
Seeing that Lin Shen had stopped, Flarela continued, "Regular Base Mutation grounds can only breed one species. It's impossible for two species to be bred within the same ground, right?"
"Continue," Lin Shen had no desire to interact with Flarela.
"The Base Mutation site I discovered gave rise to four different types of mutated Nirvana Creatures. Have you ever heard of such a Base Mutation site?" Seeing that the three people were only looking at her coldly with no intention of speaking, Flarela could only continue awkwardly, "I stumbled upon that Base Mutation site by chance.
I originally planned to use it myself, but if you're willing to let me go, we could share the Base Mutation site."
"You think a benefit that small will get us to let you go?" Lin Shen curled his lip, showing no interest whatsoever in the Base Mutation site that Flarela mentioned.
Flarela could only helplessly say, "Think about it carefully. If you take me back alive, everyone will know that you have the ability to capture Flarela alive. Then, countless talents from various clans will want to defeat you to make a name for themselves. The troubles will be endless. If you keep winning, certain individuals within the Celestial Race may not be able to tolerate you.
If you lose, will the Celestial Race still value you? Taking me back will only harm you without any benefit, and my life would be worse than death. It would be better for you to kill me now; at least that would be an easier fate."
"Don't attack, I haven't finished speaking yet," Flarela saw Lin Shen draw the Archangel's Sword and aim to stab her in the chest without saying a word, and she hurriedly shouted.
Flarela felt that these people were like ghosts, seemingly devoid of normal human logic, which was extremely discomforting for her.
"Any last words?" asked Lin Shen, feeling that what Flarela said was correct and in line with his own thoughts.
Since Flarela herself sought death, it served him right to send her off without need for any further excuses.
Flarela opened her mouth but was at a loss for words.
She had only wanted to express that she did not fear death, hoping that Lin Shen and his companions would not threaten her with life and death.
But Lin Shen wanted to send her off directly, and she could tell that Lin Shen truly intended to do so and was not just trying to scare her.
Watching the three people silently staring at her, showing no intention of communicating, even Flarela, who had lived for more than four hundred years, felt a shiver in her heart.
"What kind of wandering spirits and wild ghosts are these people? They have no sense of propriety whatsoever," Flarela sighed lightly, "You have heard of the legend of the Ancient Realm King and The Three Treasure Chests, haven't you?"
Seeing the three people still looking at her expressionlessly, their eyes seemingly watching a comedian performing a dull act, made Flarela feel like a clown.
Flarela looked at Lin Shen and said, "If you have any connection with Zhengzong, then I can tell you a secret. This is a secret that Zhengzong, or you, would want to know."
"Go on," Lin Shen could not help but be intrigued.
After hesitating for a moment, Flarela continued, "About a decade or so ago, I encountered a human who looked somewhat like Zhengzong, and you too. I think Zhengzong must have had some connections with that person, and it's very possible that he joined the Di Man Tribe because of that human."
"Unfortunately, even if that person earned the trust of the Greed Monarch, the Greed Monarch would not tell him about that individual, for that person's matters are related to the Ancient Realm King's inheritance, and the Greed Monarch would not share that information with anyone," Flarela spoke slowly, "To my knowledge, that person not only visited our Di Man Tribe but also several other powerful clans, convincing the leaders, including the seven kings of our Di Man Tribe, to follow him to a certain place.
In the end, out of the seven kings, only three returned. I've heard there have been mysterious disappearances of top warriors from several other clans as well."
"I know where that place is, we can cooperate," Flarela said slowly, locking eyes with Lin Shen.
