Chapter 1760: Chapter 1760: There’s a Conspiracy

Old Yellow Bull found it difficult to speak, almost unable to open its mouth, but as Ji You ruthlessly pinched its ear, in that moment, Old Yellow Bull gritted its teeth, preparing to speak. However, just before blurting it out, it held back, putting on a show of being shocked by the news, its body swaying. Judging by its appearance alone, Old Yellow Bull was heartbroken, disappointed, and upset...

This scene was directly witnessed by the pair of Red Eyes across from them.

At this moment, Old Yellow Bull opened its mouth wide and bellowed, "Moo—"

[Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You must be lying to me, you’re a big liar! You really are a big liar!]

Red Eyes was choked up, not understanding why a beast would have such an outpouring of emotion. However, Old Yellow Bull’s display wasn’t entirely abrupt. Red Eyes pondered for a moment and explained, "I’m not lying to you, the Qing·Lv·Shi clan deliberately approached you with the intent of your body and blood."

"Moo—" Old Yellow Bull stepped back, glaring warily at the empty air, opening its mouth, and continued to howl, "Mou—"

[No!]

[I don’t believe it!]

[You’re a liar, I won’t trust you, I only trust my friend Old Green! Old Green is so good to me, even giving me green grass to eat, a place to live, and invites me home as a guest. How could they harm me?]

Seeing that this bull was not listening to reason, Red Eyes silently cursed it as a fool, but held its patience and said, "This is the reality. Everything they’ve done was to deceive your trust, then kill you to obtain your body and blood."

Old Yellow Bull was stunned.

Hiding behind Old Yellow Bull’s ear, Ji You was also taken aback, not only because of the sudden information the other party revealed but also because Old Yellow Bull’s performance was unexpectedly good. The acting was superb!

Ji You said, "Impossible! Why would Old Green want my body and blood? My body and blood aren’t delicious, nor edible."

Old Yellow Bull opened its mouth, "Moo—"

Red Eyes looked at the Two-headed Bull, hesitating to step forward, feeling a bit impatient mainly due to not being sure if there were any ambushes around. What if, after all the trouble of capturing this bull, someone intercepted it midway?

So, it had to be a quick decision!

To gain this bull’s trust, it seemed a strong dose was needed!

Thus—

Red Eyes decided to take the plunge and said, "If you don’t believe it, you can walk two steps forward to find out."

As the words fell.

Old Yellow Bull instantly took two steps back.

Red Eyes: "..."

"..." Ji You was dumbfounded, pondering if this enemy might be a bit foolish. It seemed even more simple-minded than Yue Qiguang. Saying such a thing was clearly telling Old Yellow Bull that a trap lay ahead.

Red Eyes obviously realized the foolish remark it made, its eyes sank as it said, "Because your body and blood serve as a highly valuable auxiliary material with great significance to the Qing·Lv·Shi clan."

Old Yellow Bull: "Moo!!!"

Ji You: "!!!!!!!"

At that instant, Old Yellow Bull was so frightened it almost bolted away!

[Oh my god~]

[Scary~]

As a Star Beast that had successfully lived for 200 years, was it easy? Was it easy? It strived to survive up until this point, certainly not to become someone else’s auxiliary material.

Old Yellow Bull decided to quit the act and was about to flee when Ji You promptly tugged on its ear: "Calm down."

Old Yellow Bull: "Moo~"

[Calm... calm down my ass!]

Ji You took a deep breath and said, "I don’t think Qing·Lv·Shi wants my body and blood; isn’t it you who wants it?"

Old Yellow Bull didn’t open its mouth.

Ji You patted it: "Speak."

Feeling slightly aggrieved, Old Yellow Bull still spoke.

Upon hearing this, Red Eyes was about to deny it but then reconsidered and said, "I indeed want your body and blood, but I don’t want to kill you. Besides, I only need a small part, just a tiny bit, which wouldn’t even cause you any injury."

Old Yellow Bull: "Moo—"

[Liar.]

Having lived 200 years, Old Yellow Bull had outlived even the ancestors of its ancestors... Was that experience all for nothing?

Meanwhile, Ji You was deeply shaken, finding that her speculation was indeed correct; these aliens were targeting Old Yellow Bull.

In that case, this was easy to handle!

Ji You narrowed her eyes because there were enemies ahead. She and Little Golden Dragon had been hiding behind Old Yellow Bull’s ear, relying on its natural thick skin and flesh, along with Ji You blocking her spiritual power to prevent external detection.

But, she couldn’t be sure whether the other side genuinely hadn’t discovered them, or had but was pretending not to notice.

Ji You said, "Thanks for telling me this, but I choose Old Green."

"..." Old Yellow Bull, initially quite frightened, hearing this human pest’s words, could imagine how furious the villain opposite would be!

Sure enough, as soon as Old Yellow Bull finished speaking, it felt the opponent’s mood change significantly.

In an instant, a wave of anger, from a distance, surged toward it. Old Yellow Bull was so scared it almost wanted to back out.

Just as Old Yellow Bull was about to abandon the act and was ready to flee at any moment, the atmosphere on the other side suddenly softened, then Old Yellow Bull heard a voice by its ear, a voice filled with helplessness and a sense of failure mixed with ’hate iron for not becoming steel’.

"In that case, I’ll let you go. Whenever you regret it, you can come back to find me."

Upon these words—

The airwave ahead began to ripple layer by layer. Old Yellow Bull tilted its head, unable to understand what had happened.

"I’ve already taken down the net, you can go."

Old Yellow Bull: "???

[Are you... k-cow-lying?]

Really took it down?

Old Yellow Bull thought it was absolutely impossible. It hadn’t done anything, just said a few words, and the other side really let it go?

Ji You was also stunned.

She stood still, not immediately testing if the net ahead had indeed been taken down, but waited a moment and said, "You really let me go? Is it not because you’ve suddenly detected an Old Green Life Line signal from me?"

Old Yellow Bull opened its mouth and repeated the statement.

Red Eyes, upon hearing this, suddenly widened its eyes!

Impossible?

Could it be that Qing·Lv·Shi really gave this bull the Life Line connection signal? It originally thought this bull was bluffing, but after a closer perception, it vaguely sensed a bit of the Life Line essence.

Now, the mood Red Eyes had just calmed down suddenly became more frantic!

What is Qing·Lv·Shi trying to do?

Trying to use others to kill?

The information regarding this bull was provided by Qing·Lv·Shi, and since Qing·Lv·Shi already settled this bull, why would they still be willing to share a part of the benefits, letting someone else in?

There must be a conspiracy!
