Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Romo now understood why the giant python would fight with the Five-Color Peacock. It turned out that it wanted to snatch the egg of the Five-Color Peacock. It was difficult for Five-Color Peacocks to reproduce. Their eggs were not like chicken eggs, which could be laid one per day. Once the Five-Color Peacock matured, it would become a level-6 creature with great strength. Their eggs were all condensed with their own powerful life force and magical power. To the giant python, they were equivalent to magical pills. If the giant python had eaten the egg of the Five-Color Peacock, it would have great benefits. It could even break through level-6 immediately and become a powerful existence of level-7. Because of this, when the giant python discovered that there was the egg of a Five-Color Peacock here, it temporarily left the spirit spring and came here. It did not even hesitate to fight with the Five-Color Peacock to obtain the egg.
Previously, the python had left the Five-Color Peacock to pursue Romo, and the Five-Color Peacock had not attacked the python together with Romo because it wanted to protect its egg. The Five-Color Peacock was very intelligent. The reason why it did not attack the python was actually because it wanted the python and the human to kill each other. It would be best if they perished together. In this way, it and its child would be completely safe. However, it had not expected that Romo, who was clearly as strong as it and the python, would actually be able to kill the python in such a short period of time. This was what made it most frightened. Now that this human had come here to say good things to it, it also did not know what he wanted to do. However, no matter what he wanted to do, it could not listen to a human because humans were the best liar. The Five-Color Peacock thought.
At this moment, Romo said, “However, shouldn’t you thank me for helping you kill this stupid snake? Furthermore, when I was fighting with this snake earlier, you did not seem to have helped. This is a little unkind.”!!
When the Five-Color Peacock heard this, it instantly became even more alert. Indeed, this human would not be so kind as to help it. Now, was he about to reveal his true nature?
Romo saw that the Five-Color Peacock was not cooperating at all and felt a little disappointed. He said, “Forget it, I’ll tell you directly. I want to discuss something with you.”
The caution in the eyes of the Five-Color Peacock became more intense.
Romo took out a Magical Beast Core that was as black as ink and said, “Look, this is the crystal core of that giant python. I can give this crystal core to you. I think this crystal core should be very useful to you.”
Seeing the crystal core of the giant python in Romo’s hand, the eyes of the Five-Color Peacock lit up instantly. It was obvious that it wanted this crystal core very much. Seeing this, Romo immediately added and said, “Apart from this giant python crystal core, I can also let you advance to level-7 immediately!”
The Five-Color Peacock looked at Romo warily and also expectantly. It heard Romo say, “However, these are all conditional.”
Indeed, humans were not that kind-hearted. The caution in the Five-Color Peacock’s eyes became more intense. Seeing this, Romo hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to be my mount. I have a family, and I want you to be the Guardian Spirit Beast of my family clan. What do you think?”
“Chirp ~ ~ ~ ~”
The Five-Color Peacock was stunned for a moment before it let out an angry cry. It was obvious that it was refusing. “What dogsh*t Guardian Spirit Beast? Isn’t this the same as a mount? In any case, I will be subject to the whims of you humans. I won’t do it.”
“Calm down, calm down!” Romo hurriedly said, “Am I not discussing this with you? Don’t be angry. I’ve already explained all the benefits that I will give you in advance.” Romo pointed at the carcass of the python on the ground and said, “Moreover, if I had not killed the python, you might have been the one to die eventually in the battle between you and the python. As you had to protect your egg, you would have been distracted. But the python would not have been so. In this case, if you had died, the python would have eaten your Magical Beast Core, and your egg would also have been eaten. It was my appearance that saved you and your egg. I’m your benefactor. What’s wrong with repaying me?”
“Chirp ~ ~ ~ ~”
“Alright, alright.” Romo’s smile remained as he continued, “If you’re still so irritable, I can catch you directly and force you to sign a Spirit Beast contract. Even if this doesn’t work out, I can also kill you and remove your Magical Beast Core. Then, I can take away your egg and nurture it into a Guardian Spirit Beast.”
“Chirp ~ ~ ~”
Before Romo could finish speaking, the Five-Color Peacock was instantly enraged. As it let out an angry roar, it mustered all its magical power and pressed down on Romo with the aura of a peak level-6.
Romo’s gaze turned cold. The magical power in his body also erupted at the same time, and he was even more powerful than the other party. Boom, boom, boom. Although this man and bird did not fight it out directly, the collision of their auras still emitted a loud sonic boom. In the end, the aura of the Five-Color Peacock was completely crushed by Romo. Its raised head was also slowly suppressed by Romo’s aura.
Romo walked step by step toward the Five-Color Peacock with a powerful aura like that of a mountain. He walked in front of the Five-Color Peacock and stood in front of its head. He looked down at it and said, “Look, I’m strong enough to do what I said. Now, I can easily kill you, take your egg, and hatch a Guardian Spirit Beast that is completely loyal to me.”
When the Five-Color Peacock, which had already been suffocated by Romo’s aura, heard that Romo was about to take away its egg, it immediately activated its magical power again, as if it wanted to perish together with Romo. Romo hurriedly said, “Of course, this is only a hypothesis. As long as you become our family’s Guardian Spirit Beast, I definitely won’t touch your egg.”
Upon hearing Romo’s words, the magical power which the Five-Color Peacock had just incited gradually calmed down. Romo continued, “And it is only for a duration of a hundred years. To you, this hundred years is just a very short period of time, right? Once the time is up, I will give you your freedom again. I can write this in the Spirit Beast contract. I won’t lie to you. Also, I will honor all the benefits I have promised you previously. Are you agreeable to the conditions?”
After having been hit with a stick and then offered sufficient sweet treats by Romo, the magical power in the Five-Color Peacock’s body completely calmed down. And its eyes, which were full of intelligence, were flashing with the light of wisdom as it fell into deep thought.. Romo just smiled at it from the side. However, the Five-Color Peacock was very clear that this human was threatening it!
