Imparting My Cultivation To Beasts Gets Me 10,000X In Return! Chapter 356 - Pre-emptive Strike

Chapter 356: Pre-emptive Strike



Shan’s pair of scarlet, savage eyes carefully sized up Lin Bai for a moment. A smile blossomed on his sinister face, causing it to become even more sinister:
“Kid, looks like you have a lot of secrets on you... For example, that small cauldron. For example, those spirit beasts behind you.
“However, don’t worry. As long as you help us, we can guarantee that no one from our side will covet your secrets while we allow you to rise to the top.”
Shan Xin was quick-witted. He immediately came to the conclusion that it wasn’t a wise move to recklessly engage in battle with Lin Bai and the others while Ran was injured. If he had been a little careless, it was fine if Ran died but he might suffer a setback as well.
However, if Lin Bai and the rest attacked him forcefully, Shan would not be afraid.
Shan was chosen to come to this world not only because he had a strong body and a fierce face... How many powerful people in this world did not have secrets?
Lin Bai understood Shan’s intention. He wanted to stall for some time so that he could recover.
Shan chose to stall for time alone and did not choose to run away. This meant that he was confident that he could fight Lin Bai and the rest. Hence, Lin Bai immediately ruled out the plan to attack rashly.
Lin Bai had a myriad of thoughts in his mind, but his face was as calm as water. It was so clear that one could see the bottom of it. There was even a smile on his lips that was charming.
“You’re right. I do have some secrets. Before I decide if I should help you or not, I still have a few questions...”
Lin Bai stopped mid-sentence.
The thin man and Bai Xi had different expressions as they looked at Lin Bai. No one knew what they were thinking about.
Shan’s ferocious face relaxed for a moment. He glanced at Ran from the corner of his eye. Ran’s injuries were recovering rapidly. He still needed some time:
“You can ask me. As long as you can answer, I can answer appropriately.”
“You are demons?”
“Demons?” Shan laughed dryly. “However, in your world, there is such a name... We are demons.”
“Therefore, you demons have long coveted this world, or rather, something from this world.
“You secretly sent a person here a long time ago, hiding here as your informant... and the appearance of the two of you is naturally the result of that person...”
Shan’s eyes flashed with a strange light, and the sinister smile on his face froze for a moment, not letting others notice anything unusual:
“As long as you agree to help us, you can know all these questions.”
Lin Bai nodded in his heart when he heard this, and he was even more certain of his guess.
The City Lord was a demon. The Shan and Ran in front of him were also demons. They were coveting this world, or rather, something in this world, and they were spending a large amount of time and manpower to obtain it…
It was the same for a demon to be driven away by interests.
But this ‘interest” was not as simple as Lin Bai had guessed. It should be a bigger hidden secret.
“Then I still have a few questions.” Lin Bai did not look surprised when he saw that Shan did not answer. Instead, he asked other questions with great interest.
The thin man and Bai Xi looked at Lin Bai again. Their expressions were different. The thin man lowered his gaze and returned to Lin Bai. He had something to say but was also worried.
Shan’s eyes lit up and he nodded. “You can say it.”
Ran’s injuries had already recovered by half. He would be able to use 80% of his strength in a short period of time. When that time came, he and Ran would be able to hold the initiative.
Lin Bai asked a few more questions about Ran and Shan. Among them, there was also a vague mention of the City Lord. However, Shan’s answers were exceptionally smooth. He did not mention anything that should not be mentioned at all. He did not allow Lin Bai to obtain any useful information.
However, one or two questions were still acceptable. Lin Bai kept asking questions, causing Shan to start mumbling in his heart... wasn’t I the one who should be stalling for time?!
Could it be that Lin Bai was meticulously planning some plan, and was intentionally stalling for some time with me?
No, no matter what plans he had, it would be useless! Moreover, from Lin Bai’s performance, he seemed to be a person with an extremely deep mind.
Then he should be able to guess my plan!
The more Shan replied, the more he muttered in his heart. The more he helped to stall for time, the more chaotic his heart became.
Shan’s scarlet eyes sized up the calm and composed Lin Bai, the pensive Bai Xi, and the nervous and hesitant skinny man..
Boom!
At this moment, a dazzling ball of fire attacked from above the darkness. It was like a sun falling onto the earth, carrying with it a heat wave that burned everything.
“It’s a trap!”
Shan shouted, “Not good!” He opened his mouth and spat out a ball of black gas that was emitting a deathly aura. It smashed towards the ball of fire. The two collided and exploded, setting off waves of strong air currents.
When Shan received this attack, he felt that two figures had already arrived in front of him. They attacked from both left and right at tricky angles, vowing to take Shan’s life.
Shan waved his hands, his fingertips wrapped in black gas. He easily received the two attacks, but before he could stop, another black and blue figure attacked him.
Shan could only brace himself to fight again. Little Blue’s attack had left a deep wound on his arm.
Buzz!
A holy and ancient golden light was like an ancient holy light, crushing everything in its path. It was menacing as it devoured Shan!
Shan felt a headache coming on. When he saw the golden light, he knew that it was the work of the small cauldron. The small cauldron had made Ran suffer quite a bit before, so he did not dare to be careless. He urged the demonic qi in his body to attack with all his might.
All of these attacks only happened in the span of two breaths. They were powerful and extremely fast. If it were anyone else, they would have already died here.
“No, that’s not right!”
Just as he took the small cauldron’s attack, Shan Xin’s heart trembled. He seemed to have thought of something as he twisted his legs and his muscular body suddenly moved backward.
Ran was recuperating with his eyes closed. He had already reached the final step and would be able to join hands with him in a moment. However, a figure had appeared behind Ran at some point in time. That figure’s expression was calm as the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, his fair hand moved from top to bottom in a seemingly light stroke…
Puchi!
Blood splattered everywhere!
Ran’s head rolled onto the ground powerlessly. His scarlet eyes were filled with shock. Following that, Ran’s green-armored body collapsed powerlessly and lost its life force.
“You!!!” Shan let out a deafening roar. There were even quite a number of rocks that rolled down from above due to the shock.
“Sigh, your fault for not telling me all those questions?” Lin Bai smiled slyly and shook off the blood stains on his hands.
The reason why Lin Bai wanted to talk so much with Shan was to make Shan, who was very suspicious, suspect that Lin Bai had other motives. When Shan was in such a dilemma, it was the time for Lin Bai to make a move!
If they did not deal with Ran at this time, once he recovered from his injuries, Lin Bai and the others would fall into an irreversible disadvantage.
