385: Chapter 385: Trapping Fails, Backfired.
However, acting the part fully requires caution when it’s called for; thus, the millennium-old Blood Ginseng pretended to be worried and asked, “Really?”
“Absolutely sure,” Lin Yifan guaranteed, patting his chest.
“Lying is a puppy’s ga,” the millennium-old Blood Ginseng threatened.
“Yes!
Lying is a puppy’s ga,” Lin Yifan responded.
“Alright then!
I will tell you now, the Spiritual Object is located a hundred ters ahead of you,” the millennium-old Blood Ginseng replied.
In fact, the cliff was at most only seventy ters away; it had falsely claid the distance, mainly aiming to doom Lin Yifan and the other three.
“OK!
We’ll go get it now.” Having said that, Lin Yifan also pretended to be naive and innocent as he walked forward.
Although he thought that ninety-nine percent of what the millennium-old Blood Ginseng had said was false, he was curious to find out what trick it wanted to play, so he couldn’t help but go and investigate.
In truth, no one was more cautious than he was.
The cunning ghost spirit that was the millennium-old Blood Ginseng, with its intelligence, would not possibly believe his false promise; there had to be danger ahead.
“Brother Lin, do you really believe there are Spiritual Objects up ahead?” Li Dafeng asked curiously.
Smart people would not engage in this kind of pay-later trade, especially when their very lives were in the other party’s hands.
The only explanation was that the millennium-old Blood Ginseng wanted to kill all four of them to make an escape.
Even they didn’t believe it, wondering why Lin Yifan, who was smart all his life, would.
“Believe it or not, won’t we know once we go and see?” After saying that, Lin Yifan continued to walk forward.
However, with every step he took, he was extrely cautious.
Seeing Lin Yifan marching forward resolutely, Li Dafeng and the others had no choice but to reluctantly follow.
They were all in the sa boat and couldn’t let Lin Yifan face the danger alone.
At this ti, all four of them were exceedingly cautious, weighing their surroundings with each step; and their Cultivation Power was already prepared, ready to be utilized at any mont against any sudden danger.
Seeing Lin Yifan actually taking the lead and marching forward, the millennium-old Blood Ginseng was beside itself with excitent, not expecting to have fooled these four so easily.
“A bunch of fools, you’ll et King Yanluo in Hell in a mont, hee hee!” the millennium-old Blood Ginseng thought with smug delight.
Four or five minutes passed, and they had taken nearly a hundred and twenty steps, now only a bit more than sixty ters from the cliff; soon, Lin Yifan and his companions would reach the edge.
At this mont, the millennium-old Blood Ginseng was extrely excited, as it was about to be freed very soon.
“Hurry, walk faster!
Keep moving forward!” the millennium-old Blood Ginseng was inwardly shouting, feeling enormously tense.
Lin Yifan continued to lead cautiously; he felt danger was about to strike.
The next mont, as he probed forward with his right foot, he found emptiness ahead, unaware if it was a trap or a cliff.
Facing the unknown danger, Lin Yifan thought it better to be conservative and quickly stepped back; then, stopping Li Dafeng and the others, he said, “The ground ahead is open air, we don’t know what’s beneath; so let’s not go any further.”
Li Dafeng and the others had known there would be danger, so they stopped advancing.
After stopping Li Dafeng and the others, Lin Yifan turned his head to the Blood Ginseng in his hand and inquired, “Are you certain you’re not playing us?”
Seeing Lin Yifan actually stopping at the edge of the cliff, the millennium-old Blood Ginseng was greatly dismayed.
It was just one step away, just that one step from tricking Lin Yifan into its own rebirth; alas, pity, in the end, Lin Yifan had noticed.
However, Lin Yifan only suspected there was danger ahead and did not know it was a cliff; so there was still a chance, and it answered firmly, “Very certain!”
“What if you’re tricking us?” Lin Yifan asked curiously.
“If I trick you, I’ll give you all the Life Essence in my body,” the Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng blurted out, making this grand sacrifice to fool Lin Yifan and gain his trust.
“Good!
That’s what you said, don’t go back on your word,” Lin Yifan was just waiting for these words from the Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng, and now that he had heard them, he was completely satisfied.
“I will absolutely not go back on my word,” the Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng affird determinedly.
As the man and the ginseng discussed the deal, Li Dafeng and the others were extrely nervous, so they asked, “Brother Lin, are you still going to go on ahead?”
Charging into danger did not seem like Lin Yifan’s usual style.
“How could I?
Do you think I’m so foolish as to be deceived by this little guy?
I ca here precisely to see what tricks it would try to pull,” Lin Yifan replied.
With a single statent, he exposed the secret, sending the Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng into a complete ltdown, feeling an intense urge to vomit blood.
It had thought that the Gold Barbaric Bull had fallen for its trap, only to find itself caught in the trap laid by the Gold Barbaric Bull—truly, an old ginger is hotter than a new one!
After hearing Lin Yifan’s response, Li Dafeng and the others suddenly realized why he did what he did.
“Gold Barbaric Bull, I’ve been so sincere with you, why don’t you trust ?” the Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng asked sorrowfully.
“Sincere my ass, with soone like you full of Ghost Spirits, who’s adept at coming up with bad ideas, how could I be easily fooled?” Lin Yifan responded with a grin.
“Ah!
It seems I was still too naive,” the Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng sighed, now truly regretting its actions.
“Tell !
What exactly is dangerous up ahead?” Lin Yifan asked.
“There’s no danger up ahead,” the Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng still wouldn’t admit it.
As the saying goes, when sending a Buddha, send him all the way to the west.
Once a lie is spoken, persist with it until the end; that’s how one can possibly win the enemy’s trust.
“The lies have been exposed, and you still won’t admit it, believe it or not, I’ll kill you right now?” Lin Yifan threatened.
“Damn it!” the Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng cursed silently.
It hated threats the most; they made it feel utterly undignified.
“Since it’s a matter of dying sooner or later, I might as well go all out,” it thought, and opened its mouth wide to bite Lin Yifan’s finger, hoping to break free from his grasp and jump into the profound abyss.
Its body was light, and with green leaves for cushioning, jumping into the profound abyss wouldn’t lead to its death.
But Lin Yifan was protected by cultivation power, so how could he be easily bitten.
Therefore, the next mont, the ginseng felt as though it had bitten into a piece of hard stone, experiencing excruciating pain.
“Damn it!
What the hell, why is it so hard?” the Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng was utterly at a loss; now it really had no options left.
“Hmph!
Little thing, thinking of escaping my grasp?
No way in hell!” Lin Yifan taunted.
Since the Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng wouldn’t talk, he would have to uncover the mystery himself.
So, he squatted down, picked up a small stone from the ground, and threw it ahead.
“Whoosh!!!”
The stone fell swiftly, generating a loud whistling sound as it frictioned against the air.
Half a minute passed, and they still hadn’t heard the sound of the stone hitting anything.
That’s when Lin Yifan and the others finally understood what was up ahead—it was the incredibly perilous profound abyss.
