Capítulo 1938: Chapter 995: Red Fla Crystal (2)
Understanding this, Lin Tianming imdiately brought up his questions.
Sure enough, as the Earth Spirit Rat explained, it indeed faced a troubleso predicant, just as Lin Tianming had speculated.
If it weren’t so, the Earth Spirit Rat would have already obtained the Red Fla Crystal and wouldn’t seek out Lin Tianming and his wife.
It turned out the conditions for the birth of the Red Fla Crystal were extrely harsh because it lay in the heart of the exotic flas, always guarded by fierce exotic flas around it.
Whenever soone approached, the flas would rise to repel them, thus protecting the Red Fla Crystal, its companion.
Although the Earth Spirit Rat had extraordinary talent, it was only in the area of perception.
As for facing the exotic flas, even as a Fourth Order Demonic Beast, the Earth Spirit Rat was helpless.
In such circumstances, however much it craved the Red Fla Crystal, the Earth Spirit Rat had to give up for the ti being as it couldn’t bypass the flas’ protection.
Yet, the Earth Spirit Rat never gave up on obtaining the Red Fla Crystal and had thought of many ways to do so.
Regrettably, the order within the Ancient Demon Secret Realm was exceedingly chaotic, especially among Fourth Order Demonic Beasts, making any collaboration impossible.
After all, in the eyes of many Fourth Order Demonic Beasts, spirit ore was not like spiritual dicines or spirit fruits that could be consud to gain strength.
Thus, for the vast majority of Fourth Order Demonic Beasts, the Red Fla Crystal was of no use.
However, in the eyes of the Earth Spirit Rat, the Red Fla Crystal was the perfect nourishnt, offering significant benefits.
Especially at the current mont, having reached the Fourth Order level, every step forward for the Earth Spirit Rat was arduous, requiring unimaginable resources.
Now, having encountered such a precious Red Fla Crystal, a treasure that brought enormous advantages, no Earth Spirit Rat could resist its allure.
As for the current Earth Spirit Rat, it had thought of nurous ways to get those Red Fla Crystals.
But the threat posed by the exotic flas was too great, too entangled, forcing the Earth Spirit Rat to temporarily abandon its attempts and seek other solutions.
Under these circumstances, after the Earth Spirit Rat encountered Lin Tianming and his wife, its special perception allowed it to vaguely detect that the two seed to harbor an even more formidable fla.
And the aura of this fla was concealed by Lin Tianming and his wife, making it undetectable by other demonic beasts.
Yet, under the Earth Spirit Rat’s special ability, it could perceive it vaguely.
This very factor is why the Earth Spirit Rat appeared abruptly, and tried to block Lin Tianming and his wife on their path.
All these elents were frankly relayed to Lin Tianming by the Earth Spirit Rat, though whether anything had been withheld was yet unclear to him.
Nevertheless, given Lin Tianming’s usual cautious nature, he wouldn’t blindly trust solely Earth Spirit Rat’s words.
Having great understanding of demonic beasts, Lin Tianming had his own unique insights, having dealt with them nurous tis before.
He had even collaborated with a few powerful demonic beasts in the past.
Based on this, Lin Tianming wasn’t keen on trusting the other easily, nor would he underestimate the beast’s capabilities and sches.
But from what the Earth Spirit Rat had ntioned, the Red Fla Crystal’s existence seed real.
The existence of exotic flas was likely true as well.
After all, for a Red Fla Crystal to be born, exotic flas must be present.
Otherwise, the Red Fla Crystal couldn’t possibly be found elsewhere.
Those with vision in the Cultivation World all knew about this.
Including Lin Tianming, who had seen clear docuntation of this in so ancient records.
Thus, after hearing the Earth Spirit Rat’s revelations, Lin Tianming didn’t outright dismiss them, instead, he pondered these claims.
According to his thinking, the Earth Spirit Rat had approached them likely to obtain the Red Fla Crystal.
The reason probably being, that he possessed the Tianxin True Fla, a fire that had undergone many transformations.
Utilizing exotic flas against other flas had consistently been one of the most effective thods in the Cultivation World.
The Earth Spirit Rat was evidently very aware of this.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming looked at the Earth Spirit Rat opposite him and followed up with a question.
“Senior Earth Spirit Rat, what exactly is your purpose in coming to us?”
“In my humble opinion, you might as well be straightforward!”
“As long as it’s within our capability, we’re willing to help!”
“However, if it’s too dangerous or impossible for us, we absolutely won’t get involved without good reason.”
Lin Tianming spoke sincerely, with a slight tone of sternness in his words.
He aid to demonstrate his resolve, avoiding giving the Earth Spirit Rat the impression of being weaker, and thus being taken advantage of.
Moreover, Lin Tianming intended his reaction to put pressure on the Earth Spirit Rat, making it feel that his party wouldn’t be easily manipulated.
Otherwise, the Earth Spirit Rat might gain absolute upper hand.
And they themselves would lose any leverage against the other party.
Lin Tianming had thought this through clearly, showing firm attitude with no intention of being led around by the nose.
Indeed, the Earth Spirit Rat was taken aback by Lin Tianming’s words.
The Earth Spirit Rat hadn’t anticipated such decisiveness from this human cultivator, whose straightforward words made it hard for the rat to continue being evasive.
In addition, Lin Tianming’s words faintly carried a hint of warning.
That was not to play any tricks or sches.
The Earth Spirit Rat shouldn’t assu they’d lend a hand freely without any benefit in return.
With such implications, the Earth Spirit Rat paused, contemplating its next move.
After a long while, the Earth Spirit Rat finally spoke again.
Then, the Earth Spirit Rat slowly said, “You two, I don’t wish to beat around the bush, nor waste each other’s ti.”
“As you guessed, I stopped you because I want to borrow your hands to obtain those Red Fla Crystals.”
“But rest assured, since I sought you out, I have so leverage.”
“If nothing unexpected happens, you should both have exotic flas with you.”
“I suppose you wouldn’t deny this, would you?”
Finishing these words, the Earth Spirit Rat seriously looked at Lin Tianming, seemingly quite expecting his response.
Hearing this, Lin Tianming straightforwardly complinted, with no attempt to hide.
“Senior, your perception is indeed remarkable; worthy of your special talents and abilities.”
“Yes!”
“We admit, we both possess exotic flas.”
The Earth Spirit Rat smiled at receiving such a positive confirmation, easing the atmosphere slightly.
It then continued, “As I said, with exotic flas to support, you do have the capability to assist.”
“According to my plan, what if we collaborate once?”
“When obtaining the Red Fla Crystal, you two use your exotic flas to restrain the other type of exotic flas.”
“Or suppress them directly, and I can seize the chance to get a certain number of Red Fla Crystals.”
“As long as I get what I want, I won’t let your efforts be in vain and am willing to offer so compensation for this cooperation.”
“I hope you both consider this seriously.”
After finishing, the Earth Spirit Rat looked at Lin Tianming and his wife, eagerly awaiting their specific response.
Hearing these explanations, Lin Tianming thought to himself that it was indeed as expected, that the Earth Spirit Rat approached with a clear plan in mind.
If it were not so, a Fourth Order level Earth Spirit Rat, comparable to a Nascent Soul Stage expert of the Human Race,
would never be so polite in front of two Golden Core Stage cultivators, given its power as its backing and the typical volatility of great demons.
