Chapter 260

"Slap!"

Zhang Xingyu gave himself a light slap.

"Told you to have a loose mouth! Told you to have a loose mouth!"

One minute ago.

Under Zhang Xingyu's guidance, the two Demon Kings successfully found a way to pass through here.

The method was to lure the giant away with delicious food.

Luring the monster!

A very traditional gaming tactic.

The task of luring the monster naturally fell on Zhang Xingyu's head.

In the words of the two Demon Kings: "You're the God of Cooking, we're the foodies. If you don't do this glorious mission of luring the monster, who will?"

No choice, Zhang Xingyu accepted his fate.

The two in front of him were big shots! Their fists were big.

However, luring a monster is a high-difficulty job.

Zhang Xingyu looked at his thin arms and legs, then stretched his arm out in front of the two Demon Kings.

"You two, it's fine if you want me to lure the monster. But look, I've just recovered from a serious injury, my dantian is empty of magic power, my body has no strength, and my attack and defense are less than ten percent. If I go to lure the monster like this, I'm afraid I'll be dead before I even lure the monster away. It doesn't matter if I die, but I'm afraid the task of retrieving the Holy Fire you two entrusted me with won't be completed. If we can't retrieve the Holy Fire, won't that delay your big plans to ascend to Demon God?"

"What are you trying to do, kid?"

Old demon Hete Yao stared at Zhang Xingyu and asked very cautiously.

"Nothing. Before I go to lure the monster, I need to recover. But my magic bag is empty. So, if you two have any high-level spiritual pills, high-level magic potions, or Immortal Treasures, just take them out and lend them to me."

"None left. The treasures in my pocket have all been used up by you." Old demon Hete Yao said, covering his magic bag.

"Tch, who are you lying to? You, a big shot of the Demon Realm, would hide good things in a magic bag? You have magic rings on both hands, dare you say there are no good things inside?" Zhang Xingyu glanced at him, then sat down on the ground.

"If you aren't willing to lend them, then I'm not going. In my current state, wanting to lure the giant away is simply wishful thinking."

Demon King Hali didn't speak.

He just took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and then with a flash of red light, something appeared in his hand.

A bright red heart.

A heart that was beating thump-thump.

Zhang Xingyu looked at Demon King Hali: "Your taste is too heavy. A living heart, are you sure this thing is edible?"

"The Heart of a Divine Dragon, obtained by hunting a Divine Dragon, worth one hundred million high-grade magic stones." Demon King Hali said indifferently.

"Uh. Alright. Since it's something you worked hard to obtain, I'll reluctantly accept it. I'll slice it into small pieces later and use it for hot pot."

After putting away the Heart of the Divine Dragon, Zhang Xingyu stretched his hand toward old demon Hete Yao: "What about yours, old man?"

"Uh."

Hete Yao hesitated for a long time before painfully taking something out of his storage ring.

A golden egg.

The size of a watermelon, shining with golden light.

"Take it. This is a treasure I spent a huge price to exchange for. Giving it to you to nourish your body is really a waste of a good thing."

Zhang Xingyu reached out to take the golden egg and tapped on the shell with his finger.

"Dang, dang, dang, dang."

The golden egg made a crisp sound.

"Old guy, this egg isn't fake, is it?"

"Impossible, this is a treasure I spent one hundred thousand low-grade magic stones to find. The guy selling it didn't know what it was, he didn't know this was a Divine Dragon egg. But I, this old man, am well-informed and naturally know the value of this thing. So I got a big bargain. To tell you the truth, if this Divine Dragon egg were put up for auction, it would sell for at least two hundred million high-grade magic stones."

"How much?"

"Two hundred million high-grade magic stones."

Zhang Xingyu didn't quite believe it.

Hete Yao, this stingy ghost, willing to give him a treasure worth two hundred million high-grade magic stones.

He turned his head to look at Demon King Hali.

Demon King Hali nodded slightly, a look of surprise appearing on his face as well.

Zhang Xingyu was stunned.

Has this old thing Hete Yao really changed his nature and become generous?

Carefully putting away the golden egg, Zhang Xingyu spread his hands again.

"Once I recover my energy, I'll go lure the giant away. But as for the materials for the barbecue, you two will need to prepare them."

Three days later.

Under the snow mountain, by the small stream.

Two huge stones, a row of long iron racks.

Under the iron racks, a mountain of charcoal was burning fiercely.

Above the iron racks, a skinned and cleaned demon beast was already skewered on an iron spit the thickness of a pillar.

Hete Yao clapped his hands, turned his head, and said to Zhang Xingyu on the side: "Kid, we'll go up the mountain first. Once you've finished grilling, hurry up and get out of here too. Be careful, don't get discovered by the giant."

"Got it. Stop being such a nag. You guys hurry up and leave. If the giant comes later, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."

Three or four miles away from the stream, there was a small hillside covered with flowers.

Lying on the hillside was a giant wearing sunglasses.

This giant's name was Yake, the youngest son of the Giant tribe's chief.

He said this in a light, casual tone.

Old demon Hete Yao, who was on the side, had his expression change constantly after hearing this.

"I say, Alex, are you playing at changing faces?"

"Get lost! Giants like to live in groups; there must be more than one here."

"If it really doesn't work, can we change paths?"

"Get lost! Except for the Giant Canyon, this is the only road."

"Then we're screwed."

Hearing old demon Hete Yao say this, Demon King Hali, who had been eager to try, also fell silent.

After a moment, Zhang Xingyu had a flash of inspiration.

"I say you two, you are both big shots, you must have invisibility treasures on you. Invisibility clothes, invisibility cloaks, invisibility capes—hurry up and take them out. We'll put on the invisibility equipment and walk right past the giant's eyes."

"It won't work."

"Why? You two are Demon Kings, big shots of the demon race. Don't tell me you don't even have invisibility equipment?"

"It's not that we don't have it, it's that invisibility equipment doesn't work on giants. Giants have a single eye on their heads that can break through all invisibility states."

"Uh, these giants are too awesome! Not only is their strength great, but even their eyes are so powerful."

After another moment, Zhang Xingyu had another flash of inspiration.

"I say you two, do you have any treasures on you that a giant would fancy? Let's spend some money to buy our way through."

"None? Giants don't fancy anything from our demon race."

"Uh, unexpectedly, these giants are quite arrogant!"

After a while, Zhang Xingyu had another flash of inspiration.

"I say you two. We humans have a saying: no matter how sharp the spear, there is a shield to block it; no matter how difficult the problem, there is a way to solve it. The key is whether we can find the key to solving the problem."

Old demon Hete Yao and Demon King Hali glanced at him simultaneously but didn't respond.

Seeing this, Zhang Xingyu continued: "I've also heard that the story of the Demon God Alius is circulated in your Demon Realm. Even the incomparably heroic Demon God Alius had his weaknesses, don't these giants have weaknesses?"

Old demon Hete Yao and Demon King Hali's eyes lit up simultaneously.

After a moment, old demon Hete Yao said slowly: "They do, giants are gluttonous!"

Old Demon He Teyao's nose twitched twice involuntarily.

So fragrant.

Such a comfortable scent.

He Teyao's old eyes were blurred.

Vaguely, a beautiful and gentle woman was waving at him.

"He Teyao, remember me, please remember me."

"Duoya, don't go, don't go..."

The light and shadow dissipated, and He Teyao was already covered in tears.

He muttered softly: "Duoya, don't go..."

In front of him, Zhang Xingyu's hand holding the roasted meat stopped in mid-air.

It seemed that He Teyao, this old demon, was also a protagonist with a tragic love story.
