Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Little Baga Wants to Cooperate?
Watching Xiao Zhan’s behavior, Ye Youlong also had a somewhat strange expression.
Having spent time with Xiao Zhan, she found he always blurted out some inexplicable things, words she had never heard before, very unfamiliar, yet they somehow felt right when he spoke them.
It was truly a strange feeling.
She had no idea where he had learned these words from.
"What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and move!" Xiao Zhan, seeing her suddenly lost in thought, urged her on.
Ye Youlong came back to her senses, "I’m tired, I don’t want to walk."
Xiao Zhan: ...
"Really, I’m at my wits’ end with you."
With a wave of his hand, Ye Youlong immediately transformed into the Death Demon Scythe in his grip.
She was getting lazier and lazier; she hadn’t been this pretentious before.
Looking at the Death Demon Scythe, which seemed cold and intimidating in appearance yet was extremely gentle to the touch.
Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but purse his lips and mutter, "I’m not even treating you like an ox yet, and you’re already using me like one."
"What ox?"
Ye Youlong was puzzled, another incomprehensible term.
"An ox that hasn’t plowed the field."
Ye Youlong, "???"
Still didn’t understand, but had a feeling it wasn’t anything nice.
She decided that she would study it carefully once she got back.
Meanwhile.
People from other Federations, upon seeing the golden pillar of light, also didn’t hesitate for a moment and made their way towards the location of the golden light.
Half an hour later.
Xiao Zhan saw that the light of the golden pillar was beginning to weaken; he knew he had to speed up now. Luckily, the golden pillar wasn’t far from him, and at his current speed, he would make it in time.
But just then, two people suddenly appeared within his Perception range, in front of him.
And they were fast, clearly with the strength of Second Grade Spirit Masters.
Xiao Zhan thought for a moment and made a decision, which was to take them out first!
Because the Secret Realm Origin was currently vanishing, time was limited; soon everyone would gather together, and there would inevitably be a chaotic battle.
And the longer that battle dragged on, the worse it would be.
So, taking out one now meant one less to deal with later.
Therefore, Xiao Zhan quickly approached.
He caught up to them swiftly, and upon seeing the figures, it turned out to be Oda Junichiro and Muto Ran from the Baka Federation!
Oda Junichiro also spotted Xiao Zhan’s arrival and was a bit surprised.
He hadn’t expected the people from the Longxia Federation, the two of them had not died yet? And they had also broken through to become Second Grade Spirit Masters?
Seems like they weren’t completely useless after all.
He thought for a moment and immediately made a decision.
Instead of getting into a fighting stance, while maintaining a safe distance, he shouted to Xiao Zhan.
"Sir Xiao Zhan, I am Oda Junichiro, I’ve long admired your great reputation. It’s a pleasure to meet you here, I presume you’re also here for the Secret Realm Origin. I have a proposition for you, would you consider it?"
Xiao Zhan didn’t have anything to discuss with this little Baka; when enemies meet, the only thing to do is draw swords.
But just as Xiao Zhan was about to strike, he suddenly sensed two more people appearing within his perception range.
Immediately, he paused his attack.
The Baka People had already discovered him; if he attacked now, he might not be able to achieve a one-hit kill.
And if he got tangled up with them, the others would notice both of them. They would sit back and watch the tigers fight; he and the Baka People would become those tigers.
The situation would become passive.
He couldn’t take that risk.
After some thought, he responded to Oda Junichiro, "Spit out whatever crap you have to say, and do it fast!"
"Mr. Xiao Zhan, no need to be so irritable. We are both from the Asian Circle; we should unite against those blond monkeys and dark-skinned apes."
"Think I’d cooperate with you? No way!"
Xiao Zhan flatly refused.
But Oda Junichiro spoke very seriously, "Mr. Xiao Zhan, I think you should seriously consider my proposal. The Pretty Federation has three teams, and we both only have one. To defeat them, we must join forces."
Actually, Oda Junichiro didn’t want to join forces with Xiao Zhan. His choice of ally was Korea’s Park Changgui, but due to those two idiots’ bad luck, they had died early.
Now he was the only one left.
Of course, there was a way to fight alone.
He had intended to embody the spirit of Bushido, hide stealthily, and then, after the melee, engage in a fair 1V1 battle with the last person standing!
But unexpectedly, the Secret Realm Origin had appeared.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime treasure, he couldn’t just let it go. If someone else got it, that would be a huge loss.
Therefore, he was forced to hurriedly come here.
But facing numerous enemies, he also had to think of a plan.
Just at the right moment, Xiao Zhan appeared, and as a Second Grade Spirit Master, Oda Junichiro had the thought of cooperation immediately.
Xiao Zhan was from the Longxia Federation, thrown in to sabotage his own side. Though his strength had broken through the Second Grade, he was definitely not Oda’s match.
Cooperating with him, Oda was confident he could ensure his own safety.
Additionally, there was another point—in his view, the people from Longxia were easy to deceive.
"Mr. Xiao Zhan, as long as we work together, we can slaughter them all. Then afterwards, we can have a fair 1V1 duel, divide the Origin, and decide life and death. Wouldn’t that be great?"
"Better to have a fifty-fifty chance of winning in a duel with me than to die at their hands."
"Mr. Xiao Zhan, shouldn’t you seriously consider it? We are both part of the alliance against Demon Beasts in East Asia! It’s better for either of us to get the Secret Realm Origin than those smelly monkeys and apes!"
Oda Junichiro continued to persuade. He truly wanted to cooperate with Xiao Zhan.
And as Xiao Zhan listened to his words, although a bit passive before, he suddenly thought of a plan.
With an evil smile on his lips, he said, "I admit that what you’re saying makes sense, and I’m tempted. But you Baka People are the least trustworthy, how can I believe what you’re saying is true? And how can I be sure you won’t stab me in the back during the battle?"
"Mr. Xiao Zhan, aren’t I worried about the exact same thing? Let me ask you a question: if the two of us cooperate, would you stab me in the back before our enemies are dealt with?"
"I wouldn’t."
That was the truth.
If Xiao Zhan really chose to cooperate, he wouldn’t betray him before all their enemies were dealt with.
Because betrayal would mean turning his teammate into an enemy.
That would be digging one’s own grave.
"I wouldn’t either," Oda Junichiro replied, "We’re both smart people, we know what choices to make. So, what do you say, shall we cooperate?"
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Zhan said, "We can cooperate, but we must keep a certain distance, and you must walk in front of me."
"Mr. Xiao Zhan, that means you don’t trust me. What happened to the mutual trust we just agreed on?" Oda Junichiro frowned.
