Chapter 1174 - Chapter 1174 Chapter 1174 The First Beast King

Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174: The First Beast King Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174: The First Beast King “Alright, 150,000 of the Silver Elite Griffin Legion, and 10,000 of the chief Griffin Legion. You should know that I desperately need troops to maintain stability and security after taking down two cities. Only when I am secure can our mutual interests be protected. Otherwise, replacing me with someone else or another power might not be as cooperative,” Li Yao declared resolutely.

“Good, I agree,” the Griffin King thought for a moment before continuing, “However, I need to impose a slight adjustment to the original conditions. Your territory will need to provide us with some precious animal kinds, which will help my descendants enhance their strength. This is also the basis for our future collaboration. Additionally, appropriate compensation and military expenses must be paid to the warriors in combat. I am not asking for much, just normal rank status and treatment.”

Honestly, this condition is nothing compared to acquiring the Griffin Legion. As a high-tier legion, the Griffin Legion has always been highly sought after and essentially exclusive to the Bright Alliance in the God’s Main Position. The fact that Li Yao had managed to recruit so many Griffins on their first collaboration had already exceeded his expectations.

His original plan was actually to ease the relationship with the Griffin King and then look for possibilities for cooperation. The initial threat was just a risky probe; if the Griffin King had been too stubborn, Li Yao would not have really left the plains. But if that were the case, it would have been a different scenario and method of handling things. Right now, this situation was certainly the best. Subduing the enemy without fighting was true wisdom. Currently having too few troops at hand, it was natural not to expend them if not necessary.

As for the various animal flesh and blood, it might be a problem in the Dead Light Area, but it was not really an issue in the main position. The reproduction and presence of various creatures in the Ancient Gods cannot be inferred by the logic of the real world. Even though the living resources in his other two territories were less, it was only relative to other areas, similarly inexhaustible. Thus, in the Ancient Gods, exterminating a race is no easy task.

“Deal, name the quantity of other animal flesh and blood, and I will periodically deliver it to ensure your satisfaction and that it does not hinder the growth of your warriors. Let’s enjoy a pleasant collaboration,” Li Yao said.

The Black Dragon Queen conveyed her thoughts, telling Li Yao a few things, to which Li Yao nodded in understanding.

“My wife will arrange the corresponding affairs. I will not keep the two of you any longer, especially since I’ve just learned of the Witch of Fire’s news. I want to explore Bloodline Power again. I have been stuck at the edge of a world-level chief for too long, and I can’t wait any longer,” said the Griffin King anxiously.

Sure enough, a beautiful dark-gold Griffin with a crown-like appearance appeared and gently said, “Please follow me, distinguished guests.”

Li Yao nodded, walked a few steps, then suddenly turned back, his hand producing a tube filled with a few drops of Crimson Blood, tossing it to the Griffin King. The Griffin King’s mind stirred, and the tube floated before his eyes.

Looking at the constantly boiling blood in the tube, the Griffin King felt the pulse of bloodline power: “This, this is…”

“Exactly, this is the Ancestor’s God-Blood. If I’m not wrong, the reason you can’t advance is due to the power of the Witch of Fire conflicting or vying with the bloodline power in your body without a definite outcome. The power of the Ancestor is not notably superior against other deities’ power, but it does influence the bloodline significantly. Integrating drop by drop, this is a good harmonizing agent,” Li Yao explained.

“So it was you who triggered the Blood Feast not long ago,” the Griffin King realized but asked doubtfully: “Young man, do you not realize how precious this divine blood is?”

“If I didn’t know, would I have given it to you to resolve your bodily issues?” Li Yao countered.

“Why didn’t you bring it out earlier then? If you had brought it out sooner, we wouldn’t have ended up at daggers drawn,” the Griffin King asked further.

Li Yao turned his back to the two of them: “As you know, this thing is too precious; I wouldn’t use it for trading. Now that we are in a cooperative relationship, although not deeply acquainted, I can feel that you’re a decent person, worth befriending–almost a friend. When a friend is in trouble, I can’t say I would die to help, but I would certainly do all I can.”

“Ha ha ha, well said, Prairie Fire, right? I’ll take you as my friend,” the Griffin King solemnly tucked away the tube: “It’s a pity that if I were thousands of years younger, I might have ventured through the main position with you. But alas, I am old.”

Li Yao nodded and followed the Griffin Queen away, later under the guidance of the Griffin King personally selecting the legion he wanted to take.

On the mountaintop, the Griffin King watched the returning Queen and sighed, “Have you entrusted Hawk Barbarian to Prairie Fire’s care?”

A flicker of reluctance passed through the Queen’s eyes: “You know, little Barbarian is just like you, except her veins are naturally locked, making it difficult to harmonize two types of bloodline power. You only have enough of the Ancestor’s blood for one person, and knowing you, you will definitely let little Barbarian use it. How could I bear to see you in pain any longer?”

“Then are you willing to give up our most beloved daughter?” the Griffin King inhaled deeply: “Divine blood is precious, let alone original divine blood. This is Prairie Fire’s army, we have never treated friends this way.”

“Barbarian is exceptionally talented; even she can be unmatched among her peers without using any type of bloodline power. She is a natural Griffin Emperor heir. Once the bloodline restriction is lifted and both bloodline powers are displayed, she will become even more formidable, potentially even reaching demigod status. Such a partner, Prairie Fire having her in his contract is not at a disadvantage at all. Based on my sensing, Prairie Fire likely has quite a lot of divine blood; losing a bit of it but gaining a partner only second to that Black Dragon is a choice anyone would rightfully make.”

The Griffin King sighed again–no Emperor Griffin could be forged in a conservatory.

In the sky, aboard the Black Dragon Queen’s back, Li Yao swiftly flew towards the deeper parts of the mountain range. The mountains were barren with very few monsters, seemingly just endless peaks with no end in sight.

“Congratulations, master, on acquiring new combat power. Weren’t you searching for a Beast King? This one is far more formidable,” said the Black Dragon Queen.

Li Yao glanced at the small dark-gold Griffin the size of a palm and a young dragon frolicking on his shoulder; had it not been for seeing the formidable mature Griffin’s appearance, one could hardly imagine it was a juvenile Griffin.

“Divine blood really doesn’t last long,” Li Yao sighed.

“Just be satisfied. With the Griffin Princess under your command, are you worried about not being able to recruit more Griffins in the future? Just keep smiling,” she said.

Li Yao smiled: “Stop talking, keep an eye on the ground, look for a good place. We can’t delay the tasks arranged by the mentor; this relates to the enhancement of everyone’s strength.”
