Chapter 2928 - 2927: Greed
Chapter 2928: Chapter 2927: Greed
Just when Dracula was about to lead Lin Dong and Ye Linglong into the area of the Ancient General Tomb, he suddenly frowned.
He turned his head to look at Lin Dong and said, "Brother Lin, you should also sense a group of ants following us, right?"
Lin Dong nodded, "I had noticed them long ago."
"Hehe, should we kill them?" Dracula asked.
Lin Dong shook his head, "I don’t think there is a need for that. You said it yourself, this Ancient General Tomb is extremely dangerous. Just give them a warning and let them leave."
"Of course, if they are unwilling to leave and insist on following us in, then they can’t blame us if they die."
"Brother Lin makes a valid point." Dracula sneered, suddenly transmitting his voice to Lin Dong, "Brother Lin, actually, I intentionally released my breath to let them follow us."
Lin Dong was taken aback, a bit puzzled, then started a telepathic conversation with him.
"Brother Dracula, what do you mean by this? Why deliberately reveal our whereabouts to them and let them follow?"
Dracula immediately responded, "Because entering that Ancient General Tomb requires a certain blood sacrifice. I initially thought of killing some demon beasts for their blood. However, I suddenly found that someone was actually tracking us."
"Hehe, in that case, don’t blame me..."
Hearing this, Lin Dong was silent. It seemed this Dracula was not a kind person either.
But then again, who is he? He is from the Blood Clan of the Ancient European Country after all.
He also sucks blood!
Just not as crazily as the Extraterritorial Blood Clan, which wants to destroy and enslave human martial artists.
"Brother Lin, I’ll go test them. If they don’t harbor greed and are willing to heed my warning and leave, then naturally, I’ll kill them and offer them as a sacrifice. But if they insist on following us in due to greed, then they can’t blame me..."
"People always have to pay a price for their greed, don’t they?"
After sending this message to Lin Dong, Dracula walked towards the distance.
Then, he spoke towards the dark waters behind, "Friends, come out, don’t hide anymore, we have already discovered your tracks."
Once these words were spoken, three factions of people emerged instantly.
The first faction was made up of martial artists from the Ancient European Country, totaling over a dozen people. The strongest among them was a First Heaven Heavenly Realm martial artist, while the rest were Earth Realm martial artists, and even a Sect Master.
The second faction had only three people. They were Dragon Country warriors, all possessing Earth Realm martial artist’s strength.
The third faction consisted of martial artists from various countries. This group also numbered over a dozen, all clad in bounty armor, identified as ’bounty hunters’ from the Extraterrestrial Battlefield. Among them, the strongest was a Second Heavenly Realm Martial Artist.
Once these people came out, they all bowed towards Lin Dong and Dracula.
"Greetings to Lin Tian, greetings to Lord Dracula..."
"Seems like you all know us, yet you still dare to follow us, do you not value your lives?" Dracula conversed with this group, exuding a terrifying aura.
This aura, once released, caused everyone’s face to change drastically, even making it hard for them to breathe.
"Forgive us, Lord Dracula, we mean no harm. We were just curious, Lord Dracula, you and Lin Dong Lin Tian joined forces to come to this special waters, could it be that you discovered some ancient ruins?"
The leader of the bounty hunter faction spoke in response.
Dracula did not hide it, speaking directly, "That’s right, we have indeed discovered an ancient ruin and intend to explore it. It might contain many secret treasures, but it is extremely dangerous..."
Hearing this, the faces of the three factions changed, their eyes gleaming with greed.
If even Lin Dong and Dracula wanted to explore the ancient ruins, it must contain many secret treasures.
The bounty hunter leader quickly said, "Lord Dracula, Lord Lin Dong Lin Tian, the ancient ruins should be vast, right?"
"Surely you won’t hoard the entire ancient ruins for yourselves, not letting us explore too? We also wish to enter and seek opportunity."
"That’s right, Lord Dracula, Lord Lin Dong Lin Tian, although you’re powerful, you can’t be unreasonable, can you? The ancient ruins, finders keepers, we also want to enter and search for treasures. Whether we find anything depends on our opportunity."
Another leader from the Ancient European Country faction, a First Heaven Heavenly Realm martial artist, also spoke at this moment.
Hearing this, Dracula seemed somewhat angry.
But he still snorted and said, "Ancient ruins are certainly for anyone who finds them. I cannot monopolize them, but are you sure you want to come?"
"I warn you, there are indeed secret treasures inside. Ancient martial arts, dan medicines, these are minor details. There are even treasures that surpass ancient martial arts... but as the saying goes, bigger opportunities come with bigger risks. It is very dangerous inside."
"I advise you, if you go in, there’s a high probability you’ll die."
"I urge you to leave quickly, don’t go in. Especially those of you with weak strength, you really won’t know how you died inside."
However, in the face of Dracula’s warning, these people completely ignored it.
This is human nature, once greed takes over, it becomes impossible to see the terrifying crisis and risk clearly.
Among common people, seeing others make money in the stock market, they also rush to buy in, unaware that it has reached an extremely high point. They’ve been completely driven by the surge and only think of making money, ignoring the current peak... thus they buy into the trap.
When the actual principal is largely lost, they realize, and only then might they wonder why they acted that way.
Sometimes, interests completely blind one’s eyes, and greed causes a loss of rationality.
Now, this group is just like that.
Upon hearing the ancient ruins contain ancient martial arts, dan medicines, even treasure techniques and secret treasures, they have been completely blinded by interest.
Driven by greed, they completely ignore the risks.
Even if someone warns them, they won’t listen.
Lin Dong, seeing this, spoke to the second faction, which were the three Dragon Country warriors, "You are merely Earth Realm martial artists, I advise you not to enter."
"Otherwise, you bear the consequences!"
The three Earth Realm martial artists heard Lin Dong’s warning and suddenly regained their senses.
It was as if someone had sounded a warning in their hearts!
In that moment, they exchanged glances, then bowed to Lin Dong.
"The three of us are weak, we won’t join this commotion. We take our leave..." These three were the only ones to break free from the clutches of greed.
They left without hesitation.
Of course, they could leave so decisively entirely because of Lin Dong.
Because Lin Dong used spiritual power to intimidate them, instilling a deep fear in them.
At that moment, they felt the fear of death.
Like a person set aflame suddenly doused with cold water, they woke up.
As for the other two factions, Lin Dong wasn’t so kind.
Since they want to come and seek treasures, let’s see if they have the life to do so...
