Chapter 260: Chapter 182 Cooperation_4

No wonder Lian Longhai, a Loose Cultivator with such a formidable reputation, fled at the wind. Lin Tianming muttered to himself internally.

Well aware of the Dragon-Eyed Beasts’ formidable strength, Lin Shilu’s expression turned unpleasant as he spoke to Long Hai:

“Dragon friend, by drawing disaster toward us and involving us innocents, shouldn’t you give us an explanation?”

“An explanation?”

Long Hai let out a chuckle, then said:

“In the nest of these Dragon-Eyed Beasts, there is no shortage of treasures, among which is White Jade Grass. How’s that for an explanation?”

Hearing mention of White Jade Grass, the two Lin Tianming were shocked.

White Jade Grass is the main ingredient in crafting Foundation Establishment Pills. Apart from Golden Core Forces, it’s almost impossible to find in the Cultivation World and only appears in such Secret Realms.

What the Lin Family currently lacked was White Jade Grass. If they could obtain some and craft Foundation Establishment Pills, the clan’s foundation would reach a new level.

Thinking this, Lin Shilu was very clear-headed. How could one easily believe the words of a stranger?

Seeing the expression on their faces, Long Hai continued:

“Although these Dragon-Eyed Beasts are strong, with our combined efforts, it’s not like we have no fighting chance. How about we join forces to kill them and then divide the treasures within?”

Upon hearing Long Hai’s words, the two Lin Tianming did not believe him and began to communicate in secret.

“Tianming, do you think there’s truth or deception in his words?”

Seeing Lin Shilu’s inquiry, Lin Tianming communicated back:

“Regardless of truth or falsehood, we have no choice now. With his deep cultivation, if he were to leave directly, it would not be easy for us to retreat unharmed. Although cooperating with him is akin to seeking skin from a tiger, it’s still better than facing the Dragon-Eyed Beasts alone.”

Hearing Lin Tianming’s communication, Lin Shilu secretly nodded. Then, he asked aloud:

“Dragon friend, words alone are no proof. If there really is White Jade Grass, I’m willing to take a chance. But if there isn’t, the two of us will definitely not take the risk.”

Long Hai seemed to anticipate their worries. He waved his sleeve, and suddenly, a spiritual plant about one foot tall with a body of pure white appeared in his hand.

Seeing this item, it was undoubtedly genuine White Jade Grass, and the two Lin Tianming’s breathing quickened.

Long Hai put away the White Jade Grass and then asked:

“How about it? Have the two fellow Daoists thought it through?”

Lin Shilu nodded, having made up his mind, he replied, “Dragon friend, let’s speak frankly. If we succeed, how shall we divide the spoils of war?”

Hearing Lin Shilu speak of cooperation, Long Hai smiled and said:

“Since I discovered this item and my strength is superior to yours, naturally, I should take the larger share. Of the treasures we obtain, I will take seventy percent, and you will take thirty percent.”

As soon as Long Hai proposed his division scheme, Lin Shilu immediately protested.

“Dragon friend, your words are unfair. It’s true that you discovered this, but seventy percent is too much. Our contribution to the effort should at least give us fifty percent.”

Before he could finish speaking, Long Hai’s expression changed. However, he also had concerns—should Lin Tianming really decide not to cooperate, it would be impossible for him to escape unscathed alone.

With this in mind, his attitude softened considerably, and he began to bargain.

Soon, they reached an agreement: Long Hai would receive sixty percent, and they would get forty percent.

To this division of spoils, the two Lin Tianming were quite satisfied. Given the current situation, it was unlikely for either party to succeed against the Dragon-Eyed Beasts alone.

Only by cooperating could they achieve greater results and was the most advantageous approach.

Long Hai and Lin Shilu both chuckled, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed. They then looked toward the group of Dragon Eye Beasts ahead.

Neither side launched an attack, and the Dragon-Eyed Beasts did not dare to initiate one either. The two sides were at a standoff, with a big battle on the verge of erupting.
