# Chapter 958: Little Calf Rolls Its Eyes

Upon hearing the knock, Chen Dao'er's eyes narrowed, and Chen An and the others tensed up!

Had the forest guard who went out to scout returned? Or was it a scattered poacher?

He stepped forward and said, "Password!"

Jiangnan mimicked Jin Hao's voice and cursed loudly.

"Grandmother! What password? If you don't open up, I'll blow your tree down!"

Chen An's face darkened, but he was also puzzled. Was it Jin Hao?

Chen Dao'er was equally stunned. This bastard Jin Hao hadn't died either?

How did he survive?

"Open the door. Let him in."

The yew tree wall split open, and Jiangnan, covered in blood, walked in with seven or eight poacher projections!

His eyes immediately fell on Chen Dao'er. The guy hadn't fared much better either.

He looked even older, and large patches of his skin had turned woody!

Chen Dao'er looked wary: "How did you find our hideout?"

"And why are you looking for me at a time like this?"

Jiangnan ground his teeth: "You still ask? If it weren't for you, would I have ended up in this Void Sea?"

"Over a thousand poachers, and only this many are left. Can you bear this responsibility? Huh?"

As he spoke, his eyes reddened, and he even started wiping away tears.

(#)꒦ິ﹏ก̀)

Outside, Liu Mang clicked his tongue. This acting was absolutely incredible! He could cry on cue!

Oscar-worthy! Damn!

So he controlled a few projections to cry along!

Chen Dao'er's face darkened: "Are you here to hold a funeral at my place? As if my Chen family hasn't lost anyone!"

"We did this to lure Jiangnan and his people in. If you wanted money, you should've been prepared to risk your neck!"

Jiangnan sneered coldly. These two really were cut from the same cloth!

Then he said viciously: "Lure Jiangnan? What's the point of that now? Jiangnan got killed by the Yexu Dragon Loach and the others!"

Chen Dao'er shot to his feet: "What? Jiangnan is dead? Are you sure?"

Back then, he had already stopped breathing and hadn't paid attention to what happened to Jiangnan!

Jiangnan said firmly: "Why would I lie to you? I saw it with my own eyes!"

Chen Dao'er looked dazed, then slumped to the ground in defeat!

"Dead? It's the will of heaven! Dead is fine! Serves him right!"

That way, although the Chen family couldn't get the complete Spirit Veil, no one else could either!

Jiangnan gritted his teeth: "I can't earn Jiangnan's share anymore. So many people died, and I can't have come here for nothing. Do you still want that crystal tablet or not?"

Chen Dao'er's spirits lifted: "What? Did you bring it out?"

Jiangnan didn't speak, just pulled a fragment of the crystal tablet from his pocket!

Chen Dao'er reached out to take it, but Jiangnan stepped back two paces and stuffed the crystal tablet back into his pocket!

"Second Master! You know the rules of the trade, don't you? Cash on delivery!"

"1 billion! Not a cent less!"

(๑¯ิٹ¯ิ) Hehehe~ The system cheated me out of money? I'll just earn it right back, not even overnight!

I'm such a genius!

Chen Dao'er was stunned: "Wasn't it supposed to be 3 billion? How come you..."

Reverse bargaining?

Jiangnan's expression froze. Damn!

Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ノノ What?

I asked for too little? This... this thing is worth 3 billion?

They'd already discussed the price beforehand?

By asking low, he'd just lost 2 billion in one go. Jiangnan's heart was bleeding!

Was I not greedy enough?

Should I rewind and renegotiate the price?

But there were over twenty people in the tree hollow. He couldn't slap all their mouths!

Jiangnan's eyes darted: "1 billion is enough. I know my limits!"

"Besides that, there's one more condition: you guarantee that my brothers and I can safely withdraw from the Void Sea!"

Chen Dao'er squinted and sneered. So Jin Hao was scared? He knew he was outnumbered and outgunned now, afraid they'd double-cross him?

So he lowered the price to save his own skin?

At that moment, Chen Dao'er's eyes gradually turned dangerous. The more you back down, the more I want to eat you up!

Jiangnan said coldly: "Second Master, I've already given the Chen family enough face by slashing 2 billion myself."

"What, do you want to take my stuff without paying a cent? Sure, you can keep me here, but do you think I'd be stupid enough to bring the complete crystal tablet?"

"Nobody knows where I hid the crystal tablet but me. If I die, you won't get it either!"

Chen Dao'er's eyes flickered, then he burst into loud laughter: "Brother, what are you saying? That couldn't be! This 1 billion is just small change!"

"Alright! Deal!"

So Jiangnan stretched out his little hand!

(๑ᵔ◡ᵔ)つ(•̀ࡇ•́◟)?

Chen Dao'er's expression stiffened: "You... what are you doing?"

Jiangnan was confused: "Pay up? Cash on delivery!"

Chen Dao'er's face darkened: "I don't even have a pair of shorts on me right now. Where am I supposed to get money?"

"I'll give it to you after we get out. You give me the tablet first..."

Jiangnan cut him off directly!

"No way! Either write me a check or an IOU. Otherwise, I absolutely cannot give you the crystal tablet!"

As he spoke, he rummaged through his pockets, even pulling out paper, a pen, and an ink pad!

Chen An and the others watched this scene in utter bewilderment!

Were poachers these days this professional? They carried this stuff around?

Chen Dao'er said impatiently: "Fine, fine, fine! I'll write it for you!"

So he started writing, while Jiangnan even pulled out his phone and switched it to selfie mode!

He ran over to Chen Dao'er, put his arm around his shoulder, and started recording a video!

"Second Master, don't mind me. I'm just filming a little evidence so you won't deny it later, right?"

(ꐦ◞•̀益•́)(๑´◡`)つ[]

After scribbling the IOU, they both pressed their fingerprints.

Jiangnan quickly took it and looked it over, grinning from ear to ear!

*IOU*

*I, Chen Dao'er, owe Jin Hao 1 billion for the purchase of the crystal tablet. To be repaid after leaving the Void Sea. Fingerprint as proof.*

*Debtor: Chen Dao'er*
*Fingerprint:* ຈ​

*Lender: Jin Hao*
*Fingerprint:* ๑​

"Satisfied? The crystal tablet..."

Jiangnan shook his head: "No! You have to read it aloud to the camera before I feel reassured!"

Two veins bulged on Chen Dao'er's forehead. Just how scared were you that I wouldn't pay?

So he read it aloud again, impatiently.

"Big brother! I, Second Brother! Just give him the money directly!"

Jiangnan smiled: "I didn't threaten you, did I? This is all voluntary, right?"

Chen Dao'er took a deep breath: "No threats! Everything is of my own free will!"

Jiangnan was about to say more, but Chen Dao'er exploded!

(ꐦఠ益ఠ)و "Are you done or not? It's only 1 billion! Annoying!"

"Do you want me to swear to my ancestors that if I don't pay, my whole family dies?"

Jiangnan looked thoughtful: "I think that's really necessary. Let's..."

Chen Dao'er was shaking with rage: "Get lost! Hurry up and give me the crystal tablet!"

Seeing that the guy was about to explode from anger, Jiangnan didn't dawdle. He grinned.

"I don't have the crystal tablet on me. I buried it on the giant floating island. You'll have to come with me to get it."

"I don't dare go alone. That place has a nest of Yexu Dragon Loaches..."

Chen Dao'er took a deep breath: "We should be fine if we're careful. Let's go! Follow me!"

The group exited the yew tree, concealed their tracks, and headed straight for the giant floating island!

At this moment, Liu Mang, silently following behind everyone, looked at Jiangnan like he was a god!

He had just swindled 1 billion? And now he was leading them straight into the trap?

Making them contribute the last of their value before they died?

You are truly evil! Your heart is blacker than mine!

Jiangnan chuckled to himself. Wasn't this a perfect scapegoat?

As long as he led Chen Dao'er within 100,000 meters of the underground chamber, everything would be fine!

---

At that moment, in the underground chamber, Zhang San sat on the core fragment, his heart full of anxiety.

Could the Southern God have forgotten about me again? When is he going to come pick me up?

Right then, Jiangnan had already led Chen Dao'er and his crew onto the giant floating island!

They entered the 100,000-meter range, and Jiangnan sensed the spatial mark he had left on Zhang San!

Chen Dao'er urged: "Can you find it or not? Hurry up! If that Dragon Loach notices us, we're doomed!"

Jiangnan rubbed his nose: "Wait for me here. Don't peek! I'll go get the tablet!"

With that, he ran behind a large boulder in the distance. Chen Dao'er curled his lip.

Acting all mysterious? Afraid someone would watch?

Behind the rock, Jiangnan stripped off his clothes in three seconds. Since the invisibility had worn off, he put on another invisibility cloak.

Jiangnan Antenna upgraded to Jiang Fatty Red!

He pinched the antenna on his head and turned invisible!

The next moment, a bewildered Zhang San was displaced to behind the boulder!

He was even still in a sitting position and landed on his butt!

(๑⁼̴ࡇ⁼̴)?

He stood up and looked around. What was going on?

Where was this? Wasn't he in the underground chamber?

Damn? Chen Dao'er? Wasn't this guy dead?

The long-distance displacement made Zhang San dizzy and even a little nauseous!

He stood there at a loss!

Meanwhile, the invisible Jiang Fatty Red appeared on top of the core fragment in the underground chamber!

Ten evil beasts were lying on the ground, bored out of their minds, waiting for the Dragon Loach to finish hunting and return!

Jiang Fatty Red was brimming with excitement. Zhang San was impressive!

He had really infiltrated the enemy camp and was even sitting arrogantly on the core fragment?

So he raised his hand and patted the core fragment, leaving his spatial mark on it!

Without wasting a second, Jiangnan teleported next to a huge silver ring!

He stuffed the whole thing, base and all, into his alternate dimension!

The evil beasts heard the noise and turned around. The silver ring and its base had vanished out of thin air!

Jiang Fatty Red grinned. Spatial displacement activated again!

Chen Dao'er felt a blur before his eyes, and the scene around him changed!

He found himself inside the underground chamber!

When the ten evil beasts saw the silver ring was gone and spotted Chen Dao'er in the middle of the chamber, they completely lost it!

Murderous, vicious gazes locked onto him!

Chen Dao'er's forehead poured with sweat, and his legs trembled like rubber bands!

(‧̣̥̇ʘ̆Дʘ̥̆‖‧̣̥̇)

He pissed his pants on the spot!

Wasn't he in the dense forest? How did he end up in the lair of these spirit beasts?

This... wasn't this a little calf rolling its eyes? He was completely screwed!
