Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 1163 - 917: Reception

Jiang Yuan laughed happily; the trapped supernatural creatures were scared to death.

They had never seen this kind of non-purification weapon that completely restrained them, especially with the circular array enclosing all the creatures in one place. With nowhere to escape, the enemy standing outside the array, unable to even fight back, dying like this was really suffocating!

Even more terrifying was that once their companions died, there wasn’t even a trace left of their bones, and the opponent’s weapon could attack indiscriminately. The remaining dozens of supernatural creatures hid in the very center of the small forest, panicked and discussing.

"Elder, you have been living in seclusion here the longest, you have the highest realm, and always have ways to solve things, think of something to save everyone!"

"Hurry! His hook is flying over again!"

"What can this old man do? I’ve said all kinds of good things, agreeing to serve him as master, but that kid completely ignores them, what else can I do?"

"He’s muttering about tools, does he want a magical treasure? Why not give it to him?"

"Are you stupid? Killing us means everything belongs to him? That kid isn’t foolish, he definitely won’t stop!"

"Right, right, we have to trade what’s in our heads!"

......

Earlier when attacked, there were many supernatural creatures, and they just wanted to hide inside to avoid being affected.

Now the numbers were dwindling, seeing the catastrophe approaching, the most cunning group quickly came up with an idea.

The one called "Elder" with white brows and beard, who loves to talk about philosophy, hid behind a tree and raised his voice: "Friend, you must be tired as well, take a break and listen to a few words from this old man!

You have a powerful divine artifact that can kill us, yet you’re standing outside the array, you don’t have to worry about us having any traps that might deceive you.

The magical artifacts and treasures we retain after going through hardships, are things that naturally would be yours after all of us are dead. But if you kill us all, the cultivation techniques we gained from years of meditation and enlightenment will be lost forever!"

Hmm? There are actually cultivation techniques?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan paused his Soul Hook and laughed: "I even have a divine artifact that restrains supernatural creatures, ordinary cultivation techniques are hard to catch my eye. What good cultivation techniques do you have, let’s hear it."

Finally, there was a turn for the better, and the remaining supernatural creatures slightly relaxed and all looked expectantly at the elder.

Before being corrupted into supernatural creatures, these hermits were considered part of the righteous path. Unfortunately, now they appeared human-like on the surface, but their minds and thoughts were polluted and twisted, making them difficult to understand with common logic.

"We are all loose cultivator hermits, our realms are not too high, or else we could overturn the world during cataclysmic events." The elder instantly thought of many ideas and loudly said: "But among us, there are puppet masters skilled in puppetry techniques, dream makers skilled in nightmare techniques, appraisers, alchemists, builders, all with cultivation techniques or pill formulas, and blueprints to offer!"

The cultivation areas are quite diverse, but they all sound interesting.

Regardless, with so few supernatural creatures left, it’s impossible to complete any new missions all at once. Jiang Yuan asked: "Writing cultivation techniques isn’t something ordinary cultivators can do, can you all manage it?"

"Yes! Definitely! I am a writer capable of copying. Whether it’s cultivation techniques, pill formulas, or blueprints, they can all be replicated one by one. But it will take some time, and I hope to exchange all these verified items for a safe path with you."

He saw through the elder’s wordplay, immediately breaking it by provoking: "Oh? You’re not greedy. After handing it over, I can grant only you a safe path."

Many supernatural creatures were suddenly anxious, "Elder, what do you mean by this?"

"You can’t abandon us!"

"We might as well all die together, you’re not going to take our cultivation techniques and blueprints for your own escape..."

......

Faced with a crisis, they indeed started in-fighting. Jiang Yuan held back his amusement and proposed: "How about this, anyone contributing cultivation techniques, pill formulas, or blueprints, I will grant a safe path.

The more contributed, the better the place I choose for them, how’s that?

Of course, if the writer lacks skill leading to failed cultivation techniques, or if they try to trick me with inferior goods, then I won’t give any further chances, and will just kill them all!"

"You can rest assured, we will keep an eye on the elder to make sure nothing goes wrong."

"But how do we know that you will definitely keep your promise then?" Just as one supernatural creature voiced skepticism, the elder glared, "Shush! Is there a better option now?"

Either die immediately or delay for a while to think of another solution, between these two options, who wouldn’t choose the latter if they’re not foolish.

Jiang Yuan intended to play word games to tease these supernatural creatures. Truly getting cultivation techniques and blueprints was an unexpected gain, and after setting the conditions, he swiftly left.

The elder sighed deeply, "Ah, that killer has finally left."

"I wanted to ask just now, you kept stopping me, what if that kid takes our cultivation techniques and blueprints but doesn’t keep his word, wouldn’t we be happy for nothing?"

"Yeah, his casual words can’t be fully trusted!"

"That kid has been killing for quite a short time, haven’t you noticed anything?" The elder didn’t answer directly but said dismissively: "He only dares to stand outside the array and swing that hook in to kill, plus I haven’t noticed any purification breath, which means—he can’t get too close to us, otherwise, he’d be contaminated."

The supernatural creatures were looking at each other.

The elder continued smugly: "I’ve watched for a long time, he keeps changing positions to attack, just to ensure he can maintain a safe distance from us. Unfortunately, we’re trapped here in such a small space, suddenly attacked without preparation and nowhere to hide.
