Chapter 560 If You Can't Beat Them, Join Them
The Sand Treasure King keeps a four-hour rest every day.
It doesn't actually need sleep.
The treasure chest monster will remain motionless, using its own body as a trap to lure various humans or other lives to approach.
Each treasure chest monster is a natural hunter. They can remain motionless for days or months, waiting for their prey to lose their defense and vigilance, and step by step fall into the trap.
Greedy and curious openers will always try to touch the treasure chest and want to open it.
At this time, the treasure chest monster will suddenly attack, swallow the prey into the box in one bite, and lock it inside. No matter how the prey struggles, it is difficult to escape until it agrees to all the demands of the treasure chest monster.
In fact, the treasure chest monster doesn't want much.
They like hunting and treasures. If the slaves in the box can pay enough chips, the treasure chest monster doesn't mind giving them freedom.
If it is a powerful and invincible prey, the treasure chest will run away. Their natural speed allows them to escape from danger and avoid becoming the prey of the other party.
Every day, the treasure chest monsters look for targets, pretend to hunt, and then move to the next place to continue luring prey.
When they disguise themselves as treasure chests, they will make themselves believe that they are lifeless boxes.
They must deceive themselves before they can deceive others. At this time, they will fall into a state of confusion and will not show any abnormality.
"Why do you want to sleep? Sleeping can't bring any improvement to the treasure chest monster."
The Ice Mist Box persuaded the Sand Treasure King: "If you have that time to hunt, you may have caught the prey."
"This is to bring it into people's lives and figure out their thoughts."
The Sand Treasure King explained: "It will become more and more difficult to catch people in the future just by traditional methods. I try to find their flaws and habits from their perspective and lifestyle."
A cloud of white mist rose from the box of the Ice Mist Box: "You have figured out what you have figured out for so many years?"
The Sand Treasure King was silent for a moment Huier: "People are greedy."
"Once they have a seashell, they will want a second and a third one; once they have a treasure chest, they will want to open it and take it for themselves; sleeping makes them feel comfortable, so they will often sleep in... People like to do things endlessly."
"Have you figured out a new way to hunt people?"
"Not yet."
"Tell me if you think of one. I have to go hunting. Recently, many tourists from other places have come to the city of immortality. It's a good opportunity to ambush."
Sand Treasure King watched the ice mist box jump and dive into a pile of ice.
The ice mist box shook off some broken ice, revealing a corner of the silver treasure chest on the surface, pretending to be squeezed by the ice layer and exposed to the world.
Sand Treasure King was a little depressed.
It hasn't finished yet.
Traditional hunting has many disadvantages.
According to the investigation conducted by Sand Treasure King, the success rate of hunting 14 treasure chest monsters that have been active around the city of immortality has dropped from 20% two years ago to 8%, while in the desert farther away, the success rate of hunting treasure chest monsters is less than 4%.
It is even more difficult to succeed near the Sand City and Bailing Tribe Village, because many people there are knowledgeable and experienced, and the treasure chest monsters no longer appear in the vicinity.
Bingwu Box thinks: "Then we should focus on hunting. More time and more hunting times can maintain the prey in the past."
That's not the case at all.
The Yao tribe has become more and more familiar with the treasure chest monsters, while the treasure chest monsters don't know the Yao tribe well enough.
Indeed, there will still be greedy and lucky guys who will be fooled - there will always be such people. But with the continuous publicity of the Yao tribe, the ability and hunting methods of the treasure chest monsters are no longer a secret.
In the past, the enemy was in the open and we were in the dark, and now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the open, the situation is not good.
If it continues, it will be a matter of time before the treasure chest monsters become prey.
Sha Baowang sighed.
Knowing that this harsh situation does not seem to be of much use, it can only adopt the traditional squatting method and wait for a destined person to appear.
…
Today, many people came and went in the border area between the Land of Mist and the desert, but they just pointed at the Sand Treasure King who was stuck in the sand.
“Isn’t that a treasure chest monster? I heard that in order to attract people, they often lie down in various places like this, pretending that there are treasures in the box. They are really hard to live.”
“These are all old tricks from ten years ago. It’s not easy to be fooled.”
“It looks very pitiful, why don’t we give it some seashells.”
“The weather is so hot, the skin of the treasure chest monster will be cracked by the sun all the time, right? I heard that they are also flesh and blood.”
Two young men came over, and they put down a pottery pot filled with water not far from the Sand Treasure King, and also threw down two seashells.
After they left completely.
The Sand Treasure King shook the sand and jumped up.
Damn!
How dare they look down on the treasure chest monster!
The Sand Treasure King wanted to kick the kettle to pieces, but in the end, it still put the pottery pot and seashells into its own box.
The situation is stronger than people. The hunting market is not good now, so we should get as much as we can.
Just when King Shabao was about to finish his work and find a place to sleep, a figure walked towards him.
It immediately switched to the form of a treasure chest.
The man was wrapped in a black robe. He stumbled in the desert, looking tired and weak. The strange thing was that his body was very soft, as if he had no bones.
He came over.
Opportunity!
Here it comes!
King Shabao held his breath and concentrated.
The man in black robe sat next to the treasure chest, panting.
Just when King Shabao was about to attack, the other party suddenly said: "You, are you a treasure chest monster?"
It was neither the accent of Sand City nor that of the people from Yao Country. His Yao language had a strong accent.
"I won't live long."
The other party said: "Eat me, I'll give it to you. At least it won't be wasted."
Sand King couldn't handle this.
Should I eat it now or not?
If I eat it, it feels a bit like bullying the weak. Bullying a terminally ill person is not in line with its style.
Sand King has a lofty goal, which is to eventually become a box god and be listed as a statue in the temple as the right-hand man of the Supreme God Yaoshen.
It knows that this is very difficult.
But if the treasure chest monster has no ideals, what is the difference between it and a rotten box?
Sand King has always wanted to use his upright strength and superb skills to capture prey, show his ability and value, and finally be discovered by Yaoshen from the same group.
From the words of this person who wants to die, Sand King heard a kind of self-abandonment and lifelessness.
This reminds it of some treasure chest monsters.
King Shabao said, we have to find a way to change the status quo, everyone can think of ways and give each other ideas. They said, what's the use?
That's the tone.
King Shabao snorted coldly.
"The treasure chest monster is not a trash can. If you want to commit suicide, go to another place."
The other party was stunned for a moment: "Didn't they say that the treasure chest monster pretends to be a treasure chest just to eat people?"
Then the man was sad: "Hey, even the treasure chest monster doesn't want to eat me... I'm really a waste."
King Shabao wanted to curse a few words, but considering that the other party was already terminally ill, he thought about it and let it go.
It said: "It's not easy for any race to live, you have to stand up for yourself."
"But I'm going to die soon, my body is constantly dissolving."
The black-robed man sat on the ground and coughed up a mouthful of blood on the ground.
It is called Blood Fang, from the Blood Hill World, and is a young blood ancestor in Binghu City.
The blood ancestor can transform into a blood demon through the gene sequence activation potion, but Blood Fang failed. Not only did it fail to be promoted to a blood demon, but it fell into an extremely weak and morbid state.
Normal blood demons are huge, can condense and store a lot of blood elements and blood, have a strong body and the top power of the blood clan.
But Blood Fang's body is smaller than that of the Blood Ancestor in the past, becoming more slender and weak.
It feels hot and cold all over, and the blood in its body is split into two strands. These two kinds of blood are like two spiral ropes, pulling each other madly, making Blood Fang painful and embarrassed.
Blood Fang will keep shaking and coughing up blood. The blood in the body is getting less and less, and it is difficult for the body to stabilize in human form.
What's more terrible is that its blood will pollute and assimilate the blood and blood elements in the blood pool.
The blood demon and blood ancestor of Binghu City repeatedly checked its condition and asked the most experienced vampire doctor of the Yao clan to treat it.
Everyone finally concluded that this is a blood poisoning disease that has never been seen before, which will cause pollution of the blood pool and even the blood lake, and there is no cure.
Between permanent imprisonment and leaving, Blood Fang chose the latter and came all the way to Sand City, ready to end his life in the Immortal City, where the glacier is a paradise of toxins.
Its symptoms became more and more serious along the way, and it became drowsy. It barely reached the edge of the Land of Mist. Bloodfang had already tried its best and could collapse at any time.
After hearing about Bloodfang's situation, King Shabao dared not move.
This guy is a blood poisonous body. If he eats it, will he be in trouble? Although the treasure chest monster is a special life, it also has blood.
"Eat me, help me, it hurts, it hurts, just think of it as helping me die in advance. I can't tolerate myself dying without any value, it's too wasteful, at least let me fill your stomach!"
Bloodfang began to lift the lid of the box and wanted to get in.
"Wait, wait a minute, calm down!"
Bloodfang was bleeding all over.
King Shabao was sweating coldly.
It already felt something bad, and its body seemed to be getting stiff, sometimes cold and sometimes hot, and its body was shaking all the time.
Bloodfang coughed up another mouthful of blood on the treasure chest.
At the critical moment of life and death, King Shabao suddenly thought of a way.
"I can save you!"
"How is it possible..."
"Yes!"
Sand King tried to calm the frantic Blood Fang: "Just go in and freeze you with ice, and you can delay death! This has been proven to be effective! On the ice field of the Fog Kingdom, there is a life that was completely frozen. In the end, the ice was melted and it was found that it was still alive!"
"The blood clan has a strong vitality, and it must be useful there!"
"This can also delay death, and wait until the doctors find a way to treat you! This method will definitely work!"
Blood Fang was stunned, and it thought about it.
"You just don't want to eat me, right?"
"... I just think it's unnecessary, you still have hope of living."
"You are such a good person."
Blood Fang said gratefully: "I will not forget you, if I can still live, I will definitely repay you. But now I can't walk, can you take me there?"
Sand King nodded quickly.
The treasure chest monsters target normal prey, and no one wants to provoke poisonous lunatics.
So, Sand King carried Blood Fang all the way into the Fog Kingdom. However, before entering the Land of Mist, the blood fangs completely melted and turned into solidified blood clots that seeped into the treasure chest.
These blood clots turned into blood-colored crystals that were connected together at low temperatures.
King Sha Bao wanted to cry but had no tears.
If you want to die, you should hold on until you die here. It's just a short distance away...
Sand King returned to the hot desert and tried to clean out the blood teeth in his box. However, the sticky blood and blood elements recovered slightly and penetrated into the box, scaring the treasure chest monster to run all the way back to the cold fog country.
It had no other choice but to come to the inexhaustible spring.
There is a knight under the command of the gods here.
He has been standing here since the opening of the fog country. The blood knight witnessed the awakening of the Nibelung family, the birth of the three frost giant brothers, and silently watched this strange country.
Sand King prayed in front of the knight standing with a sword: "Glorious Blood Knight, I, the treasure chest monster Sha Bao, ask you to give me guidance. I was penetrated into the box by a blood ancestor suffering from blood poisoning..."
"Please tell me what I should do."
The blood knight did not move, and an emotionless voice came from the armor.
"Die."
Sand King was in despair.
"No."
Sand King survived from despair.
The Apostle is really something, splitting a sentence into two parts.
It said respectfully again: "Lord Blood Knight, I have always been a loyal follower of God Yao, but now I find that the treasure chest monster clan is in trouble. I can't find a way. Can you show us a way?"
The Blood Knight said: "If you can't beat it, join it."
"..."
Sand Treasure King found it a little hard to accept.
But after it calmed down, it thought about it carefully and found that this was a good way.
...
Two days later, a treasure chest monster appeared in the Immortal City. It was not like other treasure chest monsters that pretended to be ancient treasure chests, but jumped around actively on the road.
A flag was erected on the treasure chest.
The flag read.
"Invest 10 seashells to open the box once, and you can take any treasure inside! Clear the inventory, the sooner you come, the sooner you get it, while stocks last!"
A large number of people came uninvited, and even lined up to get close to it, waiting to be deceived by it one by one.
Sand Treasure King became famous.
