Chapter 289: Chapter 289 Black-Backed Blood-Eye Ape
Jiang Fan shook his head and declined calmly.
These claws had been shown publicly at the entrance of the Desires Sect.
Sun Chaozong was present!
If he took them out for the exchange now, his identity would be immediately exposed.
Given Sun Chaozong’s penchant for reporting, he might reveal his presence to the Desires Sect right then and there.
This matter could only be exchanged secretly.
Ouyang Jun looked disappointed.
After asking the others, no one else could exchange it either.
He was greatly disappointed, wrapped the iron box with a cloth strip, and said, “Alright then, next person, please show the items you wish to sell.”
He didn’t reduce the price any further.
Everyone had no choice but to extinguish their hopes and focus on the upcoming exchanges.
All those present were elite disciples, and the items they brought out were quite impressive.
Even Jiang Fan felt a bit tempted by many of them.
But considering he already had quite a lot of items on him, he could only suppress his burgeoning shopping desires.
“It’s your turn, brother.”
Ouyang Jun reminded him.
Just then, Gu Fan heard a sound he shouldn’t have – someone knocking on Lin Xi’s door across the corridor, and heard his romantic rival Du Jun’s voice: “Lin Xi, this is Du Jun.”
Then the sound of the door opening. Gu Fan and Lu Yi pricked up their ears to listen, silently cursing that the scoundrel Du Jun just couldn’t let Lin Xi go and was now up to something new.
They heard Lin Xi’s sweet voice reply: “Du Jun, what can I do for you?”
Du Jun answered: “Well, we thought since we’re here, why not go out for a walk, there are a few mountains around. I’ve asked around and there aren’t any dangerous animals or poisonous snakes, it’s very safe. Plus, I heard it’s beautiful on the mountain top where you can see the lights of the ancient town below. I was thinking of inviting everyone for a hike.”
“Going mountain climbing this late?” Judging from the tone, Lin Xi was a bit hesitant, but then the others began to coax her: “Don’t worry, we’ll all go together, looking out for each other. We’ve checked the route, the mountain path is well maintained, it won’t be hard at all.”
Lin Xi said: “That sounds nice, let me ask Gu Fan if he wants to go.”
Jiang Fan nodded slightly.
He poured out a Three-step Drunk pill from the jade bottle and accurately threw it into the prison cart.
Ouyang Jun laughed, “No need to try, brother.”
“This beast is extremely rebellious; ever since it was captured, it has refused to eat anything.”
“It won’t eat anything we feed it.”
“Even if we force-fed it, it would spit it out or gouge its own throat to vomit everything in its stomach.”
At this point, he showed a troubled expression.
“I’m worried it might starve or dehydrate to death before we reach the Spirit Beast Sect.”
The others clicked their tongues in amazement.
This ape was indeed fierce!
Someone quickly noticed something was off.
“Fasting? Then what’s it doing now?”
Ouyang Jun looked down and was stunned.
The red pill lay in the prison cart, and the Black-Backed Blood-Eye Ape was, as usual, raging furiously.
Struggling and swinging its chains, it rejected any feeding attempts.
But suddenly, it sniffed around.
It then began searching.
Upon finding the Three-step Drunk, it furiously raised its foot to crush it.
But this time, it couldn’t bring itself to stomp down.
A look of struggle and pain appeared on its face.
Eventually, it drew back its foot, slowly bent down, and picked up the Three-step Drunk.
Sometimes bringing it to its mouth and sometimes wanting to throw it away.
After much struggle, it couldn’t resist any longer and swallowed it whole, gulping it down.
Ouyang Jun was astonished, “It… it actually ate it voluntarily?”
“Brother, your pill is indeed miraculous?”
“Demon beasts can’t resist its allure at all.”
Jiang Fan remained expressionless, “Keep watching.”
They still didn’t know the pill’s effects.
Ouyang Jun watched curiously, trying to guess the pill’s effects.
“Most likely, it’s a sedative for demon beasts?”
“But for such an extremely fierce demon beast as the Black-Backed Blood-Eye Ape, it might not be effective.”
On the journey, he had used several sedatives on it.
Even spent a huge amount of money buying top-level sedatives that could make demon beasts unconscious in an hour.
Yet none had made it pass out.
Could Jiang Fan’s small pill really work?
The results might be disappointing.
Just as he thought this, less than ten breaths after the Black-Backed Blood-Eye Ape swallowed the pill.
It suddenly began to stagger.
Seeming to realize something, it grabbed the cage, shaking its head vehemently to avoid passing out.
But the overwhelming dizziness was irresistible.
Eventually, it collapsed heavily with a thud.
The elite disciples present were utterly stunned.
“It passed out in just ten breaths after swallowing the pill?”
“Even for a Core Formation Realm demon beast?”
“And one as extremely ferocious as an ape?”
“The most terrifying part is, the demon beast couldn’t resist the pill’s allure, knowing it wasn’t something good, yet still couldn’t help but eat it.”
“If someone scattered these pills on the frontline of the Beast Tide, the effect would be…”
The numerous disciples all stared intently at the few remaining red pills in Jiang Fan’s hand.
Their eyes were burning with eagerness.
This was a valuable item!
Besides Sorrow Frost, it was the best item so far!
