Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely Chapter 304 – Ulterior Motives   

The situation that Liu Xian introduced seemed to be very tempting.

After all, Liu Wen and Yang Tianqi had just arrived. If someone could help them take down a demon beast first, they would be able to understand the situation here a lot.

Moreover, from what they said, the trap had almost been set up, but they still acted so calmly, as if they wanted to invite the two of them to join them. If the two of them could pick up such a benefit for no reason, although they would not be able to keep the demon core, they would be able to understand the situation here better.

The two brothers had a disagreement. Liu Wen's eyes were filled with eagerness, but Yang Tianqi was very hesitant.

Liu Xian's gaze landed on the two brothers and had never left them. Seeing that there was such a disagreement between the two of them, he hurriedly pretended to be nonchalant and said, “Actually, the two of us are still a little inappropriate. Although we set up the trap, it's still a Foundation Establishment demon beast. The two of us aren't very confident. If we can find two people to join, the success rate will be much higher. I see that the cultivation of the two of you is extraordinary. If you can lend us a hand, we will be eternally grateful.”

After he finished speaking, Liu Wen was even more tempted. “How strong are the demon beasts? Can't the two of you deal with them even with a trap?”

A smug expression appeared in Liu Xian's eyes, but he hid it very well. He said sadly, “Seeing that you two brothers are honest people, I won't hide it. To be honest, I'm injured. Otherwise, the two of us could have taken it down.”

Liu Wen asked bluntly, “I wonder what we need to do if the two of us want to join?”

Liu Xian replied with a smile, “You don't have to do much. You just have to back us up. The two of us will lure that demon beast into a trap. If the pig demon escapes outside, the two of you will help us chase it back. It's that simple.”

Liu Wen's eyes darted around. It didn't sound dangerous. Since they were at the back, they shouldn't be in a very awkward situation. If they could be part of it and obtain some benefits, it seemed to be a good deal.

“In that case, I'm willing to join.”

“Liu Wen.”

Yang Tianqi was about to stop Liu Wen, but Liu Wen had already promised the two of them.

Liu Xian did not give the two brothers any chance to regret. He went up and grabbed Liu Wen's hand, calling him brother gratefully.

“Good brother, it's all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, we wouldn't know where to find these two people. With the two of you around, I believe the success rate will be much higher.”

Liu Wen was vaguely worried. He turned to Yang Tianqi and said, “I'll go myself this time. Wait for me elsewhere first.”

“Don't.” Liu Xian panicked when he heard that. “That pig demon is powerful. I'm afraid we won't be able to stop it alone. I think we should…”

“I'll go with you.”

Ten miles away, a flat empty space surrounded by trees was quiet. There seemed to be nothing beside it.

In the surrounding bushes, Liu Wen and Yang Tianqi were carefully lying low.

“You're really too rash. This place gives me a very bad feeling.”

Yang Tianqi looked around and felt that the two of them seemed to be surrounded by three big trees. Although this was a very good hiding place, it gave him a strange feeling.

Liu Wen stared straight ahead, waiting for the two fellows to chase the pig demon over.

“You can choose not to come. If I'm the only one who comes, you'll get out alive. Why did you come with me?”

Yang Tianqi shook his head helplessly and said, “What are you talking about? We promised Master to take care of each other. How can I leave you here?”

Just now, Liu Wen had rashly agreed to the two people's request without figuring out their situation. If the two of them had ulterior motives, Liu Wen and Yang Tianqi would be in a very dangerous situation.

Fortunately, nothing seemed to have gone wrong so far. Everything was going quite smoothly.

After a while, there was a sudden commotion in the forest.

The two of them stared fixedly at the narrow entrance. It was where Liu Xian had agreed to let the pig demon in.

As expected, after a strong spiritual energy fluctuation, a huge black pig demon roared and rushed in from the entrance of the path. Its speed did not decrease at all as it rushed towards Liu Wen and Yang Tianqi.

The two of them frowned slightly. Looking at the extremely fast pig demon, they were at a loss.

According to their original settings, it should be the two of them who controlled the pig demon first and tried their best to stay within the range of the trap. When the pig demon rushed in, they would immediately reel in the net and put them away. This way, everything would be over and done with. Unless an unexpected situation happened, Liu Wen and Yang Tianqi would not need to make a move.

But now, it seemed like the pig demon was completely out of control. Its eyes were red as it rushed towards them, as if its target was very clear. It was coming for the two of them.

This was very strange.

“Something's wrong. Where did Liu Xian and the others go? Why can't I see them now?”

Liu Wen also found it strange, but when he looked behind the pig demon, there was no sign of the two fellows. The back was empty. There seemed to be shouts of killing just now, but he could not see anything now.

“Something's wrong. What are the two of them doing? Did something happen?”

“I don't think these two are good people. The situation doesn't seem right. Let's retreat quickly. This pig demon is not weak. It might not be a good thing if we forcefully take it here.”

Just as the two of them were about to turn around and retreat, they suddenly heard Liu Xian's voice in front of them.

“Little brothers, hurry up and help us stop the pig demon. The two of us were injured just now, so he escaped. Chase the pig demon back. We'll activate the array immediately.”

The two brothers were about to turn around and leave when they suddenly heard such a voice. They hesitated for a moment.

“How so?”

“Forget it, let's make a move first.”

At this moment, the pig demon had already rushed in front of the two of them like a madman. It seemed to have a specific target and wanted to rush towards the two of them. It was as if it did not care about anything else.

Although they did not know why this beast was so arrogant, the two brothers still took out their weapons and waited.

A slender sword appeared in their hands at the same time. This sword was very light and looked like it was made by the same craftsman.

Just as the pig demon was less than fifty feet away from them, the two of them attacked at the same time. The swords in their hands suddenly trembled as they rushed towards the pig demon.

The two of them did not intend to wait for the pig demon to come before attacking. Instead, they wanted to be the first to attack and block the pig demon in the array formation.

However, just as the two of them were about to rush out, there was a flash of light in front of them. Countless patterns appeared on the trunks of the three trees. These fine patterns connected together and formed a secret net.

The huge net covered Liu Wen and Yang Tianqi's heads, forcefully trapping them in the middle.

Before the two of them could react, the pig demon had already arrived.

After a short moment of panic, the two brothers suddenly took out the shield that Huang Daxian had given them. A thin layer of air condensed around their bodies and they collided with the pig demon.

Their movement techniques were very good under Li Yuanqing's training. The two of them barely managed to divert their strength to the side and drag the huge net. Taking advantage of the pig demon's fierce attack, they jumped up and hung on the tree.

The pig demon's eyes were red and he was panting heavily. He widened his eyes in anger and looked around, but he could not find anyone.

Just as Liu Wen and Yang Tianqi heaved a sigh of relief, they suddenly felt a very strange energy coming from the huge net hanging on their bodies, causing the strength in their bodies to be chaotic.

The bit of power that the two of them had just gathered was almost resolved. They could only barely hang on the branch, hoping that the pig demon would not discover them.

The pig demon looked around and suddenly discovered the two people hanging on the tree. It was instantly furious and roared at the sky. Its thick hind legs suddenly kicked the ground heavily, creating two huge pits.

When the two brothers saw this situation, they hurriedly pulled hard and hung on the branch, climbing up. The pig demon bit the net, but it felt like its lips were scalded by something and hurriedly let go.

The pig demon saw that the two of them were hanging on the tree and were unwilling to come down no matter what. It was also anxious to get it. The two of them had no choice at all. At this moment, Liu Xian and Zhao Gang appeared from outside.

The two of them each held an array flag in their hands and waved it a few times.

The originally narrow space inside suddenly seemed to have become cramped. The pig demon could originally withstand it, but it felt that its movements had become more and more difficult. This fellow was considered smart. It directly rushed in Liu Xian's direction, wanting to block their attacks.

However, this was useless. Instead, it slammed heavily into the net.

Liu Xian looked at the charging pig demon and could not help but laugh out loud.

“Brother Zhao, what did I say? I casually found two hotheads to be bait and took down this pig demon. You don't believe how simple it is.”

Zhao Gang was a taciturn person. At this moment, he revealed a smug smile.

“We have to thank our two good brothers for this. Their strength is extraordinary. I didn't expect the two of them to have such extraordinary strength at their age. They were able to survive a round in the mouth of this pig demon without being injured. That's why they could drag the pig demon here and let us operate the entire array.”

Their people acted as if there was no one else around. They conversed without taking Liu Wen to heart, as if these two fellows were already dead.

“Alright, you two bastards. As expected, you planned this long ago,” Yang Tianqi said coldly as he looked at Liu Xian below.

Liu Xian could not help but grin as if he had heard a huge joke.

“Little guy, what are you saying? We're teaching you a lesson. Do you really think anyone will be willing to cooperate with you here? If I can kill the two of you and get all your life-saving things, they'll be mine.”

At this moment, Zhao Gang also became more talkative. “What do you mean by not fighting each other? It's all nonsense to preserve your strength. As long as you die, all your life-saving equipment will be mine. It's much better to gather your things than to scatter them.”

“Hahaha!”

Liu Xian smiled very happily. He really did not expect his gains to be so abundant this time. Moreover, these two little fellows looked like children from rich families. The equipment on them was enviable.

Fortunately, they had caught these two fat fellows. It could be said that they had made a killing.

“Brother Liu, don't waste your breath on him. Get rid of this pig demon first before taking out all the treasures on these two little fellows. I think they have a lot of treasures on them.”

“Let's make it clear first. The kid on the left is yours, and the kid on the right is mine.”

“Alright, hurry up and do it. Let's deal with them first.”

After a simple discussion, the two of them ended their smugness.

They had gained a lot this time. However, the important thing was that they had to quickly deal with these two little fellows before going to the designated place to collect enough materials. Otherwise, they would not be able to report back.

As the two of them spoke, Liu Wen felt the pressure beside him gradually increase.

The air in this space became thinner. The wild boar was still charging around, but it could not break free. In the end, it was exhausted.

“There's no choice. I think we can only use that thing.”

Yang Tianqi glared at Liu Xian and suddenly said something strange to Liu Wen.

Liu Wen could only agree helplessly. “It's my fault this time. Consider it mine.”

“Stop talking nonsense. Let's deal with these two first. We still have to find the sand vine fruit. We've delayed enough here.”
