Chapter 2366 Then...can I ask for a reward?
"who are you?"
Ling Tian looked up at the man standing on the monster's head, frowned slightly, and his eyes were full of vigilance.
In fact, when the man appeared and stopped him just now, Ling Tian thought that it was the monster's companion who had arrived.
But when he saw that it was a strange human, Ling Tian was stunned and even more confused.
Until the other party killed the monster directly and asked him if he was satisfied, Ling Tian felt that this person was very suspicious.
It’s a pity that Ling Tian couldn’t see through his true identity and didn’t know whether he was a human or an adult monster.
It is his realm that I can know, and it is the same realm as mine.
So after seeing the other party, Ling Tian did not dare to act rashly, but was alert, fearing that the other party would suddenly attack.
At this moment, the smile on the man's face slowly disappeared, and he suddenly jumped down and landed in front of Ling Tian.
When their eyes met, Ling Tian realized that the man's pupils were not pitch black, but light purple, but they appeared darker at night.
Pale purple pupils...
Do humans have this eye color?
Just as Ling Tian was thinking, the man glanced at the Jade Blood Sword and said softly, "Not a bad sword."
"Yes." Ling Tian nodded: "Specially prepared for killing monsters."
"Oh? Killing orcs?"
"Not really." Ling Tian waved his hand. "I'm just... an ordinary citizen, out for a stroll to satisfy my curiosity."
"An ordinary citizen..." The man smiled. "An ordinary citizen, not only is his realm the same as mine, he also holds an extraordinary sword, and he almost killed an adult demon beast. Is this what you call an ordinary citizen?"
"Almost." Ling Tian shrugged: "Maybe I'm an exception, but don't worry, I'm definitely not the weakest."
"Pfft, hahahaha!"
The man suddenly started to laugh, and his laughter was inexplicable, leaving Ling Tian confused.
Outrageous.
Ling Tian was puzzled as to why the man started laughing. Did he say something funny?
That shouldn't be the case. I said I wasn't the weakest just to prevent the person in front of me from being attacked by a monster.
It can be considered as a little trick.
But that's not funny either.
Just as Ling Tian was puzzled, the man slowly stretched out his hand and said, "I... according to your human language, I'm called an ice beast."
"Ice beast?" Ling Tian raised an eyebrow. "So you are an adult demon beast, right?"
"Well, that's true, but I'm different from the other adults. Although my realm is not high, I can cross boundaries and kill. At my level, I'm almost invincible."
"What a coincidence." Ling Tian smiled slightly, reached out and shook the ice beast's hand, saying: "I am also invincible in the same realm. I didn't expect that there would be someone of the same realm."
"Hahaha."
The ice beast laughed, and Ling Tian looked at him with a smile on his face, but he also felt a little relaxed in his heart.
Of course, it’s not that he trusts the ice beast in front of him, but Ling Tian discovered that the monster in front of him didn’t seem to have any intention of attacking him.
According to Ling Tian's understanding, the ice beast had a high status in the Holy Mountain. At least when it came to human language, it was the most fluent one he had ever seen.
It is very likely that the orc killer seen before is in contact with the ice beast in front of him. If this is true, then there is no need to worry too much. After all, if he can come into contact with the orc killer, it is highly likely that he will not be too hostile to humans.
Of course, this is still Ling Tian’s guess, and he is still betting his own life.
But, isn’t it a gamble every time I survive?
So Ling Tian slowly lowered the Jade Blood Sword in his hand, and the Ice Beast noticed his movement and raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you afraid of me?"
"Should I be afraid of you?" Ling Tian smiled and said, "I know you won't attack me at least now. Otherwise, I would have died long ago, right?"
"Interesting!" The ice beast's eyes lit up and nodded. "You are the first human I have ever met who is so interesting. Those who saw me before only had two thoughts: either kill me or run away. But you have neither. I don't sense any murderous intent from you."
"You solved the problem for me." Ling Tian said, pointing to the corpse of the monster lying beside him. "Why should I attack you? I'm not stupid. If you help me, I won't attack you. It's a simple principle, isn't it?"
"Okay, well said. I like you as a human."
The ice beast smiled and nodded. Suddenly, it raised its head slightly, opened its mouth and roared.
Roar!
His roar was so loud that it shook the ground.
But even though his voice was so loud, Ling Tian didn't feel uncomfortable, at most his ears felt uncomfortable.
Unlike the sound of the previous monster, that roar almost made Ling Tian bleed from all seven orifices and his whole heart felt uncomfortable.
After the ice beast finished yelling, Ling Tian looked at him and asked, "What does this mean?"
"Let my companions retreat."
The Ice Beast finished speaking and slowly put away his sword. His gaze fell on Ling Tian: "What is your purpose in coming to the Holy Mountain? It shouldn't be to kill this monster, right?"
"It was indeed an accidental encounter." Ling Tian nodded: "I came to the Holy Mountain just to take a look. This is my first time here, and I was very curious, that's all."
"Is that so..." The Ice Beast thought for a moment and then said, "Then what do you want to know? Although I am not the master of the Holy Mountain, I do have some influence and can introduce it to you."
"Mountain Master? What does that mean? Is there a strongest person in the Holy Mountain? Your king?"
"Not a king." The Ice Beast shook his head. "He's simply the strongest. If he weren't the strongest, I'd probably be the Mountain Master. Of course, the Mountain Master rarely shows up. The rest of the time, he's just my companion in managing the Holy Mountain."
"Is that so..." Ling Tian pondered for a moment, noticing the corpse of a demon beast nearby. "Is it because of this that you're so friendly to me?"
Hearing this, the Ice Beast also looked at the huge monster corpse and nodded. "That's indeed the reason. You don't know, it's an outsider, and has been entrenched at the foot of the Holy Mountain. We have no way to stop it. I don't know whether to say you are lucky or that you know something about this monster."
"After all, it's not you. I can't kill him so easily. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let him act so recklessly."
Hearing the meaning behind the Ice Beast's words, Ling Tian asked curiously, "What do you mean by lucky? What did I do?"
"Its eyes." The ice beast pointed at the monster's red pupil, which had fallen to the ground and was made visible by Ling Tian. "This is its ability. It can immobilize any monster it shines on."
"so……"
"Yeah." The ice beast smiled slightly and nodded: "It's useless to humans, so... I was able to kill him because of you!"
"So, I did a good thing!" Ling Tian couldn't help but laugh, "Should I ask for a reward?"
"Yes, you can tell me."
"The reward I want is simple." Ling Tian slowly extended his hand and said, "The flesh and blood of a high-level demon beast plus the flesh and blood of an adult demon beast. Can you... agree to this?"
