C4 Mutual blackmail

There was no intention to retreat now. He was no longer doing it for his creditor, but rather for his innate pride.

The flames on the Lava Spirit became even more violent, suddenly erupting with a hot light. The originally bright red flames had turned orange. The flame that was originally only a foot long was now more than a meter long. The temperature immediately became hot, the rising temperature and flames forming a wall of fire. The Lava Spirit had already pierced into the mouth of the Demonic Jade Serpent Scorpion.

In his eyes, there was only the massive, savage beak of the Jade Serpent Scorpion. With a stab of his sword, the scorpion's mouth exploded with flames.

"Hiss …"

The Jade Serpent Scorpion shook its head and roared in pain. Its hooked tail had already pierced towards him. At this moment, it wanted to perish together with him.

When the Lava Soul in his hand pierced into the mouth of the Blue Serpent Demon Scorpion, he used this opportunity to flip his body upwards and raise his feet into the air, evading the attack of the scorpion's tail. His body had already flipped over on top of the snake's head, and he was still riding on it. The Lava Soul was still deeply embedded in the mouth of the Jade Serpent Scorpion, and orange flames were burning fiercely.

Katyusha rushed over and grabbed him, pulling him off of the scorpion. She threw him onto the ground and viciously said, "You want to kill him again? Didn't I tell you to live?"

"Big sister, can you speak a little reason? If you want it to live, should I die? Didn't you see that it almost ate me? "

"Bastards, liars, cowards like you, just eat it. People like you are everywhere, but the Jade Serpent Scorpion is a rare magical beast. I still need to study it properly. If you kill it, should I study you? "

He couldn't do anything about this common witch. He laid on the ground and helplessly looked at Katyushan, shouting rudely, "Katyushan, let me tell you, don't think that just because you are a mage you can bully others. You just told me that as long as I caught it for you, it would be fine. Now, just when I have dealt with this monster, you come and disturb me. Let me tell you, I was the one who took care of this monster.

Seeing the roguish look on the face of the Beelzebub, Ka Qiushan glared at him viciously. She was too lazy to bother about this bastard who never paid his debts and walked over to the side of the Demonic Jade Serpent Scorpion, waiting to see what he would do.

The scorpion wriggled its body on the ground and cried out in pain. Its mouth no longer had any blood foam, and the blood foam had already been burnt dry by the flames of the Lava Soul. At this moment, its mouth was full of injuries. It shook its head and slowly retreated. There was a cautious and desperate look in its eyes as it looked at Katyusha.

With a contemptuous "Pah!", the image of the Jade Serpent Demon Scorpion disappeared from his sight. Aside from the grass that was already flattened and burnt to a crisp, the broken branches of the tree were all evidence that a fight had just occurred. The only thing that could be seen was the wind blowing past him and caressing his long hair.

"Oh my god!" What happened? Where's the Jade Serpent Demon Scorpion? "

As he looked at her, his eyes were full of caution. Since this terrifying witch could instantly turn a monster as big as the Jade Serpent Scorpion into nothing, then his insignificant existence was nothing.

With a sidelong glance at him, Katyusha seemed to see through his thoughts. She curled her lips and said, "Get up, don't lie down and pretend to be dead. I'm not interested in you, but don't you have a Jade Serpent Scorpion? Where is it? Give it to me, our old account, and we'll write it off. However, you still have to pay me back for the Lava Soul. "

Standing up, he grimaced in pain and walked towards the trap he had dug. He pushed aside the branches covering it, revealing the stiff corpse of the Blue Serpent Demon Scorpion.

Katyusha's dark green eyes sparkled with a strange light as they circled the trap.

"Kakaka, kakaka ~ ~"

She raised both her hands and placed them on her forehead. Her expression was respectful and devout as she kneeled on the ground, facing the sky. Her lips were constantly moving, as if she was praying to some supreme deity. However, he could only see her lips constantly moving. She didn't hear a single word.

"After digging his ear hole, he wondered if there was something wrong with his hearing." "Shua, shua …" The sound of a gust of wind blowing against the bright-eyed tree drifted past his ears. Countless eyes seemed to stare at him with ridicule as they swayed above his head. She was praying, he knew. From the looks of it, within this witch's incomparably devout look, there was also a hidden excitement. He suspected that he had sold the Jade Snake Devil Scorpion for a cheap price.

"Oh my god! That witch is taking advantage of me again! Could it be that the gods in the sky can't bless me?"

He raised his hands above his head and stared at the clear sky. White clouds covered the sky, and a cool breeze blew gently. "Shua shua shua …" The innumerable gazes on the bright eyed tree were multicolored, seeming to ridicule him.

Katyusha finally stood up. Other than the god she was praying to, no one else knew what she was saying. She looked at him. "This damn monster is mine. Our past debts are now written off."

She was probably in a good mood, yet she did not shout out. Her dark green eyes were hard to find a smile on her face.

"Alas, the super magical beasts that I've hunted down so hard for are only worth this little bit of money?" It was as if he could not believe his own ears. He looked at Katyasha with hidden bitterness, as if he had suffered a great loss and could not say anything.

In fact, he was thinking, "What's the use of a dead monster? My god, the witch's taste is really special." "However, from now on, he will not need to look at this terrifying witch's face. He will be able to listen to her bloodless soprano voice for a while."

"Pui, stinky brat, don't take advantage of me and continue acting good. You're just the lowest level and most shoddy Jadesnake Demon Scorpion, nothing more." If that Jade Snake Devil Scorpion wasn't beaten half to death by me, no matter how many hands you had, it would have eaten you long ago. Now that I have saved your life and saved you from the debt you owed me, what else is there for you to be dissatisfied with? "

Katyusa's slender fingers pointed viciously at him. The massive body of the Jade Serpent Demon Scorpion disappeared in front of him in an instant, as if it had vanished into thin air. Shaking his head, he looked at her in surprise, a chill rising in his heart. He couldn't help but rub his body against the grass and retreat, as if he was afraid that he would be lost like a Jade Serpent Demon Scorpion.

Katyusha looked at him mockingly, then stuck out a slender finger and said with a twitch of her lips, "Look at you, Michaelis. Look at yourself, you don't look like a warrior at all. Shameless swindler, cowardly skulker, unrepentant little bastard. Remember, you are a man who wants to be a warrior. Stand up and show your courage. "Don't look so useless in front of me, Katyusha.

He knew that Katyusha had no intention of making him disappear. Otherwise, he would have been taken away by this witch a long time ago. He stood up and brushed off the dirt on his clothes.

"Big sister Katyusa, where did you get those two Jade Snake Demonic Scorpion?"

A mocking smile appeared on Katyasha's beautiful lips. "This question is for the fee. Since you are an old acquaintance of mine, I will take half of it. Fifty gold coins."

"Elder sister, you are an honorable mage. How can you be in the money box every day?"

"Pfft, stinking brat, mages don't have to eat, do you really think you don't need to pay for things to buy? Do you know that the materials used to become a mage, the research fees, and those things are all very precious? They have to be bought with a large amount of gold coins! "

"Cough cough, actually, Big Sis Katyusa, you can just go and rob them." Michaels curled his lips, taunting Katyasha that anything counted for money, like robbery.

Ka Qiushan Sha's dark green eyebrows raised, and her dark green eyes flickered. She suddenly revealed a smile, "Mi Si Si, the secret of a mage is not something that everyone knows. I am an advanced level mage, so to know my secret is your honor. If you are not an old acquaintance of mine, even if you have piled gold coins into a mountain of gold, you can forget about my secret. Since you are unwilling, then forget it. "

Turning around, Katyusha hummed a melody as she walked out of the mountain.

With a mischievous smile, he followed her. "You should be able to get 20 gold coins from an Advanced Mage like Katyusa. You know that I'm short on money recently. For the sake of old acquaintances, don't quibble about it."

"Forty gold coins. Not one less."

"Twenty-five."

"Thirty-five!"

"Thirty, not one more."

He looked at her angrily, his fists clenched so tight they cracked. However, he did not have the courage to extend his fist towards this beautiful and slim witch in front of him. Today, the Jade Serpent Scorpion had given him a vivid lesson. If he underestimated this witch, he would die miserably.

"It's a deal." Katyusa smiled evilly, and suddenly the corpse of the dead Blue Serpent Demon Scorpion appeared on the ground. He did not see this witch chant any incantations, nor did he see her move a finger.

"Take a good look. Otherwise, don't blame me for not showing you."

Without any warning, the enormous corpse of the Blue Serpent Demon Scorpion disappeared into thin air. With his eyes wide open, he stared fixedly at the corpse of the Jade Serpent Demon Scorpion. In a flash, the scorpion disappeared from the side of her spring-like fingers.

On her hand was a ring, purple in color with strange silver patterns inlaid on it. It was very unique.

"Big Sis, what ring is that you're wearing? It's very beautiful. Can you let me have a look?"

Katyasha curled her lips and patted him on the head, ruffling his long black hair. She touched his face and took advantage of him. The beautiful mouth let out a "Ga Ga …" Laughter.

"Not bad, you brat. You saw through it, this ring is a treasure, you want to see?" Beautiful you, this is a very precious interspatial ring. Don't think that you can swindle me to take it away. One must know that many people have never even heard of it in their entire lives, let alone read it. "

She looked at him with a smug expression on her face, giving him the arrogant look of a mage.

His eyes were filled with curiosity and possessiveness. If he had such a thing, then he wouldn't have to work so hard to obtain wild beasts and magical beasts in the future.

"Katyusa, how many items can this type of spatial ring contain?"

Karakorum Savant extended her slender, jade-like hand, "That depends on the grade of that spatial ring. The higher the grade, the more items it contains. "A truly high level space ring can hold up to 1,000 people." Katyusha did not say how high her spatial ring was. She was deliberately trying to keep him in suspense.

For some reason, she was filled with interest towards this extraordinary young man. She even often dragged him into her ghost castle.

For the town of Ott and the nearby villages and towns, the ghost castle was definitely a forbidden area. Even if there was a witch living there now, there was no place safer than the once mysterious and terrifying ghost castle. From time to time, strange, shrill cries and mournful howls came from the ghost castle. In the middle of the night, they would often hear the howls of ghosts and see strange green lights and flames, causing them to be even more afraid of the ghost castle where the witch resided.

No one had ever dared to go to the ghost castle, because on the road to the ghost castle, there were countless bones scattered everywhere. Poisonous insects were rampant, and thorns were everywhere.

He was the only one who had ever been to the ghost castle, not the one he wanted to go to, but the only one who had caught him. As a defaulting bastard, he had been captured by Katysha into the ghost castle more than once. Everyone thought that he was doomed, but in just a few days, or even the next day, he had returned to the scene.

Glancing at Katyasha's spatial ring, he wondered how he could get his hands on it. It was like getting the Lava Soul.

Katyusha seemed to have seen through what he was thinking and warned him coldly, "You little bastard, don't try to get ahold of my space ring. Don't say that I didn't tell you. "On my interspatial ring, there is a curse. Whoever touches it will have bad luck. If you don't believe it, you can try. But when you die, don't blame me for not reminding you."

He had no doubt of what Katyusha had said. Having entered the ghost castle many times, he knew that this extremely beautiful witch in front of him was also terrifying to the extreme.

Many people asked him what was inside the ghost castle, but he only shook his head with a bitter face, not saying a word. After a long time, everyone had gotten used to the fact that he had been captured by the witch and taken to the ghost castle.

"Although our past debts have been written off, you remember that you have yet to return the principal of the Lava Soul to me. Also, the rent should be paid in the second half of the year. Smelly brat, I'll give you a chance. If you see another monster like this or any other monsters, you have to tell me. If you can help me capture ten of these monsters alive, I will be merciful enough to spare you three years of rent and the interest on the Lava Spirit. "

"Oh, but Sister Katyasha, I don't think I'll agree to that." His face suddenly changed, as if he were worried and as if he were a scoundrel.

"You want me to pay you for the rest of my life, right?" Katyusha stared at him fiercely with her large dark green eyes. The words "for life" were squeezed out of her teeth.

"Big sis, there's war everywhere outside right now. It's very dangerous for me to catch monsters."

The moment he said those words, he revealed a look of worry on his face, "Katyusa, you are a mage with such great ability. Using the stone wall, you could easily beat the monster to death. I really want to pay off my debt as soon as possible, but other than this sword, I have nothing in my hands. "

"You … You little bastard, you want to take advantage of me again?" Katyusha waved her slender jade hand, wanting to slap it down.

"If you kill me, no one will help you catch those monsters." That faint smile seemed so despicable and shameless to Katyasha.

"Big fool, you have also been practicing martial arts with Bai Rui for over a year. Until now, you still haven't been able to cultivate any battle qi. Truly a waste." Big Sis, I will make an exception and take this loss for you! "

Katyusha was so angry that she could not find her way north. She pulled out a piece of parchment from her sleeve and slapped it on the body of the man with hatred.

"Big sister, you can't put it like that. I've only trained for a year, but I might not even be able to cultivate battle qi for a few years or even a dozen years." Berrywin has often praised me for my rapid progress. Eh, what is this? Big Sis, is this paper useful? " He had long since noticed the words' Fire Wall Technique 'written on the parchment paper, but he pretended not to know anything.

"Hmph, you big idiot. If you can't cultivate, don't blame me for it."

Katyusha stared at him fiercely. "I'll tell you, brat. If you can't catch the monster, you'll have to pay for this piece of parchment."

"Hehe, good, good. Actually, big sister, you won't lose out. All this while, you have always been happy to let others lose out, especially for me." He stuffed the Firewall Technique into his clothes, secretly rejoicing in his heart. He had struck gold again!

Karakorum Savant reluctantly looked at the parchment in his hands. "That's magic! It's a very good fire magic! A very high level fire magic!" Her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked as if she had suffered a great loss. She stretched out her hands, as if she couldn't bear to part with the Firewall Technique. Then, she gave it to him.

"Elder sister, I'm working for you. It's just a small spell. Do you think I'm a rare spell?"

"You, you little bastard, big idiot, coward, big trash …"

"Hey, Katyusa, that wall of fire technique is not as powerful as your stone wall. Can I practice it?"

"I'll come back next month." Karakorum Savant was afraid that if she were to continue speaking, she would be tricked by Mies. She gripped her mage robe tightly and left the mountain without turning back.

As they walked down the mountain, Katyusha cursed in her heart, "Mies, you big idiot, you little bastard! If you can't cultivate, why would I give you the Firewall Technique!?" That Fire Wall Technique is a high-grade defensive magic. Moreover, there are also several small fire magic spells on it. If you weren't born with a fire magic constitution, why would the Lava Spirit follow you? This big idiot has a natural constitution for fire magic! "

"Oh, don't go, big sister, my noble elder sister mage. I caught so many monsters, where should I put them? You know, I don't have a place to put it. Even I can't carry such a big monster. If the other magical beasts find out, or if they take a fancy to you, how will I bring you back? "

He caught up with her and grabbed her magic robe. He looked at her piteously.

Katyusha stomped her feet and looked at the little rascal helplessly. After thinking about it for a moment, she realized that what Mezus said made sense. Her graceful curves trembled under the magic robe. Her originally beautiful face was also trembling.

From inside the magic robe, she took out a ring. Katyusha trembled like a leaf in the autumn wind as she patted the ring painfully on the palm of his hand. "This ring, I'll lend it to you. The monthly interest will be 50 gold coins and the principal will be 10,000 gold coins. "However, it's not for you. It's for lending to you. You have to return it to me after using it."

After saying this, Katyusa ran down the mountain like the wind, as if she was afraid that the lion in the sky would scam her for some treasure. The smile on his face gradually faded as he stared at the rapidly disappearing figure of his back. Catching a monster to earn money to pay off his debt was not an easy task!

A single Blue Serpent Demon Scorpion was already out of his reach. With ten of them, it sent a chill down his spine. He was well aware of his own strength. If he hadn't teamed up with Borileimu, it would have been impossible for him to hunt so many magical beasts, plus there was even an intermediate level magical beast. In fact, before partnering with Brevin, he had only hunted beasts, occasionally hunting lousy low-level magical beasts.

"It seems that I need to train my magic a little. A while ago, I took a magic book from Katyusa to sell for money. However, I really should take a good look at it now and train it. Seeing how Katyusa easily took care of the Jade Serpent Demon Scorpion, it seemed that her magic was indeed very powerful. "But, I wonder if I have any talent in magic?"

Every time he went to the ghost castle of Katyusa, he was not afraid at all. He would always take the opportunity to wander around the ghost castle in search of something valuable. He, who had been exploited by the witch, felt that he had let himself down if he didn't take something out from the witch's ghost castle.

Every time Katyusha found out that she had lost something, whether she could not find it or if she had really been taken away, all the debts were owed to him. As a result, he was burdened with debts that did not exist. Even if Katyusha found it later and occasionally forgot where it was, she would not take the initiative to reduce the debt on him. Hence, this made him feel at ease. From time to time, he would take some small things from the ghost castle.
