The Highest Bounty

Chapter 110: Arrogant Food

Right before Gu Ding entered the high priest’s tent, Neptune briefed Liliath and Biggie on the plan beforehand, as well also making sure to lift the forbidding spell on the rattan rope that bound Liliath.

“Biggie, empty all the thoughts in your head. Look into my eyes and don’t fight it.” Liliath began to use Black Hypnosis on Biggie.

Biggie who was under the forbidding spell bounded by the rattan rope and in a state of mental blockage trusted Liliath wholeheartedly. After a while, he was completely hypnotized by Liliath.

Even so, Liliath was still heavily impacted by Biggie’s spirit when Neptune lifted Biggie’s forbidding spell and unbounded the rattan ropes. When the seal was broken, blood dripped out of her nasal cavity and she almost fainted when she felt impact akin to a heavy hammer striking her head.

“Are you all right?” Neptune noticed her physical condition.

“I’m alright, it’s just whiplash. I already anticipated it.” Liliath wiped the blood off her nose and shook her head. She propped herself up against the wall and tried to stabilize herself.

“Was it successful?” Neptune was worried.

“It’s done. But Biggie is stronger than I thought. I don’t think my hypnosis can last three hours.” When Liliath connected to Biggie, she finally understood the extent of Biggie’s true strength.

Under her control, Biggie started to move. He carried Liliath on his left shoulder and frenziedly ran out of the tent, heading straight for Oldman’s tent.

Neptune told them where to go while Gu Ding waited for their arrival inside the tent.

“This is taboo energy…” As the high priest of the Witch Tribe, Oldman knew exactly where Gu Ding got the energy from. “You took the bottle of taboo medicine from our tribe’s treasure trove?!”

“You got it!” Gu Ding did not deny it.

“How dare you! You just swore that you didn’t steal anything from our tribe.” Oldman spat onto the ground in disdain.

“It’s true that I didn’t steal anything from you. But then again I never swore that we only have three members.” Gu Ding’s words annoyed Oldman.

“There are other people?” Oldman realized what had just happened. “Are you saying that the bug summoning ability is someone else’s doing?”

“You could say that.” Gu Ding shrugged.

“Even if you seal me, you won’t be able to escape. There are highly trained people in my tribe. The more powerful a taboo energy, the more limitations it’ll have. At most, you’ll be able to use this ability one more time.” The Oldman’s remarks sounded like bait to Gu Ding. It seemed like Oldman was trying to get Gu Ding to state the number of times Gu Ding could use his taboo energy.

“I’m not worried about whether I can escape since I have you, the high priest, as my hostage. I’m sure your people won’t risk having me snap your head off.” Gu Ding changed the subject because he did not intend to let the Oldman know about his taboo energy’s limitations. “Moreover, we only have to wait another four hours or so before the space-time backtracking ends. And after that, we’ll return to our original world.”

When the high priest heard what Gu Ding said, he looked pale. He did not expect Gu Ding to know when the space-time backtracking would end. “I won’t let you guys get away. This position can be taken by anyone. Sure, I’m the high priest now, but someone else will take my place.”

“Biggie and Liliath will arrive at the tent in ten seconds.” Neptune suddenly said.

Gu Ding grabbed the high priest’s collar and rushed out of the tent to meet Biggie and Liliath.

However, the tent was surrounded by people from the Witch Tribe.

“If any one of you takes another step, I’ll snap his neck!” Gu Ding shouted at the people from the Witch Tribe.

When they saw Gu Ding holding their high priest by the neck, none of them dared move an inch.

“Your Reverence High Priest…”

“Forget about me! Kill them!” Oldman was barely able to say that with Gu Ding’s tight grip on his neck. “We, the Witch Tribe, will never negotiate with anyone…”

Gu Ding squeezed his neck and stopped what the high priest was saying. Oldman’s face turned red from breathing difficulties. “If you guys don’t mind seeing the only Level 12 Gene Body in your ethnic group dying like this, then go ahead and take another step. But who knows how long it’ll take and how much resources your ethnic group will have to use before you guys can get another Level 12 Gene Body?”

Oldman could not make a sound, but he looked like he was trying to say something.

At that moment, a kid emerged from the mob. It was Arthas. He stared at Oldman’s lips for a while before he announced, “His Reverence High Priest said that we should kill them! That’s an order from the Witch God! These people who have offended the Witch God’s dignity and must die!”

As soon as Arthas said that, Gu Ding knew things were going to turn bad.

Sure enough, many of the Witch Tribe’s people started to move closer when they heard what Arthas said.

“Run!” Gu Ding shouted at Liliath.

Under Liliath’s control, Biggie attacked frantically. One of his hands turned into a knife. The mighty blade emerged out of his body in an instant and smashed all the powerhouses in the Witch Tribe to the ground. The other hand grabbed Gu Ding by the wrist and ran out through the gap in the crowd where the powerhouses fell.

The powerhouses of the Witchtribe, two Level 9, and one Level 10 Gene Body, quickly recovered and chased after the trio. They refused to give up that easily. Even though Biggie’s attack was strong, they did not take a lot of damage from that attack.

Biggie carried Gu Ding and Liliath and fled for about half an hour. Although Biggie was worryingly fast, the three powerhouses were still hot on their heels.

“We have to fight! It’s impossible to escape them.” Gu Ding watched the three of them enveloping them and nodded at Liliath.

Liliath also knew that buying time before fighting would not be favorable to them. At that time, Biggie was fighting under her hypnosis. Once her hypnosis wore off, Biggie would once again lose his ability to fight due to his mental obstacles. Their opponents were one Level 10 Gene Body and two Level 9 Gene Bodies. Although their strengths were only halved due to the curse, any one of them would have enough strength to kill off Gu Ding and Liliath.

“Biggie, the three guys in front of you are the leaders of man-eating ogre apes. Kill them and we’ll be able to survive.” Liliath whispered in Biggie’s ear and jumped off his shoulder.

Biggie instantly entered a state of combat. Terrifying blades emerged out of every hair follicle in his body. In Biggie’s head, Liliath, Gu Ding, and himself were surrounded by three man-eating ogre apes. Suddenly, the three man-eating ogre apes provoked him by mooning him.

“These three deserve to die! Why are they acting so arrogant? They’re minced-meat!” Biggie was completely furious. “I’ll squeeze all three of your brains and make steamed monkey brains!”

“Hey, what the heck did you do to him?” Gu Ding looked at Liliath in confusion when he heard what Biggie said.

“It’s nothing. Since he can’t fight humans, I hypnotized him into thinking they’re man-eating ogre apes. Right now, he’s seeing the three of them doing provocative ogre ape stuff like digging their boogers and waving their butts at him.”
