“I’ve been discovered!”
Hearing the voice coming from ahead, David Jones shook his head helplessly and then walked out from behind the rock.
Following closely behind him was Rainbow.
So, having stayed here for so long, do you want the Redcloud Flower too?” The Four-tailed Crimson Fox approached him and asked with interest.
“I do.”
David Jones nodded earnestly, then unconsciously asked in return, “Are you asking me this question because you want to give me a Redcloud Flower?” “???”
Upon hearing this, the Four-tailed Crimson Fox was slightly stunned, its eyes curiously scanning the cunning human before it.
This man was special.
Through its mental perception, it couldn’t detect any greed or malicious intent in David Jones.
If not for the fact that the man’s strength was so weak, the fox would have even thought its ability to perceive emotions was being blocked!
Shameless human, why would I give you a Redcloud Flower?’1
The Four-tailed Crimson Fox’s eyes narrowed, and a tremendous aura suddenly surged out from its body.
The strong oppressive force coming head-on caused David Jones to involuntarily step back.
Seeing this, Rainbow quickly shielded David Jones in front of her.
A domineering dragon’s roar sounded, and Rainbow’s body swelled visibly at an astonishing rate.
Her petite, delicate body transformed into a behemoth over ten meters long in the blink of an eye.
The majestic creature stared intently at the red fox before her, her oppressive gaze unwavering.
The moment Rainbow entered the battle state, her dragon’s domination combined with a cyan Confusion wave and swept towards the fox.
“It is indeed a Pureblood Flood Dragon,” mused the Four-tailed Crimson Fox, a hint of astonishment in its eyes.
Though the Flood Dragon before it appeared to only possess Class II strength, the fox could faintly sense a sliver of danger.
This inexplicable sense of danger was even more intense than the one it felt from the previous Trainers.
“Rainbow, wait!” Just when the atmosphere between both sides became tense David Jones suddenly spoke.
“If you don’t want to give it, then don’t! We’re just passing by and don’t have any malicious intent. We’re sorry for disturbing you, and we’ll leave now.” With that said, David Jones’ eyes met the Crimson Fox’s with sincerity as he slowly retreated with Rainbow.
It was a narrow escape.
The fox was incredibly powerful, and David Jones had no intention of fighting
He couldn’t even finish drinking the spirit liquid Lolo made for him every day, so what did the so-called Redcloud Flower matter?
Besides, he simply wanted to build up his strength peacefully, not struggling
for entrance to the Heritage Relic.
Several steps back, just when David Jones thought he could leave safely, the Four-tailed Crimson Fox’s voice suddenly rang out.
“Wait!”
David Jones stopped in his tracks, looking at the always elegant Four-tailed Crimson Fox with a hint of confusion on his face.
The fox blinked its eyes and curiously asked, “What can you give me in exchange for the Redcloud Flower?”
David Jones was instantly taken aback.
What did it mean? Could it really trade resources?
“Ah, that’s not right. Speaking of which, do Pett Resources exchanged in the Dungeon count towards the score?” David Jones couldn’t help but scratch his head, uncertain of what to say.
“Do you want me to give it to you for nothing?” the red fox asked quietly. The human before it must hold a special status to be able to contract even the proud Pureblood Flood Dragon!
Perhaps it could learn more information from him.
“Of course not,” David Jones replied with a smile, “Can two Snow Ginseng be traded for the Redcloud Flower?”
“I don’t understand your human terms for elixirs, so just show me the Snow Ginseng.”
David Jones hesitated for a moment before taking out a jade box from his Star Ring and opening it, revealing the white and pale yellow elixir inside.
“This Snow Ginseng doesn’t seem to have as much vitality or look as tasty as the Redcloud Flower,” the red fox shook its head slightly.
It was clear that it felt this would be a losing deal!
“That’s why I’m exchanging two Snow Ginsengs with you for a Redcloud
Flower,” David Jones said with a helpless shrug.
Of the Level III elixirs he had, only the Snow Ginseng was the most precious. As or Lolo’s spirit liquid, there was no way he would take that out!
“Five Snow Ginsengs!” The Crimson Fox increased the price directly.
“At most four.”
“At least five!”
“At most three.”
“Are you playing with me?”
The Four-tailed Crimson Fox paused for a moment, then quickly reacted as the flames behind its tail suddenly rose up.
How did the bargaining just keep getting lower? It suddenly felt a sense of its intelligence being insulted!
“How about four then?” David Jones said carefully.
Although trading for five Snow Ginseng was still a great deal, he couldn’t help but haggle for the price.
“Fine, four it is. You got the guts, follow me?”
Angry, the Crimson Fox threw down those words and then turned around, walking towards the cave.
Watching the elegant red figure in front of him, David Jones couldn’t help but laugh.
“Didn’t expect it to be just a dumb fox.”
Rainbow:”???”
The situation on the scene changed too quickly, and the enemies she had expected suddenly became trading partners.
“With you here, I feel more at ease. Worst case, we just run.” Seeing Rainbow still a bit confused, David Jones smiled brightly.
No guts no glory.
Rambow had guaranteed it, so of course, he trusted the strength of his own pet.
Upon hearing this, Rainbow confidently nodded her head.
Seeing her agreement, David Jones immediately turned to look at the distant pitch-dark cave.
The Crimson Fox glanced at David Jones as it stood at the entrance of the cave,
“What’s the matter, chickening out?”
“Not really.” David Jones replied with a smile.
Maintaining a safe distance from the Crimson Fox, he slowly stepped towards the cave.
Rainbow followed, her petite body swirling around David Jones, becoming a genuine bodyguard.
In a short while, David Jones arrived at the molten rock river just outside the cave.
Crimson Fox: “Wait here for me.”
Watching the Crimson Fox enter the cave, David Jones couldn’t help but frown, then scanned the nearby rocks.
“There’s no danger nearby, and there’s no ambush in the cave.” Rainbow said through telepathy.
David Jones nodded slightly.
It didn’t take long for the Crimson Fox to reappear at the entrance of the cave, holding a red-as-ruby elixir with even its stem and roots red like fire.
“This is the Redcloud Flower you wanted.”
Upon seeing the fiery red elixir floating several meters in front of him, David Jones’s eyes flickered slightly.
After confirming its authenticity, excitement appeared on his face, and he took out two jade boxes from the Star Ring and placed them on the ground.
“Pleasure doing business. Here’s the Snow Ginseng you wanted.”
The Four-tailed Crimson Fox cast its gaze on the jade boxes, and with a thought, invisible Confusion wrapped around them.
“Transaction complete.”
Placing the Redcloud Flower in front of him into the prepared jade box, David Jones couldn’t help but sigh in relief.
It turned out to be an honest fox, truly a rarity!
After hesitating slightly, David Jones spoke, “My name is David Jones, can you tell me your name?”
The Four-tailed Crimson Fox glanced at the distant David Jones, “Names?
That’s something only you humans would do..”
