Chapter 487 Mutual Gifts

Crimson Eyes then recounted many events from the Great Battlefield, saying, "Go out, I am weary. Absorb power slowly and cultivate diligently. The Great Battlefield will open in about three or four days, and you and Emerald Wings will enter together."

"Remember our agreement."

Crimson Eyes glanced at Zhou Leng, then closed his eyes, and a wild snoring sound echoed in the hall.

"Hoo... Hmph..."

Someone who didn't know better might mistake it for a ferocious pig.

Zhou Leng, the Molten Hammer, and the Emerald Wings emerged from the cave.

Upon reaching a cave, Emerald Wing said, "You'll stay here for now, but don't wander off, because the Great Battlefield might open at any time. Once the opening sign appears, we'll teleport to Dragon Mountain and enter from there."

Zhou Leng said, "Then how am I supposed to give the Battlefield Shield Token and the Essence of Dragon Blood to Zhang Xinglie?"

Having already obtained the Battlefield Shield Token from the Blood of Tyranny, the second one was entirely prepared for Zhang Xinglie.

Emerald Wings said, "I can't go either..."

Both the man and the dragon looked at the molten hammer.

Molten Hammer hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, not only am I slow, but if you really let me go, I'm afraid I'll be tempted to keep it all for myself. This is Battlefield Shield Token and Essence Dragon Blood, I couldn't earn that much even if I sold my ass for a lifetime."

Emerald Wings said, "It's alright, I'll send a dragon to take you there, and we'll also draw up a contract that anyone who tries to take it all for themselves will die."

"You are not a human being."

"I am a dragon, that's settled."

Emerald Wings sought out the Red Dragon, and Zhou Leng retrieved the Battlefield Shield Token and the Essence of Dragon Blood, handing them over to Molten Hammer.

"Melting Hammer, I consider you a friend and hope you can stay true to yourself. If you dare to take it all for yourself, don't let me find you, or I'll make you sell your ass for the rest of your life, and in the world of giants no less."

"You beast! Do you even consider me a friend?!" Melting Hammer's expression changed.

Zhou Leng patted his shoulder and said, "As long as you guarantee delivery, everything will be fine."

"You bastard, I've finally seen through you..."

As Zhou Leng spoke, he handed over some medicinal fruits.

Hammer grinned and asked, "For me?"

"It's fine to give it to a dog too."

"Woof woof woof..." Molten Hammer happily took the medicinal fruit and carefully put it away.

After signing the contract, a red dragon, gripping a molten hammer, activated the interdimensional express delivery service and flew to the human base in the Water Continent Demon City.

The next day, I flew to the Water Island Demon City, with the Molten Hammer hanging on the Red Dragon Claw. In the distance, I saw a group of Demon Worshippers coming from the direction of the Dwarf World.

Rao Mingxian and Shen Jun were among the members of the Demon Worship Cult; they had met them before in Baifeng Valley.

Rao Mingxian hurriedly shouted, "Molten Hammer, where's Zhou Leng? I heard he was taken away by the dragon along with you."

"In the Crimson Dragon's Lair! What do you want with him?"

"I'll give it to him..."

Red Dragon flew away, clutching the molten hammer, not hearing what Rao Mingxian said.

After discussing with the Demon Worship Cult team for a while, one of the innate teams left and headed straight for the Crimson Dragon Nest in the Dragon World.

Before long, a flying carriage flew in from the direction of the Giant World, and the two passed each other.

The hammer glanced at it but didn't pay it any mind.

Inside the carriage, Azure Flame glanced at Molten Hammer with a puzzled look, then turned around and rode alongside Red Dragon.

Azure Flame transmitted its voice from inside the carriage: "Molten Hammer, it's me, Azure Flame. I went to the dwarven embassy to inquire about Zhou Leng. Weren't you with him? Where is he?"

"He's in the Crimson Dragon's Nest! I saw Rao Mingxian earlier. What do you need him for?"

"I need to deliver something to Zhou Leng for someone. It's a bit urgent, we'll talk later!" The flying carriage immediately changed direction and sped towards the Dragon World.

"I...you..." Before Molten Hammer could finish speaking, Azure Flame disappeared into the distance.

"They're all so damn busy, they can't even finish a single sentence..."

Molten Hammer cursed and swore. After arriving at the human water island base, he used Martial Arts to search for Zhang Xinglie, but could not make contact.

So, by contacting Zhou Leng's friends and the dwarven embassy, ​​they quickly learned that Zhang Xinglie had already gone to the Giants' Court.

Molten Hammer continued cursing and swearing, and had no choice but to contact the dwarven embassy, ​​abandon the red dragon, and instead take a flying carriage straight to the giants' royal court.

Upon arriving at the Giant's Court and meeting Zhang Xinglie, Molten Hammer said, "Why aren't you on Blue Star? What are you doing running around here? I've been through so much trouble looking for you."

"What's wrong?" Zhang Xinglie asked.

"Zhou Leng gave these to you!" Melting Hammer handed the Battlefield Shield Token and the Essence of Dragon Blood to Zhang Xinglie with a disgruntled expression.

Zhang Xinglie took it and looked at it, his expression strange.

Melting Hammer paused for a moment, then asked, "At a time like this, shouldn't you be moved to tears, first thanking Grandpa Melting Hammer for his hard work, and then thanking Zhou Leng for giving you such a generous gift?"

Zhang Xinglie reached into his magic pouch and took out a battlefield shield token.

"Huh?" Molten Hammer snatched it away, examining it closely. "It's real. You had it all along?"

Zhang Xinglie said, "Not only have we got them, but we have two. One of them will be given to Zhou Leng by Cang Feizhiyan."

Molten Hammer froze, only then remembering that he had encountered Crimson Flame on the way.

He said slowly, "Zhou Leng has two, and you have two. Are you both going to give the other one? This is a battlefield shield token, sigh..."

Looking at Zhang Xinglie and thinking of Zhou Leng, Molten Hammer felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He asked again, "A Battlefield Shield Token is already very rare, how come you have a second one?"

Zhang Xinglie sighed and said, "If I had known he had it, I wouldn't have signed the gambling agreement with the orc tribe. Gambling and drugs ruin lives..."

When Hammer recalled Shanheyuan telling Zhou Leng about Zhang Xinglie's experience as an orc prince consort, a betting agreement flashed through his mind, and his eyes reddened.

"I thought Zhou Leng was already being loyal enough by selling himself to the Crimson-Eyed Queen, but I never expected you to be even more loyal! You actually sold yourself to the orcs..."

Zhang Xinglie had little contact with Molten Hammer and wasn't used to his cheeky demeanor. He paused for a moment before asking, "What's going on? How did she get involved with Crimson Eyes...the Queen? Isn't she the number one bandit of the dragons and the number one stingy person in the Ten Realms?"

"Don't worry, it's just a collaboration. Zhou Leng has the Pale Queen behind him, and the Crimson Eyes Queen wouldn't dare to provoke him."

Zhang Xinglie recalled what Zhou Leng had said before: he didn't actually know the Pale Queen; he was just using her as a front.

"Things have come to this, it's a bit awkward." Zhang Xinglie accepted the essence of dragon blood and the battlefield shield token.

Molten Hammer said, "There's still time. You should hurry up and find Shanheyuan or his father, sell the extra Battlefield Shield Tokens, and exchange them for some Giant Fruits that you need."

Zhang Xinglie said, "That's the only way. Consider it an exchange of battlefield shield tokens between us. Come on, you come with me to Shanheyuan and ask him to help find a buyer. You come with me and we'll work together to fool them."

"I'm good at this, let's go!"

The two found Shanheyuan, who then found his father, Shanhetianyue. With Shanhetianyue's help, they sold the Battlefield Shield Token in exchange for a large amount of martial arts resources.

The transaction had just been completed when news came from the Giants' Royal Court.

The great battlefield is about to begin.

The world of dragons, the crimson dragon's lair.

Upon arriving, Azure Flame inquired and learned that Zhou Leng had left, and that the Dragon Battlefield was about to open due to unusual activity.

He stood outside the crimson dragon's lair, his expression changing.

Because of Zhou Leng's influence, his status rose significantly after entering the Three High Towers.

In addition, he was originally very talented, and he gained great benefits in the Demon Spirit Trial, which made up for his shortcomings and caused his strength to soar.

As a result, he was recruited as a disciple by the demigod demon spirit master Blazing Hope.

Not only does Blazing Hope hold an astonishing position in the world of magic, but he has also recently resolved several unresolved issues related to fire-type magic, making him the number one fire-type magic master in the world.

Blazing Hope had no intention of finding disciples, but he was overjoyed after solving the Demon Spirit's problem and began to mentor students within the Staff of Destruction organization.

By sheer coincidence, he discovered the Azure Flame and took him in as his last disciple.

The reason why Blazing Hope was able to solve the Demon Spirit problem was entirely because it read the Demon Spirit knowledge translated by Zhou Leng.

Blazing Hope possesses a Battlefield Shield Token, but his disciples are either in seclusion or are legendary figures; only Crimson Flame is suitable for it.

So they gave him a giant's battlefield shield token.

Cang Fei Zhi Yan possesses the Giant Clan's Battlefield Shield Token, while the other one belongs to Zhang Xing Lie and is to be given to Zhou Leng; it is a universal Battlefield Shield Token.

If he didn't want to miss the great battlefield, he had to return to the Giants' Court as soon as possible.

But when he met Zhang Xinglie, he boasted that he would definitely deliver the Battlefield Shield Token to repay Zhou Leng for carrying him into the second Demon Spirit Trial.

If he goes to Longshan now, it will likely delay his own progress.

Azure Flame pondered for a moment, recalling the prophecy from the last Demon Spirit Trial.

He did not act according to his father's understanding of the prophecy, but rather according to his own principles.

Now that things have come to this, even if they return to the world of giants now, it may be too late, preventing either of them from entering the Great Battlefield.

If it can be handed over to Zhou Leng, someone will eventually be able to get in.

Cang Fei Zhi Yan was a magic spirit master, but his status was not high enough to use the dragon clan's teleportation magic array. He could only grit his teeth and push the magic carriage with all his might, speeding towards Dragon Mountain.

Along the way, they were constantly pursued by evil dragons.

Thanks to their teacher's legendary flying carriage, and the demigod aura imbued with the burning flames of hope, they navigated the journey without major incident.

Below Dragon Mountain lies a massive city. Cang Fei Zhi Yan spared no expense in hiring a silver dragon to quickly locate Zhou Leng.

Upon seeing Zhou Leng and Emerald Wings, Azure Flame breathed a sigh of relief and handed over Zhang Xinglie's Battlefield Shield Token.

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

"What happened?" Zhou Leng asked.

Azure Flame said, "Zhang Xinglie made a bet with the orc tribe and won two battlefield shield tokens..."

After listening, Zhou Leng said helplessly, "If I had known that he could get the Battlefield Shield Token by becoming the orc prince consort, why would I have bothered cooperating with the Crimson-Eyed Queen..."

"What's going on?" Cang Fei Zhi Yan asked.

Zhou Leng then explained his situation and took out his battlefield shield token.

"Damn it..." Cang Fei Zhi Yan cursed, having been busy for so long, only to be the one who suffered bad luck.

"You look a little pale."

Azure Flame took out the battlefield shield token used by giants and said, "This has the aura of a giant on it, so it cannot enter through the dragon's territory."

"I've heard of it. Apparently, it's to prevent unauthorized sales. Let me see," Zhou Leng said.

Azure Flame handed out a palm-sized, shield-shaped token with a star-like totem on it—the symbol of the giant race.

Zhou Leng took the Giant's Shield Token and examined it carefully.

Cangfei Zhiyan sighed and said, "I heard from a passing dragon that the Great Battlefield will open in at most an hour. Even if I grow ten pairs of wings, I still won't be able to return to the Giants' Court."
