Final Lord
Chapter 59: The Arrogant King
Chapter 59: The Arrogant King (Normal Update)
Beside Kate and Hera, the harpy who was in charge of counting the number of people trembled in her voice:
"Next, count the total!
Chief Hege’s harvest was 330 eagles!
Chief Helan’s harvest was 340 eagles!
Chief Hera’s reward was 360 eagles!
The four leaders' total harvest in three days was 3 eagles.
Lord Kate's total harvest over the three days was 3 eagles.
Four chiefs win! According to the bet, Chief Kate will live in our nest until all the harpies have laid eggs.
Among them, the one with the most prey is Chief Hera. Chief Hera will replace Chief Heska and become the next mistress of Ghost Falls. Ah!!!"
When she shouted the last sentence, the harpy was so excited that her voice almost broke.
For a moment, the entire Ghost Falls Cliff was filled with the screams of the Harpies. Their gazes at the King of Disobedience shifted from admiration for a powerful being to greed for prey, their eyes beginning to become thready.
Hera looked at the king with a triumphant smile on her face.
"Lord Kate, we said that as long as you win, we will keep our promise. Now that you lose, I hope you can keep your promise too."
Wang Bufei looked at Hera coldly and said, "Chief Hera, the one who commanded those harpies to hinder my hunting was not Heska, but you, right?"
"What obstacle? What are you talking about?" Heska looked left and right in confusion, completely unable to understand the situation.
Her reaction showed that Wang Bufu's guess was correct.
"You want to accuse me of cheating and disqualify me?" Hera shook her head and said, "Give it up. You have no evidence, and I won't admit it. At this point, you should just admit defeat and abide by the bet. Don't force us to use force."
No matter how strong you are, you can never be a match for so many of us harpies."
"Give up?" Wang Bufu suddenly laughed. "Chief Hera, have you forgotten that the hunting competition ends only after the sun sets completely on the third day? Look, the sun hasn't even set yet."
Hera shook her beautiful tail feathers and said calmly, "So what? There are only ten minutes left until dark. What can you do in ten minutes? We have an absolute advantage in numbers!"
"Ten minutes—" Wang Bufu gathered a handful of dirt, crushed the dust in his palm with his finger bones, and reflected Hera's stunned face in his pupils.
"It's enough to crush your so-called absolute numerical advantage! Since those harpies are your subordinates, you should know that I am not only a warrior, but also a spellcaster.
My power is far beyond your imagination! "Book of Military Land, Volume 3, Expanding the Land into a City!"
Wang Bufu stepped on the rock again, and the underground river beneath Ghost Leaping Cliff suddenly roared like a dragon. The rock layer arched up like a giant dragon, and the riverbed rose up into a 30-meter dam in the blink of an eye, abruptly cutting off the upstream water flow.
At the same time, the fish dams built by the cavemen upstream and downstream suddenly collapsed, and the mountain torrent that had accumulated for three days rushed down, carrying the silver-scaled blind fish with it - no! It was not a flood at all! It was tens of millions of restless fish!
"The river... is fleeing?" Hera's pupils narrowed into vertical lines. Under the setting sun, the river surface surged with a suffocating silver light. The fish swarmed so tightly that their scales scraped against each other with a resounding sound. The crests of the waves weren't even splashes of water, but piles of fish heads. Wang Busu swung out his vine net, and with each tug, a school of fish leaped in—preferring to crash into the net rather than have their gill covers crushed by their fellows behind them.
He caught one net after another. In the end, Wang was unwilling to give up and simply stopped fishing. He symbolically placed the fishing net on the embankment, representing that the fish under the embankment were his prey.
A mountain of fish gradually piled up around Wang Bufu!
When the mountain of fish surpassed the height of the dam, the harpies' prey looked as ridiculous as a child's sandcastle. As the sun was about to set, Wang Bufu climbed the stairs, treading on the slippery carcasses of the fish and dropping the last of his net at Hera's feet. "Now, let's calculate the total weight."
Count, is there any point in counting? Hera looked at the mountain of fish and fell silent. Even if all the harpies at Ghost Leap joined forces, they might not be able to pull all these fish out.
"Why, why are there so many fish?" Heska asked, looking at the scene before him. "That's a 30-meter-high embankment, and it's full!"
Wang Bufu smiled slightly and said, "Remember yesterday? You said I was wasting food. The meat of a Level 3 creature is delicious. You harpies want to eat it, and so do the fish in the river."
"Then these fish should have come here long ago. Why did they wait until now..." Hera was halfway through her words when she suddenly realized, "You built a fish dam upstream! Use your spellcasting ability!"
The king was dissatisfied and smiled mysteriously:
"A fish dam alone isn't enough; there's also the smell of the Cliff Tiger. Remember the three times I went into the water? I secretly collected tiger sand from the Cliff Tiger and buried it in the riverbed every time I went into the water.
This causes the fish to linger outside the dam and not dare to approach."
"Three times into the water... when was that..." Hera took a breath: "You have been on guard against me from the beginning. You have never trusted me."
"Haha, why should I believe you? Look at your perky butt. And then look at your beautiful, big wings. How do you look like a human being?"
Wang Bufu laughed:
"I'm more curious about why you think I'd be stupid enough to believe you.
Let me tell you another secret. Actually, I knew from the beginning that you were the one who stopped me from hunting the Cliff Saber Tiger.
What a person does is often related to his character.
Chief Heska is a straightforward and strong-willed person. If she really wanted to break the bet, she would not use such tricks, but would fight me head-on.
That dirty trick was obviously your doing."
"Since you know, why don't you expose me?" Hera asked in shock.
The king walked over to Hera and said softly, "Of course it is because of me. There is no need to expose me. I am the king who will rule over you, and a king has his own magnanimity."
I don't care about Heska's brutality or your treacherous behavior. I just want you to be loyal to me and serve me.
In my hands, arrogance has another meaning: fearlessness, and cunning has another meaning: intelligence."
"You!" Hera was so shocked she didn't know how to respond. "How arrogant! Even more arrogant than Heska. From the beginning to the end, you never considered us your equals. You felt you were superior to us."
"You just realized it?" Wang Bufu smiled. He turned around and said loudly to all the harpies, "If I can't surpass you, what qualifications do I have to lead you?
O Harpy! Why do you hold hunting competitions to select your mistress? Because you need strong people to lead you in hunting for enough food to survive.
However, in my opinion, hunting is the least efficient means of obtaining food!
It's not so bad now, but in winter, when food is scarce, you often go hungry. Ghost Leaping Cliff has abundant food, but it will eventually run out. Just for a little food, you have to spend a lot of time and energy every day. If you get sick or feel unwell, you can only rely on the group for help.
Can such a life be considered stable? Living this way, you are unworthy of being intelligent beings. Tell me, where has your wisdom been used? What is the difference between you and the cliff sword tiger in the mountains?
