After the leaderboard was updated, the earth dragon stared at Lin Feng for a long time.

"Ten thousand points?"

"Not enough?"

Lin Feng remained silent, only pulling out the Myriad Calamities Heavenly Halberd, causing the Source Control Embryo to be lifted by the halberd's edge.

The green flesh was still twitching; the sound-transmitting organs in the abdomen had been severed.

Lin Feng stored the control source tire in a separate storage space.

The corpse is evidence; keeping it is more useful than absorbing it.

The chief referee team has received the home team's record, but since Augustus can reach into the competition area, he may be able to change the investigation results.

Only by having the original evidence in your own hands can you have the right to negotiate a price.

He was familiar with this matter.

"Where is the source essence?"

The earth dragon raised its claws and pointed behind it.

"Just lift up the bottom slab."

Lin Feng did not go.

"First, unlock the storage ring's permissions."

"It's solved."

There are three locks inside.

The earth dragon coughed.

"Habit. The longer you live, the more guarded you become."

"The last time."

"Okay, okay."

It touched the storage ring with its claw tip, and the three spiritual imprints dissipated one by one. The Earth Vein Source Essence was placed inside.

Lin Feng confirmed that there were no hidden tricks before putting away the storage ring.

The earth dragon raised its claws.

"The pool is still down there."

"I didn't say I didn't want it."

"Then go ahead and get it."

"Let's talk about the chains first."

The earth dragon retracted its claws.

The six chains were not ordinary instruments of torture.

The chains are driven into the earth's veins, connecting to the entire arena's formation. If forcibly severed, the main formation will mark the attacker as disrupting the arena.

Lin Feng came here to make a breakthrough, not to unnecessarily incur a violation.

Of course, if the compensation is sufficient, it can be considered.

The earth dragon has lived for so many years, and its life has not been in vain.

What do you want?

"The armor you're wearing."

"No."

"That's not negotiable."

"I've given you all the essence!"

"That's the payment for taking the parasite."

The earth dragon stared at the wound on its shoulder. Three armor plates were missing, and the bleeding hadn't stopped.

Lin Feng avoided the heart and main artery when removing the parasite, his technique was quite good. But this kid talked about money before making the cut, and he wanted to talk about money again after he pulled the knife out.

It suddenly missed the previous contestants.

People run away as soon as they see it, it saves them trouble.

"I'll give you a maximum of six dollars."

"Twenty yuan."

"Seven pieces."

"eighteen."

"Eight pieces, no more than that."

Lin Feng raised the Myriad Calamities Heavenly Halberd.

"sixteen."

"You only lower the price by two dollars each time?"

"right."

The earth dragon remained silent for several breaths.

"Ten dollars, and I'll tell you about another entrance to the ley lines."

"make a deal."

Lin Feng sheathed his halberd.

Watching his actions, the earth dragon felt it had agreed too soon. But the control nail had already been exposed; those outside wouldn't leave it. It would be the first thing dealt with during the post-match evidence cleanup.

To survive, you must break free.

"The chains cannot be cut by force," the earth dragon said. "The six array points are interconnected. If one is moved, the other five will drain my life force."

Lin Feng walked to the first chain and scraped away the surface with a bone shuttle.

The lock cylinder is engraved with two sets of patterns.

A set connecting the earth's veins.

Another set connects to the heart of the earth dragon.

The organizing committee claimed to be restricting the activities of the star beasts, but in reality, they had left behind methods of execution. When necessary, they could activate the array patterns, and the earth dragon would not survive more than ten breaths.

[A composite confinement array has been detected.]

[Time required to lift the regular lockdown: nine hours.]

[Forced removal requires 3 grams of Space Master Gold.]

Lin Feng looked at the earth dragon.

"Add three more pieces of armor."

Why?

"You need to fill out some information inside the lock."

"What should we use?"

"Space Mother Metal".

The earth dragon shut its mouth.

It didn't understand casting, but it had heard of space mother metal. That stuff is priced by the gram, so using it to unlock locks is truly a waste.

Lin Feng didn't explain.

The spatial mother metal within the Myriad Calamities Heavenly Halberd has already fused with the dragon bone; separating it by three grams would affect the weapon's structure. He didn't intend to actually dismantle it.

Nine hours is too long.

Another method is to let the earth dragon provide its own source, feigning death to deceive the execution array patterns. The system handles the modification of the array's core judgment, taking less than a quarter of an hour.

The extra three pieces of armor are for technical fees.

Lin Feng's right hand wouldn't last much longer. He needed to obtain the Earth Vein Source Essence first, then use the Earth Dragon to block the other star beasts, which would make his breakthrough less troublesome.

The earth dragon pondered for a moment.

"Twelve pieces."

"That was ten yuan."

"Didn't you add three pieces?"

"So it's thirteen."

The earth dragon's tail slapped against the inside of the crack.

"Have you always been like this with math?"

"It depends on the person."

"Twelve and a half dollars."

"Why only half a piece?"

"Your shoulder is torn; pick it up yourself."

Lin Feng glanced at the ground.

"make a deal."

The bone shuttle entered the array eye along the chain.

The earth dragon, as required, suppressed its source energy and lowered its heart rate to the minimum.

It didn't quite trust Lin Feng, but had no other choice. What bothered it even more was that Lin Feng hadn't touched the pool of source essence yet.

Any other contestant would have pounced on them long ago.

People who can control their greed are not easy to fool.

Someone who can negotiate the price while keeping an eye on their escape route is even harder to take advantage of.

"Don't move after we start," Lin Feng said.

"How long will it take?"

"Half a quarter of an hour."

"The spatial mother metal unlocked it so quickly?"

"The materials are good."

The earth dragon believed it.

Inside the main control tower, warnings kept popping up on the competition area panel.

[The source-controlled tire has lost response.]

[The life force of the Abyssal Armored Earth Dragon has decreased.]

Current health level: 71%.

Current health: 43%.

The steward in charge of controlling the array keeps a close eye on the data.

"Raymond Lam is killing an earth dragon."

The person next to him pulled up the surveillance footage. The only thing visible in the cracked area was Lin Feng standing beside the chains, the bone shuttle already inserted into the array's core. The earth dragon lay on the ground, its life force still waning.

"The earth dragon will retaliate before it dies. A fifth-tier Overlord self-destructing will be enough to give it a hard time."

Deacon input permissions.

The execution order was transmitted to the competition area.

All six chains lit up at the same time.

The array patterns at the earth dragon's heart began to contract, and the metal wires buried in the flesh cut inward.

It lifted its eyelids slightly.

"Didn't you say it wouldn't hurt?"

Did I say that?

"You told me not to move."

"Don't move and it doesn't hurt are two different things."

The earth dragon wanted to curse, but was afraid that its rising heart rate would affect its feigned death, so it could only press its head back into the ground.

The life stats on the system panel continue to decrease.

Twenty percent.

Nine percent.

Three percent.

Inside the main control tower, the steward released the control lever.

"It's done."

Life points are reduced to zero.

The light representing the Abyss Armor Earth Dragon disappeared from the array plate. The execution array closed, and the six chains automatically severed their connection with the earth's veins.

The next instant, the chains fell off the earth dragon's neck.

The earth dragon opened its eyes, and its chest began to rise and fall again.

It looked down at the alloy ring that had fallen to the ground, then looked at Lin Feng.

"It's open already?"

"Space mother metal, three grams."

"Could I see the rest?"

"cannot."

The earth dragon became increasingly convinced that the thing was very expensive.

Lin Feng retracted the bone shuttle, the dark red markings on his right palm already approaching his wrist. He had been distracted by controlling the array patterns, and the mark had eroded another section of it.

He doesn't have much time left.

"Lift the rock slab."

The earth dragon stretched out its claws and inserted them into the bottom of the crack, lifting up a thick slab of rock.

Below, a stone pool is revealed.

The pool contained pale yellow source marrow, weighing far more than eighteen jin, at least two hundred jin.

Lin Feng looked at the earth dragon.

The earth dragon turned its head to the other side.

"Poor memory."

"It's ten times worse."

"Old age."

Lin Feng didn't pursue the matter any further.

The earth dragon's ability to store a pool of primordial essence is its own skill. The two sides have already agreed that any excess will belong to him.

He squatted by the pool, pressing his left hand into the source marrow.

Reverse absorption operation.

The primordial essence of the earth veins surged into the meridians, and the dominant core within the dantian began to expand. The initial stage, which was just a step away from the late stage of the first rank, was quickly pushed to the peak of the first rank.

The Devouring Mark on the right palm slowed down due to the impact of the source.

Breaking through to the second tier requires more than just energy; it also requires the source of killing power to undergo a transformation.

Lin Feng took out the star cores of the two rock-armored beasts and pressed them into the stone pool.

The earth dragon's eyelids twitched as he watched.

"You want to break through here?"
