Chapter 70
The slightly scruffy old man was very casual and walked past Locke, grabbing a piece of steak and beginning to eat it directly.
While chewing the beef, the old man gave a thumb up with his oily hand. He couldn’t even speak clearly. “Brat, you’re good at cooking!”
“Of course.” Locke nodded confidently and put another piece of baked steak on Athena’s plate. Then he looked at the old man with a faint smile and said, “Old man, my roast meat is very expensive.”
Hearing Locke said that steak was very expensive, the old man’s body stiffened. He reluctantly handed the half-eaten roast meat to Locke and said, “You actually charge me for it? I won’t eat it. I’ll give it back to you.”
Looking at the old man’s cheeky face, Locke couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Then he said, “You have eaten half of it and should pay the half.”
“This is a level-4 magical beast, invaluable. But you look like don’t have much money. I’ll give you half off and charge you 5000 gold coins.”
“Five thousand gold coins?”
The old man jumped and refused directly, “Boy, why don’t you rob directly? I just ate a few mouthfuls of meat, but you actually charge me 5000 gold coins!”
“I have to make you clear today. No money, just the life!”
With these words, the old man sat cross-legged on the ground with a roguish look and continued to bite steaks.
To be honest, when he saw the two young people barbecuing in Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts without fear, his inner surprise was beyond description.
Especially when he saw the short-horned magical bull of level 4 roasted by the two people, he was even more shocked.
Was there any powerful man protecting these two people? Did this powerful man kill the level-4 magical beast? But he had checked it carefully and found that there was no trace of anyone nearby!
Out of strong curiosity, he chose to stay and have a look,
This boy had a mysterious power, and he should be a practitioner. As for this beautiful girl, there was no energy fluctuation on her body. She was completely an ordinary person.
He, Philemon, was a level-6 mage, and the two of them would never be his match.
“Ouch!”
At the same time, a high and angry roar passed through the thick forest and reached their ears.
The voice was sonorous, powerful, and dignified, and at the same time, it contained endless anger.
Locke didn’t care about the old man who was roguish anymore. He released his divine sense to see what a magical beast was, roaring.
However, he seemed to have seen something and could not help but feel a little stunned. “Is this… A dragon?”
In the sky, the magical beast’s entire body was red, and there was a circle of scarlet spikes around his head. His entire body was covered with hard scales, and a pair of flapping wings caused bursts of hurricanes.
Wasn’t this a super race at the top of the biological chain that had been said all the time in the Icacia Continent, the dragon race?
There was a dragon in Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts!
The Dragon race was one of the most powerful races in the world. The adult dragon was at least a level-6 magical beast, and the little dragon would also have the strength of a level-4 magical beast.
Compared with the dragon race, human beings were incomparably weak. However, although the dragon race was powerful, there were not many of them. Otherwise, the dragon race would dominate the continent, not humans.
Ten thousand years ago, there was a fierce battle in Icacia Continent. After the battle, the remaining dragons moved to a place called Dragon Island and rarely appeared in Icacia Continent.
Unexpectedly, there was a dragon here!
Locke took a deep breath and looked excited in his eyes.
In the distance, under the powerful pressure from the red dragon, the magical beasts all prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling.
“Damn human! How dare you steal the thing of the great dragon race, Badal! I will tear you to pieces!”
The red dragon roared angrily and spoke the human language.
It was the first time that Locke had seen a magical beast speak. He was very curious.
In order to vent his anger, the red dragon roared and spat out fireballs one by one.
Boom! Boom!
A series of terrifying explosions rang out in the quiet inner circle of Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts.
“Is this red dragon here for you?”
Locke turned to look at Philemon and asked. He found that since the red dragon appeared, the old man’s expression had been a little unnatural.
“How is that possible?”
With his eyes wide open, Philemon retorted. But anyway, he looked a little guilty.
“Well, now I have changed my mind. Give me 10000 gold coins. Otherwise, I will shout out. If I bring the red dragon here, you will be in danger.” Locke said indifferently, crossing his arms.
Hearing Locke’s threatening words, Philemon was stunned at first. Then he angrily pointed at Locke and said, “You are robbing when I have a difficulty. Do you know how to respect the elderly?”
Locke curled his lips and shrugged indifferently.
Taking a look at the furious red dragon and Locke’s stubborn look, he finally gave in. Philemon gritted his teeth and said, “Only 5000 gold coins. No more.”
“Eleven thousand.”
“Boy, why do you add more and more? 6000 is my bottom line!”
“Twelve thousand.”
Locke said calmly.
“Boy, don’t be so greedy! 7000! It can’t be more.”
…
Seeing the two bargaining’s, Athena touched her forehead helplessly. Her gaze fell on the red dragon in the distance.
“Okay, okay. We can’t say anything more. 14000.”
Philemon stopped Locke in a hurry, afraid that Locke would raise the price again.
In the end, the two of them completed the transaction at the price of 14000.
At the same time, the red dragon seemed to find something and stared in the direction of Locke and others.
“The despicable human, I finally found you!”
“I didn’t expect you to have a partner! Ah! I’m going to tear you up!” The red dragon spat out a fireball in the direction of Locke and the others directly and then flew over with roaring.
Seeing that he was finally discovered, Philemon’s face changed. After hesitating for a while, he sighed helplessly and gritted his teeth to say, “Boy, you go first. I’ll block him.”
As soon as he finished his words, a powerful magical fluctuation burst out from his body.
A huge magic shield made of flames appeared in midair and stopped the red dragon’s fireball.
Although it blocked the attack of the red dragon, Badal, there was still a crack on the magic shield. Seeing that magic shield was about to break, the red dragon sneered and several more fireballs smashed at him.
“Badal, I just took a broken stone from you. You don’t have to be so angry!”
Seeing such a series of fireballs, Philemon broke out into curses. Although he was cursing, his movements were not slow. In an instant, several magic shields appeared in front of him.
Boom!
The sound of collision between fireballs and magic shields echoed in the forest.
After fending off Badal’s attack, Philemon was ready to run away.
However, he saw two familiar figures behind him.
“Why haven’t you left yet?” Looking at Locke and Athena, Philemon was stunned.
He had put all his attention on dealing with the red dragon, Badal, and didn’t pay attention to the situation of Locke and Athena. Now he was stunned to see that the two were still there.
What made him most speechless was that the two of them did not leave, but they were drinking leisurely and watching the battle between him and Badal as if they were watching a play.
He fought hard alone to buy time for the two of them. As for others, they drank red wine leisurely and chatted comfortably.
At this moment, Philemon had the urge to beat someone up!
