"...Should we, perhaps, leave?"

Bai Ling swallowed nervously.

It wasn't that she was afraid, but the Spirit Beast army ahead was overwhelming.

Lin Chen glanced over, and instantly felt like retreating.

The opposing lineup was excessively strong, with countless Spirit Beasts observing them, and as soon as they saw the two anomalies, Lin Chen and Bai Ling, countless eyes lit up....

Lin Chen was drenched in sweat.

This celestial-grade Spirit Egg truly wasn't easy to obtain.

Bai Ling's words weren't wrong. If they were to confront them head-on, even with several Bai Lings and Lin Chens, it would still be insufficient.

Even if all the people who came to Celestial Beast Island were counted together, they would likely be unable to withstand them.

Seeing the beasts prepare to attack, Bai Ling's face turned pale; the sheer number was terrifying. However, Lin Chen glanced at the Little Fox, who then roared, leaped onto a high rock, and almost instantly, with Heart-Burning Fire Control, condensed a True Fire Nuclear Bomb.

The leading few Beast Kings were all Level 40. Seeing Little Fox's True Fire Nuclear Bomb, they immediately flocked together to protect the celestial-grade Spirit Egg.

Clearly, Little Fox's level was too low to even factor into their considerations.

They were even more furious seeing Lin Chen still dare to take the initiative, and they signaled the beast army to slaughter.

Witnessing this, Lin Chen was shocked and quickly shouted loudly:

"Everyone, I definitely can't defeat you, but the volcano behind you must still have lava inside. My Spirit Beast only needs to throw one fireball in, and we'll all perish."

The beast army continued charging forward despite hearing this, ready to engulf them. Lin Chen's pupils shrank and he urgently commanded Little Fox, saying: "Throw!"

Little Fox did not hesitate and immediately lifted the True Fire Nuclear Bomb high.

At this moment, a beast roar sounded:

"Roar!"

Instantly, all the beast army halted. Lin Chen also immediately stopped Little Fox's action. Looking ahead, there was a Beast King with extremely dark skin.

Hundred-Eyed Beast.

The appearance of the Hundred-Eyed Beast wasn't pleasing, and those with trypophobia might feel their scalp tingle looking at it.

However, it doesn't have a hundred eyes as the name suggests; its head is oddly shaped with a full ten eyes.

This Spirit Beast determines its strength by the number of opened eyes.

But now, apart from its normal pair of eyes, all the other eyes were closed, making it impossible to judge its strength limit.

The Hundred-Eyed Beast King glared at Lin Chen with full killing intent. Lin Chen quickly said: "This celestial-grade Spirit Egg isn't your offspring. While you do have a duty to protect it, there's no need to risk your entire tribe."

The pupils of the present Beast Kings became even more hostile; was this human threatening and provoking them?

The intelligence of Beast Kings is quite high, and at this moment they all understood Lin Chen was intimidating them.

However, Lin Chen originally didn't intend to simply deceive them but said: "You've lived here for more than just a few days, and you know every four years, humans will come to take an egg. Even if I don't get it today, someone else will come tomorrow."

At this point, the Hundred-Eyed Beast "roared," meaning Lin Chen shouldn't think he could scare them. Even if others really did take it, it wouldn't fall to him.

"I just want an opportunity." Lin Chen smiled and said: "If you don't give it, then let's perish together."

The Hundred-Eyed Beast sneered, roaring to mock Lin Chen. Humans fear death the most—how could they willingly perish with them?

"I think you've misunderstood me," Lin Chen said: "If I blow up this volcano, all I need to do is scream for help, and someone will immediately rescue us."

"Resisting the volcanic lava with this celestial-grade Spirit Egg is easy. Then only you will die, and we merely miss the chance for the Egg."

Lin Chen's words made the few Spirit Beasts look at each other.

They indeed have lived here for a long time and realize Lin Chen spoke the truth.

From Lin Chen's actions earlier, the Hundred-Eyed Beast could tell Lin Chen was ruthless.

If a deal can't be struck, Lin Chen might indeed go through with it.

As for Little Fox's True Fire Nuclear Bomb, igniting the volcano would be incredibly simple.

The Hundred-Eyed Beast King nodded and agreed to a deal. Then, six Level 40 Beast Kings stepped forward, indicating that if Lin Chen could defeat them, the celestial-grade Spirit Egg would be handed over.

"..." Lin Chen was speechless after listening and said: "Beast King, don't play with me. Neither of our Spirit Beasts is Level 40; with all six of you together, I might as well surrender directly."

The Hundred-Eyed Beast surveyed Lin Chen and asked what his proposal was.

"How about two then?" Lin Chen said: "Neither of our third Spirit Beasts can engage in such a battle. Two of the Spirit Beasts are only Level 32, significantly lower. Does it seem fair to you?"

The Hundred-Eyed Beast King glanced back at the other Beast Kings and then formed a circle for a quick discussion.

Shortly, the Hundred-Eyed Beast King told Lin Chen two were too few—the minimum is three Beast Kings.

Lin Chen heard this and forced a smile, realizing these Beast Kings were shrewder than ghosts.

With two, Lin Chen and his group still had quite a chance. But facing three, the difficulty increased greatly.

A Level 40 Beast King, with Xiaobai's current strength, could handle one.

The abilities of the Calamity-Devouring Beast remain unclear, but it should be able to hold on for a while.

As for Xiao Hong and Red Feather Chicken, their levels were too far apart.

Seeing the Beast Kings unwilling to decrease the number, Lin Chen could only nod.

There was no other choice; since they wouldn't relent, Lin Chen had to try his best.
