Chapter 1060: Food Again
Translator: LawEditor: Hitesh
Tao Sha was the name of that Taotie Clan elder, and was a bit shameless.
As a pure-blood Taotie, Tao Sha held a highly important position in his clan. He was the totem of his clan. More importantly, he was a truly powerful, core elder of that large clan.
Standing on the golden bridge, Tao Sha rested his hands on his hips and murmured with a muffled voice, ”Earl Yao, you can’t lie to me. They promised me a large quantity of food. Will you really double it? Hehe, we are Taotie Clan, we won’t be fooled!”
Giving Tao Sha a side glance, Ji Hao responded impatiently, ”Of course I’ll double it. Even if my Yao Mountain territory can’t afford it, we have Tushan Family on our side. Are you afraid that Tushan Family don’t have enough food?”
Tao Sha tilted his head and pondered for a while. He seemed to think Ji Hao’s words were reasonable, as he let out a long breath in relief, and laughed happily, ”This is making sense. Hehe, Si Wen Ming, that kid, he is Tushan old man’s son in law!” Clicking his tongue, Tao Sha continued, ”Eh, I was too anxious. I must have lost my mind back then. Why did I accept their offer? I should have gone straight to Si Wen Ming!”
Clicking his tongue once again, Tao Sha took out a thumb-sized silver chain, which was glowing with a sharp cold light. He gently stroked the chain, seeming to be quite sad.
The power vibration released from the chain was especially sharp, such that Ji Hao felt like being pricked by needles even from the distance. This chain was such a fierce weapon that ordinary people could never get anywhere near it, because they would definitely be shred into pieces by its power vibration.
”This is?” Ji Hao asked curiously.
”Taotie teeth!” Tao Cha coiled that long chain around his left hand and responded with his muffled voice, ”The greatest treasure of our Taotie Clan. It was a nature-crafted chain, and the teeth of generations of our Taotie ancestors were pulled out by their descendants after they died, melted and merged with it. It’s a pre-world magic treasure!”
Tao Sha frowningly touched the few slight scratches on the chain, as if he were suffering a heartache. Then, he looked at Ji Hao from head to toe, said, ”Where did you get that bloody bell of yours? We have inherited our ancestor's memories through our bloodline, but we have no impression of that bell. Eh, Taotie teeth only bumped against it for a few times. How can it be scratched like a piece of iron?”
Ji Hao chuckled, not wanting to answer this question. Instead, he asked straightforwardly, ”Who hired you to stop me?”
Taotie blinked his eyes, laughed hollowly, slapped his chest and said, ”Earl Yao, you doubled the quantity of the food for our Taotie Clan, and I sincerely appreciate you. So, I will fight for you. But, as for the one hired me earlier, I truly can’t tell you his name. I’ve already lost half of this old face of mine. I can’t bear to lose all of it, can I? I did it for no one but those children in my clan… Hehe, otherwise…”
Shaking his head, Tao Sha pointed at Pu Ban City and continued coldly, ”I’m not the only one. Many people are still waiting out there. I was here to stop you, while some others went for Si Wen Ming’s troop!”
Ji Hao’s face turned dark. Didn’t those people go too far? He couldn’t help but shout in anger, ”What do they want? Are they truly going to tear the humankind apart, make all human beings homeless, and become slaves of the water-kind?”
Tao Sha remained silent for a while, then sighed heavily, and said, ”I don’t know what do they want. Our Western Wasteland is poor. We never had too much food stored in our clan. If we don’t do whatever we can to get some food back soon…I’m afraid those children would all starve to death!”
Spreading his hands, Tao Cha said blandly, ”People are dying. Humankind is falling apart…Hehe, whatever it is, fill our stomachs and survive, isn’t this the most important thing?”
