King of Myriad Domain
Chapter 122
“青电石！”
“Green Electric Stone!”
看着将那些青色玉石吞下的雷冥兽，潘涛轻呼一声，也在他的储物手环内，去找寻类似的灵石。
Pan Tao exclaimed softly as he watched the Dark Thunder Beast swallow the Green electric stone. He too looked for similar spiritual stones in his storage bracelet.
他看出来了，这头五阶的雷冥兽，已开启了智慧，可不是容易糊弄的主。
He had realized that that Grade Five Dark Thunder Beast had already developed its own intelligence. It was its own master and was not something that could be easily deceived.
雷冥兽为雷电属性的灵兽，它的修炼依赖于雷电之力，青电石虽然只是低级的灵材，可是因为蕴藏着雷电之力，恰恰适合它的血脉进阶。
Dark Thunder Beast was a thunder attributed spiritual beast, so its cultivation relied on its thunder and lightning energy. Even though the Green Electric Stone was just a low level spiritual material, it was extremely suitable for the cultivation of the Dark Thunder Beast’s blood vessels since it had thunder and lightning energy within it.
“妈的！我没有储藏青电石！”潘涛找了一番，也没有找到任何一块雷电属性的灵石，暗暗咒骂。
“d.a.m.n it! I didn’t store any Green Electric Stones.” Pan Tao looked for a while, yet couldn’t find any thunder attributed spiritual stones. He cursed inwardly.
聂天冷眼看着那头雷冥兽，发现它在将安诗怡驮上以后，立即站了起来。
Nie Tian looked at the Dark Thunder Beast with cold eyes. He noticed that it had immediately stood up after An Shiyi got on its back.
雷冥兽的眼瞳，闪烁着贪婪的目光，直勾勾地看着潘涛等人，似在等候着什么。
The Dark Thunder Beast’s pupils were shining with greed. It looked at Pan Tao and the gang with fixed eyes, as if it were waiting for something.
“三块青电石你还不知足啊？”聂天骂道。
“Are three Green Electric Stones not enough for you?” Nie Tian scolded.
雷冥兽瞪了他一眼，压根就不理会他，只是盯着潘涛等人，以眼神催促。
The Dark Thunder Beast glared at him once, not bothering with him. Then it only stared at Pan Tao and the gang with an urging expression.
催促他们和安诗怡一样，拿出雷电属性的灵石来取悦它，让它乖乖将众人带上。
It was urging them to be like An Shiyi and satisfy it by taking out thunder attributed spiritual stones. Only then would it obediently carry everyone.
“咯咯！”
- Gurgle gurgle! -
坐在它身上的安诗怡，娇笑如花，似忽然想到了什么好主意，明眸流转着动人心魄的波光。
An Shiyi, who was sitting on its back, suddenly smiled, making her face blossom like a flower. She seemed to have come up with a good idea. Her bright pupils were circulating with gleaming reflection of waves that could move and thrill people.
“诺！”
“Nuo!”
她再次取出三块青电石，顺着雷冥兽的脖颈，又递了过来。
Once again, she took out three Green Electric Stones and handed them over, along the Dark Thunder Beast’s neck.
雷冥兽一口吞下，发出一声满足的低鸣，神情欢愉。
The Dark Thunder Beast swallowed all of them at once and let out a satisfied, low cry with a joyous expression.
“她！”安诗怡玉手一抬，指向了安颖，说道：“你上来吧。”
“Her!” An Shiyi’s pointed at An Ying as soon as she raised her lily-white hand. She said, ”You can come up.”
安颖愣了一下，马上就反应了过来，呵呵轻笑着，走向了雷冥兽。
An Ying was blank for a while, but then she immediately responded to it and walked towards the Dark Thunder Beast while smiling softly.
先前站起，明显不允许众人上身的雷冥兽，又非常温顺地蹲伏在地，让那安颖可以轻易坐上来。
The Dark Thunder Beast, that had previously stood up to give an obvious sign that it did not allow everyone to climb on its back, once again gently crouched low and bent forward on the ground, letting An Ying to climb on it.
“这头灵兽……好有趣。”安颖坐到她姐姐身后时，盈盈一笑，好奇地打量着雷冥兽。
“This spiritual beast is interesting.” An Ying spared a smile as she sat behind her sister, curiously taking measure of the Dark Thunder Beast.
待到她刚刚坐稳，雷冥兽又霍然而起，怒视着潘涛。
Not long after she had sat down, the Dark Thunder Beast abruptly stood up again and cast an angry look towards Pan Tao.
潘涛尴尬的，站在雷冥兽身旁，讪讪一笑。
Pan Tao stood next to the Dark Thunder Beast awkwardly and gave a embarra.s.sed smile.
他原本想趁着安颖上去时，也悄悄登上雷冥兽的背部，但却被雷冥兽及时发现，阻止了他的投机取巧。
Originally, he had wanted to secretly climb up the back of the Dark Thunder Beast while An Ying was going up. But the Dark Thunder Beast managed to realize in time and had put a stop to his tricks.
“叶大哥，你有雷电属性的灵石吗？”姜灵珠小声问。
Brother Ye, do you have any thunder attributed spiritual stone?” Jiang Lingzhu asked softly.
叶孤末摇头，抓着头发说道：“找遍了，一块雷电属性的灵石都没有。该死的雷冥兽，没有喂饱它，恐怕我们也上不了它的后背。”
Ye Gumo shook his head and said while grabbing his hair, ”I have looked everywhere, but I do not have even one thunder or lightning attributed spiritual stone. This d.a.m.n Dark Thunder Beast, if we do not feed it until it’s satisfied, I fear that we too will not be able to climb up its back.”
“早就听过这畜生贪财势利，没料到它真这么坏！我们可是凌云宗的人，它是师叔
祖圈养的灵兽，竟然连我们都要压榨！”姜灵珠咒骂道。
“I have long since heard that this beast has a voracious desire for money and power, but who would have antic.i.p.ated for it to be this bad! We are the people of Lingyun Sect. It is a spiritual beast reared by Martial Uncle’s ancestors. However, it has gone so far as to impose on us!” Jiang Lingzhu said as she cursed.
“呵呵，我手中青电石还有很多呢。”安诗怡美眸闪烁着迷人波光，望着潘涛和姜灵珠、叶孤末，笑眯眯地说道：“潘涛，我们都是灵宝阁的，我不会宰你的。你拿三块火晶石出来，我换三块青电石给你如何？”
“Hehe, I still have a lot of Green Electric Stones in my hand.” An Shiyi’s beautiful pupils were shining with charming light. She looked at Pan Tao, Jiang Lingzhu, and Ye Gumo and said while beaming, ”Pan Tao, we are all from Ling Bao Court, so I won’t allow you to die. Take out three Fire Crystal Rocks and I will exchange them for three Green Electric Stones. What do you think?”
“安大姐！有你这么做生意的么？”潘涛跳将起来，恼火地说道：“青电石只是低级的雷属性灵材，火晶石可是高级的火焰灵石！地级灵材和高级灵材，中间差了多少级别，你不会不清楚吧？”
“Big sister An! Is there anyone who does this kind of business like you?” Pan Tao jumped and angrily said, ”Green Electric Stones are just low level spiritual materials, but Fire Crystal Rocks are high grade fire spiritual stones! You wouldn’t have confused the vast difference between a high grade spiritual stone and a low grade spirit stone, would you??”
“一块火晶石，能至少兑换七百块青电石，你拿三块青电石，换我三块火晶石，太过分了吧？”
“A piece of Fire Crystal Rocks could at least convert into seven hundred Green Electric Stones. You want to use three Green Electric Stones and exchange them with me for three Fire Crystal Rocks. Isn’t that too much?”
安诗怡抿嘴一笑，摊开手说道：“那就是不换喽？”
An Shiyi pursed up her lips and smiled. Then she spread out her hands and said, ”So that means you are not exchanging?”
雷冥兽的出现，让她在绝境之中，完全看到了脱身的契机，她知道这头异兽到了，他们能迅速离开赤炎山脉。
The appearance of the Dark Thunder Beast had let her seen an opportunity for her to escape from desperate straits. She knew that since this unusual beast had arrived, they could quickly leave Scarlet Flame Mountain Range.
有了安全的保障，她就放下心来，逮着机会尽可能地攫取利益。
With that guarantee, she immediately let go of her worries and took the opportunity to plunder as many benefits as possible.
“不换！”潘涛斩钉截铁道。
“I am not exchanging!” Pan Tao said unhesitatingly.
“那算了。”安诗怡摆出无所谓的态度。
“So be it.” An Shiyi showed an uncaring att.i.tude.
聂天看着此刻笑颜如花，很是开心的安诗怡，觉得这一刻的安诗怡，才是真正的她。
Nie Tian smiled like a flower. The resourceful An Shiyi at that moment was the true An Shiyi..
安诗怡对于交易，利益的压榨，似乎天生感兴趣，聂天也隐隐听说过，她以前为灵宝阁打理的那些生意，都赚取了丰厚的利润。
An Shiyi seemed to have had knack for business dealings since she was born. Nie Tian had also faintly heard before that the business deals that she had previously undertaken in the Ling Bao Court had all earned abundant profits.
她能得到灵宗宗主的器重，除了她本身颇有天赋以外，更重要的一点，就是她有这方面的特长。
Aside from the innate talent that she possessed, her skill in the business field was what had caused the sect master to regard her highly.
今天，聂天总算是见识到了安诗怡，攫取财富的能力。
Today, Nie Tian had finally seen for himself An Shiyi’s ability to plunder wealth.
“这是火晶石！比那青电石不知珍贵了多少倍，我用这一块火晶石，换取离开赤炎山脉的机会！”潘涛恼怒地瞪了安诗怡一眼，取出一块火晶石，将其递给了雷冥兽。
“This are Fire Crystal Rocks! They are so many times more precious than Green Electric Stones. I will use this piece of Fire Cloud Stone to exchange for the opportunity to leave Scarlet Flame Mountain Range!” Pan Tao stared at An Shiyi angrily. He took out a Fire Crystal Rock and pa.s.sed it on to the Dark Thunder Beast.
“呼哧！”
- Hu Chi! -
雷冥兽从鼻孔内，吐出了一口蕴着丝丝电流的浊气，看都没有去看火晶石一眼，而是瞄向远处的岩浆潭。
The Dark Thunder Beast let out a breath that was filled with threads of electrical sparks. It did not even glance at the Fire Crystal Rock, but rather it looked towards the lava ponds in the distance.
在那岩浆潭内，有着许多深藏底部的火晶石，闪烁着璀璨火光。
Inside the lava ponds, there were many Fire Crystal Rocks hidden at the bottom, flickering with bright and fiery sparks.
雷冥兽似乎在通过这种方式，告诉潘涛火晶石不值一文，赤炎山脉的各个区域都有，根本不足以让它多带一人。
The Dark Thunder Beast seemed to be telling Pan Tao that the Fire Crystal Rocks were not even worth one cent in its eyes. There were Fire Crystal Rocks in every part of the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range, so it was not at all enough to make it carry one more person.
“你这蠢兽！”潘涛暴跳如雷。
“You foolish beast!” Pan Tao stamped with fury.
可雷冥兽压根不理会他，只是哼哧哼哧的，继续吐着炼化青电石形成的浊气。
But the Dark Thunder Beast did not care about him at all. It only puffed hard and continued to let out breaths refined by Green Electric Stone.
“赤炎山脉，并没有那么安全，这一点你们都知道。”安诗怡老神在在，慢条斯理地分析道：“谁也不知道宗门那边的情况如何，也不知那头地炎兽，是否还在发疯。下方的岩浆，真渗入地底了，很多和我们一样，潜藏在石峰山顶的人，都能活动开来。”
“You should know that the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range is not that safe anymore.” The calm and easygoing An Shiyi a.n.a.lyzed with an unhurried voice. She continued, ”n.o.body has any idea about the situation within the sect, nor if the Earth Flame Beast is still going mad. If the magma below had really permeated into the ground, a lot of people, who were trapped and hid in the mountain peaks just like us, would all be able to move.”
“其它暂且不说，就在我们旁边，还有封罗和虞彤。”
“All other things aside, Feng Luo and Yu Tong are still quite close to us.”
“没了熔岩沟壑和火焰溪流的阻碍，我想封罗和虞彤，势必会毫不犹豫地冲上来，对我们痛下杀手。”
“Without the hindrance of the river and gorge full of lava, I think that Feng Luo and Yu Tong would definitely rush towards here without the slightest hesitation and murder us painfully.”
“这只是我们知道的，不知道的，或许还有着更多的强者。”
“This is only as far as we know. There could be even more experts out there that we don’t know about.”
“在赤炎山脉浪费时间，真的非常不明智，会让我们处于很危险的境地。”
“Wasting time in the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range is really insensible; it would keep us be in a dangerous circ.u.mstance.”
安诗怡轻轻蹙眉，以一种凝重的语气，向众人阐明其中的厉害，又说道：“刚刚，大家都收集了众多的火晶石，拿出几块来，换取逃生的机会，照我来看，是非常明智且划算的。”
An Shiyi tenderly knitted her eyebrows and explained to the crowd about the serious situation in a dignified tone. She said again; ” Just now, everyone collected a lot of Fire Crystal Rocks, so taking a few out to exchange for an opportunity to escape, from what I see, is very sensible and worthwhile.”
聂天听着她夸夸而谈，看着她美眸瞄着潘涛等人，自己嘴角泛出笑意，觉得很有趣。
As Nie Tian listened to her speak, while looking at her beautiful pupils that were aiming at Pan Tao and the gang, the corner of his mouth curled up in a smile. He thought that it was quite interesting.
他早看出来了，安诗怡分明是逮住了绝佳的时机，想要从潘涛等人手中，撬出一些火晶石。
He had long since noticed that An Shiyi had clearly seized an exceptional opportunity and wanted to pry open a few Fire Crystal Rocks from the hands of Pan Tao and his gang.
“算你狠！”潘涛哼道，他乖乖取出三块火晶石，冲安诗怡摇了摇手，说道：“它是你的了！”
“Fine! You win!” Pan Tao snorted. He obediently took out three pieces of Fire Crystal Rock, waved his hand towards An Shiyi, and said, ”They are yours now!”
“这就对了嘛。”安诗怡巧笑盈盈，也拿出了三块青电石，重新递给雷冥兽，待到雷冥兽吞下时，一指潘涛。
“That’s the way.” An Shiyi spared a smile. She took out three Green Electric Stones and once again pa.s.sed them to the Dark Thunder Beast. She waited until the Dark Thunder Beast had swallowed them and pointed at Pan Tao.
雷冥兽吞下青电石后，果然乖乖蹲下，让潘涛上去了。
As expected, after the Dark Thunder Beast had swallowed the Green Electric Stones, it obediently crouched down and let Pan Tao up.
潘涛登上以后，便将手中的三块火晶石，递给了安颖，由安颖交给了最前方的安诗怡。
After Pan Tao climbed up, he handed over the three Fire Crystal Rocks in his hand to An Ying to let her pa.s.s it on to An Shiyi, who was in front of her.
“你们呢？”安诗怡又看向姜灵珠和叶孤末。
How about you guys?” An Shiyi once again looked at Jiang Lingzhu and Ye Gumo.
“可恶的女人！”姜灵珠低骂了一句，也只能取出三块火晶石来，对着她摇晃了一下。
“You vile woman!” Jiang Lingzhu cursed in a low tone. She too could only take out three Fire Crystal Rocks and wave them towards An Shiyi.
叶孤末也苦笑着拿出了火晶石。
Ye Gumo also took out three Fire Crystal Rocks with a bitter smile.
“不，不够。”安诗怡摇头，以理所当然地口气说道：“潘涛是我们灵宝阁的，所以才能一换一。至于你们……每人需要六块火晶石，才能换我的三块青电石。”
“No, not enough.” An Shiyi shook her head and spoke with a firm tone, ”Pan Tao belongs to our Ling Bao Court, which is why we could exchange one to one. As for you guys, each of you would need six Fire Crystal Rocks to exchange for three of my Green Electric Stones.”
也不知是早有定计，还是听到了姜灵珠的小声咒骂，反正安诗怡态度很是坚决。
Nie Tian heard Jiang Lingzhu’s soft curse, as if she had already expected it. In any case, An Shiyi’s att.i.tude was still really determined.
“你这女人疯了不成？”姜灵珠火了，愤怒地嚷嚷道：“你们灵宝阁都到了如此境地了，还需要我们凌云宗和其它两宗的援助！都这样了，你竟然还要敲诈我？”
“Woman, could it be that you have turned mad?” Jiang Lingzhu had been angered. she argued, ” Your Ling Bao Court has already fallen to such conditions and even needed the help from our Lingyun Sect and the other two sects! It has already become like this and yet you still want to blackmail me?”
安诗怡收敛了笑容，淡淡说道：“就是因为灵宝阁经过此劫，会元气大伤，甚至可能会就此消失，我才要尽可能多的获取珍贵灵材，为我们姐妹的将来做准备。如果真没了宗门，我们姐妹以后，凭什么立足于离天域？”
An Shiyi restrained her smile and said unenthusiastically, ”It’s exactly because the Ling Bao Court has been drastically injured after going through this incident, so much so that it may just disappear because of this, that I would want to get as many precious spiritual materials as possible in order to get us sisters ready for the future. If we really have lost the sect, what would us sisters depend on in order to stand up in the domain in the future?”
这句话一出，姜灵珠忽然沉默了，她深深看了安诗怡一眼，点头道：“算了，我算是见识到你的厉害了。灵宝阁真完蛋了，我会请求我父亲，让凌云宗招募你。你这样的女人，就算是境界低微，对宗门都有大用。”
As soon as those words came out, Jiang Lingzhu suddenly became silent. She looked deeply towards An Shiyi once, the nodded her head and said, ”Fine, I should be considered to have tasted your formidability. Had the Ling Bao Court really been finished, I would ask my father to let Lingyun Sect recruit you. A woman like you, even if you have a low stature in the domain, you would still be of great help to the sect.”
话罢，她又再取出三块火晶石。
After speaking, she once again took out three Fire Crystal Rocks.
叶孤末也是一样。
The same went for Ye Gumo.
安诗怡拿出六块青电石，递给了雷冥兽以后，雷冥兽重新蹲下，容姜灵珠和叶孤末上了身。
After An Shiyi took out six Green Electric Stones and pa.s.sed it to the Dark Thunder Beast, the Dark Thunder Beast crouched down once again, letting both Jiang Lingzhu and Ye Gumo up on its body.
然后，便只剩下聂天一人在外。
After that, Nie Tian was the only one left off.
那头雷冥兽，在姜灵珠和叶孤末坐上时，又站了起来，抬头看天，像是没有发现聂天的存在。
After both Jiang Lingzhu and Ye Gumo sat, the Dark Thunder Beast again stood up, raised its head, and looked into the sky like it did not notice Nie Tian’s presence.
本来，它是专门接聂天离开的，如今尝到了甜头，它是连聂天也不愿意放过了。
Originally, its purpose was to get Nie Tian and leave. But now, since it had tasted sweetness, it would not even let Nie Tian on.
看着它那鸟样，聂天就知道不出点血，恐怕还要和这畜生耗下去。
Looking at its arrogant manner, Nie Tian right away knew that if he did not give up a bit of blood, he would have to waste his energy with this b.a.s.t.a.r.d.
但正如安诗怡所说，赤炎山脉并不去安全，他其实耗不起……
But just as An Shiyi said, Scarlet Flame Mountain Range was actually not safe. He really could not afford to waste it.
“安姐姐，我……”他也从储物手环内，去取火晶石。
“Sister An, I……” He too took out several Fire Crystal Rocks from his storage bracelet.
“你不用。”安诗怡重新展颜一笑，随手丢给了雷冥兽三块青电石，并稍稍往后挤了挤，让出了最前方的位置，招手道：“快上来吧。”
“You don’t need to.” An Shiyi once again smiled. She conveniently threw three pieces of Green Electric Stones to the Dark Thunder Beast and moved back slightly, giving up the frontmost seat. She waved her hand and said, ”Get on quickly.”
“好的。”聂天呵呵一笑，在潘涛、叶孤末诡异的目光下，跳跃到蹲伏下的雷冥兽身上。
“Alright.” Nie Tian smiled. He jumped onto the back of the crouching Dark Thunder Beast under the gazes of Pan Tao and Ye Gumo.
他紧贴着安诗怡，坐在了最前方，狠狠踹了雷冥兽一脚，骂道：“走吧！”
He stuck closely to An Shiyi and sat at the frontmost part. He ruthlessly kicked the Dark Thunder Beast and ordered, ”Let’s go!”
雷冥兽低鸣一声，展翅高飞，在远方封罗和虞彤的目光中，往赤炎山脉外面的天空而去。
The Dark Thunder Beast let out a single low cry before it opened up its wings and flew high up, under the gazes of both Yu Tong and Feng Luo, and headed out of the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range.
