Chapter 817: Chapter 821: Points Redemption Cottage 7
The white sparrow and their group entered rather late, but they were very wary of the talking golden-glowing ball.
Xuan Shui looked up unintentionally and saw the leading Beast Soldier trapped in the Transparent Light Barrier in mid-air.
The leading Beast Soldier seemed to be struggling fiercely, yelling and shouting, yet not a single sound could be heard.
Xuan Shui found it very strange and uttered a "huh," pointing at the leading Beast Soldier above, "What’s going on with him?"
Ba Bao, somewhat smug, said, "He made a mistake, so Ba Bao punished him, and he’s not allowed to exchange for any items this round~"
Upon hearing this, White Sparrow and the others looked at Ba Bao with even more wariness.
The threat level of Ba Bao in their hearts quietly rose another degree.
Chi Tree sneaked a glance at Ba Bao, clenching his mouth shut, his eyes greedily fixed on the Light Shield containing the Advanced Cultivation Technique.
Since Chi Tree pledged his allegiance to Bai Ling, harboring ill intentions, his selfishness allowed him to emerge unscathed in the last challenge.
The reason he agreed to hand over his Points to Bai Ling was first, to show his sincerity, and second, to fear missing the chance if the Advanced Cultivation Technique wasn’t exchanged this time.
It was better to give up the Points first to gain enough trust, which would also make it easier for him to play dirty later on, and incidentally, to obtain the Advanced Cultivation Technique - killing two birds with one stone.
Chi Tree’s plan in his heart was perfect, but unfortunately, he missed one thing.
Bai Ling wore a faint smile on his face, but he sighed with a bit of regret.
"We’re a bit short on Points, but we’re nearly there, however, we should start thinking about how to solve this problem, otherwise, even if we have enough Points, we still won’t be able to make the exchange."
When Chi Tree heard this, he choked up.
It was as if a piece of wood was stuck on his chest, unable to go up or down.
His face gradually turned red.
It was anger.
How could it not be enough?
Bai Ling had already collected everyone’s Points, how could it still be insufficient?
Or could it be that the Points were actually enough, but Bai Ling was planning to secretly exchange for the Advanced Cultivation Technique when they weren’t paying attention, and keep it for himself.
The moment this possibility crossed his mind, Chi Tree’s gaze towards Bai Ling changed, his lips pressed even tighter, other crafty thoughts beginning to surface in his heart.
On the other hand, Su Tang, upon hearing Bai Ling’s words, had a grin spreading almost to the back of her head.
She knew it!
Their six people only had a total of 1000 Points, how could Bai Ling’s five people possibly have enough?
What a needless scare!
But now, Bai Ling was clinging to that golden Light Shield without letting go.
If they knew that she had not only enough Points but also knew the answer to the question, they would definitely not let go of the Light Shield.
So what should she do now?
Su Tang furrowed her brow, caught in a dilemma.
But as the heroine, she needed to have the heroine’s halo!
So the author had Ba Bao jump out and say cheerfully,
"To prevent competitors from maliciously occupying artifacts and blocking others from exchanging, the Points Exchange Cabin hereby stipulates—
If a competitor touches the Light Shield for the duration of ’one stick of incense’ without solving and exchanging, it will be regarded as malicious occupation. Competitors found to be maliciously occupying artifacts will be punished with a ban on exchanges, and serious offenders will be disqualified from the Wood Immortal Mansion inheritance selection.
Please be informed, competitors!"
Hearing these words.
Bai Ling let go as if shocked by electricity.
It was as if what she had just been clinging to in her arms wasn’t the Practice Method she yearned for, but some kind of poisonous bomb.
