The Great Thief - Chapter 488

Chapter 488

"Do you want anything else? You… you will need to feed this Kodo . I have a dozen exquisite types of fodder . I’ll sell them to you for 1 gold per bundle . How about 100 bundles?" the old Tauren asked as he stared greedily at the remaining 150 pieces of gold .

This damned calf was rich .

It would be better for the old Tauren to keep the gold, just in case the calf lost it to some foreigners and made them richer .

"How about you sell another Kodo to me?" Lu Li had taken out 300 gold with this intention .

There was a kind of player in Dawn called a Mount Manic . They occurred in varying degrees, and they wouldn’t be satisfied with a single mode of transport . They would collect a variety of mounts, even those that were only slightly different in color .

In fact, most players had such a tendency, but then again, most players also had the mental control to ignore it .

Water Fairy was one of Dawn’s most infamous Mount Maniacs . In his previous life, Lu Li remembered that the woman had collected more than 200 various types of mounts . Some of those mounts were individually worth thousands of gold .

If Lu Li sent her a Kodo…

Then perhaps, they could come together passionately…

Just kidding – Lu Li never thought about stuff like that . His brain was thinking about all the gold he could earn . Selling the 150 gold Kodo to her for 1500 gold wasn’t impossible .

"No . That is uncustomary . "

The Old Tauren was confused; even he didn’t know why it was uncustomary .

"How about this: we’ll pretend you sold it to my Druid pet . That should be fine, right? No one will know anyway . You can just say one of them died . " Hachi Chan shook her head as Lu Li said this .

"I want to die…" Hachi Chan was so ashamed that she just wanted it to be over .

Damned Lu Li . We’ll settle this when we get back . If you don’t pay me back for this, I’ll tell Remnant Dream .

The Old Tauren thought for a moment before getting out another poker . Lu Li had deliberately selected a pure white Kodo; it didn’t have any colour on its body at all .

The Old Tauren chuckled to himself as he thought about how the fool was buying a sick Kodo . He could already imagine Lu Li riding this white Kodo through the woods, and how striking he would be . He would then get shot down by a Centaur . It was just unfortunate that few creatures could eat these Kodos, even if they were killed .

Lu Li paid for the beasts with one hand and took the saddles with the other .

He suppressed the temptation to run away and slowly left the area . He didn’t know why, but he felt the surrounding Tauren eyes watching him, which made him feel guilty .

He knew that he didn’t have much time left . The moment the Old Tauren checked the dragon egg cabinet, he would find that the dragon egg had disappeared .

Perhaps the Old Tauren would have already discovered this, if he deposited his gold coins in that cabinet .

"Hey, kid, come here . " They were almost out of the compound when they ran into Sentry B again . Lu Li didn’t know if he should laugh or cry as he turned around to see the sentry smiling arrogantly at him .

"What happened?"

"Why haven’t you changed your coat yet?" the Sentry asked with some contempt .

"I… I don’t have any money . " The little Tauren looked a little distressed .

He let out a sigh of relief; they still hadn’t realised . These two sentries were Elites that were at least level 40, so it would be disastrous to fight them .

Hachi Chan spat onto Lu Li’s back . She never knew that her leader was actually an actor and had been deceived by his usual serious nature .

"Haha, sell your pet to us and we’ll give you a lionskin breastplate," one of the sentries tempted Lu Li .

"It won’t be easy for you to fight with her on your back . How about we give you a little bit of gold and you can go buy yourself something nice to eat to make yourself stronger," sentry B said affectionately .

"Uh…" Lu Li didn’t anticipate for them to take an interest in the Druid that he was carrying .

How could he give up Hachi Chan? She was one of his team members and was basically a little sister to him . He normally didn’t mind bullying her, but it was unacceptable to just leave her with a stranger .

"You don’t want to? It’s a dangerous world out there; are you sure you can protect yourself?" one of the sentries threatened .

"She is a Night Elf . If her tribe knows that she has been taken prisoner, the Sentinels will definitely make a move . The arrogant Elves will not care that you are a Warrior of the Stonehorn clan . "

"I have never heard of anyone who could use Tame Beast on a Druid . Just give her to us . "

These two sentries likely saw through Lu Li’s lies and wanted Hachi Chan to themselves . They could secretly sell her to some Goblins . They were not only interested in gold coins but also dealing in slaves .

"You…" Lu Li pulled out his halberd and roared, "You dare covet a gift of the Earth Mother! I want to fight you!"

The faces of the two sentries contorted .

The Tauren were generally considered a gentle race and in-fighting was forbidden, even within Grimtotem .

It was generally assumed that their prey were gifts of the Earth Mother and were their personal property . For that reason, no Tauren should try to contest another’s prey . Disputes were handed over to an elder to decide .

In addition, Tauren were banned from dueling under aged calves .

Lu Li was also worried that it would end really badly if he was exposed .

He was a Thief, so if he used any of his skills, he would return to his normal form . There were no Thieves among the Tauren .

Sentry A and B were secretly angry, but they couldn’t fight him . This was the camp gate, so if there were any scuffles, the others would run over .

The Shaman elder was very graceful; she was old and insisted on the tradition . In order to avoid a scandal, the likely result would be the death of both them and the calf .

Lu Li saw that they weren’t going to fight, so he cautiously retreated and slowly moved away from the camp .

As long as he could get to a safe place, he could channel his recall .

Suddenly, there was some commotion within the camp and Lu Li immediately started running .

Moments later, a javelin pierced the spot he was just standing on and the System prompted him that he had just entered battle .

There was a thunderous sound behind him as the claws of adult Kodos trampled the ground . That sound was followed by an old horn blowing, which meant that the Warriors were going into battle .

"Hide and look for a chance to return to the town . Please listen to me," Lu Li said as he pulled out a dagger and cut the ropes off Hachi Chan .

"I won’t go . " Hachi Chan seemed to understand the gravity of the situation . Given the loud rumbling that they could hear, there was no way they could channel the 30 second recall in time .

"Don’t argue; I’ll lead them away . "

Lu Li patted Hachi Chan’s head and pushed her into some bushes .

He didn’t try to escape . Instead, he ran straight towards the cavalry .

The Kodo cavalry was just about to hit him, but his normal small figure made it such that only a few of them could reach him .

Lu Li then instantly turned into a little golden leopard, and desperately ran in front of the cavalry, letting out a loud, continuous laughter .

Then, there was the sound of a javelin hitting the soil . The Tauren were so powerful that that javelin was an indispensable aid for their cavalry .

Fortunately, his smaller size made it even easier for him to dodge the general throw of a javelin .
