The Black Donkey eventually coughed up the truth; it had no treasure-seeking abilities but rather a strong instinct for detecting powerful creatures.
In the Pingtian Mountain Range, it had managed to obtain so many Spirit Herbs because it first located the Demon Beasts guarding them and then swindled, deceived, and stole them away. In other words, Zhou Heng had been eating dirty things for three whole months!
The Demon Beasts were easy to fool, and humans were easy to trick; Zhu Zhihe and his group treated the Black Donkey as if it were a divine creature that had descended from heaven, almost losing their trousers to its deceit. It showed that the Black Donkey was indeed very capable. If Zhou Heng hadn't seen through its true nature from the start, even he might have been duped.
After all, a talking donkey was truly shocking, and it was practically impossible not to be treated as a creature of heaven and earth.
