53 The strong prey on the weak, the world is so cruelHalf an hour later.
Qin Shan's forehead was covered with sweat, and the daffodils in her hand gradually lost their luster and slowly disappeared.
"My soul power is exhausted. This is the only way to treat it for now."
Qin Shan's lips turned slightly pale and she looked exhausted.
"It's already very good. Thank you, Teacher Qin."
Shui Lanxin and Leng Man carefully felt their physical conditions. Neither the internal injuries nor the fractures were completely healed, but at least their ability to move had been restored.
At least he could release his martial spirit and not be at the mercy of others.
"Leave it to us from now on!"
Shui Lanxin slowly stood up and looked at the Titan Ape with a little vigilance.
She probably already understood the current situation, especially when she saw Lin Chuan holding Xiao Wu's shoulders tightly with a knife in his other hand, obviously taking someone hostage.
Sure enough, the situation was not as easy as it seemed.
"Xiaochuan, let's leave the Xingdou Great Forest first!"
There was a hundred thousand year old soul beast watching closely not far away. Shui Lanxin didn't feel safe at all. She hadn't felt this kind of tension and fear for a long time.
No matter how tempting a hundred thousand year soul beast is, you have to be alive to enjoy it.
"Don't be in a hurry, Dean Shui. We haven't achieved the purpose of this trip yet. It's impossible for us to leave in disgrace after being punished and not accomplishing anything, right?"
Lin Chuan shook his head slightly and had no intention of leaving now.
Shui Lanxin's expression suddenly changed. "But Director Leng and I are injured now, and our combat effectiveness has also been affected. If we encounter any problems, we will easily fall into danger again, not to mention..."
He paused and glanced at Xiao Wu and the Titan Ape.
Although it was not stated explicitly, the meaning was clear.
"It's okay. You don't have to take action with Director Leng. Isn't there a ready-made strong man there?"
Lin Chuan pointed in the direction of the Titan Ape.
Are you crazy?!
Shui Lanxin and Leng Man fell silent almost at the same time, and these words popped up in their minds.
Even though the Titan Ape didn't take action, its aura was quite terrifying. You finally took a hostage and made it compromise temporarily, but you still want it to help you hunt soul beasts.
Don't worry about your life!
Lin Chuan obviously saw what they were thinking, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Just give it a try, what if it succeeds?
Besides, it's troublesome to run back and forth, isn't it?
"Well, Er Ming, right? Help us find a ten thousand year old spirit beast. After I absorb the spirit ring, I will leave immediately and return Xiao Wu to you."
Lin Chuan tried to speak to the Titan Ape.
"roar--"
The Titan Ape roared softly, with a ferocious expression and sharp teeth showing.
"Don't get excited. Let's discuss what's going on. Let's talk about reason first."
Lin Chuan put Xiao Wu in front of him, causing the girl to roll her eyes again.
This guy, I haven't seen him for many years, how come he suddenly became so shameless?
Seeing that the Titan Ape was only slightly irritated and did not attack directly, Lin Chuan continued, "We were just passing by and were attacked by you and the Azure Bull Python. Our Director Leng was also seriously injured by you. It is impossible for us to get away with it so easily. As compensation, it should not be too much to ask you to help hunt a ten thousand year soul beast, right?"
"no!"
The Titan Ape roared and shook his head like a rattle.
"Don't be so stingy. Anyway, I only want the spirit ring. You can take the spirit beast corpse back and eat it. It's killing two birds with one stone. It won't be wasted anyway."
Lin Chuan still didn't give up and continued to fool people.
However, the Titan Ape just kept shaking his head and refused to agree.
"The worst that can happen is a fight to the death," Lin Chuan said as he put the Night Shadow Knife on Xiao Wu's neck again, stiffening his neck with a tough attitude.
"Despicable human!"
The Titan Ape was immediately furious, his hair stood up, and the sense of oppression instantly doubled.
Shui Lanxin and the other two standing by had nervous expressions on their faces, and were terrified.
The situation became deadlocked again.
"Okay, okay, if you don't agree, forget it."
In the end, it was Lin Chuan who was defeated first. It was indeed a little too difficult to rely on soul beasts to help hunt soul beasts, but it was within expectations!
"Dean, Director, Teacher Qin, let's leave first!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Hearing this, Shui Lanxin and the other two all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Facing a hundred thousand year old spirit beast, the pressure was just too great!
"Xiao Chuan, I've always wanted to ask, why didn't you attack me back then?" The Titan Giant Ape led the way ahead, and Xiao Wu took the opportunity to ask.
She had been holding this question in her mind for years, and now she could finally get it out.
"Does this matter?" Lin Chuan asked back without comment.
Xiao Wu nodded vigorously, "It's very important!"
Seeing the determined look in the girl's eyes, Lin Chuan retreated immediately. "The reason is very simple. Your spirit ring is not compatible with my martial spirit, and I can't absorb it. As for the spirit bone, to be honest, I am really tempted, but it would be a waste."
"Actually, my original plan was to wait until I reached level 90, but now it seems a little difficult."
Xiao Wu didn't seem surprised at all, she just frowned deeply.
"Do we have to kill soul beasts? Can't humans and soul beasts coexist peacefully?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Shui Lanxin and the other two looked towards Xiao Wu at the same time.
They never thought that someone would say such naive words.
"Of course not. On the surface, the conflict between humans and soul beasts is just that soul masters need to hunt for soul rings to break through. But even if soul masters don't need soul rings, they will still hunt soul beasts."
"Why can't both sides just stay away from each other and live in peace?"
Xiao Wu raised her head suddenly and spoke hurriedly.
Lin Chuan turned his head and looked at her calmly, "The Xingdou Great Forest is the living area of soul beasts, but can you guarantee that all soul beasts will not leave here and go to the human world?"
"This..." Xiao Wu was speechless for a moment.
Lin Chuan continued, "Now that soul masters are more powerful, they restrict soul beasts to the forest, which is called captivity. But if we don't do this and just sit back and watch the soul beasts grow stronger, the relationship will be reversed, and humans will be in danger of being attacked by soul beasts."
"Soul masters can speed up their cultivation by eating soul beast meat, and soul beasts can also increase their cultivation by eating humans and soul masters. Survival and evolution, this is the fundamental contradiction."
"Whether humans hunt soul beasts or soul beasts eat humans, neither side is wrong. They are just different races and standpoints. The strong prey on the weak. This is how the world is. No one can change it."
Lin Chuan's words deeply hurt Xiao Wu's heart.
The girl wanted to refute, but she had to admit that Lin Chuan was indeed right.
"But what has the soul beast done wrong? Should we die?"
Lin Chuan chuckled and shook his head slowly.
"Soul beasts are not wrong, and not all soul beasts deserve to die. Unfortunately, in the dark place, beauty itself is wrong, the strong prey on the weak, and reality is so cruel."
