Chapter 53 The strong prey on the weak, the world is so cruel

Half an hour later.

Qin Shan's forehead was covered with sweat, and the daffodil in her hand gradually lost its luster and slowly disappeared.

"My soul power is exhausted, and I can only treat it to this extent for the time being."

Qin Shan's lips were slightly pale, and she looked exhausted.

"It's already very good, thank you, Teacher Qin."

Shui Lanxin and Leng Man carefully felt the physical condition. Neither the internal injuries nor the fractures were completely cured, but at least the ability to move had been restored.

At least she could release her martial spirit again, so she would not be at the mercy of others.

"Leave it to us next!"

Shui Lanxin slowly stood up and looked at the Titan Giant Ape with a little vigilance.

She probably saw the current situation now, especially when she saw Lin Chuan holding Xiao Wu's shoulders tightly, and holding a knife in his other hand, obviously holding a hostage.

Sure enough, the situation was not as easy as it seemed on the surface.

"Xiaochuan, let's leave the Xingdou Great Forest first!"

There was a 100,000-year-old soul beast watching closely not far away. Shui Lanxin didn't feel safe at all. This kind of tension and fear had not been experienced for a long time.

No matter how tempting a 100,000-year-old soul beast is, you have to be alive to enjoy it.

"Don't worry, Dean Shui, we haven't achieved the purpose of this trip yet. It's impossible for us to leave in disgrace after suffering a crime and failing to accomplish anything?"

Lin Chuan shook his head gently, not intending to leave now.

Shui Lanxin's face suddenly changed, "But Director Leng and I are now injured, and our combat effectiveness has also been affected. If we encounter a situation, it is easy to fall into danger again, not to mention..."

She paused and glanced at Xiao Wu and the Titan Giant Ape.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was very clear.

"It's okay, you don't need to take action with Director Leng, isn't there a ready-made strong man there?"

Lin Chuan pointed his mouth in the direction of the Titan Giant Ape.

Are you crazy? !

Shui Lanxin and Leng Man fell silent almost at the same time, and this sentence popped up in their hearts.

Even if the Titan Giant Ape didn't take action, its momentum was quite terrifying. It was not easy to hold the hostage and make it compromise temporarily, but you still want it to help hunt soul beasts.

Don't want to die!

Lin Chuan obviously saw what the others were thinking, but he didn't think there was anything wrong.

Let's try, what if it works?

And it's troublesome to run back and forth, isn't it?

"Well, Er Ming, right? Help us find a ten thousand year soul beast. After I absorb the soul 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.

"Don't get excited, let's discuss it first. Let's talk about reason first."

Lin Chuan blocked 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 a little mad and did not directly attack, Lin Chuan continued to speak, "We were just passing by, and we were attacked by you and the Azure Bull Python, and our Director Leng was also seriously injured by you. It is impossible to get away so easily. As compensation, it should not be too much to ask you to help hunt a ten thousand year soul beast?"

"No!"

The Titan Ape roared, shaking his head like a rattle.

"Don't be so stingy. Anyway, I only want the soul ring. You can take the soul beast corpse back to eat. It's killing two birds with one stone. Anyway, it won't be wasted."

Lin Chuan still didn't give up and continued to fool him.

However, the Titan Ape kept shaking his head and refused to agree.

"The worst case scenario is that both sides will die," Lin Chuan said, and put the Night Shadow Knife on Xiao Wu's neck again, holding his neck stiff, making a tough attitude.

"Despicable human!"

The Titan Ape was immediately furious, and his hair stood up, and the sense of oppression instantly doubled.

Shui Lanxin and the other two standing by were nervous and frightened.

The situation was deadlocked again.

"Okay, okay, if you don't agree, forget it."

In the end, Lin Chuan was the first to lose. It was indeed 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!"

Hearing this, Shui Lanxin and the other two breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Facing a 100,000-year-old soul beast, the pressure is really too great!

"Xiao Chuan, I have always wanted to ask, why didn't you attack me at the beginning?" The Titan Giant Ape opened the way in front, and Xiao Wu took the opportunity to ask.

This question has been in her heart for several years, and now she can finally speak it out.

"Is this important?" Lin Chuan asked back without comment.

Xiao Wu nodded vigorously, "It's very important!"

Looking at the girl's determined eyes, Lin Chuan retreated immediately, "The reason is very simple, your soul ring is not compatible with my martial soul, and I can't absorb it. As for the soul bone, to be honest, I am really tempted, but it would be a waste."

"In fact, my original plan was to wait until level 90, but now it seems a little difficult."

Xiao Wu didn't seem to be surprised, but frowned deeply.

"Do we have to kill soul beasts? Can't humans and soul beasts coexist peacefully?"

As soon as this was said, Shui Lanxin and the other two looked at Xiao Wu at the same time.

They never thought that someone would say such naive words.

"Of course it's impossible. 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 make no mistakes and coexist peacefully?"

Xiao Wu suddenly raised her head and spoke a little hastily.

Lin Chuan turned his head and looked at her calmly, "The Star Dou 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 the soul master is obviously more powerful, he confines the soul beasts in the forest. To put it bluntly, it is called captive breeding. But if you don't do this and just sit back and watch the soul beasts grow stronger, then the relationship will probably be reversed. , thus becoming human beings who are in danger under the attack of spirit beasts."

"Soul masters can speed up their cultivation by eating soul beast meat. Soul beasts that eat humans and soul masters can also increase their cultivation, survive and evolve. This is the fundamental contradiction."

"Whether humans hunt soul beasts, or soul beasts devour humans, there is nothing wrong on either side. It's just that they are different races and have different positions. The weak prey on the strong. This is how the world is, and 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's wrong with the soul beast? Should we die?"

Lin Chuan chuckled and slowly shook his head.

"Soul beasts are right, and not all soul beasts deserve to die. Unfortunately, in a dark place, beauty itself is wrong, and the weak prey on the strong. The reality is so cruel."
