Chapter 1556 A Simple Truth
The small town of Tunfang, three hundred miles outside Luli City, is considered the most prosperous human stronghold around Luli City.
It is said to be a stronghold because this is not a place where humans live. In the era of confrontation with demons, this place was considered a frontier position for both commercial and military purposes.
After all, whether they are monsters or demons, they all have something valuable on them. Battles often occur in frontier positions like this, and those small businessmen with certain self-protection capabilities will stay here until the army clears out the demons. , they will come over to pick up some leftover bits and pieces to sell after the army or sect has cleared the battlefield.
Speaking of which, the name commerce is also what those small businessmen call themselves. To put it bluntly, or more realistically, it should be called rag picking.
But don’t underestimate rag picking. Many small businessmen got their first pot of gold by relying on this, and lived a life that many ordinary people would envy.
But since the rise of the Xindao Sect, the business here has gradually declined. After all, there has been no fighting in this type of frontier position for a long time.
Of course, these small businessmen will not sit still and wait for death. Occasionally they will do some reselling work, or recruit a group of Body Tempering Realm warriors to enter the surrounding monster areas to look for any scattered or lone cubs. If they can be caught One piece is enough for ten people to eat for half a year.
Now there are many warriors and businessmen on the streets in the town, in groups of three or two, some are about to go out, and some have just returned.
Some of those who came back were cursing and complaining about their bad luck in not finding the cubs.
Some of them were full of smiles and arranged to go to the largest restaurant in the town to have fun together, because they were holding one or two cubs that made the businessmen jealous.
But they didn't notice that in this small town full of businessmen and low-level warriors, there were four beings standing just beyond their reach.
It was Wang Dao and others dressed in black and wearing black masks.
In addition to Wang Dao, Lian Ting and Wang Lian, there is also Li Shaofeng.
At this time, like Wang Dao and the others, he was wearing black clothes and a black mask, covering half of his face.
However, dressing up like this did not attract anyone's attention in the town, because not only were they hiding their identities in the town, there were also many people who had various ways to hide themselves.
This kind of thing is very common in such a small town. Everyone is a small person with low strength, insufficient power and low status. If you really get rich and make people jealous, they will kill you when the moon is dark and the wind is high. No one is going to avenge you.
So here, everyone protects themselves very well, and there is no trust issue.
"Shaofeng, have you ever been to a place like this?" Lian Ting asked Li Shaofeng beside her while walking on the street.
"Reporting to my uncle, I have been here several times. When I was about six or seven years old, my father brought me here for the first time, hoping to familiarize me with blood and killing." Li Shaofeng replied
"It's really hard work. You have to come to a place like this when you are six or seven years old." Lian Ting smiled bitterly and shook her head. Although a warrior's life is indeed full of blood and violence, six or seven years old is indeed a bit early.
Of course, for the average person, yes.
"How did you feel at that time?" Lian Ting asked again
"I'm a little scared. It was the first time I saw a monster. I was scared, even to death." Li Shaofeng answered honestly.
Lian Ting nodded and said with a smile, "What now?"
"Now?" Li Shaofeng glanced at Lian Ting in confusion. He didn't quite understand what Lian Ting was asking. It had been so many years and he had killed a lot of monsters and demons. How could he still be afraid of something?
Wang Lian smiled softly and said, "Uncle, I'm asking you if you think these cubs are pitiful."
Li Shaofeng glanced at Wang Lian in confusion, then turned to look at the warrior in front of him who was smiling brightly and holding the cub. Looking at the ferocious face, Li Shaofeng asked curiously, "Why do you feel pitiful?"
"Pfft!" Wang Dao couldn't help but laugh, stretched out his hand and knocked Wang Lian's little head, and said with a smile, "Silly boy, your example is too bad, isn't it? This beast is so far away from the beast, even if it is a cub. Who can pity the one who has an abominable appearance?”
Wang Lian stuck out his tongue playfully and said with a smile, "That's right. I forgot that there are no confusing monsters here."
Li Shaofeng looked at the three of them with confusion, not understanding what they were talking about.
Wang Dao reached out and patted Li Shaofeng on the head, and said with a smile, "Shaofeng, your senior brother wants to warn you, don't feel pity for the monster just because it is a cub, and think that we are bullying."
"I have been to this kind of small town several times. Since the monster beasts were driven away and became farther and farther away from the crowd, there were only some cubs left in the former gathering places of monster beasts that could not leave in time. So many small towns like this, They all capture young animals to make a living.”
"Some of the cubs are very cute and beautiful. After being caught, they will be frightened, tremble, and beg with their big innocent eyes."
"There are many people who will be soft-hearted and let it go, especially young people like you. They will even blame those businessmen for being soft-hearted. He hopes that you will not become that person."
It has to be said that no matter which world there are, there are holy bitches, especially after the demons are weakened, there are more and more holy bitches. After everyone no longer worries about survival, love begins to overflow.
Wang Dao has seen it a lot, and every time he feels angry, he is too lazy to say anything. After all, he doesn't care about his own business.
But he didn't want his apprentice to become like this.
Wang Lian is quite good. Although Wang Dao has never taught him, he has figured it out on his own based on his experiences in the past few years, and he doesn't need to worry about Wang Dao.
Then I gave Li Shaofeng a warning and asked him to be prepared.
But Wang Dao was obviously overly worried.
Li Shaofeng frowned slightly, with a hint of disgust and anger in his eyes.
"Master, why do some people think so? Don't they know how many lives the monsters have taken away from us? How many ancestors have died in misfortune?"
"Don't you know how difficult and difficult it is to be in today's situation?"
"Although the cubs are ignorant and have never done anything to harm the human race, as long as they are harmful to the human race, they will definitely harm the human race when they grow up. Moreover, the more beautiful the monster, the more powerful and insidious it is."
"Do they still want such monsters to grow up and continue to slaughter our human race? They are betraying the human race!"
Listening to Li Shaofeng's indignant voice, Wang Dao smiled with satisfaction, and then asked, "What would you do if it were you? You must know that there are not only harmful monsters on Shifang Continent, but also monsters sent by relatives. Beast, how do you tell the difference?”
Li Shaofeng was stunned for a moment, glanced at Wang Dao with some guilt, and asked, "All the monsters from the Relatives sect must have been...recruited by the Xundao Sect, right?"
This brat, indeed, knew it and had some brains.
Wang Dao smiled secretly, and continued to ask, "Xun Dao Sect has not recruited every demon beast from the relatives sect. There are also many scattered outside. Not to mention those sporadic ones, even the ethnic groups may not all follow the Xun Dao Sect." Alliance, if you encounter them in the future, how will you tell them apart? Should we kill them together?"
Li Shaofeng lowered his head and began to think deeply. Apparently he hadn't thought about this issue yet. Not everyone could see the monsters from the relatives sect. He had no experience, so naturally he didn't know how to distinguish them.
In fact, not to mention him, even Wang Dao himself can't tell the difference. Although the IQ of monsters is not as good as that of humans, there are some exceptions. If you encounter someone who can speak, Wang Dao will not be able to tell the difference.
But it doesn't matter. Wang Dao said this not to let Li Shaofeng distinguish between good and bad monsters. He wanted Li Shaofeng to understand a truth, a simple truth.
"Master, how should we tell the difference?" Li Shaofeng gave up and looked at Wang Dao curiously.
Wang Dao smiled slightly, touched Li Shaofeng's head, and said, "With absolute strength, you don't need to distinguish. Kill those who are hostile. If you are not hostile, even if I lie to you, I will not dare to take action against you!"
