Although Xiao Chen's tone was very calm, when it fell in Wang Pingbei's ears, it made him feel chilly in his heart.
He could feel the suppressed anger beneath Xiao Chen's calm tone.
"Since I have known about Tianwaitian, I have never heard of anyone from the ancient martial arts world having any idea of Tianwaitian..."
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and said calmly.
"And what about Tianwaitian? They are full of superiority in their bones and look down on people from the Mother Realm... In your eyes, people from the Mother Realm are not humans, but slaves, livestock, and even ants."
"..."
Wang Pingbei remained silent, because...this is a fact.
Even he thought so in his heart.
"These ants should kneel on the ground and wait respectfully for your arrival. They dare not have any opinions. Whatever you say will be whatever it is."
Xiao Chen's tone was more calm, as if he was telling someone else's story.
"Even our life and death must be decided by you... You are the gods above, and we are the ants in the soil."
"No……"
"There's nothing hard to admit, that's what Tianwaitian does."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"You kill people all over the house at every turn, but you still want us to obey your words? I want to live on my feet, I want to be equal to you, I want to have freedom, but I hate you?"
"If... I mean if, if the people in the Mother Realm are stronger, you will definitely want to conquer a place like Tianwaitian when you learn about it."
Wang Pingbei looked at Xiao Chen and mustered up his courage.
"You can't blame Heaven for this, human nature is like this."
"You're right. I never blamed Tianwaitian for wanting to conquer the Mother Realm. It's just that as a person from the Mother Realm, I have to fight."
Xiao Chen nodded. In the history of mankind, things such as massacre of indigenous people and land grabbing have happened frequently.
He didn't want to stand on the moral high ground and condemn Tianwaitian. If he thought about it from his perspective, if the ancient martial arts world was strong and Tianwai Tian was weak, then there would be many people in the ancient martial arts world who wanted to conquer Tianwaitian.
Even he doesn't dare to say nothing, not to conquer, but he still has to go around and see if there are any good things and think about taking them for himself.
This is human nature.
Otherwise, where would the invasion come from?
Otherwise, where would the war come from?
But now, the ancient martial arts world is weak, and Tianwaitian wants to come, return, and enslave...
As a person from the Mother Realm, he is unwilling to kneel down and must fight to the end.
There is no moral high ground. This thing ranks second to 'fists'.
Since ancient times, whoever has the strongest fist has the final say.
It was before, it is now, and it will be in the future.
"I don't blame Tianwaitian, so why do you ask me why I am hostile to Tianwaitian?"
Xiao Chen looked at Wang Pingbei again, his eyes cold.
"You come and you kill people. I shouldn't be hostile, but I should be groveling and stretching my neck, waiting for you to kill me?"
"There are...some people who are very friendly to the Mother Realm."
Wang Pingbei said weakly.
"Well, for example, Lin Yue, I get along very well with him."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"We in China have a saying, 'When friends come, bring good wine; when enemies come, bring shotguns.' Do you understand? My attitude depends on your attitude."
"Then...if I am not hostile to the mother world, can we be friends?"
Wang Pingbei looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Be friends? Haha."
Xiao Chen was happy when he heard Wang Pingbei's words.
"You have such a beautiful idea. Now that you are my prisoner, you just want to be my friend?"
"..."
Wang Pingbei remained silent.
"As long as you behave well, I will definitely not kill you and will detoxify you... As for whether we can be friends, it depends on you."
Xiao Chen looked at him and said.
"However, you must hate me in your heart, right? You say we are friends, but you are doing it for your own life."
"Yes, but you saved me just now... If it weren't for you, the second uncle would really kill me."
Wang Pingbei shook his head and said.
"You wanted to kill me, but you saved me...so, I don't hate you too much now."
"hehe."
Xiao Chen smiled, just listen to this, don't take it seriously.
"Xiao Chen, I have a suggestion... We should go to Tianwaitian immediately. There are many opportunities there. If you go, you will not be disappointed."
Wang Pingbei looked at Xiao Chen and said in a more serious tone.
"Haha, are you afraid of dying in Tian Jueyuan?"
Xiao Chen smiled playfully.
"You are really greedy for life and afraid of death. You are very similar to a friend of mine."
"I am greedy for life and afraid of death, but can I also become your friend?"
Wang Pingbei was a little surprised.
"certainly."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"It is human nature to be greedy for life and afraid of death. Everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death, and I am the same... However, sometimes, some things have to transcend life and death."
"what?"
Wang Pingbei frowned. In his opinion, staying alive is the most important thing.
"Many, such as friendship, such as faith..."
Xiao Chen thought for a while and said.
"My friend is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he can risk his life for the people around him... This shows that in his heart, friendship is more important than life, and he is willing to pay the price of his life for this friendship."
"Friendship..."
Wang Pingbei repeated these two words. Does he have any friends for whom he would give his life?
No.
"Before, you were able to save your junior brother, which shows that your relationship is still okay."
Xiao Chen thought of something and said.
"Because the two of us have a greater chance of survival, I will not trade my life for his, even if we are on good terms."
Wang Pingbei said honestly.
"Do you have a wife?"
Xiao Chen looked at Wang Pingbei and asked again.
"If she is in danger, are you willing to sacrifice your life to save her? If you are willing, then no matter how greedy you are, you are still a man worth trusting to her."
"No."
Wang Pingbei shook his head.
"I don't think I would give my life for a woman."
"No, you don't have a wife, do you have a girlfriend?"
Xiao Chen asked curiously.
"Do you have any women in Qingyun Tower?"
"Yes, many junior sisters and I...are very good."
Wangping North Road.
"Everything is good? How...good?"
The fire of gossip ignited in Xiao Chen's heart, senior brother and junior sister? Is Qingyun Tower so chaotic?
"Just...just like you imagined."
Wang Pingbei felt a little proud when he said this.
"After all, I am one of the top ten geniuses in Qingyun Tower, and I have attracted the admiration of many junior sisters."
"..."
Xiao Chen understood, at the same time he despised...why he was also a little envious.
What a great atmosphere!
This is much better than school.
"I also like some junior sisters..."
Wang Pingbei said again.
"Do you like them? You covet their bodies!"
Xiao Chen curled his lips.
"I thought you were quite honest at first, but I didn't expect you to be a Neptune."
"Neptune? What do you mean?"
Wang Pingbei was confused.
"nothing."
Xiao Chen shook his head, looked at a tree in front of him, and paused slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Xiao Chen stop, Wang Pingbei asked.
"Did you see that tree? It was broken, and the broken part is new..."
Xiao Chen pointed to the wrist-thick tree in front of him and said.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Wang Pingbei suddenly became nervous: "Is there anyone?"
"It's not necessarily a human being, it could be a strange animal."
Xiao Chen said, looking at him.
"Don't be so nervous. Let's go and have a look."
"Will there be any danger?"
Wang Pingbei's expression changed.
"What kind of place is this? Tian Jueyuan... do you think there is no danger?"
Xiao Chen said as he walked towards the broken tree.
Wang Pingbei followed quickly. Even if there was danger, it would be safer to follow Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was also paying attention to the reaction of the spiritual roots of heaven and earth. This little guy was sitting on his shoulders, swinging his legs, swaying very leisurely.
This is the reason why he is not nervous, otherwise he would have to become nervous.
When he came to the broken tree, Xiao Chen looked at it carefully and quickly judged that it was not cut off by a weapon.
The breaks are uneven, more like it was broken by something.
"Xiao Chen, look here..."
Suddenly, Wang Pingbei pointed to the grass next to him and shouted.
"There are traces here too."
"It's a snake."
Xiao Chen looked over and made a guess.
The snake climbed on the tree, maybe because it was too heavy, it broke the tree, and then left from the grass.
He was not surprised that there were snakes. There were plenty of snakes and rats in the grass in the wild.
The snakes in No Man's Land and Tianjue Abyss are unusual. They can be said to be exotic beasts. It is normal for them to be slightly larger in size.
After confirming that it was a snake, Xiao Chen didn't care anymore. It was too ordinary.
As long as it doesn't harm him, he will not follow the traces to find the snake and kill it.
"snake……"
Wang Pingbei looked at the marks on the grass, thought of something, and turned pale.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Chen looked at Wang Pingbei's face and felt a little strange.
"We...we have to leave quickly. This is most likely a snake cave, one of the forbidden areas of death."
Wang Pingbei's voice was trembling.
"Snake Cave?"
Xiao Chen was stunned.
"What is this place?"
"A place with many snakes is also one of the forbidden areas of death. I have heard of it before..."
Wang Pingbei said, looking around nervously.
"That's not true, is it? Are you a little bit dissatisfied?"
Xiao Chen frowned.
"Even if there is such a place, it's not like we saw a snake. No, we didn't even see the shadow of the snake, just a trace. Are you so scared? It's not normal to have a snake in a place like this.
Is it done?”
"I...I'm just a little scared."
Hearing what Xiao Chen said, Wang Pingbei felt a little at ease. He looked around again, and there seemed to be no sign of the snake.
"What place is the Snake Cave? Do you know it? Tell me everything you have heard about it."
Xiao Chen looked at Wang Pingbei and said.
"At this time, you and I are one. The more I understand, the more likely we are to get out of here alive."
"I know, I just heard that there is such a place, it may not be true."
Wang Pingbei shook his head.
"How can I still have any thoughts at this time... There are many legends about Tian Jueyuan. It is difficult to distinguish between true and false. The legend of Snake Cave is one of them."
"Tell me, being idle is also idle..."
Xiao Chen lit a cigarette and continued walking forward.
Suddenly, he stopped and looked ahead, the cigarette in his mouth trembling slightly.
