In the evening, Ling Xiao finally became as quiet as a good baby. She sat at the meeting table of City Lord Liu Xintang and listened to Liu Xintang talk about the past events.
Due to its special geographical location, Longhai City is within the Soul Barrier. Monsters above the green level cannot rush in, but monsters below the yellow level cannot be stopped.
Monsters are weaker than soul masters and demon soul masters. Most of them only know some basic skills inherited from them, and they are relatively simple.
But the scary thing about monsters is not how strong they are, but the fact that they are numerous and reproduce very quickly.
If the human race wants to cultivate a capable soul master, it will take at least until the child is over twelve years old.
But the demon clan doesn’t need to. They give birth to a child, and in four or five years they can become warriors to attack the human race. Moreover, they do not give birth to children one by one, but in a litter!
With such a speed and base, attacking the human race's city will naturally cause a lot of trouble to the human race.
Moreover, it is now the beginning of winter, and many monsters have the habit of hibernating, so this is the time when the monsters attack most violently.
"Wait!" Ling Xiao interrupted Liu Xintang: "I have a question, why do the monsters attack us?"
Several people stared at Ling Xiao like they were idiots. Even Liu Xintang felt that this question was too inappropriate: "It's very simple. The monsters feed on people. After every attack, they can always plunder people."
The body is then snatched back and stored for the winter.”
Although it sounds disgusting, the four people at this table don't have any obvious expressions. They are obviously either used to it or are determined.
Liu Xintang then explained: "There is another reason, that is, the demon race reproduces too fast, so it is impossible to commit suicide, right? Therefore, launching a war with humans can also solve the problems caused by the rapid reproduction in a certain aspect.
Resource issues.”
"So we fight every year?" Ling Xiao suddenly smiled: "Can't we give them some food every year? Or teach them some breeding and planting techniques to make them self-sufficient."
Shen Xuan, Liu Xintang and Liu Yue were all stunned. They did not expect Ling Xiao to say these words. This was in great conflict with the concept they had long accepted that humans and monsters are incompatible.
They were used to fighting and killing monsters, but they really had never thought of the method Ling Xiao said.
However, Ling Xiao's suggestion was immediately rejected by Liu Yue: "Elder Ling's method seems feasible on the surface, but it must be different if it is not from my race. Even if the demon race accepts our good intentions, when they become stronger
If they get up, they may not be grateful for the benefits we have given them. Once a fight breaks out, we will be completely destroyed."
Liu Xintang also agreed with his son's point of view: "The demon clan is too ferocious and cannot communicate at all. We can't take this risk. Besides, the higher-ups definitely don't agree with us doing this. I can only say, Elder Ling, your thoughts are too
It’s childish.”
Ling Xiao smiled and said nothing.
Monster? Could a monster like Tang Yingying be cruel? Only a ghost would believe it!
When it comes to cruelty, some people are many times more cruel than demons. Why don't you guys go and destroy them?
The so-called ferocity is probably the impression left on both sides on the battlefield. And on the battlefield, aren't people cruel?
Of course, it was impossible for Ling Xiao to say his shocking "anti-humanity" remarks, otherwise they might kill him.
"Okay, okay, I admit, I am a bit naive. All actions are subject to your arrangements, I have no objections." Ling Xiao stretched and yawned: "Go to sleep, go to sleep. I'm so sleepy."
After saying that, Ling Xiao stood up and turned around to leave.
Shen Xuan couldn't laugh or cry, and explained to Liu Xintang: "Uncle Liu, this Elder Ling's temper is a bit weird..."
"Say bad things about me?" Ling Xiao vaguely heard some, but his mind was not on those bad words now, but on Shen Xuan's "Uncle Liu".
What is their relationship? How come Shen Xuan, a little wolf, respects Liu Xintang so much?
When thinking of this, Ling Xiao suddenly felt that even if Liu Xintang seemed very reliable, who knew whether he would plot against her because of his relationship with Shen Xuan?
Liu Xintang must be on guard, this is something Ling Xiao reminded herself before returning to the room.
After returning to the room, Ling Xiao had no time to think about anything else. He was busy refining the soul stone of Hua Que, so how could he have the time to think about other things?
I don't know how long it took, but Ling Xiao felt a little tired, so he stopped the sacrifice, opened the door and went out for a walk.
The autumn night looks chilly, and even the light cast by the incomplete moon makes people feel so bleak and cool.
Ling Xiao walked aimlessly along a path in the city lord's mansion.
I don’t know how long ago, Ling Xiao was thinking about how wonderful life would be if she had the leisurely mood of walking under the moon.
But now that he can finally live this kind of life, Ling Xiao still feels that this kind of life is nothing more than that, and there is no change from before.
Just as his mind was filled with random thoughts, Ling Xiao suddenly heard a whining sound, as if a woman was sobbing.
Ling Xiao paused and took a look, and the sound came from a well in front of him!
In this kind of night, with no one around, these sad cries make people feel chilly in their hearts.
But Ling Xiao has always been bold and curious.
Now that we have discovered the strange phenomenon here, we naturally have to study it thoroughly.
Without hesitation, Ling Xiao jumped into the well.
He was sure that the well was dry, but there was no harm in jumping.
Sure enough, once she fell down the well, Ling Xiao didn't touch any water at all and fell smoothly to the ground at the bottom of the well.
The bottom of the well is another space. Although the entrance is not large, the bottom of the well is very spacious.
Under the dim light, Ling Xiao saw a woman trapped in a small cage.
Her hair was disheveled, covering most of her face, and her clothes were dirty. She looked like a crazy woman ignored on the street.
This woman is young, only twenty-five or six years old at most. She doesn't know why she is being held here.
"Child...my child..." the woman cried and murmured, as if she didn't see Ling Xiao's arrival at all.
Now that he is here, Ling Xiao doesn't care whether he wants to expose someone else's family scandal: "Where is your child? Do you want me to help you find it?"
"Child... child..." As soon as she heard someone mention the child, the woman suddenly went crazy and shook the bars of the iron cage desperately: "Chen Xuan, you bastard! You killed your own child and you said that he It's a monster, you must die a good death!"
"Chen Xuan!" Ling Xiao's heart trembled slightly, and suddenly he remembered the name "Uncle Liu". He seemed to understand something, and smiled slightly: "So that's it."
"It's not polite to casually point fingers at other people's household affairs." Liu Yue's cold voice came from behind Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao didn't look back and said with a smile: "My sister has become like this, how can you still be so polite to that bastard Shen Xuan?"
Liu Yue looked shocked: "What do you know?"
Ling Xiao chuckled twice: "It's nothing more than a story of starting chaos and finally giving up. It's very cliche. It's just that Shen Xuan's methods are more powerful. He put all the fault on Sister Ling and made her crazy. "
The corners of Liu Yue's eyes twitched fiercely: "Sure enough, daddy said not to underestimate you too much."
Ling Xiao turned around and said very rudely: "Thank you, thank you."
Liu Yue gritted his teeth: "However, if you break into other people's forbidden areas, even if you are an elder, you will have to pay the price!"
Without warning, Liu Yue punched Ling Xiao in the chest.
The roaring wind of the fist blew Ling Xiao's clothes tight to her body.
This punch actually used 70% to 80% of Liu Yue's strength!
Faced with Liu Yue's fast and fierce punch, Ling Xiao also gathered enough strength to punch the opponent's punch fiercely.
Bang! Fist to fist, neither of them moved an inch.
However, only they knew that the ground within a few meters of their feet had turned into rubble!
Liu Yue put away his fist and suddenly saluted Ling Xiao: "Elder Ling, I have offended you so much."
