Chapter 394 Survival of the Fittest
Wang Yue was used to the dilapidated state of the place, while Qin Luo and Wu Hua were somewhat surprised.
How can I describe it? It's not only dilapidated but also small; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's overcrowded.
They were struggling to move an inch, dragging along donkey-hide gelatin and a dead horse.
Wang Yue told Qin Luo and Wu Hua to sit on the donkey cart, while he led the donkey-hide gelatin and the dead horse.
The two obediently got into the donkey cart, and he tied the dead horse to the side of the cart.
Holding the donkey-hide gelatin in one hand, and carrying a long knife on his shoulder in the other.
He strode forward arrogantly, and Dead Horse was just like him.
If anyone gets too close, it will kick them.
The person who was kicked, seeing Wang Yue's size, didn't dare to argue.
There are hardly any good people here; it's a no-man's-land.
The death of a person is treated like the death of a mouse; nobody cares.
If you're lucky, your companions might pick you up and leave you with a whole body; if you're unlucky, the Blood Eater will take you and you won't even have a skin left.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua sat on the donkey cart, sighing and complaining.
"Sigh! I wonder how the mountain spider is doing!"
Qin Luo raised her hand and smoothed out Wu Hua's furrowed brows.
"Don't you beasts believe in fate the most? The mountain spider will definitely meet its destined partner, whether it's good or bad, it's all preordained. We just need to do our best and leave the rest to fate!"
"I know, but I still can't help worrying. If it weren't for the sudden catastrophe in the beast realm, they wouldn't be in such a terrible state..."
A book she had read before suddenly flashed through Qin Luo's mind, and she comforted it by squeezing its chubby little hand.
"Perhaps this is not a catastrophe, but a trial?"
"Trials?"
"That's right! Beasts have been living peacefully in the beast realm for many years now! Much of their beastly nature has been extinguished. You may be very powerful in the human realm, but when facing beasts of the same generation, aren't you much weaker than the previous generation, or even the generations before that?"
Wu Hua thought carefully and only remembered that it was inside the protective shield before it was born.
I often heard the old clan elder say...
"We, the offspring of the Kang clan, are getting weaker and weaker. Back then, I, a single beast, could fill the granaries of the beast realm with food. Now, several of the younger generation are working themselves to the bone just to keep the clan from starving. What are we going to do if this continues!"
It grabbed Qin Luo's hand as if it had grasped a glimmer of hope.
"Luo Luo, how do you know the little beast is getting weaker than the old beast? And what about that trial? Is it real?"
Seeing its unusual seriousness, Qin Luo also dropped her nonchalant attitude.
Tell it the knowledge you learned before the end times.
"I don't know if the trial is real or not; that's just my guess. But if the beasts really are getting weaker and weaker, then I might actually be right!"
"How so?"
"I've heard my teacher say before that there's natural selection and survival of the fittest! In the long river of biological evolution, various organisms constantly adapt to the environment and evolve features that are better suited for survival. But over time, life becomes comfortable, and all the features will slowly degenerate. Eventually, they will return to their original state!"
"And then? What will happen?"
"Then, in order to prevent their offspring from reverting to their original form, the realm lord, or even a higher-ranking deity, will initiate trials upon them..."
Wu Hua's little head was buzzing. She even began to suspect that all of this was a conspiracy between the Heavenly Dao and the Realm Lord.
"Is the disappearance of the beast realm a lie?"
Qin Luo thought through everything that had happened between her and Wu Hua from the beginning until now, and then decisively denied it.
"It doesn't seem like a fake. Logically speaking, if it were truly a trial by the Heavenly Dao and the Realm Lord, then testing you juniors would be sufficient! It's impossible to send down pregnant beasts like the Yu Bird and the Wenling. That would be harming the offspring of beasts, and the Heavenly Dao wouldn't allow high-dimensional beings to leave behind karma in the human realm..."
After listening to her analysis, Wu Hua gradually calmed down.
"So that means the Realm Lord was unaware of this, and it was a higher-level deity randomly training us?"
Qin Luo couldn't quite explain what had happened either.
"We can't be sure right now whether it's a cycle of time and space or a trial by the gods. We'll only know once we return from the Beast Realm. Don't worry, if it really is a trial, the most important thing is to do what's in front of us!"
After she finished speaking, Qin Luo's words suddenly popped into Wu Hua's mind: Don't worry about the unknown!
It immediately jumped into Qin Luo's arms and started to act cute.
"Luo Luo, if all of this is a trial, then you must be part of it too! Luckily, you're here with me!"
After he finished speaking, it was Qin Luo's turn to be shocked.
"Am I also part of the trial?"
After saying that, she started brainstorming.
"Could it all have been an illusion all along? There was no apocalypse or time travel at all, and it was all just a trial? My parents are still alive and well?"
Wu Hua was puzzled and placed her small hand on her forehead.
"Luo Luo, you're so hot! Do you have a fever?"
Qin Luo looked at it with a puzzled expression.
"This shouldn't be! I drank so much water from the spatial stream, how could this be..."
Before she could finish speaking, she fainted with a thud.
Wu Hua was startled and at a loss when she saw Qin Luo suddenly collapse on the donkey cart. She didn't understand what had happened to Qin Luo.
"How could I suddenly faint like that?" she cried, looking up at Wang Yue.
"Big Guy, Big Guy Luo Luo has fainted..."
Upon hearing its cry, Wang Yue immediately rushed over.
Qin Luo's face was flushed red, and his forehead was so hot it could boil water.
He quickly helped her up and leaned her against him.
"Little one, where are your pills? Quickly feed her a few!"
Wu Hua hurriedly took out some pills from her bag and stuffed them into Qin Luo's mouth.
Halfway through stuffing it in, it realized it had truly let its concern cloud its judgment.
Why feed it pills? Wouldn't it be faster to just feed it the water from the spatial stream?
It picked up the water pouch, pried open Qin Luo's mouth, and started pouring water into it.
"Luo Luo, drink it quickly, you'll feel better after you finish!"
Qin Luo was still relatively conscious, but she couldn't lift her eyelids no matter what she did.
Hearing Wu Hua sobbing, I felt particularly distressed.
She couldn't say anything now, and could only respond by desperately swallowing.
Wu Hua was relieved to see that she could still drink water.
After Qin Luo finished drinking the water from the water pouch, Wu Hua touched her forehead again.
I was only able to relax completely after the temperature dropped.
Seeing that Qin Luo's complexion had improved, Wang Yue gently laid her down on the donkey cart.
After coaxing Wu Hua a few times, he turned around and continued to lead Ejiao menacingly into the alley where they had encountered the mountain spider.
I figured I'd be passing by on my way to my accommodation, so I might as well stop by and check it out, saving me the trouble of making another trip.
There are inns in the city, but a seasoned merchant like him would never stay there!
Because if you're not careful, you'll be eaten down to the bone!
Wu Hua sat close to Qin Luo the whole time, holding her hand tightly and not daring to let go for a moment.
I was afraid she would be sad if she didn't see me the first thing she did when she woke up.
After being intimidated and verbally abused by Wang Yue, the group finally arrived at the alley after about half an hour…
