After repairing the damaged house, Ling remembered what Chen Xin had said earlier, so she followed him to the place where they had discussed matters.
Everyone sat down one by one, and Chen Xin began his narration:
But what he recounted was the past of the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts.
...
It turns out that in ancient times, the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts was a paradise for monsters.
At that time, monsters and ordinary wild animals lived together.
They fought and devoured each other, and even had a civil war.
However, as time went by, different levels and territories gradually emerged among the monsters.
Over time, many powerful monsters were born.
Those monsters come in all sorts of attributes, such as wood, fire, earth, lightning, and so on.
Monsters possessing elemental power are naturally different from ordinary monsters; their combat strength alone far surpasses that of ordinary monsters.
The presence of any monster brings disaster to the entire region, but it also brings immense wealth.
These monsters are not only powerful, but their bodies are also valuable treasures. They are huge and have tough flesh, which can be used to refine artifacts, make magical treasures, weapons, armor and so on.
The number of monsters is increasing, and their intelligence is also increasing. There are even some monsters with exceptional intelligence who can understand various languages and possess powerful bodies. These monsters are known as the King of Beasts.
The King of Beasts is an extremely sacred being among the demon beasts. It rules over a region and controls the life and death of all demon beasts.
They are the most noble bloodline among the demon beast races, and also the most powerful.
Once the King of Beasts rules over a region, he will immediately summon the other tribes.
They will lead the monsters in war, and in order to achieve victory, the King of Beasts will launch attacks and destroy those enemies who dare to challenge their authority.
Over time, battles in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts became more and more frequent, and before they knew it, the fighting had spread to the outside world.
Outside, however, lies the human world.
The emergence of humankind changed their habits.
In the eyes of these monsters, humans are weak and can be easily killed.
However, here, humans have their own lives and possess sufficient resources and materials, which threatens the rule of the Beast King and may even lead to its loss.
This forced the Beast King to send powerful monsters to hunt down humans in hopes of stopping their rise.
But this also makes their rule more difficult...
At that time, the conflict between the demon race and humans had escalated.
Because of the large human population and the fact that the demon beasts could not completely control the entire continent, they had no choice but to send a group of powerful demon beasts to form an alliance, preparing to exterminate humanity and seize its wealth.
But at the same time, humanity began to fight back.
They also have their own pride and dignity.
Human intelligence and lineage gradually improved, eventually leading to the formation of a powerful civilization.
As human civilization grew stronger, it further enraged the powerful monsters, leading to large-scale battles between humans and monsters.
The battle between humans and monsters was like a war in the wilderness.
At first, the monsters only saw humans as prey, but as the battle intensified, the monsters gradually fell into chaos.
At this moment, it seemed that humans had found the weakness of the monsters and defeated them time and time again.
With each victory in battle, the hatred between humans and monsters deepened, eventually reaching a point of no return.
The battle between humans and monsters has evolved from initial probing engagements into a full-scale war.
In this war, the monsters suffered heavy casualties, with countless high-level monsters perishing.
Naturally, humanity also suffered enormous losses. The strongest humans were either dead or severely wounded…
Ultimately, it is said that a powerful being intervened and resolved this battle that was supposed to last for a thousand years.
At the same time, the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts also completely disappeared from human territory.
Nobody knows what happened...
But humanity knows that all of this is related to that powerful being, but who exactly is this powerful being? And who is he?
These are things that humans cannot know.
Because they have absolutely no access to those super beings hidden behind the scenes, and they don't even know their names...
After the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts disappeared, order was restored to human territory, and people continued to prosper.
"So now you know why I was surprised after hearing your story, right?"
Chen Xin took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and spoke to Ling.
Zero nodded and echoed:
"No wonder... The Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts had completely disappeared from human sight, but now it has reappeared. Perhaps another epic war will break out..."
Chen Xin nodded:
"And in the matter you mentioned, it seems a Dragon King was also involved..."
“That’s right, but it’s not surprising that there’s a Dragon King in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts…”
Ling continued Chenxin's words.
"But don't you find it strange?"
Chen Xin frowned and looked at Ling.
"What's the meaning?"
Zero doubts.
"It's undeniable that the monsters and humans in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts are at odds. However, in that incident, those humans who ventured into the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts not only returned safely but also encountered the Dragon King. The thing is, it was the Dragon King who brought them back!"
"But they have also passed the Dragon King's test..."
"A test? Don't you think there's something fishy about this?"
"How so?"
"Logically speaking, those things, just from their names, should be extremely rare and precious, right?"
That's true.
"If you think about it carefully, you'll find something very wrong! Because, in the end, they didn't really encounter any difficulties in collecting those items. Sometimes, they even had 'guides' or hints that appeared..."
Now that you mention it, it does seem to be true...
Zero seemed to have thought of something as well, frowned, and fell silent.
"On the surface, it seems that they are undergoing a test and experiencing hardships along the way, but in reality, the Dragon King, for example, appeared many times during their test... and the places they went to according to the map were extremely dangerous and life-threatening, but they always managed to turn danger into safety without even realizing it."
"Including those monsters that appeared, even though we could have killed them directly, we didn't do it ourselves. Instead, we led them step by step to a certain place..."
"At the same time, there will definitely be some opportunities or hints in those places."
"I don't believe that no one was manipulating all of this behind the scenes."
Chen Xin voiced all her doubts.
"You're right. If it's just good luck, then they can't always escape danger."
