Chapter 37: Ghost Market



Shen Yuan, who saw everything clearly, knew very well that the Zhennan Army blocked the road and evacuated the people not because of the so-called landslide.

Furthermore, if the Zhennan Army could resolve the situation in a short period of time, they would definitely not start a war and would choose to evacuate the residents here. Even if they wait until tomorrow morning, they would still not lift the blockade.

The Maine Coon only remembered that the approximate date of the Dragon King Banquet at Fubo Lake was in the next few days. If he really waited until the blockade was lifted, it would be too late.

Shen Yuan simply left the car and went to Qingzhou alone.

Of course, Shen Yuan did not go to the area blocked by the Zhennan Army, but chose to take a detour through another forest.

Walking into the forest, the Maine Coon, who had been maintaining the illusion, finally breathed a sigh of relief, lifted the spell and restored its huge body.

For a Maine Coon cat, which is as big as a tiger, the cramped space in the back seat of a car can be a torture.

It would rather run to Qingzhou on its own four limbs than experience the feeling of riding in a car again.

Walking through the mountains and forests, the Maine Coon cat runs freely like a tiger returning to the forest.

There were many small animals around, looking curiously at the huge strange creature in front of them that looked like a tiger but was not a tiger. The Maine Coon let out an unpleasant growl, and the small animals immediately scattered.

After doing all this, the Maine Coon obediently returned to Shen Yuan and complained to him in a low voice:

"That human just now was so rude. He actually asked the gentleman to sell me in front of me."

Shen Yuan laughed dumbly: "The reason why he said that is because he doesn't really regard you as an independent intelligent life.

In his eyes, you are just a pet, so he will not care about these issues. "

The Maine Coon paused when he heard this, his sharp tiger teeth showing a bit of ferocity, and he let out a low roar:

"All humans are like this, except for you, sir."

Shen Yuan chuckled and shook his head, saying: "This has nothing to do with humans, nor with good or evil.

Survival of the fittest is the great cycle of heaven and earth. In the period of depletion of spiritual energy, human beings were able to develop such a prosperous civilization without the help of spiritual energy and stand at the top of all living beings. Naturally, they had the arrogance to look down on other living beings.

All of this comes from the heritage of the human race, so humans naturally would not be willing to share everything they have created today with the demon race.

Even if you have the same wisdom and power as them, it will still be the same."

When the Maine Coon heard this, his anger subsided a lot, and his tiger eyes showed a thoughtful look.

In the past, it just instinctively wanted to be hostile to humans, hostile to the status and resources that humans possessed, and wanted to have the same social status as humans, but it did not realize that it was humans who created human society.

"Then according to your opinion, how should the demon race deal with themselves?"

“The demon race still has a long way to go. They need to be qualified to have a real dialogue with humans, learn human knowledge, and truly integrate into the human race.

But these are useless fantasies.”

The Maine Coon was shocked: "Why would you say that, sir?"

Shen Yuan glanced at the Maine Coon meaningfully.

“The spiritual energy tide has returned, but in the foreseeable future, this prosperous era of cultivation will one day decline again.

The period of spiritual energy depletion has arrived. Without the support of spiritual energy, intelligent monsters can no longer be born. Even the monster bloodlines will gradually degenerate into mindless beasts.

At that time, the only thing the demon race can do is to hide their knowledge and heritage in their blood and wait for the next spiritual energy tide to come."

"This world is inherently unfair."

The Maine Coon was completely stunned.

But the one who was even more shocked than the Maine Coon cat was Bai Xue in Shen Yuan's arms.

For the first time, a look of bewilderment and helplessness appeared in her beautiful heterochromatic eyes. Her worldview was being severely damaged. With noble blood, she had inherited a lot of precious heritage since she was born. At the same time, she also had a sense of mission that other demons did not have.

Let the cat clan, and even the entire demon clan, rise up and have the qualifications to have equal dialogue with humans.

However, Shen Yuan told her that it was all in vain. The exhaustion and revival of spiritual energy was an endless cycle, and the demon race could not break free of this cycle.

For the kitten who was less than a month old, this was undoubtedly a huge blow.

The Maine Coon cat at the side finally digested Shen Yuan's words. It followed again, but without the previous interest.

She just followed Shen Yuan without saying a word, and occasionally glanced at Bai Xue in Shen Yuan's arms.

Normal demons would never think about having an equal dialogue with humans. What they believe in is the supremacy of power.

Only Snow White and the Maine Coon cats influenced by Snow White would think about these things which are extremely stupid to ordinary monsters.

The Maine Coon said nothing, but Shen Yuan spoke up at this time and asked the Maine Coon the question that had puzzled him for a long time.

"As a cat demon, why do you look so much like a tiger and possess the innate magical power of the tiger clan, a copper head and iron arms?"

Maine's expression became a little unnatural when he heard that, and Bai Xue in Shen Yuan's arms also woke up from the huge blow, with a guilty look on her little face.

When she was just born, she encountered a seriously injured Maine Coon cat. The best way to save the Maine Coon was to give it a kind of inherited memory so that it could transform into a demon.

But the young Snow White had no idea of ​​the difference between a tiger demon and a cat demon. In the eyes of young Snow White, the size of a Maine Coon cat was comparable to that of a huge tiger, so she gave the tiger demon's inherited memory to the Maine Coon cat.

The blood power brought by inherited memory makes the Maine Coon more ferocious.

"Maybe, maybe it's because I awakened the tiger tribe's heritage?"

Maine Coon said vaguely.

Shen Yuan just asked out of curiosity and didn't dwell on it too much. Seeing that the Maine Coon looked unnatural, he didn't ask any further questions.

At this time, it has been quite some time since Shen Yuan entered the jungle. Normally, with their speed, they would have been able to cross the forest long ago.

But Shen Yuan was still in the mountains and forests, and he couldn't see the road clearly in the dense jungle.

The sunset in the sky is about to set, and the afterglow of the sunset falls on the earth, making this originally vibrant jungle seem to be doomed and decayed.

Shen Yuan stopped and looked at the seemingly endless jungle in front of him.

He had deliberately avoided the mountains before, but was still trapped in the chaotic environment before him. This was enough to show that it seemed that it was not just a certain area or a certain creature that caused everything.

Everything shown here is closer to some kind of natural phenomenon.

Shen Yuan casually placed Snow White in his arms on the Maine Coon's head and did not choose to continue exploring the way forward.

His eyes swept across the dim sunset that seemed to carry a sense of decay, and Shen Yuan said indifferently:

"cut!"

The next moment, a white light rose from the storage ring, and the purple energy of the morning glow that had been refined in Shen Yuan's body for several days was all poured into the Huiming Sword.

Divine thoughts surged, and the ancient bronze sword seemed to transform into a rising sun, slashing towards the dim sun with a touch of noble purple aura.

The flying sword slashed down, and the false dim sun shattered in an instant. The sunset light that originally covered the earth was completely swallowed up by the darkness, and night had already fallen outside the false dusk.

The surrounding mountains and forests had long disappeared, and a village with sporadic lights appeared in front of Shen Yuan not far away.

The Maine Coon's hair stood on end, because it could clearly see two large words written on the plaque outside the village.

Ghost market!
