If anyone else had said these words, they wouldn't have believed a word. But since they came from the old shaman, they carried some weight.
That's true, otherwise, why would they look so similar to humans?
Even the tribespeople below began to whisper among themselves.
"Do you think the old witch doctor is lying to us? Is Grandma Arno really that selfish and cruel?"
"Who knows? But the old shaman is never one to talk much, and he doesn't seem to have ever lied to us, so I think it's probably true. But speaking of which, why does Grandma Arno hate humans so much and want to kill them?"
“That’s true. Actually, we’ve lived peacefully in the jungle all these years, and no human has ever tried to wipe us out. So I think…”
Everyone started talking at once, and the discussion gradually grew louder. Every word reached Arno's ears. For the first time in her life, she felt her authority as the leader being challenged.
"Grandma~" Jiang Shanshan couldn't help but ask timidly, "Is what the old witch doctor said true? Did you really secretly harm many innocent humans? But... but didn't you tell us that those humans were vicious villains who wanted to destroy our homes, and that you had no choice but to kill them to protect us... Grandma, and... and that person in the blood-nurturing room, you made him feed those highly poisonous spiders with your own blood, Grandma..."
"Shut up!" Arno interrupted her angrily, as if someone had caught him red-handed.
“Those people deserved to die! They trespassed on our territory, intending to harm us. I was just punishing them on behalf of God and protecting our home!”
Hearing this, the old shaman shook his head helplessly, "Why are you still so unreasonable? Isn't it because many years ago, a man hurt your sister Asha? Yes, there are fickle people among humans, and our fox clan is no exception, but you can't take your resentment and anger out on all of humanity because of one man's mistake. Over the years, you have cruelly hurt so many innocent people, which can be considered revenge for Asha. It's time to stop."
The old shaman's words brought Yi Yi, who was still in a daze, back to her senses. She was shocked to realize that the book she had seen in Mu Nanxun's study was not only real, but also based on something that had happened around her.
It turns out that Asha in the story is actually Grandma Arno's twin sister. Anyone would be furious if their own sister suffered so much because of a man.
Grandma Arno was just too extreme, blaming all of humanity for one person's mistakes. That's why she so deeply hated humanity and was forever at odds with them.
But clearly, the old witch doctor's words could not dispel the knot in Arno's heart. Her hatred for humanity was ingrained in her very being and could not be completely erased overnight.
“Old sorcerer, stop talking! My sister met such a fate because of her own stupidity, but it's also true that humans are selfish, narrow-minded, and fickle! Don't spout such foolish nonsense as saying we and humans share the same origin. Right now, humans don't know of our existence, so we can coexist peacefully. But once they find out, we'll all be doomed. Since you've already saved Yi Yi, I'll let her go… but…”
