Chapter 37 The Reasons Why Demons and Monsters Eat People
"He, too, will do it?"
Fengshen Falcon tilted his head and asked Ji Ruo.
Ji Ruo knew what Fengshen Falcon was referring to, and nodded frantically: "The seasonings I put on the barbecue were made by him!"
"good."
Fengshen Falcon grabbed Liang Shixian together, then flapped its wings and took off into the air in an instant.
The wind was howling violently, and Ji Ruo was holding the shivering Rosie in his arms, caught in the claws of the Wind God Falcon, while Liang Shixian was in the other claw.
"Cry!"
The clear chirping sound echoed throughout the sky.
Ji Ruo understood the meaning of the cry through the [Common Language] and was a little confused.
Fengshen Falcon said: "I am so lucky to have found two humans who can cook delicious food! The baby is about to be born, and I will definitely be a good mother!"
After thinking about it, Ji Ruo suddenly came up with a bold idea.
He gritted his teeth and shouted into the strong wind: "Auntie! I can help you take care of the children, but can you please not eat us?"
Ji Ruo originally intended to say this.
But the wind was howling in the sky, and although the Wind God Falcon was obviously taking care of him and Liang Shixian's fragile bodies and did not fly too fast, it still made Ji Ruo very uncomfortable.
The strong wind rushed back into Ji Ruo's mouth, filling it up completely, causing his handsome face to become wildly distorted.
The words he spoke also became: "Ah wow wow wow wow wow wow..."
Fortunately, the translation of [Common Language] is bidirectional, so Fengshen Falcon can understand what Ji Ruo wanted to express.
The Wind God Falcon chirped curiously: "Huh? Can you understand what I'm saying?"
(For the convenience of reading, the following translation into the common language will not include onomatopoeia.)
Ji Ruo continued to yell to show that he understood.
The two sides achieved barrier-free communication in the sky through the [Common Language], using two completely different languages.
The Wind God Falcon cried out, "Don't worry, I won't eat you. I just want to make a deal with you... In my impression, you humans seem to like trading."
Ji Ruo: "What deal?"
Although he thought the sentence "Humans seem to like trading" was a bit strange, now was not the time to ask about it.
No matter what the deal is, as long as I can survive.
Fengshen Falcon said: "You make delicious food for me and my children, in exchange, I allow you to live in my nest... It seems that the content of the transaction between you humans and our demons has always been like this, what do you think?"
“Okay, okay!”
Although Ji Ruo was even more confused, he did not dare to disagree - what if he made the big bird unhappy, and its claws loosened, throwing them down directly?
A moment later, Fengshen Falcon brought Ji Ruo and the unconscious Liang Shixian to an island suspended ten thousand meters in the sky.
There is also a huge bird's nest on this island. On one side of the nest is a pile of monster blood food, but they are all sealed with solid ice. Ji Ruo's heart beats with fear when he sees it - they are all high-level monsters!
Next to the blood food, there were a large number of spiritual fruits and vegetables. The rich fragrance made Ji Ruo feel dizzy and slightly intoxicated just by smelling it.
When Ji Ruo looked down, his heart sank - this bird's nest was actually built on a huge floating stone, and Ji Ruo could not run away even if he wanted to.
The Wind God Falcon put Ji Ruo and the other man down, then spread its wings and cried out, and its huge body slowly shrank.
After a moment, the originally huge Quetzalcoatl shrank to a size of nearly two and a half meters in length...although it was still very large, it was much smaller.
Ji Ruo's pupils shrank slightly. As expected, this big bird could control the heavens and the earth!
The Wind God Falcon cried out, "Your previous size was too large. I see that you are too slow in making food. This will be more convenient."
Now, even Ji Ruo felt that it was a little unreal.
Although he had been having a lot of fun since entering the secret realm, he actually encountered a lot of dangers.
It was only by relying on various achievement rewards that Ji Ruo was able to escape danger every time.
However, no matter how powerful the achievement reward is, there must be a limit.
Once the Wind God Falcon reaches adulthood, it will be comparable to the peak of the fourth realm of martial arts - the one in front of it already has a baby, how can it not be an adult?
Ji Ruo's achievement rewards may be effective, but they will never be too strong.
After thinking for a while, Ji Ruo asked hesitantly: "Auntie, are you sure you won't eat us?"
He looked so cautious, just like a primary school student who had done something wrong and was called into the teacher's office.
Fengshen Falcon rolled his eyes and said, "What good do you humans have? There are too many bones and too little meat. Not only do they taste bad, but they don't fill you up, and they can't improve your cultivation. They're useless. Why should I eat you?"
Ji Ruo was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, what the hell!
It seems like that!
It had been only two months since Ji Ruo traveled through time, so when he faced monsters, he had a preconceived notion that monsters could eat humans to increase their cultivation level - just like what was described in the novels of his previous life.
However, the reality is not like this.
A monster cannot improve its cultivation by eating humans, or in other words, it cannot improve its cultivation by eating martial artists.
In terms of Qi and blood strength, under normal circumstances, demons are stronger than human warriors of the same level.
If someone kills someone, they will resist, but there is an oppressive relationship among the monsters. Those with noble bloodlines or those with great strength inherently have the ability to take whatever they want from the weak.
The weak will not resist.
Therefore, for the demon race, eating other weak demons is much more cost-effective than eating humans directly.
Therefore, monsters actually did not have the habit of eating humans at the beginning.
According to the description in history textbooks, demons and monsters actually appeared as invaders in the earliest times.
They kill people to seize territory and have no habit of eating humans - some omnivorous and fierce monsters may eat them occasionally, but in terms of taste, there are many creatures that taste better than humans.
It was only later that humans began to practice martial arts, and the practice of martial arts requires a large supply of qi and blood.
Where does this supply of qi and blood come from?
Monsters with strong physiques naturally become the first choice.
Humans fought to survive, fought desperately, killed and ate at the same time, and eventually the monsters became even more ferocious, so they also started to eat humans.
Later, as time went by, this gradually evolved into a tradition of the demon race.
Some monsters believe that if they don’t eat a few people, they are not worthy of being called monsters...
Of course, this situation only accounts for the majority, but not all.
As for demons... humans generally don't eat this kind of thing. This is because when demons advance, their talents or spiritual powers are mainly enhanced, and their flesh and blood are mixed with extremely chaotic spiritual thoughts. Not only do they taste bad, but they can also easily drive people crazy. Therefore, humans generally don't eat demons.
Yao also doesn't like to eat monsters.
The monsters eat humans, but the reason they do so is simply because at the beginning of the invasion, there was a melee among the three tribes, and the other two tribes were eating each other, so there weren't even many corpses of the two tribes left on the battlefield.
The three tribes fought each other, and everyone wanted to become the overlord of this world.
But after each battle, only the corpses of monsters are left on the battlefield... The monsters feel insulted - why do monsters eat humans, humans eat monsters, but not monsters? !
Every time a fight ends, the battlefield is filled with the corpses of monsters. If you don’t know, you might think that these monsters are the weakest among the three tribes!
So, out of anger and shame, the monsters also started eating humans...
They also eat monsters.
Although this period of history is described in a somewhat ridiculous way, the dark humor contained in it is what can best deepen students' memories.
Ji Ruo smacked his lips. When the original owner learned this point of knowledge, he found it a little funny.
How could a monster start eating humans for such a ridiculous reason?
But when it was really Ji Ruo's turn to face it, and when he heard Feng Shen Falcon's words, "It has too many bones and too little meat, and not only does it taste bad, it doesn't fill you up, and it can't improve your cultivation, it's completely useless," Ji Ruo almost rolled up his sleeves to prove himself...
Fortunately, Ji Ruo held back - what a strange competitive spirit men have!
Fengshen Falcon continued, "Only those so-called high-level warriors are worth eating. But those guys fight fiercely, and it's very troublesome to eat them. Killing one is like poking a hornet's nest. It's very annoying. That's why I don't want to eat them."
Ji Ruo: “…”
After hearing with his own ears what Fengshen Falcon, the sky overlord in the secret realm of Wanshou Mountain, said about humans, Ji Ruo felt very complicated.
…
