The mountain breeze paused in its act of stroking the rice ball's fur. "Thank you, Tiger King."
Although he was not yet 18 years old, he was mature enough to understand the meaning behind Lin Qian's words and how much help and relief Lin Qian's decision had given him.
Even though he had no intention of returning to humanity and did not want to be a traitor to humanity, he also did not want to abandon the spirit beasts.
This is a contradiction and a source of great torment for Shanfeng. Although he has not yet faced a real choice between humans and spirit beasts, he often thinks about it, especially when Fantuan goes to eavesdrop on the base's secrets.
If Spirit Beast Mountain hadn't shown no intention of aggression and had only been monitoring the situation, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the torment of this contradiction long ago.
——————————
More than 800 people came to the Dragon Roar Base this time, including 10 people who reached level 15, 200 people who were superhumans at level 10 or above, and the rest were at level 7 or above.
With such a gathering of beasts, the Dragon Roar Base naturally wouldn't allow low-level ability users to come and take risks. The gap between humans and spirit beasts has already been proven, and mutated and demonized beasts are also dangerous. If they want to obtain opportunities, they naturally need more resources.
In the competition of high-end combat power, the human wave tactic is currently not advantageous for humanity. It is better to take the path of elite troops, which has a better chance of winning.
Wang Shaocheng, who was standing at the head of the group, turned his head to look at the boy not far away when he heard the reporter's words.
Liang Shaocheng was once the highest-ranking officer of the Liangcheng military. After leading the Liangcheng survivors to the capital base, he remained a high-ranking officer and was also a level 15 superhuman. He was in charge of leading this team.
He knew about Shan Feng, this young high-level superhuman, especially since Shan Feng always kept to himself and was unwilling to interact with others.
The higher-ups once suspected that Shanfeng had suffered too many changes due to his young age, which had led to a personality defect that deviated from the norm. This matter was even discussed in a meeting.
Don't underestimate Shanfeng just because he's only a superhuman. In the current environment, a high-level superhuman, especially a young one with talent and great potential, is definitely someone the base should take seriously.
At the time, Wang Shaocheng was among those who supported Shanfeng undergoing psychological testing and counseling, so he also paid close attention to this withdrawn teenager.
However, the results of Shanfeng's psychological tests later showed no serious psychological problems, so the military did not pay any special attention to him. However, Shanfeng's psychological counseling treatment lasted for three months.
Shan Feng followed the reporter over. This time, he no longer kept his head down. His gaze was pure, and his steps were firm. He was no longer the aloof stranger he used to be.
"Shanfeng, have you discovered anything?" Wang Shaocheng asked in a kind tone, assuming that Shanfeng had discovered something unusual, as he was also aware of Fantuan's sensory abilities.
Although the rice ball's sensory abilities at the base were limited to sensing sudden dangers, it was still quite remarkable.
Looking at the kind and steady middle-aged man in front of him, Shan Feng felt respect in his eyes. This respect was for Wang Shaocheng's insistence on fulfilling his responsibilities during the disaster and bringing the survivors of Liangcheng to the capital.
"General, let me formally introduce myself to you."
The boy's clear voice carried a serious tone, which made Wang Shaocheng's heart skip a beat.
"My name is Shanfeng, a diplomat from Ling Shou Mountain."
The moment the word "diplomat" was uttered, Wang Shaocheng knew something was wrong, but as someone in a superior position, he remained composed despite his surprise.
"I wonder which base this Spirit Beast Mountain is?" Wang Shaocheng didn't immediately think of spirit beasts. He assumed that Shanfeng was a spy from another base, which was a common occurrence during human warfare, and as an officer, he was no stranger to it.
"You will find out." The young man smiled slightly. "I have come to formally bid you farewell and solemnly inform you that Spirit Beast Mountain is willing to cooperate with Dragon Roar Base, and hopes that we will have the opportunity to have peaceful talks again in the future."
After saying this, Shanfeng took flight and sped towards Lin Qian and the others.
This action not only stunned Wang Shaocheng, but also startled the other humans. The ability users at the Dragon Roar Base thought that their side was about to attack the spirit beast, and they all entered a state of tense preparation.
Meanwhile, the superhumans in other human bases hesitated. They were wondering whether to help. If they didn't help, the humans would be even weaker in this environment surrounded by beasts, and if they did help, what would it look like if they started fighting before even entering?
Before everyone could finish their thought process, Shanfeng was already standing calmly in front of Tiger Dad, holding a rice ball.
The boy bowed slightly. "We're back."
"Roar." Tiger Dad let out a soft growl, lowered his majestic tiger head, and gently nuzzled the top of Shanfeng's head, showing his affection.
Rice Ball meowed and ran towards Tiger Mom. The little cat rubbed against the big tiger, being incredibly well-behaved.
Upon seeing this, everyone was stunned, whether they were from other bases or the Dragon Roar base.
Although there are spirit beasts that have evolved from pets among humans, I have never seen a human mingling among spirit beasts! Moreover, this human boy is clearly in a subordinate position!
After a brief moment of astonishment, the superhumans at the Dragon Roar Base couldn't help but feel indignant, easily assuming that Shan Feng was a traitor.
After his initial surprise, Wang Shaocheng gave Shan Feng a deep look, recalling the boy's words as he left, and many thoughts began to form in his mind.
Yao Yao covered her mouth and tugged at Amo's sleeve, "Brother Amo, Shanfeng, Shanfeng is a spirit beast...?"
The little girl couldn't find the words to describe it, and she pouted in distress, but Amo knew what she meant.
