Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Golden Elephant Clan slaves who had tipped them off gleamed.
Gripping the weapon tightly, I was filled with excitement.
Yes, you read that right, it's excitement.
They had always been the lowest of slaves, and no matter what Talley did, they were all punished together.
They felt that was too unfair.
Because the Whale Shark King was too tolerant of Tyre, they were the ones who ultimately suffered the consequences of the successive rebellions.
Some of their relatives were executed because of Thales' rebellion.
It would be a lie to say they don't hate it.
Most importantly, Thales not only survived the rebellion but also escaped all punishment.
This is one of the reasons why the Golden Elephant tribe hates Taley.
As for Yuanzheng, they also loathed him.
If he hadn't taught Thaly to become stronger, what power would Thaly have had to become stronger, and what power would he have had to rebel?
Therefore, in the hearts of these slaves, Yuan Zheng and Tai Lei were people they hated.
Now, the Whale Shark King promises that as long as Yuan Zheng is killed, they can become the captains of the slaves.
Although the power was still very small, it was still a power that slaves should not have.
Even a little power is a deadly temptation for them.
Yuan Zheng saw through the thoughts in the minds of those slaves and found it incredibly unbelievable.
He was already like a slave, doing the same things every day, never receiving any special treatment.
Unexpectedly, the Whale Shark King's promise of a little power actually led him to want to kill him.
The slaves, gripping their spears, walked step by step toward Yuan Zheng, their eyes gleaming with madness.
Thales never expected that his people would be like this.
"Don't be fooled by the Whale Shark King. And do you really think a little bit of power would make you betray your own people?"
However, the slaves ignored his words.
They are like this because of you, Thales.
Although there are no longer any class distinctions among slaves, it's not like you can just wave your hand and incite them to rebel every time.
In a sense, Tyree had already been tacitly recognized as the leader by the Golden Elephant Clan slaves.
He certainly didn't feel any temptation from "a little bit of power".
Because Thales had long been accustomed to power, without even realizing it.
To put it nicely, it means leading slaves; to put it bluntly, it means commanding slaves.
The slaves were very resentful. Why were they all slaves, but Thale could command the other slaves?
To put it bluntly, it's just a demonstration of strength.
Aside from the ability to wield power, the only other option left is to choose sides.
If you choose the right side, what does it matter if you're weak?
They can still gain power!
Now that the opportunity is right in front of them, how could they not go crazy!
The Whale Shark King looked at the slaves and Yuan Zheng with a mocking expression, and the ugly side of human nature was slowly revealed.
To make humanity more apparent, he decided to add fuel to the fire.
"There are too many people. I only need the first person to kill Yuan Zheng. Only the first person to kill Yuan Zheng can become the captain of the slaves!"
Yuan Zheng's pupils contracted, somewhat angrily: "Whale Shark King, you..."
He knew that he was likely to be disappointed today.
Because of the whale shark king's words, the benefits were concentrated on one person.
Originally, the slaves had no competition at all, but after hearing this, they had no choice but to compete.
Moreover, it's always better for one person to be in power than for a group of people to be in power.
Isn't that what human desires are all about?
Once you get what you want, you gradually become dissatisfied and start pursuing what you want even more.
"kill!!!"
The slave who had been helped by Thaly several times could no longer hold back and was the first to rush out and kill Yuan Zheng.
Seduced by power, he completely forgot that Thales and Yuanzheng had once helped him.
Enraged, Tyree tried to stop them but was stomped to the ground by the Whale Shark King.
“Tale, I said I would punish you, so accept your punishment. I told you long ago that freedom comes at a high price!”
The Whale Shark King had said this to Terry more than once, but he never listened to it.
"Master, you must fight back!"
However, upon hearing Thales' voice, Yuan Zheng did not move. Instead, he closed his eyes and quietly awaited death.
"Pfft!"
A spurt of blood gushed out, but it wasn't Yuan Zheng's.
Yuan Zheng opened his eyes and stared in disbelief at the scene before him.
The first slave who charged out was pierced through the chest by a spear from the second slave who charged out.
"The captain's position can only be mine!"
The second slave who charged out drew his blood-stained spear and roared.
He would stop at nothing to get that position and that power.
So what if they are from the same clan?
Even if they are family, so what?
Anyone who stands in his way of getting that position must die!
However, he didn't even have three seconds to be arrogant.
He himself was killed in the same way by the slave he had just been working with.
Those chosen slaves, instead of fighting for the position, started killing each other, forgetting who their real target was.
Upon seeing this scene, Yuan Zheng's face aged many years in an instant, resembling a withered skeleton in a tomb or a flickering candle in the wind.
One hundred thousand years, a full one hundred thousand years.
Did he really... really not change the Golden Elephant Clan... even a little bit?
Thales was dumbfounded, watching his tribesmen fighting each other in utter bewilderment.
Isn't he just a slave captain with a little power, one rank higher than an ordinary slave?
Why would they go to such lengths for that little bit of power?
Wouldn't it be better to just follow him in rebellion and overthrow the whale shark king's rule than to kill each other?
But Thales couldn't understand how much someone who had lived underground for 100,000 years could possibly want to climb up.
The Whale Shark King watched with relish as the slaves fought, a cold glint surging deep within his eyes.
At this moment, Long Jian and Huo Linfei, who had been tied up, were brought back to their senses by the noisy fighting.
"What...what happened?"
The two stared blankly at the slaves killing each other.
Huo Linfei was puzzled as to why the slaves had suddenly started fighting amongst themselves.
After about ten minutes of fighting, only one slave remained.
The slave's hands were stained with the blood of his own kind, but his eyes showed no remorse, only smugness.
But just as he was about to kill Yuan Zheng, the Whale Shark King made a new move.
Because he noticed that Huo Linfei and Long Jian had woken up, he prepared to let them experience the evil of humanity as well.
"Wait, step aside first."
Although the slave was puzzled, he still obediently stood aside.
Then the Whale Shark King pointed to the slaves who had been chosen and were to be executed, and said, "I will also give you a chance. Whether you live or die depends on your own abilities."
"What opportunity? What opportunity? I'm willing to do anything as long as I can survive!"
"I want to live! I want to live! Please give me a chance!"
"…………"
Without exception, these slaves were begging for mercy, trying to demonstrate a loyalty even greater than that of dogs.
The Whale Shark King was quite satisfied and said calmly.
“You who should have been executed for Thales’ rebellion, I will now give you a chance.”
"Join the ranks of those who kill Yuan Zheng, and the final victor will also receive the promise I just made."
