Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 687 - 484: In Pine Mountain World, Humans Are Blood Food (2)

Ti Hu waved his hand, with no trace of disdain for Pine Mountain.

He conversed with Pine Mountain with complete equality.

"Thank you, envoy from the Upper Realm."

Pine Mountain nodded, smiled kindly at Lu Lin, and his avatar projection disappeared before the two of them.

"Lu Lin, in the Pine Mountain World, you will feel it for yourself; the strongest here is Pine Mountain."

"Moreover, there are some human tribes in this world, but there are more demon beasts—various kinds of demon beasts, plant systems, animal systems, and spirit systems."

"But the Humans here are still in the Age of Ignorance, and can only become meals for the demon beasts."

Ti Hu introduced flatly, but Lu Lin felt a tug in his heart.

He was different in mindset from these strong persons who had been cultivating for many years.

To Lu Lin, those ignorant Humans, or Humans who haven't stepped into the path of cultivation, essentially belong to the same family as he does.

For Humans from other small worlds, Lu Lin wouldn't be fully open, but he would feel a sense of compassion.

Now, hearing Ti Hu say that the Humans of this world can only become food for demon beasts, Lu Lin felt a discomfort in his heart.

"Ti Hu Commander, where are the divisions of those human tribes and clans? I'd like to see their situation."

"That's easy."

"Our team stationed here has roughly mapped the world before. You can take a look first."

When Ti Hu said this, he suddenly paused, "However, Lu Lin, you must remember, this is the Pine Mountain World, and every world naturally has its normal development rules and inevitable trends."

"Perhaps out of kindness you saved some Humans for a while, but this is not a long-term plan."

"Those who achieve great things don't get caught up in minor details; don't let your small compassion lead you astray."

Having said this, Ti Hu retrieved a map from the Storage Ring and handed it to Lu Lin.

"You go and have a look around first, I'll stay here for a while and wait for you."

"No need, Ti Hu Commander."

"Just give me a crystal stone to return to Hanche Complete World, and after I handle my affairs here, I'll quickly return."

When Ti Hu heard Lu Lin say this, he knew Lu Lin hadn't taken his words to heart. But no matter how much others tell him, it is useless until Lu Lin, after countless efforts, realizes he cannot change the situation; only then will he face reality.

That's how Ti Hu came to be, Lu Lin is young and still has plenty of opportunities to make mistakes.

"Alright then, just be careful."

"Human effort has its limits, human effort does have its limits."

With his hands behind his back, Ti Hu's figure gradually disappeared.

Lu Lin watched Ti Hu's departing figure for a moment, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile.

Ti Hu had his thoughts, and Lu Lin had his; neither could change the other's mind.

There are thousands of paths in the world, and without walking to the end, who knows who is right or wrong, or whether there is a right and wrong at all.

When in poverty, improve oneself.

When successful, unite the world. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Lu Lin was just one man, but he would do whatever he could.

...

"Help!"

"Help!"

In the dense jungle, a strong man covered in paint, holding a crude wooden spear, was running at full speed.

His physique appeared exceptionally robust, yet at this moment, he looked like a frightened little mouse, fleeing in a hurry.

Behind him, a massive demon beast, resembling a tabby cat and standing five meters tall, was chasing him, occasionally letting out a soft cry or leaping ahead, forcing him to change his escape route.

"Help, help."

Li Ge shouted loudly, yet there was no response in this forest.

He knew there were many strong figures from the tribe watching in the shadows, but now no one came out to help him.

Of course, Li Ge understood them.

If he were not the one being pursued by the Bloodthirsty Leopard Cat now, he would certainly be hiding in the shadows, not daring to make a sound.

After all, the Bloodthirsty Leopard Cat was incredibly powerful; even the bravest warrior in the tribe was no match for it.

No.

More than just no match.

To step out now wouldn't be called a fight, it would be serving oneself up to the Bloodthirsty Leopard Cat.

"Splash."

While running, Li Ge heard the sound of flowing water and couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face.

The Bloodthirsty Leopard Cat was ruthless, its speed quick like lightning, practically a natural predator on land and in the forest; no person or demon beast could escape its hunt.

Yet, it had one weakness—it was naturally unable to swim.

If it accidentally fell into the water, the Bloodthirsty Leopard Cat might drown.

And this was Li Ge's chance.

As long as he successfully jumped into the small river ahead that was just a few meters wide, the Bloodthirsty Leopard Cat would surely give up.

Closer.

Closer still.

The sound of flowing water continued, and Li Ge could even smell the fresh scent of the wet soil by the riverbank.

It's a chance to live.

Not to be missed.

Luckily, at this moment, the Bloodthirsty Leopard Cat, which had been pursuing him, seemed unaware. It appeared certain of capturing Li Ge, paying no attention to his aim.

"River, here I come."

Li Ge shouted loudly in front of a huge stone near the riverbank and stepped hard on the stone with his right foot, almost landing in the water.

But who knew.

The face of the Bloodthirsty Leopard Cat that had been following him showed a human-like smile.

It immensely enjoyed this moment.

When someone believes they've escaped to safety, it suddenly appears, extinguishing all hope.

This brought the Bloodthirsty Leopard Cat more joy than outright killing these ordinary Humans from the start.

As Li Ge was about to descend into the river, his mind was filled with the thrill of having escaped.

But at that moment.

A terrifying figure and a slightly mocking expression appeared before Li Ge's eyes.

Bloodthirsty!

Leopard Cat!

Li Ge's face turned pale with shock.

Then, he heard a slight sound, and his vision went black; he lost all consciousness.

The Bloodthirsty Leopard Cat's body, bending the laws of nature, shifted in mid-air, returned to the ground to lick its fur, and then, after a splash, Li Ge's body finally fell into the water.

"Alas!"

In the dense forest, an old man, his beard and hair white, his body covered in scars, let out a long sigh.

The deceased Li Ge was the fourth warrior from the Step Hunting Team to die this month.

Currently, the demon beasts in the forest seemed to have gone mad, killing any human they spotted.

It's been half a month since the Step Tribe has caught any game, surviving only on wild fruits to fill their stomachs.

The tribe's food reserves were nearly exhausted, and the hunting team had been out for four days without any gain. At this rate, in a few days, the Step Tribe might starve to death in this vast forest.

"All-powerful God of Thunder and Lightning, please send an envoy to save us."

The old man was filled with grief, but he dared not cry out, fearing detection by the Bloodthirsty Leopard Cat, which would doom them all just like Li Ge.

Not far away, the Bloodthirsty Leopard Cat at the riverbank licked its fur and prepared to leave. Then, a terrifying, earth-shaking roar echoed.

"Roar—"

The Bloodthirsty Leopard Cat hesitated for a moment, then seemed to realize something and vanished in the blink of an eye from the Step Tribe's hunting team.

The old man, covered in scars, shuddered at the terrifying roar. He stood up from his hidden spot in the bushes and shouted loudly: "Quick, everyone, return to the tribe with me."

"The Mountain King is descending, the tribe is in danger."

The old man said this, not waiting for the other warriors to respond, and dashed out, following the Bloodthirsty Leopard Cat.

Hearing his shout, hunters, each with a strong build and holding various wooden weapons, stood up from the surrounding thickets and the dense forest.

The Mountain King is descending.

This meant the Step Tribe was in trouble once again.
