My Passive Skills are Invincible!-Chapter 297 - The Only One Who Can Help You Is Yourself.

On a desolate stone ground, the ground faintly trembled.

The clanging sound of metal weapons cut against rocks.

The footsteps of horses stomped on the ground.

There were also the sounds of shouting and rocks that whistled through the air.

It was deafening.

From afar, Mike and Timus could feel that there seemed to be a fierce battle going on there.

“Teacher, do you really not need help?”

Timus had a worried look on his face. He wanted to speed up his pace, but he had no choice but to follow Mike’s footsteps and slow down.

He knew very well that his centaur friends were fighting the stone giants in the canyon ahead.

He really wanted to help, but his teacher just pretended to be calm.

When Mike heard Timus’s question, he did not seem to be in a hurry. Instead, he said calmly, “Have faith and confidence in your friends. They can handle this battle.”

When Timus heard this, although he was still a little worried, he still nodded. Mike saw the worry on Timus’s face and spoke up to ease his mind.

“Moreover… This was the path they have chosen. We must let them walk it on their own.

“Helping them the first time would be fine, but we should never help them the second time.

“In this world, humans only live for a few decades. To live to a hundred years would be considered a long life.

“But for other races, decades pass with a snap of a finger.

“You can protect them for a hundred years, but can you protect them for five hundred years? Or a thousand years?”

“… No.”

Timus sighed and answered honestly.

“So, what they need most now is not our help, but how to face these difficulties on their own.

“If they can’t do that, it’s better to go back and live with Phineas and the others as soon as possible to live a peaceful life.

“Remember, no one in this world will help you forever. The only one who can help you is yourself!”

After listening to Mike’s words, Timus finally regained his determination. He nodded heavily as if he had made up his mind. He could not help but want to speed up his footsteps.

His teacher was right. He could help the centaurs once, but he should not help them a second or third time. He would not be around forever to save them!

The centaurs had to rely on their own strength to survive. Even if their entire race was wiped out, it was still their own choice.

Finally, the sounds of screaming gradually died down.

With that, Mike and Timus also gradually approached the stone giant canyon. As the two slowly walked into the canyon, they were greeted by many injured centaurs, and the ground was littered with rubble.

Some of the rubble was ordinary rubble.

Some were corpses left behind by the stone giants.

After these corpses lost their vitality, they were no different from ordinary rubble.

When some of the centaurs cleaned up the battlefield, others were using some earth-based methods to heal their companions.

They did not know any healing spells, so they could only apply some herbs to let them and allow the wounds to naturally heal themselves.

This was the path they had chosen.

This was also the price they had to pay to walk on this path.

No one could change it…

“Gerald!”

Mike glanced at the centaurs and shouted. Hearing this, all the centaurs stopped what they were doing and looked over.

When they saw that it was Mike and Timus, all the centaurs cheered and ran over. Even the injured centaurs endured the pain of their wounds to greet him.

The reason was simple.

Because Lord F*ck was the greatest benefactor of the centaurs!

Gerald walked the fastest and arrived in front of Mike in front of all the centaurs.

He looked at Mike excitedly and stuttered as he spoke.

“Lord F*ck, you… You’re finally back!

“How long has it been? Half a month? A month? Half a year?”

Hearing Gerald’s words, Mike could not help but laugh, “It hasn’t been that long. By the way, why are you guys still fighting the stone giants?”

Hearing this, Gerald sighed, and his face became serious again, “These stone giants are really difficult to deal with. Even if we beat them back once, they will come back again. Fortunately, we’re able to deal with them for now. Although some of our clansmen get injured, they aren’t that serious.”

Mike nodded and did not say anything more. This was indeed the most suitable place for the centaurs to live. It was not that the centaurs were suitable to live on the stone ground, but because the stone giants were slow, and the centaurs’ had the advantage of speed. This advantage played a huge role during their battles.

Compared to dealing with other races, the stone giants were probably the easiest to deal with for the centaurs.

However, Gerald paused and said again, “But we have been sending our clansmen to look for a new home.”

“Why?” Mike raised his eyebrows and pushed further, “Aren’t you all going to be evil people?”

Hearing Mike’s words, Gerald said with an awkward expression, “We didn’t say that we wanted to be evil people. We just didn’t want to be bullied anymore and wanted to resist attacks.

“But these stone giants seem to have the same idea as us. They come back and attack us every once in a while.

“This kind of life is too tiring to live.”

Hearing Gerald’s words, Mike did not say anything but just smiled.

The stone giants were a kind of race that was everywhere. As long as they lived in this valley, there would be an endless stream of stone giants that would come and attack them.

After all, creatures like the stone giants could not survive without the stone land. They could only choose to fight the centaurs who had invaded their territory.

This was an unavoidable occurrence that the centaurs had to endure.

Either Gerald and the others found a new territory, or they would have to fight for the rest of their lives.

There was no other possibility.

Mike glanced at Gerald and spoke meaningfully, “You have chosen this path, so you must be very, very careful. 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

“You must know that this world is full of strong people. At any time, an expert who can kill all of you effortlessly may appear.

“Either you increase your strength as soon as possible and learn all kinds of combat techniques or you will lose your people.

“Moreover, in a few hundred years, you may even encounter a disaster.

“Perhaps you may think that Timus and I can help you. Unfortunately, the lifespan of humans is very short.

“The only one who can help you is yourself.”

Hearing Mike’s words, Gerald was silent for a moment, then nodded with a grim expression.

“Don’t worry, Lord F*ck, I’ll never forget your kindness and what you have done. I shall remember your words for decades to come”

Mike looked at Gerald and nodded with a smile. Then, he changed the topic and spoke once again, “By the way, I’m here to do something. Where’s the Soul Stone I gave you? I might need to hold on to it for a short while.”
