Chapter 285: The Rules of Monsters

Su Chen waved his hand and said to Princess Xiling: "Princess, please forgive me for being rude. I have something to say to you."

Princess Xiling blinked and said: "You go ahead."

"You know that Qianyin is a simple-minded person, but you still lured her to go to the monster's lair with you to take risks. Can you protect her? If something happens, who will be responsible?" Su Chen had been holding back these words for a long time. Now that the danger was over, he asked them all at once.

Princess Xiling slowly blinked her long eyelashes like clear water and said: "Master Su Chen, are you blaming me for taking Qianyin to take risks?"

Su Chen shook his head: "I don't have the time to blame you. I just want to say that this is just for this time. If there is a similar situation next time, I will not be polite even if you are the princess."

After saying that, Su Chen no longer paid attention to Princess Xiling and took Gu Qianyin to the side to treat the wound on his arm.

Gu Qianyin rarely saw Su Chen angry. At this moment, she felt indescribable in her heart. She was a little happy, but also a little uneasy about Su Chen's anger at Princess Xiling.

Princess Xiling lowered her long eyelashes and remained silent. It was unknown what she was thinking.

Su Chen took Gu Qianyin to the stream to treat the wound and applied the healing medicine.

Then, Su Chen returned to the body of the Silver Moon Beast and took away the horn and heart of the Silver Moon Beast. For this kind of third-level monster beast in the transformation realm, the horn and heart are its most valuable parts. They can be used as medicine and are worth more than 100,000 taels of silver.

If the spoils were to be ranked when they went out, the horn and heart of the Silver Moon Beast alone would be enough to make the three-person team rank in the top three spoils.

After dealing with the body of the Silver Moon Beast, the three of them did not stay any longer and quickly left the vicinity of the body to avoid the bloody smell of the body attracting other large monsters.

When they walked back to the campsite, it was dawn.

But because the three of them had fought the Silver Moon Beast for half the night and had consumed a lot of energy, at this moment, they all sat down against the tree trunk, closed their eyes and rested, without saying anything.

Gu Qianyin found that there seemed to be a strange atmosphere between Su Chen and Princess Xiling. The two seemed to be angry, and neither of them paid attention to the other, as if the other did not exist.

This made Gu Qianyin caught in the middle, and she was in a dilemma. Logically, she should follow Su Chen in everything, not to mention that the reason why Su Chen was angry was because he was worried that she, Gu Qianyin, would be in danger and get hurt.

However, if Princess Xiling was just left there and ignored, it seemed a bit cruel to her.

In this way, time passed slowly under Gu Qianyin's dilemma.

In the afternoon, the three of them had almost finished their rest, so they all stood up and prepared to set off again.

Su Chen's expression was still indifferent, and he didn't say anything to Princess Xiling. Gu Qianyin saw this and suddenly said, "Su Chen, let's take a look at the silver moon beast cubs. Maybe they are hungry?"

Gu Qianyin proposed to see the silver moon beast cubs at this time, obviously to ease the atmosphere between Su Chen and Princess Xiling. After all, the silver moon beast cubs are so cute. Maybe Su Chen will forgive the princess after seeing them.

The four silver moon beast cubs were placed in a bamboo basket by Gu Qianyin. They stared with big black eyes, squeezed in the bamboo basket, made chirping sounds, and showed curious expressions to the three people.

It must be said that this silver moon beast is indeed a demon beast famous for its beauty. Even the cubs are very beautiful. The smooth white fur like satin and the single horn on the forehead all set off the temperament of this cub very noble.

Su Chen took a look and nodded in approval, saying, "The fur is snow-white without a trace of impurities, and the position of the horns is also very good. The blood purity of these four silver moon beast cubs should not be low."

"Really?" Gu Qianyin's expression was delighted, and his eyes looking at the four cubs became softer.

The blood purity of a monster beast is crucial to a monster beast, which is roughly equivalent to the cultivation talent of humans, and directly determines the growth potential of this monster beast.

Monster beasts with low blood purity have low potential and low future strength. Even if they are given more resources to cultivate, they will easily reach the upper limit. Monster beasts with high blood purity have high potential. As long as they are willing to spend resources, their future strength will also be terrifying.

Moreover, humans may be able to change their fate by practicing the best martial arts and taking natural treasures to break through the limitations of their natural cultivation talent. But for monster beasts, blood purity determines everything, which is difficult to change after birth.

The blood purity of these four young beasts is not low, which means that they have great growth potential in the future. If they are raised as their own monster pets, they will be a good help to themselves in the future.

"Su Chen, do you think they are hungry?" Gu Qianyin asked.

"They must be hungry after not eating for such a long time." Su Chen said, throwing a few pieces of monster meat left over from last night's roast into the bamboo basket.

As expected, several young beasts screamed and immediately pounced on them to fight for it.

What Gu Qianyin didn't expect was that these young beasts seemed to get along well with each other, but when there was food, they fought fiercely, as if they were fighting to the death.

Su Chen saw this scene and nodded, "As expected of monsters, they are more cruel than human warriors and pay more attention to the survival of the fittest."

Gu Qianyin didn't understand any of this and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Look at these four young beasts. Although they are born from the same mother, in fact, only one of them can survive in the end. This is still the most optimistic estimate. Maybe they will all die, and it is not certain that none of them will survive."

"Why is this so?"

"It's very simple, because this is the rule of the monster world." Su Chen said, "The living conditions of monsters determine that the resources they get are limited. It is impossible to distribute these limited resources evenly, because if they are distributed evenly, everyone's strength will be very low, and once they go outside, they will soon be killed by other monsters. "

"Therefore, the law of natural selection determines that among a litter of babies born by a mother beast, they will often fight to the death for food resources, and in the end only one will survive, and this baby will be able to get all the resources from the mother beast. In fact, I have said too much, because a mother beast cannot give birth to only one litter of babies in her lifetime, so the winner of this litter may have to continue to compete with the winners of other litters, and only one may survive in several litters."
