Chapter 286: Selecting Cubs

"This is the iron law of the demon beast world. No one can change it. Even if the mother beast loves her cubs, she can only watch them kill each other. Because only in this way can the demon beasts of her own lineage survive in nature for a long time. If they do not follow this law, they must be the lowest level demon beasts, just like carrion rats and gold-eating insects, which are at the bottom of the food chain."

What Su Chen said is the most common situation in the demon beast world. Of course, there are exceptions, but they are very few.

Gu Qianyin was surprised and said, "So that's it. The more powerful and high-level demon beasts are, the fewer they are. So there is such a reason."

Xiling County Lord on the side also had a thoughtful look in her beautiful eyes. She didn't expect Su Chen to know so much.

However, when she thought about how Su Chen had accurately healed Jiang Lao's injuries when they first met, Xiling County Lord felt that it was not surprising that Su Chen knew so much.

Seeing Su Chen's confident and eloquent appearance, the whole person seemed to radiate a kind of brilliance, which also made Xiling County Lord's eyes tremble slightly unconsciously.

Gu Qianyin was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "In fact, human warriors are not the same. They also kill each other every day for resources. The only difference between humans and monsters is that they are not limited to the scope of a nest, but a city, a place, and a country. But in fact, the essence is also killing each other."

Su Chen showed a trace of surprise. He didn't expect Gu Qianyin to see the problem so thoroughly. From the rules of the monster world, he extended it to the phenomenon of human warriors.

With such a perspective and such a height, she is worthy of being the future giant of the Yunyuan Empire, Fairy Qingyin.

Su Chen nodded and agreed with Gu Qianyin, saying, "You are right. Human warriors are no less fierce than monsters in their fight for resources. They even use more cruel and unscrupulous means than monsters."

Gu Qianyin's face flushed with Su Chen's praise. After thinking for a while, she said, "So, did we save these four cubs? If they continue to live with their mother, at most one can survive. If we bring them out to raise them, maybe all four can survive."

Su Chen said, "Not necessarily. Monsters are naturally eager for powerful strength. If you don't train them well and their strength doesn't reach the level it should have, then they won't be happy. Only if you train them well and let their strength exceed the level it should have, will they be happy."

As they talked, the three of them looked at the four cubs fighting for food in the bamboo basket. One of them looked particularly energetic. It was the largest and the most ferocious in fighting for food. It snatched most of the roasted meat.

Su Chen pointed at the spirited young animal and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, this young animal should be the one that survived in the nest."

"Indeed."

Gu Qianyin nodded in agreement.

However, at this moment, Gu Qianyin's eyes fell on another young animal in the corner of the bamboo basket. This young animal was the smallest, with a messy fur color, looked sick, half-closed its eyes, and did not fight for food like the other young animals.

This appearance formed a sharp contrast with the largest young animal.

Gu Qianyin's compassion was unconsciously aroused. She bit her red lips and looked at the largest cub reluctantly. Then she pointed at the smallest and sickly cub and said, "Then, I will raise the smallest one. I only want this one. You can choose the other cubs."

Gu Qianyin thought that if she chose the smallest cub, Su Chen would definitely oppose it. After all, no matter how you look at it, this cub is the worst among the four cubs. Even if she didn't choose the one with the biggest and most energetic head, she shouldn't choose it. She couldn't choose it anyway.

Gu Qianyin didn't want to choose this cub, but she didn't know why. When her eyes came into contact with this cub, a maternal instinct in her heart was aroused. She felt that she had an obligation to take care of this sick cub.

However, Su Chen unexpectedly did not object. Instead, he looked at the sickly young beast thoughtfully, smiled, and said, "If you are willing to raise it, then you must raise it well."

Gu Qianyin did not expect Su Chen to not object. She immediately smiled and nodded heavily, "I will."

After saying that, Gu Qianyin said to Su Chen, "You and the princess can choose the remaining three young beasts."

Su Chen shook his head, "I am too lazy to take care of these newborn young beasts. It is too troublesome. If the princess likes them, take all three away."

The plan to steal the young beasts was proposed by Princess Xiling, and the magic medicine was also provided by Princess Xiling. From this perspective, there is nothing wrong with her getting a few more young beasts.

However, Gu Qianyin did not expect that Su Chen spent so much effort to save the two of them, and in the end he did not want any of the Silver Moon Beast cubs.

In fact, the reason why Su Chen did not want them was very simple, that is, he was really not interested. In his eyes, at least the bloodline of the divine beasts of the heavens, or the four sacred beasts, can be in his eyes.

Although the Silver Moon Beast is very good, it is not enough for Su Chen.

Moreover, Su Chen went to save the two women without thinking too much, just purely for the sake of saving people. He did not intend to take credit for it and ask for more spoils.

There was also a hint of complexity in the beautiful eyes of Princess Xiling. Obviously, she did not expect that after blaming her, Su Chen would generously give all three cubs to her to raise.

For a moment, Princess Xiling felt that her previous act of ignoring Su Chen out of anger seemed a bit petty.

After all, it was her fault at the beginning. She did not tell Su Chen about wanting to explore the nest of the Silver Moon Beast, so he would naturally be unhappy.

She ignored Su Chen because he scolded her, which seemed to lack the grace that a princess should have.

Thinking of this, Princess Xiling took a deep breath, let go of her previous awkwardness, and smiled: "Then, all the materials obtained from the Silver Moon Beast just now belong to Master Su Chen, and I will not take a penny."

Su Chen naturally would not have any objection to her saying this.

The three of them continued on their way, heading towards the center of the hunting ground.

The closer to the center of the hunting ground, the higher the level of the monsters. Of course, this is just a rough statistic, and the Silver Moon Beast just now is a special case.

In addition to the Silver Moon Beast, most of the powerful monsters that have reached the Transformation Realm are concentrated in the center of the hunting ground.

Therefore, the three of them went to the center of the hunting ground, intending to find some Transformation Realm monsters to practice with.
