The donkey and horse beast was twice as large as a normal horse and could seat two people at the same time. After Guan Jie got up, the fire phoenix immediately followed. "Yao Yao, I will go with Guan Jie, I can protect him."
Guan Jie looked at Ye Zhen eagerly. He wanted to be with her, not the fire phoenix.
"Well, then I will go with Fan Fan." Ye Zhen said. With the fire phoenix and Guan Jie together, she was more at ease.
"No problem, I will look after Guan Jie." The fire phoenix promised.
Ye Zhen glanced at the donkey and horse beast around her and frowned. "Will this frighten the people?"
"Let's take the path, we won't often meet the people." Wu Sheng whispered.
"Nowadays, what demon beasts have the people not seen? How do we know if the demon beasts have hurt innocent people?"
Hearing White Tiger's words, Ye Zhen pondered for a moment. "Well, what White Tiger said makes sense. Nowadays, there are demon beasts everywhere. The common people have seen even more terrible demon beasts. It's not a big deal to see donkeys and horses. Let's go to the capital.
"Listen to you." Wu Sheng said.
They rode the donkey and horse beast to the capital city. On the way, they met pedestrians. Although it was eye-catching, it was still normal. It was just that everyone cherished their donkey and horse beast. Some businessmen even took the initiative to do business with them.
"There are people who want to buy demon beasts …" The fire phoenix said curiously. Even if it was just a donkey and horse beast, it was still a demon beast. Mortals were really not afraid of death.
"What's the point of buying demon beasts? There were mortals who thought that eating demon beasts could make them stronger." Fan Fan said with a smile.
"Eat demon beasts?" Ye Zhen was stunned. She pressed Fan Fan's shoulder. "Are you serious?"
Fanfan was sitting in front of Ye Zhen. She looked back at Ye Zhen and smiled. Her smile was still sweet, but it didn't reach her eyes, making her look a little sad. "Yes, not all demon beasts have strong attack power. Some demon beasts are very weak, and mortals catch them …" Fanfan was sitting in front of Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen's heart was greatly shocked. In her opinion, although demon beasts were beasts, they could speak and think. Even if they might be hostile to mortals, it was one thing to fight and kill on the battlefield, but eating them in the stomach was something she could not accept.
"Mortals not only eat demonic beasts, they even want to drink the blood of Blood Demons. It is said that it can cure all poisons and strengthen the body." Ji Shen said, "Hmph, if it wasn't for the fact that mortals can't compare to monstrous beasts and Blood Demons in terms of battle prowess, we would have all been eaten up."
"Nonsense!" Ye Rou scolded. "How can mortals eat humans!"
"Not everyone is like that, but there are some … who are different."
Ye Zhen took a deep breath, "That was before. The mortals of the past were like savages, different from today."
"Mortals are mortals, there is no difference," Shu Li said coldly.
"Of course it's different," Ye Rou said calmly. "Those mortals who eat demon beasts are not humans, they are beasts."
Woo Sheng said in a low voice, "Don't talk about what happened in the past. Those are just isolated incidents. Not all mortals are like that."
Ye Zhen glanced at Wolong Sheng. Although he said this to comfort her, she still felt uncomfortable when she heard such a thing.
She couldn't imagine what it was like for mortals to eat demon beasts.
Demon beasts were different from animals. Demon beasts could already transform into human beings. Although their nature was different, they could already think and have souls like human beings. She couldn't imagine how mortals could eat them.
"Little Yao, you don't have to think too much about it. The mortals of the past were really like savages. They didn't know etiquette and shame as mortals do now. At that time, as long as they could survive, they could do anything." Fan Fan comforted Ye Zhen, knowing that she was frightened.
The mortals of tens of thousands of years ago were indeed different from those of today.
"I know." Ye Zhen responded in a low voice. Although it happened tens of thousands of years ago, she felt that if it were now, perhaps there would still be people who would do the same.
"We can see the city wall. Let's rest first." Wolong Sheng said.
With donkeys and horses as mounts, they were indeed much faster and steadier than riding horses. The journey that would have taken them a day took them half a day.
Ye Zhen was more worried about whether Guan Jie could adapt. She looked up at him and asked, "Guan Jie, what do you think?"
"Very good." Guan Jie said. He jumped down and stood in front of Ye Zhen with an innocent smile on his face.
"It's good that you're all right." Ye Zhen felt his pulse and was relieved to make sure that his internal injury had not worsened.
Fire Phoenix curled his lips and said, "He is with me. Can I let anything happen to him?"
Ye Zhen patted Fire Phoenix on the shoulder. "Yes, thanks to you."
"I can do it myself." Guan Jie whispered.
"Be careful not to be eaten by the demon beasts." Fire Phoenix made a face.
Ye Zhen looked at them with a smile. "Come on, let's go into the city."
"Wait!" White Tiger pulled Ye Zhen's arm. "Don't go in."
"What's wrong?" Ye Zhen asked doubtfully.
White Tiger looked at the city gate vigilantly. "The breath is not right."
"Why don't we feel anything wrong?" Ji Shen cried.
Wolong Sheng had already walked to the front of the city gate. There were no guards outside the gate, and it seemed that there were few people coming and going. It should be because they were close to the border.
"Yao Yao." Fire Phoenix no longer cared about quarreling with Guan Jie. He came to Ye Zhen's side and whispered, "There is no breath of mortals."
No mortals? Impossible! There are still fireworks inside, how can there be no mortals?
"Wolong Sheng, do you think something is wrong?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
"They are spiritual beasts and are more sensitive." Wolong Sheng said, implying that although he felt something was wrong, he could not tell exactly what it was.
Shu Li glanced at them indifferently. "If you are afraid, you don't have to follow us in."
"Who said we are afraid!" Fire Phoenix shouted.
"We are cautious." White Tiger said coldly.
Ye Zhen said, "If there is something wrong, we really need to be more vigilant."
After all, they encountered many demon beasts along the way. Some demon beasts automatically retreated after recognizing Wolong Sheng's identity. Some just wanted to provoke them. Although the end was not good, it could be seen that many demon beasts were no longer afraid of Wolong Sheng.
In the past, demon beasts had to listen to Blood Demon.
"Well, be careful." Wolong Sheng nodded. In any case, they still had to enter the city.
The streets of the city were faintly lit with fireworks, but it was obvious that there were people living here. Although it was not as prosperous as the capital, it was already very good to have such a scene at the border.
White Tiger and Fire Phoenix were spiritual beasts, so their breaths were more obvious. They looked at each other. Just now, an old man passed by them, but they did not feel his breath.
He was not human, but how could he not have the breath of a demon beast?!
