Lu Zhou asked,
"Isn't the level of a Birth Chart Beast determined by its life aura and size?"
Xiao Yunhe nodded.
"That's true for ordinary Birth Chart Beasts. However, it's different for Birth Chart Beasts that possess intelligence. They understand the cultivation methods of humans, know how to deceive and conceal themselves … These two types of Birth Chart Beasts can no longer be distinguished. The Birth Chart Heart of these Birth Chart Beasts was extremely precious, and many cultivators wanted to get their hands on them. Unfortunately, these Birth Chart Beasts are bound to be rare and difficult to obtain. "
Lu Zhou nodded.
"Did the people from the White Tower set up an array here to capture the Birth Chart Beast?"
Jiang Jiuli said,
"To tell you the truth, the Black Tower and the White Tower have already fallen out. The White Tower originally wouldn't have appeared in the Red Lotus Summoning South. Since the beginning of this year, they had been thinking of ways to devour the Black Tower's territory. The Zhaonan area was gradually invaded by the White Tower. "
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou said, "The thickness of the Black and White Tower's skin has exceeded my expectations. Since when did the red and golden lotus domains become your territory? "
"…"
Jiang Jiuli blushed and didn't dare to speak.
Lu Zhou said.
"You knew that this place was occupied by the White Tower, so why did you still dare to come here?"
"This …"
"There really is something wrong with you."
Jiang Jiuli quickly bowed and said in fear and trepidation, "I'm fine. I came here because I received news that there would be a special Birth Chart Beast here, so I came to investigate. I didn't expect to meet your disciple here. After all, I'm a member of the Black Tower, and there are many things that I can't control. Even so, I don't have the slightest intention to harm your disciple. If there is even the slightest hint of a lie, may I be struck by lightning. "
He had no other choice but to swear an oath.
Lu Zhou's gaze lingered on him for a moment before he asked, "What Birth Chart Beast is this?"
Jiang Jiuli sighed. It was obvious that he could no longer hide the truth. He said, "This Natal Chart Beast is called Yingzhao. Only a few cultivators have seen it. I don't know what it looks like, but the council gave me a mission, so I came. Yingzhao does have intelligence, but it's only at the level of an ordinary teenager. "
Over ten years old …
This level of intelligence was quite high.
"How did you know it would appear here, then?" Lu Zhou asked curiously.
In a city inhabited by humans, after a human cultivator made a breakthrough, they would attract some Ferocious Beasts nearby. Birth Chart Beasts from the Nine-leaf stage to the Ten-leaf stage. But not in the Fringe. It was not easy for the Black and White Tower to obtain the information about the appearance of such intelligent beasts.
"This … I don't know," Jiang Jiuli replied awkwardly.
Xiao Yunhe smiled.
"Actually, Ferocious Beasts are the same as humans. There are strong and weak beasts, and there are also ranks. Every once in a while, the number of Ferocious Beasts will increase to a certain number. Humans established their kingship through war, and so did the beasts. If some powerful beasts wanted to challenge the old royal authority, they would have to issue a challenge.
"Unlike humans, the Ferocious Beasts have a sense of territory. When these territorial Ferocious Beasts are conquered by more powerful Ferocious Beasts, their sense of territory will disappear, and a powerful royal authority will be born.
"It's true that the high-rank Ferocious Beasts are intelligent, but the mid-rank and low-rank Ferocious Beasts they control are not. Hence, the war is more brutal. Every year, the Black and White Tower would send people into the depths of the forests to set up observation Formations. They would often observe and record the number of Ferocious Beasts."
Lu Zhou asked curiously, "They can't find out with their intelligence?"
"They know that humans are more intelligent … However, there are too few high-rank Ferocious Beasts. They can't do that," Xiao Yunhe said.
Jiang Jiuli said, "Pagoda Master Xiao knows more."
After all, he was the former Pagoda Master.
"You're saying that there will be a war between the Ferocious Beasts in the Fringe of Zhao Nan?" Lu Zhou asked in shock.
"That's right. Under such circumstances, humans are usually smarter. They won't participate in the war and will only sit back and enjoy the benefits. Yingzhao Beasts have been seen here before. Hence, the Black and White Tower deduced that this intelligent Ferocious Beast is Yingzhao Beasts. Even if it's intelligent, it's only a child in its teens in the eyes of adults. How can it fight against humans? "
At this moment, Yu Zhenghai, who had been silent all this while, said, "You make it sound like humans have the upper hand, and the Ferocious Beasts are pitiful."
"It's about the same."
Xiao Yunhe sighed and said, "Throughout history, high-rank Ferocious Beasts have launched many attacks on human cities. Countless humans have died, and blood has flowed like rivers. In general, the Ferocious Beasts have the upper hand. There are too many of them. Their shadows can be seen in the sea, on land, and in the sky. On the other hand, the Ferocious Beasts are the only thing that humans are proud of. They're wasted on internal strife. "
"…"
Xiao Yunhe's words reminded Lu Zhou of Lu Li and Yan Zhenluo.
In the cultivation world or not, even in modern civilized society, humans were able to stand at the top of the food chain because of their intelligence.
There was a saying that humans' greatest enemy was themselves.
"I'm very interested in such a Birth Chart Beast," Lu Zhou said.
Xiao Yunhe and Jiang Jiuli were speechless.
"Do you have any questions?"
"No … no."
The two of them smiled.
They did not dare to.
At this moment, Wu Chao returned and said, "The treatment is complete. These poisonous spikes are extremely insidious. Fortunately, they can't fool my eyes. They'll be full of vigor after recuperating for a month. "
He turned to look at Yu Shangrong. Yu Shangrong's shoulder was wrapped in cloth.
His complexion was much better now.
If they did not see him fight the Three Birth Charts of a Thousand Worlds with the strength of a Ten-leaf cultivator, they would not have believed that he was capable of such a feat.
Xiao Yunhe smiled faintly.
"Brother Lu, Wu Chao is the person you went after previously. In consideration of what happened today, can you spare him this time?"
Wu Chao hastily bowed and smiled obsequiously.
Lu Zhou glanced at him and said, "I'm not an unreasonable person. If someone shows me respect, I'll return the favor tenfold."
He produced an elementary-grade Birth Chart Heart from his pouch and placed it in Xiao Yunhe's hand.
"This is what the two of you deserve."
Xiao Yunhe. "…"
Wu Chao. "…"
Lu Zhou asked, puzzled, "You don't like it?"
Although I don't need this Elementary Life Providence Heart, I have a bunch of disciples who are waiting for it. Even an elementary-grade Birth Chart Heart would be a treasure that everyone in the cultivation world would fight for.
"No, no, no … This item is too valuable. I didn't do anything. I can't accept an undeserved reward, "Xiao Yunhe said.
This was probably the most untrue thing he had ever said in his life.
After all, he was once an expert with 12 Birth Charts. Although he only had seven Birth Charts left, he did not think much of an elementary-grade Birth Chart Heart. Otherwise, he would not have gone through so much trouble to come to the red lotus domain.
Wu Chao's expression contorted when he heard this. The elementary-grade Birth Chart Heart was not bad for him. It happened to be a flying beast with the ability to fly. However, since Pagoda Master Xiao had said he could not accept it, he was too embarrassed to ask for it.
"That won't do. I can't take back something that I've given away. Take it, "Lu Zhou said.
When Xiao Yunhe saw Lu Zhou's insistence, he could not insist. He said, "Very well. In that case, I'll accept it shamelessly."
Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction.
"If you feel bad about it, you can keep it … I'm very interested in that special Birth Chart Beast."
Xiao Yunhe. "…"
It seemed like he had made a loss for the Birth Chart Heart.
