After a moment of silence, the Abyssal Emperor finally said with difficulty, "If I'm willing to sign an equal contract with you, will you be willing to help me?"
Upon hearing the Abyssal Emperor's words, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but be taken aback as a glint flashed across his eyes.
Although Chu Xingyun actually had a plan for the Abyssal Race, he didn't expect it to be realized in a short period of time.
Chu Xingyun's plan was very simple, which was to first transplant the Arrow Bamboos and help the Abyssal Emperor expand his army.
Once the expansion was completed, the safety of the Arrow Bamboos and the Abyssal Emperor would determine the survival of the Abyssal Race.
By then, Chu Xingyun would have the power to control the life and death of the entire Abyssal Race.
As long as he didn't do anything, the Arrow Bamboos would wither and die one after another, and the Abyssal Race would definitely kill each other due to the lack of food and walk towards destruction.
By then, the Abyssal Race would only be able to act according to Chu Xingyun's wishes. Even the Abyssal Emperor wouldn't dare to defy Chu Xingyun in the slightest.
However, he didn't expect the Abyssal Emperor to think so deeply and so far so quickly.
After looking at the Abyssal Emperor in admiration, Chu Xingyun shook his head and said, "The equal contract won't work. Under the equal contract, I won't be able to stop you even if you want to attack the Human Race."
Upon hearing Chu Xingyun's reply, the Abyssal Emperor was speechless.
He wanted to make a heart demon oath to never attack the Human Race, but that wouldn't work. Who knew if the Human Race would invade? Could it be that he wouldn't fight back?
Moreover, the reason Chu Xingyun valued the Abyssal Race so much was that he also wanted to borrow the power of the Abyssal Race. Hence, neither side would be satisfied with such an oath.
Although the Abyssal Emperor didn't want to admit it, he knew that Chu Xingyun's intelligence was far above his.
While he was thinking, the Abyss Emperor said, "I know you're smart and have a lot of ideas, so I'll leave it to you to think of a solution. No matter what, I hope to cooperate with you."
In the face of the Abyss Emperor's request, Chu Xingyun frowned and hesitated, unwilling to speak.
Seeing this, the Abyssal Emperor hurriedly said, "Just tell me what you think. With our relationship, you don't have to hide anything."
Taking a deep breath, Chu Xingyun said, "There is actually a way, but you have to promise me that you won't get angry no matter what. You have to calm down and think about it. Only then will I tell you."
Looking at Chu Xingyun in confusion, the Abyssal Emperor said, "I don't understand why I'm angry. Even if you asked me to be your servant, I wouldn't be angry."
This …
Looking at the Abyssal Emperor speechlessly, Chu Xingyun really couldn't understand his thoughts.
If this was the human Emperor, Chu Xingyun would have gone to him and asked him to be his servant. The Emperor would have killed him on the spot without hesitation.
Although he didn't understand, Chu Xingyun was relieved.
Looking deeply at the Abyssal Emperor, Chu Xingyun said, "Have you heard of the Beastkin Clan's Beast Contract?"
Beast Contract?
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, the Abyssal Emperor was at a loss. Obviously … he had never heard of the Beast Contract.
Looking at the confused Abyssal Emperor, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but shake his head.
Thinking about it carefully, the only entrance to this place was the passage in the Windless Abyss, and the entrance to the passage had always been in the human territory.
Therefore, the Abyssal Emperor had never come into contact with the Beastkin Clan, let alone know what the Beastkin Clan's Beast Contract was.
After organizing his words, Chu Xingyun explained, "The so-called Beast Contract is a contract signed between the Beastkin Clan and the powerful Beastkin Clan."
The Beast Contract is a contract based on the will of the Beastkin Clan, and there are restrictions on both parties.
As the Beast Lord, he must provide abundant resources and vigorously cultivate the Beast.
In return, the Beast must fight for the Beast Lord.
In the face of Chu Xingyun's explanation, the Abyssal Emperor hesitated and asked, "What does the Beast Contract mean by abundant resources?"
Shaking his head, Chu Xingyun said, "There's no special meaning. What the specific resources are and how abundant they are are specifically agreed upon by both parties when signing the contract."
Some Beastkin Clan only asked for blood, as long as they were provided with food.
And some Beastkin Clan asked for Spirit Stones, Spirit Grass, and even living creatures.
After a pause, Chu Xingyun said, "To put it simply, this is actually a permanent employment relationship. One party provides the money, and the other party provides the manpower."
Hearing Chu Xingyun's brief but vivid explanation, the Abyssal Emperor suddenly understood.
Looking at Chu Xingyun hesitantly, the Abyssal Emperor said, "If you and I reach a Beast Contract, then you must provide me with a large number of Arrow Bamboos, and when you need them, I must fight for you. Is that what you mean?"
Nodding, Chu Xingyun said, "Yes, you can agree on the specific number of Arrow Bamboos. As long as I reach it, you must fight for me. Even if it is incomparably dangerous, you must not back down."
Looking at Chu Xingyun in shock, the Abyssal Emperor said, "I don't understand. What's the difference between this and employment?"
Shaking his head, Chu Xingyun said, "Of course there is a difference. First of all, this employment is permanent. Once the contract is reached, it will be valid for life."
Moreover, if it's employment, you have the right to refuse. If the battle is too dangerous, you may not accept the employment, right?
Shaking his head, the Abyssal Emperor said, "We, the Abyssal Clan, have never been afraid of danger. Even if we know that we will die, we will never back down."
Looking deeply at Chu Xingyun, the Abyssal Emperor said, "If you can really provide us with enough Arrow Bamboos, then I am willing to reach a Beast Contract with you."
This …
Looking at the Abyssal Emperor hesitantly, although he wanted to sign the contract immediately, in order to avoid future conflicts, there were many things that must be explained in advance.
Looking cautiously at the Abyssal Emperor, Chu Xingyun said, "You better think carefully. Once the contract is reached, you can't start a war at will. The Abyssal army can only fight for me."
Waving his sharp claws impatiently, the Abyssal Emperor said, "I never care about who I fight for, why do you care so much about this?"
Looking at the Abyssal Emperor in confusion, Chu Xingyun said, "Could it be that all the wars you start are without a goal?"
Shaking his head, the Abyssal Emperor said, "How can there be no goal? We have two goals, one is for food, and the other is for evolution. "
After a pause, the Abyssal Emperor said, "If you can provide enough Arrow Bamboos, then we don't need to fight for food. In this way, there is only one goal left, and that is — evolution.
Hearing the explanation of the Abyssal Emperor, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Most of the Insect Clan's wars were for predation. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing to the people, and the Insect Clan was the same.
However, not all the Insect Clan's wars were for predation.
Take the Abyssal Beetles for example, they fed on the stems of plants and did not eat other underground creatures at all.
They did not treat each other as food, but still fought bitterly endlessly for the sake of evolution.
In the Abyssal World, the strong preyed on the weak. If one could not continue to evolve and become stronger, one would inevitably be eliminated.
Predation was for the sake of survival.
