Chapter 243: Jungler

In the deep wild area, with lush grass and silence, this dangerous place regarded by the soldiers as a restricted area in the canyon is particularly quiet today.

Hiss, hiss—

Accompanied by a rustling sound, something slowly poked out from the lush grass; it was a huge, ferocious leopard head.

This is one of the very famous wild monsters in the jungle, the Swift Shadow Leopard.

It is huge in size, with a height of a terrifying 1.5 meters. With purple fangs and spines, it can often bite off half of the body of an ordinary soldier, including the armor, with just one bite.

But such a swift leopard, which was as big as a lion and could chew iron like mud, was now like a frightened bird. It not only lost its former kingly demeanor, but its face was also covered with messy scars.

It looked around vigilantly at first, and then when it was about to come out of the grass, a chameleon's head suddenly popped out from the bushes opposite with a rustling sound.

"!!!"

Just like seeing a ghost on the road at night, the two wild monsters met each other unexpectedly, their eyes widened with exaggerated expressions, and stared at each other in amazement as if they were petrified.

(⊙＿⊙;)
A while passed like this, until the Swift Shadow Leopard was the first to discover that it was "the same species", and then the two wild monsters, who had been alarmed for a false alarm, breathed a sigh of relief in a very human way.

But then, a strange scene happened.

"Gu Gu."

"Hiss."

I saw two wild monsters of the same but different species, which usually always fought for their respective territories, were unexpectedly affectionate when they met again, with a feeling of sympathy for each other as if they had survived a disaster.

"Oh! Little brother, you are still alive?!"

"Yeah, Brother Leopard, you're not dead yet?"

That's probably it.
After licking each other's wounds, the two wild monsters fled away cautiously together, looking extremely embarrassed, just like wild animals that were tired of avoiding hunters.
Everything in the world has its own way of communication, humans and demons alike; although these mysterious and powerful mutant species cannot communicate with language like humans, they can also exchange information through smell, movement, sound and other means.

Recently, the term "jungler" has begun to appear among the various demon groups in this wild area.

These 'junglers' of unknown origin were far superior to the soldiers who had accidentally entered in the past. They were extremely powerful and had very clear goals. In just three days, they wiped out almost all of the former overlords of the jungle, from the blue boss to the Lizard King Shadow Leopard!
Although they didn't know what the benefits of doing so were, the demons that survived their escape gradually realized that the junglers came with the purpose of "clearing the wild area", so they fled and hid everywhere.

Because judging from the information transmitted between the various ethnic groups, up to now, those similar ethnic groups found by the "Junglers" have almost all suffered a devastating disaster!
Why do I keep using the word almost?
Because the only kind thing about the 'Junglers' is that they never kill the young demons.
And in the middle of this seemingly peaceful but actually turbulent wilderness, a column of smoke was rising slowly from the dense forest.

There were two soldiers, sitting in front of a blazing bonfire. One of them, who had a pair of red and black eyes, was roasting a bloody piece of meat on the flames with a spear. At his feet, a leopard cub, which was just born, was lying there.

Those were the cubs of a group of wild monsters that they had just killed.

"That's pretty much what happened. Anyway, I don't have any skills right now, and my level is as you can see, a LV1 rookie." Wang Yao flipped the gun handle in his hand so that the ribs he had just cut from the wild monster's ribs could be evenly roasted, and said to Zhao Yun who was sitting opposite him drinking water.

In the vast wild area, after three days, Wang Yao finally told Zhao Yun everything that had happened in the past few months.

All!

Zhao Yun, on the other hand, looked on with distress as he watched Wang Yao taking his Quick-Strike Spear to barbecue, while he seemed to be thinking about something.

"It's really amazing. I didn't expect that in addition to Jixia Academy, Zhuge could actually secretly promote you on his own."

Wang Yao glanced at Zhao Yun and said, "I think his greatest strength is that he knows almost everything. For example, he already knew that you are a hero."

Zhao Yun almost spit out a mouthful of water. He looked at Wang Yao in surprise, not knowing what to say for a long time.

Wang Yao said with a smile: "You were also shocked, right? But don't worry, I don't think that guy has any ill will towards you. However, Zhuge Liang seemed to have said that you had a close relationship with him in your previous life." Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yun suddenly changed the subject and asked: "Why have we been staying in this jungle area for the past three days instead of going online?"

Giving Zhao Yun a meaningful look, Wang Yao said, "Of course I want to save up enough gold coins to buy you a new piece of equipment. After all, you are the main output force now. But I didn't expect that the gold coins obtained from killing wild monsters would be so few!"

As Zhao Yun stared in astonishment, Wang Yao flipped open his phone and checked the amount of gold coins on the purchase screen. It showed 650 coins. He felt depressed. Did he really have to go to "that place"?
"If you want gold coins, wouldn't it be faster to go to the line and kill the soldiers?" Zhao Yun suggested.

Wang Yao rolled his eyes and said, "Please, how can I kill the soldiers knowing that they are just innocent victims deceived by some heroes? Unless it is necessary, I would rather kill as few as possible."

Zhao Yun suddenly realized: "So three days ago on the road, you were out of character and rarely took the initiative to clear the enemy's soldiers?"

At this moment, Wang Yao suddenly thrust the handle of the barbecue gun into Zhao Yun's hand and disappeared in a flash.

30 seconds later, Wang Yaocai emerged from the bushes in another direction, smelling the blood of a wild monster.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Yun asked with a confused look on his face.

"No, there's a swift leopard and a chameleon hiding over there. They seem to want to sneak past us and slip away." Wang Yao sat down and took the gun handle from Zhao Yun's hand. Seeing that the barbecue on it was almost cooked, he tore off half of it and threw it to Zhao Yun.

Then, Wang Yao looked down at the leopard cub lying at his feet, hesitated for a moment, and tore off a small piece of meat and handed it over: "Would you like some too?"

"Awooo!" The leopard cub immediately backed away with a look of fear on its face, shaking its head repeatedly. Although it was still small, it could smell the scent of its own kind on the cooked meat.

"Hmm? Uh, sorry, sorry, I forgot that this meat seemed to be cut from one of your people."

"Are you a devil?!" This scene made Zhao Yun, who was standing by, feel ashamed: "Why do I seem to understand you less and less?"

"How to say?"

"It feels like you say nice things, but actually do the exact opposite."

Zhao Yun said, "You keep saying that you want to liberate the soldiers, which shows that you have a kind heart. But in a sense, aren't the demons the same as the soldiers? There is no essential difference between you slaughtering them and slaughtering the soldiers. Why can you kill the demons but not the soldiers? They are all living things, why are they treated differently? I really don't know whether you have become more kind or cruel.

Seeing Zhao Yun's serious expression, Wang Yao swallowed the wild monster meat in his mouth and asked, "Do you think I'm hypocritical or saintly now?"

"A little bit." Zhao Yun nodded frankly.

Wang Yao smiled and said, "This is actually the same as I like pets, but it doesn't mean I can't eat sheep, pigs and beef. I can kill the demons because I don't have the opportunity to get to know them. I don't kill the soldiers because I know their difficult situation and have an emotional understanding and connection with them.

You can't have a crush on everyone in the world just because you like someone, right? Similarly, I can't be kind to the soldiers, so I have to be merciful to monsters or even enemies. Humans are actually creatures controlled by emotions. I will protect everything that has an emotional connection with me. As for other things, they are not within my consideration. After all, if you really want to look into it, who can tell who is right and who is wrong throughout history? "

Zhao Yun was left speechless.

But he had to admit that at this moment he was still very impressed by the depth of Wang Yao's thoughts.

"Okay, enough of the small talk. Now that we've had our fill, it's time to get down to business." Wang Yao said as he covered the bonfire with soil to prevent it from causing a forest fire.

"Where to?"

"Middle!"

In this alien world, there is no such thing as a "jungler" due to various restrictions. Wang Yao, as a new concept that combines the characteristics of multiple heroes, has finally found his own position in the canyon after a period of exploration; that is, the jungler.

What is Jungler?

Of course it's roaming around the three lanes, setting the pace, and carrying the whole game!
