Chapter 1187 Humanity, the Answer
Since the third brother was able to find the monster so quickly, there is a high possibility that the old man is with the monster.
After all, the third brother’s biggest advantage is that he can see monsters.
"So bold?"
Zhuge Yun clicked his tongue and said, "The monster didn't do anything to that old man?"
"correct."
Zhuge Yun suddenly had an idea. "The old man didn't fall into a coma due to drowning, so-"
"Is he unconscious because of something that the monster did to him?"
The more he talked, the more he felt it made sense, and his expression couldn't help but reveal a bit of excitement.
"No."
Unfortunately, Xiao Xiao's answer was like a bucket of cold water that extinguished the flame of excitement in his heart.
"Ah, isn't it?"
He was a little disappointed.
He thought he had guessed the truth.
"Then Third Brother, the monster didn't do anything to the old man?"
Such a good-tempered one?
Zhao Lu was puzzled.
“It saved the old man.”
Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, "If it weren't for it, the old man would probably have died by the time I got there."
"Oh."
Zhang Bo and others nodded blankly.
"and many more."
Zhuge Yun suddenly realized something was wrong, "The monster saved the old man's life."
"but-"
"But the old man wants to kill it and eat its meat?"
Xiao Xiao was silent.
However, Zhuge Yun didn't need Xiao Xiao to say anything.
Because the facts are clear.
"Tsk tsk, this is true."
Zhuge Yun shook his head.
"Does the old man know that the monster saved him?"
Zhao Luzheng asked.
"I told him."
Xiao Xiao thought of the old man's changing eyes at that time, as well as his doubt and unwillingness to admit it.
"Then he-"
Zhao Luzheng didn't say anything else, but everyone understood what he wanted to ask.
"The monster's meat has no effect on the old man's illness."
Xiao Xiao answered the question irrelevantly.
Zhao Luzheng and the others were stunned, but they quickly understood what Xiao Xiao meant.
"Is it because it's useless that you gave up?"
"Isn't this... a bit ungrateful?"
Zhuge Yun curled his lips and added, "Although I understand..."
Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng did not say anything, but their expressions showed that they agreed with Zhuge Yun's words.
It’s just, “Understanding is understanding.”
Zhao Luzheng frowned, "This approach..."
"Anyway, nothing happened in the end."
Zhang Bo shrugged, "Monster meat is useless."
"The old man won't be thinking about eating its meat anymore."
"Isn't this good?"
"Even if the old man wants to eat it, he can't catch the monster, right?"
Zhao Lu was mumbling.
Don't talk like this now as if he can catch the monster if he wants to.
"That's true."
Zhang Bo nodded, "Fortunately, the monster is kind-hearted, otherwise, just knowing that the old man had this idea, he might not get any good results."
"If I knew the person I rescued was planning on me, I would have beaten that guy to death."
Zhuge Yun curled his lips.
"Fortunately, that monster is much more tolerant than you."
Zhang Bo's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Although the old man's behavior was a bit unkind, one still has to sigh when thinking about his situation.
"Anyway, there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides."
"No matter what the old man does, he can't threaten that monster."
"Whether you despise me or feel sympathy for me, the monster should just treat it as a good deed and stop arguing with the old man."
"Boss, your idea is not fair at all."
Zhuge Yun teased.
"I can't help it. Who told me I'm human?"
Zhang Bo spread his hands.
"This way, neither side is hurt, isn't that great?" "Didn't that monster do the same thing?"
……
"Maybe the monster let it go for the sake of the third brother."
Zhuge Yun had a new guess.
"Isn't that right, Third Brother?"
he asked for confirmation.
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly, "That's a gentle monster."
Like a kind and honest elder.
He remained calm despite the old man's pursuit and constant harassment.
They even lent a helping hand when the old man was in danger.
It says: This is a little treat for those who can see it.
Even without him, nothing would happen to the old man.
……
"The monster has a kind heart."
Zhao Luzheng murmured in a low voice, "It's a pity that people's hearts are not kind."
“This is actually human nature.”
Zhuge Yun grinned.
If anyone else were in the old man's position and if the monster's flesh really had magical effects, there was no guarantee that they would be willing to give up the idea of killing their savior.
The desire for life overwhelms everything.
For most people.
When you die, there is nothing.
Death is the end.
……
Staying alive is more important than anything else.
Many times it is a sentence with positive meaning, but in some cases it is somewhat ambiguous.
……
“Human nature.”
Zhang Bo sighed.
There is no sarcasm, and there is no praise.
Just a straightforward statement.
He had long known that light is always accompanied by shadows, and that human nature has more than just its glorious side.
He is not a child anymore, and he will not make a fuss or get indignant when he sees something happening that is not in line with the values in the book.
In some matters, he was not actually qualified to question.
For example, just now, he stood on the old man's side.
Of course.
They are all human.
He also witnessed the old man's paranoia and madness with his own eyes.
People always sympathize with the weak and criticize the strong.
And, he knew-
If the old man really caught the monster and ate its flesh, he might just criticize the old man's actions and would not pay any more attention to it.
After all, this matter ended with the old man's happy ending.
As for the monsters that were eaten and the characters that left the stage, who would remember them?
……
He suddenly felt that he was a little scary.
Fortunately, "the monster's meat has no effect on the old man's illness."
……
Xiao Xiao turned and looked at the blue sea.
The sea is vast and boundless.
Sparkles of light flicker between the waves.
"hiss~"
Xiao Xiao placed his hand on the side of the boat, and the white snake stood up and raised its head. Its bright red vertical pupils looked even more icy against the backdrop of the sea and sky.
"Master Xiao Xiao."
"I'm a little curious."
"if-"
"The monster's flesh can indeed cure human diseases..."
"Hiss~, what would you do?"
……
The little white fox half opened its eyes and turned to look at Xiao Xiao's face.
The sunlight fell into its rosy red pupils, and the dazzling light concealed some ambiguous emotions in its eyes.
……
The eyes under Taotie's armpits opened, but after a few breaths, they closed again.
However, the lazy air around him was swept away.
The corners of his mouth were stretched wide, revealing some ferocious sharp teeth.
It was also somewhat curious about the human's answer.
