Beasts' distrust of humans ran far deeper than humanity's distrust of beasts.
In human eyes, beasts embodied savagery, brutality, and wildness.
But in the eyes of beasts, humanity's savagery, brutality, and wildness far surpassed their own. Worse still, humans deceived and schemed against one another, trimmed their sails to the wind, paid lip service while harboring betrayal, and tore down bridges once they had crossed them—among countless other vile faults.
For this reason, divine beasts that possessed the ability to protect themselves would never associate with humans.
In their eyes, even with transcendent power, they could not guard against humanity's endless schemes and calculations.
Iron-Eating Beasts cultivated by devouring divine iron, making them a rather special kind of divine beast.
The speed of their cultivation depended on how much divine iron they could obtain.
However, divine iron was often contained within divine iron mines, while high-quality mines were hidden beneath the surface rock layers. Iron-Eating Beasts could not mine divine iron ore on their own, much less refine divine iron themselves.
Thus, they could only gnaw at the divine iron ore exposed on the surface, slowly absorbing the divine iron within through their bodies to achieve their cultivation goals.
If someone could provide them with pure divine iron, it would undoubtedly be an enormous help to them.
Therefore, Jiang Feng's proposed deal held an irresistible allure for any Iron-Eating Beast.
But trading with humans was, in the eyes of any divine beast, like seeking a tiger's skin!
Humanity's many vile traits left them with no trust in humans whatsoever.
Every divine beast capable of ascending to the Divine Realm had accumulated abundant cultivation experience in the Immortal Sacred Realm and the mortal world. Throughout their cultivation journeys, they had likely long been filled with every sort of human vice.
