Chapter 247: Abel: There were always troublemakers trying to harm me! Steal my gold!
"Carefree?
These beasts had their fate sealed from the very beginning.
They were destined to be fattened up and then become delicacies on our tables, and you actually say they're carefree?"
The middle-aged man looked speechless at those words.
"Yes, precisely because they're so stupid. At least they're carefree before they die, unlike us humans.
The more we know and the more we experience, the more troubled we become."
"Heh... I really don't understand you young people.
But from the looks of it, you two lost your families to the Beast Tide, didn't you?
Whatever happens, we all have to look ahead.
Under the leadership of the great Lord Xiluo, we'll surely live happy, wonderful lives.
You two youngsters are good-looking. You could find yourselves partners soon and have children, to help you emerge from the gloom.
Start a new life."
The middle-aged man offered them advice.
"We will..." the young man replied with a smile.
After a little more idle conversation, the middle-aged man slowly left.
The young man who had been doing all the talking turned toward the scholarly-looking man beside him.
"How's it going, Rèla'er?
Have you collected the lingering souls of those slaughtered beasts? How many were there this time?"
These two were none other than remnants of the Faluo Family.
Pake and Rèla'er.
"All collected. This time there were twelve Earth Boars, 380 hares, and twelve Antlered Deer. Together with the previous ones, that should just about cover your trade, right?"
Rèla'er exhaled softly and handed Pake a black stone.
It was a Soul Stone, used to absorb and imprison souls.
"That's enough!"
Pake's face lit up, and he immediately took it.
Then he closed his eyes.
Only a moment passed.
