The Two-Horned Lizard frowned and asked:
"Then why do you trust these two humans so much?"
"Because Lord Shen Heng is the person Lady Han Ling trusts the most!"
Stone said matter-of-factly.
"Furthermore, I've spent quite some time with Lord Shen Heng and the others!"
"Although Lord Shen Heng isn't as kind as Han Ling, he's still quite good to me. It's just that he's usually a bit strict; he not only makes me train, but he also spars with me, often leaving me feeling..."
He paused.
The Two-Horned Lizard only saw the Stone-Armored Beast, then suddenly glanced at the two humans in the distance with some fear, before hurriedly averting its gaze.
"What are you doing, sir?"... The Two-Horned Lizard frowned and asked, "Why do you do that all the time?"
"Uh, nothing?" the Stone-Armored Beast replied.
"Nonsense! I heard everything!" The Two-Horned Lizard frowned. "You said that Lord Shen Heng is usually very strict, not only requiring you to train but also sparring with you, training you to the point where you often do what?"
"Uh, I..."
The Stone-Armored Beast opened its mouth, its gaze fixed on the Two-Horned Lizard's serious expression.
Then, it turned its head to look into the distance, and then slowly withdrew its voice, saying:
"Although the training is tiring, I know that Lord Shen Heng is definitely doing it for my own good, to help me improve my strength as quickly as possible so that I can better deal with other Calamity Beast in the future."
"This can also be seen from the fact that Lady Han Ling trains me, though not as strictly as Lady Shen Heng."
"So, my attitude towards this kind of thing is actually..."
What nonsense is this guy spouting?
The Two-Horned Lizard frowned, its eyes filled with confusion as it looked at the Stone-Armored Beast before it.
After a long pause, Stone Tou finally finished speaking.
It glanced cautiously into the distance, then turned its gaze back to the Two-Horned Lizard lizard beside it.
It seemed to be pondering something.
Stone thought for a moment and said:
"Lord Two-Horned Lizard, why don't you completely pledge allegiance to us?"
"Huh? What did you say?" The Two-Horned Lizard snapped out of its daze, somewhat unable to believe what it had just heard.
Stone knew the other person must have heard him, but was somewhat incredulous, so he said:
"Look, following Lord Shen Heng and the others, we get food and lodging, they even teach us cultivation, and during wartime, they won't let us do anything too dangerous. This treatment is so much better than following other Calamity Beast lords!"
Stone, with his head slightly raised, spoke.
"You should have been able to roughly figure these things out these past few days, right?"
There was no response; the Two-Horned Lizard was deep in thought.
In the past few days, it has indeed been able to roughly discern that those humans have been quite kind to this Stone-Armored Beast.
Judging from the Stone-Armored Beast ' reaction, it didn't seem like they were faking it; they were probably just like that normally.
Thinking of this, the Two-Horned Lizard couldn't help but glance at the Stone-Armored Beast again.
If even a Calamity Beast whose strength barely reaches B-Class can be treated like this, then what would happen if I went there...?
No, no, no, what nonsense am I thinking?!
It's all because of this idiot that he led us astray!
The Two-Horned Lizard glared fiercely at the Stone.
Then, taking advantage of the other's confusion, it glanced at the two figures in the distance. Confirming they hadn't returned, it withdrew its gaze, looked at the Stone-Armored Beast, and said in a low, serious voice:
Do you really feel this is okay?
"Uh, ah? No... is that okay?" Stone asked, somewhat uncertainly.
"Of course, although what you just said sounds very good, you're also sure you're being monitored by them, right?" the Two-Horned Lizard said seriously.
"Well..."
Stone opened his mouth, unsure how to reply.
As for regulation, in the past there were dedicated people watching it. Although there are no dedicated people watching it now, it has always been operating in conjunction with others, so it seems that everyone is watching it.
The Two-Horned Lizard, unaware of these facts and believing itself to be correct, added fuel to the fire by saying:
"So, you really feel like you've lived a life constantly monitored by others has gone by too quickly? Haven't you ever thought about going back to the Ruins Realm and returning to the kind of life you used to live?"
There was no response; the Stone remained silent.
The Two-Horned Lizard, seeing the scene before it, grew increasingly excited and said:
"Besides, they're only nice to you now because you're useful to them. Nobody can be sure they'll treat you the same way once you're no longer useful!"
"After all, you are Calamity Beast, and they are humans; ultimately, you are not of the same race!"
"Later, if sacrifice is necessary, I believe they will not hesitate to sacrifice you!"
Silence, no response.
Suddenly, the Stone-Armored Beast raised its head.
"My Lord Two-Horned Lizard, what do you think we should do?"
Upon hearing this, the Two-Horned Lizard's eyes lit up.
It glanced again at the two humans in the distance, and after confirming that they weren't paying attention, it looked away and then whispered even more quietly:
"I'll look for every possible opportunity, and if I do, I'll let you know in advance. Then, all you need to do is do as I say, and I'll definitely get you out of here!"
Having said that, it looked intently at the Stone-Armored Beast.
The Stone-Armored Beast was also staring at it, its eyes hesitant.
Don't you believe me? Well, that's understandable, after all, we've only known each other for a few days, and we haven't really talked much in the last few days...
The Two-Horned Lizard made a sound and spoke:
"Back at the camp, you must have seen how the other Calamity Beast treated me, right?"
This time, Stone did not remain silent.
It looked at the adult before it, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"I see, they respect you very much!"
"Do you think they respect me because I'm stronger?" the Two-Horned Lizard asked.
"Hmm... it doesn't seem so." Stone pondered. The behavior of the other Calamity Beast at that time was indeed not the usual respect that Calamity Beast showed when they saw a high-level Calamity Beast, which arose out of fear of the other party's strength. It seemed more like it came from the bottom of their hearts.
The Two-Horned Lizard lizard remained calm as before, but something inexplicable had appeared on its face.
It looked at the Stone-Armored Beast and said:
"Because I also came from a low-level Calamity Beast, I deeply understand what kind of... we low-level Calamity Beast are in the Ruins Realm..."
A little further away.
Shen Heng glanced sideways at the two dark figures in the distance, then slowly looked away.
After waiting a few more moments, Qin Yu slowly opened her eyes.
"How is the situation?" Shen Heng asked.
"This space is the most Distortion of the ones we explored before. We just need to start from here and continue searching," Qin Yu said.
"Is it expected?" Shen Heng asked.
"As expected..."
Qin Yu repeated it in a low voice, and after a moment she looked up and said:
"Two or three more spaces should be enough!"
Two or three, or maybe a little over ten if what Qin Yu said before is accurate? That's not too bad luck!
Shen Heng nodded and looked at Qin Yu, saying:
"In that case, after we come here, let's continue searching along the border!"
Qin Yu nodded.
The two flew towards the two dark figures in the distance.
Seemingly noticing their return, the two figures stopped talking and waited for them.
As the two returning figures approached, the Two-Horned Lizard glanced casually at the Stone-Armored Beast beside it.
The other party didn't agree immediately, only saying they needed to think about it.
It did not insist on this.
It's not difficult to persuade a Calamity Beast through a brief exchange, but that only applies to ordinary Calamity Beast.
This Stone-Armored Beast was clearly a little smarter.
However, it didn't care too much about it.
In the end, it was just a brief exchange. If we have a few more such exchanges, the seed planted in the other person's heart today will surely take root and sprout!
With a Calamity Beast that these humans have already trusted helping them, escaping will definitely be much easier!
As for whether the other party can escape together as it just said, that depends on its fate!
Thinking this, the Two-Horned Lizard felt increasingly relaxed.
It looked at the Stone-Armored Beast, which, as usual, headed towards the two humans.
Then, as usual, he opened his mouth.
"Lord Shen Heng, this guy just asked me to help him escape, and even encouraged me to run away with him!"
The rough sound, like a cannonball, suddenly exploded in the Stone-Armored Beast's ears.
It looked at the two pairs of eyes staring at it in disbelief, and at the figure that seemed to be asking for credit.
The Two-Horned Lizard trembled, and the phrase it had learned from humans involuntarily surfaced in its mind.
This brat... is not worth discussing anything with!
