night.
The Two-Horned Lizard lay on the ground, its eyes filled with resentment as it stared at the three figures not far away.
It is still alive.
The reason, well, is probably what it thought beforehand.
The human knew it was going to escape, and knew it had been planning to escape all along, so it wasn't surprised at all by what happened today.
There were no unexpected events or losses, so there was no reason to be angry.
So it survived.
Of course, it wasn't without its costs.
The wounds on his body that had not yet healed were reopened, and his food supply for the past three days was cut off.
It had no objection to this.
After all, the matter was exposed, and it's only right that they received some punishment.
Moreover, these two punishments were merely a bit uncomfortable for it, and far from being considered severe.
No, even for the enemy, these two punishments might be a bit too lenient.
Thinking of this, the Two-Horned Lizard couldn't help but turn its gaze to one of the figures.
"Are you trying to corrupt me with these sugar-coated bullets?"
"Hmph, you really underestimate me. If you really want to corrupt me, you should at least let me go, right?"
"At this point, at most I can... well... at most I can lie a little less when he asks me questions later!"
"Furthermore, it's best not to give myself an opportunity, otherwise I'll definitely try my best to escape. If I ever catch him later, I'll teach him a lesson and make him regret what he did today!"
"Yes, that's right, that's it!"
Thinking of this, the Two-Horned Lizard nodded vigorously in his heart.
His gaze shifted.
It stopped again very quickly.
There, a huge black shadow was bowing its head, feasting heartily.
The Two-Horned Lizard's mouth twitched.
It truly hadn't expected that there would be such Calamity Beast.
I thought that after it said those words today, even if the Stone-Armored Beast didn't immediately bow down like the other Calamity Beast, it would at least pretend it didn't know anything.
Who would have thought that the Stone-Armored Beast would sell the two humans as soon as it saw them return!
This guy...
What a disgrace to the Calamity Beast! A disgrace to the Calamity Beast!
The Two-Horned Lizard grew angrier the more it thought about it, and some of the muscles in its body trembled slightly.
Helpless, it had no choice but to shift its gaze to the mountainside beside it.
The sound of chewing came from beside me.
The Two-Horned Lizard stared at the dark mountain wall in front of it and couldn't help but swallow.
"I'm so hungry..."
Beside the campfire.
Shen Heng calmly took a bite of the roasted beast meat in his hand.
Thoughts swirled in my mind.
The Two-Horned Lizard knew far more than he had expected.
To seek benefits for ordinary Calamity Beast is unthinkable; such a person is not to be trifled with, for it is all just sweet-coated bullets...
None of these things are things a normal Calamity Beast would know.
And their only source of these things...
Were they soldiers who were captured but not killed?
Shen Heng's eyes were slightly unfocused.
This situation was actually anticipated by both the General Administration and the military region, but they simply didn't pay much attention to it.
There are many reasons, such as oranges turning into trifoliate oranges when planted in the north, different social conditions, and the laziness of Calamity Beast, among others.
In short, almost no one thought the Calamity Beast could do anything.
After all, even humans cannot suddenly switch the ideology and system of a place to another, let alone the Calamity Beast.
Moreover, and more importantly...
This is not something you can control just because you want to.
With two worlds locked in conflict, do you really expect that no one will leak information?
It's impossible!
All we can do is try our best to prevent important information from being leaked!
so...
This was also the first time Shen Heng had ever seen a Calamity Beast acting according to some of the thoughts and ideas of humans.
Although it's fake, I have to say it's still quite interesting.
Thinking of this, Shen Heng couldn't help but glance at the Two-Horned Lizard, which had become somewhat withdrawn due to the punishment.
It's a pity we don't know if this guy really wanted to do that, otherwise maybe we could have let him go and seen how it goes...
"Lord Shen Heng!"
A sound suddenly came from the side.
Shen Heng glanced to the side and saw Stone staring at him with wide eyes.
Beside her, Qin Yu also looked over, silently eating.
"What's wrong?" Shen Heng asked.
"Can I have another piece of meat?" Stone asked, his eyes pleading.
"Damn it, that shameless guy..."
"..." Shen Heng said, "You've already eaten quite a bit, haven't you?"
"Uh, not many, just this one piece!" Stone raised his hand and drew a small circle.
Shen Heng glanced at it.
The circle is indeed very small, probably only about half a meter in size.
The problem is, this time it ate the flesh of Fifth Tier Calamity Beast, and this size of meat was already quite a lot for it.
Without directly refusing, Shen Heng raised his eyes and glanced at the Stone, then said:
"Are your injuries almost healed?"
"Well..."
The Stone opened its mouth, and the entire beast froze on the spot.
Shen Heng continued speaking,
"In that case, after you finish eating, go and cultivate for two hours."
"Uh, ah, can I only eat another piece of meat if I go to practice?" Shi Stone looked at Shen Heng with some grievance.
"No, it's because your injuries have almost healed, and you were supposed to start training anyway. In other words, starting today, you'll have to start training every day from now on," Shen Heng said calmly, looking at the Stone.
"Ah?"
Upon hearing this, Stone's face fell even more.
It looked at Shen Heng, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't dare to refute him.
"Lord Shen Heng, may I have another piece?"
"Okay, go ahead, that piece over there!" Shen Heng pointed to a relatively small skewer of meat.
"Okay!"
The Stone-Armored Beast responded and rushed over with a roar, picking up the food and starting to eat.
At first, it was quite happy.
But soon, seemingly realizing that it would have to start cultivating after eating, the beast began to collapse again.
"Ha, serves you right for betraying me today!"
Complaints and criticisms rang in my ears.
Along with it, another figure, not belonging to this group, also rang out.
"If only I had met Lady Han Ling, then I could have just acted cute and eaten her right away, right?"
"Hmm, I should have known better than to remind Lord Shen Heng earlier; that way, he wouldn't have remembered to let me cultivate."
"But if I don't tell them, I won't get to eat meat... umm, what should I do? I'm so conflicted..."
Shen Heng sat there, slightly taken aback.
The first sentence wasn't surprising; he had been listening to the Two-Horned Lizard's thoughts these past few days.
But those last few sentences...
Somewhat surprised, Shen Heng looked up at Shi Tou, whose face was Stone with worry as the food was almost gone.
A slight feeling of fatigue crept into my mind.
Are you a little tired?
Shen Heng withdrew his gaze.
This was the first time since his Ability Evolution that he had listened to his Listening to Inner Voices for so many consecutive days.
