He Could Hardly Take a Risk the Human Emperor Himself Refused to Take!

That kid.

Seeing Chu Ping'an's actions, the person who had spoken couldn't help but look at the Human Dao next to him and say something.

"It's like they're refusing a polite toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."

The other person nodded in agreement.

"I am indeed a bit confused about the situation."

While the others didn't say anything, they all gave Chu Ping'an a deep look.

The other person wasn't very old, but their attitude was undeniably childish.

Regardless of their current status as the Human Emperor's people, given the disparity in numbers, the other side should still obey.

They actually tried to be cunning here.

It's ridiculous. In a matter like this, why would you give him any room to bargain?

Faced with everyone's reaction, Chu Ping'an immediately smiled and said...

"Looks like you guys aren't tired at all right now?"

"Does he really have the energy to try and outsmart me?"

There was a hint of mockery in his words.

These words immediately caused many people in the group to frown slightly, turn their gaze to Gu De, and speak up.

"Human Emperor, this kid wants something tougher."

As soon as these words were spoken, even more people turned their attention to him, waiting to hear Gu De's response.

As long as Gu De gives the order, they will act decisively, beat the kid up, and throw him onto the road ahead.

However, at this moment, Gu De raised his hand and spoke.

Don't force it.

After saying that, Gu De gave Chu Ping'an a deep look.

"If you're tired, take a good rest. The road ahead is still long, and it will be difficult to walk if you don't have enough strength."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ping'an smiled.

"It seems there are still some smart people out there."

This kind of conversation left many of Gu De's people completely baffled.

However, since the Human Emperor had said so, they had no choice but to do so.

Although they were somewhat surprised by the Human Emperor's reaction, they knew what questions they should and shouldn't ask.

After listening to what Chu Ping'an said, Gu De nodded slightly and said nothing more, his gaze returning to the woods ahead.

However, he was still pondering some possibilities regarding Chu Ping'an.

Regardless of whether the other party knew their own identity, judging from the sheer number of people involved, their reaction just now could only mean two things.

One was genuinely naive, the other had something to rely on.

Based on his many years of experience, he could tell that the other person wasn't the kind of person who was impulsive.

As for the second one, it has something to rely on, leaving room for speculation.

In his current predicament, he is like an ordinary mortal, unable to use any storage containers.

The only useful thing is the armor they wore or the objects they carried when they entered, but even that's only "useful"; there's no way to activate it.

After all, these armor items were never designed for use by ordinary people from the very beginning.

However, there was nothing on the other person's body or hands.

But the other party seemed to have a sense of "not caring at all because they have a strong advantage".

That's quite intriguing.

Either the other person is faking it, or if they aren't, what are they relying on?

There's no need to dig too deep into this matter; there will be plenty of others coming later, and he doesn't need to waste his energy and effort on them.

Besides, let's forget about faking it.

If the other party really has something to rely on, then it will be a troublesome matter.

In fact, Gu De's feeling was correct.

Chu Ping'an really didn't care about the people that Gu De brought.

Regardless, although he is now in the state of an ordinary mortal, his connection with the system remains completely unaffected.

Furthermore, since everything is in the System Space, in other words, he can use any means that these people cannot.

With the things stored in his system, dealing with these people currently on the Earth Road, frankly speaking, is a piece of cake, regardless of whether you are the Human Emperor or his Human Emperor.

He could eliminate his opponent as easily as crushing an ant.

With these abilities, he is the most powerful person in this area.

Time passed slowly, and soon more and more people began to come ashore.

After getting ashore, upon discovering that the Human Emperor was resting nearby, many people took the opportunity to approach him, either to greet him or to make gestures.

Gu De had already arranged for people to speak to Human Dao about this.

"The waterway is long. Your Human Emperor, please rest here for a while. If you have the strength, then continue onward."

Faced with such a statement, the vast majority of people did not take it lightly.

Furthermore, according to their thinking, the Human Emperor was inherently incredibly powerful. Even as a mortal, he could reach the shore faster than them. Would he really need to specifically set aside time to recover his strength?

It's highly unlikely.

After all, even for them, it was only a little tiring, but they could still keep going.

However, the Human Emperor stopped here.

Clearly, the road ahead may not be easy.

Human Emperor doesn't leave, then who will?

Soon, Gu De heard all sorts of different opinions from these people.

"The Human Emperor is a role model for our Human Race. We juniors should learn more from Human Emperor and take a break for a while."

"Thank you for the reminder, senior. To be honest, I'm quite tired after walking through the water all the way here. I'll sit down here for a while and rest."

"Alas, this is truly not the time for cultivation. This mortal body is hardly fit for great tasks. The seniors have already rested; it seems the road ahead will be difficult. I must also rest before daring to venture forward."

Most of those who have reached this point are seasoned veterans. Since the Human Emperor is using the excuse of taking a break, it won't hurt for him to rest for a while.

We can't take the risks that even the Human Emperor wouldn't want to take!

In no time, more and more people were sitting there, which made many people who had originally intended to keep pushing forward change their minds.

After all, it's understandable that these two or three stopped here because they were too weak.

But if everyone in a group isn't moving forward, that's a very serious problem.

For a time, even Gu De was somewhat dissatisfied with this situation.

These people are all waiting for me to step up. They talk about respect, but they don't really take me seriously at all.

Just then, a group of people approached.

The leader said with a smile.

"Li Tianque of the Li Clan greets the Human Emperor."

Gu De looked over, nodded slightly, and asked.

"Is something the matter?"

Li Tianque immediately nodded and said.

"Your Human Emperor, the woods ahead appear quite peaceful, but based on my previous observations, I fear there may be a trap."

"Why don't we let my Li Clan arrange for someone to give it a try first?"

"If it can serve as a scout for the Human Emperor, then that would be a truly great act of kindness."

Upon hearing this, Gu De gave the other person a deep look.

That's thoughtful of you.

Seeing this, Li Tianque turned to look at one of the people who had come with him and said.

"Go."

The man glanced at Gu De, then at the woods ahead, a hint of hesitation flashing across his face.

However, when he saw Li Tianque's glaring gaze, he trembled slightly.

"Good."

Then, they headed towards the woods ahead.

Seeing someone try it, all eyes of the people who were seemingly resting in private immediately turned to look at it.

Just as the man was about to step into the woods, everyone saw a ball of light suddenly appear in front of him.

What is within the light?

Li Tianque asked.

The man waited a moment before responding.

He gave me a choice: whether or not to coexist peacefully with the Beast Race.
