Chapter 61: The Beastmaster's Dilemma

What does it mean to tame animals?

It means power, it means control, it means transcendence?

Of course, Zhou Ming knew that this was no longer a problem that could be explained by the experience he had gained on Earth. The taming of animals in the Origin Continent is by no means a monkey trick by a street performer, nor is it a performance by a circus taming elephants, lions, and tigers...... These are the results of a profit-driven relationship, and do not give people the power of wildness.

After obtaining the inheritance of the Wind Battle Wolf Formula, Zhou Ming and Chen Ting had a long talk.

This conversation can be described as earth-shaking for Zhou Ming's subversion of his heart.

From Chen Ting, Zhou Ming learned not only about her old things, but also about the reason why Jiang Xuan was-for-tat when they first met.

- Jiang Xuan is domineering, ruthless, and self-serving, he is an infatuated species, he fell in love with Chen Ting at first sight when he was young, and after more than ten years of separation, he still remembers it, and his infatuation is the same, which really shocked Zhou Ming.

From Chen Ting, he learned that Jiang Xuan, in order to capture Chen Ting's heart, never took the usual path, in addition to his courteous performance, he did not hesitate to adopt all kinds of malicious competition methods, and frantically suppressed all kinds of competitors, including existing and potential.

For Zhou Ming's hostility, it was not that Jiang Xuan deliberately targeted him, but that he felt threatened from Zhou Ming.

In this regard, Zhou Ming couldn't laugh or cry. He asked himself, although he admired Chen Ting's beauty and was happy to have such a charming sister, but, at least so far, there was nothing wrong with it.

The truth made him feel depressed, but then he talked about the origin of the beastmaster, and it really shocked him.

In the history of the human race in the Origin Continent, human beings were no different from all kinds of fierce birds and beasts at the beginning, growing in the wilderness, living in the wilderness, and dying in the wilderness, just a member of the huge food chain, also hairy and blood-drinking, wild and chaotic, trembling and struggling to survive in the shadow of the upper predators.

In the long evolutionary history of human beings on earth, there was a day when ancient humans finally left the treetops and walked upright on the ground.

Since then, the liberated hands have begun to grasp the most primitive tools, and humans have learned to use fire, bidding farewell to the era of Ru Mao drinking blood. Cooked food that is easier to digest and absorb brings a series of unexpected changes, complex work leads to intellectual progress, and survival choices allow them to begin to work together...... The civilization that belongs to mankind has begun to embark on the glorious road of blood and fire step by step.

The rise of the Terrans in the Origin Continent is nothing more than this, the only difference is that the status of the Terrans in this world is lower, the living environment is harsher, and the fierce birds and beasts encountered are more powerful and numerous. Flames and tools alone were far from enough to sustain them in building a civilization. The facts that Zhou Ming saw also proved that the human race in this world has a very slow pace of civilization evolution, and the degree of civilization is far from comparable to that of human beings on earth.

However, there is no end to the sky. The human beings of this world have gained another ability to change their fate - to control the wild.

They call it the gift of the beginning.

How the Terrans discovered and mastered the power of the wild, how the first beast master in history was born, and who he really was, is now unknown.

But the result is self-evident, the human race with the power of the wild, opened up a bloody path, stubbornly survived from this murderous world, and became more and more prosperous.

As for whether it is getting stronger and stronger, the answer is two, in terms of individual strength alone, today's human race cannot be compared with the ancient human race. However, the achievements of today's human beings in wisdom are not comparable to those of the ancient human race.

In the well-documented history, the human race in ancient times, since the opening of the way of the beast master, almost everyone can be a beast master, and mastering the power of the wild can be said to be a necessity for survival.

However, with the prosperity of the human race, the population is getting larger and larger, and the social system is becoming more and more perfect, the number of beast masters is decreasing sharply. Up to now, the vicissitudes of life, the evolution of all things, and the beast masters have become scarce to the point that there is no one in ten thousand. Tribes like the Blue Tiger Tribe, which have hardly ever given birth to orcists, are becoming mainstream.

"It's too much for us to be a beastmaster. From the first punch of our ancestors' wild roar, the Terrans were destined to be the enemy of the world. In the eyes of the aliens, human beings, even thieves who blaspheme the Origin Will, will be spurned by the Origin Will. This seems to be being fulfilled little by little. Powerful beast masters sheltered the entire race, and humans began to gather, multiply, and expand...... Little by little, we are changing ourselves from wild to domesticated, and the wild nature is leaving us day by day, and one day it will completely disappear from the human body. In the future, I'm afraid that the human race will no longer give birth to a beast master......"

Chen Ting said these words with deep worry, and sighed: "Although the human race is prosperous, it is far from having the capital to fight against the entire world, and once we lose the beast master in the future, the fate of our race will be confusing!"

Zhou Ming didn't have a deep feeling for this kind of crisis, but he had his own understanding of the phenomenon of the withering of the beast master.

As a visitor to a high-ranking civilization, he knows that the force that dominates the evolution of civilization is never wildness or emotion, but reason.

The rationality and the chaos of the wild are inherently incompatible with the contradiction between fire and water, not to mention that the so-called wildness in this world is not so small and fresh as the wildness understood by the earthlings, and it is much more appropriate to say that it is beastly nature.

The more civilization multiplies, the higher the demand for reason, and the more bleak the wildness must become.

Zhou Ming's inner shock stemmed from this, and for the first time in his life, he felt the pulse of human destiny. He felt that the humans of the Origin World were like a small boat in a storm, which could capsize at any moment, because the tide roared and the people on board were growing and weaker.

The civilization of human beings on the earth is too huge, and human beings ruled the entire world a long, long time ago, exterminating other races in genera and becoming the absolute overlord. This makes the vast majority of people in it not feel the fate of the race at all, and even their own fate is illusory.

The Terrans of the Origin Continent are different, they are still trying to survive in the cracks. So far, humanity has only gained a place to survive.

"Where will the Origin Terran go?"

Zhou Ming was in a certain shocked mood, thinking about this kind of lofty question, even he felt incredible. On Earth, he is just a small man with a confused future.

"Is it to embark on the road of scientific and technological rejuvenation, like the earth human race, and finally bid farewell to the era of beast masters, or to seek some kind of breakthrough and open up a beast master civilization that is more in line with the temperament of this world?"

Unfortunately, neither thing is easy. In such a low civilized atmosphere, beast masters are already rare, and if the human race sets foot on the road of science and technology, it will not be able to survive the day when it will blossom and bear fruit.

However, in the withering world of beast masters, wanting to open up the beast master civilization and let wildness and rationality be balanced in a certain sense is like a fantasy in itself, and it really makes people see no hope......

Shaking his head, Zhou Ming dispelled the distracting thoughts in his heart. He felt like he was thinking too much. The time-traveler saves the world? He doesn't have that kind of consciousness yet. Lying silently among the bushes and weeds, he exhaled softly, and it had been eight hours.

Looking down at the palm of his left hand, a nest of golden ants was tangled, shimmering like a mesmerizing lump of gold, bathed in the wild power he had unleashed. Gently shaking his right hand, the chubby body of the Biqing silkworm twisted slightly, stretching his body stupidly, and he also enjoyed the "great health care" of Zhou Ming's wild power.

"It's coming!"

Moving his gaze forward, Zhou Ming couldn't help but hold his breath, and a small wolf pack was leisurely intruding into his field of vision.
