Chapter 705: The Proud Priestess

"Have all the human beings degenerated to this extent?"

Tasima was clearly not comfortable with, or rather disliked this naked way of talking, and her brows were furrowed, and her eyes revealed undisguised disgust.

Zhang Cheng smiled and shrugged his shoulders and retorted, "No!

On the contrary, it tears away all ethical and moral pretenses, and returns human beings to the most primitive and essential state of competition, instead of foolishly believing that they are the masters of the world and the most favored creatures of the gods.

Do you know how the history of Indian civilization became extinct?

Because they were too naïve to mistakenly believe that the European colonizers were a group of friendly neighbors, and even helped them gain a foothold in the Americas at critical moments.

But how did these guys repay the Indians?

They provoked wars to kill their benefactors, plundered wealth and land, and finally shamelessly set up a day called Thanksgiving, while commemorating the Indians who helped them, and offering a reward for the Indians' scalps.

It was not until the Indians were no longer numerous enough to threaten the dominance of European immigrants that the massacres finally stopped.

So tell me, do you prefer the former's approach of working together that is superficially intimate but secretly stabbed at every opportunity, or do you prefer to be straightforward and put your interests in the open, so that we all know what we want from each other?"

Restraining the thoughts and behaviors of human society through ethics and morality?

Hearing this old-fashioned argument, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but want to laugh.

Perhaps in antiquity, when information and knowledge were transmitted at a relatively slow rate, this social structure was barely maintained, but with the rise of the Age of Discovery, and the strong influence of the Renaissance movement, many people were completely unleashed subconsciously.

In pursuit of power-hungry wealth, the European colonizers attacked and occupied areas with relatively backward military and technological conditions in an almost inhumane way, and did not even mind massacring millions of indigenous people.

Many people may think that the total number of people who died in the First and Second World Wars was quite horrific, but few people know that from the arrival of the Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama in India around Africa until the outbreak of the First World War, the number of indigenous people killed by European colonizers was far greater than the death toll of the two world wars combined.

But unfortunately, the essence of the conflict between civilizations is that the law of the jungle eats the strong, and the strong can shout for everyone to hear even if they scratch a little skin, but even if the weak are crucified by the disembowelment, they do not have the right to speak.

In the face of such a cruel reality, who would believe that ethics and morality can restrain a person's behavior?

Not to mention ethics, many times the law cannot, and the only thing that can restrain behavior is force, overwhelming and fearsome force.

Only when a person clearly understands that he will pay a heavy price or even death for doing something that violates the interests of others, will he subjectively have the idea of stopping immediately.

Tasima clearly felt the sarcasm in Zhang Cheng's tone, and raised her chin slightly in a proud response, "We are the people of the Sun God! I can work with you, but only on my terms. ”

"Your way?" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Yes, my way is fair! You make your own demands, and then I decide what you need to pay in exchange. If both parties agree, then the transaction is valid, and if one party does not agree, the transaction is voided. Tasima succinctly laid out her framework for cooperation.

I have to say that although her way of thinking and values are very backward, her brain is not stupid at all, and she understands the danger of rashly forming a close alliance with a stranger, so she decisively chooses to maintain her independence.

Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and stared at the other party, and only nodded after a full minute, "No problem! ”

"No, as I said, ask for what you want, and I'll decide what you get in exchange. Important information can never be free. Tasima quickly refused.

"Damn! Well, it looks like I don't have a second option. Tell me, if I want to know about the Golden City, what do I need in exchange?" A piercing chill flashed in Zhang Cheng's pupils, and he immediately pretended to be helpless.

No way!

After all, the priestess in front of her, who maintained her soul state, was just a projection of consciousness, and even if she turned her face and used violent means, there was no guarantee that she would be able to obtain the corresponding information.

At this stage, apart from patience, he really can't come up with any effective countermeasures.

"I want a body! a complete body capable of containing my consciousness and part of my power!First of all, she must be female, secondly, she must have the blood of the Inca sacrifice, and finally she must not be more than twenty-five years old. Tasima unhurriedly made a request.

Obviously, she is very cautious, and wants to have a general understanding of the current world in this way, rather than rushing to get out of the cage that has imprisoned her for thousands of years.

After all, the cage imprisoned her, but also protected her, and she would only choose to leave if she was sure to be safe.

"Yes, but it will take time!" Zhang Cheng undoubtedly sensed the other party's thoughts, and quickly gave an affirmative reply.

"Thirty days! I'll give you thirty days! And I can tell you the secrets of the Golden City in advance. But remember, if you don't deliver on your promise after 30 days, that's the end of our cooperation. With that, Tasima raised her hand and began waving her hands at the smooth walls of the room, muttering some jerky syllables in her mouth.

Just a few minutes of effort!

Large pictures that looked like dried blood began to fill the entire wall one by one, and the pungent smell of blood could be smelled even from several meters away.

Before Zhang Cheng could find any clues from these messy murals, the priestess's originally stable form exploded with a thud, and then recondensed into Yelena's form.

Obviously, she had exhausted the magic energy she had absorbed not long ago, and the connection of consciousness had been severed, so she could only retract it for the time being.

At the same time, Yelena's soul slowly returned to the inside, jumped up from the ground, and asked "You" with a frightened expression...... What have you done to me?"

"Relax, I didn't do anything, just borrowed your soul to talk face-to-face with the owner of that statue for a while. Come, come closer, and I'll give you what you crave, even if it's a pretty high level of soul power among the myriad supernatural abilities......"

The words just fell!

Zhang Cheng grabbed Yelena's slender neck, and with the help of the artifact shattered magic crystal embedded in the skull, he continuously strengthened the potential that had been awakened in his soul, and after about two or three minutes, the latter fell into a semi-coma because he couldn't bear the huge pain.
