Meng Chao fell into deep thought.

I don't know if it's an illusion, or because of the strong spiritual magnetic interference of the spar veins, which makes Lin Chuan's life magnetic field a little abnormal, Meng Chao always feels that after going deep into the ground, his eyes are flowing with strange light from time to time.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about Lu Siya's father, using my father's death and the birthday gift he gave me to make a show, and create his own character of love and righteousness."

Lin Chuan retracted the light in his eyes and said calmly, "In the handling of my father's posthumous affairs, Lu Siya's father is beyond reproach - he has called my father his 'best brother' on many occasions, and he also takes great care of our family's life, especially me who received a birthday gift.

"Discovering my extraordinary talent, he spared no effort to nurture me, gave me the opportunity to study in an aristocratic school, and even took me to live at home for a while during the critical period of competing for the head of the mining company, so that I became excellent friends with Lu Siya.

"After I stepped into society, Lu Siya and her father spared no effort to help me, and I can become the crying and killing god I am today, of course, without their support.

Even if this is really a hypocrisy, Lu Siya's father's acting skills are superb and almost flawless.

"But none of this can replace a flesh-and-blood father, can you understand my feelings?

"The grief of losing a father is like a jar of wine buried deep in the ground, you can't taste it all when you're young, and as you grow older, the unforgettable sting comes to your heart from time to time, keeping you awake at night.

"That's right, my father's death has brought a lot of things to the family, and even completely changed my fate, and when he was alive, he was not the kind of flawless father, but a somewhat ugly, often sweaty, and even very short-tempered person, and Lu Siya's personable, elegant and wise father is very different, but...... He's my father! ”

Meng Chao nodded, thinking of his father.

Meng Yishan is a harvester, sometimes he is tired from work, and he goes home before he has time to clean, and the smell is not very good.

Moreover, when the family is poor and the work is not going well, the temper is not necessarily good.

But he is still an indispensable mountain in Meng Chao's mind.

Even if he has awakened his extraordinary power and can kill the nightmare beast with his bare hands, he still feels inexplicably relieved when he smells his father.

"When I was an ignorant teenager, I could ignore the difference in identity and go crazy with Lu Siya, but people will always grow up and recognize each other's differences."

The corners of Lin Chuan's eyes twitched, and he said with difficulty, "Especially since I have become an extraordinary person, with the experience of fighting in the wilderness and exploring ore veins, and then looking back, looking at the prospecting mission that killed my father back then, I found a lot of suspicious things about quick success, perhaps, if Lu Siya's father could report to the senior management of the group in advance, send a larger prospecting team, and choose a more secure route and means, this accident could have been avoided."

"I don't want to say that it was Lu Siya's father who killed my father, after all, he took the lead, he also risked his life, and he did not use coercive means, but used a good reward to attract miners and prospectors to join voluntarily, everyone knew very well the high danger of the mission, life and death, willing to gamble and lose.

"What's more, what Lu Siya's father did can't be counted on her at all, even if her father's choice back then was flawed, it shouldn't affect my friendship with her.

"But human beings are not absolutely rational animals after all.

"Logically, I know she's innocent.

"Emotionally, I was less and less able to get along with her as purely as I used to.

"What's more, every time I see her, I inevitably come into contact with her father, the man who could have killed my father, but who took care of and nurtured me.

"So I hid from her for several years, until this time, she went deep into the tombstone forest that I had been active all year round, and could no longer hide, so I reluctantly joined her prospecting team.

"I thought that this operation would ease the relationship between us, but now I regret it, because looking at Lu Siya's unscrupulous style of acting in order to achieve the goal, I can't help but think, deep underground, was Lu Siya's father the same, in order to find the spar vein, he drove people like my father to take risks again and again, and finally killed everyone?"

Meng Chao saw that the more he spoke, the more excited he became, the more he gritted his teeth, and the gentle crying and killing god on weekdays was like two people, and hurriedly held his shoulder and said: "Brother Lin, are you okay, is the spiritual magnetic interference too strong, and the spiritual index has fluctuated, do you want to meditate deeply and take a rest?" ”

"I'm fine."

Lin Chuan took a deep breath, regained his composure, and said earnestly, "Telling you these things is just to remind you that your life is your own and your family's, if you want to get ahead, of course you should work hard, but you can only fight for yourself and your family, and anyone else is not worth it."

"So, in the next mission, if you encounter danger again, remember that the most important thing is to save your own life, whether it is Lu Siya or me, or anyone in the team, it is not worth your life to save, otherwise, you die, she completed the task, gained wealth, honor and strength, and went to your grave to cry twice, is it meaningful?

"As for whether you want to join the Qingtian Group or other super forces, you can do it, but you still remember this sentence, you can only fight for yourself, you can sell your time, skills, wisdom and even dignity, but you must never give your life to anyone, understand?"

"I understand."

When Meng Chao heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Brother Lin, you really misunderstood, the reason why I risked my life to save Miss Lu just now was not because I wanted to give her my life.

"Including joining this prospecting mission, I don't have a half-dime relationship with her, I just want to fight side by side with you and end this battle as soon as possible.

"Like you, I don't appreciate Miss Lu's style of acting, nor do I believe in her promises or demagoguery, but there is one thing I think she is right, that is, whether or not she can find the red glow jade vein is crucial to winning the offensive on the northern front, and she, as a 'sensitive', has an irreplaceable role in finding the red glow jade vein, which is the reason why I worked hard just now.

"I don't care how ambitious Miss Lu is, and I don't care how much benefit she can get from the red glow jade vein, at least, she can end the extreme weather and fog on the ground, and let our steel torrent rush into the Shattered Star Lake area and the Tombstone Forest, and achieve a hearty victory, which is good for Dragon City and the entire human civilization, isn't it worth our desperate efforts?"

Lin Chuan stared at him for a long time.

Suddenly, the corners of his mouth opened and he laughed silently.

He laughed maniacally, covering his face with his hands and shrugging his shoulders as if he were doing a clumsy and strange dance.

Meng Chao frowned: "Did I say it wrong, is it so ridiculous?" ”

"No, I'm not laughing at you, I'm just laughing at my former self, because my original thoughts were exactly the same as yours."

Lin Chuan finally had enough laughter, and removed his palm, revealing a face with tears in his eyes.

A faint smile still lingered on the corner of his mouth.

His eyes were as sharp as a cold blade.

It was like finally making up some kind of decision.

"Listen, Meng Chao, if you really believe in Lu Siya's promise, fight for money, power, power and all kinds of resources, and even die for her, although it is stupid, there is a slight possibility to get what you want."

He leaned over, his expression was serious, and he said word by word, "However, don't fight for any 'compatriots, humans, civilization', I'd rather die for Lu Siya or any specific person, some specific interests, than for 'human civilization', this is the most sincere advice that Senior Brother Lin gave you." ”

Meng Chao was puzzled, and his back couldn't help but crawl with cold sweat: "Why?" ”

"Because, there is no 'human civilization' at all, and even, there is no 'human being' at all."

Lin Chuan said incomprehensibly, then stood up, "Follow me." ”

He led Meng Chao out of the tent, through the camp, and to the corner of the cave.

It is rich in spiritual energy, breeding for all kinds of snakes, insects, rats, ants and underground creatures.

Closer to the gargoyle's territory, the gargoyle releases an aura that humans cannot recognize, but which is very easy to attract snakes, insects, rats and ants, luring them into the net.

Therefore, if you gently lift the rock, you can see a lot of wriggling insects, a concrete and micro ecosystem.

Lin Chuan asked Meng Chao to restrain his breath and observe quietly.

Most of the snakes, insects, rats and ants here have never seen humans, and are not afraid of them, and they can't even understand what kind of existence they are.

Still hunting, devouring, digesting and reproducing.

Soon, Meng Chao observed a small worm wriggling and devouring moss, and then was eaten by a monster in the shape of a praying mantis, and the "praying mantis" was taken away by a lizard-like monster, and the lizard-like monster was swallowed by a strange snake with sarcoma on its head, and the strange snake was attracted by the fragrance of the gargoyle, shook its head and tail, and swam towards the gargoyle, the hell of slime and blades.

"See these monsters?" Lin Chuan asked Meng Chao.

"See." Meng Chao nodded.

Although there is no sunlight in the depths of the earth, the hedron veins emit a faint fluorescence, stimulating the visual cells of the transcendent, and seeing the incomparably brilliant and rich world.

Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "No, there are no monsters here. ”

Meng Chao was slightly stunned, thinking that Lin Chuan meant that the strength of these snakes, insects, rats and ants was too weak to be called "monsters".

Lin Chuan said: "I only see insects, praying mantises, lizards, poisonous snakes, spiders and mushrooms, you tell me, where are the monsters?" ”

Meng Chao said: "Aren't they all monsters? ”

"Really?"

Lin Chuan smiled slightly, "Suppose they are all monsters, and they are suddenly endowed with wisdom comparable to human beings and the ability to communicate with each other by some mysterious power, and then, the poisonous snake in it said to the lizard, 'Brother Lizard, we should fight to the death with human civilization for the sake of monster civilization', what do you think this lizard that has just been swallowed by a poisonous snake will think?"

"If the Viper goes one step further and says, 'Brother Lizard, for the sake of the great, sacred, and noble monster civilization, each of us monsters must do our best, fulfill our duties, and contribute all our strength, so you should take the initiative to jump into my mouth and sacrifice yourself to make me stronger so that I can bite more humans to death—this is for the sake of thousands of fellow monsters.'"

"Do you think lizards believe in poisonous snakes?"
