The night outside was quiet, and the roars of monsters from time to time seemed particularly permeable in such a night, and the moon in the sky did not know when it was covered with a layer of blood, and I trembled and walked step by step towards the cave, compared to the morning, there were more messy monster footsteps on the ground, and it seemed that there were many more salamanders.

The lights in the cave opened a pale golden halo at the entrance of the cave, I walked in step by step, such a quiet night made me not so calm, if it is the last quiet before the big war I also believe, after all, I still have a preliminary understanding of the people living in the cave.

The further I walked inside, the clearer the sound of chains, and I thought wildly, imagining the fierce faces of the bound salamanders trying to break free from the chains, and I couldn't help but tremble, those locked monsters should be more violent than the free ones.

I went deeper into the cave and didn't see the man, but as I expected, the salamander in the cage began to hit the cage, and I even thought that the cage would not be able to hold it, and the salamander's restlessness made me start to get restless.

The cave is not big, this time while the man is not there, I carefully observe every inch of the cave, there are a total of 30 cages, 3 of which are empty, the salamanders in the 26 cages see my hideous face, especially when I get closer to the 27th cage in the deepest part of the cave, they are even more violent, I have no doubt that if they are outside the cage they will tear me apart.

The salamander in the 27th cage is much smaller than the other cages, at most about the same height as a child of a few years old, it should not even be 1m, and it is unconscious and curled into a ball and is locked in the cage, and there are obvious cuts and scars on the red paws, these intertwined scars can be seen to have been injured several times, I remember that monsters generally have few offspring, almost decades or hundreds of years before giving birth to one, and after humans hunted monsters on a large scale, these cubs are even more rare, and now a cub salamander who is locked in a cage makes me feel a little pity。

The sound of footsteps echoed through the hole, and I quickly searched around, and finally locked my eyes on the gap between the cage and a large wall stone, and I barely climbed in, almost in a distorted position, and hid inside, the man held a few chains with a few salamanders tied to them, and the newly caught salamanders were quickly locked in the empty cage, and the salamanders in the rest of the cages looked at the man with a look of fear but resentment.

"You're just monsters, it's merciful that I didn't kill you. The man's voice was very cold, I frowned a little disagreeably, although it was the same as my task, I also needed to despise these living beings, but I never despised the meaning of the existence of these lives, I was like a contradiction, doing cruel tasks, but there was a trace of unbearable pity in my heart, like a funny virgin, but only I knew that the so-called kindness was relative, that was the pity that existed on the basis of being alive, if I sacrificed myself for others, I thought I couldn't do it, I was so selfish, how could it...... Shaking his head a little self-deprecatingly, he continued to observe the movement outside.

The man walked to the 27th cage, holding a knife in his hand, I watched him grab the small salamander in the cage and pull the paw again, and then catch it with a bowl, I touched the mark on my chest, the two boxes I opened before also had the blood of the salamander, and the effect is to restore health, so obviously this man did not know in the way of system prompts, it should be the experience accumulated from long-term practice.

The salamanders obviously began to go berserk, and the unconscious cub salamander was also awakened by the pain and began to scream, it was a young but sharp sound that could puncture the eardrum, and its fiery red eyes reflected my appearance, I looked at it, it also looked at me, there seemed to be a hint of help in its eyes, I saw this kind of look in the eyes of a monster for the first time, it was a look that I thought monsters would not have, but at this moment I suddenly remembered that in fact, in my eyes monsters, in their eyes we are not monstersThey do attack humans because of their different races, but just as we prey on animals, we are also part of their food chain. In fact, it is all about living, human beings take it for granted, and put themselves in the position of justice, but what is true justice? Where is this definition? I don't know at all, I'm just a high school student, I haven't been exposed to the complex society that adults say, and even I am too well protected by my brother and parents, I think everything is too much to take for granted, and forget that sometimes the so-called righteousness is also a kind of harm.

I crept out of the crevice in the rock, my movement was obviously not very abrupt in the salamander's restless cave, I slammed the hilt of my sword with both hands on the man's head, and he was obviously caught off guard by the sudden blow, I slammed him away and began to scramble to untie the chains that bound the cage.

"You're in the way again! I won't let you go this time!" the man looked at me with one hand on the back of his head, his eyes almost like fire.

"I ...... I'm not going to let you ...... that Do whatever you want!" I pulled the chain open the cage door, and the salamander cubs inside clawed at my thighs and cowered behind me, holding the hilt of my sword against the man, "They...... They are also creatures in this world, and we hunt them to survive when they are adults, but why do we take the cubs with them. ”

"Huh, mercy, are you pitying a bunch of monsters?" the man said as if he had heard a joke, "your so-called cub will not show mercy to humans when it grows up, and if you put it back in and cage it now, I can consider sparing you." ”

Trigger the side quest: The Witcher's Apocalypse

Content: Complete the Witcher's Hunt Request

Reward: Unknown

Accept Rejection

This is a very tempting task, obviously only by accepting, I will have a way to get a reward easily, or this world is so cruel, erasing the ridiculous and unnecessary pity and finally becoming a cold-blooded powerhouse.

But....... It's not what I want, I want to live, I'm a person who likes to be greedy, but ....... "I, I didn't understand it before, I think what we get is what we deserve, it's like humans eating the meat of those animals, which seems to be the truth that the world agrees on...... We humans should be above all living things. ”

The man's expression is undeniable, "You can ...... if you know"

"But! this is not a reason for us to deprive ourselves wantonly!" I interrupted the man, I had never been a cruel, cold-blooded person, people ate animals, but began to raise these animals, so that these creatures decreased and increased, and what about these monsters, they were constantly hunted, but no one cared whether they lived or died. Endangered animals will be protected by the state, but the endangered monsters will only be applauded, and people will think that it is really good that the monster is dead, but what about the monsters? For the monsters, they are just to live, such as tigers, lions, and people who are dangerous to humans. Beasts can also be tolerant and tamed, and they can also be like a heart that wants to be friends, but they don't have a trace of tolerance for monsters, I thought I would do the same, but I saw different monsters in the eyes of this cub, they have feelings, they have hope to live, this is not something I can arbitrarily deprive.

I declined the task, clenching my sword in both hands, "I know you'll feel naïve, but you've long forgotten your original intention!

The man's face was very gloomy, and I could even feel the atmosphere around me begin to be depressed, "Chuxin? What do you know?" The man approached me step by step, "Have you experienced everything that the demon hunters who have just entered this world have experienced? Those old demon hunters don't look down on me at all! We even have to do the most dangerous hunting missions in order to have food! This world is so cruel! It's so real, what's the use of your mercy, no one will pity you at all!" If you get in my way, I can kill you! and no one cares about your death!"

"No," I cried out with my eyes closed, "it is true that there are people in this world who are indifferent! but there are also people who are gentle and kind, who are selfless and helpful, like your mother!

The man ...... stopped, his expression a little strange.

"If everyone is so cold-blooded, then how can there be a peaceful world! I was greeted with a punch straight at the door, and I closed my eyes in fear.

Brother...... I don't know if I'll survive, but I miss you so much...... I haven't seen you in two days.
