Chapter 129: The Third Way

By the time the crowd reached the inside of the mountain stream, the beast had already risen from the ground.

It has elongated forelimbs and stands mainly on its strong hind legs. After getting up, the huge body made people feel depressed, and many soldiers who made jokes about it a few days ago began to tremble in their legs and stomachs.

Only Chen Fan can still smile easily.

The beast's wounds have healed, but the injuries aren't completely healed. Although it looked very oppressive, Chen Fan could actually feel its weakness.

In the midst of everyone's nervousness, the giant beast let out a low roar. It was a voice they had heard countless times, and it was a signal of expulsion.

"Master Chen, do you want to withdraw?" Huang Ping stood beside Chen Fan.

This time they were mainly rescue and research, all without bringing too many weapons. If this giant beast goes berserk, I'm afraid that only Chen Fan will be safe and sound at the scene.

Chen Fan shook his head and said, "Let's take a look first." ”

Although he didn't understand what Chen Fan meant, Huang Ping still gave an order.

The soldiers stood still and did not move.

The beast's warnings were ignored, and it seemed annoyed, wandering restlessly in place.

Chen Fan stepped forward and stirred its nerves again.

Seeing the giant beast subconsciously retreat, the soldiers looked at each other.

"It seems to be intimidating......"

"Master is so powerful!" Ran Manjun's eyes were full of little stars, and he rejoiced in the back: "Master, knock it down!"

I finally helped him up, why did he beat him down?

Huang Ping's face was full of black lines, and Chen Fan also smiled dumbly.

Although he was not a master of beast taming, Chen Fan could probably see the emotions of the giant beast at the moment. It's not that I'm really afraid of him, but I'm confused and tempted.

It does have some intelligence, but it obviously can't think about anything too complicated. In its eyes, humans are like food.

But this group of food saved it, and it did not show obvious offensive intentions, which made the giant beast very puzzled.

Of course, from this point, it can also be seen that this beast is not the warlike type. Otherwise, it would be impossible to gain their trust by relying on these alone.

And here, Chen Fan kept moving forward, making the giant beast keep retreating.

It could sense that Chen Fan was not hostile.

Just when the giant beast could not retreat and began to be a little irritable, Chen Fan bent down and picked up a fork on the ground that the soldiers used to feed.

Then he turned around and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

Immediately afterwards, he directly led people away from the mountain stream, without saying a word along the way.

It wasn't until he was completely out of the territory of the giant beast that Huang Ping asked suspiciously, "Master Chen, what are you doing here?" didn't you want to domesticate that beast when you rescued it?"

Chen Fan shook his head and sighed: "This fierce beast is different from the orangutan in the Jade Void Small World, and there is basically no possibility of domestication. ”

"Then we can't go, while it's not good yet, take advantage of its illness to kill it!" Huang Ping was anxious, the threat that an innate fierce beast could cause was unimaginable.

Chen Fan waved his hand and said: "Everything is not black and white, we can't be friends with it, but we don't have to be enemies." Of course, I'm not denying how dangerous it is, but there are other threats to this small world that we don't know about. ”

"Did Master mean the injuries on that fierce beast?" Ran Manjun leaned over and was glared at by Chen Fan.

Although he promised to let Ran Manjun go with him, Chen Fan had warned her before. When Chen Fan is talking to others about business, it is best not to talk without authorization.

This will give others a sense of transgression and unruliness. Of course, this is not that Chen Fan is old-fashioned, but that his and Ran Manjun's identities are too special.

A martial arts benchmark, a richest daughter, and all stars in the martial arts world.

The words and deeds of the two will have some unexpected effects on the public. On the contrary, Ran Manjun has always been straightforward and fast-talking, so Chen Fan asked her not to open her mouth as much as possible.

After Ran Manjun shut up aggrievedly, Chen Fan continued: "There are some reasons for this, but ...... I have another idea. In addition to domesticating or hunting all the beasts, do we have a third way? ”

"Master Chen, are you talking about coexisting with fierce beasts?" said an old professor next to him.

He is a biologist sent by this trip, and he is also the first batch of scientific researchers to settle in Kunlun Small World.

Chen Fan nodded. The difficulty of domesticating ferocious beasts can be imagined, and it took many years for humans to domesticate wild wolves into domestic dogs and wild birds into poultry.

A special case like Erwuzai is hard to come by, and it is completely unsuitable for the entire group of fierce beasts.

Therefore, the domestication of fierce beasts can only be used as a means of reservation, and occasionally it can be tested and studied, and it is purely a waste of manpower and material resources to carry out and promote it in an all-round way.

As for hunting, to be honest, Chen Fan also felt that it was unrealistic.

Just to say that this small world of Kunlun has to hunt all the fierce beasts, and the casualties and losses caused are incalculable. And the beast as a material, in fact, is only a small part.

For human beings, the most valuable thing is the renewable resources of Kunlun Small World. And once the beasts are killed, no one can say for sure what the impact will be on the ecology.

Moreover, now they have not encountered a fierce beast that truly transcends cognition. But just because you haven't encountered it now doesn't mean you won't encounter it in the future.

If there really is such an existence, I don't know who hunts whom.

So Chen Fan has recently begun to ponder the feasibility of a third way - coexisting with fierce beasts.

Hearing the old professor's words, Huang Ping was a little disdainful: "How can you coexist with fierce beasts? The strength of fierce beasts is a huge threat to human beings! They can eat people!"

The old professor retorted, "Didn't that man also eat the beast? besides, the beast is only strong now." At the beginning of human beings, there were countless creatures in nature that could hunt humans. But why, now those ferocious carnivores have been killed by us as endangered animals?"

"Thousands of years ago, they were a much greater threat to us than the beasts are now, right?"

"This ......" Huang Ping didn't know how to argue for a while.

It sounds reasonable, but I always feel that something is wrong.

After thinking about it, he seemed to have found a loophole: "Old sir, the fierce beast and the beast of the earth cannot be compared. The evolution of a beast is measured in tens of millions of years, but in an environment full of spiritual energy, it may grow to an unimaginable level in ten or twenty years. ”

The old professor said disdainfully: "Why, can't the speed of human evolution be comparable to that of a fierce beast? Look at this Master Chen, I heard that he was also an ordinary person before. In terms of strength, there is not much difference between it and the big guy in the mountain stream. According to our analysis, the monster inside has lived for at least four or five hundred years, how long has Master Chen lived, and how long has Master Chen only cultivated?"

Huang Ping was completely speechless.

Indeed, the most terrifying thing about human beings is not the level of the starting point, but the almost unlimited growth potential.

In the context of the revival of aura, give human beings ten years to ensure that the fierce beasts in the small world of Kunlun will be eaten as a protected species.

When I think about it, it seems that the beast is not terrible at all. It's even a little pitiful!

After hundreds of years of hard work, a genius has emerged in mankind, and it may be able to beat it in less than a year.

"It seems to be the same. "At this moment, even Huang Ping has no opinion.

Chen Fan won't say more, there is no harm in trying.

Of course, his expectations for this matter are not too high. Even if humans and beasts can coexist temporarily, it is absolutely impossible to achieve complete balance.

When humans grow to a certain extent, the beasts will definitely be hunted again. This time, however, humans may be merciful enough to leave their bloodlines to continue to reproduce, and then, after countless years of iteration, eventually become a new breed in human feedlots.

This is a historical inevitability, and no individual or organization can stop it. Unless human beings are captive by some creatures, they use countless reproduction optimizations to erase the greed engraved in the genes of human beings.

But if there were such creatures, they would definitely rise up against them......

Chen Fan shook his head, feeling that his thoughts were getting more and more nonsense.

......

The day after leaving the mountain stream, Chen Fan found Huang Ping and asked him to send a reconnaissance team of warriors to the mountain stream.

On the one hand, it is to continue to test the bottom line of the beast, and on the other hand, it is to continue to track it.

Chen Fan wanted to find the thing that had injured the beast.

And in order to be able to rush to the scene at any time, Chen Fan continued to stay in Kunlun Small World these days.

The reports from the mountain stream kept coming and sent to the room that Huang Ping had arranged for Chen Fan.

"Master, today's report is here!" Ran Manjun called out in the living room.

In the bedroom, Chen Fan sighed slightly.

I don't know if Huang Ping's kid did it on purpose, but he actually arranged a two-bedroom apartment for him.

Although it is not the same bed, he and Ran Manjun live under the same roof after all.

On the day of check-in, when Lin Qingya called herself to ask about traditional Chinese medicine, Ran Manjun deliberately brushed her sense of existence and revealed to Lin Qingya that the two were 'living together'.

Lin Qingya's face was glowing green, but Chen Fan didn't bother to explain to her. What is there to explain the relationship that the eight poles can't beat?

Besides, she is my apprentice and not my wife, let me explain a hammer to her?

Thinking so, his good apprentice hadn't asked him for homework for five days.

Pulling open the door, Ran Manjun stood at the door.

That outfit made Chen Fan can't bear to look at it directly.

"Master, is it pretty?" the girl in the thin nightdress spun around, and the hem of her skirt was thrown up a little.

"I can't imagine that there is a large shopping mall in 101 City, I bought seven sets at a time! It is not the same every day for a week, what do you think, Master?"

Chen Fan ignored her inquiry, snatched the report directly, and immediately slammed the door shut in Ran Manjun's eagerness.

Outside the door, Ran Manjun stayed for a long time. Then I looked at my outfit and was a little speechless.

It doesn't make sense, the sales said that as long as you wear this nightdress, no man can hold it.

Could it be that you have chosen the wrong color? Master Chen doesn't like black?

Inside the house, Chen Fan opened the report.

The previous record is not much different from the previous one.

The Behemoth still sounded a warning for the Scout's approach, but did not attack.

Of course, this may also have something to do with the fact that the Scout didn't dare to actually stick to his face.

After the giant beast was able to move, it began to forage for food on its own in the surrounding area, and also consciously ate some herbs.

And so it went for a week, until today.

The behemoth left its usual range, and this time it was moving fast.

Chen Fan put down the report and hurriedly dialed Huang Ping's phone.

If nothing else, they'll be able to see what they're looking for in no time......
