The little bear tilted its head as if it was thinking about what this third beast said.
When the third beast saw this, it raised its paw as if it was about to slap the little bear.
The little bear revealed an angry look as it said, “What are you being so impatient about? I’m just trying to think about what to say.”
The third beast narrowed its eyes if it didn’t believe what the little bear was saying, but at least it lowered its paw and gave the little bear a chance to explain itself.
After a long silence, the little bear shook its head and said, “The spiritual energy concentration above is still unstable, it doesn’t seem like the right time yet. The beasts that have developed above all seem to lack intelligence, they are all functioning on pure instinct rather than actual thought. If we were to go up now, it would take a lot of effort just to train them.”
The beasts that were around this area all knitted their brows when they heard this.
The little bear then seemed like it thought of something before saying, “The humans seem like they’ve developed quite a bit. It isn’t just these snacks, they’ve also developed strange techniques and physiques that we’ve never heard of before. We can no longer underestimate humans like in the past.”
This time, the beasts around the little bear didn’t take it as seriously.
The looks on their faces made it clear that they didn’t seem to believe what the little bear was saying.
It also made it clear that they seemed to look down on the humans.
But the third beast that had been silently listening the entire time didn’t have the same disdain as the other beasts. It had seriously listened to everything that the little bear had said and seemed to be lost in thought because of it.
Since this third beast didn’t say anything, one of the beasts around them said, “Even if that’s the case, I’m getting bored sitting down here all this time. We should still go back up to the world above and reclaim the land that belongs to us. It’ll be a bit more work, but it’s better than just rotting down here.”
The other beasts seemed to agree with this as they all nodded in agreement.
But the third beast shook its head before saying, “It’s not the time yet. Didn’t you hear what fifth brother said? It would be a waste of time and too much effort to go up now. I for one am not willing to waste this time.”
If it was anyone else who said this, the other beasts wouldn’t have cared as much.
But since it was this third beast that said it…
After all, there was a reason why everyone was respectful towards this beast.
That was because this beast was the oldest and most powerful of them all.
The beasts regarded each other as brothers and they ranked themselves on which of them were the most powerful, which was how they decided the order of big brother to youngest brother.
This beast was the big brother that all the other beasts submitted to.
This big brother didn’t force the others to follow it, but rather they willingly followed it because of how strong it was. That was just how it was in beast society where strength was all that mattered.
Since the big brother said all of this, the other beasts finally settled down.
The little bear could see how disappointed they were, so it suddenly thought of something.
“Big brother, how about I go up from time to time to observe the outside world? I’m sure that it’ll only be a matter of time before the world actually changes and we’ll be able to leave this place.” The little bear suddenly suggested this.
The eyes of the other beasts lit up when they heard this.
However, the big brother narrowed his eyes to look at the little bear before saying, “You have ulterior motives for this, don’t you?”
The big brother then looked at the snacks that the little bear had been trying to show off earlier and said, “It has something to do with that, doesn’t it?”
The little bear quickly shook its head to deny this before saying, “Of course not, big brother. I was just thinking about the rest of our brothers. You should know how much they want to go to the outside world instead of being trapped here. I just want to make sure that day comes as soon as possible.”
“And if I were to get some extra benefits because of this, there’s nothing wrong with that.” The little bear thought to itself.
The big brother could clearly see through what the little bear was thinking, but…there were also the feelings of the other beasts to consider.
It was clear that they were starved for the outside world and the longer that they were trapped in here, the stronger those feelings would become. If they became too strong, it would be a very bad thing if they were to suddenly explode.
A mental break for a beast was very different from a mental break for a human.
It would also be much harder to deal with than a mental break from a human.
Since that was the case…
In the end, the big brother gave a slow nod as it said, “Fine, you can keep going up to the outside world. But remember to keep your small form and to not attract any attention. At the same time, remember to report everything that you see to us, no matter what.”
The little bear quickly nodded in agreement to this.
The big brother couldn’t help thinking to itself, “Just what have I done?”
…
In the Martial Might Sect, there were two old men who were sitting there with worried looks on their faces.
It was the morning of the third day and their moment of judgement was coming closer.
It was only a matter of time before the kids from the Love Sect and the Demon Palm Sect came back, which meant that it was only a matter of time before what they had done was exposed.
There was nothing more that they wanted than to just silence them forever, but that wasn’t something that they could do.
After all, the last time that they tried to do anything to those kids had put them in this awful situation where their powers were still sealed. If they were to try anything again, it was very likely that they might even lose their lives this time.
Above all else, the most important thing to the two of them was their lives.
So they would find a way to get through this safely…
It was just that they really couldn’t think of a single thing.
After a long silence, Ye Jian finally said with a sigh, “While we can’t figure out a way to solve our problem, there are ways to delay the issue until we can figure out a solution. I think for now, that’s the only thing that we can do.”
Huo Wang revealed a complicated look when he heard this, but he gave a nod of agreement in the end.
While it wasn’t the best plan, this was all that they had at this moment…
But they still couldn’t help feeling that something was wrong.
It was as if there was something that they had missed…
It felt like there was some kind of disaster that was coming for them that they couldn’t prevent…
Still, they couldn’t figure out just what that was.
The only thing that they could do now was…
“Duan He.” Ye Jian suddenly said and the door opened to reveal Sect Master Duan who seemed to be waiting outside.
With the way that Sect Master Duan waited outside, it was almost as if he was a servant of these two old men even though he was the sect master of the Martial Might Sect.
It was just that when he was in the presence of these two old men, he wasn’t able to raise his head at all. It was as if there was some kind of mysterious pressure that fell down on him and completely suppressed him.
“Elders, is there anything you need?” Sect Master Duan said in a submissive voice.
Ye Jian gave a nod before he started laying out his plan for what would happen when the first round ended.
Sect Master Duan revealed a shocked look on his face when he heard this plan. Then after a bit of hesitation, he said, “Elder, if we were to do this…the other sects.”
Ye Jian gave a snort as he said, “What do I care about what bugs have to say? Just get it done or else.”
Sect Master Duan gave a bitter laugh deep down, though he didn’t dare let his expression change on the surface.
Since Ye Jian had given his decree, it wasn’t as if there was anything that Sect Master Duan could do. The only thing that he could do was go along with this and execute the plan that Ye Jian told him to execute.
So with a bow, Sect Master Duan headed out to take care of this matter.
When he was gone, both Ye Jian and Huo Wang knitted their brows as if they were worried about something.
But in the end, Ye Jian said with a sigh, “This is the only thing that we can do now.”
Huo Wang gave a somber nod in response.
