Chen Jie scratched his ear; Little Whiteās roar just now had filled it with a buzzing sound.
Chen Jie walked into the cave and saw the White Tiger looking at him expectantly, pointing to the dead soldier on the ground, licking its lips, meaning: I havenāt had breakfast yet, shall we light a fire and roast some meat?
Chen Jie understood the White Tigerās expression and touched its head, saying, "No way. They are like me, called humans, and humans canāt be eaten!"
The White Tiger looked puzzled?
In its understanding, anything weaker than it in this world could be eaten, who said otherwise!
But seeing Chen Jie looking serious, the White Tiger shook its head in disappointment.
Chen Jie didnāt explain further, just said, "Hold back for now, thereāll be tastier food waiting for you once we get out of here."
Chen Jie was gradually instilling a human value system into the White Tiger. After all, it would be living with him in the future, and it wouldnāt do to have it randomly snacking on Fishing Guild Disciples when hungry.
The White Tigerās current state was like a three or four-year-old child, whatever values you instill in it will be its values.
So Chen Jie had to regulate its behavior and restrain it; once it was fully constrained, it would be fully tamed.
There was no other way; this is the human way of living. If it wanted to follow Chen Jie, it had no choice.
Chen Jie couldnāt carry a wild animal by his side, he had to tame it. Only once tamed could it live with humans and become what humans call a Spiritual Beast.
Wudang Zhang Sanfengās Black Turtle, the Great Capital Basibaās treasure elephant, arenāt they all such entities?
The White Tiger withdrew in dissatisfaction, even though it really wanted to taste the flavor of these hairless monkeys, it chose to comply with Chen Jieās command.
Chen Jie looked at the Energy Transformation Squad Leader barely maintaining consciousness in front of him and said, "Brother, Iāve got something to ask!"
The Squad Leader raised his head and looked at Chen Jie, saying, "Chen Jiusi, you arenāt dead yet? And youāve become so strong?"
Chen Jie was taken aback, looking at the Squad Leader of Energy Transformation and asked, "You know me?"
The Squad Leader coughed in response and said, "Hehe, of course, I was there next to the discussion hall when you were brought in."
Hearing this, Chen Jie looked at the Squad Leader and said, "Didnāt see it, you have quite a status."
The Squad Leader said, "Hehe, I wouldnāt dare say that. Although I am a Squad Leader, Iām also of Manager level within Huangzhou Prefectureās main hall, equivalent to a county head elsewhere."
Chen Jie laughed, saying, "Haha, interesting, interesting."
Chen Jie said, "Brother, since youāre so powerful, then surely you know some secrets about the Zoroastrian Sect, right?"
The Squad Leader frowned and said, "I, donāt know!"
Chen Jie said, "My tiger friend definitely disturbed Elder Quan with its roar earlier, so Iām guessing I wonāt be here for long. Iāll only ask you one question and give you three counts to think about itāanswer me, and you can live; donāt answer, and you die!"
Upon hearing this, the Squad Leader frowned, looking at Chen Jieās serious expression, internally contemplating how he should respond.
Chen Jie didnāt give him time to consider, just looked at him and asked, "Where did you guys hide the food stolen from Huangzhou Prefecture?"
The Squad Leaderās expression suddenly became extremely conflicted.
At this moment, Chen Jie raised his finger and said, "Three!"
"Two!"
"..."
"Back mountain, back mountain..."
The Squad Leader was sweating profusely, after all, he didnāt dare gamble with his life!
Seeing this, Chen Jie was very satisfied and said, "Very good, where is the back mountain?"
The Squad Leader said, "From here, walk forward, thatās the back mountain."
Chen Jie looked at the Squad Leader, and then a trace of sarcasm appeared on his face, saying, "You are not being honest at all!"
After saying this, Chen Jie swung his blade with a brush sound, slicing through his throat, then turned to look in the opposite direction he had pointed.
This person was indeed dishonest; the direction he pointed was clearly incorrect, because in that direction not far away, signs of habitation could be observed, likely a residential area.
If he went in ignorantly, heād likely be captured directly at the residential area.
Hence, this guy was obviously trying to trap him.
Thinking this, Chen Jie looked toward the other end of the passage, wondering where that led.
It seemed like it might not be a good place either!
After a quarter-hour of tea, Elder Quan came here and saw the mess everywhere.
Elder Quanās face changed dramatically, he began searching on the ground and found that most people had died with blood coming from seven orifices, obviously killed by the shock of the tigerās roar.
Elder Quanās face changed again, looking around, his brow filled with surprise.
It seemed the blocked cave mouth was somehow moved by someone, inside some animals already poking their heads out, wanting to come out, eager to try.
Elder Quan frowned, who moved this giant stone? It couldnāt be, when he blocked this cave, he had investigated, in the whole forest, only one wolf and one tiger had some ability, the rest were nothing much.
How could this lone wolf or tiger push away this stone unless they cooperated, but they are enemies?
If they didnāt cooperate, how could they possibly push open this sealing stone?
This, this makes no sense!
Elder Quan furrowed his brow tightly, then his eyes suddenly fell on the Energy Transformation Squad Leader lying dead on the ground, immediately noticing the knife wound on his neck.
A knife?
Elder Quan was startled, how could there be a knife?
Using a knife means itās a person, a tiger wouldnāt use a knife.
A person?
Elder Quan furrowed his brows even deeper, how could there be a person?
He had checked inside, there definitely shouldnāt be any people, could it be?
