938 How much can you give birth? (1/2)
Poof~
A world esper couldn't hold on anymore due to overusing his Rule Force.
He spat out blood and nearly collapsed. The person next to him, a level two world esper, was still alright. He helped that world esper by surrounding him with his own Rule Force, which was the reason they were able to prevent any casualties for now. However, everyone knew how precious each second was right now.
At this moment, the exchange between Little Bear and the stone statue finally finished as a sense of consciousness was passed to Su Hao.
Su Hao was surprised at the content.
”What happened?” Liu Ping asked nervously.
Su Hao suddenly smiled and looked at the stone statue. Though, his tone was still carrying a hint of surprise, ”Don't attack it. It's not a foe, but a reward. Instill your strength to it, and it will give a corresponding reward.”
”Reward?”
Everyone was amazed.
”The passage we walked through is called Rain Lane. It's a test left by some powerful beasts for future generations. After passing this stage, there will be corresponding rewards.” Su Hao continued his explanation, ”Of course, this was actually left for the beast emperors, but this time, we passed.”
Test? Reward?
Everyone somewhat felt ridiculous learning the truth.
In other words, that horrible experience they had turned out to be a trial for the beasts? The trial for the beasts was actually this terrifying?
”Impossible!”
Liu Ping couldn't understand it. His eyes were full of doubts, ”How would a trial be this terrifying? This is obviously created to kill everyone here! Let alone using it to test the beasts' juniors. How much hatred did the beasts have to set up such a frustrating test?”
Liu Ping obviously doubted Su Hao's translation.
Everyone was also bewildered.
Apparently, this trial or whatever had scared the hell out of them.
Using this method that is for Emperor-rank beasts, which is equivalent to domain espers, yet they as world espers nearly got wiped out? With such difficulty, there might only be one out of one hundred beasts who managed to pass this level! Many beasts would have to be sacrificed!
How could this be?
Mankind knew the value of geniuses. The IQ of beasts isn't low. How would they act this foolishly?
Regarding this, Su Hao used a simple and rough explanation, ”A beast can have dozens of cubs, can you do so?”
Hearing these words, Liu Ping literally coughed up blood.
Dozens...
This word also reflected the current status of survivability in the beast domain. In fact, Su Hao had been there except the battlefield region. Basically, such a place was overpopulated. This was why they were willing to pay any price to invade the Federation.
Because there were no more places for them.
With such uncontrolled birth methods, which place could sustain their birth rate?
Dozens of cubs at once, how chaotic would that be? For the beasts, it was just a common matter. If one is to think like this, some doubts were able to be solved then.
Why there was such a test!
Why beasts were stronger than mankind!
Because...
Their birth rate is greater.
This was a simple and rough explanation, but it was consistent with the truth. Because of overpopulation, they would have to experience brutal elimination in life or death situations. The remaining ones would become stronger. Mankind chose a strong esper out of one hundred men, but the beasts could afford selecting one strong beast out of one thousand. This was the reason why the beasts were stronger overall.
Liu Ping accepted this explanation.
As for Su Hao, he scratched his head this time around, ”That stone statue said so. I am not sure myself either.”
He cleanly shirked his responsibility in just one sentence. Anyway, he was only responsible for translating. The heavy rain didn't hurt him at all. Instead, he was happy to see the crowd consuming more Rule Force. He looked relaxed, but the final decision would still be led by Liu Ping.
Liu Ping looked at the increasingly pale faces behind him.
”Just bet on it!”
”Who wants to give it a try?”
He looked at everyone behind him, and they looked at each other.
”Let me try.”
A person stepped out with a pale face. It was the one who almost fainted earlier. Although he was afraid of this powerful stone statue, his Rule Force had already been exhausted. He had nothing to lose now. Plus, he couldn't rely on others helping him for long. Thus, it might be better to come and give it a try.
He took one step at a time.
That place had no rain.
The stone figure didn't make a move on him, which relieved everyone.
A row of subtitles emerged.
”Place your palm on its forehead.”
Su Hao translated.
That man's hand shook for a second. Place his hand on the head of this strong existence comparable to Liu Ping? However, thinking that if it really wants to harm him, he wouldn't even have the chance to resist. Placing his trembling hand on the stone statue, a light flashed.
Buzz~
That person's Rule Force gradually recovered and was fully restored in the blink of an eye. In fact, there was actually a vague increment. Then his hand was pushed away. Looking at his hand in shock, that man sounded excited, ”My Rule Force has risen!”
”Risen?”
Everyone's eyes contained a hint of joy.
They had clearly seen the scene earlier. Then, there was nothing to worry about anymore. The so-called reward, it was actually to increase the amount of Rule Force?
This was such a great reward!
”Who's next?” Liu Ping spoke.
”My turn!”
”Let me give it a try!”
”I'm fine.”
Everyone said enthusiastically.
Su Hao just smiled sarcastically.
