Chapter 181 - Interrogation (1) (2/2)

Ji Qiu glanced at Bai Ze, who stood by Ji Fengyan. “Is this the mount you chose?”

“Yes.” Ji Fengyan’s answer was simple and concise.

Ji Qiu frowned slightly before raising his head. “Are you aware of the mount’s significance to the terminator?”

Ji Fengyan chuckled and replied, “Naturally, they are war companions that share life and death.”

“Since you know the significance of a mount, why did you choose such a useless one?” Ji Qiu raised his eyes and looked at Ji Fengyan, his stern gaze intimidating. “A formidable mount is key to the terminator’s survival on the battlefield. Your life hangs in the balance when battling the Demon Clan. Also, the Demon Clan is cunning and often lures its enemies with various schemes. Do you know that every year, many who have just been made terminator die because of the Demon Clan’s plots? Even with a ferocious beast to aid you, it will be difficult to survive. If you bring this vulnerable animal to the battlefield, what are your chances of returning alive from the Demon Clan’s army?”

Ji Qiu stopped speaking, but as he looked at Ji Fengyan, his gaze grew even sharper.

It was as if Ji Qiu’s words had brought the entire hall into a b.l.o.o.d.y battle between life and death. The atmosphere was so oppressive it was almost suffocating.

When Ji Qiu had summoned her, Ji Fengyan had not expected his first attack to be on the subject of her mount.

However…

Ji Fengyan raised her head slightly and met Ji Qiu’s sharp eyes with indifference. Without showing any sign of retreat, she said, “I thought that countries used terminators as the main force against the Demon Clan because of their innate power. If the terminator’s life is merely dependent on his mount, does he still have any reason to exist? Other professionals are available. Why go into so much trouble to use the terminators? If one dies at the hands of the Demon Clan, one can only blame oneself for not being powerful enough. It has nothing to do with external factors.”
