Chapter 1149 Hatching A Plan (1/2)
Everyone waited with baited breaths to hear the plan.
”It's very simple. If humans kill him, the guards of the Starry Sword Region may come to investigate. But, what if a beast kills him?” Aidan suggested with a sinister smile.
”Wow! That's an awesome idea!” The girl clapped and cheered.
”Ha-ha, you mean we can find a beast to kill him?
Do we dare to catch one? If we are discovered, the Ancestral Land might kill us,” Scar said.
In the Primitive Wilderness, as the other races were stronger than the human race, an agreement was reached wherein humans would not kill members of the other races. If a human broke the terms of the deal, it would spark a war that would lead to annihilation.
Of course, there were exceptions to the agreement as some low-level members of other races didn't enjoy real protection.
However, the senior human leaders attached great significance to this agreement. Humans were forbidden from killing members of any other race. Even if their life was threatened, they could only flee.
This was why Scott had been punished for killing a spectral beast.
As they now had a new way, everyone was occupied with thoughts of how to get a beast to kill Darren.
”Scar, do you remember the beast that killed your father twenty years ago?” Since no one had any ideas, Aidan used this opportunity to remind them.
Scar's expression turned gloomy at the prompt.
Twenty years ago, when his father was cultivating away from home, he encountered an Iron Spine Beast. That beast mauled and ate his father.
When they arrived, all that was left of his father was a pile of blood and bones.
But they didn't dare to surround and kill the Iron Spine Beast. So, they lured it into the shadows, injured it, and captured it.
Over the past twenty years, the Iron Spine Beast had been locked in the cellar. Scar would send people to torture it to vent his hatred.
”Aidan, are you suggesting that we use the Iron Spine Beast?” the short man said.
”With my current ability, I can control it for about fifteen minutes. That should be enough time to kill that guy,” Aidan answered with a confident nod.
”No, we can't.” Scar shook his head.
He was worried that if they freed the beast, it would be hard for them to catch it again. Since using it to kill Darren would be equivalent to releasing his enemy, Scar was unwilling.
