Chapter 563: This Isnt Over! (1/2)

Looking at the scene of two flocks of Three-Legged Golden Crows and Blue Luans trying to devour their own their fallen Paragons, Duna was astonished.

”Why are they eating their own kind? I can understand if it's just the berserk Three-Legged Golden Crows, but why are the Blue Luans committing cannibalism as well?” Duna asked with surprise.

”It's because they want to absorb the Paragon's awakened bloodline and enrich their own bloodline!” Leon explained without shifting his gaze away from the scene.

Shortly after, Duna glanced back with interest, ”So for a chance to become stronger, they would not hesitate to eat their own kind. How primitive.”

”This is just how the world works according to the laws of the jungle; survival of the fittest.” Leon shook his head and spoke, ”Absorbing their Paragon's bloodline won't just give them a chance to become stronger—but also become the new Alpha of the pack.”

”Hmm, I see…” Duna hummed before she noticed Leon's summoned spear, ”What are you doing?”

”Me? I'm going to join the fray,” Leon stated with a decisive glint.

Duna immediately furrowed her brows and said, ”You might have grown stronger, but your strength is only comparable to the middle-stages of Rank 1 Transcendents. You're going to get yourself killed!”

”If I die, then I'll become a ghost like you and keep you company,” Leon flirted with a soft chuckle, catching Duna unprepared as she was stunned.

However, Duna quickly recovered after a brief moment before she coldly said, ”This is not the time for jokes!”

”Are you that worried about me?” Leon asked.

”I-Idiot, where did you go and get that idea from? It's not you that I'm worried about! I'm just worried about losing my only energy supplier!”

”Don't worry. Even if I die, I'll make sure to supply you with plenty of 'energy' before that happens,” Leon chuckled.

Duna's expression immediately turned frosty before she coldly spat, ”Do you want to die?!”

”It's a joke… hahaha…” Leon's laugh became more forced under her surging malevolent aura. It seemed that she understood the hidden insinuation in his words.

Shortly after Leon stopped teasing Duna, his expression turned serious.

”The berserk Three-Legged Golden Crow's numbers need to be reduced. If the Blue Luan's side loses the battle, the berserk Three-Legged Golden Crows will eventually turn their attention on the people behind me.” He explained.

Duna immediately wrinkled her expression.

However, before Duna could say anything, Leon shook his head and quickly added, ”You seem to be looking down on me. My strength has indeed grown by leaps and bounds, but I am not overestimating myself here.”

”If we were still deep inside the sky suppression zone, I would not have dared to join the fight at all. But since we are on the ground, I am at least confident in keeping my life. Besides, this is a chance to befriend the Blue Luan tribe.” Leon explained.

After listening, Duna silently nodded and gave up persuading Leon otherwise. She understood his reasons and knew that it was no use.

”Oh? Are you joining me?” Leon asked after seeing Duna standing up from her seated position.

”Hmph, you're still weak! If I don't tag along, who knows if you will really lose your life or not?!” Duna said snappishly.
