180 Monkey, Please Come and Play (1/2)

Gorillas have never been a strong and resilient creature. Compared to those natural born hunters like jackals, wolves, tigers, and panthers, even though it has a strong physique, its sensitivity to pain and fear of death made it less capable in combat.

Though this Silver Back Gorilla has succeeded in its cultivation and inner core, it still inherited the flaw of its species—the biological instinct. Its cultivation was not weak, but its guts and cultivation were not commensurate; it was very afraid of death. The reason why its master fancied it was that it was relatively smarter than other spirit beasts, thus, in the situation where too strong of force wasn’t needed, it could assume a sole responsibility for an important task.

And, Silver Back’s reaction was indeed worthy of its master’s expectation. The moment it was defeated, it correctly guessed that the two young cultivators before it were likely to be gifted disciples from a big sect. Immortal Cultivation Family from Celestial Water Lake could never produce such strong Foundation Establishment cultivators. These two must have borrowed the Celestial Water Lake Family identity to go out on experiential learning. Thus, Silver Back immediately assumed the indomitable martyr image—for those who lacked experience, young cultivators who still held an idealistic view of the world, the martyr image was easy to gain sympathy, and also the easiest way to escape with its life. Although Silver Back was a spirit beast in origin, it has gradually become familiar with human nature.

Unfortunately, this time, the opponent that it encountered was clearly not so easy to cheat. For this survival method of Silver Back, Wang Lu’s response was two simple moves: cut off its fingers and firmly step on its head. These two moves instantly scattered all of its thoughts, replaced only by an intense sense of fear that could not be dissolved.

Then, Wang Lu’s cold voice passed into its ears.

”Now I will ask you questions, and you will answer. If you can’t, you die, if you use any tricks, you die.”

Silver Back repeatedly nodded without the slightest hint of revolt, much less dare to utter out conditions. It has seen from their behavior that, compared to its highway robbery method, the opponents were obviously more ruthless, lawless, cold-blooded, and without the least bit hesitation. If it dealt with them even a bit carelessly, the other party would not hesitate to kill it.

”Let’s start with simple one. Name, sex, age, species.”

”... Silver Back, male, gorilla, 136 years old.”

Wang Lu’s indifferent voice continued, ”Good, next question. I heard that the Beast Master School is collecting spirit dog in the vicinity of Grand Cloud Mountain, why is that?”

Silver Back was surprised. He never thought that the other party would actually ask this question. This was his sect secret, if leaked from his mouth, then…

However, Silver Back only hesitated slightly, but Wang Lu’s Sword of Mount Kun did not. The sword was unceremoniously inserted into Silver Back’s stout arm. The giant beast howled as blood gushed out like a fountain.

”You can slowly think about the wording, but the longer you think about it, the more blood will flow.”

Wang Lu said with an indifferent tone as he withdrew the sword and then pointed it at Silver Back’s nape.

Silver Back tremblingly opened his mouth and was about to speak when he heard Liu Li questioning Wang Lu with a frown, ”Senior Brother, I remember in the sect rules. It is written that we can’t inflict tyranny to weak creatures.”

It was such a heavenly music to Silver Back ears. Though he had suffered severe wounds and thus couldn’t kowtow to her, he couldn’t help but still want to send out several praising words.

Well said. How could disciples from upright sect inflict abuse on the weak? Even if you must kill, you mustn’t inflict torture!

However, in the face of Liu Li’s serious question, Wang Lu didn’t go on to explain too much.

Despite the fact that Beast Master School has no one to blame but themselves—highway robbery attempt in broad daylight, blatantly trying to snatch a spirit dog and not hesitating to injure and even kill the target—using violence to curb violence toward this kind of bandit behavior could already be considered as being lenient.

However, in light of Liu Li’s cognitive ability, was there any use to explain its complexity? Therefore, in reply to her question, Wang Lu just said with a smile, ”I’m not abusing but cooking.”

”Cooking?” Liu Li’s eyes widened in amazement, once again feeling that her brain capacity was not enough.

Wang Lu chuckled. ”Have you ever tried gorilla sashimi?”

”Em…” Liu Li knitted her brows awkwardly.

”Later, we will have live monkey brain. This is just a necessary step in cooking, in no way this is being sadistic. So, you can rest assured.”

Liu Li’s willowy eyebrows stretched up, and she grinningly said, ”I know that Senior Brother is good, you definitely won’t violate the sect rules!”

Silver Back’s jaw dropped on the spot: No, this is absolutely wrong! How can this bullsh*t explanation be accepted? Which sect has such undignified rules!?

Unfortunately, he didn’t have much time to think as the Sword of Mount Kun began to prick into the back of his neck. The intense pain took away Silver Back’s ability to think. As a spirit beast that was not good at enduring pain, Silver Back really could not withstand this.
