Chapter 2988 The Path Of Survival!
Autumn said confidently, "Young Master, don't worry. I will definitely take control of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers in the shortest time possible."
"We definitely won't let the other Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers delay you from asking about the situation in the blessed land."
Wei Ke had always been proud of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers' strength. But now that he heard Autumn's words, Wei Ke could not help but feel that the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers were very weak. How did they become manipulated by the other party so casually? This was something that had never happened in their history.
Wei Ke braced himself and led the way, bringing Lin Yuan to the First Elder of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers.
The First Elder was the strongest of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers. If Lin Yuan could not defeat the First Elder, the species' crisis would be completely resolved.
If Lin Yuan's subordinates could easily control the First Elder, the entire species would be defeated by Lin Yuan. It would be up to Lin Yuan to decide whether to kill or torture them.
The First Elder, Wei Xiao, was the strongest expert in the species. Wei Xiao's strength had broken through not long ago. After that breakthrough, Wei Xiao's strength was slightly higher than the species leader's.
Wei Xiao was very smart. In a situation where he could not even defeat a powerful enemy, he would definitely find a way to let the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers gain a foothold.
Along the way, Wei Ke brought Lin Yuan and the others to meet many Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers. These individuals clearly treated Lin Yuan and the others as Wei Ke's prisoners.
From time to time, someone would greet Wei Ke.
Wei Ke felt bitter, but his expression was normal. He did not show any abnormality.
If he was the only one who was not too strong, the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers would have the ability to resist.
Wei Ke would pass on the information even if he had to sacrifice himself.
However, the enemy was too powerful. Resistance was useless. Under such circumstances, Wei Ke had to find a way out for himself.
At this moment, Wei Ke heard a soft voice. "You're very smart and sensible. If I want to control the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers, I can give you a manager position."
Lin Yuan's words made Wei Ke feel bitter and happy. It was difficult for Wei Ke to define what kind of feelings he had now.
However, if he could really become the manager of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers, it would be a transformation of fate for Wei Ke.
Previously, because of his bloodline, no matter how outstanding Wei Ke's performance was, it was still difficult for him to obtain room for advancement among the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers.
The Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers regarded their bloodline as everything. In such a species, every member basically determined their fate from the moment they were born.
"Thank you for your appreciation, Lord. If there's such a chance, I won't disappoint you! We'll reach the command center where the First Elder is in a few minutes. The First Elder likes silence. Apart from the First Elder's servants and assistants, there shouldn't be anyone else in the command center! It will be very convenient for you to move around."
Lin Yuan knew that the First Elder only had a few people by his side because he was extremely confident in his strength.
The First Elder's habit made it convenient for Lin Yuan to reach his next goal.
A few Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers were standing beside a building made of all kinds of animal bones and ores.
The Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers shouted and frowned when they saw Wei Ke.
"Wei Ke, why are you looking for the First Elder at this time? You should be guarding the entrance of Camelback Mountain at this time!"
"If someone enters Camelback Mountain through the entrance at this time and discovers the blessed land, causing losses to our species, a mixed-blood fellow like you will definitely be locked up in the Shadow Eclipse Cave to suffer and be punished!"
Hearing these people publicly insult his bloodline, Wei Ke's face turned ashen, but he did not retort.
This was because in the eyes of these pure-blooded Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers, his bloodline was indeed lowly. His current achievement was already the greatest achievement of a non-pure-blooded member in the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers.
In order to prevent these pure-blooded Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers from mocking him and ruining Lin Yuan's goal, Wei Ke hurriedly said, "I'm here to see the First Elder because I caught the leader of the star pirates who escaped. I think it's necessary to bring him to the First Elder so he can interrogate him! Let's see if he has leaked the situation of the blessed land!"
Hearing Wei Ke say this, the guard in the lead said, "Wei Ke, you were just punished because of this, and you actually captured this star pirate group's leader so quickly! Wei Ke, don't have any crooked thoughts or try to lie to the First Elder!"
Wei Ke hurriedly said, "How would I dare to do such a thing?! If I do that and the First Elder exposes me, how can I maintain a foothold in the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers in the future?"
The guards looked at each other and said, "I don't think you would dare to do that. The leader is discussing the mining plan with the First Elder. The leader hates mixed-bloods like you the most. When you go in, you have to pay attention to your words and actions. Don't make him hate you. Otherwise, no one can save you! Since this group of people are captives, take them in with you."
When Wei Ke saw that the guards had relented, he hurriedly bowed to them and led Lin Yuan and the others inside.
Wei Ke said as he walked, "We're really lucky that they didn't pester us too much. Otherwise, we would have to spend more effort to enter!"
Lin Yuan said with a chuckle, "The bloodline of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers clearly doesn't have much of an impact on your strength but the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers actually values bloodline as much as a species like the Bloodians!"
Lin Yuan's words hit a sensitive spot in Wei Ke's heart.
The bloodline was restricted by countless members of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers. The male members of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers were not as picky as the Bloodians in choosing mates. They would choose pure-blooded female tigers for the purity of their bloodline. They were abnormally promiscuous.
As a result, the number of non-pure-blooded members of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers was five times that of pure-blooded members.
It was as if non-pure-blooded members and pure-blooded members belonged to two different species.
These non-pure-blooded members were like the dependent species of pure-blooded members; they were at the mercy of these pure-blooded members. Even though Wei Ke's strength had already increased to the Holy Spirit Realm, he still could not escape such treatment.
In the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers, there was a precedent of being executed for being disrespectful to a pure-blooded member.
Those male tigers would forcefully leave their bloodlines in the species, but they would not nurture non-pure bloodlines.
Wei Ke had grown up with his mother when he was young. It was unknown what he was feeling as he spoke to Lin Yuan, "Lord, if you're willing to subdue the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers and I'm lucky to be placed in an important position by you, I hope you can give me a chance to depose the vices of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers! The value that those non-pure-blooded members of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers can create is actually not inferior to these so-called pure-blooded members at all!"
When Lin Yuan heard Wei Ke's words, he did not immediately speak. He pondered for a moment before saying to Wei Ke, "The bloodline of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers makes the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers only good at combat. The reason why the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers can be so powerful is indeed related to their combat ability, but it's not just because of their combat ability.
"The Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers and other tiger species or cat species feys are constantly breeding bloodlines. In fact, they are enriching the diversity of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tiger bloodline. I will neither deny nor support your ideas and plans. This is your own business. As long as you can create value for me, how you manage and modify the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers is your own business.
"The leader and First Elder of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers are here. It will undoubtedly be much more convenient for me to ask for information later. Autumn, you can move now!"
Lin Yuan had already stepped into the tent made of animal bones.
There were only two members of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers in the tent. These two members of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers sat there with ashen expressions. It was obvious that they were not having a pleasant conversation.
The two Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers shouted at the same time when they saw Lin Yuan, "Who are you? Where did you come from?"
When they saw Wei Ke behind Lin Yuan, their unfriendly gazes landed on him. It was obvious that they wanted Wei Ke to give an explanation.
Wei Ke was obviously very afraid of the First Elder and leader of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers. But things had already happened, so Wei Ke made a decision.
Thus, Wei Ke gritted his teeth and ignored the First Elder and the leader. Instead, he introduced them to Lin Yuan, "Lord, the one sitting on the left is the First Elder of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers, Wei Xiao. The one sitting on the right is called Wei Ao, the leader of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers."
Wei Ke entered the room and did not explain the situation to Wei Xiao and Wei Ao. Instead, he introduced the situation to Lin Yuan.
This behavior completely angered Wei Xiao, who was the First Elder, and Wei Ao, who was the leader. The two of them released their auras at the same time and prepared to put a stop to this ridiculousness.
However, before their auras could reach Lin Yuan, a few wisps of frost and snow completely blocked their auras.
"How dare you! How dare you be disrespectful towards my Young Master?"
After blocking Wei Xiao and Wei Ao's auras, the two wisps of frost and snow rushed in front of them. The moment they touched their bodies, Wei Ao and Wei Xiao felt that they were frozen.
Lin Yuan walked forward and answered Wei Ao and Wei Xiao's question with a smile, "Who am I? I'm the City Lord of Sky City and the person who's about to take over this low-level blessed land. The Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers have eliminated so many species on Camelback Mountain for this blessed land.
"I think it's only right that I do the same to the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers now! Do you think I should eliminate the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers or give you a way out? With your strength and vision, you should be able to tell that my ability to eliminate the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers is definitely not just for show!"
Wei Ao and Wei Xiao were the leader and the elder of the species. They had always been very clear and aware about things.
From Winter's strength, the two of them could confirm that Lin Yuan was telling the truth!
The other party had defeated the two of them with this move alone. The two of them did not even have the chance to resist.
The two of them were the strongest people in the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers. If the old man who could easily suppress them wanted to kill the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers, it would be as easy as drinking water.
It was obvious why Wei Ke was here. The most reasonable reason for Wei Ke's appearance here was that he was controlled by this group of people and had already submitted to their strength.
As the leader of the species, be it for the development of the species or for his own selfish reasons, he definitely did not want the species to be extinct.
As the leader, Wei Ao was the first to speak, "Lord, I hope you can give the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers a way out. Although the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers' strength is inferior to yours, we can still help you share the burden a lot of the time! We are willing to offer our loyalty to you! Not only can I give you everything I obtained in the blessed land, but I can also give you the resources the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers obtained over the years!"
As the leader, Wei Ao made the most correct decision.
Lin Yuan looked at Wei Ao in admiration. The Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers were powerful. Although they were ruthless and could exterminate other species, it was a manifestation of their strength.
Now, in the face of a powerful enemy, the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers could adapt to the situation and retreat bravely. This was the situation of the leader, Wei Ao. As the saying went, he who understood the times was a wise man. Under the survival of the jungle laws, Wei Ao was undoubtedly qualified to be the leader. This was because Wei Ao was really leading the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers to try their best to survive without caring about the immediate benefits.
On the other hand, the strongest person in the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers that Wei Ke mentioned, the First Elder Wei Xiao, roared angrily after hearing Wei Ao's words, "Wei Ao, you are the biggest traitor of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers! As the leader, not only are you leading the species into submission but you also easily promised away the resources that we painstakingly collected over the years.
"Where are you going to take the species from now on? As the First Elder, I disagree with your decision! If you hadn't advocated the slow development of this blessed land, the development of this blessed land would have already reached the final stage. I…"
Wei Ao's expression remained unchanged as he listened to Wei Xiao's accusation.
Wei Ao had always felt that Wei Xiao was capable but short-sighted. Wei Xiao seemed to be saying that if he had listened to his previous suggestion, he would not be encountering the current calamity!
Even if he listened to Wei Xiao's suggestion and stopped caring about the special feys nurtured in the blessed land, he couldn't complete the development of the blessed land now!
Furthermore, the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers did not control a blessed land with a sufficiently high grade.
If there was no way to take this low-level peak blessed land, they would definitely send the experts of the species to guard it. At that time, others would still be able to come after the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers.
The powerful side controlled the fate of the weak. There was no need to lie.
