Chapter 147 Unexpected News

Lu Chi stepped on the severed head of a beast king, then waved at the intelligent-type evolver beside him, and said, "Read its memories. I want to know everything about these guys."

...

Kyosho Island. Li Tianran received a satellite phone call from Lu Chi.

"Boss, I fought with the attackers." Lu Chi's voice sounded heavy in the receiver.

Li Tianran raised his eyebrows. Lu Chi rarely used this tone to report to him, which made him think of some bad things. He calmed down and asked, "Are the enemies difficult? Did we suffer heavy losses?"

"The enemies are not difficult... or rather, the enemies we have encountered so far are not very difficult, but the forces they represent are very troublesome." Lu Chi said softly, "The bandits who robbed us are very complex. Not only are there human remnants, but also a large number of beast kings."

Li Tianran was stunned when he heard this. "Are you saying there are two different groups of attackers?"

"No, it's the same group of attackers. Their members are made up of human remnants and beast kings."

"How is this possible?" Li Tianran stood up from the sofa abruptly, his voice raised several decibels. His brain was spinning rapidly, and he found Lu Chi's words unacceptable.

Beast kings and humans were mortal enemies. Both sides wished they could skin each other alive and make the other disappear from Blue Star completely. This was a deadly feud between two races. If humans and sea beast kings appeared in the same frame, then ninety-nine point nine nine percent of the time they would be at war.

But now Lu Chi was telling Li Tianran that there was a force whose members were actually composed of beast kings and humans, and they got along harmoniously...

This was simply like a fantasy.

"To say they are composed of, actually this word is not very accurate... This force composed of beast kings and human remnants is actually established by a large number of beast kings supporting human remnants. The beast kings provide these human remnants with powerful strength and food supplies, and help these humans plunder resources and establish bases," Lu Chi reported, word by word, "According to the information we obtained from the brains of these beast kings, this force is now very powerful. They have built a huge city on an island near a beast king's nest with the resources they plundered!"

Beast kings helping humans build cities...

Beast kings helping humans create a better life...

This sounded as ridiculous as Japanese devils not killing and setting fires, but helping old grandmothers cross the road. Would beast kings be so kind?

"I seem to know what these beast kings want to do..." Li Tianran rubbed his brow. These abnormal situations were actually easy to explain. The beast kings would never give up their plan to compete with humans for the dominance of Blue Star. The only reason they did such abnormal things was to use the "human" identity of this human remnant army to do things that they, as "beast kings," could not do in the human world.

For example, mixing these human remnants into the human camp to act as spies for the beast kings.

Or to do their best to create a new "human kingdom," and then, by chance, be absorbed by a strong country that was kept in the dark as a younger brother, and finally turn against this strong country in a decisive battle, giving it a heavy blow...

In short, the "human" identity of these human remnants had higher convenience and credibility in the human world than the beast kings. In this kind of war between different races, humans were naturally more likely to trust and feel close to their compatriots.

And the beast kings supported this group of human remnants, perhaps to use this "sense of trust and closeness" to make this human remnant army a trump card in their hands, which would play a key role in the future decisive battle.

"Among these beast kings, the larger, atavistic beast kings serve as food sources; the smaller, powerful beast kings serve as attackers, integrating a large number of human remnants in a very short period of time. This is not only the case in the Bering Sea, but also in many other places..." Lu Chi's voice was a little helpless, "Just from the information obtained from this beast king's brain, I know that in this period of time, there are no less than thirty such human cities supported by beast kings, and this number is rapidly increasing!"

Li Tianran fell silent.

Due to resource shortages and frequent wars, the only countries in the human world that could be considered stable were those few powerful countries. The civilians and armies of most other small countries had become refugees and rioters. Now the number of such human remnants in the world was probably more than three hundred million.

If the beast kings integrated all these human remnants and turned them into their puppets, it would be an extremely terrifying event.

"These beast kings are surprising me again and again. They can always find the weak points of humans." Li Tianran said softly, and smiled bitterly, "I even think that, judging from the cohesion and rationality they show, they have more characteristics than humans to become the rulers of this Blue Star."

Yes, until now, the major powers in the human world were still fighting among themselves, engaging in distorted competition.

But the beast kings, under the rule of an emperor, carried out all their actions according to one idea. For their long-term goals, they could temporarily put aside their hatred for humans, and even offer their strength and flesh and blood to provide living and war resources for their former enemies.

This kind of trait was something that humans could never possess.

In the long run, could humans really defeat the sea beasts?

"No, I'm actually starting to doubt myself... Internal strife is not the inferiority of humans, but the characteristic of all intelligent creatures! Beast kings are not stronger than humans. The reason why they can do this is because of the order of the 'emperor,' that supreme sea demon." Li Tianran suddenly woke up from his self-doubt. He quickly reacted, "If that sea demon is killed, the beast king race will also split and fight each other for their positions. They are no more noble than humans."

"That's right. Although the current beast kings have shown amazing wisdom and unity, their race also has fatal flaws. That sea demon... If she can be killed, the threat level of the entire beast king civilization will be reduced by at least three levels!" Li Tianran made an accurate judgment. "If there is a chance, we must kill her. With her around, the beast king race is growing too fast, and even I feel a sense of imminent crisis."

On the other side, Lu Chi continued, "Boss, we have confirmed the location of the nest of these attackers..."
