“Dragon Slayers are the common enemy of all races. Although we are weak, we can’t just leave them to do what they please and do nothing. They would kill us all sooner or later anyway, so someone must come out and stop them. Even if we can only kill one of them, we could decrease their strength by a little.” The handsome elf guy Lin En made Yue Yang speechless.
Yue Yang remembered there was a saying spoken by a German pastor, Martin Niemöller, “When they massacred the Jews, I didn’t speak up because I am not a Jew. When they massacred Christians, I didn’t speak up because I am not a Christ follower. When they captured the Communists, I stayed silent because I am not a communist. In the end, when they wanted to kill me, no one spoke up for me…
If the slaying of dragons happened in the Soaring Dragon Continent, no one would oppose the Dragon Hunters.
Most of the people would think that it was nature’s law.
Killing dragons and getting their dragon crystal was a human’s basic desire. It’s alright to kill anything, as long as they need it, they could even kill their fellow humans, let alone dragons.
Maybe there were only a few of people who thought that killing too much would disrupt the harmony of the community, destroy the environment and the ecosphere. However, they would definitely not dare to stop the Dragon Slaying Hunters.
At the most, they would only curse them in their hearts.
There would be people who protest slaying the dragons, but would there people who took action against the Dragon Hunters?
No!
Amongst humans, such a fool would definitely not exist!
That was definitely a death-seeking action. Forget about having the ability to stop them, even if they had it, they might even ignore the Dragon Hunters evil acts because they were worried that their future would be afflicted. There might even be people who joined the Dragon Hunters enthusiastically, becoming one of the Dragon Hunters to reap huge benefits.
What was the Giant Dragon’s wrath and the hundreds of beasts’ cries?
Those things, who would care about them? The deterioration of the environment and nature, who would care about them?
Yue Yang was completely shaken by the few idiots in front of him… They clearly knew that their enemy was much stronger, yet they still advanced bravely to the battle. Inside these Ox-head people, Orcs and Golden Elves’ brains, could it be that they were filled with rocks? Couldn’t they be more flexible, returning to the Warrior’s Guild first then coming back to fight with more reinforcements?
“This is throwing away your own life. Let’s give up our quest and return to the Warrior’s Guild. We can ask for reinforcements and come back here again!” Yue Yang advised.
“Good idea. You should go back, then! Bring Bao Er with you.” The handsome elf guy Lin En patted Yue Yang’s shoulders and nodded, showing his agreement.
“That was really a good idea…” The Ox-head girl Fan Lun Tie laughed coldly without any tinge of ridicule.
“I, I wouldn’t run away just before the battle. Even if I die, I won’t leave. Let this coward of a human escape, I am a brave Golden Elf, I am a noble member of the Moon God Royal Guard, I will definitely not escape in the face of danger. I, I am not afraid of death, because death would only bring me back into the Moon God’s embrace!” The big loli elf girl Bao Er’s lips was trembling. It was obvious that she was actually afraid of dying. (Shiro: Moon God – KIV. Translating is subjective, it can be translated as Moon Goddess too. Will need to see the context in future chapters.)
“Good Bao Er, you are really a brave warrior!” The four Orc girls praised her in chorus.
“You guys are making her throw away her life. She wouldn’t be able to withstand any of the opponent’s attacks. What use could her little bow and arrow do? Make her opponents lose a strand of hair? Have you guys ever thought that the moment you failed, not only would you die, you would also miss the chance of capturing them. Bao Er and Anna’s purity might even be tarnished by the enemies. This will be the result of your reckless heroic act! You want to defeat the enemy, that I understand, but before you guys become stronger, this method is completely illogical. It’s completely wrong, I can’t accept it!” Yue Yang was furious.
“Even if we die, the Moon God would not let us be humiliated. We will offer our lives. No one will be able to sully the Moon God’s disciples.” Anna’s breathtakingly beautiful face revealed a smile. She looked at Yue Yang as if she was a big sister looking at her younger brother, gently nodding her head, “What you said is completely right. Our choice of action might not exactly be the best choice. However, the worth of a life living in this world is not measured by how much wealth he acquired or how smooth-sailing his life journey was. It is measured by how much he could enjoy freedom and heart-felt happiness… If he can’t, no matter how strong he is or how rich he is, he is still poor and weak. My words, you might not be able to understand it, but one day you will, because you are different from other humans. Think about it, if an enemy is threatening your freedom, making you feel unhappy, what will you do? Fight! I believe you will fight. But of course, your method of fighting is different from ours. You can endure and kill your enemies after you have grown stronger, but we can’t. That’s why we choose this method… There are no right or wrongs in our fighting method, your method is right, but our method is not wrong either. We only have different opinions, but we are both fighting in our own way.”
“So you would rather die and fight? Do you think sacrificing your lives for nothing to your enemies worth it?” After listening to Anna’s lecture for a long time, Yue Yang asked.
“There’s value. The value in our fight is not by how many enemies we defeated, but in our hearts. We definitely couldn’t tolerate this kind of behaviour. They can kill us, but they wouldn’t be able to change our mind, soul and will.” The Ox-head party leader Li Ao patted Yue Yang’s shoulders, “We won’t force you, because you are human, you are different from us. You can stay, or return and report to the Warrior’s Guild… Amongst all the humans I’ve met, you are one of the best youngster. Live on your life happily!”
“Sleep…” The Golden Elf handsome guy Lin En covered Bao Er’s face with his hands for a while. A green light flashed and Bao Er immediately collapsed. Anna carried her softly.
The Golden Elf Lin En spoke to Yue Yang, “Take my sister away She is still a child, please bring her to my father. You don’t have to care about the things that happen today. In Tong Tian Tower, there are a lot of small parties like us. Everyday, there would be people dying and new people entering. A warrior’s grave need not be with their families. Everywhere can be our final resting place, be it in mountains, forests, snow or sand. Our fighting method is different, but there is one certain thing between us, we are both excellent warriors!”
“I have really never seen anyone who are more determined to throw away their lives like you guys… Forget it, I won’t leave at the mean time. Maybe I can try talking with those Dragon Hunters. Maybe they would consider my advice seeing that I am also of the human race, maybe they will consider leaving afterwards.” Yue Yang thought to drive away those fellows, so that these stubborn Ox-heads, Orcs and Golden Elves wouldn’t die for nothing here.
“No, if you go, you will only throw away your life. They will never listen to anyone’s advice.” The Golden Elf Lin En shook his head, he didn’t agree with Yue Yang’s plan.
“Idiot fool, go ahead and do it. When you are killed by them, I will avenge your death. I will definitely kill one of them at least!” The Ox-head girl Fan Lun Tie slapped Yue Yang’s back strongly, and laughed out loud at the same time.
The human Dragon Hunters party had already discovered Yue Yang’s party. Two of the four Level 8 Intermediate Emperors flew over towards them like lightning.
When they saw Anna and Bao Er’s appearance, they immediately smiled wantonly.
The tall and skinny one on the left chuckled lewdly, “What a good day, it’s been a long time since I tasted a Golden Elf. It should have been 20 year at least. I never thought a Golden Elf will serve herself on a silver platter in front of me today!”
“Among those two, compared to that mature-looking Golden Elf, I like the young sleeping one better. When I think about her crying out in pain as I rape her, I couldn’t help having goose bumps from the exhilaration and anticipation. That young one must be a virgin. After we finished raping and killing them, I can slowly drink her delicious blood. Hahaha, wouldn’t that be awesome!” The other man who had a heavily-muscled body and did not wear any top completely ignored everyone there as he laughed out loud in ecstasy.
“Can you consider letting them off on my behalf, as a fellow human race? We will leave immediately.” Yue Yang knew that he was wasting his breath, but he must confirm what kind of existence these Dragon Hunters were.
“Who are you to say that? Human? Do you think we don’t roast human and eat their flesh? Don’t think that because you are human, you can give us orders like that! In the Tong Tian Tower, there are no difference in races. As long as you are strong enough, then every living thing is either food or slaves, you understand? You think that just because we are both humans, I will be so generous and let you off? Dream on! You bumped into me, just think about it as your bad luck! With just the likes of a weakling like you, you still dared to act like a hero? Do you want to make me laugh until my jaw dropped? I say, little boy, have you drunk your milk yet? You are so naive and foolish, what kind of place do you think Tong Tian Tower is? Your nursery? If you don’t have the ability, then you can only die!” The tall and skinny guy spitted on the ground as he taunted Yue Yang rudely.
“I think a donkey has accidentally kicked this fellow’s head, I’ve never seen an idiot like him. With your power, I am really curious about how you could still survive in the Sixth Floor of Tong Tian Tower. Little boy, let me tell you one fact: the weak are prey to the strong. Come and kill us if you have the ability to do so! In your next life, if you still have a next life, you must remember. If you don’t have the ability, you should just hide behind your mother’s skirt and let her protect you your whole life just like how a mother hen would protect its chick. Remember not to go out of your house, otherwise people might just accidentally stomp a fool like you to your death!” The heavily-muscled guy laughed out loud.
“…” The Ox-head Party Leader Li Ao, the Golden Elf handsome guy Lin En, the Ox-head girl and the four Orc girls were all looking at Yue Yang.
No one spoke, but Yue Yang could feel that they were trying to console him.
It’s just that they didn’t know how to.
Anna who was carrying Bao Er walked to Yue Yang’s side and said gently, “You are just like my little brother, kind and smart. It’s just that you lack experience. I am very happy to have met you. Take Bao Er and leave now, you are still young, you shouldn’t die here. We will open a path for you. Use the teleportation stone and leave. The Golden Elf race and I will always wish you good luck. Although you are a human, you are really excellent!”
Yue Yang looked at Anna and shook his head. He didn’t take Bao Er who was in her arms.
He stopped Lin En, Li Ao and the others who wanted to advise him, and walked, step by step, towards the two Dragon Hunters.
“Did you say the weak are prey to the strong? If you have no ability, you should let yourself be killed and slaughtered? I have learnt a lot from your words, a lot… Since that is the case, you guys should just die!” Yue Yang was completely furious. Faster than lightning, his hands moved towards the tall and skinny guy’s face. Yue Yang’s Star Explosion Domain of Power exploded. That tall and skinny guy didn’t even have a second to struggle before his head immediately exploded.
In the next second, Yue Yang appeared in front of the heavily-muscled guy…
