Absolute Destiny Game

Seeing a group of bird demons eating their companions, the 'monsters' were stunned to death, with their mouths open and their faces full of horror.

A few sheep-headed men and tauren were a little better. After all, they had Ying Baiyu's promise and knew that they could probably survive.

The pig-headed man's two legs were trembling, and the fat all over his body was shaking due to trembling.

Ying Baiyu had not forgotten him yet. While slowly wiping the blood on his hands, he asked the pig-headed man: "What about you? Who are you? Don't tell me that you are also a farmer who has escaped from rent?"

Before the pig-headed man could speak, several tauren and goat-headed men spoke first.

"Report to your Majesty, this person is the head of Zhujiazhuang. He is here to capture us and bring us back to pay the rent."

When Ying Baiyu looked at the pig-headed man, his eyes suddenly flashed with a stern expression, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What I hate the most is that you are such a tyrannical henchman. Haha, it's okay, I just have an extra meal for my brothers today!"

The pig-headed man was so frightened that he quickly begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me, I am also following your orders."

"It's a good thing to act according to orders. As the saying goes, the emperor's salary is divided into the emperor's worries. Since you took the food, wages and money of the owner of your village, you should keep this life."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and took a long knife in his hand, cutting off his head with one blow.

Poof!

With just one strike, the pig-headed man was split in half alive.

The movement here immediately attracted the attention of all the bird demons. This pig-headed man was covered in fat, which looked much fatter than the eagle demon.

Ying Baiyu said calmly: "Why are you still standing there? This one is much fatter than that big eagle. Let's eat enough today, brothers."

"Haha, the king still feels sorry for us."

“What are you waiting for—quack!”

All the demons immediately swarmed up and started biting the pig-headed man's body.

For these monsters, whether they are monsters, beasts, or the villagers outside, they are nothing more than food.

Ying Baiyu said to the frightened farmers again: "You guys should leave quickly before they finish eating, unless you want to stay and join the gang."

Those people hurriedly escaped after hearing this.

A crow spirit swallowed as he watched the escaping figures, then offered the pig's head as if it were a treasure, "My lord, don't you want to eat some? This pork is very fat and tender, just perfect for drinking."

Ying Baiyu snorted in disgust, "You can eat it yourself, and don't worry about those farmers anymore." After saying that, he fluttered his wings and flew back up.

The crow spirit screamed strangely, whether it was anger or fear. Suddenly, a bone-eating demon bird pounced over, picked up the pig's head in one mouth and ran away. The crow spirit hurriedly chased after it and snatched it away. There was another chaos.

Naturally, Xiao Jie didn't go up to grab the food. He watched the whole process, but what he saw was a movement in his heart. Ying Baiyu hadn't completely turned black yet, but if he continued to stay among such monsters, it would probably be a matter of time. It just so happened that he would be there today. Let me give you a way out.

A flying cloud chased the moon, Xiao Jie flapped his wings and flew into the eagle's nest.

A somersault landed on the edge of the eagle's nest. The eagle's nest looked like a bird's nest from below, but it was much more spacious above. It had a shed and a cover, a floor paved with wooden planks, and some tables, chairs and benches against the wall. Although it was simple, , quite complete.

It seems that even though Ying Baiyu became a monster, he did not get rid of human habits.

At this moment, Ying Baiyu was standing on the edge of the eagle's nest, looking into the distance in trance.

Xiao Jie followed Ying Baiyu's gaze and could vaguely see the towering crown of the giant tree in the Giant Wood City in the far southeast.

Xiao Jie thought to himself that Ying Baiyu seems to still miss his past years in the Tianyu Army. He is completely different from other monsters. This actually gives him a little more confidence in recruiting people.

The background introduction about Ying Baiyu that he had read before came to mind again.

Ying Baiyu was originally a lieutenant in Canglin Tianyu Military Academy. He was sent home due to his failure in conquering the mountain monsters. Unexpectedly, when he returned home, he found that his ancestral home had been occupied by local powerful men. His father was also beaten to death due to a fight with the powerful men. Ying Baiyu... In anger, he assassinated a powerful man and fled into the Three Forests, turning into a monster...

It reminded him of a plot in a certain movie.

Just as he was thinking about it, Ying Baiyu suddenly said in a cold voice: "How dare you come up without my order? Could it be that you are tired of living?"

"I see that the king hasn't eaten, so I came here to bring you some food." He said, right-clicking on the secret dog food in the bag and choosing to give it as a gift.

A meatball suddenly appeared in Ying Baiyu's hand.

"What is this?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. These are not human flesh, but made of venison, mutton and wild boar. They are not made of monster meat, but ordinary wild beasts."

"Hmph, so what if it's just a monster? It's not like I haven't eaten it before." Although he said it harshly, he still couldn't help but take a bite.

Ying Baiyu took a sip, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "It tastes good, you are really interested - speaking of which, why haven't I seen you before?"

"I'm a newcomer here. I came here to join the team after hearing about the great king's feats. It's a pity that Master Xiaoyue doesn't know how to be a hero. He didn't let the king make the decision. He let the hero bleed and shed tears in vain."

Ying Baiyu said displeasedly: "Shut up, don't be rude to Master Xiaoyue."

Xiao Jie was deliberately surprised and said: "Why did the king say this? If it weren't for the real person Xiaoyue, how could the king end up like this?"

"Hmph, what do you know? This matter has nothing to do with the real person. It is the work of the powerful bully in the village. The real person has no choice but to issue a reward order. After all, we have to consider the impact. I did kill people and turned into a demon. If I don't do something It looks like someone must be spreading the word that Zhenren is protecting his old subordinates. Those people are definitely capable of such a thing. "

"Ah, it turns out that's the case, but it's just a lie. Has the king ever regretted his original choice?"

"So what if I regret it? When I was a child, I listened to storytellers in the village telling stories about many monsters. The monsters in the stories punished rape and eliminated evil, and enjoyed grudges. I thought that becoming a monster would give me freedom and do whatever I wanted. I no longer have to be bound by rules, but I didn’t expect..."

Ying Baiyu walked to the edge of the eagle's nest and looked at the ground at his feet. The two corpses had been eaten away, leaving only the bones, but the monsters were still biting and snatching them. The scene was quite bloody.

"But I didn't expect that monsters would be like this... What they say about gratification and revenge, about punishing rape and eliminating evil, they are just leading the beasts to eat people. Now think about those stories about monsters punishing rape and eliminating evil, they are just eating good people. I just ate some evil people." Ying Baiyu's tone gradually became confused, "Tell me, do you think I did something wrong?"

Xiao Jie said: "Of course your Majesty did nothing wrong. If I were in my place and encountered something like that, I would naturally kill someone.

After killing someone and not being able to just capture them, naturally they can only turn into monsters. "

Ying Baiyu clenched his fists, "If you're right, then why am I so unwilling? So uncomfortable?"

Xiao Jie suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha, does your Majesty think that as long as you do everything right and choose the 'right' path for everything, you will have nothing to worry about? Then you will have no regrets in life?"

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not. As the saying goes, nine out of ten people are unhappy in life. How can there be so much fairness in the world? Some are only the weak and the strong. This is true for beasts and monsters, and the same is true for humans. It's just that beasts and monsters are naked and unabashed and want to eat. Just eat.

Human beings want to maintain superficial moral rules, but they have many scruples about eating.

This society is made up of people, and the court is also made up of people. As long as you are a person, you will have selfish motives, desires, and the pain of exploitation.

The king is destined to suffer this fate. No matter what choice he makes, he will have to bear the consequences in the end. He can either swallow his anger and live in this world, or he can pursue his temporary pleasure and live in exile.

It is said that one thousand things are ten thousand, and it is only because of the king's bad luck. "

Ying Baiyu looked lonely after being told by Xiao Jie, "So this is how it is? It's just bad luck... Haha, but this shouldn't be like this in the world."

Xiao Jie said with a smile: "What if this is not the case? Is this court pure and honest? Everyone loves each other and does not attack? Do powerful people use justice to spread wealth? Neighbors love each other and help each other? Just think about this kind of thing. Why should the king be so naive?"

Ying Baiyu sighed, "What you said is correct, but it's okay for people to have such selfish desires. Why do monsters..."

Xiao Jie said with a smile: "This monster is a beast. The purpose of beasts is to eat, drink, reproduce, grow stronger, and dominate. It is the law of nature to eat the weak and the strong, so why is it strange?"

Ying Baiyu was speechless when he was told, and he remained silent for a long time and said: "Isn't there an ideal world in such a big world?"

"No, unless everyone is a saint, maybe the ideal world mentioned by the king will be realized. However, I have been walking in this world for so long, but I have not seen even the shadow of a saint. Has the king ever seen a saint?"

"Never seen it before."

"That's it, we are not saints, we are just a bunch of rabble, so what can we do? Maintaining the superficial order is already good.

But it’s not surprising that the king would ask this question. After all, the king’s mind is more human than monster. "

Ying Baiyu snorted coldly, "Why do you say that?"

"Because only humans can think about these issues. If it were a monster, how could they be so worried? They only think about what to eat next and where to eat it.

Of course, cannibalism happens among humans, but among monsters, monsters eating monsters is not even news. In comparison, it is better to be human, right?

This world is a bad world, there are only bad things and relatively not so bad things.

The king himself thinks, is it better to be a human or a monster? "

After Xiao Jie's guidance, Ying Baiyu also showed a thoughtful expression after being told.

After a long while, he sighed.

Xiao Jie knew why the other party was sighing. Now he was unwilling to be a monster, but he couldn't be a human being, so naturally he was unwilling and sighed naturally.

But this is exactly what he wants. It's good if you don't want to, and it's easy to recruit people if you don't want to.

Ying Baiyu suddenly felt something was wrong. The words spoken by the fat bird in front of him did not seem like what a monster should say.

"Why are you telling me this? If I don't look like a monster, I'm afraid you will look even less like a monster."

"Hehe, there is no need to worry, Your Majesty. Since everyone is talking to each other, naturally this conversation will not be known to outsiders, but there are some things that I have to say.

Loyal advice may offend your ears, please listen to it, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, whether you want to be a human or a monster, you must abide by the rules.

If you want to be a human being, you have to act according to human rules. If you want to be a monster, the law of the jungle is inevitable after all. Like what happened just now, although the king relied on the strong to bully the weak, he temporarily suppressed everyone's dissatisfaction. But after a long time, acting like this cannot convince the public. I think it is better for the king to make a decision early. You have to make a choice whether to be a human or a monster, otherwise disaster will happen sooner or later. "

Ying Baiyu nodded repeatedly after hearing this. He was a human being after all, so he naturally understood the good words.

These words spoke to its heart, and he could already feel the restless atmosphere of the monsters in the Soul-Dead Forest.

The eagle demon challenged him today. It was hard to say that it was not a test.

But making a choice is not easy. He can't live as a human being, and he can't overcome the hurdle in his heart as a monster. After all, he has been a human being for decades, and it's hard for him to accept eating people and monsters.

Thinking about how high-spirited I was when I joined the Tianyu Army and was promoted to captain, but now I am in such a situation, unable to advance or retreat, and the chances are that I will be unsatisfied. I was so crazy for a moment.

When Xiao Jie saw it, he walked behind Ying Baiyu and used his skill - Soothe the Beast.

On the screen, Fat Gugu stretched out a hand to comfort Ying Baiyu's back.

Ying Baiyu was comforted for a few times before he suddenly came back to his senses, turned his head and glared at Xiao Jie, "What are you doing?"

"Ah, I think the king is uneasy, so I'll comfort him."

"Hmph, take your wings away. It won't happen again. If there is another time..."

[System prompt: Ying Baiyu’s favorability towards you has increased by 1 point. 】

Damn, it’s only 1 o’clock, I’m speechless.

However, it seems that his words have an effect.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Instead of being confused, it's better to eat first before talking."

With that said, he presented some more secret dog food as gifts.

System prompt: Ying Baiyu's favorability towards you has increased by 30 points.

Damn, is that exaggerated? Xiao Jie was overjoyed and thought that this was not just about the secret dog food, but mainly because of his previous analysis. The gift of dog food was more like triggering the system's determination of favorability.

By the way, it should be possible to use the recruitment certificate now, right?

Ying Baiyu is a level 25 leader-level BOSS. If you recruit him yourself, the success rate is only 32%.

But now with this foreshadowing, Xiao Jie feels that he is at least 60 to 70% sure.

Just as he was hesitating whether to take action, he suddenly heard the sound of flapping wings coming from the air, followed by a weird laughter.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is so lively and cheerful, I didn't disturb your meal, right?"

When Xiao Jie looked up, he saw a strange bird, flapping its wings, hanging in the air.

The strange bird had the head of a deer, with blood-red eyes, fangs and sharp teeth in its mouth, a pair of fleshy wings of a bat, and a snake tail trailing from its lower body.

Deer-headed evil bat (hybrid demon bird): Level 24 elite. HP 990.

Xiao Jie was surprised. He didn't expect to encounter the 'strange bird' so easily. He didn't expect that the strange bird was only level 24 and wasn't even a BOSS.

Ying Baiyu seemed to recognize the other party and frowned: "It's you again? I've said it before, you bastards like you from Yao Star Tower should stay as far away as possible."

The strange bird laughed and said: "Why do you say that, Your Majesty? Now that you have become a monster, you will have to look like a monster sooner or later. What is the difference between you and us? Your Majesty has suffered so many injustices. What can you rely on to get revenge?" If it’s not just skills, then what does the Great Sage Xiaoyue rely on to control Canglin State? Isn’t it also strength?

No one in this world can be relied on, only strength is the only reliance, and now the king has such an opportunity to gain supreme power.

And this power can only be given to you by my master, so the king should think clearly about it.

Why not meet my master and listen to his advice. "

Xiao Jie listened carefully and thought to himself that it was not that easy after all. This guy was probably just a small one, and there were bigger ones behind him.
