Chapter 19 The truth of the matter

The night wind blows slowly.

Next to the corpse of the Fire Scale Trident Pig, Shen Zhong's face was as gloomy as water. Shen Cong looked at Shen Zhong with some confusion, while Fang Xingqiu was holding his breath.

However, this heavy atmosphere did not last long. Soon, Shen Zhong looked up at Fang Xingqiu and asked, "The reason why the Silver Moon Wolf retreated instead of leaving after being defeated was because the cubs fell into the hands of the two war gods after they were born?"

"We guessed that it was. It is not easy for a Silver Moon Wolf to give birth, and only its young wolves would let it stay nearby and take the risk of fighting with the two war gods." Fang Xingqiu nodded.

"My brother's team of warriors is just a bait to lure away the Silver Moon Wolf, so that the two War God warriors can easily get the wolf cub, right?" Shen Zhong suddenly asked again.

When Shen Cong heard this, her eyes widened.

“It’s just a guess.”

Fang Xingqiu smiled bitterly, and then said, "But that's why, even though I heard about your 1 billion bounty, I didn't tell you about it. I didn't want to cause trouble."

"This speculation is very possible." Shen Zhong said with cold eyes:

"If you want to get the wolf cubs from the newly born Silver Moon Wolf, you can either snatch them directly or use one of the two War Gods as bait. The success rate is not high, as that will alert the Silver Moon Wolf. On the contrary, a team of warriors at the War General level is nothing to the Silver Moon Wolf. On the contrary, we have a good chance of luring the Silver Moon Wolf away!"

"Yes." Fang Xingqiu nodded.

"And more." Shen Zhong looked at the dazed Shen Cong and said:

"Brother Minghu said that he couldn't escape at all. But after killing our eldest brother and the other two, the Silver Moon Wolf didn't chase him anymore. Instead, it seemed to be attracted by something and quickly left. Now it seems that it wasn't attracted by anything at all, but it discovered that the wolf cub was in trouble, so it quickly returned."

When Shen Zhong said this, Shen Cong basically reacted. Connecting the dots, it was reasonable to have such suspicion, and the possibility was indeed very high.

"But, that's the God of War." Shen Cong was a little confused.

"The God of War is a group of people, not just one person." Fang Xingqiu said with a wry smile:
"There is a fact that everyone in the martial arts circle agrees on. In the wilderness, the greatest danger does not come from monsters, but from other martial artists. If you encounter other martial artists in the wilderness, you'd better be alert, alert, and alert again!"

"Ordinary warriors are like this, and so are the gods of war." Fang Xingqiu said:
"After all, every war god grows up from an ordinary warrior. The war god must be very strong, but his moral bottom line may not be very high."

Shen Cong didn't say anything, she turned and looked at Shen Zhong.

"Everyone is a complex individual and cannot be generalized." Shen Zhong said calmly, and Shen Cong nodded silently.

She was not stupid, so she naturally knew that what Shen Zhong and Fang Xingqiu said were reasonable.

At this time, Shen Zhong also asked Fang Xingqiu again: "Do you know those two war gods?"

"One of them should be Wang Ling, the 'Broken Rain Blade'. The other one looks like a foreign god of war, whom I have never seen." Fang Xingqiu said directly.

"'Broken Rain Blade' Wang Ling?" Shen Zhong nodded and memorized the name.

"Thank you very much." Shen Zhong thanked Fang Xingqiu.

"It's my duty." Fang Xingqiu nodded.

Before saying this, he felt quite stressed, but now that he had said it all, he felt much better.

Moreover, by telling Shen Zhong and the other man the news, he could be considered to be living up to his conscience.

At least I didn't hide it from my savior.

After hesitating for a moment, Fang Xingqiu continued, "I know a little about the martial arts world. Don't be impulsive. If you need anything, I can help you."

"Don't worry, we know the rules and won't mess around." Shen Zhong smiled.

Fang Xingqiu was probably afraid that they were young and hot-tempered and would rashly start a fight in the base city. Although he was overthinking, he did have good intentions.

This person was not saved in vain.

. . .

Fang Xingqiu said goodbye and left.

Shen Zhong and Shen Cong also moved away from here. They found an abandoned building and moved in.

At this moment, Shen Zhong lost interest in continuing his studies, Shen Cong stopped practicing with the sword, and she no longer felt any joy from obtaining a lord-level monster.

"Go to sleep and go home tomorrow." Shen Zhong turned his head and glanced at Shen Cong who was leaning against the wall.

"We want revenge." Shen Cong said suddenly.

"Let's find out the truth first. If it's really as we guessed, then we'll have to take revenge." Shen Zhong said calmly:

"I promised my sister-in-law a long time ago that if my brother was killed by a monster, then I would kill the monster. If it was due to other reasons, I would not let the culprit go."

Shen Cong thought about it and it seemed that Shen Zhong had really said this.

"Have you anticipated that there might be other reasons?" Shen Cong asked.

"Just now Fang Xingqiu said that the greatest danger for warriors in the wilderness does not come from monsters, but from warriors!" Shen Zhong said calmly:

"In fact, my eldest brother has also said this. It's just a reasonable guess."

"Why don't I remember my brother saying that?" Shen Cong was puzzled, but she didn't think much about it.

"Then how do we investigate? If things are really as we guessed, how should we take revenge?" Shen Cong asked again.

If you want to take revenge on monsters, that's easier. Just improve your strength.

But when the target became two war gods, she became a little confused.

"It's very simple. Just become strong enough. It would be best if you can surpass the God of War." Shen Zhong said calmly.

"Surpassing the God of War?" Shen Cong's eyes widened.

"Of course." Shen Zhong nodded.

"It's normal to surpass the God of War. For example, Hong and Lei Shen, the top two strongest men in the world, don't you think they are still Gods of War?"

"You're right." Shen Cong reacted immediately.

"With our talents, there is still great hope." Shen Zhong said nothing more. He closed his eyes and leaned against the wall to take a short rest.

Shen Cong couldn't sleep. In her mind, she was thinking about the two war gods who might kill Shen Shu, and then she was worried about how to become a stronger person than the war gods.
Shen Cong was thinking about all sorts of things and didn't even know when she fell asleep.

When Shen Cong opened his eyes again, it was completely bright outside. Shen Zhong threw the package he had packed to Shen Cong.

The brother and sister each carried a fully stuffed backpack and soon arrived at Base City 007 again.

This time, the two did not sell monster materials here, but Shen Zhong still found the previous staff. He cancelled the bounty on the Silver Moon Wolf and paid the other party for helping him spread the news during this period.

At this point, everything in City 007 was over. Shen Zhong and Shen Cong had no more worries. They boarded the train back to Kyoto Base City and prepared to go home.
