Luo Kai thought that Huang was walking too slowly, so he carried it on his shoulder. This guy was now nearly 200 kilograms. It was a big lump of fat, and its whole body was slippery. It was not easy to carry.
After leaving Longyang City, they came to the bank of the Inverse Dragon River. After seeing the water, Huang couldn't stop barking excitedly. It slid down from Luo Kai's back, twisted its fat body, and jumped into the water. It played in the river happily. It kept barking at Luo Kai, as if it was asking him to play in the water.
Luo Kai was exhausted at this time, so he didn't have time to pay attention to it. He sat on the bank of the river and gasped for breath. He looked at Big Beard next to him and wanted to say something.
Big Beard was like him, lying on the bank and gasping for breath. He sighed and said, "I'm old and useless!"
Huang saw that Luo Kai didn't go into the water, so it dived into the water. When it came out of the water, there was a fat fish in its mouth. It threw it to Luo Kai's feet and dived into the river again. After a while, it caught more than a dozen fat fish and threw them in front of Luo Kai.
Luo Kai was a little hungry, so he stood up and found some firewood on the bank. He made a bonfire to roast the fat fish. Huang smelled the aroma and immediately climbed ashore. As usual, it circled around him and kept barking.
After the two people and the "dog" were full, they lay on the ground and looked at the turbulent river in front of them in a daze.
Luo Kai was the first to speak, "Big Beard, thank you."
Big Beard turned to stare at him and scolded, "What are you thanking me for? Can you control your temper? There are many ways to save you, but you just had to use force. Now I'm in trouble because of you. I can't stay in Longyang City anymore."
Luo Kai scratched his head and said, "Why can't I stay? You're so powerful!"
Big Beard said angrily, "Awesome my ass. I'm just an old loofah now. I could have been free for a few more years, but now, trouble will bite your ass in the future. You can't get rid of it even if you want to."
"Then let's go. The world is so big. I'm sure we can find a place to stay."
Big Beard's mood gradually calmed down. He shook his head and said, "It's a pity that the Great Generals of the world no longer have a place to stay!"
Luo Kai didn't know what to say. People like Big Beard definitely had a lot of stories, but he wasn't a person who liked to pry into other people's secrets.
After a while, Big Beard looked at Huang who was lying on his back and snoring. He suddenly asked, "Xiao Kai, do you know what a direbeast is?"
Luo Kai had read books about direbeasts before. He nodded and said, "I know a little."
"But you haven't seen direbeasts before, so you don't understand how terrifying they are. You look at Huang now, but as it slowly evolves, its intelligence will become higher and higher. It will have the ability to learn and create like a human. Do you know what this means?"
Luo Kai saw Big Beard's rare serious expression. He sat up and asked, "What does it mean?"
Big Beard sighed and said, "There can't be two suns in the sky. There can only be one ruler in this world. Between humans and direbeasts, only one is destined to survive. This is a dead knot that can't be untied. You saved Huang today, but if Huang suddenly starts killing humans one day, what will you do?"
Luo Kai's heart began to pound again. A strong premonition came to his mind again. He couldn't help but look at Huang who was snoring beside him. He couldn't help but worry, "Then Su Wenlin's Beast Fighting Technique can avoid this situation."
Big Beard frowned and said, "The Beast Fighting Technique is actually a kind of genetic technology. It creates a genetic entanglement between humans and direbeasts. Humans and direbeasts can communicate telepathically, just like a pair of twins. It artificially creates a sense of intimacy, but as direbeasts evolve, their free will will become stronger and stronger. Sooner or later, they will break through this genetic entanglement."
Luo Kai thought for a while and asked, "Is there no solution?"
"There is. Artificially preventing direbeasts from evolving, but this can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. The only way to treat the root cause is to kill the direbeast before it evolves."
Luo Kai was silent. After a long time, he said somewhat unconfidently, "Huang used to be a domestic dog. Even if its intelligence becomes higher in the future, it shouldn't hurt humans."
Huang kept hearing its name. It had already woken up. It opened its small eyes and looked at the two people in front of it in confusion, as if it was asking, "Why did you call me?"
Big Beard stretched out his hand and stroked Huang's fat belly, saying, "We may be worrying too much. The difficulty of direbeasts' evolution is far greater than that of human cultivators. Huang will probably be stuck in the infancy stage for the rest of its life. Even if it's lucky enough to evolve into the growth stage, it won't be a big deal."
Huang knew that this human Big Beard in front of it was a good person who saved it, so it let him stroke its belly and let out satisfied hums.
… …
Today was really too tiring. Just as Luo Kai was about to fall asleep in a daze, Big Beard suddenly stood up, "Alright, Xiao Kai, let's meet again if fate wills it."
"Are you leaving?" Luo Kai also hurriedly stood up.
"Yes, I want to find another place to avoid trouble."
Big Beard nodded. Looking at Luo Kai's miserable body, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom and tossed it to him with a pained expression, "I'll give it to you."
"What is this?" Luo Kai received it doubtfully.
"There's a Tiger Bone Soul Accumulating Pill inside. It's made from direbeast bone marrow. It should be able to heal your injuries. Little guy, don't use that secret technique that overdraws your life force in the future. Looking at your appearance, I estimate that you only have ten years left to live. Sigh!"
Of course, Luo Kai knew his own situation, but every time he was forced to do it, he was a little touched and said sincerely, "Thank you, Big Beard."
Big Beard nagged, "Learn from me in the future. Enjoying life is the true meaning. Don't be too rash. Also, hurry up and find a girl. Don't learn from me. You'll regret it when you're old and no one wants you anymore!"
Old Beard walked a few steps and suddenly turned back, "Xiao Kai, the theory of fate is the most illusory. Don't worry too much about it. Moreover, there are fifty paths, and forty-nine paths, one must escape. Everything in the world will always have a chance to live!"
Luo Kai was stunned. Yes, many things could be true if one believed them. If one did not believe them, they could not be true. If one kept worrying about the theory of numerology, then things that were not originally true might become true. This was the power of the "spirit". There was also a famous Murphy's Law in modern sociology. If one was worried about something happening, then it was more likely to happen.
The knot in his heart these days was solved with Big Beard's words. Luo Kai was in a good mood and shouted, "Big Beard, you haven't told me your name yet."
Big Beard waved his hand, "You can call me Big Beard!"
"Then where are you going?"
A voice came from afar, "The Kingdom of Rosy Clouds."
Luo Kai looked at the direction where Big Beard left for a long time, until Huang began to lick his trousers again.
"Huang, I can't take you to meet people like this. You'd better go back to the sea. Remember, don't get caught again!"
Huang didn't understand what he was saying. It pulled Luo Kai's trousers towards the river. Obviously, it wanted Luo Kai to play with it in the water. When they were in the small fishing village, a man and a dog often went into the sea to catch fish together.
Luo Kai squatted down and rubbed its big head, "Huang, you can't hurt people in the future. If someone hurts you, just run away."
What answered him was two barks. Huang saw that Luo Kai didn't want to go into the water, so it could only curl up under his feet and continue to sleep.
Luo Kai looked at the small porcelain bottle that Big Beard gave him in his hand. There was a small black pill inside, exuding a threatening smell of blood. He hesitated for a moment and swallowed the pill.
The pill immediately exploded when it came into contact with the stomach acid. A hot current rushed to his limbs and bones. The originally shrunken organs and tissues immediately became strong after coming into contact with the hot current. A comfortable feeling spread throughout his body. The surface of the blood scab quickly fell off and new skin began to grow again.
Luo Kai was speechless. This pill was too powerful. It was more than a hundred or a thousand times stronger than the low-level medicine he took last time!
