hunt and eat

"Just like this rotten world, it's almost rotten to the root, and even the air is filled with the stench of corpses."

Turning his head and looking around, except for the yellow strips of cloth hanging from the top, everything seems to be the same as it was 50 years ago.

Of course, in the perception of the ancient pagoda, these are all in the form of lines, and it is impossible to distinguish too specific textures and degrees of wear, but generally there is not much difference.

"Even across death, hasn't it corrected your prejudice against this world?"

The pale fairy eyebrows curved into an arc, and the old voice of the Great Elder resounded in the hall.

"Prejudice?" There was a mocking arc on the corner of Guta's mouth, and he said bluntly: "How do you let me love a world where the possibility of progress is completely blocked?"

Having said that, Guta took the initiative to move forward.

"Is it like you, turning a blind eye to everything you know, clearly grasping the power to fight against fate, but just living in a corner to cover up your completely lost courage and faith?"

"Sometimes I really doubt who is the traverser, you or Tagul."

Sighing, the Great Elder said, "Your innate aggressiveness and your terrifying desire to satisfy your curiosity at all costs will destroy this world one day."

"If the progress of a civilization is destined to usher in destruction...then it should be destroyed!"

Guta, who was still moving forward, spoke slowly while maintaining a uniform pace and tone.

His voice was firm without hesitation.

"So that's why you disbanded the entire science team 50 years ago, and instructed them to secretly set up laboratories across the continent to conduct various forbidden experiments?"

Raising his head unexpectedly, the Great Elder's expression gradually became serious.

"Hehe, the forbidden experiment...maybe it is true for you."

Stepping up the steps, the ancient pagoda closed his eyes tightly, supported his knees bent forward with his elbows, and raised his head to "look" at the giant in front of him with a gentle smile on his face.

"Old stubborn, I don't care what agreement or agreement you have with Zulong, but moving to a higher level is the inevitable pursuit of every race and even life, so..."

"This time, don't get in the way."

Facing Guta's provocative attitude, the Great Elder just remained silent, looking down at him calmly.

Several attendants outside the hall heard the movement from inside and wanted to go in, but they were directly stopped outside by Gu Jialuohag, who was the chief.

He shook his head and said with a complicated expression: "Let those two have a good chat."

In the main hall, the tense atmosphere lasted for a full 3 minutes.

It wasn't until the Great Elder stood up first and sighed deeply that he managed to dilute the tense atmosphere in front of him.

"I have lived for a long time, Guta... so long that even the memories of the past have been mixed with instinct." The elder said in a muffled voice.

"You and Tagul both know that since the appearance of the first generation of dragonmen, every subsequent generation has been me... Although I am already tired of opening my eyes, I still can only choose to hug this world."

"Even if it was the last time, I deliberately died in the snow mountain and turned my power into a seal to suppress the ancestor Benglong, but I still failed to break this sad cycle."

"Just because I am a taboo, and I am the guardian of the dragon people... I can't choose my own death."

The Great Elder just looked at Guta who gradually stopped smirking and showed a little thinking face, and continued: "Although I am confused, I still learned one thing during this long time."

"Life should not be profaned."

The fierce aura gradually spread, and the great elder, who possessed overwhelming power and coercion, said in Gujing Fubo's tone: "I never doubted the loftiness of your ideals, but your methods have been distorted to the point that ordinary people cannot accept it. "

"Not everyone is like you, who has the will and belief to stick to the original intention and go to the end no matter what... The mistakes in methods and means will only make other people who follow you lose themselves more and fall into the abyss of the quagmire Among them, I can't extricate myself."

"I have seen too many similar tragedies."

Guta's eyelids shook slightly for a while, but there was still not much extra expression on his face.

The only thing left is the calm like a deep pool.

Soon, he smiled lightly, turned to speak, and talked about another seemingly unrelated matter: "You once asked me a question, Great Elder."

For the first time, Guta stopped calling the other party "Old Stubborn" and used a more formal title instead.

"In my mind, what is justice?"

The great elder looked at the ancient tower in front of him with some surprise, but he didn't rush to speak, just waiting for his explanation later.

"Although I'm not very satisfied with the word justice, it's too arrogant to use the truth to describe it, so it's better to use your words here."

"I, from the first day of forming the science team, I have already had that consciousness."

"Not every like-minded partner can accompany me all the way to the end with the support of faith."

Speaking in a nostalgic tone, the corners of Guta's mouth gradually turned up.

"But at least, at the moment when we shine for our ideals, we ourselves are the most correct justice in this world!"

"Cruel means? Tortuous process? Violation of ethics? It doesn't matter!"

"As long as the final result can reach our expected end point, all sacrifices are worth it... just like the words I used to say."

A right hand was clenched into a fist, and it slapped heavily on his right chest. Guta showed a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and said solemnly:

"My heart and my deeds are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is justice!"

……

Chapter 184 To be alive is itself a kind of bondage!

"It seems that I can't convince you alone."

After listening to Guta's words, the Great Elder showed a somewhat regretful but not dejected expression on his face.

If it can be changed by mere words, then the so-called belief is just a joke.

Every existence that has stepped into the forbidden door, no matter what its position is, undoubtedly has its own deeply believed beliefs.

This point is the same even for himself.

"So... are you going to stop me?"

Guta glanced at the Great Elder with a half-smile and a playful tone.

"To prevent a man of great perseverance from realizing the ideal he has determined with all his heart?"

"I'm not that free yet."

The Great Elder shook his head, and said with some disinterest.

For this result, Guta was not too surprised.

After all, the stubborn old man in front of him was originally such a character.

Although he is extremely stubborn, he never imposes his ideas on others... Otherwise, with the power of the other party that undoubtedly reaches the taboo, let alone the inside of the Hunter's Guild, it is no problem to overwhelm the entire human population .

On this point, Guta still admires the Great Elder.

But it's a pity that the other party's ideas and propositions are something he can't accept no matter what.

A closed world cut off from possibility is undoubtedly just a cage.

For Guta, who yearned for freedom by nature, that was a much crueler punishment than death.

"I just want to give you a final piece of advice before you do the things you've been plotting for a long time."

"No matter what your attitude towards life is, please be sure to consider the feelings of other people."

"At least, don't let those who trust you get hurt again."

Listening to the sincere words of the Great Elder, Guta lowered his head unconsciously.

Scenes of the past flashed across my heart unconsciously, bringing up some complex emotions that had been forgotten for a long time.

There may be joy, there may be sadness, there may be hesitation...but among them, regret is absolutely not included!

Even though his heart was already touched, Guta still didn't want to show it to the person in front of him.

He just sneered seemingly "disdainfully" and said, "I'm not Tagul, I don't need to listen to your orders."

"Leave your teachings to others."

After saying this, Guta was unwilling to stay any longer, turned around and walked slowly towards the door.

When approaching the door, the Great Elder suddenly said behind him: "Tagul, is he really dead?"

The footsteps gradually stopped, and the ancient tower was silent for a moment before turning its back to the elder and whispering:

"Ah, dead... dead cleanly."

"Of course, Neva is the same, so..." Guta suddenly turned around and said with a smile on his face:

"Next time, please don't call me by the wrong name."

After all, without caring about the melancholy elder, Guta opened the curtain in front of the door and walked straight away.

……

"Ancient Pagoda~Ancient Pagoda... What is the purpose of the Great Elder looking for you?"

In the cafeteria on the first floor of the hotel, Weiwei, whose whole face was covered with gossip, was slapping Guta on the shoulder vigorously.

"Some unnutritious nonsense, and little things that don't matter. By the way, why do you want to ask so clearly?"

Guta glanced at the latter, grabbed a large stick bone from the plate in front of him, and gnawed on it.

I haven't eaten for a long time, and now I am really hungry.

"That's the Great Elder, the supreme leader of hunters, the strongest hunter rumored to be comparable in strength to [Annihilation Qing]." Weiwei gesticulated bluffing, trying to make Guta understand the gold content in it.

Cheeks puffed up for a while, and Guta swallowed the salty and just right meat in his mouth, and said slowly: "Correct me, it's not the same, that old stubborn is much stronger than Tagul."

"Of course, it doesn't make much sense to simply discuss the strength of a battle. The outcome of a battle is ultimately determined by a combination of various factors."

Everyone who heard such a secret news suddenly pricked up their ears.

Of course, this does not include Chi Dong.

Compared to the Great Elder who had never seen her before, she was still more interested in the food in front of her. At this time, she was also sitting obediently on the bench next to Guta, with a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, eating fresh food with incomparable elegance. Baked dragon steak.

Although she was an out-and-out dragon in the past, in order to make her thinking closer to humans, whether it is the former Neva or other members of the science team, they will consciously teach her the knowledge of the human world, so there are almost no obstacles at the moment. It easily adapts to human habits.

"Great Elder, is it also a taboo?" Nia looked at Guta curiously.

"Of course, and he is one of the very old ones. It is roughly estimated that his actual age is not lower than that of the black dragon." Feeling the scorching and gossip-filled gaze around him, Guta smiled helplessly, and then temporarily gave up eating .

"Have you heard the legend of the dragon people about the dragon people?"

"I've heard it... According to legend, every 1000 years, a powerful dragon will appear and lead the dragon family to glory."

"The Great Elder is the giant dragonman of this generation, meow~" Qiao Qiao stepped on the bench under her, waving her paws excitedly, and unconsciously brought on the unique oral habit of Elu cat.

"Well, this legend is indeed widely spread." With one hand supporting his head and the other lightly tapping on the table in front of him, Guta continued: "But the legend and the actual situation often have discrepancies. "

"Isn't this legend true?" Mie Jin asked with his head tilted on the wooden table.

"Well, the dragon people do exist, but there are too many mistakes and omissions in the saying that a dragon person appears every 1000 years."

Guta turned his head and scanned around his companions, seeing that they were all quite interested in this, so he didn't make too much fuss, and simply revealed the answer directly.

"Whether in the past or now, there will always be only one dragonman."

"What do you mean?" Nia looked at Guta with some puzzlement.

"It means that every generation of dragon people you understand in the usual sense...is a great elder."

"The legend of the dragon man itself is composed of his long and boring life."

pat~

The fork in Weiwei's hand fell directly to the ground, and her jaw dropped completely.

"This this this..."

"It's nothing to be surprised about." Helping the latter to restore his nearly dislocated jaw back to its original position, Guta shook his head and said lightly: "Every king of the population who has reached the taboo field may still have many troubles, but no matter How... life and death are no longer a question for them to consider."

"No, you can even say that."

"Living, for them, is itself a kind of bondage."

……

Chapter 185 The wild dragon reappears, hunting the gods!

The morning sun shines through the sparse tree cover and falls straight to the front of the hotel, bringing out mottled spots of light.
