Chapter 21

Lin Xiao stood dumbfounded, staring at the shocking scene in front of him, finally understanding the doubts from yesterday—why different races could live together in peace.

What caught his eye was a dense circle of animals surrounding the orderly beasts from yesterday, with both sides facing each other from a distance of about five meters.

On the side of the beasts, they were orderly, like a regular army, ready to face the enemy.

The circle of animals surrounding the beasts included everything: wild buffalo, black muntjacs, monkeys, gorillas, muntjacs, foxes, hippos—anything you could imagine. Many animals that Lin Xiao didn't recognize had gathered, forming a diverse and motley army. Leading this group was a herd of giant wild boars.

On the side of the giant python, various venomous snakes were facing off, their colorful bodies making one's scalp tingle. Of course, there were also eagles and vultures in the sky.

For the eagles and vultures, this was a feast. What Lin Xiao didn't know was that conflicts like this happened every day at this time, just on different scales. This was why he could witness the unnatural spectacle of a beast army.

Although the beasts lacked human intelligence, they knew how to protect their lives.

With the lead wild boar charging, the animals following it also began to charge.

The five-meter distance was covered in an instant. The wild boar, with its unstoppable momentum and sharp tusks, charged into the tiger camp. In a moment, the two sides clashed. Tigers, known as the kings of the jungle, would not fear wild boars. Roaring, they also charged forward.

The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is an unchanging natural law. Normally, it would take more than two tigers to capture a giant wild boar. Now, with a group of wild boars, they could match the tiger clan.

After the first round of clashes, both tigers and wild boars suffered injuries. A wild boar charged with terrifying force, and a tiger was impaled through the neck and died instantly.

Seeing their companion die, the remaining tigers roared in anger and charged forward.

The wild boars' backs were gradually covered with scratches and bite marks, while the number of tigers slowly decreased. The constant falling of tigers and wild boars was just a small part of this war.

The wild buffalo faced the wolf pack, the hippos faced the bears, and the gorillas and monkeys held back the wild dogs.

The wolf pack's hunting strategy was always to divide and conquer. A group of wolves surrounded a wild buffalo, splitting the herd. Herbivores were naturally at a disadvantage against carnivores. Although a wild buffalo could take down one or two wolves before dying, it was a drop in the bucket.

Gradually, the regular army gained the upper hand. Although the motley army had more numbers, the chaos sometimes led to friendly fire, making the situation even more chaotic.

The motley army's casualties increased, and they began to retreat, thinking they couldn't win today and were ready to give up.

Lin Xiao watched from the tree with great interest, especially when a few skunks appeared and their farts knocked out several wolves, making him chuckle.

Lin Xiao also noticed that the motley army was struggling to hold on. He felt it was time to act. If he didn't, the motley army might retreat, and he would miss this great opportunity.

He nimbly jumped down from the tree, picked up small, sharp stones, and stored them in his spatial bag when his hands were full. After collecting a pile, he returned to the original tree.

*Whoosh*

The sharp sound of the stone cutting through the air came as Lin Xiao threw the first stone.

Uh... Seeing the result, a large sweat drop appeared on Lin Xiao's forehead.

He accidentally killed a wild boar. The stone completely penetrated the boar's head, and it fell instantly. The tiger facing the boar circled it a few times, sniffed the corpse, confirmed it was dead, and walked away.

He told himself it was an accident, just a matter of poor aim, and he would get better with practice.

*Whoosh*

*Whoosh*

*Whoosh*

Another cute gorilla was hit, while the other two missed.

Lin Xiao mourned the gorilla for a few seconds, then looked at the stones in his hand with a serious expression, as if they were national treasures.

"Jade Emperor, Buddha, God, Bodhisattva, Monkey King, Lord Pig, please bless me. Watch my ultimate move." Lin Xiao closed his eyes, clasped his hands in prayer, and blew on the stone.

*Whoosh*

"Ha ha, finally hit." Lin Xiao saw a tiger hit in the leg by the stone, then impaled by a wild boar's tusk, and he celebrated happily.

As time passed, Lin Xiao, who had excellent control over his body, became more adept at throwing stones.

He could hit almost any target, and his involvement gradually evened the playing field for the beast army.

This would be impossible in the human world, where people have intelligence.

But to the beasts, as long as the enemy was dead, they won, regardless of the reason. They wouldn't think about why the enemy might die naturally.

Lin Xiao's strategy of muddying the waters worked well, consuming many of the beasts blocking his path. He was also grateful to the motley army.

His thoughts became clearer, from confusion to clarity. Wasn't this the will of heaven?

It was about time. Lin Xiao stopped, and the motley army would likely win if nothing went wrong.

His attention shifted to the side with the giant python. There were thousands of snakes, and a single strike from the python's tail could kill five or six venomous snakes. However, the sheer number of venomous snakes was overwhelming, like ants overwhelming an elephant.

A dozen venomous snakes jumped onto the python's body, their sharp fangs piercing it and injecting venom. The combined poison of a dozen venomous snakes was incurable, and the python's final counterattack killed the dozen snakes on its body.

The eagles flying high in the sky didn't care what kind of snakes they were. When hungry, they would swoop down and catch one to eat. The snake group had no defense against this aerial predator.

The vultures waited on the nearby trees, ready to feast on the remains of the beasts.

Lin Xiao didn't pay much attention to the python side, as one python could take down twenty venomous snakes. The python would likely win, and he didn't want to fight the venomous snakes.

When the last tiger was trampled by the lead wild boar, the wild boar, in a victorious pose, roared and challenged the giant bear next to the meteorite.

Yes, because of Lin Xiao's involvement, the motley army finally won, albeit narrowly.

Coming to his senses, Lin Xiao looked at the blood-soaked ground, with many bodies turned to meat paste and others missing limbs. A tiger's head, separated from its body, stared at the sky, its eyes wide open in death. Born in the city, Lin Xiao had never seen such a bloody scene before. His face turned pale, and he bent over and vomited.

He vomited until he brought up bile, and only stopped when there was nothing left. His face was ashen, with no trace of color.

He asked himself, was it right to orchestrate such a war?

Supporting himself on the tree, he slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and said to himself, "You did nothing wrong. You were just trying to survive. In this world, the strong rule, and the weak are guilty."

He reaffirmed his resolve to survive.
