Chapter 30: The Strong Possess Everything, the Weak Can Only Be Dominated by the Strong

Ye Xuan didn't know what species these birds were before mutation, but being able to survive in the Hangcheng Nature Reserve, they were undoubtedly rare creatures.

Rare means they are weak.

Such weak lives, after their companions were killed by humans, not only didn't produce fear and run away, but actually organized themselves and didn't hide their malice toward humans.

Do they think they can kill humans?

If it were just ordinary people standing here, they might really be injured or even die under their huge numbers; but, it's a pity, the one standing here is him.

Lin Miao didn't know Ye Xuan's thoughts. At this moment, looking at the large number of mutated bird flocks on the trees, she couldn't help but feel somewhat nervous.

She walked to Ye Xuan's side and asked in a low voice:

"What should we do now?"

"There are too many of them, should we retreat first?"

"No need."

Ye Xuan said indifferently, his tone without a trace of fluctuation.

"They are just some beasts."

The moment the words fell, the spiritual power in Ye Xuan's body surged, and the long sword at his waist emitted a crisp sword cry, flying out of the scabbard and hovering in front of him.

On the sword body, golden light flowed, revealing a sharp aura.

The next moment, Ye Xuan raised his hand and waved, and the long sword instantly turned into countless golden sword rays, shooting toward the mutated bird flock on the trees like a rainstorm. Wherever the sword rays passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

"Chirp—!"

A harsh bird cry suddenly sounded, as if carrying endless pain, but it only lasted for an instant before being drowned by the sword rays.

Scarlet blood bloomed in the air, like flowers, and the blood dripped onto the ground, dyeing the mud deep red, and a heavy fishy smell permeated the air.

The mutated bird flock on the treetops fell down in pieces like harvested wheat; their corpses fell from the air, hitting the ground and making a dull sound.

Feathers drifted in the air, intertwined with blood, extremely bloody, yet carrying a kind of inexplicable beauty.

Lin Miao looked at this scene in front of her in a daze, the shock in her heart beyond words.

She had never thought that slaughter could be so—beautiful.

"Do you need the corpses of these mutated bird flocks?"

Ye Xuan didn't care about the blood filling the sky and the corpses falling on the ground. Having experienced death once, he always had a calmness toward slaughter and death that ordinary people couldn't understand.

Otherwise, he couldn't have killed several mutated rats in school without the slightest hesitation.

And Lin Miao, after hearing Ye Xuan's words, also came back to her senses and nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, yes."

"Although I don't know what kind of mutated bird it is, since they have all mutated, then we must taste them."

"But I have to test for poison first."

"I'm afraid they have mutated organs and abilities that can store toxins, making their bodies inedible."

"But even if they are poisonous, they can still be eaten as long as they are processed well."

"And the more poisonous they are, the better they usually taste."

As she spoke, Lin Miao, as if thinking of something, showed an aftertaste expression on her face.

"... You really have a big heart."

Ye Xuan didn't know how to evaluate Lin Miao's mentality.

If it were a normal person, they would have been unable to bear it in the environment filled with corpses and blood caused by Ye Xuan's sword.

But Lin Miao not only didn't care at all, but even thought about the "toxicity" and "taste" that these mutated bird flocks might have.

Should I say that she is worthy of being a chef recognized by the "Garuda Knife"?

"Speaking of which, Ye Xuan, your strength is so strong."

"Whether it was the mutated wild boar at the beginning or the many mutated bird flocks just now, you seem to have solved them very easily."

"Although I had a premonition that you were very strong when I saw that golden sword light that day, but now, I feel you are much stronger than I imagined."

"You are also a holder of a treasure from the Myriad Realms of the Cosmos, right?"

Lin Miao asked Ye Xuan while processing the bodies of the mutated birds, taking out the parts that could be eaten.

Before, she only thought Ye Xuan was a superpowered individual, but she forgot that if it were a superpowered individual, there was no way to possess such powerful strength as Ye Xuan.

"Hmm."

Ye Xuan nodded, not denying it.

He had never thought about hiding the identity of the Wangquan Baye template holder, and there were not a few people who knew this point, so it didn't matter if Lin Miao knew one more.

"Sure enough."

Lin Miao showed an expression of "as expected," and then asked curiously.

"But why didn't you join the Tianshu Bureau, but chose to cooperate with the Tianshu Bureau like me?"

"It's because my parents didn't agree."

"They felt that although I would be protected inside, I would lose a lot of freedom and couldn't do what I wanted to do like now."

"But I actually quite want to join."

She said this with some helplessness, not knowing what her parents were worried about.

Clearly, her ability is only used for cooking, what freedom could she lose?

"The Tianshu Bureau doesn't have anything that can attract me."

"And I don't like being restricted."

Ye Xuan said indifferently.

Without the System, joining an official department wouldn't be a bad choice, but he obtained the System and also possessed the ability to master his own destiny in the future.

Under such circumstances, he naturally wouldn't join a place that couldn't help him.

And he didn't like being directed or ordered.

When a person obtains power, he won't have any good feelings for anything that will restrict him.

Why do people who hold power and people who possess wealth always make mistakes that, in the eyes of ordinary people, they shouldn't make given their status and wealth?

Why are they so greedy when they possess everything?

Because in their eyes, possessing power and wealth, they are different from ordinary people.

Those so-called systems can be used to restrict ordinary people, but they cannot restrict them; they should do whatever they want without having to consider the so-called consequences.

If they were the same as ordinary people and had to bear the consequences of what they did, then what is the point of the power and wealth they possess?

This point won't change in the future either.

It's just that it changed from power and wealth determining a person's status to power determining a person's status.

The strong can possess everything, and the weak can only be dominated by the strong.

Ye Xuan won't hypocritically say that he is different from them. In essence, what he said about not liking to be "restricted" is not to be restricted by anything, and he can do whatever he wants to do. This also includes the systems humans created to bind them.

It's just that he won't do the things that those who hold power and those who hold wealth do.

He has no interest in that kind of boring thing.
