Chapter 86: In the Eyes of Fierce Beasts, Humans Are Also a Kind of Fierce Beast!

"Brother Yin, may I ask, during the last Sparrow Disaster, did our Seven Star City suffer heavy losses?"

Yin Dong hesitated for a moment, his tone somewhat heavy as he said, "There's no need to hide it from you. The entire Seven Star City had over three hundred dead and over seven thousand missing!"

Those missing people are probably dead.

They were simply eaten by the demonized sparrows, not even leaving a corpse behind.

"That serious?"

"We were fine. Xingcheng suffered the worst losses — dead and wounded estimated to exceed thirty thousand!"

"That many?"

Thirty thousand people!

Su Yang simply could not imagine it.

Yin Dong shook his head and said, "You've been staying in the safe zone outside the city for a long time, cut off from news, so you probably don't know the survival state of the entire human race. We are eking out a living in the cracks between fierce beasts!"

"Mm!"

"This time, Xingcheng was caught completely off guard. To the south of Xingcheng is the Hui'an Mountain Range, where fierce beasts are extremely powerful. According to current reconnaissance, there are very likely fierce beasts at Stellar Radiance level or above — and not just one!"

"The beast tides that appear every few years, those powerful fierce beasts never showed up, so Xingcheng didn't dare casually send experts deep into the Xingcheng Mountain Range!"

"This Sparrow Disaster erupted from south of the Hui'an Mountain Range. The demonized sparrows crossed over the Hui'an Mountain Range, triggering a rampage among the fierce beasts inside, and then they all attacked Xingcheng together. Without the slightest warning, Xingcheng was caught completely off guard!"

"Mm!" Su Yang's expression also grew serious.

Yin Dong sighed and said, "But even though they were caught off guard, Xingcheng's City Lord Jian Renhao still dispatched several experts, using flying pet beasts, to send word to the surrounding cities. That's why our Seven Star City had time to sound the air-raid siren!"

"I understand!"

"Actually, around Seven Star City, there are also powerful fierce beasts entrenched here, ones even the City Lord himself has no way to deal with. But luckily, they very rarely appear!" Yin Dong spread his hands. "Of course, if they appeared often, our Seven Star City would have ceased to exist long ago!"

Hearing this, Su Yang felt a heavy weight settle in his heart!

A pressure rose up of its own accord!

For humans to survive in this world — it really is not easy at all!

Su Yang asked a question that had long troubled him: "Why don't those fierce beasts attack us humans, or wipe us out?"

"I've thought about this question before too, and only learned the answer later!" Yin Dong couldn't help but smile. "What do you think we humans are, in the eyes of fierce beasts?"

Su Yang's eyes suddenly lit up: "We are also fierce beasts?"

"Correct!" Yin Dong nodded. "In the eyes of fierce beasts, we too are a kind of fierce beast. Although we humans often think ourselves extraordinary, strictly speaking in this world, we humans are pretty much the same as fierce beasts!"

"Fierce beast clans need to fight for survival resources, and so do we humans!"

"Although we humans have Beast Tamers, the vast majority of us are ordinary civilians!"

"There's no difference between us and fierce beasts — we are all in constant competition, making our clans multiply and grow stronger!"

"So, as long as the fierce beasts aren't hungry, as long as we don't trespass on their territory, as long as the fierce beasts don't take a dislike to us, they won't target us!"

Su Yang nodded seriously: "I understand. Thank you, Brother Yin, for clearing up my doubts!"

"No need to thank me. In the past, seniors once cleared up my doubts too, and in the future, you will do the same for your juniors!"

"Mm!"

"One last thing — besides watching out for fierce beasts, you also need to watch out for humans. Among comrades-in-arms, it's actually fine, but with other people, you need to keep your guard up!" Yin Dong said with a solemn expression. "People, there are good ones and bad ones. Even within our Huaxia Federation, it's not all peaceful — there are always scumbags who pop up from time to time!"

"I'll be careful!"

"Report your height and shoe size, and I'll have someone send the military uniform to your home. Come back in three days, and I'll take you to the troops."

"Alright!"

That very afternoon, Su Yang changed into a First Bar, One Star Second Lieutenant's uniform.

Because Beast Tamers were scarce and were the main combat force against fierce beasts, any Beast Tamer who joined the military was immediately given the rank of Second Lieutenant.

They say people depend on their clothes, horses on their saddles.

Su Yang was already handsome in appearance — bright brows and sword-like eyes — and paired with his crisp military uniform, the whole person looked spirited, steady and dignified, with an extraordinary bearing!

Wearing this uniform made people unconsciously overlook his age!

"Brother looks so handsome in his uniform!"

Su Xiaoxiao said excitedly from the side.

"It's alright, I guess!"

Also that afternoon, Su Wan came by with gifts to visit.

The moment she stepped inside, she received a warm reception from Zhang Xiuru and Su Xiaoxiao...

After Su Wan left, Zhang Xiuru kept asking Su Yang about his relationship with Su Wan.

After Su Yang told his mother and younger sister about Su Wan's identity, his mother finally stopped pressing him.

"Son, do you think that Su Wan might have feelings for you?"
