I Transmigrated Into A Fantasy World To Farm And Build Houses!-Chapter 325: Even Porcupines Aren’t That Stupid

Unknown to him, Eric’s hands had clenched into fists.

Surging rage almost drowned him: "Too hateful, truly too hateful!"

Max patted his head, speaking in a deep voice: "The Kingdom has degenerated to this extent; they are truly seeking their own death."

No wonder a heaven-shaking wave surged in Eric’s heart. No wonder out of nearly three hundred beastmen, only one kitten escaped.

It was obvious that beastmen valued cubs. When fleeing, they would definitely take the cubs first. Even if the journey was fraught with danger and the cubs’ bodies couldn’t withstand it, there wouldn’t be such a huge disparity in the ratio.

Eric possessed the original owner’s memories and also recalled the original plot. In the original work, due to romantic setbacks, the original owner did many excessive things, eventually almost pushing the entire tribe to a dead end, but the punishment was only being expelled from the tribe.

If the original owner hadn’t been too weak, he wouldn’t have died of hunger and cold shortly after being expelled.

From this, one could see the beastmen’s attitude towards cubs. Now the Golden Kingdom was attacking cubs for profit. If this matter spread, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.

Human nobles buying cubs - besides those with special hobbies buying them as pets, there were also some with sick preferences who deliberately abused cubs, and even those who liked watching scenes of beastmen and magical beasts slaughtering each other.

In his previous life, Eric had heard quite a bit about the ancient Roman Colosseum. Thinking of the level of human civilization here, bloody scenes were similar; it was a cruel game exclusively for the nobility.

Coming from a civilized society and having received nine years of compulsory education, Eric really didn’t understand why people liked watching such scenes. Just thinking about it made his hair stand on end. Beastmen fighting magical beasts for survival was a law of nature.

But deliberately keeping magical beasts and beastmen in captivity to fight, intentionally displaying the bloody and cruel side - those "spectators" who liked watching such things were no different from beasts.

Even if treated slightly better as pets, beastmen were intelligent creatures, but human nobles kept them like beasts. When the beastmen grew up, their bodies became larger, or their appearance became fierce, these people would despise and abandon them. What end awaited these beastmen?

The Golden Kingdom pushed its own kin into the hands of those humans with cruel methods. Eric didn’t know what was inside the heads of the beastmen who made this decision.

He looked pityingly at Mun sitting alone between Robin and Phan, sympathizing immensely with her. But Mun was considered lucky; at least she had escaped and could stay in the Hadu tribe.

Her little friends didn’t have such luck.

Those who escaped together might have been captured back by warriors sent by other forces, and who knew what they would face. Not to mention those cubs already sold, who might be undergoing inhumane treatment right now.

Even as pets, to avoid hurting the noble lords and ladies, they would be taught a lesson until they no longer performed actions that hurt humans.

This involuntarily made Eric remember the tigers and lions in circus performances. Often for the sake of money, the teeth and claws of these fierce beasts would be pulled out so that the audience could get close to take photos.

Although he had a human soul, having lived with beastmen for so long and possessing the original owner’s memories, in his heart, beastmen were also his kind, and the tribesmen of the Hadu tribe were even more like family.

Eric dared not imagine how he would feel if one day his tribesmen suffered such treatment.

It seemed Sunflower and the Tiger tribe people didn’t agree with the Kingdom’s actions either; otherwise, they wouldn’t have told him these things. He had once thought, for Sunflower and the others to stay in the Hadu tribe for so long for these small beastmen, the risk borne was huge - was it just because "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold"?

So there was also this reason.

In the original work, these things were all skimmed over. Eric didn’t know when Leo’s mother would ascend the throne to end all these tragedies. Even if the Golden Kingdom still had slavery in the end, at least don’t sell them and the cubs to humans.

Eric hated his own powerlessness.

The beastmen who escaped were only a very small portion.

There were still thousands upon thousands of small beastmen serving as slaves in the Kingdom, along with their cubs. Unknown numbers of cubs had been sold to humans and were experiencing who knows what right now.

"It seems the Golden Kingdom is worse than the Elves. At least the Elves wouldn’t treat their own kind as slaves, let alone sell them like goods," Eric muttered.

No one refuted this sentence. Although Michael, Grass, and Kevin at the table had ugly expressions, they didn’t speak up.

Regaining his senses, Eric realized he had misspoken and silently put a dumpling into his mouth. It was just that the delicious bamboo shoot meat filling had no taste at this moment.

Michael sighed: "Although I hate those Elves, Eric is right. Elves value their own kind very much; such a thing would absolutely not happen."

"Sorry," Eric lowered his head to apologize for his thoughtless words.

He shouldn’t compare Elves with the Golden Kingdom. After all, they were enemies of the beastmen, and the Snow Wolf tribe also had quite a few tribesmen who died at the hands of Elves. Saying such things was truly inappropriate. He had been too immersed in his thoughts just now and hadn’t reacted in time.

Grass put a slice of bamboo shoot for him: "No need to blame yourself, you spoke the truth."

Eric felt very guilty.

He was just thinking, if the Elves had won back then, the coastal land would still belong to the Elves, and all this wouldn’t have happened. The arrogance of the Elves was both a flaw and a virtue; at least they wouldn’t do such despicable things.

Originally, the Golden Lion, Tiger, and Leopard tribes intended to seize the Elves’ land to improve the beastmen’s living environment.

Other beastmen, whether they participated in the war or not, held expectations for them, hoping the Golden Kingdom could truly bring beastmen a good life, not a scene of sleeping in the open and starving in winter.

Who would have thought that since the Kingdom was established, not only had they disappointed the beastmen once, but now they used base and cruel methods against their own kin. Beastmen had always looked down on humans for exactly this point. Now that their own country had become like this, how sad it was.

If following the original work, Leo’s mother taking over the country would be fine. If it continued like this, the anger of other beastmen on the continent would sooner or later overthrow the Kingdom.

"The ones who need to apologize are not you, but the rulers of the Kingdom. Have their brains been swapped with Porcupine brains? Exchanging gold coins from the lives of commoners in the Kingdom without fear of burning their hands," Grass commented viciously.

Kevin shrank his neck.

Although the person making Grass angry wasn’t him, he still flinched reflexively.

Regaining his composure, he said: "Even Porcupines aren’t that stupid."
