The Herbal Scents of Farm Life-Chapter 2903 - 2904: They’ll Kill Us!
The two spirit beasts shook their heads simultaneously, thinking this was impossible.
"Did the chief hide everything away? How is that possible?" Captain Liu frowned slightly and asked.
"Aren’t you the grandchildren of the old chief? Didn’t he share some of those treasures with you?" Lin Changhong gently asked alongside.
"No."
The two spirit beasts shook their heads simultaneously.
"In our Qianji Pond, the best things belong to Grandfather alone; how could we possibly get them?"
If they had anything in their hands and Grandfather saw it, at best, the item would be taken away. If Grandfather got angry, they might even get beaten.
It’s not as simple as getting slapped like LuLu; they might survive but would be totally skinned.
Previously, there was one who got caught by Grandfather just because they hid some sparkling crystals picked up at the edge of the Forbidden Forest; they were beaten badly and eventually couldn’t withstand it and died.
Even after their death, Grandfather was still angry and didn’t even dig a hole to bury them, but instead threw them far away.
It was simply terrifying!
That’s why they’re afraid and dare not keep any treasured items on them; if discovered, they would indeed be beaten to death!
"Do you want to go out?" Captain Liu asked them.
"No, we don’t want to."
The two spirit beasts shook their heads; they liked eating fruits, but they were equally afraid of being beaten to death.
"Why not? There are lots of delicious food outside, not just delicious meals but also fun and beautiful sights." Captain Liu continued.
Of course, he naturally didn’t truly intend to trick these two little ones into going out but was just finding an excuse to extract more words from them.
"Outside isn’t like Qianji Pond, which is always cold. In the outside world, spring brings colorful flowers to see, with some flowers even edible like fruits, sweet and delicious.
In summer, there’s plenty to eat, and autumn is another story; it’s the season when fruits ripen, the fields are full of them, all kinds.
Even in winter, the fruits stored from autumn can last until the next spring and won’t run out."
’Gulp.’
The two little ones listened intently and swallowed a mouthful of saliva suddenly.
Just imagining it sounded wonderful, but the two little ones still shook their heads.
"No way. Grandfather said the Qianji Array is inescapable, and humans outside are bad; they’ll kill us!"
"Who says humans will kill you? Humans adore spirit beasts. Not only will they not kill you, but they’ll give you lots of good food." Lin Changhong said.
He spoke naturally as truth; humans upon seeing spirit beasts only hope to capture and contract them, how could they bear to kill them?
Even if the contract doesn’t work, selling the spirit beast can fetch a good price.
Kill them? That’s certainly impossible.
"Really? You’re not lying to us, are you?" The two spirit beasts asked with bright eyes.
"Why would I lie to you?" Lin Changhong questioned them.
"Whether you go out or not, we are humans and definitely have to return, then we won’t have any relation with you. What good would lying to you do now?"
"You’re going back?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
The two spirit beasts widened their eyes at his words.
Going back means not being here anymore, does it mean they won’t even get to eat fruits?
