Chapter 442: Monster Which Challenged, Jackal

“How could you think of eating each other? What’s the difference between us and the monsters outside then?”

Sharena was extremely dissatisfied with that person’s suggestion.

Everyone could say whatever they wanted. No matter how ridiculous the idea was, they could express it as much as they wanted. What if it helped others open their minds?

Apollo said it himself, but he didn’t expect that someone could even think of eating each other.

Seeing what were discussed by everyone were becoming more and more unethical, such as giving birth to children and eating each other, burying monsters in the ground to see if new monsters could grow, castrating monsters to remove the poison…

Apollo reached out his hand and was about to stop everyone, as he worried that the topic would distract into a dangerous direction, however, Apollo soon thought of something.

Eating each other.

This proposal was only made in this brainstorming under the premise that people could speak freely.

As for the people of the Sky Dynasty, Apollo believed in everyone’s character. Even if they were really going to starve to death, they would not allow such a thing to happen.

However, the monsters were different.

They had a relationship between eating and being eaten. In some monsters, it was normal for them to devour each other.

Moreover, this was not a guess. It was something that happened in reality. The jackals that traveled at night were in this situation.

Then, would they devour each other and end up like breeding venomous insects, producing an unprecedented powerful creature?

Thinking of this, Apollo first denied himself.

It was because even if the monsters devoured each other and eventually produced a monster king, it would definitely surpass Tier Three god-king. It would at least be at Tier Four god-king. Once things developed in this manner, the administrator would make a move to send the monsters up to level four of the Endless Tower.

But Apollo soon remembered something. This administrator was not impartial. He was trying to trip up the Sky Dynasty, hoping that they would be buried here forever.

Therefore, if such a powerful thing really appeared outside, the administrator would see that it killed everyone present and send it up with satisfaction.

Every time Apollo thought of the administrator’s attitude towards them, he would have a headache. He hoped that His Majesty would meet an administrator who supported the Sky Dynasty on the fourth level.

“Everyone, continue to discuss. I’m going out for a while.”

As Apollo said this, he put aside the bustling crowd and let them continue to discuss while he walked out of the tent alone. However, not long after, Simmons followed.

“Apollo, are you worried about something?”

Since Simmons had asked this question, Apollo decided to reveal his speculations about the monster king.

After Simmons heard these words, he fell into a long silence. He did not object to Apollo’s speculations, nor did he nod in agreement.

After a long time, Simmons slowly said, “I can’t answer your question. Before we came here, the administrator must have acted impartially. If a monster king really appeared when the monsters devoured each other, my tribe would have been sent up by the administrator before I could see it. So, I can’t give a definite answer.”

“I see.”

Apollo had planned to get some useful information from the aborigines, but now it seemed that even the people born and raised here still wouldn’t know everything about the world. However, this was also very normal.

Apollo turned his head and asked the people on duty on the tower, “How is it outside now?”

“Nothing unusual, my Lord, it’s the same as before.”

The same as before?

Apollo thought about it in his heart. The so-called same as before, was it from the appearance of the monsters on the first day when they were still fierce, or when they were tired recently and began to show signs of decadence?

Apollo felt that he should go up to take a look personally this time.

He would not normally do this, because he had absolute trust in the people on duty.

Simmons also followed along. Up until now, they had not put up stairs for the tower, because the number of bones was not enough for them to be so luxurious.

After coming up, Apollo found that it was indeed as the people on duty said, everything was the same.

Some of the large monsters had already fallen. Their large size meant that they needed more nutrition. They could not bear the hunger normally therefore they had starved to death at the foot of the Great Wall and did not think of giving up on the siege, and leaving this place.

Their large bodies naturally became the nutrients for other monsters. The monsters nearby were blessed. The monsters that could not be hunted because of their size were now being devoured by others without any struggle.

In order to snatch these food, the small-scale conflicts between the monsters had never stopped. Apollo looked at the few jackals that were fighting among themselves. He could not wait for them to fight to the death. This way, the strength of the monsters would be reduced to the minimum.

“It seems that there is no problem. Let’s go down.”

On the tower, Apollo patted Simmons’s shoulder, indicating that they could go down.

However, Simmons was frowning at the moment. No matter how Apollo reminded him, he was unmoved. His eyes were staring straight ahead.

“Is there a problem?”

Apollo sensed that something was wrong and quickly asked.

“Yes.”

After Simmons answered, he didn’t say anything and just watched.

Apollo didn’t want to disturb him, so he simply looked in the direction of his eyes. There, a jackal-shaped monster was confronting a lion-shaped monster. The two monsters had a conflict because of the food.

“Generally speaking, jackals don’t dare to challenge lions.”

Simmons, who looked like a statue, opened his mouth and smiled. Apollo listened carefully at the side.

“Jackals are usually scavenger monsters. They eat the carcasses of other monsters. They usually don’t take the initiative to fight with other monsters, especially in such a situation where neither side is willing to give in. In the past, jackals would immediately run away with their tails between their legs.”

Simmons made his own explanation. It turned out that the jackal was too brave, which made Simmons suspicious.

“Maybe it’s crazy from hunger, which is why it challenged a monster it can’t defeat.”

Apollo comforted him, but Simmons shook his head without appreciating it. “The jackals which challenged us have long been dead.”
