"Are you okay?" After Ye Ning let the tiger go back to the mountain in front of everyone, his first reaction was to find Li Yishuang and ask if the person who had proved to be able to withstand the Yanyan Tiger's attack had been harmed.
At that moment, Li Yishuang's heart beat rapidly, and she felt an indescribable uneasiness, as if she was surprised by the sudden break of silence. Once upon a time, their friendship was as deep as flowers blooming under the spring sun. She always took Ye Ning's care as a source of pleasure. However, on that quiet night yesterday, Ye Ning's "confession" was meaningful yet so subtle that it made people feel a little confused.
Now, Ye Ning's every attention touched her nerves, just like every flick on the strings, causing her heartstrings to resonate. She shook her head slightly, and her voice was slow and resolute: "I'm fine."
This sentence seems to be defending oneself, and also like throwing a hard stone on the soft lake of heart. She mustered up the courage to draw a temporarily invisible boundary between Ye Ning and herself.
But Ye Ning had no idea what Li Yishuang was thinking at the moment. After he slowly said "It's okay", he turned around and continued to organize the discipline of the entire team, hoping that they would not be frightened by Yanyan Tiger.
With undisputed majesty and absolute power, Ye Ning demonstrated his extraordinary and shocking strength. Even a top predator like the Yan Yan Tiger seemed powerless and vulnerable in front of him, just like the annihilation before Piaofeng.
His power was like a bolt of thunder striking the heart of the sky, deeply shocking every monster under his "rule", making their fear and respect for him surge like a tidal wave. At that moment, all the monsters succumbed to him, bowing their heads and surrendering under his power. No one dared to have the slightest idea of resistance.
They were moved by Ye Ning's words and tamed by his strength. They willingly accepted his leadership and silently respected him as their king. Their little rebellious thoughts were like mist in the sunshine in front of his strength. , dissipated instantly. They were as quiet as rice and wheat blown gently by the valley wind, and showed no indifference or dissatisfaction with Ye Ning's command. Even if Ye Ning lets the tiger go back to the mountains, none of their creatures dare to stand up and ask questions.
After they returned that night, Ye Ning continued to distribute the remaining small amount of artificial meat so that everyone could have a full meal, which was also a small fulfillment of his previous drawings.
Then they arranged their respective sleeping areas to prevent conflicts and friction between different monsters. After the arrangements were made, he contacted Yu Xuanyao by phone and asked him to prepare some transportation to take these creatures back to Tiancheng tomorrow.
In this late night, due to some of Li Yishuang's own physiological factors, or because of the behavioral habits she developed. She woke up again from the warm bed. In the dark night, she found Ye Ning still not asleep outside the ruins, standing guard there.
There was no Xinghun chatting with Ye Ning today, but Ye Ning still didn't get a good night's sleep. He has to take care of so many monsters, prevent them from conflict, and prevent game monsters from getting up in the middle of the night and doing bad things.
He was mainly afraid. He was afraid that Yan Yanhu's words today would arouse the desire of many monsters to rebel. For the sake of safety, Ye Ning decided to stand guard personally to prevent any accidents.
It may not be unusual for Li Yishuang that Ye Ning goes to bed late, and Li Yishuang doesn't intend to talk to Ye Ning when she sees this. But Ye Ning was keenly aware of Li Yishuang's figure, whispering in the quiet night, and took the initiative to start the conversation.
Li Yishuang was a little shy, but faced with Ye Ning's friendly attitude, she couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse. Although she blushed a little in her heart, she finally chose to share the quiet night with Ye Ning after going to the toilet and talk about life with him. This exchange may not be surprising to her, but Li Yishuang still has lingering fears about what happened yesterday.
Li Yishuang really didn't understand what Ye Ning did today, and asked very curiously: "Why did you let that tiger go and let her leave safely?"
Ye Ning just smiled and responded: "It's very simple, because she was right. Her words were like a breeze, dispelling the fog in my mind. I almost immediately understood the profound meaning she was trying to explain to me, and let I had an epiphany.”
"First of all, think about this question: Why are we able to convince countless animals to adapt to and integrate into our human environment and lifestyle? What are the reasons behind it?"
Looking at Li Yishuang's puzzled eyes, Ye Ning continued to explain: "In the era we live in, the ecological environment is gradually collapsing, and many creatures are facing survival pressure. With the ecosystem facing collapse, for those animals, life has become It has become an extremely difficult challenge, and survival is no longer just a pure word, but a problem that plagues them."
"They need to find a safe harbor, and they need to find a source of nutrients. They are eager to survive, and even more eager to have food to eat, water to drink, and a home where they can live safely. This keen desire to survive, this endless instinct, Let them choose to rely on us humans to live."
"Because of this, they are willing to devote themselves to our human society, hoping to use the power of us humans to survive the difficulties of this era. This choice and decision not only reveals their desire for survival, but also explains They have to rely on us.”
Li Yishuang still didn't understand and continued to ask: "Then what does this have to do with you letting the tiger go?"
Ye Ning continued: "Our deepest wish is to have more lives join us in the human world. However, this requires not only our emotional words, but also facts as weapons to convince us. They. Only by using strong and powerful arguments can you impress them and awaken the awe and trust deep in their hearts."
"When they feel the pressure of survival, when they seek shelter in the smoke-filled war, without the need for gorgeous words or laborious persuasion, they will naturally choose to follow humans, hoping to find new hope for survival in the human world. .”
"It is based on this concept that I let the tiger go. Only under the threat of top predators will they truly feel the pressure of survival and urgently need change. This tiger with a strong body and extraordinary strength, It is my sharp arguments and only him that can make all animals deeply realize this cold and true fact - only by following humans can they find the possibility of survival."
"Tiger roars in the forest, and every animal can hear it; tigers hunt in the ruins, and every heart trembles. They are afraid of tigers, they want to live, and in the end, they will only choose to rely on us humans to live. .”
"That's because they know that only we can provide them with protection, lead them to a wider territory, and allow them to find a new way out under the pressure of survival. This is an irrefutable fact, and it is also my most powerful argument."
Li Yishuang understood in an instant what Yan Yanhu meant when he said, "You are a smart person, you know which choice is more beneficial to you." This tiger's mind was so sharp that it understood Ye Ning's intentions and proposed the best solution without revealing the meaning. Ye Ning also understood her words and told her to hide from her in the future. Click on humans.
Li Yishuang thought thoughtfully, nodded, and continued to ask: "Then, we just let the tiger go and ignore him?"
Ye Ning shook his head and continued: "That majestic galloping tiger may only have a few days left to run freely and live a carefree life under this blue sky and white clouds. Because when all the prey choose to surrender, Man, after seeking refuge, her prey will disappear from sight like the receding plain.”
"Without prey, it would be an endless pale world, like a stretch of wilderness, without life and hope. The pressure of survival would be like an invisible net, wrapping her tightly, oppressing her, and making her There is no escape.”
"However, the instinct of life will guide her to find a new way out and lead her towards the light. I believe that, faced with the pressure of survival, she will eventually make the same choice as other animals, which is to defect to humans. And for In terms of her IQ, she would definitely make such a choice in order to survive."
Li Yishuang nodded thoughtfully.
As the years passed ruthlessly, Yan Yanhu's life gradually drifted away after a few years. The scarcity of food made her feel the hardship of survival. However, she still held on to her inner self-esteem and pride, and she still yearned for freedom.
Yan Yanhu wanders in the vast wilderness, and she once again faces a desperate challenge. The surrounding environment was desolate and silent, and the wind blew past him, bringing only a desolate whistling sound. However, there was an unyielding look in her eyes, and the light of determination would not be extinguished by hunger.
She did not choose to beg for help from humans. She knew that she was no longer the Yanyan Tiger of the past, and that she who once roared in the sky and was filled with radiance no longer existed. But she had no regrets. She raised her head and welcomed the baptism of wind and sand, just like bathing in the dusk in the dunes. She chose a lonely and free situation.
In the end, her thin body was devoured by hunger, and her pride and self-esteem shone like sparks at the last moment. She did not have the weakness to survive, and she chose to end this wilderness journey with dignity. When she left, her old heart was soaked in the desire for freedom in the silent call.
Yan Yanhu, she longs for freedom!
