This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome

Chapter 163 - Commotion on the Internet



Chapter 163: Commotion on the Internet

The old farmer continued to look absolutely confident in himself, as if he had become a god.

Everyone had realized by then that it was not simply an old farmer in front of them. The farmer was only enthralled; it had been the White Ape King talking all the while.

“You humans have taken all the advantage in the past eras, but now that spirit qi is restored to the world, all living beings shall stand on the same starting line again, and you people won’t have so much of an advantage,” the farmer continued with great confidence.

Many were silent as they watched the ongoing inquiry in front of their computers. What the old farmer said made them think, as humans really did not seem to have that much of an advantage in the new era.

In the past, humanity had most prided themselves on their intellectual capacity, which dwarfed all that of other beings. However, with spirit qi being restored, monsters like these would be able to gradually develop intelligence comparable to humans.

If that were to happen, the one thing that humanity took pride in the most would be reduced to nothing.

In an era like that, common folks would have no way of resisting those beasts who had turned into monsters.

The White Ape King had been able to cause over ten thousand deaths in one single night while just running away. Such a thought made a lot of people shiver.

It was especially frightening given how there were increasingly more such monsters to be found, and their numbers were great enough to take over territories for themselves.

They began to wonder if the last bastions of humanity would be reduced to the big cities that currently existed, while all the woods and mountains would be taken over by monster kings instead.

“You want to take territory away from Huaxia, then? In your dreams!” The official representative gritted their teeth while he said this.

“No one would be allowed to do something like that, humans or monsters alike!”

The old farmer simply smirked condescendingly at the official and continued, “That’s not up to you. While it doesn’t matter to the animals who don’t know any better, we monsters absolutely need to have territories of our own. That’s not my decision alone, but the decision of every monster king out there.”

What that old farmer had just said threw the internet into chaos.

The decision of every monster king out there? Was that to say that they were all in contact with each other, then?

So the monsters have already formed a league or something behind our backs?

Many who heard that felt all the hairs on their bodies stand up. The White Ape King alone had made all of them very uneasy and restless, and the situation could only be made worse if there were a whole group monster kings who were communicating with each other in secret.

That notion was more than enough to mess with the mental state of many onlookers.

At that moment, they truly came to feel deeply about this threat to humanity’s dominance. There would be only greater and greater, instead of fewer and fewer, numbers of monsters becoming intelligent as time passed. People even wondered if the cultivation levels of the monsters would get so high, and their combat prowess so strong, that not even nuclear ordnance would be enough to take them out.

It was not impossible, after all.

“If you people won’t agree to hand Shennongjia over, then I shall kill over ten thousand humans every day as your punishment.”

It felt like a tidal wave had hit the internet.

Kill that thing! We absolutely can’t afford to leave that monkey be!

We definitely can’t yield, even if we have to turn all of Shennongjia into scorched earth!

That’s a declaration of war, and we have nowhere to run!

All of the internet was saying that war was upon them, and everyone who lived near Shennongjia began to panic.

Shennongjia was just too huge of a place.

No one could tell where that white ape actually was at the moment. It could really pop out of anywhere.

The population density of Huaxia was such that targeting any single city or town would likely result in massive bloodshed.

Many had even begun packing and getting ready to leave.

No one wanted to become a target, after all.

As for whether doing so would just give the White Ape King what it wanted—humans leaving Shennongjia en masse—no one cared anymore.

“This is too much!” one of the senior officers in the Inner Palace shouted in rage.

What the White Ape King said had been broadcasted live on the internet, causing a commotion all over Huaxia, and even all over the world.

That was because Huaxia was absolutely not the only place where humans were living under the threat of monsters. All the other countries had seen powerful monsters in their midst that night as well.

It was just that none had acted as ferociously or mercilessly as the White Ape King.

However, the White Ape King was not the first to enthrall humans and make them say things on its behalf.

There was even news from overseas that the monsters seemed to be waiting for an opportunity, and what they had done so far was only to make themselves known.

Everyone knew what they were waiting for.

At present, the nine-level cultivation system had Invincible Vajra at its pinnacle, and while Invincible Vajras were very powerful, they still struggled to deal with the firepower of human armies.

The fact that the White Ape King had been chased all the way back to Shennongjia by Huaxia armies and was utterly unable to resist was a testament to that reality.

Being Invincible Vajras by no means meant their bodies had turned into indestructible metal, and even if their bodies had become indestructible metal, they would still melt under all the firepower high-tech weapons were able to bring to bear.

As such, they were waiting. They were definitely not just waiting for the chance to make a breakthrough into Invincible Vajra level, either; they were probably waiting for the day where they could go beyond Invincible Vajra level altogether.

Once such a monster appeared, it would probably pose a huge threat to the current human world that everyone knew, as it would be the herald of true monster kings.

Even high-tech weapons would have a hard time posing a lethal threat to beings such as those, with the exception of nuclear bombs, which in turn would mean turning nukes from unthinkable deterrents into ordinary, standard weapons.

Doing so would surely bring about the end of the world.

That was the very reason why there no other monster kings were coming out to make their point other than the White Ape King. Every monster that was of decent cultivation level was lying in wait instead.

The huge commotion caused by the live broadcast was spreading everywhere like wildfire.

It even began to cause mass panic. Humans had yet to get used to dealing with monsters, as they had only been the stuff of legends until very recently.

Common folks had no way of dealing with the monsters just yet, after all.

Everyone was thrown into a panic by how the White Ape King, who’d simply popped out of nowhere, had emerged to make its point like that.

Just one day later, every single human in a small town near Shennongjia was slaughtered by a great number of beasts enthralled by the White Ape King.

The army only saw the place littered with bodies when they got there.

The internet was all abuzz right away.

Everyone was shocked by what they saw. The White Ape King had made good on its word, killing over ten thousand people in a single day. The ape had made it clear that it was not just bluffing.

Everyone was enraged. The entire internet demanded that the White Ape King be punished and that the animal could not be allowed to live any longer.

The mood in Yunxuan Villa was a tense one, as well. Everyone had seen the news on the internet. The whole world was shocked by so many people being slaughtered, just like that.

It began to give people a sense of urgency.

Lu Xuan, on the other hand, held Lu Guoguo in his arms, remodeling her body with his Spiritual Qi so as to lay a firm foundation for her future.

A grin came across Lu Xuan’s face at that moment as he put his little sister down and said, “Be a good girl, and go play somewhere else, Guoguo. Your brother needs to go out and see someone.”
