CHAPTER 353: CHAPTER 142 WE ARE ALL CANNIBALS_1

"If you have no further business with me, then I shall take my leave."

A peculiar smile hung on Kaldo’s odd face, one that Wen Yu found utterly repugnant.

"Wait," Wen Yu said reluctantly.

"Where have the Human Race’s magic crystals gone?"

Upon hearing this, Kaldo’s body paused slightly. He smiled and said, "Sir, your strength and authority are insufficient... However, considering your recent state, you might have already guessed it, haven’t you?"

Having said this, Kaldo paid no heed to Wen Yu, who was tightly clenching his fists, and vanished into the void.

Only Wen Yu remained, tightly clutching the black container. He stared toward the central outpost, murmuring to himself, "Exchange Stone Pillar..."

Clutching the black container and the two Human Race magic crystals in his pocket, Wen Yu moved sluggishly toward the exit of the treasure land, like a walking corpse.

Recalling the scene he had just witnessed, countless questions flooded Wen Yu’s mind, his thoughts exploding in a cacophony.

If it hadn’t been for this black container... then the Human Race’s magic crystals would slowly dissipate into the air... perhaps to be collected by the Dominator... then reformed into magic crystals to be provided to professionists...

Magic crystals contained a life form’s Blood and Flesh Essence, and even some unknown elements. When members of the Human Race died in battle, these "invisible" magic crystals were collected by the Dominator and provided to other professionists. Then, when those professionists died, more potent magic crystals were created and subsequently collected by the Dominator...

This scene, it’s like a perverse cycle produced by a Bipedal Lizard! An extremely cruel harvesting cycle! Until the end, every powerful professionist is essentially "fed" by countless human corpses. This act is even more terrifying than that of Cannibals! As for the first batch of magic crystals provided by the Dominator at the beginning of the apocalypse, along with higher-level magic crystals, I can’t help but think of the Humans turned into zombies by the Demonic Qi invasion, and the Flashing Bluestar! What a perfect exploitation!!! What on earth are you trying to do!!!

Wen Yu gently took out the two magic crystals, slowly gazing at their gloss. His thoughts spun rapidly as he tried to guess the Dominator’s intentions.

Unfortunately, aside from his recent conjecture, he found nothing else.

Wen Yu couldn’t even confirm if his conjecture was correct.

A feeling of helplessness washed over him. Wen Yu stood dumbly on the spot, his mind a complete blank.

It wasn’t until a flash from a teleportation signal passed that Wen Yu came back to his senses.

Unknowingly, Wen Yu had been standing in the treasure land, lost in thought for several hours!

In front of him, Kuangliu and Lin Haifeng, both looking haggard, stood watching him.

"What happened? You look even worse than I do," Kuangliu said. He saw Wen Yu standing motionless, a black container in one hand and two ordinary Level 4 magic crystals in the other. He approached and nudged Wen Yu twice.

His injuries from the standoff with the Ancient Demon spawn had been entirely healed by the healing potion.

Wen Yu stared blankly at Kuangliu for a few moments. He opened his mouth slightly but couldn’t utter a word.

After a short time considering all the possibilities, Wen Yu decided to keep this information to himself.

Firstly, this information was just his guess, without any evidence.

The most crucial factor was that without the Exchange Stone Pillar provided by the Dominator, how would the Human Race change jobs? How would they Strengthen? How would they advance? Not to mention, Wen Yu had the Laegihat Magic Mirror in his hand! Without the Exchange Stone Pillar, Wen Yu could not possibly follow the "recipe" given by the Laegihat Magic Mirror to allow his soul pets to advance flawlessly!

Wen Yu squeezed the two magic crystals in his hand, then placed them in the deepest recesses of his space ring. He offered Kuangliu a helpless smile. "It’s nothing..."

"I’m a bit tired. I’m heading back to rest."

Wen Yu greeted Lin Haifeng and walked straight out.

Lin Haifeng and Kuangliu exchanged glances. Kuangliu quickly caught up to Wen Yu in a couple of strides and said rapidly, "Sequence Number 5 is a traitor. It was Sequence Number 5 who released that Demon Fiend and allowed it to escape with some intelligence. Moreover, according to our observations and investigations, Sequence Number 5 may be connected to the Demon Worship Sect."

"You know about the Demon Worship Sect, right? According to reliable intelligence, it’s a large organization composed of Cannibals, based in the Demon Capital Assembly Site. The commander of the Demon Capital Assembly Site, Peng Jun, is possibly the leader of the Demon Worship Sect."

"Mm," Wen Yu casually responded, then immediately climbed onto a military vehicle and drove off.

Kuangliu slid into the passenger seat. Seeing Wen Yu’s distracted state, he furrowed his brows. "What’s wrong with you?"

"Nothing... Also, this mess with the Demon Worship Sect, I don’t want to get involved."

Upon hearing Wen Yu’s answer, Kuangliu’s brows furrowed even more.

"The people of the Demon Worship Sect are scum. They revel in cannibalism and have completely lost their humanity."

"Ah..." Wen Yu sighed and shook his head, murmuring in a voice barely above a whisper, "Cannibals? We’re all Cannibals..."

"What? What did you say?" Kuangliu didn’t hear clearly.

"It’s nothing." Wen Yu shook his head, saying nothing more.

Seeing Wen Yu’s continued indifference and lack of reaction, Kuangliu resorted to his Deadly Weapon.

"If you lend us a hand, Vermilion Bird and I will help you find the divine beast."

Hearing Kuangliu’s words, the spirit slowly returned to Wen Yu’s eyes.

"Give me a few days. I need to rest and adjust my condition."

"Alright. I’ll come find you in three days."

After saying this, Kuangliu immediately opened the car door and jumped out of the moving military vehicle.

Gazing at the towering city walls of the Yanjing Assembly Site in the distance, Wen Yu let out a long breath.

No matter what the truth is, one thing will definitely not change: only the powerful have the right to pry the truth from the Dominator’s hand!

Now, the most critical question before Wen Yu was whether to continue obtaining magic crystals from the Exchange Stone Pillar.

He hesitated for three seconds—only three seconds! A savage glint flashed wildly in Wen Yu’s eyes.

This needs no hesitation, nor is there room for any. As long as I can obtain formidable power, even if it means resorting to cannibalism, I will stop at nothing! Since I can’t change anything, I can only endure passively! Even if I bear all the sins, I will forge ahead! One day, I will tear apart all this fog with my own hands to see your purpose and the truth you’re hiding!
