Reborn as a tiger cub, I'm too weak, so I can only rely on self-discipline.

Chapter 342 We Cannot Be Less Than Beasts

As it turned out, Bai Jue's guess was indeed correct.

After several rounds of bombing, Qin Changyi issued a ceasefire order.

Next, a group of evolved humans and militiamen with good marksmanship went out to chase after the fleeing soldiers.

For ordinary people without superpowers, practicing marksmanship is a good way to enhance their own strength.

However, the ammunition carried by the troops is limited, and it is impossible to feed soldiers unlimited bullets for practice like in the military.

Therefore, many people use firearms under the guise of hunting.

After nearly a month, many people's marksmanship has begun to show results.

Although they can't compare to the regular army, they can at least operate skillfully and their ranged shooting won't deviate too much.

To minimize casualties, the perception-type evolved beings in the team used various sensory means to detect the enemy's location in advance, and then everyone used guns to take them out from a distance.

South Korea, while not a large country, has a considerable population.

Before the spiritual energy revival, there were 45 million people. It's hard to say how many there are now, but there are quite a few second-tier evolvers, and a few third-tier evolvers as well.

Therefore, while a small number of second-tier evolved beings cannot withstand attacks from firearms head-on, they can still take precautions in advance.

However, they were no match for the migrating caravan.

It's important to know that by fishing and hunting in the ocean, the migrating caravans can harvest tens or even hundreds of tons of Tier 3 evolved meat every day, and this amount is increasing every day.

Although a large portion of them were eaten by Cang Nian's family and the tigers of Lin Yuan.

Even though the number allocated to the evolved individuals is not large, it can still significantly increase the number of third-tier evolved individuals.

Now, the number of third-tier evolved beings in the migrating group has exceeded three hundred, which is a far cry from when Kangcheng alone only had thirty to fifty third-tier powerhouses when they first migrated.

Therefore, even though the militiamen in the migration group were not skilled marksmen, many South Korean evolved beings managed to avoid fatal shots.

However, when faced with the Dragon Kingdom's evolved beings who were of a higher evolutionary level and stronger, the South Korean evolved beings, whose morale was already low, could not muster any fighting power and it was a one-sided massacre.

The only thing that could slow their deaths was the discomfort of killing.

Although Qin Changyi's misjudgment in the early stages of the spiritual energy revival in Kangcheng caused a period of chaos in management, in order to eliminate any potential threats, he killed many of the original evolvers and their subordinates.

But that time, most of the killings were done with guns, so it didn't feel very real.

Such close-quarters combat, where the opponent is beaten to death, has only been experienced by Qin Changyi and others before.

Even though I have killed countless evolved creatures, the feeling of killing a human is completely different from the feeling of killing an animal.

However, this is something they have to go through.

After the spiritual energy revival, not everyone will become a friend and partner of this team.

There will always be others like them who will be their enemies.

These South Korean troops are the first batch, but not the last.

……

Thanks to the excellent traditions of the South Korean army, there were no casualties among the Chinese troops in this battle.

The only one who got injured was a militiaman who tripped over a tree root while chasing a deserter and cut his eyebrow.

"This blood pearl is actually a good thing to make use of..."

Seeing the corpses dragged over by the Dragon Kingdom's evolved beings, Cang Nian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Then, without hiding anything from anyone, he summoned the Blood Pearl and used the [Blood Drain] skill on the corpses.

As long as the blood has not coagulated, even if the victim is dead, the blood pearl can extract the essence from the target's body to form blood essence.

As expected, the Dragon Kingdom Evolvers who witnessed this scene had somewhat indescribable expressions on their faces.

The Cang Nian family does not eat people, a fact that the evolved beings of Kangcheng know best.

When Cang Nian used the Blood Pearl to turn a fourth-tier evolver from South Korea into a skeleton, they only thought that Cang Nian was testing his newly acquired magic weapon.

But now, Cangnian has ordered them to bring back the corpses of the South Korean evolved humans they killed, and to use the blood pearl to draw blood from them...

This made them somewhat panicked.

"Ow~!"

Seeing this, Cang Nian, who had just used the Blood Pearl to absorb the corpses of several South Korean evolved beings, called out to Yi Chen beside him and then threw the Blood Pearl into Yi Chen's hand.

The blood pearl was enormous, twice the size of Yichen's head, so he had to hold it in his hands.

"Tiger Lord, are you telling me to bind it?"

Yichen asked tentatively.

"Ow~!"

Cang Nian nodded.

Upon seeing this, Yichen immediately used the method he had learned before to imprint his spiritual imprint onto the spirit of the blood pearl.

Then, he paused for a while, and his expression relaxed.

"Everyone, the effect of this pearl is to extract the essence from the target's body and form something called 'blood essence'."

This substance can promote evolution, and it can also be used to nourish itself, making it stronger.

Yi Chen leaped onto a nearby boulder, then held up the blood pearl in one hand to show it to everyone, while shouting loudly.

"What? It can promote evolution?"

"Then we can use this to evolve faster, right?"

"No wonder the Mountain God asked us to bring back the corpses of the evolved beings from South Korea; so that's what they were for!"

"But isn't this indirectly cannibalism? It feels a bit disgusting..."

……

Upon hearing Yi Chen's loud shout, the surrounding evolved beings immediately began to discuss among themselves.

"but!"

But then, Yichen's loud shout rang out again, interrupting everyone's conversation.

Upon hearing this, all eyes turned to Yichen.

Although Yichen seems like a comical character in front of Cangnian.

But in reality, among the survivors in Kangcheng, and even among the entire team, Yichen's strength is outstanding.

Moreover, due to the extremely comprehensive nature of his abilities, he ranks among the top five of all the evolved beings in the team.

Therefore, no one present would take his words lightly, and no one would continue chatting amongst themselves regardless of the occasion after he clearly indicated that he was going to continue speaking.

"However, when I got it, there wasn't a single drop of blood essence left in it."

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Yichen spoke in a serious and earnest tone.

After saying that, he jumped off the boulder and took Cangnian's place, activating the Blood Pearl to absorb the blood essence from the corpses of the South Korean evolved beings present.

The surrounding evolved beings were still somewhat bewildered, with only a very few showing expressions of sudden realization.

"I understand! Brother Chen means that the blood essence that the big tiger obtained from the corpses of these evolved beings was used to nourish this pearl itself!"

Even tigers don't eat people, nor do they use human blood and essence to promote evolution. How can we, as humans, do such a thing?

Wouldn't that be worse than being a beast?

At this moment, Bai Jue, one of the very few, clenched his right fist, lightly tapped his palm, and then suddenly realized something.

Upon hearing this, the other evolved beings around them showed the same expression, with many looking ashamed.

"Oh dear! Big tiger! Please forgive me! I was wrong! I'll never do it again!"

At this moment, Bai Jue cried out in alarm and begged for mercy repeatedly.

At this moment, Cangnian gently slapped down with its paw, making intimate contact between her petite body and the ground, leaving only her limbs and head exposed, making her look exactly like a turtle.

Cang Nian, on the other hand, bared his teeth.

Is this little girl indirectly criticizing me?
