Ch 28: The Arrival of Extraterrestrial Beings? The Giant Elephant’s Rage

“Di Di, 10:12 PM, Xingyun City.”

“Feili, can you scan for energy residue?”

“Di Di, Older Brother, yes.”

“Analyzing…”

“Done, Older Brother.”

A blue line appeared before Chen Yi.

“Feili, can Skynet access it?”

“Yes, Older Brother.”

“Delete our images.”

“Di Di, deleted.”

Chen Yi nodded and followed the blue line forward. This blue line led to Lingyun Mountain in Xingyun City?

Lingyun Mountain is a restricted area of Xingyun City, an undeveloped natural zone.

It contains a special magnetic field that can interfere with mecha operations and all electronic devices.

“Feili, are you feeling unwell?”

“Di Di, no, Older Brother.”

Feili emerged from Chen Yi’s body, shook its head, and attached itself to Chen Yi’s face, activating daytime mode.

The originally pitch-black night instantly brightened with Feili’s help.

“Older Brother, we’ve arrived.”

What met Chen Yi’s eyes were some extremely dilapidated small wooden huts, from which a faint smell of blood wafted.

“No lifeforms detected, Older Brother.”

Chen Yi continued to walk inside. He discovered many rare large cloudwood trees here. These cloudwood trees cost 20,000 Blue Star Coins per jin.

Many people risk their lives to come here to fell cloudwood trees, but the trees are huge; even ten people might not be able to lift one.

Skeletal Armor is too expensive; no one would waste it on carrying wood.

So, the smugglers choose to tame the Giant Elephants of Lingyun Mountain, subduing them through constant beatings.

Chen Yi walked forward and found a pile of bloodstains near the wood, along with some iron chains of varying sizes.

“Di Di, scan successful, Giant Elephant blood.”

“Replaying simulation.”

A group of cloudwood smugglers instantly appeared before Xu Xing, constantly whipping the Giant Elephant.

Driven by pain, the Giant Elephant could only keep moving forward. For their profit, the Giant Elephant consumed its lifespan.

One day, the Giant Elephant gave birth to a baby Giant Elephant, and they chained it up.

The baby elephant’s cries seemed unable to awaken these people’s conscience.

The Giant Elephant now had a burden, and limitations. As long as the Giant Elephant didn’t work hard, they would constantly beat the baby elephant, and the Giant Elephant could only desperately push forward.

One after another, shockingly horrifying blood marks appeared on the Giant Elephant’s body.

They didn’t care if the Giant Elephant would die, because if it died, there would always be another to replace it.

“Di Di, this footage is a simulation by Feili, combined with other videos.”

“Mm, I understand, Feili.”

Chen Yi fell into deep silence. Were they wrong? Yes, and also no.

As long as there is profit, there will be primary, secondary, and tertiary players.

They were merely the tertiary players, for this so-called cloudwood. When there’s demand, there’s profit; profit makes people flock to it.

The innocent ones are the Giant Elephants. They did nothing wrong; they could have lived freely on Lingyun Mountain, but profit robbed them of their lives.

“Ding, ding.”

Feeling the chill from behind, a figure shrouded Chen Yi. Chen Yi knew who appeared.

“Iron-chained Giant Elephant.”

The powerful pressure, the condescending gaze at Chen Yi, those eyes filled with bloodlust.

“Human, do you think they were wrong?”

The Giant Elephant actually spoke like a human and demonstrated extraordinary intelligence.

“Yes, they were wrong, but you shouldn’t make innocent people bear the consequences.”

“Innocent?”

The Giant Elephant laughed, a mocking laugh like a human’s.

“Humans should all die!”

“They whipped me, beat me, constantly forcing me to carry their so-called wood.”

“My grandmother died here, my mother died here, my grandfather, my father, all died here.”

“This has been going on for decades. How can humans be innocent?”

“Humans should all die!”

Having said that, the Giant Elephant no longer concealed itself. The chains on its body clattered, and it punched at Chen Yi.

“Boom!”

Feili enveloped Chen Yi, transforming to the same height as the elephant, blocking its attack.

Chen Yi then discovered that the Giant Elephant actually had iron plating like a mecha!?

“They like to whip me, so I will make them die beyond death!”

In an instant, their fight “awakened” the entire mountain.

Because it was night, and there was magnetic field interference, it was difficult for people to discover what happened here.

The enraged Giant Elephant attacked even more fiercely, using techniques like a human, not just brute force.

“Could this guy be human?”

“No, no, impossible.” Chen Yi immediately dismissed this idea.

Only someone who has personally experienced it would possess such rage. A human wouldn’t react this way.

However, when you use innocent people as a vent, you are destined to die here.

“Older Brother, its weak point is its left heart.”

The Giant Elephant was no match for Chen Yi. With each punch, the Giant Elephant retreated.

The Giant Elephant’s eyes narrowed, realizing it had met its match, and then transformed into its complete form.

Feili had absorbed countless Monster Crystal Cores; its power far exceeded S+.

Moreover, in terms of skill, the Giant Elephant was no match for Chen Yi.

A nearly sixty-meter-tall iron-chained Giant Elephant appeared on Lingyun Mountain, and the Xingyun City Defense Force also noticed the anomaly on Lingyun Mountain.

“Di Di Di! Message from the Surveillance Bureau: Unknown energy detected on Lingyun Mountain.”

Feili instantly transformed into a giant humanoid form, and Chen Yi wielded the Triumphant Sword.

The purple light shining from the Triumphant Sword caused the Giant Elephant to instinctively dodge. It knew it was no match for Chen Yi, but it didn’t run.

“Full Liberation, Feili.”

“Received, Older Brother.”

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes, remembering the dead Defense Force members, his killing intent unconcealed.

“You should never have involved innocent people.”

“They were wrong, but not all humanity should suffer.”

“Heh! What about humanity’s excessive greed, excessive development? When every animal loses its home, why don’t you say anything!”

The Giant Elephant issued a mocking sound, mocking Chen Yi’s ignorance.

“When they went extinct, wasn’t there human fault?”

“The oceans, the land, the high mountain environments are in crisis, they are homeless, don’t you humans have fault?”

“You cherish your homeland, isn’t our homeland a homeland too?”

“All humans are guilty!”

“Yes, they were wrong, but you should find the source of the wrong.”

“We are just ordinary people. Those who harmed you are the guilty ones, but why should ordinary people suffer? Profit cannot be shared equally, but why should the guilt be shared equally?”

“They did nothing, yet you labeled them as guilty.”

Chen Yi severely wounded the Elephant Beast with a single strike. It fell to the ground, looking at Chen Yi, dying.

“Heh, you are the victor, history is written by you. No matter how it changes, you are always right.”

“Your so-called right is based on the premise that you are the victor.”

“Only the victor can interpret the so-called justice.”

The Elephant Beast unwillingly closed its eyes. It remembered everything with its family, then reverted to an ordinary Giant Elephant.

Chen Yi remained silent, quietly looking at the corpse of the Giant Elephant, lost in thought.

Its body bore countless scars, dense like blood vessels. It could have removed the chain, but it chose to keep it.

“Older Brother, I feel a little sad…”

“It’s okay, Feili.”

Chen Yi won, but he also felt like he lost. Were humans really wrong?

He didn’t know. He only knew that he should do his best.

Chen Yi carried the Giant Elephant and discovered numerous remains nearby, all corpses of Giant Elephants.

Those remains could even form a small mountain. Near the remains were a few flowers, probably planted by the Giant Elephant.

Chen Yi put down the Giant Elephant, burying them together. Chen Yi plunged his sword into the Giant Elephant’s heart, extracting a dark green crystal stone.

This crystal stone should be the reason for the Giant Elephant’s transformation.

“Feili, analyze it.”

Chen Yi knew that the Giant Elephant was now just like him.

It killed those who killed its mother, and Chen Yi killed it.

Wasn’t that just like what it was before?

And the mastermind behind all this was still at large.

He needed to find the mastermind behind all this.

What he did, he could face with a clear conscience.
