Chapter 1089 790: Three Fire Ape Race Members
The Golden Light Zones left by the Celestial Dragon Race in the Sin Domain are roughly the same, barely distinguishable from one another.
Moreover, due to the issue of not recognizing different races, Li Zheng feels that every one of these Celestial Dragon people looks almost similar, and sometimes he even thinks that the Golden Light Zones in the seven Sin Domains are actually the same batch of Celestial Dragon people.
"Every time I come here, I feel a sense of awe. If all races could have the pure battle spirit of the Celestial Dragon Race, perhaps the Outer City wouldn't be in its current state."
Li Zheng, hand in hand with Mirel, walks into the Golden Light Zone, looking at each Celestial Dragon who retains the expression from their last moments of life. Once again, he wonders what kind of cohesion could lead so many people to march to their deaths so willingly?
"The Celestial Dragon Race must have had a leader with extraordinary Charm back then, right?"
Even years after death, their battle spirit remains intact, showing that the faith of the Celestial Dragon Race is very pure and not to be defiled.
Mirel said, "You admire the Celestial Dragon Race, do you want to replicate this among the people of Water Blue Star?"
"No." Li Zheng shook his head, "On the contrary, I hope they can retain their own thoughts. Even if some are unwilling to participate in the final war, I won't force them, as long as they don't drag us down from behind."
He thought about stories of certain cowards stirring up the rear while those who fought bravely were killed at the front lines.
If there are such people on Water Blue Star, he would slaughter them all despite any pressure.
Cowardice?
It's permissible.
Everyone fears death, it's an indisputable fact.
But cowardly and at the same time sowing discord?
Then they should just die!
"You're still not hard-hearted enough," Mirel said softly, "Evaders should be regarded as deserters and should all be executed. Otherwise, how could those who fight bravely not feel resentment, why should they risk their lives while the cowards hide and wait for peace after the war ends?"
Li Zheng pondered for a while, feeling Mirel made sense: "That's right, war is a special period and should not be judged by normal standards. It's a crisis for the entire race, not just individual danger; everyone should contribute to the race."
Mirel whispered, "If the time comes and you can't bring yourself to do it, I can do it for you."
She knows Li Zheng is softer-hearted, and if he could truly become hard-hearted, he wouldn't be Li Zheng, and she wouldn't feel safe around such a person.
"No need, I know when to make the right decision." Li Zheng looked forward, sighed deeply, and said, "The cases of those Creation guilds are fresh in my mind; I won't make the same mistake again."
Mirel heard the deep guilt in Li Zheng's tone; she knew he was still troubled by the people of the Starting Point Legion who died at the hands of Creation and such guilds.
She hugged Li Zheng with a heartache, without saying any comforting words.
Because she knows that no matter what she says, it can't truly erase Li Zheng's guilt toward those people.
After a moment of silence, Mirel suddenly asked, "Li Zheng, do you know why I entrusted myself to you in such a short time, even entering adulthood early for this?"
"Why?"
"Because you have a human quality I like." Mirel lifted her head to look at his profile, her hood falling back, revealing her stunning face, her watery eyes filled with a tenderness that could melt anything, except one part of Li Zheng suddenly hardened.
Looking at the Celestial Dragon people around them, Li Zheng knew he couldn't do anything inappropriate here, quickly suppressing the desires in his heart and calming himself down.
"Hehe." Feeling the emotions coming from Li Zheng, Mirel giggled mischievously and whispered in his ear, "Am I that Charming?"
Li Zheng felt his ear tickling and getting warm: "Stop it."
Yet his body was honest, leaning slightly toward Mirel, feeling the breaths beside his ear.
"Master!"
Mudala suddenly stepped forward and said, "We are being followed."
"Hmm?"
Li Zheng stopped and looked back, about three thousand meters behind, there were three figures in Concealing Clothing. These three had appeared two hours ago, and Li Zheng initially thought nothing of it, assuming they were three outer city residents like them, ready to reap some Magic Crystal in the Golden Light Zone.
But now the other party had entered the Golden Light Zone and maintained a three-thousand-meter distance, neither too close nor too far.
The key point is, as he stopped, those three also stopped, revealing the issue.
"Are they coming for me again?" Li Zheng frowned slightly, asking internally, "Did you detect their identity, Old Pu? Is it Nato and his group?"
It shouldn't be so unlucky to encounter Nato every time, right?
[It's not Nato, it's three unfamiliar individuals. Their aura is much like the one you killed recently. Plus, their intent to kill is strong!]
The one killed recently?
Li Zheng's expression shifted: "That Fire Ape Race?"
Of the people he killed recently, the one who left the deepest impression was undoubtedly the Fire Ape Race he encountered while retrieving Mudala, whose formidable fighting Ability left a lasting impression on him.
If he hadn't risked bodily harm to forcefully use Spiritual Power to launch a deadly strike, he might have died at the hands of the opponent then.
