There is no doubt that things such as dignity and freedom are complex issues that will only be considered on the premise of meeting the most basic survival.
Before that, food, water and safety are the most urgent needs of every life, and we are willing to pay any price for them.
As for the spirit of "better die than be free", or "better die standing than live kneeling", it will never appear on the lowest level who can't even fill his stomach.
What's more, as some ridiculous members of animal protection organizations think, animals are also dignified and eager for freedom.
On the contrary, as long as the food is sufficient and the living environment is relatively comfortable, most animals don't care whether they are kept in captivity for tourists to visit. They would rather stay in the zoo and slowly lose their wildness than go back to the wild to participate in the cruel competition and elimination.
As a bear monster that is still in a relatively primitive state, it can even be said to be a beast, of course, it is no exception.
After trying to get along for a period of time, it found that its strange master not only had no intention to kill itself, but also allowed itself to devour a little spiritual power as a supplement every time it defeated an opponent.
Although this mental power is no different from leftovers, it can meet the daily consumption. With the increase of phagocytosis times, the power is also recovering a little.
Over time, it began to feel that this state seemed good, at least much safer than hunting alone.
Looking at the pet, which is already more than half a person tall, Zhang Cheng suddenly stopped and asked, "how far is it from the place you mentioned last time?"
"It should be coming soon," replied the bear monster quickly.
"But if I remember correctly, that's what you answered forty hours ago. Is it because the word" almost here "in your concept is different from what I understand?" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows and questioned.
Because the world is completely endless white, there is nothing to use as a reference, so he only made a prop from the beginning to calculate time and distance.
Although this is not strictly meaningful, it is still a very small number of data that can be used as a reference.
"Sorry, master, before you taught me, I didn't have a clear concept of distance. In short, the places I can reach before I feel hungry belong to the closer category." the bear monster raised his head and explained carefully.
"So" coming "may be a few minutes, a dozen minutes, or a few hours, dozens of hours, or even hundreds of hours?" Zhang Cheng subconsciously frowned.
According to the rules of the world, all creatures will start to feel hungry and need to find prey to supplement themselves after the total amount of spirit is consumed to a certain extent.
If it is not replenished within a certain period of time, the sense of hunger will gradually disappear, and the upper limit of the total amount of spirit will drop by one level.
In other words, there are only two ways to survive in this world. One is to constantly plunder and become stronger, and the other is to slowly consume their own spiritual power and eventually disappear forever.
Judging from the total amount of spirit before the bear monster, if it eats once, it may not feel hungry for more than half a month
In this boundless and white world, have you been walking continuously for more than half a month?
For life from all material universes, it is a kind of pain and suffering.
In fact, these days, Zhang Cheng would have been bored if he hadn't found some interesting phenomena and encountered some incredible creatures every day.
Just as he hesitated to change his itinerary and change to a relatively easy place to reach, a white world around him suddenly grew a lot of thorns and vines.
Seeing this scene, the bear monster immediately curled up like a natural enemy and shivered in the corner.
"It... It's coming!!"
"Who is it?"
Zhang Cheng obviously saw his pet so timid for the first time. Even his feelings of escape and resistance disappeared completely, leaving only one reaction, that is fear, the deepest fear from his heart.
"It... It's the overlord! It's an invincible existence! Nothing can compete with it. Hide! Hide! Or you'll die!" the bear monster's voice kept shaking, and it was not easy to finish off.
"Overlord? Invincible?"
Zhang Cheng's curiosity was undoubtedly provoked. He narrowed his eyes and patrolled around, trying to find the life that created all this.
Unfortunately, even if he tried his best to expand his spirit, he couldn't find even a living thing around him.
What's more terrible is that the thorn forest seems to have no edge, and its coverage is far beyond imagination.
After more than ten minutes, a giant appeared on the horizon.
It is like a hill, running makes the surrounding ground tremble violently, just like an earthquake.
"This is the overlord?" Zhang Cheng's pupils suddenly contracted.
We should know that in the spiritual world, the most intuitive thing that can reflect the strength of a creature is the body shape.
Often, the larger the creature, the stronger the spiritual power, and the smaller the body, the weaker it is.
A creature with such a huge body must have exceeded some limit in its spiritual power, which is not what he can compete with now.
"I see... This is the overlord!"
Zhang Cheng habitually licked his lower lip and hid himself behind the huge thorns and vines as much as possible. At the same time, his mental strength contracted rapidly.
In the spiritual world, he is now as insignificant as a roadside stone.
But the next second
He was stunned by what he saw.
I saw that huge thing like a mountain, directly another small black spot that was almost ignored, directly smashed to pieces.
Even across a very long distance, you can still feel the abundant spiritual power floating around, just like the tide constantly impacting everything.
"This... Is the real overlord..."
The trembling voice of the bear monster echoed in his ears, which made Zhang Cheng wonder whether his experience summarized through observation these days was wrong, or just a superficial phenomenon, rather than something more complex hidden under the surface.
"Overlord... What is that?"
He frowned and muttered to himself, both as if he were asking the bear monster and himself.
But the bear monster thought that this sentence was asking himself and quickly responded: "the overlord is the oldest and most powerful hunter and the supreme ruler. Nothing can disobey their will. In their eyes, except each other, everything else is food available at any time."
