Chapter 31： This Is How Love Is

How strong was Wei Huo? Very! 

Wei Huo had not known this as he did not have a reference point to his strength. He had yet to meet someone who was on par with him in terms of strength. 

Not only was Wei Huo centuries ahead of other humans, he was also ahead of all living creatures! That was leverage in itself. While the evolution speed and mutation rates had increased among Earth's living creatures, it was the same for Wei Huo as well. 

Moreover, as a human, Wei Huo was adamant about training every day. He managed to continue strengthening himself after the limiter was removed, and on top of that to feed himself he had to continuously hunt. That indirectly had also improved his combat awareness and skills. 

Therefore, Wei Huo was actually quite strong.

At the very least, he was stronger than the Four-Armed Gorilla in front of him. 

In nature, most animals would choose to run from a predator stronger than themselves but things were different today.

They were all mad today and still continued charging towards Wei Huo although he had shown off his incredible strength.

This was how God designed the game! 

God would never make mistakes. 

There used to be a certain species of squirrels known as European ground squirrels. When its population reached a certain threshold, a mass suicide would occur.

Scientists had yet to find out the reason behind the behavior. They were probably thinking to themselves, 'Why should I bother explaining something that I can't when no one seems to be bothered anyway?'

However, at this very moment, Wei Huo understood why.

That was all God's doing. It was to balance the forces of nature. Just like how wolves prey on sheep, or how tigers prey on deers. Animals were made capable of going crazy.

As the propagation rate of animals increased, adding an 'Animal Frenzy' setting could help reduce the population of both animals and humans. At the same time, animals and humans with higher potential could grow fast amidst the frenzy and surpass their own limits to become stronger than ever.

A stronger presence did not mean their reproduction rate would increase as well. Wei Huo looked back on humanity's history and noticed that a rich, handsome, and capable man would never be attracted to an average girl. The same could be said for a Four-Armed male gorilla, who would never be attracted to an average female gorilla.

This was nature in balance!

Just as Wei Huo concluded his thoughts, a group of ordinary female gorillas sprang out of the bushes. They surrounded the Four-Armed Gorilla and glared at Wei Huo fiercely. 

Wei Huo was left speechless. "..."

'Nope! I'm not wrong because… This is how love is!'

Anything that could not be explained by logic could always be concluded with 'This Is How Love Is'. Why would one not quit from a tough, low-paying job? Because this is how love is. Why would one continue chasing an impossible dream? Because this is how love is. Why would… No matter what it was, this is how love is. 

Although the Four-Armed Gorilla had two of its arms pulled down, it still had two others that were used to pat its own chest as it growled at Wei Huo.

Wei Huo's eyes twitched. He looked at that gorilla and the female ones around it while saying, "Although you have lost, you won something else at the same time."

Wei Huo picked up the sword and blade on the ground. The punches prior were to test his own strength, but alas the Four-Armed Gorilla had yet to push him to his limit. He still could not get an idea of his true strength. However, he had to solve the frenzied animals in front of him as soon as possible. 

Hence, it was time to kill!

Wei Huo extended his leg and charged towards the gorilla. The Four-Armed Gorilla's eyes were red in anger. It growled and charged towards Wei Huo. The female gorillas and other animals that were in the frenzied state were all running alongside the Four-Armed Gorilla. 

Numerous animals came charging, and Wei Huo was suddenly reminded of a movie he had watched —'The Chronicles of Narnia'. There were beasts that were also running around and killing each other in that movie. 

However, Wei Huo was the only one facing these beasts at the moment!

Although he was the only one, that was good enough! 

'That's because I'm of the Rare rank!'

Wei Huo raised his sword and blade and charged forward. His combat skills were sublime. He used to crush his enemies in one-on-one battles, but it was different this time!

The world was not an actual game or to be more accurate, the world had yet to become an actual game. One would not see blood being splattered in games at the very least, and there would not be skulls, intestines, or organs spilling all over the place. 

In actual games, blood would usually be dyed green or pixelated. However that was not the case here — this was God's game!

From God's perspective, humans and animals were insignificant. If you are dead, you are dead. No one cares if it was cruel. If you can not adapt to the cruelty, you will be eliminated by it. That was the rule of the jungle.

That was an inevitable rule of the jungle, and one could either adapt or be eliminated by it. Running away from it would only make you more vulnerable in the face of cruelty. That was why people were still committing suicide in peaceful times.

The fact that Wei Huo had the time to think this much proved that the battle was relatively easy for him. At times, Wei Huo even held back and knocked the animals out rather than killing them. 

The killing needs to stop! 

Overhunting could trigger another Animal Frenzy.

Wei Huo did not want a fourth frenzy to occur right after this otherwise, this would never come to an end.

That was why Wei Huo chose to knock them out or break their legs instead. He would only kill them if he had no other choice.

That was the so-called kindness that stemmed from his advantage, he merely did not want to trouble himself further.

However, at that very moment, the East, West, and North gates of the base were broken into. It was three Rare-ranked beasts leading a huge pack of crazy animals through the gates. They smashed the tower with an automatic machine gun, destroyed traps made with heavy objects, and broken in. 

It was as if they knew where Lu Qiqi was hidden. They did not seem to be bothered by destroying buildings as they were directly headed towards where Lu Qiqi hid! 

Wei Huo scrunched his eyebrows. He only felt stressed at this moment.

It was harder to protect than to destroy!

Wei Huo turned around, pulled the bow from his back, and nocked his arrow as he gradually mobilized the Lightning Force in him. The force eventually lingered on the arrow. At that very moment, Wei Huo loosened his right hand and released the arrow. 

The Lightning Force amplified in strength as the arrow left his hand. The arrow shaft was instantly destroyed by the Lightning Force, but the arrowhead was still moving forward — It was carrying the horrifying Lightning Force.

That was a Lightning Arrow!

It was as if lightning flashed across the sky. The arrow pierced the shoulder of a huge Rhinoceros, and the massive force instantly exploded in its shoulder. The Rhinoceros flew for over 10 meters as if it was struck by lightning. Half of its body was blown to pieces, and the flesh surrounding it was charred beyond recognition. It seemed impossible for the Rhinoceros to survive this. 

However just as Wei Huo shot his arrow, the Four-Armed Gorilla took its chance and threw a punch at him.

In 1994, there was a mass suicide of 300,000 European ground squirrels in Xinjiang, China.
