67 Reasons

Zhu Long rushed towards the rock demon beast's dead body in high hopes. He wanted another beast core so he could power up once more. He searched around the beast's body for a few moments then had a look of disappointment on his face. Ku Wang laughed at Zhu Long's misfortune. Zhu Long then looked towards Ku Wang with a small smile and said,"Brother Ku, Let's continue to the Qiang Village leaders house. I'm sure that we can now continue on our path at a quicker pace that we have crossed the continent. But I do have to say that this is a really long path that we are taking, are you sure about this being safer?" Zhu Long went straight to the point when talking to Ku Wang.

Ku Wang shook his head,'I guess that being angry also does nothing good, I'll let this go for now…" He looked towards the sky and said,"Brother Lin, My teacher gave me this map, and showed me the path we should take," He took out a map and showed it to Zhu Long. Ku Wang continued," We should continue this way, through the forest, which will let us completely avoid the main battlefields and we can head straight to a smaller chokepoint which lets up cross into the human continent. That choke point is less active now, which lets us pass into the human continent without much problems. There may be some demon there but most of them are there for trading. I ask Brother Lin to keep his words on not acting and attacking the demons as there are some things that we could call immoral.." 

Zhu Long furrowed his eyebrows," Brother Ku, When you said we were taking a long route, I didn't think much of it but now, why are we going through this much hassle to get to the Village head's mansion? Also, what do you mean by trade?" Zhu Long had many questions in his head but asked the two that came right to his mouth. Ku Wang looked at Zhu Long, dead into the eyes and said in a serious tone," Brother Lin, I'll answer your first question a bit later but for the second question… There are many small choke points in many parts of the Human-Demon border. There, many people as well as Demons gather to trade, earn some money or get something valuable. You will see many cultivators there who are searching for materials, weapons and other valuable things at a cheaper price than what you would have to pay in the human continents. It is a free place, where superpowers of both races have made an agreement to not interfere in. There is also another entity, who protects the chokepoints.. No one knows who he is and no one knows why he protects the choke points but what we do know is that the cultivators above the power of Saint stage will face a horrible death. Some had tried to interfere but they mysteriously disappeared.. But, now that I've given the background information on the choke points, I'm sure that Brother Lin can guess what immoral activities could be done…" Ku Wang explained without trying to miss any details.

Zhu Long nodded when he heard Ku Wang's explanation. 'Lets just hope that Senior Brother Ming is right and we do get lucky. That demonic beast wasn't lucky but I hope things get better from now on..' Zhu Long looked dissatisfied when he thought about the rock demonic beast. It didn't give any beast core but that was something understandable, it was a rarity to get beast cores and Zhu Long had already gotten lucky enough to obtain 2 of them. But there was still a small tinge of dissatisfaction in his face.

I walked towards the Police station, which was across the road that I parked my car in. Ms Malory followed closely behind me. It seemed like she was still a little bit frightened but I knew that she was strong enough to get through this moment in her life. She was lucky, I've seen many victims of those types of people. They have their way with women, doing many type of nasty things and the just throw them on the road, like some trash. Those would also be lucky ones as some even get brutally killed off, many by seriously painful and dangerous torture devices, by pricks that like to watch people screaming in agony.

"Ms Smith, We are here, lets go in." I told Ms Smith as I pointed towards the door of the police station. She nodded and looked towards the police station. "Don't worry now, these guys are great people and will help you with everything that you need to catch those punks." I tried to get her in good spirits. Ms Smith looked towards me and smiled," Thank you Mr Carter, you have helped me so much. But I think that I can handle it from here, I can't be dependent on everything, I'm sure that you had some important things to do and I'm just disturbing you.." I didn't even hear half of what Ms Smith said after I saw her smile. I just nodded like an idiot to her words.
