Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 120 Nationwide Beast Tide, Human-Demon Negotiation

Lin Chen wasn't idle either; he and Xiao Bai began helping with the reconstruction work.

During this process, he also found Qin Hao and the others, and was relieved to learn that they were alright.

This time, all major forces suffered casualties, and some forces even had their assets confiscated.

However, as long as you're alive, that's all that matters.

As long as the strength remains, everything can be rebuilt.

At this moment, Wu Ying sat in the hall of the Monster Hunter Guild and said in surprise, "Your Nine Star City actually has a God-Emperor?"

It's clear that Wu Ying is very curious about Qin Shaoshao's identity.

A deity, that's something only found in big cities.

A single deity is enough to represent the strength of a city.

Not to mention, Young Master Qin is also a Celestial Spirit Body.

Every time this type of physique appears, it causes a national sensation.

"I think what we care about most is this beast tide."

Li Zhen's complexion had recovered considerably despite his broken arm.

It wasn't until Huang Xiaotian informed him that Li Zhen realized that not only Jiuxing City, but also other small cities had been attacked by the beast tide.

Some cities are still occupied by monsters to this day.

Thanks to Qin Shaoshao's intervention, the casualties in Nine Star City were not severe. The death toll was 5,680, the number of injured exceeded 100,000, the number of spirit beast deaths exceeded 10,000, and the number of injured exceeded 200,000.

"Are these demonic beasts trying to restart the war between humans and demons?" Wu Ying frowned.

Many small cities in the Cangling Ancient Kingdom are now sending out distress calls, and the entire country is in a tense atmosphere.

"What do you think they want to do?" Huang Xiaotian asked Lin Chen beside him as he helped carry the planks.

“The fact that these monsters didn’t carry out a large-scale massacre means that their fundamental goal isn’t to fight to the death,” Lin Chen said while working with Xiao Bai. “Then there’s only one goal: negotiation.”

“But didn’t we already reach an agreement at the very end of the Primordial Era?” Huang Xiaotian said.

"If the world peace agreement remains in effect for a long time, there will be no large-scale wars," Lin Chen said with a wry smile.

Huang Xiaotian sighed.

Lin Chen told Xiaobai and the little fox to rest first. He sat on the ground, took a sip of water, and said, "Would you like to hear my guess?"

Huang Xiaotian nodded.

"My guess might make you feel a little uncomfortable," Lin Chen said.

Huang Xiaotian asked in confusion, "How did you know beforehand that they would definitely come back?"

“It’s very simple,” Lin Chen said. “They attacked the granary not as a feint, but to seize the city and stockpile their grain.”

"At first, I thought the same as you, but then when I heard the captain of Team Nine say that it was the same in other cities, I realized what was going on."

"Behind these powerful demons, there are even stronger demons; otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence."

"According to my estimate, the grain in the granary should only be enough for these beast tides for about a week, so in the next two days, the powerful demon behind the scenes will come to negotiate with the human race's high-ranking officials."

"Then what do you mean by feeling uncomfortable?" Huang Xiaotian asked, puzzled.

"They might be targeting the Monster Hunter Guild," Lin Chen said.

Huang Xiaotian thought for a moment, and also thought about what the Black Bear Spirit had done to Li Zhen before, and let out a long sigh.

Lin Chen added, "It could also be a personal grudge, someone simply disliking our guild, but if it's the former..."

Huang Xiaotian started to feel uncomfortable.

He knew what Lin Chen was going to say next. "No way," Huang Xiaotian said urgently, "How could the human race possibly agree to such conditions?"

Two days later, the beast tide storm officially spread throughout the country, and almost every place knew about it.

According to incomplete statistics, nearly 60 small cities across the country are currently under the control of monsters.

Although the Beastmaster Guild quickly mobilized beastmasters from major cities to surround them.

However, the monsters took the city's residents hostage, and the reinforcements were hesitant to launch an attack, fearing they might harm the hostages.

Just as Lin Chen had guessed, the powerful demon behind the scenes finally spoke up, telling the higher-ups of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom that they were open to negotiations.

An hour later, the human high command responded, agreeing to negotiations.

Finally, the two parties agreed on Tianjie Mountain as the location.

This mountain is located in the center of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom, and it stretches out from east to west like a dragon vein.

The first ceasefire agreement in the past war between humans and transgender people was signed here.

On the first day of negotiations, news quickly spread that the demon race had agreed to release all the hostages and was willing to continue to abide by the peace agreement, but had put forward new demands.

First, humanity must cede more land to the demon race.

Secondly, the demon race can divide up certain areas and establish restricted zones, which humans cannot approach.

Third, the human race needs to release the great demons that were suppressed at the end of the primordial era.

Fourth, the human race must disband the Monster Hunter Guild.

The news shocked the entire nation.

"This kind of treaty cannot be signed."

"The land that we humans occupy now was all won back by our ancestors through hard work, and we absolutely cannot cede even a single bit of it."

"No."

"The third point is also outrageous. Those great demons have been suppressed since the end of the Primordial Era. Their strength is terrifying. If they are released, there will be endless troubles."

"I think the fourth point is the most outrageous. When monster tides come, the Monster Hunter Guild plays the biggest role. Many times, they are the ones who bear the brunt of the war for us. If they disband, what will happen to them?"

"It's not just these things. The Monster Hunter Guild is the only way for ordinary people like us to have the same resources as the major powers. If it really disbands, the advancement space for ordinary people will be almost completely locked down."

As soon as the news broke, discussions across the country never ceased, with voices of opposition pouring in.

Everyone has different opinions because these treaties concern their own interests.

Lin Chen also heard about these things. He guessed some of them, but some were beyond his expectations.

After hearing about this, Li Zhen and Huang Xiaotian also went to find Lin Chen, because Li Zhen had heard Lin Chen's analysis from Huang Xiaotian.

Lin Chen had previously guessed that the monsters were likely targeting the Monster Hunter Guild.

The three sat on the floor, watching Xiaobai train in the yard. Lin Chen spoke up:
“The human race’s higher-ups will never agree to these four conditions,” Lin Chen said.

Li Zhen was overjoyed upon hearing this, but Lin Chen poured cold water on their hopes, saying, "But the Monster Hunter Guild might not be able to survive."

"Why?" Li Zhen asked, puzzled. "The existence of the guild is beneficial to the country and its people. It greatly helps us in resisting the beast tide and supplying spirit beasts."

“But you are not a help to the powerful forces and their leaders,” Lin Chen replied.

Li Zhen and Huang Xiaotian remained silent after listening.

Monster Hunter Guild is geared towards ordinary people; major powers really don't need them.

This is the real reason why the Monster Hunter Guild has never been an official organization.

“If the land is ceded, we will be branded as unfilial descendants, and releasing the great demon is even more impossible, which will further strengthen the demon race.” Lin Chen continued to analyze: “Then the only things we can negotiate on are the second and fourth points.”
