Chapter 403 The Fire Lord's Helpless Actions
What a strange pair of people!

"The Fire Lord himself must be quite eccentric, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to take on such bizarre disciples, let alone two of them."

Southern Memorial: ...

Let her criticize all she wants. Hopefully, when she learns the truth, she won't regret it and will want to go back to today and shut her habitually sharp-tongued mouth.

Nan Ran actually wanted to say that if Huo Zun could teach such a morally corrupt disciple, then he might not be a good person either.

Perhaps she did indeed make contributions to maintaining this continent, or even save it.

However, if her two apprentices conducted such experiments while she was alive, and she failed to notice and stop them in time, then she wouldn't be entirely innocent.

At the very least, it's a crime of oversight.
If someone has been aware of such behavior but has allowed it to continue without taking action, then they are no different from an accomplice.

Anyway—

Nan Ran's initial impression of this Fire Lord was not very good.

However, considering Nan Shu's strong reaction just now, she, as someone from outside the Beast Continent, really couldn't criticize too much.

We must not hurt the feelings of the local indigenous people.

"But if you become a monster that is neither human nor ghost, neither beast nor demon, even if you have so-called talent and become a so-called strong person, what is the point?"

Nan Ran actually didn't quite understand.

"Who knows!"

Nan Shu also couldn't understand it.

If we could understand each other, we wouldn't have parted ways today.

Different road non-phase plan.

But their biggest mistake was using these things to wreak havoc on the world.

Nan Ran raised an eyebrow: "You wouldn't have known all along that they were doing these things in private, would you?" That's why you know so much about it.

Nan Shu put on a sullen face.

"...I never imagined they would be so ruthless."

"Moreover, the Fire Lord did not initially conduct these experiments to make them blinded by profit and cause harm to the world."

Nan Ran was even more surprised.

"Was this experiment conducted by the Fire Lord?"

Doesn't that make her an even worse person?
Southern Memorial: ...

"Yes!"

"But she did all this to help those soldiers who were seriously wounded in the war! She also used the corpses of demonic beasts that had already died in battle to help those humans who only had half a body left, or even just a head, to survive, continue to fight, and continue to protect their common home!"

Nan Shu said emotionally, "In this era of great upheaval, no one can escape it."

"If you don't grow stronger today, you will become food for monsters tomorrow."

"The more people who survive, the more fighting power we have, and the greater the chance of successfully resisting the invasion of monsters into human habitats."

"Don't say it like that, don't say it's a monster that's neither human nor ghost nor beast, as long as it survives, even if its body is shattered, as long as there's even the slightest chance of killing a beast and increasing the chances of victory for humanity, they, we, everyone are willing."

Nan Shu seemed to see right through Nan Ran's thoughts: "We never said whether this approach was right or wrong. Everything we did back then was to resist the demonic beasts."

"We can't just start criticizing the methods we used to fight the monsters as wrong now that they've been defeated, can we?"

"Moreover, this method is only permitted during wartime, or even only during periods of great upheaval."

"When the era of great upheaval ended and humanity had a little breathing space to survive, the Supreme Alliance of the Beast Continent immediately listed this method as a forbidden technique, and no one was allowed to use it privately."

"The ones who are wrong are those evil cultivators who used forbidden techniques to commit evil deeds and disregard human life!"

"Not the spell itself!"

Nan Ran: ...That seems to make some sense?

She nodded.

“But I didn’t say Fire Lord was bad,” she whispered, trying to justify herself. The big white dog scoffed, “But your expression tells me you think she’s a bad person!”

Nan Ran: ...

Okay, she admitted that she had made some offensive criticisms earlier, and she regretted it.

"So what should we do now? Just stay here and watch her evolve and merge?"

"of course not!"

The big white dog said seriously, "What we need to do now is wait."

"wait?"

"That's right. We can only wait."

Nan Shu explained, "Now is the critical period for its advancement. The monster, which has fused with the strongest talents of various demonic beasts, now also possesses extremely high defense."

“It won’t be easy for us to defeat it at this time.”

"On the contrary, it will expose you and arouse the other party's vigilance."

"If we move it away then, it will be difficult for us to find out its whereabouts in the short term."

"That would mean missing the chance to kill them."

"At that time, their conspiracy will have been half successful."

"It would be even more difficult to stop it now."

"It would be better to wait until it completes its fusion, when its defenses are at their weakest, and the person behind it is too excited and complacent to pay attention, then strike and kill it in one blow!"

Nan Shu looked around: "And the vines and insects around here also need to be cleared away."

"If we send human cultivators to clean it up, who knows how long it will take?"

"It is even more likely that this will result in casualties."

"Why not use it to absorb a large number of vine insects as its own nutrients and have it do the cleanup work for us?"

Nan Ran nodded, indicating that she understood.

But there's still one question: "...Once he successfully evolves, will you still be able to beat him?"

All of this he's envisioning now is only possible if he can successfully kill his opponent.

If the kill fails, then it's all just nonsense, isn't it?

At that time, not only will the two of them become this monster's food, but those disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, including Hao Da Tu and Senior Sister Meng, will also perish in this monster's jaws.

Nan Ran seemed a little worried: "How confident are you that you can kill him directly?"

Southern Memorial: ...

"I suspect you are questioning my strength as the sect leader of the Beast Taming Sect."

And there is evidence!
"No, no, that's not true! How could the Sect Master think such a thing? My admiration for the Sect Master is as clear as the sun and moon."

"I was just being cautious!"

Nan Ran chuckled twice, which made Nan Shu lose his temper.

The big white dog snorted and ignored her.

He was clearly still very dissatisfied with what she had just said.

What he couldn't say was...

Whether he can defeat the Vine Insect King after it has completed its advancement is not important.

The important thing is that she's here, and that's enough.

If we can't beat her, we can just throw her over there!
No monster could withstand the karmic fire that she possessed!
So there's absolutely nothing to worry about.

Nan Ran was unaware that Nan Shu had already planned his escape route.

And this escape route is precisely her damage reduction buff and what she previously thought was a bug!
