Chapter 961: Chapter 959: Law of the Jungle
Stepping through the sturdy steel door, a nearly flat small hill appeared before them. No one knew what kind of chemical Cloud Fort had dispersed here, but the hill was utterly barren, with no signs of life.
Wufu and Ah Jiu exchanged glances; whatever else might be said, just this barren-inducing chemical alone suggested Cloud Fort was not simple, right?
If such chemicals were spread over other lands, wouldn’t it...?
The barren hill was just a stretch; beyond it, there were vast expanses of mountain peaks covered in towering trees. Wufu looked up, appearing temporarily unperturbed; it seemed just like an ordinary mountain forest.
"Is this really the Cloud Realm of Cloud Fort?" nearby, a woman dressed in a tight outfit, majestic and spirited, dismissed the landscape before her with disdain: "Nothing much."
"Senior Sister, this should only be the outskirts of the Cloud Realm. You need to go inside to reach the inner realm," said a handsome young man next to the woman.
"I think Alliance Leader Yun is just exaggerating." The woman still wore an expression of disbelief, and the people around her echoed her sentiments.
That group spoke as they eagerly moved inward, their steps impatient.
Wufu sneered.
Some people, self-importance can be deadly.
"Young Master, should we?" Chi Yi and his group were also eager, their main target being the Cloud Tower. As for Yun Feiyang, he was a secondary target to be captured if possible, but ignored if not.
"What’s the rush?" Wufu cast a sidelong glance at a few, speaking lightly: "Or do you think this mountain forest is as deceivingly gentle as that girl claimed? If that’s the case, I won’t stop you from going to your deaths."
Chi Yi choked, swallowing his words: "I dare not."
Wufu snorted and asked: "Do you know what jungle law is?"
Chi Yi and the others paused, exchanged glances, and said: "Please enlighten us, Young Master."
"Jungle law, also known as survival principles, is the natural law of biological competition, survival of the fittest, and the law of the strong and weak in nature. It encompasses two fundamental attributes: the first is its natural attribute. What’s natural? Just this." Wufu pointed to the forest of towering trees, saying: "Resources in nature are limited, and only the strong can obtain the most. This is manifested in the plant world. Understand the rules, and you naturally gain what is offered to you. The other is the social attribute, usually evident in the animal kingdom. Not just animals, but humans included."
"As humans, advanced animals, as long as you are cautious and strong enough, you can change the natural attributes of jungle law because humans are alive. So, this is also a survival principle we humans must follow. From competition between national regimes to factions and interpersonal competition, this law must be observed. As for the competition’s outcome, it depends on each one’s strength, wisdom, methods, and the ability to adapt or transform the world."
As these words fell, not only Chi Yi and his group were contemplating, but even Ah Jiu was pondering the logic of this jungle law.
The jungle and the daily world are actually the same; in the jungle, you must compete and strategize against nature and animals. Similarly, in daily life, you compete against people and factions, and whoever wins relies on strength and skill.
Master Gui and his group weren’t too far away; Wufu didn’t avoid them while speaking, so they heard it too, looking at the young boy with great surprise.
