“Instructor?”

Seeing Li Yingning, Li Chenzhou was pleasantly surprised!

He had been looking forward to seeing the instructor, and now, the instructor was indeed here!

"Level three! Not bad, it seems…you've discovered this secret! You didn't rush to improve yourself!"

Li Yingning looked at Li Chenzhou and nodded with a smile.

"Instructor, do you also know that the level of Devourers can only be the same as ours?"

Li Chenzhou was stunned.

"Yes!"

Li Yingning nodded.

"Then... why didn't you tell me before?"

Li Chenzhou said, somewhat depressed.

"Kid! You must remember that it is you who are fighting the Devourers now, not me. I can't be by your side all the time.

Although I know some things, no one knows if these things will change. If I tell you everything and you find that things are different from what I said, it might be even worse.

Therefore, you need to observe, discover, and deal with everything you face yourself. Only in this process can you grow!"

"Then... Instructor, didn't you say... the Devourers would only descend after five years? Why have I already encountered Devourers now?"

Li Chenzhou's mouth twitched as he listened, but he couldn't refute it, so he asked another question.

"What I said about them coming refers to the Devourers on their home planet. What you encountered are just their managers stationed here! They are not the Devourer army!"

Li Yingning said:

"If you can't even deal with them, what's the point of talking about five years? I think you can treat these Devourers as a whetstone to practice with!"

"Instructor! That..."

Li Chenzhou still wanted to ask something. In fact, he had too many questions he wanted answers to, but unexpectedly, Li Yingning raised his hand to interrupt him:

"I said, what you need to face requires you to observe, discover, and respond yourself! And now, you need to solve a problem first."

"A problem?"

Li Chenzhou was stunned.

"That's right! This problem!"

Li Yingning pointed to the distorted space and then circled his hand around:

"This space, and this space channel, were not prepared for you by me. What I prepared for you were other things, but now those preparations have been destroyed, leaving only this!"

"This is a space channel?"

Li Chenzhou asked.

"That's right, it's a space channel!"

Li Yingning nodded.

"Two-way or one-way? After I go in, can I come back?"

Li Chenzhou asked again. For him, the most important thing now was not where this space channel led, but... whether he could come back after going there!

Obviously, since Li Yingning mentioned this space channel, he probably wanted Li Chenzhou to go in. If he couldn't come back after going there, that would be a pain, because Gray Bear and the others were still here!

If Li Chenzhou disappeared and they couldn't find him, they might simply stay on this island, as they had suggested before. Gray Bear alone probably wouldn't be able to suppress Mike and the others!

"Of course, you can come back! This is a very stable space channel!"

Li Yingning said:

"The people who built it were the Devourers!"

As he said this, Li Yingning raised his head. Although he was underground, his gaze seemed to penetrate the thick layers of soil and look towards the endless universe:

"In the beginning, the Devourers also constantly plundered all living planets because they fed on life!

At that time, they traveled in the vast universe on spaceships. Once they discovered a living planet, they would rush towards it like sharks smelling blood.

Usually, the living planets they discovered ultimately had only one fate: to be completely destroyed!!!

Because the universe is too vast, they don't know when they will be able to return, so they simply go all out to enrich their food reserves!

As time went on, the Devourer race continued to develop. They finally comprehended the rules of space and were able to build space channels!

So, they changed their hunting methods. Although they still traveled in spaceships, they began to no longer completely destroy a planet. Whenever they found a living planet, they would plunder it extensively, and then leave a space channel on that planet.

They would try to leave some life so that they could continue to develop. That way, after a while, they could come again and harvest again! Just like our human ranches!

Moreover, they left space channels on all the planets they had hunted. As long as they arrived at a ranch, they could use that ranch to quickly reach other ranches, making harvesting much easier for them.

Therefore, this space channel must also lead to a intelligent planet. If you go there, you should be able to see other intelligent creatures. If you're lucky, you might even encounter Devourers."

"I don't think that's good luck!"

Li Chenzhou muttered, then asked:

"In other words! After I go in, I might directly reach the Devourers' lair?"

"That's impossible!"

Li Yingning shook his head:

"The Devourers did not build space channels on their own planet. They will not expose their lair! Because they are the public enemy of the universe, and they are also afraid that one day, their prey will unite and attack their lair!"

"In other words, they still have to use spaceships until they reach a living planet that they consider a ranch, and then they can use the space channel to quickly reach other planets?"

Li Chenzhou asked.

"Yes! That's right!"

Li Yingning nodded.

"Then... if they use the space channel, wouldn't the Devourers be able to reach us instantly? Why are you sure they won't come early? Anyway, we are just their ranch here, they don't need to leave us time to develop, right?"

Li Chenzhou asked again.

"Do you know about the fishing ban?"

Li Yingning looked at Li Chenzhou, seeming to be thinking about how to answer, and finally asked this question.

"Fishing ban? I know!"

Li Chenzhou was stunned.

"We eat fish, so there are fishermen who fish, but the governments of various countries will issue different fishing bans to prevent certain fish from being overfished and becoming extinct!"

Li Yingning replied:

"This seems to be protecting the fish, but in fact, humans don't care about the lives of the fish. They are just worried that if they catch all the fish, they will have nothing to eat!

And our planet is currently in a fishing ban! Because... the more powerful the life, the more delicious it is to the Devourers. And your current strength, in our human terms, is that this fish is too small. Let it grow longer. It's the same principle as anglers throwing small fish back into the river!"

"..."

Hearing Li Yingning's words, Li Chenzhou felt a mixture of emotions in his heart. Although the Devourers gave him five years, which was definitely a good thing for him, this explanation made him feel a strange sadness...
