The adult of the beastmen was very confused. He didn't understand why Xia Feng was cooperating so readily.
Fortunately, he was bold and daring due to his superior skill. Seeing that Xia Feng and the others had ordinary strength, he paid them no mind.
He certainly couldn't perceive Xia Feng's true strength. As for Liu Chan, who was at the same cultivation level, Xia Feng had also masked her aura, so the beastman adult naturally remained unaware.
Xia Feng and his companions were escorted back to the royal palace by the beastmen. Everyone cheered at the sight of humans being captured, believing that their blood could be used for the ritual.
"Sir, why didn't these humans resist?" one of the beastmen asked curiously, noticing that Xia Feng and the others' clothes were clean and tidy, with no signs of a struggle.
"What a question! When Lord Gulu personally took action, how could these insignificant humans dare to resist?" another one flattered.
Lord Gulu waved his hand upon hearing this, signaling them to stop the flattery. "Don't flatter me. These humans indeed didn't resist, but it wasn't because my strength was too overwhelming. That's why I suspect something is amiss."
Upon hearing Lord Gulu's words, everyone looked curious. The one who had spoken earlier asked, "Lord Gulu, why do you say that? I see these humans as ordinary and possessing no special qualities."
Lord Gulu understood what this person was saying.
He simply found it too easy.
The easier something was, the more it aroused suspicion.
"When I went to capture them, they showed no fear or resistance. That's what makes me curious. Logically speaking, shouldn't humans be terrified when they see us capturing them for the ritual? Instead, not only were they not afraid, but they also appeared very calm and willing to cooperate with us. Isn't that strange?"
Lord Gulu voiced his inner doubts, which were indeed perplexing to him.
Where could such people exist?
Were they so incredibly bold?
After Lord Gulu's explanation, everyone became increasingly curious.
This was indeed too strange.
However, the minds of these beastmen were limited; they couldn't fathom any reasons.
They would only find it strange but wouldn't ponder the issue.
"Lord Gulu, after your analysis, it is indeed quite strange. Shall we subject them to severe torture? It doesn't matter if they die; they can still be used for the ritual," one of them suggested.
Lord Gulu was tempted by the suggestion.
After all, the revival of the Beast King was a matter of great importance, and he could not afford any mistakes.
At this moment, when someone proposed severe interrogation, he also found it feasible.
Even if he was mistaken about them, it wouldn't matter. They were going to die in a couple of days anyway.
They weren't captured for Xia Feng and the others to enjoy themselves. What was wrong with subjecting them to torture?
"I think it's a good idea," Lord Gulu nodded.
After speaking, Lord Gulu ordered the beastmen to bring Xia Feng and the others over.
Once Xia Feng and his group were brought forward, Lord Gulu looked at Xia Feng and said, "Human小子, I still suspect you have some ulterior motive. If you confess truthfully now, you can avoid physical suffering. If you refuse to confess, then I can only let you experience what severe torture is like."
Xia Feng smiled and replied, "I will cooperate with whatever you say. Whatever else you want to ask, just ask."
"Confess honestly, what is your motive for infiltrating our beastmen tribe?" Lord Gulu pressed with a demanding expression.
Xia Feng shook his head after hearing this. "As I said before, we are from out of town. It's not my fault if you don't believe me."
"I don't believe you. Do you think we are fools?" Lord Gulu's face was filled with disbelief.
Seeing Lord Gulu's profound disbelief, Xia Feng chuckled and said,
"You want to revive the Beast King, don't you? Why act so mysterious about it."
As soon as Xia Feng spoke, all the beastmen's faces changed dramatically.
