"Your first question and the second one are actually the same," Qin Nan said indistinctly as she picked up an orange Lin Su had peeled for her and tossed it into her mouth.
After the Alien Beast Ban was implemented, some people were not content with forming contracts with only low-class species. They believed that since a low-class species could evolve into a high-class one, those that were inherently high-class would have a higher starting point and could fully evolve into Emperor-class species or even surpass them."
A hint of mockery appeared in her eyes, "So, these so-called clever fools defected to the alien beasts just to get the immortal-grade alien beasts to lift their restrictions from the Alien Beast Ban."
"Defected to the alien beasts?" Lin Su frowned slightly. "Aren't they traitors to the human race?"
"Yeah, they are traitors," Qin Nan's eyes filled with intense disgust and hatred. "These traitors have organized a faction called the 'Alien Beast Sect', which is anti-humanity. They've stooped so low as to become the alien beasts' lackeys and for the sake of contracting with more powerful alien beasts, they would even intentionally kill their own guardian beasts."
"This..." Lin Su couldn't help but clench his fists.
He had initially felt that Qin Nan's act of killing all the opponent's guardian beasts was somewhat cruel, after all, the beasts were only following orders. But now it seemed that wasn't the case at all.
Thinking back, he realized that all of the guardian beasts contracted by those people were under the restrictions of the Alien Beast Ban, without exception.
"As for why they ran when they saw me," Qin Nan paused slightly, "the Guardian Beast Co-operation has a way to check whether a Beast Tamer is actually a member of the Alien Beast Sect. So followers of the Alien Beast Sect can't obtain the resonance jade and are unable to engage in Guardian Beast Co-operative battles."
"I was previously at the master level and only reached the hall level not long ago, and I haven't updated my information at the Guardian Beast Co-operation because I found it too troublesome, so they thought I was still at the master level. Among the five of them, two were hall-level Beast Tamers, and the other three were at the master level. If I were still at the master level, indeed, they might have been confident in dealing with me..."
A smile crept into Qin Nan's eyes, "But I'm now at the hall level, and with the Guardian Beast Co-operation enhancement, they didn't stand a chance against me. So when they saw the color of my summoning circle, they had no choice but to run."
So that was it.
Lin Su finally understood why the attackers had such an abrupt change of heart — it turned out that after encountering him, they realized they couldn't win...
Not only could they not win, they couldn't escape either...
They were purely delivering themselves to their doom.
Immediately after, Lin Su furrowed his brows, "The Alien Beast Sect seeks greater power, but Guardian Beast Co-operative combat allows a Beast Tamer to instantly kill a peer who does not have cooperative combat abilities. So why do people still join the Alien Beast Sect?"
"Good question," Qin Nan nodded. "The Alien Beast Sect was established earlier than the advent of the Guardian Beast Co-operative combat. Back then, they indeed had an advantage and even used it to grow stronger. But now, with the emergence of Guardian Beast Co-operative combat, they are attracting less and less new blood. Certainly, many of them regret it, but they can't go back..."
Her eyes held a complex expression, "This also makes them even more desperate."
"The Alien Beast Sect is now doing everything they can to obtain the detailed research materials on Guardian Beast Co-operative combat because as long as they reacquire these materials, they can use Guardian Beast Co-operative combat too, thus regaining their advantage. For this purpose, there's nothing they wouldn't dare to do."
Lin Su fell silent.
Guardian Beast Co-operative combat, the Alien Beast Sect.
All that Qin Nan had mentioned was enough for him to digest for a while.
"Alright, kiddo, your question time is over," Qin Nan said returning to her carefree demeanor as she looked at the silent boy before her.
As her words landed, the transport aircraft trembled slightly and began to slowly descend.
Unknowingly, the transport had already arrived at their destination.
Qin Nan smiled, looking out at the bustling safe area through the window before turning to Lin Su.
"Welcome to District 11."
