Chapter 3214: Chapter 1087

The beasts were merely acting on instinct, regardless of any reason behind their series of actions at the time. Anyway, when they targeted Zhou Tian and launched an attack directly at him, it was destined that the fate of those beasts would not change.

In any case, Zhou Tian had no reason to spare those beasts. After all, at that time, the beasts directly regarded him as prey, and their strength was extremely weak. In such a situation, when the beasts took action, Zhou Tian didn’t even need to make a move; his team of Heavenly Eye Users had already annihilated the attacking beasts.

Following this, the beast attacks didn’t stop as they passed through the area. However, thanks to Zhou Tian and the Heavenly Eye Users’ protection, there were not many casualties among the demi-humans in the team. The beast attacks mostly ended up being an extra meal for Zhou Tian and the Heavenly Eye Users.

But...

With the increasing attacks from those beasts at the time, the footprints of the Heavenly Eye Beasts soon became visible in Zhou Tian and his team’s line of sight along their route.

Compared to humans, the proportion of Heavenly Eye Beasts among beasts was far greater than that of Heavenly Eye Users. Despite the living environment of humans, even though they have corresponding wisdom and demi-humans gain insight through experience, due to the lack of a sense of crisis and the monopolistic nature of insight knowledge, the actual number of Heavenly Eye Users remained small compared to the number of demi-humans.

Were it not for the fact that Heavenly Eye Users knew how to use their brains, and the reason why the Heavenly Eye Beasts rarely gained an advantage when they dispersed to attack, it is estimated that due to the number of Heavenly Eye Beasts, the Human Race would have been exterminated by them eight hundred years ago.

Due to the extremely bad environment, even Heavenly Eye Beasts couldn’t guarantee their own safety. During the mutual hunting among beasts at the time, many beasts inevitably gained insight in the danger.

As a result, precisely because there were far more Heavenly Eye Beasts than Heavenly Eye Users, despite Heavenly Eye Users having various advantages over the beasts, the reality was that apart from clinging to a small piece of territory, most of the area at the time was actually under the control of Heavenly Eye Beasts.

Even if Heavenly Eye Users managed to win a safe living area by gathering their strength, in reality, if the Heavenly Eye Beasts truly launched an attack on those areas for various reasons, then usually those areas that seemed quite safe often would inevitably be attacked and broken by the beasts.

Currently, even though Zhou Tian’s strength is extremely strong, and no matter how powerful the Heavenly Eye Beasts are that come to trouble him, if they truly clash, relying on Zhou Tian’s strength, he has one hundred percent confidence that if faced with those Heavenly Eye Beasts, he will definitely win.

However, though Zhou Tian was fearless of fighting those Heavenly Eye Beasts at the time, since he is just one person, if a large number of Heavenly Eye Beasts were to attack them, then Zhou Tian’s personal safety might be guaranteed, but how many members of the team he was protecting at the time would survive remains uncertain.

Of course, if such a thing were to happen, the outcome wouldn’t be something Zhou Tian would be happy to see. But given the situation, it wasn’t easy for that kind of crisis to occur at the time.

Because the Heavenly Eye Beasts were not united!

Generally speaking, although Heavenly Eye Beasts are strong and numerous, usually when they encounter one another, the fact that they don’t fight is already considered lucky. It’s unrealistic to expect them to freely form an alliance against the Heavenly Eye Users.

Unless a Beast King appears, it is only with the emergence of a Beast King or a Heavenly Disaster that the Heavenly Eye Beasts might unite to attack the Heavenly Eye Users.

Whenever one of these situations arises, it spells disaster for the Human Race, and in such cases, any Heavenly Eye User gathering place is seldom not attacked and broken.

Heavenly Disasters are not worth mentioning; in the face of a Heavenly Disaster, when a large number of Heavenly Eye Beasts truly flee towards the dwelling places of Heavenly Eye Users, with millions of Heavenly Eye Beasts rushing simultaneously, not only would Zhou Tian’s contacted Heavenly Eye User gathering points be defenseless, but even the countries imagined to be formed by Heavenly Eye Users would likely be unable to resist such an onslaught.

Thus, whenever a large number of Heavenly Eye Beasts flee due to a Heavenly Disaster, there is seldom a place within their fleeing route housing Heavenly Eye Users that is not attacked.

However, the appearance of a Beast King, while its threat to a single Heavenly Eye User gathering point might not equal that of a Heavenly Disaster, its true crisis lies in its potential to lead to the extermination of the Human Race.

Beast Kings rarely appear, but even if they appear only once in hundreds of thousands of years, Zhou Tian inadvertently heard about them several times shortly after encountering the Heavenly Eye Users.

It’s not that the Heavenly Eye Users really have a habit of talking about Beast Kings; it’s just that the harm posed by Beast Kings to the Human Race is so great, resulting in everything from Heavenly Eye Users to demi-humans speaking about this near-disaster-like existence whenever possible, often to show off.
