Chapter 136: The Most Dangerous Thing is People

"Hey, you two, don't go any further ahead. The Magical Beast Forest is very chaotic right now, and many Martial Artists have come here. If you want to play, go somewhere safer."

The leading Martial Artist said kindly.

"Thanks, brother. We are also Martial Artists, so we aren't worried about danger. However, we don't know the location of the mine, so could you please trouble yourself to tell us?"

Qin Ming cupped his hands and asked.

"Are you also here for that mine?" After glancing at Qin Ming and Qin Qing, the Martial Artist continued:

"Right now, that mine is being guarded by a group of Men in Black, so it's no use for you to go there."

"Boss, why are you telling them so much? Let them go and suffer a bit, and they'll know soon enough."

A Martial Artist dressed as an archer behind the leader said.

Hearing this, the leading Martial Artist said no more. After pointing out the direction, he left toward the distance.

"Why did that person say that because there are many Martial Artists, the Magical Beast Forest is very chaotic?"

Qin Qing asked curiously:

"The more Human Martial Artists there are, shouldn't the Demonic Beasts be less likely to come out? Why would it be more dangerous?"

Patting Qin Qing's head, Qin Ming looked toward the depths of the forest with deep eyes and said in a low voice:

"Demonic Beasts aren't scary; the scariest thing is people.

Martial Artists spend their whole lives working hard to learn advanced martial arts and training to high Realms, not to fight against Demonic Beasts, but to fight against people.

Some people do it for profit, some for greed, and others for survival."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's keep moving forward."

Qin Ming added: "Qin Qing, you must know that in this world, the most dangerous thing has never been Demonic Beasts, but people."

Qin Qing nodded as if she understood, following behind her brother.

A moment later, Qin Ming and Qin Qing arrived at a small hill, watching a large group of Martial Artists in the distance surrounding a group of Men in Black.

The look of contempt on the faces of the Men in Black was evident.

"Brother, what are they doing?"

Qin Qing asked curiously.

Qin Ming smiled and said:

"They are robbing things, robbing the Ore behind the Men in Black."

"What is that Ore used for?"

Qin Qing asked curiously.

Qin Ming looked at the two sides confronting each other and said:

"Ore is good stuff; it can be sold for piles and piles of Spirit Stones."

Upon hearing the words "Spirit Stone," Qin Qing couldn't help but nod and said:

"Then this Ore is indeed good stuff."

"That's why they want to rob it." Qin Ming looked into the distance and said: "Let's go, let's wander around nearby first to see if there is anything fun."

"Okay! It's too boring here, and it's desolate; it's really uninteresting."

Qin Qing had long wanted to go play elsewhere. If it weren't for her brother insisting on coming here, she wouldn't have walked in this direction.

"Do you know about that swamp in the Magical Beast Forest?"

With a mysterious smile, Qin Ming said.

"A swamp?" Qin Qing thought carefully and said:

"I heard Mother mention it before. There is a large swamp inside the Magical Beast Forest, and there are many Poisonous Insects in the swamp. It's very dangerous."

"Then let's go play there!"

Qin Ming said with a smile.

Generally, in places with many Poisonous Insects, the flowers and plants are also very lush. This season is exactly when they are in bloom.

"Will it be dangerous?"

Qin Qing asked with concern.

"If I'm not mistaken, there are many beautiful flowers there. Don't you want to go see them?"

Looking at his younger sister's worried expression and her cute appearance, Qin Ming said with a smile.

"I do! But…" Qin Qing was somewhat tempted.

"Alright, if you want to, we'll go. As for danger, just follow your brother. With your brother here, how could I possibly let you encounter any danger."

Qin Ming took Qin Qing's hand and walked toward the swamp.
