My Summons Are All Gods - Chapter 443

Chapter 443: The Last Words of the Tribe

“I told His Majesty about this before. I was bored that day, so His Majesty came to talk to me.”

Simmons took a deep breath and began to talk about what had happened a long time ago.

“At that time, His Majesty asked me if the monsters had completely gone mad, or if they were still rational.”

“With my many years of hunting experience, I soon replied to His Majesty. I told His Majesty that many monsters had intelligence, and different individuals of the same race even had different personalities.”

“However, although monsters have their own personalities, they will still act according to certain principles.”

“For example, jackals. They are thin and weak, and without sharp claws, they are destined to not be able to win in a frontal battle.”

“So they had to chose to ambush and pick up scraps.”

“At that time, His Majesty frowned after hearing it. I knew I had to give a reasonable explanation.”

“I said seriously at that time, perhaps those jackals who chose to fight head-on had died, and those who remained and reproduced were all sinister jackals. That was why the jackals were so clever.”

“His Majesty quickly understood what I meant, and used a few very delicate words to make a conclusion. I was very impressed.”

“What his Majesty said at that time was natural selection.”

Apollo was stunned when he heard such words. As someone from the ancient times, he could not understand what natural selection was.

Simmons explained, “Monsters with sharp claws have a higher chance of surviving, so the chances of leaving offspring are high. The chances of their offspring having sharp claws are also high. Over time, this race will all have sharp claws. This is probably what it means.”

“In short, monsters adapt to the environment.” Simmons added, “But we humans are different. We change the environment.”

“This leads to an environment that was originally in a dynamic balance, but we broke it in a short period of time.”

“Let me put it this way.”

Simmons still had no intention of going down. Instead, he stood on the tower and suddenly told Apollo about a matter from the past.

“In my tribe, there was once a strong and gentle female warrior. She was also the first person in our tribe to start raising monsters.”

When Apollo heard this, he was already shocked. Raising monsters?

Apollo looked at the terrifying and disgusting monsters below. They were like animals on Earth, but most of them were covered in mud and looked very dirty. It was hard to imagine how bold she was, only then did she dare to raise these things as pets.

Simmons continued, “The monster she raised was a newborn lamb. At first, she just wanted to test whether the monster could live in harmony with us if she brought it with her since it was young

“After the lamb was washed, the disgusting mud on its body was gone, and it wouldn’t grow mud on its own

“Of course, she also tied the mouth of the lamb up and only removed it when she was feeding it.”

“The lamb grew up very quickly and began to show its aggression and hostility towards us day by day.”

“Under pressure, she should have killed the monster with her own hands, but she still couldn’t bear to do it.”

“So, she pulled out the horns of the lamb and broke all the teeth of the lamb. In short, she eliminated all the parts that could infect people with poison.”

“After that, she was occupied. She had to take the hunters of the tribe to eliminate the threat of the monsters, and at the same time, she had to take care of the lamb. After all, no one in the tribe was willing to help her do such a thing.”

“Subsequently, the lamb died. The lion-type monster did it.”

“She left the tribe in a fit of anger and almost wiped out the lion-type monster here.”

“At first, we didn’t pay much attention to it. After all, lions are indeed a very dangerous monster. It’s a good thing for us that they were wiped out. At that time, our focus was on her bravery, so we completely ignored the impact of this incident.”

“Then, something terrible happened. The lions were on the verge of extinction, and the number of lambs increased rapidly. They had to eat a large number of plants every day, causing the earth to become bald.”

“After the plants were eaten, the herbivores that lived on them died in large numbers. The first batch of sheep-type monsters starved to death, and then the infectious disease took down countless more.”

“Although we didn’t need to harvest those plants, the infectious disease still brought a great blow to our tribe. The heroine also committed suicide to atone for her sins, although we didn’t blame her.”

“So our tribe had an unwritten rule that as long as it was a life, even if it was a monster that killed countless people, it couldn’t be exterminated.”

After Simmons said these words, he was silent for a long time.

For Apollo, who lived in different era, it took him some time to understand the logic of this. He then asked, “Then what are you trying to say by telling me all this?”

Simmons turned to him side way and muttered something, then he said, “Although we have a rule that we can’t exterminate, we have a rule that contradicts it. Two rules exist at the same time. Until now, I still don’t understand why.”

“The rule is that if you see a jackal, you must follow it secretly, find out the location of its companions, and then kill all the jackals.”

Apollo came back to his senses. On one hand, he was lenient and could not kill all the monsters. On the other hand, he could not let the jackals go if they saw them. He even had to chase them to their home.

The two rules existed at the same time, but they were full of contradictions.

“So, I’m thinking now.” Simmons pointed at the jackal in the distance and said, “Could they have some strange power, so our ancestors said that they must be killed.”

Apollo also knew that Simmons’s tribe was not a continuous legacy. According to Simmons, their tribe had experienced two near-extinction catastrophes. And whenever they talked about this, Simmons would fall into a long silence, and he rarely talked about the specific details.

“My tribe was wiped out twice, and no one remembers the reason, but there was a message carved on a stone that told us to kill all the jackals.”

“But the specific reason, what had happened at that time, everyone who knew about it had already died. When the last few people of the tribe came back, other than the devastation, there was only this line of unknown last words.”

This time, Simmons finally revealed some details.

“Let’s go down.”

After a long silence, Apollo said.
