Childhood Anime Grand Tour

You're saying this doesn't make sense! Liu Yufei was so close to the Qilin God just now, why didn't he make a move?

The reasons for not taking action were simple: firstly, Liu Yufei had indeed been quite frightened, and secondly, the Qilin God had not shown any malice towards him.

If there was malice involved, even if he was terrified just now, it would trigger Liu Yufei's instinctive ferocity.

It's true that Liu Yufei killed many people along the way, but he never indiscriminately killed innocent people; he only killed those who had harbored ill intentions towards him.

Regardless, Liu Yufei was not a man of chaotic times; at his core, he was kind, or rather, hypocritical. Even when it came to killing the reindeer he had ridden out of the village, Liu Yufei would find an excuse.

Now, if he were to face the Qilin God, he would be unable to do it, not because he believed in gods or Buddhas, but because he couldn't convince himself.

If this were a world of high martial arts, Liu Yufei would stop at nothing to survive, but this isn't the case! Even without the power of the Qilin God, Liu Yufei can still live a good life.

But Liu Yufei was unwilling to let him go so easily, so he tried to mess with Ashitaka, but clearly, Ashitaka was a higher level player than him.

Who is he? He's the young clan leader, after all. While his vision may not be as broad as Liu Yufei's, his wisdom is definitely miles ahead. So, after Ashitaka's single glance, Liu Yufei knew the deal was off.

To be frank, Liu Yufei covets the power of the Qilin God. If he were to absorb that power, the Divine Tree would definitely bear a Devil Fruit. However, Liu Yufei hasn't completely lost his humanity, so he doesn't want to harm the Qilin God himself.

The struggle between desire and humanity, between humanity and conscience, or rather, the struggle between humanity and humanity itself—that's Liu Yufei's current state of mind. To put it bluntly, Liu Yufei wants to be both the one and the one who wants to be the one.

It's human nature to want tangible benefits while also avoiding the pangs of conscience; human nature is inherently conflicted.

If Ashitaka listens to Liu Yufei's slander and chooses to directly attack Kirin, Liu Yufei will not hesitate to stand on Ashitaka's side and declare war on Kirin.

But clearly, Ashitaka did not choose that path. Even though Liu Yufei had previously mentioned that the Kirin God possessed the ability to live forever, he still chose to leave.

This was within Liu Yufei's expectations, so he only felt a slight regret before recovering. Liu Yufei was a person who went with the flow; he was whatever the world was like.

This is a chaotic world, filled with killing. Liu Yufei will kill along with everyone else, and he will not feel any remorse.

If the monk Geda is a true villain, then Ashitaka is a true gentleman, while Liu Yufei is a hypocrite.

With the disappearance of Qilin Mountain, the golden light that had been shining also went out, as if it were a halo belonging exclusively to the Qilin God.

"Young Master, are you alright?!"

After Ashitaka re-bandaged his wound, Koroku asked with concern, after all, Ashitaka was his savior no matter what.

Ashitaka now knew that only he and Liu Yufei had witnessed what had just happened, while the man next to Jia Liu said:

"Jia Liu, do you feel that you suddenly feel much lighter?"

Because their injuries had been healed by Liu Yufei, they no longer had the healing buff from the Qilin God. However, the fatigue from their journey had been completely wiped away by the appearance of the Qilin God.

"Hey! It really is! Looks like it won't be long before we can go back!!"

Although the place was filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, the group sensed something eerie. Liu Yufei couldn't quite put his finger on it, but something just felt off.

The group immediately perked up and continued their journey towards the outskirts. Sure enough, two hours later, they finally saw a large grassland.

"Ah!! Young Master, we're out!!"

If the light just now gave people hope, the blue sky above them now undoubtedly gave them a feeling of rebirth, especially Jia Liu and his companions, who suddenly felt as if they had lived two lives.

"Ah! It feels so good to be in the sunshine! Ashitaka, it seems we've reached our destination!!"

When they arrived yesterday at night, Liu Yufei only saw black smoke and did not see Dadala. Now, from their vantage point, they could finally see the whole picture of Dadala: a cluster of wooden buildings, filled with white smoke, and the occasional metallic clanging sound.

Dadala gives a very unfriendly impression. It is surrounded by sharp wooden stakes and is full of vigilance. The river protects the central group of buildings. The pontoon bridge in the middle is the only entrance and exit of Dadala. At this moment, a few people are coming and going. When there is no war, Dadala’s gate is open during the day.

"Indeed, it's easy to defend and difficult to attack!! But compared to Baidi City, this place is child's play!"

Looking at the geographical environment of Dadala, Liu Yufei's first thought was of Baidi City, a place where one man could hold off ten thousand.

But Dadala is different from Baidi City. If Baidi City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, then Dadala is easy to attack but difficult to defend. At this moment, Ye Wufeng couldn't help but wonder if the old man was only concerned with aesthetics! Indeed, fairy tales are just fairy tales. Dadala is really not a good place. Even though Liu Yufei is a military novice, he could see the problem with Dadala.

Of course, it's likely that the old man drew it that way on purpose, after all, he was a well-known anti-war figure.

Setting up camp in this place is absolutely a taboo for military strategists, because it is a completely desperate situation. If a lord leads his troops to surround the city without attacking, and then plays a card that cuts off supplies and leaves no external aid or abundant harvests, Huan Ji will surely perish in this city.

This shows that the so-called Duke Asano is really a fool. Can this kind of place be attacked by force?

This is why Liu Yufei said that Dadala is incomparable to Baidi City. The waterways behind Baidi City are open and the water surface is extremely wide, while the water surface in Dadala is narrow and boats cannot navigate at all.

But clearly, this world, though called the Warring States period, is really just a few villages fighting each other. The powerful lords only have tens of thousands of troops, and the most powerful force around them, the so-called Marquis Asano, probably only has a few thousand people. It would be very difficult for him to take down Dadara. The key is that he is not the only lord in this world, otherwise Huanji would not have been so arrogant until now.

To the surrounding lords, Dadala was merely a minor nuisance; if it were a real threat, it would have been wiped out long ago.

The mountains surrounding Dadala were completely barren, a clear sign of scorched earth policy. Clearly, Dadala had long since exhausted the limited resources in the surrounding area, forcing them to direct their war deeper into the forest.

The surrounding hills may have once been the territory of various gods, and of course, the monkeys. But now, due to Dadala's relentless deforestation, all the animals have migrated into the deeper primeval forest.

The development of Dadala also caused regional species extinction.
