Now that the water source was found, the demon hunter simply picked up some water and left. In addition, the giant python's corpse was also dissected and quickly cleaned up with spirit power. Each person shared a part and carried it on his body. Leaded by the middle-aged man, the demon hunters followed him around several alleys, and soon came behind a row of collapsed buildings.

From the outside, unsuspecting people thought it was in ruins, but when they walked in, they discovered that there was a row of buildings behind the ruins, which were very hidden. The civilians who fled here were hiding inside.

Along the way, Zhuang Yi and others also learned some news about this place through the middle-aged man.

First of all, the middle-aged man's name is Wu Xian. The old man is his father, and the two children are his children. The total number of people living with Wu Xian is exactly 20. There are seven adult men including Wu Xian. , Two of them were physically mutilated because they had encountered Warcraft before, although they saved their lives. There were four adult women, three of whom were about the same age as Wu Xian, and one was in his twenties, younger, and less than sixteen. There are seven children, and the remaining two, including Wu Xian's father, are two elderly people.

It is said that there were more than sixty people living in the house at the beginning. They lived together and took turns to look for food outside every day. Although it was very close to the water source, sometimes even if they couldn’t find food, they could barely survive for a few days even if they couldn’t find food. , But it is precisely because of this that every time I go to fetch water or hunt, I often encounter Warcraft.

Everyone is a civilian with no spirit power. Even if they encounter a Level 3 monster, they may be killed and become the dinner of the monster. In the end, some people decided to leave here, took more than 20 people and left, and the rest People, a few died every few days, and became the current twenty people. If it weren’t for Zhuang Yi and others to rescue Wu Xian’s family today, I’m afraid the number of people inside would have dropped sharply.

"Stay here is also dead. Why didn't you choose to leave? Although there is water here, it is also dangerous. According to your mortality rate, if there is no accident, the remaining 20 people in it will probably not last for a few months. After hearing Wu Xian's words, Zhuang Yi couldn't help asking.

Wu Xian raised his head and glanced at Zhuang Yi. Because he had not had enough food for a long time and was living in fear, Wu Xian, a man who was in his prime, looked very old, his face full of ravines was blown by the wind from the northwest. The scab was scabs, the eyes were full of red blood, and the whole person looked exhausted. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he only sighed, then pointed to the front and said: "Sir, soul master, we are here."

Upon seeing this, Zhuang Yi didn't ask any more questions, and entered with the demon hunters.

Wu Xian lived in a deserted old house with gloomy surroundings, and the environment did not look very good. After entering, the first thing you saw was a huge hall, and then a small courtyard. The building inside has two floors, distributed In each room, the civilians hiding here live on top of each other.

After Wu Xian brought in Zhuang Yi, he asked the demon hunters to wait in the lobby, and then he went in and called out all the people inside.

When the people inside came down one after another, and saw more than a hundred people standing in the hall with solemn expressions, they were shocked, and the timid children even screamed.

The demon hunters turned their heads and glanced at the general situation. Sure enough, as Wu Xian said, including the elderly and children, there were a total of about 20 people, all with sallow faces, and it seemed that they were not living well. , Especially those with long bodies, skinny and bony, it is uncomfortable to look at.

Wu Xian hurriedly repeated the explanation of their family being rescued by the Demon Hunter. The expressions on those people's faces slowly calmed down when they heard the words. However, looking at the Demon Hunter's expression, he was still shocked, as if he didn't expect it. The soul master would save them, and even visit their residences.

Upon seeing this, Zhuang Yi understood that there must be hidden secrets, but he did not rush to ask, and made a simple self-introduction with Mo Weian, and made clear his intentions, because Zhuang Yi and Mo Weian not only have outstanding looks, but also their faces. The smile on the face is often close to the heart and cannot refuse. Soon, the civilians nodded a little nervously, and then invited the demon hunters to sit down in the lobby first, and they went to arrange a room for the demon hunters.

The hall was very empty. There was nothing. The demon hunters walked for a day without food. They were too lazy to find a chair. They simply sat on the floor, and then took out the python meat they had just killed, as well as water. , Using the spirit power to start cooking.

I have lived in the wild for several months. Although they didn’t carry any seasonings, the members of the hunting team had already mastered the essence of cooked meat. They used the shortest time to cook the meat to just the right amount. It didn’t take a moment for the meat to be cooked. The fragrance slowly floated out, overflowing the entire hall.

Wu Xian and others were about to come over and talk to Zhuang Yi about their room. When they smelled the scent, all their eyes became straight.

After swallowing hard, Wu Xian and the others sucked their noses wildly, their eyes gleaming with craving for food, they couldn't help looking at the boiling snake soup almost greedily.

The northwest that has been ruined by the alien demon is deserted, and the beasts are basically extinct. The organs arranged by the hunters will be destroyed in a few days, but all the monsters are coming. Wu Xian and the others are ordinary people. It's a good idea if they can become a beast. They can only gnaw some plant roots every day, so at this time they smelled the smell of meat and everyone was almost starving.

The demon hunting team with their backs to Wu Xian and others quickly sensed the gaze they were staring at. Even a soul master, being stared at by such gazes, they couldn’t bear it. When they discovered that Wu Xian and others were thirsty for food , Zhuang Yi said immediately: "The meat is almost cooked, let's come and eat together."

When Wu Xian and the others saw the people from the hunting team, they all took a step back in fright like a frightened bird. They were about to wave their hands to explain that they were not coveting the food of the soul master, but when they heard the invitation of Zhuang Yi, they all suddenly. All dumbfounded.

"This monster was hunted and killed by the adults, thank you for your life-saving grace, we... don't dare to eat, don't dare to eat..."

Upon seeing this, Zhuang Yi stood up and smiled: "Thanks to you, we were able to find this monster. Otherwise, I don't know where to find such a big python. There is a lot of meat, and we can't finish it. Come and help us eat some. "

As Zhuang Yi spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Liang An.

Liang An immediately understood, stepped forward and pulled them over with a smile.

In the demon hunting team, Lei Xiu, Zhang Chengluo and others have always been cold-faced, even if the spirit masters with tough minds saw them, they were a little bit afraid, let alone ordinary people. Although Zhuang Yi and Mo Weian were kind, they always carried a somewhat elegant demeanor. Although Wu Xian and others wanted to get close to them, they really talked face to face, but they were still somewhat restrained.

On the contrary, Liang An's appearance is a little more ordinary, which is easy to make people feel good and at the same time not feel restrained. At this time, seeing Liang An invited, Wu Xian and others shied away from a few words. In the end, they could not bear the hunger, and embarrassedly took the elderly woman. Sit down with the children one by one.

At this time, the meat was completely cooked. Liang An and the logistics staff began to distribute food. The white crane was already greedy. It is a crane and feeds on snakes. At this time, I saw this steaming snake soup. The fragrant smell, the first one couldn't bear it, and shamelessly ran to Liang An's feet to act like a baby, trying to eat something delicious quickly.

Seeing that Baihe was so funny, the civilian child on the side couldn't help but laugh. Baihe looked at the group of children and saw that they liked it, and he became more and more trembling.

The body of this giant python was big enough. After a meal, more than a hundred people present were full and very satisfied. Those stern civilians saw that the demon hunter was completely different from the soul masters they had seen before, and gradually Relax.

Seeing that the time was about to come, Zhuang Yi slowly chatted with Wu Xian and others.

When asked again why Wu Xian and others knew the situation would get worse and worse if this continues, and still chose to stay here, Wu Xian glanced at Zhuang Yi and finally said, "Because, no matter where you go, It's dying. There is still a place to live here. There is water nearby, which is also a hope. If you go to other places, you will die faster and more terrible..."

Wu Xian's words immediately caught the attention of the Demon Hunter, and the common people sitting aside saw Wu Xian speak, and they all lowered their heads in silence. The warm atmosphere just now calmed down. Zhuang Yi looked at Wu Xian and said, "Have you been to other cities?"

Wu Xian nodded. Everyone who saw the Demon Hunter was looking at him. He looked very different from the soul master he had been in contact with before. Wu Xian slowly said everything he knew: "A few months. Earlier, there was something called a strange monster, which suddenly appeared from nowhere. There are so many, and countless countless numbers! They don’t look like monsters, they don’t want plants, they don’t have heads, limbs, and can’t speak. , But it will move. All the spirit masters who resisted in the city were killed by them, and some children in the family were also captured by them. They did not know what to do. Many people said that the children were eaten by them. After eating the children, they become more powerful. From now on, the entire continent will be theirs. They ask us to be obedient, and maybe they can spare us not to die."

Hearing this, Lei Xiu frowned.

Zhuang Yi and Lei Xiu looked at each other and saw the same speculation in each other's eyes: the alien monsters would occupy the human body, as long as they pretended to be humans, and then turned their heads to deceive and instigate these civilians. People who don't understand the truth are very likely. I will really be coaxed into the past and become a slave to a strange monster!

It only kills the rebellious spirit masters, only eats children, but did not drive out ordinary people to extinction. This shows the ambition of alien demons to rule the mainland and surpass humans!

Wu Xian did not expect that his words made Zhuang Yi and the others think so much. He continued: "Because the cities close to the Palace of Souls are all occupied by strange demons, they drove us back. There are still a few children and I. Father, we were imprisoned in this city, and the strange demons raised us like cattle.

Until more than a month ago, I didn't know what happened, suddenly all the strange demons gathered together, then retreated to the rear and fled. They ran in the direction of Lancheng. Originally, they only killed disobedient soul masters and little babies, but this time, they killed everything they saw on the road. Many people said that they saw people being eaten by strange demons with their own eyes. Especially the people in Lancheng, hundreds of thousands, were all eaten up by strange demons. Human blood could flow into rivers, bones could pile up into mountains, and even at night, many strange sounds would be heard.

Those of us who were locked up in other cities were lucky enough to survive, and all of us were scared to death. Because the alien demon ran out from the Palace of Souls, and everyone said that the Palace of Souls was defeated and turned into the territory of beasts, so everyone did not dare to go forward and retreated to the east under the leadership of the soul masters who survived. , In the end, those soul masters found a Chong'an City and decided to live in it. "

Chong'an City? Zhuang Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.

He liked to read books when he was in school. Zhuang Yi naturally explored the more famous cities in mainland China. Although Chong'an City is not a big city, it is famous because of its neighboring Chonghe River.

The northwest is barren, and the yield of grain is very low. However, several large cities near the Palace of Souls have a large population. In order to ensure the supply of grain, it is necessary to transport grain from the south.

Even if there are powerful soul masters in the mainland, the storage and transportation of a large amount of food is a troublesome matter. In the end, the soul palace thought of a way to go by water. Chonghe traverses the southwest, and several suitable cities adjacent to Chonghe are all set up as grain storage cities, and Chong'an City is one of them.

The strange demons fled, and the surviving human spirit masters took the civilians into the easy-to-defend and hard-to-attack Chong’an City, and they had food in their hands. Logically speaking, they could live a stable life until they waited for the response from the Palace of Souls, but why But Wu Xian appeared here, with a group of old and weak women and children, living a life of hunger and fullness?

Wu Xian didn’t notice that Zhuang Yi’s face was dark, and said, “In the beginning, there were not many people living in Chong’an. The food was enough for us. I took my wife and children, as well as my elderly father living in it. The bitter days have finally come to an end. As a result, I didn’t expect that a few days later, more and more people came to Chong’an City. In addition to a large number of civilians like us, many powerful soul masters also moved in. Chong’an City manages food. The soul master of screamed, saying that there was not enough food to distribute to everyone, so he decided to distribute it according to his strength. The stronger the person, the more food he would get.

They chose the strongest soul master to become the city lord, and they also chose what commander, city guards, etc. we don’t understand. They distribute food to them according to their ranks. When it’s the turn of ordinary people, it’s not enough. .

There were too many ordinary people. Finally, the soul master held a meeting and decided to drive out some useless people to reduce the burden on Chong'an City. "

"What, so you were kicked out?!" Mo Weian heard the words and immediately shouted.

Wu Xian was startled. He looked up at Mo Weian like a bird of fright, and then looked at the spirit masters around him in horror. Ask them to spit out the food.

Seeing the expression of Wu Xian and others, Mo Weian immediately understood that he was abrupt, and he quickly said in embarrassment, "I didn't mean anything else, I was just too shocked. I didn't mean to be so loud."

Upon seeing this, Wu Xian and the others waved their hands to indicate that it was okay.

However, the atmosphere of the Demon Hunter is particularly heavy.

Everyone in the Demon Hunting Team is a spirit master. Perhaps in the past, when they faced ordinary people, they had the pride and superiority of being a spirit master. However, after such a long life and death training, they were affected by Lei Xiu and Zhuang Yi. I have felt the influence of people’s thoughts and felt the responsibility and glory of guarding the Palace of Souls as a soul master. Not only the strength, but everyone’s mind has also matured. As Zhuang Yi said before, the ability of the soul master is stronger than ordinary people. Should shoulder heavier responsibilities, but the soul masters Wu Xian said were completely the opposite!

According to what Wu Xian said before, when the alien demon came, the rebelling spirit masters had been killed by the alien. These spirit masters chose to surrender when facing the alien demon, but when the alien demon left, they began to surrender. Dominate and be blessed.

To a certain extent, they are not even as good as different demons. The different demons keep these ordinary people in captivity and at least give them food, but these spirit masters have driven out their kind, which is equivalent to driving these people to a dead end. !

Thinking of this, everyone in the Demon Hunter couldn't help being angry, all of them bowed their heads and their faces were sullen.

Wu Xian and the others looked at the sullen expressions of more than a hundred soul masters, and carefully surrounded his companions.

Zhuang Yi immediately noticed their emotional tension. Seeing Baihe lying on the side snoring after eating and drinking, Zhuang Yi suddenly poked his ass.

"Quack!!" The white crane jumped up fiercely, flapping its wings and shouting loudly: "Who! Who touched my chrysanthemum!"

Zhuang Yi: "..."

Lei Xiu leaned over and glanced at Zhuang Yi with a smile.

Zhuang Yi noticed Lei Xiu's gaze, so he turned his head and pretended not to see it.

After Bai He woke up, he also noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere. Seeing Zhuang Yichong blinked, he looked at himself expectantly. Bai He looked at Lei Xiu again. When he found that Lei Xiu was also looking at him, Bai He's heart rose. There was a sense of silence.

What about the tiger, at the critical moment, I still have to rely on my crane brother!

Thinking of this, Bai He immediately did his best and happily rejoiced, flirting with Liang An Haiming and others for a while, rubbing against Zhang Chengluo and Ran Xing again, and then running to the group of children again. Twisting his hips in front of him to show off his prestige.

Although the children are afraid of Warcraft, the white crane looks too harmless, especially its half-fairy bones and half-bald and wretched appearance, which makes you look at it.

Under Baihe’s hard performance, the atmosphere gradually eased.

Although Wu Xian has instinctively feared the powerful life after experiencing so many things, he also has his own intelligence. Otherwise, how could he be able to do it with one person in a period of such a high mortality rate? How about protecting an elderly father and two young children?

After a while, Wu Xian continued the previous topic: "There are standards for driving people in Chong'an City. Among the common people, young, healthy and beautiful men or women can stay, and teenagers who have just reached the age of sixteen can also stay. There are also civilians with one skill. After being screened, some of them can continue to stay in Chong'an City to serve the city lord. In addition, spirit masters above level 5 are qualified to carry civilians. You can keep it.

My two children are less than thirteen years old this year, and my father is sixty years old this year, and I, not a soul master, are just an ordinary hunter. The people in the city lord’s mansion think the four of us are useless and compulsive. Sexually drove our family out of the City Lord’s Mansion, but at this time, the child’s mother voluntarily chose to stay..."

As Wu Xian said, slowly lowered his head, embarrassedly buried his face in his rough hands.

Zhuang Yi and others were startled.

In order to survive, abandon her husband and abandon her son, such a woman...

Looking at Wu Xian like this, Zhuang Yi and others suddenly didn't know what to say to comfort him.

The City Lord’s Mansion made a good calculation, the soul master stayed, and the fighting power was retained. The fifth-level soul master could carry civilians. This gave the face of a slightly stronger soul master, young and beautiful men and women, and kept venting. A teenager who has reached the age of sixteen can be awakened at any time. It is a potential stock. As for civilians with a skill, I am afraid that they will be reserved for the city lord’s mansion. After all, most soul masters only focus on cultivation, and for management personnel, financial management and other aspects. Not good at...

This is to use Chong'an City as a base to establish itself as a king.

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Zhuang Yi's eyes.

Wu Xian lost his temper for a moment, and slowly came over. He understood who the leader of this team was, so he looked at Zhuang Yi and Lei Xiu beggingly: "It doesn't matter what we adults and old people, even if we die, live. After so many years, it’s enough, but the children are still young. There are a total of seven children under the age of 16. Although they are all children born to our group of ordinary civilians, it does not mean that they will not be able to become soul masters in the future. ,them……"

As Wu Xian was talking, thinking of seeing the dead people in these days, Wu Xian couldn't help but choke.

The people sitting behind Wu Xian, listening to Wu Xian’s words, did not consciously show an expression of pain on their faces. Although the seven children were still young, they had gone through so many things that made them more than their peers. Even more precocious, they walked to Wu Xian's side, and Wu Xian's two children hugged his father and comforted them with a tender voice.

This scene made some members of the Demon Hunting squad red eyes.

"We will take you back." At this moment, Lei Xiu spoke.

His voice was low and cold. Although Wu Xian and others saw that he was sturdy and handsome, and with extraordinary momentum, no one dared to approach him, and even looked a little scared at him, but no one thought that it was such a man and made a promise to them. .

At this moment, Wu Xian and the ordinary people forgot to be afraid. After a brief astonishment, they looked at Lei Xiu gratefully: "Thank you everyone... Thank you all soul masters..."

After staying here for one night that night, I had a good rest and kept my spirits up. The next day, the demon hunters took these twenty ordinary people and set off for Chong'an City.
