Bai Chenxiang was extremely excited.
Their Minzhi Clan focused solely on speed attributes.
They had no additional attack power.
It was all about speed.
Therefore, when the Clear Sky Clan and Tang Hao abandoned the four single-attribute clans,
The Minzhi Clan had the hardest time.
It was because they had no secondary skills.
The Lizhi Clan could forge, the Pozhi Clan could refine medicine, and the Yuzhi Clan excelled in construction.
They all had ways to make money.
But the Minzhi Clan had none; they couldn't even hunt soul beasts to make money.
If it weren't for the assistance from the other three clans, they wouldn't have survived.
But now, her martial soul had evolved into the Immortal Divine Swallow.
Not only had its quality improved,
But the immortality attribute also added attack power to her martial soul.
In the future, as long as she added attack-type soul rings, she could change the fate of the Minzhi Clan.
Moreover, her descendants would inherit the Immortal Divine Swallow.
With this, her Minzhi Clan would rise again.
She felt extremely fortunate to have met Su Bai and become his woman.
Everything she had now was given by Su Bai.
Overwhelmed with emotion, she hugged Su Bai and kissed him passionately.
After a while,
Su Bai smiled and said, "Alright, now you should absorb the immortal herb. We still have to travel tomorrow."
Bai Chenxiang nodded, calmed herself, and began to consume the Water Immortal Jade Muscle Bone.
A few hours later,
Bai Chenxiang had fully absorbed the herb's medicinal power.
Her soul power level also broke through to level 50.
Of course, it would have been higher, but she needed to absorb a soul ring, so she was stuck at level 50 for now.
With this, her previous worries vanished.
...
The next morning,
Su Bai and his party left the small town and continued their journey.
The wives were still chatting excitedly,
Mostly about what they bought and what they ate the previous day.
The women chatted happily.
But this time, Bai Chenxiang joined the conversation.
Seeing his wives getting along so well, Su Bai felt a great sense of accomplishment.
This was just right!
Half a day later,
"Something's not right!"
Hu Liena suddenly spoke up.
Su Bai nodded internally, acknowledging that Hu Liena was more alert, having experienced the Slaughter City. She had far more experience than the others.
The women looked at her in confusion.
Hu Liena glanced at Su Bai, and he nodded.
Only then did Hu Liena ask, "Do you smell something strange?"
A smell?
Ning Rongrong shook her head in confusion.
"It's the smell of blood!"
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu said simultaneously.
Zhu Zhuqing had grown up in such an environment and had seen many killings.
As for Xiao Wu, she was a soul beast, and competition among soul beasts was fierce.
For her to cultivate for tens of thousands of years, she had experienced a lot of killing.
Ning Rongrong and Bai Chenxiang's faces changed at these words.
They hadn't experienced such things, so it wasn't surprising they didn't notice.
Hu Liena was even more sensitive to the smell of blood, having gone through the Slaughter City.
Therefore, she was the first to notice.
Of course, this didn't include Su Bai.
He had sensed it from a distance.
He was just testing his wives.
Fortunately, Hu Liena didn't disappoint him.
It seemed bringing his wives out for some experience was beneficial.
After stopping the carriage, the women got off.
Ugh~
As soon as they got off the carriage, Ning Rongrong and Bai Chenxiang couldn't help but retch.
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu also looked pale, clearly trying to endure.
Only Hu Liena remained composed.
It wasn't their fault; the scene before them was too horrifying.
This was a small village.
But it looked like it had been attacked, with blood everywhere and many dismembered bodies.
Corpses were scattered all over, none of them intact.
There were even some naked female bodies.
No wonder Ning Rongrong and Bai Chenxiang couldn't handle it.
They had never seen such a sight.
At this moment, faint shouts and cries for help could be heard from within the village.
It seemed bandits were looting the village.
Su Bai's group arrived just in time; the bandits hadn't left yet.
Su Bai said, "Since we're here, we might as well help."
The Douluo Continent was a world where the strong preyed on the weak.
They just hadn't encountered it before.
Or rather, the closer they got to Sea God Island, the more chaotic it became.
Because this area wasn't under the jurisdiction of either the Heaven Dou Empire or the Star Luo Empire.
Not even the Spirit Hall.
So, chaos was normal.
"I want to help too!"
"Yes, we should help!"
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu insisted on helping.
Especially Xiao Wu, who was very angry.
She had thought the human world was beautiful; the people she had met were kind.
She hadn't expected such vile things to happen.
She wanted to kill those bandits and avenge the villagers.
Su Bai shook his head and said, "Leave this to me. Killing them would only dirty your hands."
With that, Su Bai walked towards the village.
He wasn't worried about his wives' safety.
With Xiao Wu around, there was no need to worry about their safety.
"Hey, look at this! There's a pretty boy here. Don't anyone try to take him from me; I've never tasted a pretty boy before."
Soon, Su Bai encountered the bandits.
They were all dressed in black and were numerous.
Su Bai had heard of them; they were wolf bandits, known for ambushing merchants and attacking villages.
They were known for their crimes.
One of the bandits noticed Su Bai and laughed, licking his lips.
He clearly had a special preference.
The bandit approached Su Bai with a creepy smile.
He couldn't wait to taste Su Bai.
Su Bai walked on, expressionless.
When the bandit got close, Su Bai waved his hand.
The bandit turned into a mist of blood, leaving no body behind.
The remaining bandits were terrified.
They tried to escape.
But Su Bai gave them no chance.
He unleashed his pressure, and the bandits, who weren't strong, were crushed and turned into blood mist.
Su Bai then found their leader.
A green-clad wolf bandit.
He was much stronger than the other bandits.
But he was still instantly killed by Su Bai.
Afterward, Su Bai found only a few survivors in the village.
Amid their grateful thanks, Su Bai and his wives continued their journey to Sea God Island.
In the carriage,
"Zhuqing, this soul bone is perfect for you. You should absorb it."
Su Bai handed a soul bone to Zhu Zhuqing.
This soul bone was something Su Bai had obtained after killing the green-clad wolf bandit.
He had checked its skill, 'Swift Wind Slash'.
It was perfect for Zhu Zhuqing.
So he gave it to her to absorb.
After successfully absorbing it, Zhu Zhuqing felt the skill was excellent, so she rewarded Su Bai.
