The night in the wilderness of the divine realm is quiet and desolate.
Su Huai hides in the night, already about fifty miles away from Rongxia Village. Along the way, he encountered many nocturnal predators, but still hasn't found any ghosts above the eighth rank.
At this moment, he is covered in black-red armor, with a strange black-faced red cloak draped on his back, and his head has two feet, with sharp claws, walking on the earth in the form of a Night Shadow Demon.
Although he is not a ghost, due to the characteristics of the demon, there is no one who dares to provoke him.
Snap—
Stepping on the broken branches on the ground, Su Huai looks up at the desolate wilderness under the moonlight, but his brows are more and more tightly wrinkled.
"What's going on..."
"Where have all the high-ranking ghosts gone?"
A small snake swims from the fingertips and lies on Su Huai's shoulder.
[There are generally two possibilities in this situation]
[Either, the high-ranking ghosts have been summoned by the lord and went to attack other lords' territories]
[Or, they have all been killed by something...]
[If it's the first possibility, it's okay, but if it's the second, I can only say... Run as far as you can before that thing notices you]
Su Huai swallows his saliva, gathers his cloak, and dares not walk carelessly, lowering his posture.
"Let's take a look again..."
He takes a deep breath and heads deeper.
When the four cold moons intersect, almost in the center of the sky, Su Huai relies on the traces along the way and touches a rugged stone forest.
Snap, snap...
The forest keeps making a creepy chewing sound.
Su Huai sticks to a strange stone, gathers all the breath around him, and carefully looks in the direction of the chewing sound.
First, there are broken limbs and bones all over the ground.
Torn wings, half a ghost head, and everywhere there are broken claws, crushed bone stubble.
In the center of the stone forest, a humanoid monster with four arms, all black and gray, with green faces and fangs, is sitting on the ground, constantly stuffing the remains of ghosts into its abdomen.
The monster is very fat, the flesh on its body is layered, and there is a sickly green liquid seeping out from under the skin.
Looking closely, it has only four eyes on its head, two black nostrils, no ears, and no mouth.
Hmm... The mouth is on the abdomen, and it is a vertical mouth, with a row of sharp and thin teeth inside.
Hiss...
What is this thing!?
The small snake's eyes flicker, with a slightly heavy voice ringing in Su Huai's mind:
[Demon race!]
[Deadly Butcher!]
"Butcher?"
Su Huai squints his eyes, communicating with the small snake through consciousness.
"It's a bit like the monsters in Resident Evil..."
[What is Resident Evil?]
"Ah, nothing, what is the cultivation of this butcher, why can't I see through it?"
[Half-step to the national level!]
Tsk, tsk, this is the territory of a ghost lord, and suddenly a demon race at the half-step to the national level appears here, which means it is self-evident...
"Is it here to rob the territory?"
[That's right]
[And it appears here without the knowledge of the gods and ghosts, probably relying on the hunting of those eight or nine rank ghosts to obtain enough nutrition and break through to the national level]
Su Huai shivers, smelling a conspiracy from this matter.
Involving the struggle of the national-level strong, it is no longer a small human chicken that he can mix.
He quietly retreated backward.
Migration! Migration must be tonight!
This place is only a hundred miles away from Rongxia Village. Once the battle breaks out, I'm afraid the aftermath will make those weak villagers bleed from the seven orifices.
Rongxia Village -
Su Huai returned to the village entrance and took off the disguise. Captain Jin was still patrolling the village with people.
The daytime is considered a safe period for this area.
The work of the guard team has always been at night.
Seeing Su Huai coming back, Captain Jin immediately came up.
"How is it outside?"
"It's very troublesome!"
Su Huai sighed.
"Less than a hundred miles away from here, there is a demon race at the half-step to the national level that is dormant, and it is estimated that the battle for the lords will break out soon!"
"Call the villagers to prepare for the migration, as soon as possible!"
Captain Jin's brows are tightly locked.
"So urgent?"
Su Huai patted his shoulder: "The battle for the lords may not happen immediately, but I must remind you that all the high-ranking ghosts around the village, within a radius of a hundred miles, have all been hunted by that demon race..."
"No one knows whether it will start with lower-level creatures when it urgently needs nutrition..."
Hearing that all the high-ranking ghosts around the village have been hunted, Captain Jin immediately shuddered and immediately ordered the guard team members to wake up the sleeping villagers.
He himself held a short spear and quickly ran to the residence of the village head.
Su Huai stood at the entrance of the village, watching the guard team members knock on the doors of the villagers' houses one by one, and quietly told them about the current situation.
Most of the villagers didn't ask much and immediately started to pack up their belongings.
A few young and strong men, under the leadership of a guard team member, pushed the carts in the village and quickly ran to the farmland in the east of the village.
Regardless of whether the crops in the field are ripe or not, they all pulled up the roots and threw them onto the cart.
Cao Jiaxue's governance of the village is indeed successful.
The elders have mostly experienced the last migration, or have heard from their parents about the stories of migration, and when they hear that the situation is urgent, they all start to pack up silently.
Only a few young people in their twenties are used to a peaceful life and are a bit annoyed by the decision to migrate in the middle of the night, but after being scolded by their parents, they can only quickly pack up their own luggage.
There are opinions, but everyone understands in their hearts that the safety of the village depends on the village head and the guard team.
The composition of the village is simple and crude, that is, the dictatorship of the strongest person in the village, the village head Cao Jiaxue, and the captain of the guard team, Jin Yuanchong.
If you don't listen... then stay and wait to die.
In less than a quarter of an hour, most people have packed their bags, and the village head also came to the entrance of the village with the captain.
Cao Jiaxue sighed.
She handed Su Huai a bulging big bag.
"Mr. Su, this is all the fruits of Zhishui Tangerine."
"I can't dig that tree for you..."
"It doesn't matter."
Su Huai took the bag and put it into the storage ring.
This operation made Cao Jiaxue look at his ring a few more times, but she didn't say much.
Storage devices also exist in the divine realm, but they are not something that people who are struggling to survive can afford.
"The general situation outside has just been explained to me by Captain Jin, and the decision to start the migration as soon as possible is right."
"But this trip will definitely be dangerous, along the way... please take care of Mr. Su!"
Su Huai nodded: "Rest assured, since I promised you, I will do my best."
After another quarter of an hour, the young and strong people who went to collect the crops came back with the carts, and after the captain's check, all the villagers of Rongxia Village were assembled.
Those young and strong people found Uncle Nan's grave, but they didn't ask much.
People who are struggling to survive have a good understanding of the importance of things, and there are not so many whys. Even if there are doubts, they have to hold back and wait until the migration is completed before speaking.
But Cao Jiaxue still briefly explained the current predicament we are facing.
She talked about Uncle Nan's death, the fact that the banyan tree is about to run out of power, and the disaster that the village is about to face that cannot be resisted.
Panic is short-lived.
Instead, it made those who were confused and dissatisfied with the late-night migration silent, and the migration became more urgent.
"You can start."
"Okay."
The team is not very long.
The villagers add up to just about two hundred people.
Cao Jiaxue and Captain Jin are responsible for the lead, the guard team is on the left and right, and Su Huai took the initiative to take the rear.
Interestingly, after Su Huai quietly untied the ground array, the little skeleton actually led the camel, not too fast or too slow, following the migration team.
I don't know if it's just the way, or if you want to wait for Su Huai to pay back the loan after a week and then leave.
