As they chatted, Lu Chen finally understood the current situation.
The Demonic Beast Army was already on the move, attacking the borders of various countries. The Seven Great Nations also responded quickly.
The White Lion Nation had issued an emergency order to all the major cities three days ago, but they didn't intend to protect the aborigines.
The White Lion Nation's territory was extremely complicated. Most importantly, there was the Demon Eye Valley within their borders, which divided the White Lion Nation into two.
Fortunately, the Peacock City's garrison had witnessed Lu Chen kill the Eight-Eyed Evil Spirit with their own eyes, and saw the Black Qilin leave the Demon Eye Valley.
This was definitely great news for them.
The White Lion Nation had given up on some of the smaller cities at the border, while organizing people to surround and exterminate the Demon Eye Valley. As a result, Lu Chen had only met aborigines in the past few days, and he hadn't seen a single cultivator.
Now, Lu Chen finally knew what this group of people was doing.
They planned to cross the border and enter the Eastern Peak Nation to seek refuge. To put it bluntly, they were refugees.
Lu Chen mixed in with the refugees, and it didn't look out of place at all …
He didn't expect so many things to have happened outside while he was using the origin crystal to strengthen his body!
Lu Chen couldn't help but frown. Had the Demonic Beast Army made a move? Was the Demonic Beast King already very powerful?
There were still three of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demonic Beasts, and they should be fully recovered once he opened the spirit vein. At that time, would it be time for the Demonic Beast Army to invade?
The Demonic Beast King's speed of growth had indeed far exceeded Lu Chen's expectations!
It was only a day's journey from here to the border, and there might be Demonic Beasts lying in ambush here. Lu Chen decided not to go alone, but to follow these aborigines into the Eastern Peak Nation first.
The steamed bread wasn't big, and he finished it in a few bites. The old man didn't hesitate at all, and handed one to Lu Chen. The old woman, however, was a little reluctant, and secretly pulled the old man away.
"We still have to eat these rations for a few days …"
The old man glared at the old lady. "It's not easy to go out. At most, I'll just eat less." After saying that, the old woman still insisted on stuffing the steamed bun into Lu Chen's hands. "Young man, you're both a father and a mother, yet your hands and feet are inconvenient. It's really not easy. By the way, the child hasn't eaten yet, right? I'll go cook some porridge for the child."
Lu Chen really wanted to say that children don't drink milk, they eat beast cores and origin crystal fragments …
"Elder, there's no need to trouble yourself. He's already eaten." Lu Chen smiled and took out some jerky and rice noodles from his backpack. "Old man, I still have some food here. Anyway, I can't finish it all by myself. You can eat it on the way."
"Ah! How, how can I accept this? "The old man's eyes were full of shock.
Most of the aboriginals worked as coolies for the immortal sects. It was normal for them to be hungry and full. It was rare for them to get their hands on some fish, but they could not bear to eat it themselves. They would sell it to the inns for some money.
In the end, this young man took out a big bag of ingredients in one go …
When the little girl saw so much food, she was stunned.
Was this the life of a rich person?
Lu Chen carried the little beast deity on his back and put the things on the old man's cart. He patted the little girl's head and said with a smile, "Are you hungry?"
The little girl nodded.
Lu Chen took out some snacks and toys and put them in the little girl's hands.
These things were not worth mentioning in Lu Chen's eyes, but to these aboriginals, they were already unimaginable riches.
At night, the whole family was already asleep. Lu Chen was not sleepy and leaned against a nearby tree.
The probing attacks of the Magical Beast Army had already forced these aboriginals to migrate … their lives were too pitiful.
"Is it about to start?" Lu Chen's brows were tightly knitted.
The Origin God's voice suddenly rang out. "Do you feel like you're not ready yet?"
Lu Chen nodded. "I don't know if they'll wait for me to open the other three spirit veins. But even if I open them all, I don't know how strong I'll be, or if I'll be able to fight against the supreme Magical Beast! "
"Are you trying to delay the opening of the spirit veins? Actually, I don't think the Magical Beasts will wait for you for too long. They're already itching to try. "
Lu Chen nodded. "I know. They might not need to wait for the Four Heavenly Kings to fully recover their strength. I'm afraid I don't have much time left."
Lu Chen had experienced the war between the countries and the war between the ten thousand races, but none of them were as real as this one.
The vastness of the Fifth Heaven made Lu Chen feel how small he was.
And strictly speaking, this was no longer a game. The war here was a real life and death battle!
"Origin God, is Luo Yao alright?" Lu Chen suddenly asked.
"Her? She's fine. Don't you want to know her identity? "
"She should be the royal family of the Dongyue Nation," Lu Chen said.
"Indeed."
Lu Chen nodded. This could be guessed from Luo Yao's strength. She might be a princess or something like that. She was mischievous and ran into him. Now that the Dongyue Nation was in trouble, she had to rush back.
"Do you know she's in danger?"
"Not at the moment. She's still in the Dongyue Imperial City."
Lu Chen frowned slightly. After thinking for a long time, he said, "The Dongyue Nation should be referring to the invasion of the Magical Beasts. Since she's fine, I don't need to look for her."
"You really don't want to see her? Maybe some things will be out of your expectations. "
Lu Chen shook his head. "I already know what I want to know. Now I have more important things to do! The Magical Beast Army won't wait for me to open the Spirit Meridians. I plan to open two Spirit Meridians first and seize the time to see if there are other ways to become stronger! "
The sudden situation made Lu Chen nervous. He couldn't be as carefree as before.
"Send these natives to the Dongyue Nation. Then I'll go directly to the four nations of the Great Wilderness!"
When the Origin God heard Lu Chen's plan, he didn't say anything else. Lu Chen was right. The matter of the Magical Beast Army was more important than meeting Luo Yao!
The next morning, someone woke everyone up. The refugees continued their journey to the west.
In the afternoon, they arrived at the border between the Dongyue Nation and the Baishi Nation.
When Lu Chen first came to the Baishi Nation, he didn't encounter any obstructions. But this time, a large number of guards appeared in the direction of the Dongyue Nation.
They sealed off the road and guarded it tightly.
A few natives were negotiating with the guards, but it seemed that they didn't intend to let them pass.
Everyone was anxiously waiting for the result.
Lu Chen squeezed to the front.
"Immortal, I beg you, let us pass!" A middle-aged native begged. "If there's really a war, we can help you build fortifications and plant food!"
"We walked for more than ten days to get here. Now, the outer cities of the Baishi Nation have no guards. If you let us go back now, we'll definitely die if we encounter the Magical Beasts!"
The general of the guards shouted. "What does your life or death have to do with us? Get out of my way! If you want to die, die in your Baishi Nation! "
"Immortal, the Jade Emperor ordered us to protect the natives. This shows that the Dongyue Nation is benevolent. I beg you to let us in!"
The guard suddenly drew his weapon and said sternly, "If not for the Jade Emperor's order, I would have killed all of you! A bunch of trash! "
If these natives returned now, they would be courting death. All of them stood rooted to the ground, their expressions dim.
"You're still not leaving? You're the ones who trespassed the border. Don't blame me! Shoot them all, don't leave a single one alive! "
