"Wait, there's still one alive."
Just as Lin Muyu was about to leave, Zhang Wei turned around and stepped into the bushes. With a swing of his longsword, he beheaded the heavily injured hunter, and the head rolled far away. Then, Zhang Wei searched his body and found a small bag. He took it off, then took the other hunter's bag and said, "Lord War God, we can go now."
"What's that?" Lin Muyu asked in surprise.
"Food bags."
Zhang Wei said, "Every hunter who goes out to hunt will bring at least three days' worth of rations. These bags are enough for us to survive in the wilderness for half a month."
Lin Muyu was a little speechless. "I don't need it. I don't lack food."
He patted the Cosmos Sack at his waist and said, "I brought enough food for a year. You can keep it for yourself."
"Yes, Lord War God."
Zhang Wei was a little shocked. Then, he looked at the sky and said, "It's going to be dusk soon. Lord War God, let's find a cave to hide in first?"
"Hide? Hide from what? "
"Those demons hiding in the darkness." The guard said in a low voice, "You might not know this, but I've said it before. There are gods, demons, and humans in the Eternal Sword Domain. Whenever night falls, humans hide in their houses and caves, trembling in fear. Even gods don't dare to appear outside. Those demons will be accompanied by gales of wind and sand, devouring everything that can be eaten."
Lin Muyu frowned. "What are those demons?"
"They came with the wind and can hide in the yellow sand. Even I … can't fight against two demons working together. Besides, once they appear, they will be in groups. We don't have much time left. We must hide within an hour, or we will become two sets of bones tomorrow."
"That scary? Alright, let's find a place to hide. "
"Alright."
… …
As a squad leader of the Hunter's Union, Zhang Wei was very familiar with the terrain, so he quickly found a very hidden cave. He cut off a huge rock with his sword and used it to cover the entrance of the cave. After that, he lived in the cave, roasting his food and eating it.
Lin Muyu watched from the side, only to find that Zhang Wei broke a piece of bread into two pieces, only roasted one piece, and put the other half into the food bag, looking quite thrifty.
It seemed that the gods of the Eternal Sword Domain really did have it tough.
Lin Muyu fumbled around and found some deer leg meat in her Qiankun Bag. She gave it to him and said, "Roast this. It tastes better and there's oil."
"Ah? Meat … "Zhang Wei was stunned.
"What?"
"I … I haven't eaten meat in a long time."
"Aren't you a member of the Hunter's Union? Logically speaking, after you kill your prey, you should eat their flesh. "
"No." Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "In the Eternal Sword Domain, I can only be considered a newcomer. Moreover, I was exiled because I was filled with disappointment and hatred. I kill because those who betrayed me deserve to be killed, not because I'm really that evil. Although I've joined the Hunter's Union, every time I go out, I only want dry rations. I don't want human flesh, so … the food I'm given is very little."
"Looks like you're not completely rotten."
Lin Muyu glanced at him and said, "Roast it and eat it. This is venison, not human flesh."
"Many thanks, milord …"
… …
Just as Zhang Wei was roasting the venison and smelling the fragrant aroma, a gale began to blow outside. Lin Muyu couldn't help but stand up and walk to the entrance of the cave. She squinted her eyes and looked outside, only to see that the sky had turned dark. A biting cold storm swept past, bringing with it yellow sand. It was as if the end of the world had come. No wonder the trees outside did not grow tall. The wind was so strong that it could even roll stones, and the trees had long since been uprooted.
"Hiss, hiss …"
In the darkness, figures appeared one after another. They were monsters walking on four feet. Their eyes were dark, and there were two jaws in front of their heads that were like knives. They were probably used to hunt and kill prey. Moreover, each of these monsters let out a chilling hiss. They walked in the wind as if they were walking on flat ground, searching for prey.
Zhang Wei pulled out a small knife and began to cut the venison. As he ate, he said, "Lord War God, what do you see?"
"Some big bugs running around on the ground."
"Oh, those are the legendary crypt demons. They can hide in the yellow sand and the wind, killing people without leaving a trace. Many gods have died in their hands and become their food. I advise you not to try to fight the crypt demons. Once surrounded by the crypt demons, even a god will find it hard to escape death. "
"Yes, I know."
Lin Muyu could sense how powerful these crypt demons were. Naturally, she would not try to fight them easily. Moreover, each of these crypt demons had the battle prowess of a hundred Mara. If this was the army that the Devil Realm had sent out, it would be a disaster for the six realms.
After watching for a while, Lin Muyu walked back and sat down. She said, "Zhang Wei, have you heard of a story about the Sword Realm?"
"I have."
Zhang Wei wiped his mouth and said, "The City of Dawn."
"The City of Dawn?"
"Yes, Lord. I heard that 100,000 years ago, there was no City of Dawn. The ten strongest experts of the Eternal Sword Domain fought there. In the end, nine of them died, and only one survived. His name was Meng Tiefeng. He built the City of Dawn single-handedly. It is said that … the strongest power in the Eternal Sword Domain is in Meng Tiefeng's hands. Perhaps … the power of the Sword Realm that Lord War God is looking for is in the City of Dawn!"
"Alright, where is the City of Dawn? Take me there."
"This …"
Zhang Wei hesitated, then said, "Hunters do not have the right to enter the City of Dawn. The gods in the City of Dawn have already pledged their loyalty to the City Lord, Meng Tiefeng. Even if we go to the City of Dawn, we will not be able to enter. Moreover … you have killed six hunters. The Hunter's Alliance will soon follow us. What we need to consider is not how to get to the City of Dawn, but how to survive."
"Is the Hunter's Alliance that powerful?"
"Yes, there are millions of members in the Hunter's Alliance. They have eyes and ears everywhere in the Eternal Sword Domain. Moreover, the Hunter's Alliance has a rule of iron and blood. They will definitely find us. Lord, do you know what the conditions to join the Hunter's Alliance are? "
"What?"
"Two people must form a partnership and apply to join the Alliance. After that, they must fight and kill each other. The one who survives will be able to join the Alliance."
Lin Muyu frowned. "Who came up with such a perverted rule?"
"The leader of the Alliance, Luo Xingzhi."
"Sounds like an expert."
"Yes. If the City of Dawn's Meng Tiefeng is the king of the Eternal Sword Domain, then Luo Xingzhi is the other king who can rival Meng Tiefeng."
"No matter what, I must go to the City of Dawn tomorrow."
"Alright." Zhang Wei felt a little helpless. "Lord, if you are not afraid of death, I will accompany you."
"Alright!"
Suddenly, a creaking sound came from the entrance of the cave. It seemed like the stone blocking the entrance was beginning to loosen.
"What's going on?" Lin Muyu asked.
Zhang Wei hurriedly extinguished the flames. "This is bad. The smell of roasted meat might have attracted the Crypt Demon. I was too careless. Don't make a sound … don't make a sound …"
Lin Muyu had already unsheathed the Xuanyuan Sword. The sword glowed faintly in the darkness.
The creaking sound became even more intense. It seemed like something was cutting the stone. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the stone exploded. A giant beast hidden in the yellow sand pounced towards them. It was the Crypt Demon that Zhang Wei had mentioned.
"Roar!"
Its mouth was wide open, and its jaws were also open. It was ready to bite its prey at any time. But this time, its prey was clearly not simple. The power of the Saint Martial appeared around Lin Muyu's arms. Her sword flashed like lightning, and the Crypt Demon immediately retreated. Its head split open in the middle, and green blood splattered everywhere.
"My god …" Zhang Wei turned pale with fright. On one hand, he was shocked by Lin Muyu's strength. She had killed a Crypt Demon with a single strike. This was too shocking. On the other hand, it had alarmed the Crypt Demons. More Crypt Demons would soon arrive.
As expected, the roars in the distance became louder and more frequent. In the darkness, pairs of eyes with a gloomy luster stared at the two people in the cave.
"Is this cave connected to the other end?" Lin Muyu asked.
Zhang Wei shook his head. "No … it's over … it's over. We're going to die here tonight."
"Why are you so unambitious …"
Lin Muyu said, "We can't just sit here and wait for death. Let's fight our way out. I'll lead the way, and you'll cover the rear. Don't worry, my Saint Martial Power will greatly increase your strength. Tell me where we can take refuge."
"Nearby … there's only a small city nearby that can take refuge. Aleut City is to the north, about 20 kilometers from here."
"That far … Forget it, where's the north?"
"Straight ahead!"
"Go!"
Lin Muyu shouted. The power of the Saint Martial Power turned into a ray of light and seeped into Zhang Wei's body, greatly stimulating his potential. For a moment, Zhang Wei was pleasantly surprised. "This … What kind of power is this? Lord Martial God, I feel … I'm almost invincible … "
"No, you're still far from being invincible. Go!"
"Yes!"
…
The Xuan-Yuan Sword shone brightly, and Lin Muyu raised her sword and unleashed a Furious Sky Splitting Slash. A hundred-meter-long sword qi slashed out, clearing a path in front of them. The Crypt Demons actually revealed expressions of fear, and they stopped moving forward as they watched their companions being killed.
Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment. He had lived in the Eternal Sword Domain for thousands of years, but he had never seen the Crypt Fiends show such fear.
But this fear only lasted for less than half a minute. Under the roar of a certain evil beast, the group of Crypt Fiends chased after them. This was their normal behavior!
Lin Muyu rushed in front, waving her sword. Sword qi shot out like cannonballs, while reincarnation power floated in her left hand, constantly killing the Crypt Fiends blocking the way. For a moment, the two of them continued to move forward, and the corpses of the Crypt Fiends behind them had already piled up.
