"Because, as long as he returns, he will bring people to flatten your village. This is called letting the tiger return to the mountain! And if we kill all of them here, at least it will delay them from finding us. We can use this opportunity to find a way out! "Zhao Yuande explained slowly.
"I see. Then are we going to give up this village and return to a wandering life?" Shi Chongtian turned to look at his parents, then at his brother who had been a little dispirited. He might have been frightened by such a cruel battle.
"Yes, he is right. You have to find a new place to build your village!" The door of the High Priest's house slowly opened, and the High Priest walked out. He nodded at Zhao Yuande, then looked at the crowd and said, "Who is willing to stay? I will hold these demons back so that our descendants can safely evacuate!"
"Me! My family has all been killed by those demons. I want to stay and fight to the death with them! "
"I want to fight them to the death too!"
"Count me in!"
"…"
Soon, forty to fifty strong warriors had gathered. They were all unafraid of death, and their faces were filled with determination.
Perhaps it was for revenge, or perhaps it was to buy time for their descendants, but they were all great and worthy of respect!
Zhao Yuande also wanted to stay, but the High Priest shook his head and refused.
"Help me bring them to a safe place!" "I know you won't be staying here for long, but I hope you can help me protect them for a while!" The High Priest said solemnly, "I know you won't be here for long, but I hope you can help me protect them for a while!"
"Don't worry!" Zhao Yuande nodded, then turned and walked towards the stone tribesmen who were about to migrate.
"The High Priest handed you all to me, so I have to be responsible for you all! Now listen to me. I don't want any of the items, just the weapons! "Zhao Yuande ordered.
Everyone accepted Zhao Yuande's leadership without hesitation. In the battle just now, Zhao Yuande's ability had already convinced them wholeheartedly!
There were more than three hundred people in the village. One hundred of them were elderly and children, and one hundred of them were women. There were only about one hundred real warriors. More than ten of them had died in the battle just now, and forty to fifty of them were left. Now, there were only about forty warriors left in the migration team. Under the leadership of Zhao Yuande, they walked towards the depths of the mountains under the cover of night.
Fortunately, these warriors had been hunting in this forest all year round and were very familiar with the terrain. By dawn, they had already traveled hundreds of miles.
"Shaman! The last time I was hunting, I was chased by a Vicious Beast. I had nowhere else to go, so I entered a valley. There were a lot of wild fruits in the valley, and there was also a cave. We can temporarily take refuge there! Then, we'll send out soldiers to look for a place where we can build our stronghold. " Shi Chongtian's father was called Shi Fang. Although his fighting ability was not as good as his wife's, he was very smart.
"Alright! We'll go to the place you mentioned first. You lead the way! " Zhao Yuande felt that this was a good idea. There were so many elderly and children. Although they were stronger than ordinary people outside, after a few hundred miles, they were still tired and gasping for breath.
The place Shi Fang mentioned was not far away. It was only about a hundred miles away from here. It was halfway up a huge mountain, covered by countless dense weeds and trees. It was a good place to take refuge.
There was a long canyon, and after entering, there was a small valley, about the size of a football field.
There were some wild peach trees here, and a group of golden monkeys were guarding here.
Zhao Yuande and the others used a lot of strength to kill these monkeys. They were really helpless. In order to survive, they had no other choice.
There was a small stream in the valley. The stream flowed towards the cave, so there was no need to worry about the lack of water. The stream turned around in the cave, and finally disappeared into a crack in the rock, becoming the source of the underground water.
"This cave is not small. It can fit all of us." Zhao Yuande patrolled the cave and felt that the environment was not bad. "Chongtian, take your brother and dig more caves in the cave. We can use them to store food! Uncle Shi Fang, find some women to cut down the weeds in the valley, and then dry them in the sun. Temporarily lay them in the cave to prevent moisture. Uncle Shi Man, take some people out to hunt. But you must be careful. If you encounter demons, stay far away from them. Don't let them follow you! "
Zhao Yuande issued orders again and again, and everyone obeyed him.
Soon, a day had passed. Zhao Yuande suddenly felt a little tired.
At this moment, he was listening to Shi Fang's report. He was actually complaining that the women were not obedient, that his wife was jealous, and that the weeds were not completely dried during the day …
"Alright, Uncle Shi Fang. These are not the problem. The problem is that tonight is very cold. How are these children and the elderly going to survive?" Zhao Yuande waved his hand. He felt a headache.
"We can make a fire and let everyone warm up." Shi Fang answered without thinking.
"Make a fire in the valley? Do you want to expose yourself early? If that's the case, what's the point of us escaping here? "Zhao Yuande frowned.
"How about we make a fire in the cave?" Shi Fang asked tentatively.
"We will be choked to death before we freeze to death!" Zhao Yuande shook his head. He did not know what Shi Fang was thinking.
"Then what should we do?" Shi Fang scratched his head.
"Sigh! I'm worried! "Zhao Yuande looked at the setting sun and frowned.
"Over there … Isn't that the direction of our village? Why is it on fire! "Shi Fang suddenly stopped in the distance. A thick cloud of smoke rose.
"Come, let's go to the top of the mountain to take a look!" Zhao Yuande's body was like an agile ape. He rushed to the top of the mountain in a few leaps. As far as the eye could see, he saw the flames of the village soaring into the sky. Even from a few hundred miles away, he could feel the devastation.
"Master Priest and the others … They might have died in the battle!" Shi Fang's lips trembled. He directly fell to the ground like a deflated balloon.
"Master Priest, my brothers … I will avenge you!" Shi Man gripped the giant axe in his hand and bit his lips. Blood gushed out of his mouth.
"Alright! They might have found out that Master Priest and the others only have so many people. They bought us some time, and we have hunted quite a lot of prey today. We better not walk out of this valley for ten days! Besides, no one can stay in the valley during the day. All of you should hide in the caves. "Zhao Yuande suddenly felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.
He was confused. 'Did I come to Emperor NvWa's Palace for the trial? Why would I encounter something like this? Could this be a trial for me? 'Where did the other five-thousand people go?'
Zhao Yuande couldn't figure it out. Therefore, he decided not to think about it. He wanted to do what he should do and walk the path he should walk.
Suddenly, he thought of another question. 'Why aren't these Huaxu Family powerful beings suppressed? Why are they able to freely release their spiritual powers, while I can't?'
If he could use his spiritual power, he could send all these stone people into the Nirvana World. Then, he wouldn't be as busy as he was right now.
However, this was just a fantasy. As his spiritual power was suppressed, he could only try his best to protect these stone people.
The fire burned for a day and a night, and they hid in the caves for a day and a night. During this time, Zhao Yuande went back to investigate. As he expected, he found a large number of Huaxu Family people in black robes searching outside. Powerful beings flew across the sky from time to time, but none of them discovered the secret of the valley.
