"Hmm, there really is."
His eyes flashed as he opened them. The result of his divination was just as the Elder of Huang Lian Village had said. In the future, there would be two months of heavy rain.
However, what worried Linley was that in the next two or three months, not only would there be torrential rain, but it would also be mixed rain that would affect mortals. This kind of rain was nothing to cultivators, but to mortals without any cultivation, it would be a natural disaster.
"Sigh, looks like I have to make a move this time."
After learning of the calamity that this rain would bring, Linley had already made up his mind. This time, he was going to act.
Lin Ray did not have any feelings for this place, but he had already seen most of it. If something happened here, it meant that he would have to leave and look for it again.
Lin Ray did not want this kind of thing to happen, and he did not want it to happen to him. As for the mixed rain, it was something that he could destroy with a wave of his hand.
After making his decision, a smile appeared on his face. He raised his hand and with a speed that mortals could not see, a huge amount of spiritual energy surged out and rushed into the sky.
Boom!
With a muffled sound, a faintly discernible light screen that only cultivators could see appeared above Huang Lian Village.
As for the muffled sound, unless one was a cultivator, no one would be able to hear it. Looking at the light screen above his head, a relieved expression appeared.
He believed that with the protection of this barrier, no matter how strong the natural disaster was, it would not be able to descend on Huang Lian Village.
After doing all this, Lin Ray calmed down once again. The cultivation in his body instantly receded like a tide, and the entire process was completed in an instant.
The people present did not notice the entire process, and they did not notice the difference in Huang Lian Village.
On the other side, when the Elder on the stage saw the commotion in the crowd, his expression became cold and majestic. "Are you all done?"
"The reason why I told you this is so that you can store food for two to three months to avoid the coming storm."
"Look, look at what you are doing right now. Ah? One by one. "
After hearing the Clan Elder's rebuke, the crowd lowered their heads, their necks pulled back, and their expressions changed. Silence filled the area.
Seeing that everyone was silent, the elder's expression softened and he continued, "This is a big matter for our village, so we have to get through it together."
As he spoke, he scanned the crowd with his gaze. Finally, his gaze fell upon Linley, who was in the middle of the crowd.
He fixed his eyes on Lin Ray, and a smile appeared on his face as he said, "That must be Lin Ray, the Lin family that just settled down in our village today!"
When the Clan Elder said this, everyone turned their heads and followed the Clan Elder's gaze to Lin Ray. Everyone's eyes were filled with curiosity. What kind of person was he? Why did he settle down in Huang Lian Village?
Receiving everyone's gazes, Lin Ray was stunned for a moment. His expression became slightly serious, and his eyes met the clan elder on the stage. He cupped his hands in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing, and said, "That's right, I … I am Lin Ray, and I just settled in Huanglian Village."
"Yes."
Seeing Lin Ray's attitude, the Clan Elder nodded, "Since you've settled in Huanglian Village, it means that you've become a member of Huanglian Village. I'll let Xiao Liuzi tell you some things. As for the hunt, you …"
"I'll go."
Before the Clan Elder could finish speaking, Lin Fan quickly interrupted, "I'll go with the hunting team this time. After all, I've settled in Huanglian Village, and there are some things that I need to do personally."
Lin Ray's words stunned everyone. Their original curiosity disappeared and was replaced with admiration and acknowledgment.
"Yes, good. I originally wanted to let Xiao Liuzi and the others help you. After all, it's your first time in Huanglian Village, so …"
"However, since you've said so, I'll respect your decision."
As he spoke, his gaze landed on Xiao Liuzi, who was beside Lin Ray, "Xiao Liuzi, I'll leave Lin Ray's safety to you. After all, it's his first time. Remember, you must bring Lin Ray back safely."
"I know."
"Uh …"
Xiao Liuzi obviously didn't expect the Clan Elder's order, but he couldn't say anything about it. In the end, he could only choose to agree. "Yes, I understand."
"Sigh!"
Listening to the conversation between Xiao Liuzi and the Clan Elder, Lin Ray shook his head and sighed without saying anything. However, Lin Ray felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart. After all, if it were someone else, they wouldn't care so much.
If the Cultivation World could be like Huanglian Village, how beautiful would the world be? Lin Ray didn't dare to imagine this, but he knew that it was impossible. Even if the sky was broken and the Dao collapsed, this kind of thing wouldn't happen.
After all, the law of the Cultivation World had always been like this since ancient times. The weak were prey to the strong, the survival of the fittest, and the strong were respected. So …
Time passed little by little. The Clan Elder arranged for Lin Ray to wait and said some unimportant things.
"Okay, that's all I've said. I hope everyone can have a perfect hunt and return safely."
"Yes, we'll definitely remember."
In the next moment, the hunting team began to move out. Those who couldn't wait for a long time had already walked out of the village.
Everyone knew that there would be heavy rain in the next two months. It would be very difficult to go out. Moreover, there were children and elders at home who had high requirements for food. So, they couldn't wait any longer.
"Husband …"
In the crowd, Lin Ray, who was walking out with the crowd, suddenly heard his wife's voice. He immediately turned his head to look.
He saw that Ying and Bing were not far away, looking at them with nervous expressions. He looked at them with a relieved expression and transmitted his voice, "I won't be here for a period of time. You two look after the house. As for the rain … I've already set up a barrier. If you think it's too troublesome, just make it disappear."
"Remember, Huanglian Village is our home now. Don't let anything happen to it."
"En, husband, don't worry. We'll definitely guard this place well!" Hearing Lin Ray's instructions, the two women nodded heavily in response.
"En, that's good."
"I'm leaving. Wait for your husband to bring back prey for you two!" After saying that, he waved his hand as a farewell. He turned around and left the village with the crowd without looking back, embarking on the hunting road.
… … …
On the mountain road, a group of people walked majestically. When they were tired, they would stop to drink water and eat some dry food to replenish their strength. Then, they would continue on their journey.
During this period of time, Lin Ray also learned about the destination of this trip from Little Liuzi.
Yunxi Mountain Range. Although it was called a mountain range, it was not a mountain range in the eyes of cultivators. Although there were demonic beasts in this mountain range, the quality of the demonic beasts was not good. Generally, mortals could not deal with them.
Of course, there would also be some powerful demonic beasts when they were leaving. In the face of such things, the solution for mortals was to escape. Only by escaping could they have a slim chance of survival.
People would die when they left, but this kind of thing generally did not happen. But if it happened, it would be a world-destroying trouble.
To Linley, that sort of world-destroying trouble they were talking about was nothing more than a drizzle. Perhaps he would be able to resolve it with a puff of his breath.
Lin Ray understood this, but he was not moved by it. He did not think about it now. What he wanted to do was to go home and report to his wife, who was waiting for him at home.
The group walked for a day and finally arrived at the entrance of Yunxi Mountain Range. Yunxi Mountain Range was connected by mountains. Its entrance was like the mouth of a lion, which made people's hair stand on end.
Lin Ray and the group came to the entrance of Yunxi Mountain Range and stopped. At this time, a person in charge came out. "We have arrived at Yunxi Mountain Range. Let's start to split up. After that, we will enter Yunxi Mountain Range to hunt."
"However, this time, the hunting time may be longer. After all, we will not be able to come here for the next two or three months. So … this time, the hunting time will be changed from one day to seven days. After seven days, everyone will gather here."
"Understood, let's start to split up!"
After the order was given, the group did not say anything else and started to search.
"Let's go, let's go together. It will be safer this way."
"Old Chai, let's go. Just like last time, let's go together …"
At this moment, everyone was in high spirits. However, they ignored Lin Ray's existence. However, there was one person who did not leave. Even when others called for him, he did not leave Lin Ray.
Xiao Liuzi. That's right, it was Xiao Liuzi. At this moment, Xiao Liuzi was waiting beside Lin Ray. Seeing that everyone was assigned to their own group, Xiao Liuzi looked envious and troubled.
Lin Ray saw the changes in Xiao Liuzi's expression. Lin Ray pursed his lips and asked, "Why don't you go?"
"Me?"
Xiao Liuzi turned to look at Lin Ray. After hesitating for a moment, he replied, "I promised the elders that I would follow you. As a person, I must keep my word. Although I am not educated and am a boor, my father told me this when he was alive."
"Keep your word!"
Hearing this, Lin Ray looked at Xiao Liuzi with a different expression. "Your father was good to you. What he taught you will benefit you for the rest of your life."
Saying this, Lin Ray looked up and saw that everyone had already split up into groups. He turned to Xiao Liuzi and said, "Let's go. They have already split up into groups. Staying here will only be a waste of time."
"Ah? Just the two of us? "
Xiao Liuzi was a little surprised. He never thought that Lin Ray would be so decisive and ruthless. Only the two of them would enter Yunxi Mountain Range. Even an experienced hunter would not dare to let two people enter Yunxi Mountain Range.
"Let's go. Come back early."
Without replying to Xiao Liuzi, he turned around and ignored the others. He walked towards the entrance of Yunxi Mountain Range alone.
"Eh? Wait for me!"
Xiao Liuzi wanted to say something, but he saw that Lin Ray had already left alone. This time, Xiao Liuzi did not know what to say and immediately left. He was afraid that Lin Ray would be ignorant and accidentally enter the territory of some powerful monsters after entering Yunxi Mountain Range.
Although the Cloud Creek Mountain Range usually didn't have them, no one dared to guarantee that there would be all of them.
"Brother Zhong, are … are we just going to let them go?"
"Yes, Brother Zhong. Before we came out, the elders had specially instructed us to ensure Lin Ray's safety. Now that the two of them have left, what if something happens, then …"
"Yes, Brother Zhong. Why don't we go and take a look? If something happens …"
Looking at the worried expressions on everyone's faces, the leader named Brother Zhong waved his hand and told them not to worry.
"Don't worry. With Xiao Liuzi following them, they should be fine. Besides, Xiao Liuzi has been here many times. He knows his limits."
As soon as this was said, the originally worried crowd shut their mouths. This was because for someone they were not familiar with, they still did not want to offend this person in charge.
"Alright, since they've left, let's go as well. Time is limited. Everyone should prioritize their own safety when hunting."
After saying that, everyone nodded and followed him into the Yunxi Mountain Range.
… Gugugu …
As they advanced, the two men walked in the forest. Strange sounds of birds could be heard. Occasionally, there would be roars of beasts.
However, the two men didn't seem to care about this at all. They didn't seem to be afraid at all. One of the men even looked excited.
"Lin Ray, look. This is the territory of the weaker Demonic Beasts. I can still guarantee your safety here."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the depths ahead. "Up ahead is the place where the Demonic Beasts are strong. If I go there, I …"
"Hey, where are you going?"
At this time, Lin Ray said and strode toward the direction that Xiao Liuzi pointed. He didn't seem to care about the danger that Xiao Liuzi mentioned.
As for Xiao Liuzi, who was explaining the dangers, when he saw Lin Ray walking toward the direction that he pointed, he became anxious.
Just like what he said, if he entered that area, he was afraid that he didn't have the ability to protect Lin Ray.
However, Lin Ray's speed was a little too fast. Seeing that Lin Ray was about to disappear from his sight, Xiao Liuzi didn't stop and quickly chased after him.
"Ah, it's dangerous!"
At this moment, Lin Ray, who was walking in front, looked into the depths of the dense forest and a strange feeling emerged. "I'm afraid this is for the Demonic Beasts here!"
"Aowu, aowu …"
A series of beast roars came from the front. Xiao Liuzi, who was behind Lin Ray, was stunned. He anxiously stretched out his hand and tried to grab Lin Ray to stop him from moving forward.
However, as soon as his hand touched Lin Ray, he found that there was nothing in his hand. Lin Ray had naturally appeared two meters away from him.
"Don't go any further, it's dangerous ahead!"
Lin Ray acted as if he hadn't heard the voice behind him and continued walking. Xiao Liuzi was completely speechless.
"Aowu!"
Bang!
A muffled explosion sounded out as a black blur streaked past. Dust flew into the air, rocks exploded, and trees in the surroundings collapsed. Seeing this, Xiao Liuzi was startled, and his heart thumped as a bad feeling welled up in his heart.
"Aowu!"
A beast's roar came from the front, and Xiao Liuzi's face instantly paled. He knew that something that he didn't want to encounter had come.
"Retreat!"
He didn't stop. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately came back to his senses. Roaring loudly at Linley, he quickly appeared in front of Linley, his arms raised, a look of vigilance on his face as he stared at this primordial beast before him.
"Hurry … hurry up and leave this place! Don't look back!"
