The creature was extremely ferocious, and a special weapon was required to hunt it down. Many lives had been taken before one could even be caught. Furthermore, with such a barren environment, people could no longer plant crops as the weeds would have prevented it. Thus, there was completely no grains available, and the villagers could only struggle to survive by hunting for their food.
To make matters worse, there was a blood rainfall once every ten days in this realm. The rain was highly corrosive to the extent it could destroy normal houses and even some of the caves. Only those houses protected by wizardry barriers were protected. Nonetheless, that was not their only threat. There was a flood of countless monstrous blood bats that sucked the blood from any living things in just a blink of an eye.
The Zhuiri clan was once a relatively good clan; however, there were only 12 members left since the misfortune. It was only when they gave shelter to a vagrant that they found out that not all the cities have waned. Nine new cities were created in recent years, and all of the people there were living normal lives.
Such cities were considered a paradise to the people who suffered every day. Therefore, the members of the Zhuiri clan decided to move to Luo Hua City, which was nearest to their clan. Their clan was about 600 miles away from Luo Hua City, and 12 of them made it after six days of travel. Unfortunately, they found out that they were required to pay spiritual stones to enter the city; the only other acceptable scenario was if they possessed a special ability. Otherwise, there was no way for them to enter the city.
As a result, hunting monsters with spiritual stones in their body was their only option. Fortunately, they had all the necessary equipment, and they knew there was a Chinese Alligator around Luo Hua City since they were very experienced in hunting. After searching for three days, they finally found a Chinese Alligator. Unfortunately, all of them almost died!
Nevertheless, since Gu Xijiu got all the information she wanted, she lifted her hand and tossed the spiritual stone to the leader. “Here you go.” The leader could not believe it when he got the stone; after all, the information Gu Xijiu wanted was not a valuable secret. He even had his doubts about whether or not Gu Xijiu would keep her promise as he believed that she might not give him the spiritual stone even after he told them the truth. To his surprise… They received a second chance!
“Dear benefactor, are you going to Luo Hua City? Why not follow us? One spiritual stone is enough for 20 people to enter the city.”
Gu Xijiu shook her head and added, “Indeed, we want to enter the city. However, there are 138 of us.” She then briefly told them about her tribe.
The leader remained silent at first, but then turned around and had a discussion with his junior apprentices. In the end, they proposed, “Benefactors, we are willing to go back to your village and bring all your people to Luo Hua city!”
Although the Kung Fu that the 12 of them possessed were no match for Di Fuyi and Gu Xijiu, they were much better than the villagers Gu Xijiu wanted to save. Besides that, they have been living outside the forest and knew many ways to protect themselves. It was good insurance for the kids and old folks if they could be their guardians. Hence, Gu Xijiu agreed to the proposal.
