Chapter 828: Don't go to the northwest mountains

The journey westward reached its ninth day!

Robb and his group had been surrounded by rain all along the way. There were heavy downpours, drizzles, and light showers like fine threads. If it weren't for magic, it would have been impossible to endure nine days in such a rainforest. Robb was now deeply experiencing the hardships that humans had faced when they developed the rainforest.

At noon that day, the group arrived at a small Maya village hidden deep in the jungle. The village appeared inconspicuous and peaceful, but now it lay in ruins.

All the thatched houses in the village had been burned, not by ordinary fire because it had been raining continuously, making it difficult for fire to burn anything. The village had been destroyed by fire magic, and even residual particles of fire magic lingered in the air, not completely dissipated.

The ground was littered with corpses—men, women, the elderly, and children. In the eyes of the People of Norma, the Maya people had no rights. They were considered inferior to livestock, so when they killed the Maya people, they showed no mercy. Regardless of age, everyone fell to their blades without any psychological burden.

When the scout eagle warriors led Robb and his group to this village, their faces were filled with anger, and their eyes burned with fury. Robb sighed lightly, waved his hand, and countless white feathers descended from the sky, scattering all around.

Soon, the lifeless Maya people began to rise from the ground.

However, it took even longer to find out what had happened to them.

White Deer turned to Robb and said, "Yesterday, before sunset, the People of Norma arrived here and discovered this Maya village. The eagle warriors in the village clashed with the People of Norma to protect the village, and as a result, the People of Norma killed them all. Men, women, children, not a single one was spared."

Robb shook his head. "How cruel!"

After a brief pause, White Deer turned around and said to Robb, "Is that all? Don't you want to ask about the number of People of Norma or something?"

White Deer: "..."

She had never seen Robb's fighting strength, so it wasn't surprising that she had such doubts. Since Robb didn't ask, she took the initiative to speak up, "The Norma expedition team has over five hundred people in total. They are a strong force. However, our group only has a few dozen people. If we engage them head-on, we won't stand a chance. The Maya townsmen are advising us to run away quickly. They are also leaving this place and dare not stay here any longer. They want to seek refuge in a larger tribe."

"Oh!" Robb chuckled. "Tell them to head east for nine days and join the Gada tribe."

White Deer nodded and conveyed Robb's words. However, she still had some doubts about Robb's lack of concern.

At this moment, an old sorcerer from the village approached and said something to Robb in a rapid manner.

White Deer said, "He says that the People of Norma went towards the northwest mountains. He says that we are good people, so he advises us not to follow the People of Norma in the northwest direction, especially not to enter the mountains. It is very dangerous there, and anyone who goes in will meet a dead end."

Robb smiled. "You continue translating, I'll have a good chat with him."
