The sun was setting in the west, and just as the sun was about to set, Liu Xu and her group finally arrived at a small town.

The atmosphere in this small town was very strange.

"Miss …" The face of Jing Xin, who was holding the cart, immediately sank as he warned Liu Xu, who was in the carriage behind him.

"Mm, be careful."

The beast carriage drove all the way to the center of the town. They saw that the biggest inn in front of them was about to close its doors.

"Ai!" and so on... Don't close the door yet! " Jing Xin quickly said.

The waiter who was about to close the door was stunned for a moment. When he turned around and saw Jing Xin driving, he quickly said, "Hey! Oh, my ancestors! Why are all of you still so relaxed?! Hurry up and come over! "If you're too late, it'll be too late!"

Stunned, Jing Xin quickly increased the speed of the beast carriage and drove it all the way to the entrance of the inn, his face full of questions, "Excuse me, what happened here?" "You just said it too late, what does that mean?"

"You don't know?" The attendant was startled for a moment before glancing at the carriage behind Jing Xin with an expression of disbelief. "You all don't know what kind of place this is, and yet you dare to barge in randomly?!"

"We …" Just as Jing Xin was about to explain, the waiter suddenly reacted and anxiously said, "Quickly, don't say so much! The sun was about to set! If you want to know about this matter, quickly get off the carriage and follow me into the shop. Otherwise, I'll close my doors! I don't care what you all will encounter at that time! "

"Miss …" With a slight frown, Jing Xin looked at the carriage behind him.

"Hmm? What happened? " Liu Yunqi, who was sleeping soundly on Liu Xu's lap, was awakened by the noise outside the car. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and got up.

"Little Qi, I'm so sorry, did you wake up?" Liu Xu said gently.

He looked at Liu Xu in confusion and didn't understand why she was looking at him like that. Seeing the car stop, Liu Yunqi looked out of the window curiously. "Where are we?"

While she was guessing in her mind what kind of place this was, Liu Xu held his hand and smiled, "Since you're awake, then let's get out of the car and take a look together."

Seeing Liu Xu and Liu Yunqi slowly alight from the carriage, it seemed that they were about to jump up and down from their perilous situation. "Oh wow, what are you guys …" "It's a bit faster, ah! Slow down, it's going to get dark soon!"

"What's going on?!" Right at that moment, the owner angrily walked out of the shop. "What happened to you?!" [Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents] [Next Chapter]

"This... Boss, you can't blame me for this! It's those people over there! "They didn't know and still barged in. They're still here taking their time …" The waiter said with a wronged expression.

Immediately, the owner's frown deepened as he glared at the waiter. "Why aren't you going?!"

"Yes yes yes, boss." The waiter nodded and waved at Jing Xin. "Come with me!" "Don't dawdle any longer!"

After entering the inn, she looked around and immediately frowned.

He saw that the main hall of the inn and the dining room where the food was served were already filled with people. There were well-dressed travelers, commoners, and the poor people with tattered clothes.

At this moment, their eyes were filled with worry and fear. The once spacious hall was now completely packed with them. Other than a single corridor, there was almost no other space left in the hall.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Liu Yunqi, who was still drowsy, immediately woke up. Looking at the people crowded in the inn, his eyes were full of curiosity.

With a frown, Liu Xu looked at the inn owner who walked over after locking the door, "Boss, can you explain what's going on?"

"Little girls, you have come to the wrong place. When it is completely dark, the Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolves will attack our town. And now that the sky is almost dark, even if you want to leave, you won't be able to. " The owner said.

"Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolf?!" Hadn't the Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolf never entered deep into the forest before?! There are mountains all around here, why are they here? " Liu Xu's eyebrows immediately tightened up.

The Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolf was a social magical beast that lived on the plains. It was extremely fierce. Even if it was a small tribe, even a rank 3 magical beast would not dare to provoke it.

In a small tribe, the average head wolf was no higher than a Class 2 Magical Beast. Their strength wasn't that strong, but the terrifying thing about them was that they hunted in groups.

Quantity could often make up for quality.

Thus, generally speaking, even magical beasts of a higher rank wouldn't dare to offend them.

Even though the Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolves were fierce, they would usually not enter the forest, as this would affect their group battles.

This time, the wolves had gone deep into the forest to attack this remote town, which was really hard to understand.

"Who knows? It was still fine a month ago, but soon after, people began to discover that the town was surrounded by Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolves.

At that time, the people in the town were all taken aback.

Because the Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolves hunted together, the mayor sent the strongest warriors in the town to investigate the situation. In the end, the man left and never returned.

This aroused the mayor's high level of vigilance. He sent the town's warriors to stand guard around the town day and night so that they could sound the alarm the moment they encountered any situation.

Ten days ago, the Blood-Thirsty Demonic Wolf suddenly attacked the town. Even if there was an alarm at that time, the people in the town wouldn't be able to take refuge in time. The people outside the town were instantly killed.

But even so, more than fifty townspeople and more than ten warriors had died that night. The entire town had been flooded with blood.

On the second day, the mayor sent people to ask the adventurers to eliminate the Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolves, but they were still unable to do anything about it. " The innkeeper said with a sad heart.

"How strong is the man who investigated the situation?" Liu Xu asked.

"I heard that the lord is a military general." The owner said.

Liu Xu's face immediately darkened. "Then why didn't you leave?"

"Who doesn't want to go? The next day, there were people trying to escape from the town, but the moment they left the town, they were eaten up as food by the Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolves.

Right now, no one in the town dared to go out. They could only hide in the center of the town and not go out.

I heard that not many people were able to charge out when the mayor sent out reinforcements. I wonder if the neighboring city lords received our call for help. The inn owner sighed and said.

"Gulp." "Gulp."

While the atmosphere was heavy, an indescribable sound rang out.

When they looked down, Liu Yunqi was looking at them awkwardly.

There was nothing he could do about it. He had not eaten since the bandits attacked at noon, so he was already hungry.

But seeing that they seemed to be talking about something important, he tried not to show it.

"Little Qi, you're hungry?" I'm really sorry, but even Big Sis didn't notice. " Feeling heartache, Liu Xu rubbed Liu Yunqi's head and asked, "Is there anything to eat?" Do you have a room? Is there hot water? "

"Because I've been trapped in this town for a few days, there's not much food left. But there were some rooms, only one room, but it was a special situation, so … "The price is …" The inn owner said hesitantly.

"Money isn't a problem. Prepare some food for us and help us clean our room. Do you have hot water?" Liu Xu waved her hand nonchalantly.

"Yes, there's hot water. I'll get someone to prepare some for you." The owner said.

"Prepare a hot water bath for us later." Liu Xu lowered her head and smelled Liu Yunqi's scent, then said with disdain.

Smelling her scent, Liu Yunqi looked strangely at Liu Xu and thought, "No smell, why are you looking at me with disdain?"

Seeing Liu Yunqi look at her, Liu Xu immediately understood what he meant. She rolled her eyes and said, "It's so hot at noon, you're sweating so much, don't you need a bath?"

Not long after that, Jing Xin came back. She frowned and looked at the crowded dining room, then whispered to Liu Xu who was sitting on the chair and talking to Liu Yunqi, "Miss, I found that there are a lot of strong people in the tavern next door."

"Mm, got it." Liu Xu nodded and told Jing Xin what she had heard.

Jing Xin's expression immediately changed. "That young miss, we can't stay any longer in this place. Even the warriors have left. Those people, even if we include them, we won't be able to stop them."

"Right." Liu Xu nodded and said, "At night, we can act according to the circumstances. If possible, we can help them out. If that's not possible, we can only run."

Liu Xu and Jing Xin were discussing about what happened tonight. The waiter brought the food over, and Liu Yunqi who was already starving couldn't stand it anymore, so she picked up the bread on the table and ate it in one bite.

"Pah pah pah …"

Immediately, an unusual taste spread from his mouth, and even his tongue was bitter.

He quickly spat out the food in his mouth and grumbled in his heart, "What is that thing?!" Could it be poison? How unlucky! "

Immediately, the two girls' gazes were attracted over. They all frowned when they saw Liu Yunqi throw the bread back onto the plate with a bitter expression.

Jing Xin picked up the bread, and after sniffing it a few times, he frowned.

The bread was dry and hard, but there was also a rancid taste to it. It was obvious that it had been aged for quite some time.

"What's going on? Will you just bring this up for people to eat? " Mirror frowned and put the bread back on the plate.

"Little Qi, are you feeling bad?" Wash your mouth first. " Liu Xu picked up the cup of water on the table worriedly and fed Liu Yunqi some water to let him rinse his mouth.

"Ugh …" This... We've been trapped in the town for half a month and we can't go out to purchase ingredients, nor can we make fresh food. This is the best food in our shop, so please take care of it. " The waiter said apologetically.

Liu Xu frowned, then rubbed Liu Yunqi's head and said gently, "It's fine, we'll eat other things in the room later."

Liu Yunqi didn't understand what she said, but all the poor people around them who were starving understood.

Hearing Liu Xu say that there was food, the poor people all looked at her hopefully, hoping to share some of it with them.

Liu Xu and Jing Xin, however, turned a blind eye. What a joke, they still had a long way to go. Even if they didn't have enough to eat, how could they divide it up?

At this time, a girl with tattered clothes and a skinny face walked over. She looked at Liu Yunqi and said, "Can …" Can I have some bread? I haven't eaten in a day. "

Liu Yunqi, who was disgusted by the smell, was momentarily stunned, then looked at her in confusion.

Seeing the little girl staring at something on the table, he followed her gaze and saw that she was staring at the two pieces of bread on his plate.

"Eh? Is there anyone else who wants to eat this kind of thing? "

Liu Yunqi frowned, then tentatively handed the bread he bit in front of her to the little girl.

The little girl's face immediately lit up. She took the bread and smiled sweetly at Liu Yunqi. "Thank you …"

"Little Qi, you're so obedient, you've learned how to help others at such a young age." Liu Xu was very satisfied with Liu Yunqi's unintentional actions.

The little girl was about to leave when the surrounding men saw that the little girl had gotten her bread. They looked at each other, eager to give it a try.

Noticing all this, Liu Xu said to the little girl who was preparing to leave, "Wait."

Turning back timidly to look at Liu Xu, the little girl tightly grasped the bread in her hand, afraid that it would be snatched back.

Liu Xu smiled faintly, then handed the rest of the bread to her and said, "Take it and share."

Then, he took Liu Yunqi upstairs. Those men saw Liu Xu and the others leave, so they started to fight with the little girl over the bread. The little girl was still too weak, even if she fought with all her might, she could only keep a small part of her body from being taken away.

The men fought over the rest of the loot.

Fortunately, Liu Xu gave all the bread to the little girl. With food, the men wouldn't have to take all the bread away, otherwise she wouldn't have anything left.
