Chapter 340 Reasons
Chapter 340 Reasons
Everyone knew perfectly well why the woman was stunned.
Even she herself had eaten it.
Perhaps it wasn't voluntary, but once you've eaten it, you've eaten it.
If they didn't have cows...
If they hadn't run into that military base...
If they run out of supplies...
So how should they choose?
Liang Hong remained slumped on the ground, her hand gripping the sword hilt still trembling. Blood dripped down the blade, staining a small patch of dark red on the bluestone slab.
She looked up at the woman who didn't know how to start the conversation.
Perhaps only she can understand her pain!
She walked over and gently embraced the woman who had collapsed to the ground.
The woman's silent sobs completely shattered her psychological defenses.
She was terrified.
It's not just the fear of being eaten, but the fear of being eaten at any moment.
She had thought about understanding her own life countless times, but gave up countless times.
Because no one will pity a corpse; they will only enjoy the food.
"I...I..."
She broke down crying, desperately wanting someone to end her life.
Xu Si shifted his gaze from her face.
In the end times, there are so many pitiful people; who isn't one of them?
"Ya Ya, those people are yours!" Xu Si ordered Ya Ya, who was preening her feathers in the ancestral hall.
"quack……"
The crows accepted the order and left, their three heads turning back and forth in mid-air, clearly quite satisfied with the task. Before leaving, they didn't forget to glance at their master.
Fu Xiaojian, who was standing to the side, paused for a moment but did not stop him.
The group of people below the cliff were gathered in the same spot. The third leader was squatting on a piece of rubble, his bald head glistening in the morning light.
He would occasionally look up at the cliff above, his eyes filled with both trepidation and anticipation.
That flying ship was far beyond comprehension; he was betting on his own wisdom in stopping in time.
"Third Master, are we just going to wait like this?" The young man with the pointed face and monkey-like features leaned closer and asked in a low voice.
"What if a fight breaks out up there, then we..."
"A fight?" the bald man scoffed.
"It's perfect timing for a fight. Didn't you see how big that ship is? The skills of the eldest, second, fourth, and fifth brothers are nothing compared to what they can do."
He stood up, dusted himself off, and glanced at the twenty or so people behind him.
Although he is ranked third, the eldest and second eldest are inseparable.
In addition to the threat of poisoning from the second brother, he usually led the others to do most of the dirty and hard work.
This infuriated the fire mage.
He was, after all, a distinguished fire mage.
Forget about enjoying the company of women on both sides, he certainly wouldn't get the chance to lead a robbery.
"Listen up, everyone. Whoever comes down here, throw away your weapons, put your hands behind your head, and squat in a row. Anyone who dares to move is the first one I'll kill."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the sound of wings flapping came from above.
The crows swooped down, their three heads and six eyes all fixed on the group of people, their gazes...
How to put it? It's like watching a group of prey waiting to be slaughtered, or a plate of food waiting to be chosen.
"Holy crap! That's weird!"
Someone cried out in alarm and instinctively reached for their crossbow.
"Don't move!" The bald man slapped the crossbow bolt away and squatted down with his hands behind his head.
"Don't move!"
The crow circled once in mid-air, somewhat puzzled. What was going on?
Is it because he's not villainous enough?
It landed on a high rock, and its three heads took turns looking at the group of people, and then—opened their mouths.
"Gagagagagagagagagaga—"
A series of piercing screams echoed below the cliff, and the tone... sounded like laughter no matter how you looked at it.
The bald man squatted on the ground, cold sweat streaming down his face.
He could sense that the aura emanating from this strange creature was at least level three or higher.
If it really comes down to a fight, this fire mage probably won't have any advantage whatsoever.
We can only hope that his guess is right, and that the strange creature is the convoy's pet.
Otherwise, there's no way to explain why it keeps appearing one after another without taking action against the convoy.
When they looked at the crows, the crows' three heads and six eyes were also staring intently at the group of humans who were crouching in a row with their hands behind their heads.
DouDou always taught it not to attack friendly humans.
It had always done this, and it even saved Ivan along the way.
The sensible nature of the group in front of him plunged Ya Ya into an unprecedented state of confusion.
That's completely wrong.
According to the script, shouldn't it be a chase, several rounds of fighting, and finally, he returns triumphantly with his spoils to report back?
It's ready to make a big splash.
The results of it?
This group of people is even more honest and docile than the cow at DouDou's feet.
"Caw?" The crows cried tentatively, and all three of their heads tilted to the left at the same time.
The bald man squatted on the ground, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the strange head tilting motion, and his heart nearly jumped out of his throat.
He tried desperately to recall the dogs he had ever seen—what did it mean when a dog tilted its head?
Curiosity? Friendliness? Or are they getting ready to eat?
"Don't move...don't move at all..." he whispered, his body practically pressed against the ground.
The crow tilted its head again, this time all three heads tilted to the right at the same time.
It thought for a moment, then jumped off the rock and strolled toward the group of people.
With each step they took, the hearts of those twenty-odd people skipped a beat.
When they reached the bald man, the head on the left sniffed him, the head on the right stared at his bald head, and the head in the middle turned to look up at the cliff, as if waiting for some instructions.
The bald man could feel that strange, cold breath spraying on his face.
His fireball was about to be launched in response.
"My Lord...we mean no harm..." he said with difficulty, his voice so hoarse that he could hardly recognize himself. He didn't even know if he was saying it correctly.
Time passed in an eerie silence.
Finally, a faint whooshing sound came from above the cliff, and Xu Si descended on his sword.
Ya Ya stood to the side, feeling somewhat guilty, not daring to look Xu Si in the eye.
"You little rascal, you're actually starting to understand human nature!" Xu Si rarely kicked Ya Ya.
The reason he didn't do it himself wasn't because he was soft-hearted.
Rather, she didn't want to have too much human blood on her hands when facing her younger sister.
The crows timidly made way for Xu Si so that he could see what was happening.
The twenty-odd people in front of them were almost all lying on the ground, looking at the young man who had fallen from the sky with shock in their eyes.
The bald man then realized that the strange creature was indeed a pet kept by the caravan.
He couldn't help but wonder what kind of configuration this racing team had.
The bizarre can be manipulated at will.
Xu Si frowned. Only one of the people in front of him was a Sequence 2; the rest were ordinary people.
His gaze finally settled on the reflective head.
The bald man felt that gaze fall on him, and the hairs on his body stood on end. That gaze was like a guillotine, and he could feel that his life was hanging by a thread.
He glanced up discreetly and saw a tall, slender figure with a hesitant look in his eyes. There was no energy fluctuation around him, yet he dared not even breathe too hard.
"Are you the leader?" Xu Si asked, his voice as calm as if he were asking about the weather.
"Yes... oh no no..." The bald man stammered.
"I'm just a gofer, not the leader. The leader is above me..."
"Those guys up there are already dead," Xu Si said.
Baldy's heart sank to the bottom.
He suddenly looked up and met those deep, dark eyes. There was no murderous intent or pity in those eyes, only a pure, scrutinizing calm.
It's like judging whether an item still has any value.
The bald man suddenly realized that the person in front of him was far more terrifying than the three-headed monster.
"I don't need to say much about what you've done. My instruction is to kill you all. I'll give you a chance to live."
"But you have to give me a reason not to kill you!" Xu Si said.
The people kneeling before him were all stunned.
They naturally understood what Xu Si was talking about.
