No words all night.

The dark forest is still bright the next day.

After a night of rest, Yu Ru's mental state was obviously much better than before.

Early in the morning, the two of them packed up their things and set off towards their destination.

At this moment, Xiao Shun suddenly heard some movement coming from the front.

Generally, during the day, ghosts cannot come out to move, and there are no beasts in the nearby forest, so it is mostly caused by humans.

Xiao Shun pressed Yu Ru's shoulder and reminded: "You are waiting here, I'll go over and see what's going on."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ru nodded: "Uncle, come and take a look. It seems that there is a lot of noise over there, and I don't know what's going on."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Shun's figure left a afterimage on the spot.

At the same time, it is several hundred meters away from here.

A group of ragged people were walking out of the woods with horror on their faces.

They looked very tired, but they didn't dare to stop their pace.

A thin man suddenly walked to the leader's side and spoke.

"The village chief, it's already daytime now, and those damn things shouldn't be able to continue chasing them."

The village chief turned his head and looked deep in the dense forest, then looked at the bright sky, and a trace of fear appeared in the turbid old eyes.

These people are actually villagers in Yongxing Village. The reason why they are so embarrassed is because they were attacked by powerful ghosts last night.

The village chief at that time led all the villagers to resist, but the enemy's strength was too strong, which made them pay an extremely heavy price.

Yongxing Village has always been in a corner and has never encountered any attacks from ghosts, but this time they did not escape the disaster.

If it weren't for the village chief seeing the opportunity at that time, he would probably not even have a chance to escape!

Looking back on the future, I will be like rootless duckweed, and the village chief and others feel extremely uncomfortable.

Without a place to settle down, their ending will undoubtedly be very miserable.

A total of seven or eight people escaped from the village this time. As for the other villagers, most of them have been poisoned by ghosts. After all, those damn guys will definitely not be ruthless when they slaughter the human village!

Thinking of this, the village chief couldn't help but feel sad.

He didn't expect that the village would disappear overnight. He could only blame the ghosts for being too hateful, which completely ruined their original life without conflict.

"well--"

A sad sigh came from his mouth. The village chief threw away the stick in his hand and then sat down on the ground dejectedly, allowing his sadness to spread in his body.

He was already old and had escaped for so long last night. Now he still had the strength to run there for a long time. Even if the ghosts appeared here, he did not plan to continue to escape.

Seeing the village chief sitting on the ground and gasping, someone frowned and said, "Village Chief, you..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, the village chief waved his hand.

"If you want to leave, hurry up, I can't walk anyway."

As for this, he paused slightly, and then said seriously again.

"I plan to return to the village tonight. After all, as the leader there, I will not allow the villagers to storm the wilderness like this."

As soon as he said this, the rest of the people were silent.

All those who escaped this time were strong men.

Except for the village chief, they all have their own families.

I abandoned the village last night and ignored it, which was actually an unspeakable difficulty.

After all, in front of powerful ghosts, their resistance cannot have any effect at all. Staying in the village will only increase casualties.

Generally, ghosts will choose to leave after slaughtering a village.

So when you go back to the village to collect the body tonight, you should not encounter too much danger.

Thinking of this, the rest of the people did not intend to continue to flee, but sat on the ground and rested like the village chief.

Immediately afterwards, grief cries completely occupied the woods.

A man doesn’t cry easily, but he hasn’t reached the sad place.

When I think back on my wife and children, these men are extremely sad.

As humans seeking to survive in the cracks in the underworld, this situation often happens.

After all, in the Dark Forest, the protagonist is always a ghost.

In the eyes of those powerful ghosts, humans are no different from ants. They are just toys for slaughtering and killing for fun.

Even so, these dire straits do not plan to leave this forest to live.

The reason is very simple. In this dangerous and unpredictable world, you cannot guarantee your own safety no matter where you go.

Leaving the woods, you can naturally avoid the murder of ghosts, but it will also attract the attention of ghost cultivators.

The methods of those ghost cultivators are not less than those of ghosts!

At this moment, a villager choked up and said, "Village Chief, what should we do next?"

What should I do next?

This issue is actually beyond the scope of the village chief's consideration.

He had only one idea now, which was to return to the village and help the villagers who died tragically collect the bodies.

As for what preparations to be made next, he was unwilling to think about it, nor did he plan to think about it.

The village chief lived for more than 300 years old and had long been used to separation from life and death.

But this time, he suffered a heavy blow.

Resisting the sadness in his heart, the village chief said bitterly: "You shouldn't have taken me away at that time. It would be better to let me live and die together with the village than to be displaced now."

He has never been suitable for a person who is greedy for life and fears death.

Even if the ghosts kill an ordinary old man like the village chief without any effort, he would still not give up the village and escape easily.

The incident happened suddenly last night. Before the village chief could fight to the death with a crutch with a ghost, the young men around him took him away.

Just as the village chief sighed, someone said righteously.

"You are the backbone of us. You can pass on the spirit of your village. If you are not even here, how can you survive in this dangerous place with the experience of ours?"

The village chief was undoubtedly an excellent person when he was young.

It is precisely because of his wise and magical martial arts that the village can exist for so many years.

Unfortunately, the age of an ordinary village in the Dark Forest is very short.

Someone once made a statistic that ordinary villages only exist for up to five hundred years, and some strong ones have a longer reproduction period.

Even so, there is no village here that can exist for more than a thousand years.

Facing everyone's eyes, the village chief seemed to have been aged for a few decades in an instant, and his face, which was full of powerlessness.

"I am old and cannot provide you with any shelter. As for the life experience that can be taught to you, I have already taught you all at the beginning."

After saying that, he did not forget to remind him: "This time I will let me go back to the village alone to bury those people. As for you, I should choose another place to start my life again."

Seeing that the village chief actually planned to go back alone, the rest of them were of course uneasy.

Besides, among the villagers who died tragically, their wives and sons were also included. How could the village chief, an old man, begs to do everything?

"Village Chief, you don't have to say much. I left the villagers alone before. We are already guilty. If we don't go back to pay tribute, we will feel really uneasy."

Hearing this, the village chief sighed: "Oh, although the ghosts will leave on their own after slaughtering a village, no one can guarantee that we will not be able to meet those damn guys after we go back. If one of them comes to wait for the rabbit, the entire army will be wiped out this time!"

Although the truth is this, no one intends to withdraw at this moment. After all, after experiencing the embarrassment of last night, everyone is now full of resentment towards the ghosts without any fear.

Someone snorted heavily: "Hmph, even if I die, I will go back and bury those poor people. Anyway, we have reached this point now. Instead of being too busy with Tibet, it is better to show courage to let the ghosts know how powerful we are."

Seeing that everyone was full of grief and anger, the village chief nodded.
