Flame clouds fell from the sky, and Ao Xin and others walked out of it.
They did not interfere in the battle of the Shendu branch. Although there were many zombies here, they could still hold on. Helping them now would slow down their strength improvement.
"Brother! Sister! Sister-in-law!"
Ao Xin came down and before he could say anything, he heard the little yellow-haired boy's shout.
Wei Mingxuan is fighting side by side with Xiao Sa at this moment. Although he is just an ordinary animal species, with the cooperation of Xiao Sa, he can also block a martial corpse.
When he saw Ao Xin and Ao Chen, he was not as reserved as Luo Qingyan, and called them "big brother and big sister" happily.
"Woof!"
Even little Sa was wagging his tail excitedly as if he saw a relative.
Xiaobai came to Luo Qingyan and happily hugged her. He was simple-minded and did what he thought, which made Luo Qingyan's face blush.
This woman has always been decisive in killing, and rarely shows such a shy attitude.
But she did not struggle. She knew that only by holding Xiaobai's heart firmly could she get the status she wanted.
"Xiaobai, it's okay, Brother Xin is still watching."
She whispered in Xiaobai's ear, and Xiaobai put her down.
"Brother Xin, Shu Yue."
Looking at Liu Xiyao again, Xiaobai introduced: "This is Brother Xin's wife, just like Sister Yue!"
Liu Xiyao also took the initiative to introduce herself: "My name is Liu Xiyao."
"Sister Liu." The two women shook hands.
Although she didn't know Liu Xiyao's exact age, Liu Xiyao had a domineering demeanor and a strong aura of a strong woman, so she didn't feel uncomfortable calling her sister.
After shaking hands, she waved to Lin Ruoyu in the team. When the woman came over, she introduced Lin Ruoyu to Ao Chen and Liu Xiyao.
"Sister-in-law, Sister Liu, this is Lin Ruoyu, she is Xiaobai's wife just like me."
Xiaobai pouted and snorted, "That's my maid, not my wife!"
Lin Ruoyu ignored Xiaobai's exclusion and greeted Ao Chen and Liu Xiyao with a smile.
None of them were introverted and soon started chatting.
"Brother Xin, why are you here?"
Only then did she ask Ao Xin why he suddenly came here.
Ao Xin found a random excuse:
"This secret realm has the same topography as Blue Star, so I followed the Blood River here to verify it. Now it seems to be true."
"We found a military camp there, as well as a number of powerful weapons, which suggests there was human activity there in the past."
"I don't know what kind of material that barracks is made of, but it's extremely strong and the zombies can't break in. Now everyone in the Hundred Beasts Base relies on that barracks to fight the zombies."
Luo Qingyan said, "How about I take them eastward along the Blood River to reunite with the Beasts Headquarters?"
It would be much more comfortable to have a stronghold that could block the zombie attacks. They have to be on guard against zombie attacks all the time these days.
This is very mentally draining.
Moreover, if we can reunite with our headquarters and find a way out, we might be able to land directly next to the Bianshui base.
Occasionally, zombies would attack from around, but Ao Xin didn't take action. Xiaobai just beheaded them with a casual knife.
Ao Xin had originally planned to do so, but the crimson mountains he encountered on the road made him give up the idea:
"No, we're on our way to a crimson mountain range where many spirit corpses have gathered. If you pass through there, I'm afraid you'll be wiped out!"
"After this battle, rest for a night. I'll take you west to explore. Since we have a military camp there, the humans of the past definitely had more than just one. There might be other fortresses to defend against zombies."
Hearing that there were a large number of spirit corpses blocking the road, Luo Qingyan also knew that it was impossible to go east to reunite with the headquarters.
It’s a bit of a pity, but Ao Xin agreed to take them to explore the west, which is good news.
Since entering the secret realm, although their domineering talents have been greatly improved under the tempering of the blood river, she does not have the strength of Ao Xin, and the capable people in the Shendu branch are not as good as the Biancheng Beast Headquarters.
These days, people die in battle every day, which makes her feel very stressed.
When this wave of zombies was completely killed, there were still dozens of human corpses among the zombie corpses.
In the end times, the weak will eventually be eliminated.
After the battle, everyone rested on the spot. Ao Xin distributed food to them, and no one was equipped with a Moonlight Pill.
The next morning, he led everyone westward along the Blood River.
On the way, he naturally would not walk, but would sit on the flaming cloud and float above everyone's heads.
Luo Qingyan and Lin Ruoyu were also able to sit on the flame cloud because of Xiaobai, and they would only go down to fight when a large-scale tide of zombies appeared below.
Ao Xin entered the God-given space and contacted a special subordinate.
Shuwang!
This was the Rat King who was subdued in the Shendu City area. The search for the Iron Phoenix and the Golden Hairpin was made possible thanks to the group of rats under his command.
He did not tell anyone about Shu Wang's existence. Now that everyone from the Shendu branch had left there, he let Shu Wang lead the rat group from the Shendu branch of the Beast Base into the secret realm.
In fact, there are a lot of rats, and a black vortex has opened in their nest.
But Ao Xin did not let them enter the secret realm from there.
Because, after entering the secret realm from there, without the cleansing of the blood river, they would not be able to resist the powerful zombies in the secret realm.
After receiving his order, Shu Wang immediately led the rats to the river bank north of the city and dived into the black vortex.
What meets the eye is the dark red desolation, and behind him is a rushing river of blood.
At Shu Wang's command, the rats all jumped into the river of blood.
After Luo Qingyan's troops had been fighting for several days, there were not many zombies left here, and the rat group had not been attacked by too many zombies.
“Squeak!”
"squeak!"
Leaping into the river of blood, the rats let out shrill screams. The pain of torture was also unbearable for them.
Many mice's eyes went black, and they fainted and sank into the river of blood.
Some of the mice around were more resilient and when they saw mice fainting, they threw them ashore.
But most of the rats that sank to the bottom of the river drowned.
The laws of survival for animals are even more cruel.
They know better than humans that those who cannot accept the cleansing of the blood river to improve their qualifications will die at the hands of zombies in the future, even if they don't die now.
Moreover, these weak ones will drag down the entire ethnic group.
Therefore, those mice that fainted due to lack of mental toughness were directly abandoned by the group.
They don't have any psychological burden about this.
Shu Wang's small body was also trembling, but he endured the pain and tried his best to stay in there for a longer time.
Ao Xin was not worried about Shu Wang.
The reason why this mouse could bring so much trouble to Luo Qingyan in her previous life was naturally because it had experienced the test of the blood river and completed a transformation in it.
Outside the Bianshui military camp, when Ao Kang was leading everyone in the base to fight zombies, an uninvited guest suddenly arrived.
"Help!"
A man was running in front, followed by a dozen martial corpses and hundreds of hairy corpses chasing him.
"Human?"
Ao Kang looked at the person running towards him in surprise. It was too weird that a stranger appeared here.
