The monster was resting in the woods not far from the crater. Huo Sijin sent men to surround it and throw firecrackers into the area.

Soon, the monster was so frightened that it scattered and fled in all directions.

Huo Sijin used another trick to incite the two monsters vying for the leadership position to fight.

The two monsters quickly fought until they were both bleeding profusely, and fought until they were completely knocked down, still staring intently at each other.

Huo Sijin rushed out and killed both monsters instantly.

The other monsters, terrified by their leader's death, scattered in all directions. At that moment, those who had been guarding the area swarmed forward and attacked the remaining monsters.

Miserable roars echoed through the mountains and forests from time to time until nightfall, when the war finally ended.

All the monsters died, and before anyone else could see, Qin Su selected one monster and put it into his spatial storage.

The formation and mutation of this monster were beyond her previous understanding.

She needs to dissect the monster to uncover its secrets.

My second uncle solved a big problem and was in a great mood.

"Xiao Huo, you are a great benefactor of Xijiang. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. I will definitely help if I can."

Huo Sijin politely replied, "Thank you, Second Uncle."

He looked honest and well-behaved, exactly the kind of good child the older generation would consider.

"Just putting on an act," Fifth Uncle shook his head.

Sigh, how come even my second brother got fooled by this kid?

“Xiao Huo, you helped Xicheng, and we should have held a celebration banquet right away, but I’m really worried about my third brother right now. I’ll go to Dongjiang first and then we can prepare the celebration banquet.”

Huo Sijin had no problem with it: "Second Uncle, I'll go with you. If anything happens, I can help."

The second uncle increasingly felt that this niece's husband was quite good: "Good."

Fifth Uncle sighed, "This kid, he's really good at pretending."

He needs to keep a close eye on things, lest everyone be bribed by this kid.

"Susu, we can't be love-struck, you know?"

Qin Su: ……

Arriving at Dongjiang, the situation there was similar to that of Xijiang. However, at this moment, every household in Dongjiang had their doors tightly shut.

"Could they have been attacked by monsters too?" Fifth Uncle asked.

Second Uncle shook his head: "It shouldn't be. The only monsters around here are the kind near the volcano. Those monsters married into the West River, so they shouldn't come to the East River."

"Besides, no matter what, the gatekeeper should be here, but right now, there's not even a sound from the gatekeeper."

Qin Su wrinkled her nose as a bloody smell wafted over.

"Let's go take a look over there."

She walked quickly behind a wall, where corpses lay scattered on the ground.

"How could this happen? Has this been a massacre?"

My second uncle, his voice trembling, ran quickly forward until he finally stopped in front of a villa in the city center.

"Third brother, third brother, open the door quickly."

“It’s me, your fifth brother, and Susu. We’ve come to see you.”

There was no sound inside the room, and Qin Su smelled blood again.

"Huo Sijin, kick the door open and go in."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Huo Sijin kicked open the door.

Inside the house, the third uncle lay on the ground, clutching his chest, already unconscious.

"Third brother (third elder brother)..."

Second Uncle and Fifth Uncle rushed over to check and found that Third Uncle's body temperature was dropping.

"Susu, quick, come quickly and save your third uncle..."

Fifth Uncle cried out in alarm, while Qin Su, who had already sensed something was wrong, immediately went to Third Uncle's side.

Qin Su's eyes flickered slightly as she felt his unusual pulse.

He took out some pills from his spatial storage and fed them to his third uncle. He then took out silver needles and applied them to several of his third uncle's major acupoints.

Fifteen minutes later, my third uncle's condition finally stabilized.

"Susu, what exactly happened to your third uncle?"

Fifth Uncle asked.

"My third uncle must have been attacked while he was poisoned. If we had arrived any later, even a miracle wouldn't have been able to save him."

Qin Su was also sweating profusely with anxiety. She had been afraid that she wouldn't have enough time and that her third uncle would die.

Seeing that his third uncle's condition had stabilized, his second uncle went out to inquire about the situation.

When he returned, his face was full of anger.

"That damned bastard, he actually poisoned my third brother and tried to kill him!"

After my third uncle took over Dongjiang, life in Dongjiang was good, and the people of Dongjiang were generally considered simple and honest.

But no one expected that such a perfect pot of porridge would be marred by such a bad apple.

The person in charge, promoted by my third uncle, actually conspired to kill my third uncle and seize Dongjiang.

He was the one who lured those mutated monsters to Xijiang.

Taking advantage of the monster invasion of Xijiang, he accelerated his rebellion.

Many of those who supported Third Uncle were killed by that man.

"When that man heard that the monster had been destroyed in Xijiang, he was afraid that I would come to Dongjiang to take revenge, so he stole the supplies from Dongjiang and ran away."

The second uncle gritted his teeth in anger. That person had harmed his third brother, and he had to get revenge no matter what.

But this is the apocalypse, and technology is underdeveloped; they don't know where to track them down.

"Do you have a portrait of that person?"

Huo Sijin spoke.

"Little Huo, do you have a way to get revenge?"

My second uncle's eyes lit up: "If you have a way to get revenge, I'll give you whatever you want."

Fifth Uncle: ...

Second brother, are you going to sell your niece?

Looking at Qin Su again, her eyes were full of affection as she gazed at Huo Sijin.

Forget it, daughters grow up and can't be kept at home; keeping them will only lead to enmity.

"Second Uncle, you don't need to be so polite. We are family. Third Uncle's grudge is my grudge."

After seeing the photos, Huo Sijin immediately set off.

Qin Su wanted to follow, but was stopped by her fifth uncle.

“Su Su, your third uncle still needs you. This kid is incredibly powerful; even monsters are no match for him. That traitor is definitely no match for him either.”

Huo Sijin also said, "Su Su, I'll be back soon, don't worry."

Actually, my third uncle is fine now; he just needs to rest and recover.

She wanted to avenge her third uncle herself, and these past few days she had been practicing her skills to see if she could handle ordinary people.

But fearing that his two uncles would worry, he had no choice but to give up.

"I'll send a few experts with you!"

My second uncle had to handle all the affairs of Dongjiang and Xijiang, so he didn't have time to go out at this time.

"No need, I'm fast enough, they can't catch up."

Huo Sijin refused; having someone with him would actually hinder his performance.

After Huo Sijin left, her second uncle called Qin Su out.

"Su Su, Huo Sijin is no ordinary person."

Having fought monsters together, Second Uncle knew perfectly well that Huo Sijin possessed extraordinary power.

He himself suddenly gained that power, which made him much stronger than ordinary people, but Huo Sijin's power was obviously even greater than his.

Qin Su blinked: "Second Uncle has a good eye."

There was no way Qin Su could hide this from her second uncle, so she simply told him some of it.

"Huo Sijin does indeed possess a very strong power within him. Not only him, but I also have one. However, I have two such powers within me, which is not a good thing for my body. If I lose control, I will die."

"It was Huo Sijin who helped me suppress those two forces; otherwise, I'm afraid I would be dead by now."
