You can smell the gunpowder and blood even from a great distance.

Yao Hong vomited immediately upon smelling the odor.

Ye Aotian ordered everyone to hide immediately, as he was worried that there might still be remaining troops in the village.

After a while, seeing no movement, Ye Aocai sent his men to check.

"No need, brother, I feel there's no danger in the village anymore."

Ye Aotian clearly didn't believe Xiaoxi's feelings, but he still had someone investigate again.

When Brother Qiao returned from the search, he looked utterly disgusting.

"Tragic, in a word, utterly tragic! The entire village was wiped out."

Ye Aotian remained silent. He saw that most of the people in the bushes were those brought by Xiao Xi, including two old men, Cheng Sheng and Wu Changquan.

Cheng Sheng, a master appraiser, needs everyone's protection; what kind of fighting power does he have?

Wu Changquan was just a martial arts school director. Even if he were a master of ancient martial arts, he couldn't dodge a barrage of bullets.

Looking at the two women, Xiaoxi's homeroom teacher is as gentle and weak as a little white rabbit. Maybe she would just scream if she encountered any danger?

The other great beauty is said to be a painter, but she's not out sketching.

Then there were two young men who were completely powerless, and another who looked like a college student and was quite well-mannered.

There were a few others who looked like street thugs, not like they were out having a small-scale brawl.

Only those who make a living on the island look decent enough, but I wonder how strong their fighting ability is?

Ye Aotian regretted it a little. He should have agreed to let Xiaoxi bring people out. If something happened, it would be fine to protect only Xiaoxi, but how could he take care of so many people?

Xiaoxi was unaware that her older brother had mentally evaluated her character and given her a very low score.

"Brother, why are we stopping? Aren't we supposed to get to the town ahead?"

"Wait a minute, Xiaoxi, I have a suggestion."

Everyone listened attentively, and Ye Aotian organized his thoughts, trying to avoid speaking too harshly.

"Xiaoxi, I think the fact that our first stop is a village that has been destroyed proves that our trip is quite dangerous."

Besides, the border checkpoints are quite strict when you enter the market. Xiaoxi, your friends and they were prepared in a hurry. I think they definitely don't have any documents and haven't even gone through the basic exit procedures.

"Or they could stay on the airship for the next few days, and then disembark and enjoy the scenery when they find a safer spot. That wouldn't be out of the question."

Xiaoxi wondered what her brother meant.

"Do you still think my friends are traveling as a group?"

"Brother, this stereotype is a sweeping generalization. What makes you think they're all so bad?"

Your person, Yao Hong, just threw up, but my people didn't even flinch.

It's not because Yao Hong didn't offend Xiao Xi this time, but because she tried to befriend her from the beginning, that Xiao Xi would have brought it up now.

Yan Mo was a little unhappy when she heard what Ye Aotian said. "It's just about ID cards, right? Xiao Xi, I'll go get them for everyone."

Xiaoxi had great faith in her teacher's abilities and nodded in agreement.

Everyone saw Yan Mo's nimble figure flash into the weeds and appear at the entrance of the small village in just a few seconds.

Brother Qiao exclaimed, "Great skills!" It took them several minutes to walk over.
