They believed that they would have meat to eat if they followed the Zhou family.

They were both afraid and terrified of Liangzhou because of their identity as mountain people, and Liangzhou was full of border troops, so they didn't dare to come at all.

If it weren't for the Zhou family this time, they would rather be beaten to death than set foot in Liangzhou.

As soon as they entered Liangzhou, they walked on the mountain paths and did not dare to get close to the main road.

Even the hill where we are now is thirty miles away from Gan County.

Ji Changying and his friends traveled for a full hour before they finally reached the foot of the mountain under the guidance of Zhou Yidao.

"It should be this mountain. The top of the mountain looks like a rooster's comb. It must be here!"

Zhou Yidao became more and more certain as he spoke.

Ji Fengshou glanced at the mountain and smacked his lips. "Are you sure? This mountain looks like a deep forest. Is it really habitable?"

The mountains are bare and green at this time of year. The trees are towering into the sky and their branches are all dry and intertwined.

Not only is there no vitality, even the feeling of survival is a problem.

Zhou Yidao and his four sons jumped down from the carriage. The five of them felt around on the trees and replied affirmatively: "Yes, it's right here!"

Ji Changying also got off the carriage: "Then let's go up and see if we can find a place to tie up the carriage?"

Ji Fengshou nodded: "You guys go ahead, I'll tie up Yuanbao."

Zhou An and his team led the way while looking for the marks on the trees.

Ji Changying noticed that the marks were simply arrows drawn on the trees.

Following the arrows, they headed towards the middle of the mountain.

Arriving in an unfamiliar environment, Ji Changying had to be vigilant. She fully exerted her mental power, and the long chain given to her by Ren Dongnan turned into an iron rod and was firmly carried behind her back.

After walking for only a quarter of an hour, she realized something was wrong.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air. When I looked up, I saw a one-sided massacre taking place in a huge cave in the valley.

There were five men with top-notch skills, holding long swords, attacking more than a hundred people with cold and disdainful expressions.

After killing more than a dozen people, the five men gathered the remaining people together and made them kneel on the ground with their heads lowered.

The leader looked down at the people on the ground with disdain: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The person being questioned was an elderly man. He was already frightened and had no idea what the other party was saying. He just kept shaking his head: "I don't know... I don't know... I don't know anything. Please, heroes, let us go!"

The leader frowned, lifted the old man's neck and slashed his throat with a sword.

There was a scream nearby.

Seeing this, the others stepped forward and killed the screaming person decisively.

"Whoever dares to shout will die first!"

"I ask you again, who are you? And why are you here?!"

The leader shouted loudly, his eyes flashing with ferocity.

Ji Changying turned to look at his uncles: "Is there no one in the Shelter who can fight?"

Zhou An paused for a moment: "There are a few who are quite strong, but their brains are a little weak. Most of them are just ordinary people who are very timid."

Ji Changying quickened her pace: "I smell blood, I'm afraid something has happened to them."

Zhou Yidao sniffed the air and his expression changed: "I think I smell it too!"

"Go!"

They trotted after him.

With Ji Changying leading the way, they didn't look at any signs along the way and followed her straight to their destination.

At this time, they naturally didn't care how Ji Changying determined the direction.

When we arrived at the cave entrance at the valley, we saw a mess.

The wild fruits and earthen stoves on the ground were all kicked over, and scraps of cloth and food were scattered all over the ground.

When Zhou An and the others saw this situation, their faces changed.

Ji Changying lowered her voice: "Something's going on inside."

Zhou Yidao took his butcher knife from his waist and stretched out his arm to block the way forward: "Follow me."

After saying that, he was the first to walk inside.

Ji Changying clearly saw that the people inside seemed to have heard the noise here. Two of them had turned their heads and were staring at the cave entrance.

"Don't move!"

She quickly grabbed Zhou Yidao.

The people inside have good internal strength.

This place is at least five meters away from their position, but I can hear their movements. They should not be underestimated.

Zhou Yidao looked at Ji Changying and asked what was wrong?

He looked anxious, as if he was worried that the people in the shelter were not faking it.

"The people inside have heard our movements, you guys step back." Ji Changying pulled his grandfather back with a serious expression.

Just as Zhou An was about to say something, Ji Fengshou stopped him. He shook his head and said, "Listen to Ah Ying."

Zhou Yidao and his four uncles were full of confusion.

But out of trust in Ji Fengshou, he still stepped back a little.

As soon as they left their previous position, three long swords rushed towards them at lightning speed.

Ji Changying reacted extremely quickly. The moment the long sword came out, she swung out her iron stick as well.

After a few "ding ding dang dang" sounds, the three swords were chopped off and flew to the side.

Two figures rushed towards Ji Changying like arrows shot from a bow.

Zhou Yidao's expression was stern: "Who is it?"

He picked up the butcher knife and went up. His years of experience in butchering pigs made him know where the weak spots on the human body were.

But what he didn't expect was that the other party's speed was beyond his understanding.

Before he could rush to the other party, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist and the butcher knife in his hand almost slipped out.

The opponent's sword energy had cut the skin on his wrist.

It was just a little bit away from cutting off his entire palm, but Ji Changying reached out to stop it.

"Dad! The situation is not good, you take the uncles and leave first!"

While Ji Changying was fighting a life-and-death battle with two people, he took the time to shout.

Ji Fengshou's face was filled with anxiety. After hearing Ji Changying's words, he ignored all courtesy and grabbed Zhou Yidao's arm: "Don't hold us back here, come with me!"

Zhou Yidao was sweating profusely, and when he heard Ji Fengshou's words, he became furious: "Are you still a man? You just left your child and ran away..."

Ji Fengshou grabbed the man and ran downstairs without looking back. Uncle Wednesday and Uncle Thursday picked up sticks from the ground and refused to leave. They hesitated and looked for an opportunity to go up.

Ji Changying looked anxious: "Run! Go back and get help! Don't hold me back!"

The two men saw that Ji Changying was distracted, and they understood what he meant. One of them stepped forward and attacked the two uncles, while the other attacked Ji Changying's back.

"careful!"
