The beggar Huaisheng's body kept shaking, and his muscles were cramping because of the pain. He knew that this was the most difficult step, but also the most important one. As long as he could get through this stage and awaken, he could truly guard the village and become a true village defender.
Suddenly, a white light appeared from the surface of the dirty beggar's body. It flashed for only a few seconds and then dissipated. A few breaths later, a transparent light wave spread from the beggar's body, gradually expanding until it enveloped the entire village.
At the entrance to the stone cave on the back hill of Xiaojia Village, the village chief and Granny Liu sat side by side on a jujube wood bench. The village chief took a bowl and chopsticks from his lunch box and handed them to Granny Liu. Granny Liu fumbled to take the bowl and chopsticks when she seemed to sense something. She paused, then a smile broke out on her wrinkled face. She turned slightly towards the village chief and said softly, "It's done. With this barrier, those dark creatures shouldn't be able to detect any abnormalities in the village. We'll have more time to recuperate."
The village chief also smiled: "Yes, at least we won't be a light bulb in their eyes. As long as those creatures can't find our village, the village will be safe."
Granny Liu picked up her bowl and chopsticks, scooped up a spoonful of hot porridge and stuffed it into her mouth. As she ate, she asked, "How are the children being recalled? If the number of people who have returned is about the same, we should find a time to gather everyone together and let everyone study. After all, only by improving our own abilities can we survive better. This world is in chaos, and we old bones can't do it alone."
"Don't worry, people have returned home one after another. I will arrange to notify the villagers in a few days."
"By the way, does Daqing's younger brother Datian still go hunting in the mountains every day?"
"He's still hunting! His family is an old hunter, and they make a living from this skill. They have twelve wolfhounds at home. The dogs are very fierce, fierce and strong. Each dog eats more than a grown man. Every time he eats, he prepares food for the dogs first, and he eats last. He has to hunt diligently, otherwise he won't be able to catch a single meal. The dogs will eat all the food at home! I heard that a few days ago, a group of wild boars from the mountain behind us ran down and destroyed the corn stalks, so he set an ambush and caught them. There were five of them, big and small! They made a lot of money! Now he goes up the mountain every night to dig holes and assemble wild bows."
"Tell him to be careful when hunting, and to get rid of any animals that look strange."
"I understand. I'll let him watch."
"Well, thank you for your hard work. I hope the children can grow up quickly. Time is running out."
As the two chattered about the arrangements for the village, a rustling sound suddenly rang out in the originally quiet forest in the deep mountains not far from the village. The rustling sound came from far away and became louder and louder, as if some huge creature was quickly crossing the forest, running firmly in a certain direction. The forest that was originally covered with dense trees and weeds seemed to be overwhelmed by some unknown creature. It was as if some invisible huge creatures were running wildly in the forest, quickly opening up passages. When the small village not far away was shrouded in a layer of transparent barrier, these invisible creatures seemed to have lost their target, stopped their fast pace, and lingered in place, as if they had lost their way. Not long after, these creatures gradually disappeared from the spot, and the forest gradually became quiet. Only the whistling wind and the weeds and trees that were leaning on the ground were left, indicating what had happened here.
