"Hahaha…"
A noblewoman in casual clothes, her face hidden behind a hat, is on the run.
However, the pervasive fog only allowed her to wander around in the jungle within a certain range.
She was a member of a family that fled south from Chen City and was a passenger on an intercepted cargo ship.
The impending turmoil caused her to take off her gorgeous and exquisite jewelry and long dresses and put on humble clothes to protect herself.
It also forced her to leave her hometown.
But good luck did not favor her out of mercy, just as it did not favor all the passengers who were stopped.
They and the beastmen who intercepted them were trapped by the monster.
She ran as fast as she could, the hot breath coming out of her lungs intermittently, burning her internal organs.
But even so, she still couldn't escape and could only go around in circles miserably.
In the dim fog all around, the wailing, screaming, pleas for mercy, and roars of strangers could be heard continuously.
Surrounded by these movements, her mind was gradually eroded by fear.
However, those terrifying voices that made her more and more collapsed made her feel inexplicably familiar.
As time went on, the sounds in the fog became fewer and fewer, and at the same time, they were getting closer and closer.
The noble girl didn't dare to stop. Her instinct made her burn everything she had and run desperately.
She walked around a huge tree that took three people to hug and continued forward.
But in the next moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from behind her and instantly passed her fleeing figure.
“Ka-bang!”
The huge tree then broke and fell to the side, stirring up a strong wind with a loud noise.
In the thick fog, a dark shadow blocked the noble woman's way and cut off her escape route.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Her shaky sanity snapped in an instant, and a scream of collapse burst out of her mouth.
When she felt the cool water droplets on her cheeks and felt a tearing pain in her throat, she finally reacted.
Ah, that's why it feels familiar to me.
Because, in the end, her father, mother, brother and herself are all the same.
In the same way, they were devoured by the monster while wailing.
The screams stopped abruptly, replaced by creepy "crackling" sounds.
The monster, covered in crimson metal armor and possessing only a huge mouth, crushed the last bone.
At this moment, there is no longer any intelligent species on the banks of the Wunu River, which is filled with feather powder.
All that was left were a large number of fallen or broken trees and a dead silence.
The ghoul raised its head slightly, and the feather-powder mist began to gather towards the sentry post.
He could sense that there were still a large number of living things there.
The monster's back opened up, and two pairs of crimson-purple wings stretched out.
Without the shelter of the trees, the sun could faintly seep through the thick fog, casting a shadow over the twisted predatory organs.
The fragmented soft light gave the Hezi a cold metallic luster.
Zi Sui did not stay there for too long, as the desire to hunt kept urging him on.
The huge Yu He suddenly swung downwards!
"call out!"
Even with the owl wings' cushioning and "silencing" effect, the high-speed impact with the air still caused a slight sound of breaking wind.
Immediately afterwards, an even louder noise followed!
"Bang!"
The sentry post fence and the wall of the first building collapsed instantly.
The hunt begins again.
Just like this place, the Bo Xi family in Huanshuizhou in the southern part of Tianpiaoyang has also become a hell on earth.
In the magnificent and huge mansion, bright red and half-dried crimson mixed together, tearing apart the illusion of past tranquility.
Let’s go back to a few hours ago.
The carrier pigeon was as fast as an arrow, flying straight through the sky and arriving at a remote corner of Bo Xi's compound.
Bo Xiwan opened the window as if he had sensed something, and the carrier pigeon landed lightly on the wooden window frame.
Bo Xiwan's clear blue eyes met the pigeon's red eyes. The pigeon shook its body, which felt a little painful, and then spoke.
"Bo Xigan can't get on the boat tonight."
Short and powerful, direct and efficient.
A satisfied smile appeared on Bo Xiwan's lips.
He stroked the pigeon's soft feathers and then let it go to eat and drink water.
"Since they plan to take action early tomorrow morning, how can I refuse them?"
Bo Xiwan brought in his trusted aides and began to gather troops.
During the half month he spent back in Wushi on the Jincai merchant ship, he relied on money and the help of the forces behind him to make things happen.
The other noon-day aristocratic families who had been secretly maintaining ties with the Bo Xi family had already promised not to interfere in the "family affairs" of the Bo Xi family.
Even though this promise seemed quite unreliable, Bo Xiwan didn't care.
All he had to do was use threats and inducements to prevent them from interfering when he took action.
After that, he was confident that he could hold the position of the head of the family securely, and naturally he was not afraid of any small moves made by other families.
As for the source of his confidence?
"Master, the elders are ready."
The confidant left in a hurry and came back quickly. After approaching Bo Xiwan, he immediately began to report in a low voice.
That’s right, what Bo Xiwan really relies on are the elders of the Bo Xi family who are related to him by blood.
For Bo Xiwan, the immediate benefits are enough for him to make big promises.
Most importantly, he had already collected evidence in advance that his good brother Bo Xigan was colluding with the academic clique.
Those elders are just old, not suffering from Alzheimer's.
Among the legitimate descendants, there was actually a traitor.
If they choose two other candidates from the same direct lineage in the future, then they are tired of living.
Therefore, when looking for other heirs in the next generation, their attention was rarely focused on the illegitimate sons.
Among the concubine's sons, the oldest, most well-connected, and most experienced in management was Bo Xiwan.
He also started his own business and obtained a large amount of funds.
Therefore, choosing Bo Xiwan suddenly became a natural thing to do.
Bo Xiwan's thoughts wandered for only a second, and the next moment, he asked.
"Where are my two brothers and my younger siblings?"
"Master, the eldest master is still on his private yacht and is expected to arrive within Yuyan Island in ten minutes."
"The Second Young Master is still at the front line in Yin City, and the rest are at home."
"Except for the eldest and second young masters, our people can control the other young masters and young ladies at any time."
He carefully confirmed that the two main competitors would not be able to return to the old house in the near future.
The following heirs, who are also illegitimate sons, are also under control.
Now, as long as he sits on the throne of the patriarch, he can easily crush them.
Even if these two legitimate competitors returned to the Bo Xi family afterwards, it would be of no use.
What's more, once they get the news, it's not certain whether they will be able to come back.
I advocate completely eliminating the threat.
As Bo Xiwan thought about this, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
The sea breeze from Huanshuizhou blew into Bo Xi's house at night, bringing bursts of coolness.
On this "continent" composed of many islands, the largest island is about to fall into chaos.
