Suddenly, Chen Daocheng, who was running at the end of the team, was hit on the back of the head by a stone thrown by the refugees. His eyes went black and he fell to the ground.
"I hit it! I hit it!" One of the refugees shouted ecstatically, "We've got food for today, hahahaha!"
"Sixth Brother!"
Tang Hanyun, Qu Xiangwan and others turned back and helped Chen Daocheng up. Tang Hanyun looked at the refugees who were getting closer and closer, and gently placed his hand on the Wuyong sword at his waist.
Qu Xiangwan was busy feeding Chen Daocheng elixirs to transfer his spiritual power. There was a big hole in the back of his head caused by the sharp stone, and blood was oozing out of it. I wonder if he will be okay.
During his free time, Qu Xiangwan saw the senior brother draw his sword and couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother, do we still have Forget Worry Powder?"
Tang Hanyun's expression was extremely cold, and a cold light flashed across his brows. "There's only a little left. I can't care about so much anymore."
Seeing the refugees getting closer and closer, Xiao Wu pressed the Tai Sui Sword at his waist and turned to look at his senior brother, "Senior Brother, do we still have a lot of Wangyou powder?"
Li Fengyao nodded slightly, "There are plenty of them, but we hardly used them during the journey."
"That's good, let's go save people first." As she spoke, the two wind-controlling talismans between her fingertips flew out.
Suddenly, two hurricanes rolled up on the open ground and swept towards the refugees. Looking at this strange scene, the refugees stood in place with weapons in their hands, staring at the two hurricanes. Even though they knew there was danger ahead, they were unwilling to retreat and wanted to fight again.
It was not until one after another people were blown into the sky that the refugees slowly retreated after hearing their screams.
“Someone is helping us!”
Tang Hanyun turned around, his messy hair swayed slightly with his movement, and a hint of hope appeared on his not-so-clean face.
"If it's not a human helping you, could it be a ghost?"
Although Xiao Wu's figure was not revealed, Tang Hanyun recognized her identity immediately. He pursed his cracked lips tightly, lowered his head, and thanked them sincerely, "Thank you."
Xiao Wu swiftly took out six invisibility talismans and stuck them on them. Upon hearing this, he looked up in surprise, a hint of a smile between his words, "Okay, okay. When you go back, remember to settle the market price for the talismans I gave you."
When Tang Hanyun heard her laughter, he was not angry and just nodded softly.
After the Wind Control Talisman lost its effect, the refugees turned back. Seeing that there was no one in front of them, they couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! We let them escape. Why should God help them?"
Li Fengyao listened to their words, and his eyes, which were usually warm, became slightly colder.
When the group escaped to a place where there were no refugees, the invisibility talisman became ineffective.
Xiao Wu stood beside several of her senior brothers and sisters, arms folded across her chest. "Master Tang, Brother Qu..." She called everyone one by one and then got to the point. "Tell me, what's wrong with you? How could a dignified cultivator be bullied like this by an ordinary person in the mortal world?"
Tang Hanyun blushed a little when he heard her next familiar words, but Qu Xiangwan couldn't help but step forward and complain about the hardships she had suffered these days.
"After we came out of the boundary gate, we were teleported to the Jinyao Kingdom. As soon as we got down the mountain, we encountered a large number of refugees. They were not bad this time. They just asked for money and food. We gave them some and they let us go."
"Later, not long after, we encountered several more waves of refugees. Each wave was more brutal than the last. In the end, we were completely out of money and food, so they turned their attention to us. I even saw them...yue~"
At this point, Qu Xiangwan's face turned pale and he couldn't help but dry heave. Gui Lingxian and the fourth and fifth brothers beside him couldn't help but dry heave either. Tang Hanyun just found a place to vomit the acid.
Seeing them like this, Li Fengyao and the others probably guessed what they had seen, and their faces couldn't help but look ugly.
Xiao Shuze wiped off the goose bumps on his body. In a blink of an eye, he saw that only the little junior sister looked normal. He couldn't help but move closer to her for some psychological comfort. "Don't be afraid, little junior sister. Senior brother will protect you."
Xiao Wu wasn't afraid. She had seen this kind of thing before in the apocalypse, and she had long since gotten over the fear and nausea. But now, when she heard the sound of Fifth Brother's teeth chattering, she didn't expose him. She grinned, "Fifth Brother, you're so kind."
After talking to Fifth Brother, she looked up at Qu Xiangwan and asked, "So this is how you used up all your talismans and forgetfulness powder?"
Qu Xiangwan dry-heaved for a long time before recovering and continuing, "Yes! This Jinyao Kingdom is full of refugees. We encountered refugees almost every ten kilometers. The talismans and forget-me-not powder we brought with us couldn't last that long. In the end, we had no choice but to flee, just like you just saw."
Mu Qingchen looked at their team, which consisted of five sword cultivators and one alchemy cultivator. Doesn’t this show the role of the talisman cultivator?
Xiao Shuze looked at him with curiosity.
"But Brother Qu, we came here from the Ancient Dragon Country, which is next to the Jinyao Country. The disaster victims in the Ancient Dragon Country weren't as horrific as here, and there weren't as many of them. You've been in the Jinyao Country for so long, have you discovered why there are so many disaster victims here?"
Before Qu Xiangwan could figure out what to say, Tang Hanyun replied for him.
"The current emperor of Jinyao is incompetent and cruel. Even before the war and drought, the lower-class people here were already suffering."
"After the drought and war, corruption ensued among government officials at all levels. The grain distributed by the imperial court was embezzled by local officials, so after these refugees had eaten all the grass roots and tree bark, they turned their attention to humans."
