Not long after the man left, 003 eagerly flew out of the space.
"Host, I'm here."
Liuyin was lying on the stone bed, ignoring it.
When 003 brought her here, he specially covered her with a layer of spiritual energy from Wushan.
In the eyes of those spirits, she was the same as them, and her human form allowed her to survive in human settlements.
However, Liuyin stayed in Wushan for a few days but did not go down the mountain.
The villagers at the foot of the mountain looked emaciated, and their houses were mostly built with branches and mud.
The resources in the mountains are naturally more abundant, but there are also many dangers. Even if they live at the foot of the mountain, a little further away from Wushan, there are still many monsters that will come looking for them.
No one thought about leaving, because the surrounding area was all within the Wushan region.
In this land ravaged by spirits, no matter where you go, you cannot escape their pursuit. In fact, before you even leave Wushan, you will be captured by the spirits and become their meal.
In the past few hundred years, the villagers at the foot of the mountain did indeed find life difficult. In addition to their daily labor, they also had to be on guard against attacks from spirits and monsters.
Those monsters are cruel and bloodthirsty. They are not satisfied with just being full; they also want to see the terrified look in the eyes of their prey.
During that period, human remains and pieces of flesh were almost everywhere.
Until one day, a torrential rain fell on the mountain, and the howls of wild beasts echoed through Wushan at night.
The next morning, people saw that the water by the stream had been dyed dark red.
From then on, the villagers would go to the mountain to offer sacrifices on this day, seeking the protection of the mountain god.
Seeing that Liu Yin didn't speak, 003 flew to her and asked, "Host, what are you thinking about?"
Liu Yin looked up at it, her tone leisurely, "Human nature."
"What kind of human heart?"
003 was a little confused. They were just there to kill, what did it have to do with human nature?
Could it be that the host wants to eat this?
003 was startled. It knew that the monsters here ate people, but the monster's identity was fake.
Seeing the terrified look in 003's eyes, Liuyin couldn't help but laugh. "003, what nonsense are you thinking?"
"The human heart I'm referring to is, of course, human desires and greed, as well as their inherent flaws."
After the massacre was over, Liuyin looked at the things beside her and knew without a doubt that they were brought up by the villagers at the foot of the mountain.
They did indeed treat the slaughter as a way of worshipping the mountain god, but in the end, they couldn't overcome the greed in their hearts.
003 then realized, "Host, do you mean the final outcome of the massacre?"
To be honest, it didn't pay much attention to the demon Slaughter at first, because he was only mentioned briefly in the story.
The elders in the Demon Suppression Hall use swords for exorcising demons mostly forged from the bones of those they slaughter, and the cinnabar used for drawing talismans is ground from their blood.
He was born a great demon, possessing abundant spiritual power from birth, enough to fight against all spirits and monsters.
Originally, no one dared to come to Wushan because there were many spirits and monsters there.
However, as the number of casualties decreased, it attracted the attention of the demon hunters. After inquiring, they learned that the villagers of Wushan worshipped a mountain god.
Even though they were inwardly scoffing that such a small place could have a mountain god, they still went there.
On this trip, they obtained a treasure to exorcise the demon, while the villagers of Wushan lost their mountain god.
003 only read about the massacre because Liu Yin liked it, and he couldn't help but sigh when he learned about his fate.
Liu Yin nodded, "Those villagers hoped for a world without demons, a dream that the demon hunters had created for them, but they never expected that after being slaughtered and killed, they would live back to the way they were before."
"But host, you can rest assured this time. You don't need to worry about him being scammed while you're here."
"Indeed, you can rest assured." Liu Yin's voice turned cold, and a mocking smile appeared on her face.
"Since they don't need the mountain god, let them continue living in an era of monsters and spirits causing chaos."
"003, go and find out if there are any other suitable places to live nearby."
Liuyin didn't intend to stay in Wushan with Tulu for the rest of her life; she wanted to find at least another place.
The creatures that slaughter here eat are all monsters stained with blood, which does him no good. Why do something so thankless and exhausting?
“Okay, host.” 003 nodded in response.
——
While Tulu was searching for food, he suddenly noticed that the spiritual energy in the air had become denser, which meant that new spirits were about to be born.
I just don't know what kind of animal it is.
The man frowned slightly, but continued picking wild fruits with his hands; he had no mind to think about these things at the moment.
His mate awaited him in the cave, constantly stirring his heartstrings.
The slaughterer wrapped the wild fruits he had picked in a large leaf; he had picked dozens of different kinds of fruits.
He was already very familiar with the roads of Wushan, so finding these fruits didn't take him long.
In his opinion, these fruits didn't have much spiritual energy, and he didn't know if they could satisfy Liuyin's hunger.
Even if you pick dozens of fruits, the spiritual energy contained in them is not even as much as a piece of meat from other spirits.
On his way back, the man kept thinking about how to get Liuyin to eat meat with him.
The cave was unusually quiet, which made the footsteps of the newcomer sound particularly heavy.
"You're back?"
Upon seeing Tu Lu's figure, Liu Yin immediately got up from the stone bed and ran towards him.
"Slow down."
The man stepped forward, reached out and picked up Liuyin. "Are you hungry?"
Liu Yin shook her head and said with a smile, "Only a little bit."
Tu Lu placed Liu Yin on the stone bed, his gaze lowered, landing on her feet.
"Next time I'll go find those weak people and ask them to bring me shoes."
The man opened the leaves he was holding, revealing the wild berries inside, and handed them to Liuyin.
"What is this?" Liuyin asked, pointing to one of the small white fruits.
003 had picked other fruits for her, but she had never seen this color before.
The man paused for a moment, then answered her, "This is immortality."
"Immortality?"
Tu Lu explained, "The original story was passed down by that group of people; eating this fruit can cure diseases."
When that group of people first offered sacrifices to him, they asked for either to exorcise demons or to gain immortality.
But in his opinion, it was probably because this fruit contained the most spiritual energy that it had this effect.
"Oh." Liuyin nodded, and casually picked up a piece and fed it to the man's lips.
After hesitating for a moment, Tulu opened his mouth and ate it.
He had never eaten this kind of fruit before, but now it seemed to taste pretty good.
“Slaughter, tell me, how about we move to another place?” Liuyin asked, leaning on the man’s shoulder.
"good."
Do you prefer beautiful places?
