“I know your concerns; no one wants their child to fight with a monster.”
"We are now in a very dangerous situation. The monsters have trapped us in Qingyuan Town, trying to starve and kill us without bloodshed. We cannot sit idly by and wait to die!"
Zhu Yi stood atop a tall vine tree, and everyone looked up at her, as if a celestial maiden had descended to earth.
The girl's eyes and brows were filled with a firm determination to exorcise the demon.
"Fairy, it's not that we don't want to believe you, it's that we really can't see any hope of survival!"
The white-haired old man stood in front of everyone, looked up and spoke to Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi couldn't see his anxious face, but through his aged and hoarse voice, she could sense his unease and tension.
This is probably the feeling shared by all residents of Qingyuan Town.
"What a terrible thing! How did we even manage to provoke these monsters?"
"We have lived here for generations, but we never expected to be persecuted by a group of demonic snakes!"
"Now that I think about it, instead of living in constant fear, I might as well end it all, just like Old Liu's daughter!"
The conversation shifted too quickly, and everyone started talking about how the Liu family girl had been rescued and discovered she was pregnant. The girl was devoted to the demon snake and insisted on giving birth to the child.
As a result, the fetus in her womb grew bigger every day and kept sucking her blood and energy. No matter how her parents tried to persuade her, she wouldn't listen. She wouldn't even drink the medicine her parents had prepared for her, and in the end, she died.
"How pitiful!"
"We're going to have to endure this here forever. When will we finally get out?"
Their voices were mournful and sorrowful. Although everyone was complaining about the troubles of being trapped, they all cooperated with Zhu Yi's idea.
"From now on, we must pay close attention to any suspicious people or things around us. The militia team will be divided into two groups to patrol day and night. We should be discreet and try our best to protect ourselves."
"If you encounter a monster that you can't defeat, you must run fast! If all else fails, we still have an invisibility talisman, which is this talisman written in blue ink. Burn it, sprinkle the ashes on yourself, and you can become invisible for an hour so the monster can't find you!"
Finally, Zhu Yi felt it necessary to further boost morale and reassure everyone: "Fellow villagers, we are facing an unprecedented danger, but I believe we will get through it safely!"
"My fellow disciples are on their way, and we will surely be able to wait for their rescue!"
The sparse crowd erupted into a new round of arguments.
"If we surrender, those monsters will eat us!"
"Moreover, those monsters killed many of our loved ones, we must not admit defeat!"
"We will listen to the fairy."
When life gets tough, you have to persevere and endure it. Who knows if you'll really end up being eaten by a monster?
Old Vine Tree led Zhu Yi back to the inn and headed straight for Jinbao's room.
Jinbao was still in bed, fast asleep.
On the small couch not far from him, Xiao Baizhi was curled up in a ball and had not woken up.
Although boys and girls are not allowed to sit together after the age of seven.
But in such a place surrounded by demons, it is really not safe to let a child under 10 years old sleep alone in a room.
Jinbao always took Xiaobaizhi to learn magic, and after a while, Xiaobaizhi started sleeping at his place.
Zhu Yi didn't think too much about it, after all, Jinbao was just a dog.
Moreover, Xiao Baizhi also has her own bed and screen.
Only those with evil hearts see evil in everything and are therefore constantly uneasy.
Jinbao was stunned. He leaned close to Zhu Yi's eyes and sniffed them.
She was certain that something was obstructing her view.
But Jinbao couldn't see through the other party.
"Junior Sister, where is your divine sense?"
Jinbao was speechless. There was an old vine tree on his left foot and a flowery leader on his right shoulder. Being so fully armed, it was obvious that he had encountered a big problem.
"I'm here!"
Zhu Yi feigned playfulness, but inside she was extremely flustered.
Su Linyuan is now inexplicably asleep. She herself does not know why she has gone blind and her body is ice cold. She cannot rely on the other cultivators in the inn. She can only ask Jinbao for help now.
"Senior Brother Jinbao, I'm scared!"
The little girl's eyes were vacant, staring intently at the window.
Jinbao didn't want to say that he was standing at the door, opposite her.
But seeing her expression of sudden realization made my heart soften.
"Junior Sister, besides not being able to see, do you feel anything else unusual about yourself right now?"
Jinbao spoke softly and gently, truly resembling a refined young master from a noble family, completely unlike the wagging-tail-wagging dog he used to be.
“I didn’t detect any demonic or monster aura on the boss,” the old vine tree said roughly. “After all, I am a demonic plant, so I am more sensitive to these things.”
Zhu Yi pondered for a moment and said, "I feel like I've fallen into an ice cellar. My whole body is ice cold, but I can also clearly feel the heat of the flames."
Zhu Yi simply sat cross-legged on the ground, her slender hands forming a mudra, and the five elements of spiritual energy—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—circulated in sequence around her.
The spiritual energy permeated my entire body and bones without being diminished by any external force.
Instead, it evokes a strange sense of grandeur.
