At this moment, the mutated beasts that were about to approach the city wall also stopped and turned around to look behind them.
The light grew ever closer.
"Roar... Roar..." The worm-like mutated behemoth roared to the sky, seemingly sensing danger. Countless mutated beasts behind it immediately surged toward the glowing object.
Everyone on the city wall watched this scene in astonishment, wondering what it was and why it had suddenly appeared.
Just then, the glowing thing suddenly stopped.
"boom..."
A loud explosion rang out, and just as the mutated beasts were about to reach the glowing object, a large number of them were blasted into dust, instantly clearing out a large area.
"Boom... Boom..."
One explosion after another rang out, and the people on the city wall stared wide-eyed as the once densely packed horde of mutated beasts was cleared away by some kind of force.
"Roar..." The mutated behemoth roared and accelerated its wriggling speed as it charged forward.
"Ha... one punch."
A voice rang out, and then a yellow figure appeared in the sky, disappearing in a flash.
"Bang..."
The giant mutated beast, which had been writhing continuously, suddenly stopped, and the surrounding beast tide also paused.
"Pfft..."
The giant mutated beast's head exploded, spraying out countless liquids. Then, the beast collapsed like a lump of mud, crushing a large number of mutated beasts.
"Splash..."
As the giant beast fell, the surviving mutated beasts scattered and fled like stray dogs.
"Boom boom boom..."
Just then, many afterimages appeared in the air, followed by a series of explosions on the ground, and even the fleeing mutated beasts could not escape.
As the dust settled, the scene ahead was one of utter devastation. Dozens of enormous craters, like marks left by a meteorite impact, covered the entire battlefield, with the motionless corpse of the giant mutated beast lying in the very center.
"This...this..." General Tiger was so surprised by what he saw that he couldn't speak.
Everyone was the same, unable to calm down for a long time.
The glowing object moved again, heading towards Lion Camel City. Its flickering light pierced through the deathly battlefield, creating an incredibly eerie scene.
"General Tiger, what is that?" someone asked.
"I don't know. Such power is probably beyond even the Demon King's capabilities." General Tiger shook his head.
"Should we...?"
"No, don't move! No one is to make any rash moves. Whoever they are, they are not people we can afford to offend," General Hu hurriedly said.
Everyone agreed, and then continued to look at the light in the distance.
Finally, the light drew closer and closer, and people were surprised to find that it was a huge oxcart, and the luminous thing was actually two lantern-sized orbs of light on the ox's horns.
A bald man dressed in strange clothes sat on the roof of a car, while another man sat on the back of a cow, and a little girl sat in front of the first man.
"It's a person!" General Tiger exclaimed.
"Moo..."
Niu Er suddenly roared, pulling everyone back from their shock.
The oxcart stopped briefly at the city gate, but unfortunately the gate had already been sealed shut and could not be opened.
"Huff!"
Niu Er took a deep breath, then leaped into the air, pulling the oxcart directly into Lion Camel City, where it landed on a pile of ruins.
"Come down with me quickly," General Tiger said hastily.
Everyone quickly jumped off the city wall.
General Hu quickly arrived in front of the oxcart and knelt down, followed by the crowd behind him.
By this time, they had seen Saitama clearly and realized that it was he who had just made the move.
"Thank you for your help, Immortal."
"Thank you, Immortal."
Everyone was incredibly excited. They already regarded Li Daoyi and his group as living immortals, and only in this way could they explain everything that had just happened, even though they were puzzled as to why someone still possessed magical powers.
"Are you in charge here?" Li Daoyi asked.
"Reporting to the Immortal, my name is Hu Yin. I was originally a squad leader in Lion Camel City. I survived the great disaster by chance and was elected as the leader by everyone," General Hu said.
"I see." Li Dao nodded, then looked at the crowd. There were demons and humans, men and women, but no elderly or children. Moreover, these people did not seem to be very strong; even before the great calamity, they were only considered average.
"How many of you are still alive? How did you manage to escape that disaster?" Li Daoyi continued to ask.
General Hu then glanced at the human general beside him.
The man quickly replied.
"Reporting to the Immortal, my name is Li Teng. I was originally a manager in the city, and now I am General Hu's deputy."
"Twenty years ago, after the great disaster struck, some of the city's residents escaped by taking refuge underground in time. The survivors didn't emerge until a month later..."
It turns out that some underground warehouses were built under Lion Camel City, originally for storing supplies. When the disaster struck, several thousand people were moving supplies in the underground warehouses. When the black powder descended, these people were not infected. Upon hearing the commotion above, some people quickly closed the passage and did not get out until a month later.
After they went outside, everyone quickly lost their magic power and became ordinary people, as expected. Fortunately, none of them were infected, as the powder had lost its ability to infect. Later, Hu Yin led a group of people away from Lion Camel City and gathered some survivors from the surrounding area. After counting, there were less than 10,000 living people within a radius of a thousand miles.
These people all fled to Lion Camel City. Over the past twenty years, these 10,000 people have experienced hundreds of battles, large and small, and now only a little over a thousand remain. If it weren't for Li Daoyi and his group, they would not have been able to face that giant beast today.
“Immortal, today’s beast tide is more than ten times larger than usual. If it weren’t for the arrival of you immortals, we wouldn’t have been able to hold it off at all,” said General Tiger.
"Hmm, you guys are quite remarkable, managing to survive until now." Li Daoyi sighed, looking at their sallow and emaciated appearance, he could imagine how they had managed to survive all these years.
"Is there a place to stay here? We plan to rest for a while."
"Yes, yes, there is a well-preserved courtyard right ahead."
General Hu and his companion quickly stepped forward to lead the way, and Niu Er followed directly.
After walking a few steps, Li Daoyi suddenly told Niu Er to stop.
"Mengmeng, give them some food," Li Daoyi said.
"Okay." The little guy nodded, then reached into his magic bag.
"I have flour, you can take it and make your own food," Mengmeng said. Then, to everyone's astonishment, hundreds of bags of flour flew out of the sky and quickly piled up on the ground like a small mountain.
"Here'll give you some more jerky," Mengmeng said, waving her hand again.
"Splash..."
In an instant, countless pieces of jerky rained down from the sky. Mengmeng mischievously threw the jerky at everyone's heads, and seeing the stunned crowd, the little girl couldn't help but laugh.
"Giggle..."
"You're so generous, it's rare to see you like this," Li Daoyi praised, patting Mengmeng's head.
Mengmeng may seem very naughty, but she is actually very kind-hearted. Otherwise, she would never have been willing to take out so much food, given her gluttony.
Let's go.
The oxcart passed the stunned Tiger General and his companion and continued on its way. The two men snapped out of their daze, swallowed hard, gave the others a look signaling them to pack up their things and hurry up and make something to eat, and then hurriedly chased after the cart.
"Lion Camel City? Is this the capital of the Lion Camel Kingdom?" Li Daoyi asked from the back of the ox.
"As you can see, Immortal, it was indeed so. However, after Lion Camel Ridge was destroyed, the Lion Camel Kingdom existed in name only. Later, the Demon Saints sent people to take over this place. Over the past hundred years, it has become a transit point between Northern Ju Lu Continent and Western Niu He Continent. Both the demon race and the human race have lived in peace. It's just a pity..."
"Who is the Demon Saint?" Li Daoyi asked.
"It is Lord Bai Ze," the tiger general said hurriedly.
"I came here with other people back then."
"Do you know anything about the situation in other parts of the demon race?" Li Daoyi asked.
"I don't know. We just traveled a thousand miles away. Later, the number of mutated beasts increased, so we retreated directly back to Lion Camel City." General Tiger shook his head.
Before long, a relatively intact courtyard came into view.
Dongfang Bubai and his companions also got off the train.
It was only then that General Hu and his companion realized there were other people in the carriage.
"Ah..." Xuanliang was startled when he saw General Hu's appearance and hugged his senior brother tightly. It was the first time he had ever seen a demon.
Tiger Yin was somewhat inexplicable.
"I'm sorry, my junior brother has never seen a demon before," Xuanming quickly said.
"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing."
"Please come in, everyone. I'll have someone bring you some food shortly."
"No need, you can keep those things for yourselves. We can manage on our own," Li Daoyi said with a smile. He then went inside.
"this..."
"Don't be so generous. Just because we told you to keep it doesn't mean you should. That little bit of food isn't enough for us to eat." Saitama walked up and said to Kotori.
Little did they know how big Mengmeng and Qiyu's appetites were; they ate as much as they wanted, and the flour and dried meat weren't enough.
The courtyard wasn't large, but it was enough for several people to rest.
Seeing that the two brothers, Xuanming and his disciple, looked like beggars, Li Daoyi took out two Taoist robes and threw them to them.
"Hurry up and wash and change."
"Yes, yes." Xuanming nodded awkwardly, then pulled his junior brother and ran towards the backyard.
"Alright, you can go now. We can talk about it tomorrow." Li Dao waved his hand at Hu Yin and the other man.
The two bowed and left, though they had some questions they wanted to ask, they knew it wasn't the right time.
After the two left, Mengmeng started clamoring for food. Luckily, there was a kitchen nearby, so the two girls went downstairs to make something to eat.
"How do you feel?" Li Daoyi asked Qiyu.
“Those scum are too weak. That big guy barely has the strength of a demon-level being, but it’s too clumsy and has no ability to fight back at all,” Saitama said, scratching his bald head.
Seeing that he didn't seem to have had enough fun, Li Dao was speechless for a moment.
