Chapter 72 The Corrupted Species

Wei Shu looked up and saw that it was Yan Zhou, and nodded gratefully.

Yan Zhou nodded: "Proceed carefully."

After crossing the stream, the cries for help got closer and louder.

The place where the sound came from was covered by shrubs. Liang Qing took out the machete prepared in his bracelet and held the handle tightly————

Split the bushes.

The scene in front of them surprised everyone.

I saw a few people in linen clothes lying in a pool of blood, their abdomens were festered, and their intestines were bleeding all over the place, quite bloody.

Looking at another place, a young girl is huddled in the corner of the wooden cart, with scattered fruits under her feet.

And what was slowly approaching her was...

Yan Zhou's pupils shrank.

It turned out to be a monkey!
Different from the monkey with a friendly face before, this monkey was covered in blood, with black mist in its eyes, staring at the girl eeriely.

It raised its sharp claws, drooled from its mouth, and approached the girl with salivation.

The girl covered her head and shouted helplessly: "Help! Someone help me..."

The monkey grinned, just as it was about to pounce.A transparent long sword shining white light pierced its head.

The monkey swayed for a moment, then fell softly to the ground.

Withdrawing his sword intention, Yan Zhou walked towards the girl.

The girl curled up and didn't dare to move. She had already given herself a death notice in her heart, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no pain.

She heard a sigh, a clear and pleasant sound like the sound of harp strings, sounding in front of her:

"never mind."

The girl stiffened and slowly raised her head.

What they saw was a group of strange people in strange clothes. They were immediately startled and moved their buttocks back.

Liang Qing seemed to have guessed something, opened the helmet to reveal his face, and comforted:
"Don't be afraid, we are people coming in from the outside, and we don't have any harm... Are you a resident of this secret... um... place?"

The girl's dark brown eyes moved, and she stared at Liang Qing without blinking, as if trying to discern the truth from what he said.

Her rough and dark hands were curled together, obviously frightened.

"I live here, the Horde is nearby..."

After a few minutes, the girl spoke, her voice hoarse as if she had swallowed sand in her mouth.

Song Ye couldn't bear it, took out a bottle of water from the bracelet, twisted it open and handed it to her.

The girl was startled, took the water and said "thank you".

But she didn't drink, but her nerves relaxed, and she continued:

"Today...the patriarch asked us...to go to the mountain to offer food. We met the fallen species on the way...and then..."

She glanced at her disemboweled companions, her voice choked with sobs: "I walked at the back... and saw that they were all eaten."

Yan Zhou was surprised: "Have you eaten?"

The girl nodded: "Degenerate species specialize in eating human hearts."

After all, her eyes darkened: "It must be that we were late this time... the mountain god was angry, and sent the fallen species to punish us."

This sentence contains too much information, and Yan Zhou listened to Dongguan Liao's voice before he could savor it carefully:
"That monkey, melted."

Yan Zhou turned around.

The corpse of the monkey that originally fell to the ground began to deflate at some point. Black water continued to gush out of it, and the stench filled his nostrils.

Liang Qing was so disgusted by the smell that she quickly put on a mask.

Liu Qian suggested: "Teacher, let's leave here first."

Wen Ke also echoed: "Yeah, I always feel that there will still be that kind of monster here."

……

The girl's name is Alan. When she was 16 years old, her parents died, so she was raised by the elders of the ethnic group. The same was true for her companions who had just died.

On the way to the tribe, Yan Zhou and Alan chatted.

"You just said that your tribe enshrines the mountain god, and the fallen species were sent by the mountain god?"

Alan shook his head quickly: "You can't say that! Without the mountain god, we would have died a long time ago. It was because we did not send the tribute to the mountain in time, which made the mountain god angry."

The girl's words were sincere and her eyes were filled with conviction.

Yan Zhou raised his eyebrows, skipped the topic, and started asking about the Alan tribe.

Alan smiled and replied: "The patriarch is the most respected person in our clan. Without him, we orphans would not be able to survive until now."

After a pause, she added: "Thanks to the patriarch, the fallen species swept the world. If the patriarch had not found the mountain god to protect us, we would have perished in their mouths."

"So you don't have to be nervous. The clan leader is very kind and will definitely welcome you."

After walking for about three to 10 minutes, the terrain became more and more flat, and the group finally saw the shadow of a thatched cottage.

"Who is it?!"

Several young and middle-aged men rushed out of the grass with wooden spears, staring at them warily.

When he saw Alan, his expression was slightly relaxed, but he was still cautious, and the leading man asked:
"Alan, who are they?"

Alan replied: "Brother Huzi, they are my saviors. Archie and I met the fallen species when we went to the mountains to deliver tributes..."

Speaking of this, she showed sadness: "Except for me, everyone else died. Fortunately, they helped me, otherwise I would die too..."

When they heard about fallen species, the expressions of several men changed drastically: "Have you met a fallen species?!"

Alan cried and nodded.

Hu Zi was silent, and said: "Let's go back to the tribe first."

Across the flat yellow land, thatched huts are dotted sporadically on the ground without vegetation.In front of the thatched hut, there are women holding bone needles to make sackcloth or grind grain.

The children in the open space were playing and playing very carefree.

This peaceful atmosphere... No one could relate this to the disgusting and terrifying degenerates outside.

Alan took them to a relatively remote thatched cottage.

The door was very low, and Yan Zhou had to bend over to get in. Since the light mecha was relatively heavy, sitting on the chair was worried that it would collapse, so everyone sat on the ground.

When Alan saw it, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face:
"Sorry, I don't have any good furniture in my room, just wait... I'll pour you some wheat tea."

After that, she turned and went into a compartment, and came out with a kettle after a while.

She handed the cup full of tea to Yan Zhou.

Yan Zhou took it with both hands politely.

He looked down at the yellowed tea, and there were a few wheat grains floating at the bottom.

Seeing Yan Zhou take a sip, Alan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There is nothing valuable at home, and barley tea is considered a very good drink for her.

"Wang Wang!"

A little yellow dog got in through the crack of the door.

Wen Ke said in surprise: "Hey! You have a puppy at home!"

He rushed over.

Alan saw the yellow puppy's belly turned up comfortably after being touched, and smiled:

"Laifu is very lively. He will run back from outside when he sees the guests."

Yan Zhou said: "Your tribe seems to be living well."

Compared with those slums in the outer districts where they can only eat poisonous food, here, not counting the dangers outside, at least they have no worries about food and clothing.

Alan was stunned, and then his eyebrows and eyes were melancholy: "It's not bad..."

Someone knocked on the door outside.

"Alan! The patriarch wants to meet those outsiders."
