Chapter 87: No Way Out, Settling in the Outer City
"The human race's body is so weak, and it is really unfair that such a weak race is the leader of all spirits. Now that the world is in a state of great strife, I have awakened my spiritual wisdom and should seize the initiative to change the master of this world."

Da Hu walked over to a villager lying on the ground, one of his thighs was still intact.

With a cold look in its eyes and a bloody mouth opened wide, it tore off the entire thigh, then slowly sat down and began to lick the thigh, enjoying this delicious meal.

With every lick, its tongue scrapes off a layer of flesh, making a hissing sound.

The village was filled with a strong smell of blood and a strange fishy wind.

"It's so comfortable... I heard that the human race likes my whip and says it's a mountain delicacy. I'll catch some people next time and see if they really like it..."

……

On the mountain road, many villagers who left Hongshan Village walked with confused looks on their faces.

Some villagers started to regret as soon as they left.

"My dear father, why don't we just stay here? I've thought about it and realized that no place like home is better than ours. The government officials haven't come yet. When they come and insist on holding us accountable, it won't be too late for us to escape to the mountains."

A woman in the crowd was talking to her man.

The man of the household next to her, carrying a heavy load of belongings, said nothing.

"You should say something."

"I've already left, I'm not going back."

"..."

When there was no external pressure, many people's minds became active, and the same problems began to appear in several other families.

"Roar……"

Just when everyone's decision began to waver, a tiger's roar came from afar.

The tiger's roar shook the earth and the rolling sound was like thunder, as if the roar of an ancient beast was echoing in the ears, making people's heart palpitate.

Everyone stopped and looked back.

"It seems to have come from our Hongshan Village."

Someone identified the location of the roar and looked confused.

Shen Qing, who was walking at the front of the team, called Tian Xiaohu and said, "Take a few people back to the village to see what's going on. Be careful."

"Okay, you two come with me."

Tian Xiaohu put down the belongings he brought from home, took only a bow, randomly picked two young men from the Tian family, and hurried back to the location of Hongshanzhai.

Shen Qing found a suitable place and rested there.

They had not been away from Hongshan Village for very long, and had only walked two or three miles.

With the speed of Tian Xiaohu and his men, they were back to the gate of Hongshan Village in less than a moment.

"It smells so bloody, something is wrong. Let's not go into the village, but go to the mountains and check out the situation in the village from the high ground."

Tian Xiaohu had a very sensitive nose and became alert immediately after noticing anything unusual.

Several people followed Tian Xiaohu to a high place in the forest.

The view here is wide and one can overlook the entire Hongshan Village. They used to take a rest here when they went hunting.

When he reached the corresponding position and pushed aside the branches, Tian Xiaohu was shocked to see the bloody scene in the village.

Not only him, but also several young men from the Tian family who came with him were all frightened.

They could see clearly that a big tiger was holding a thigh and chewing it with relish.

All the remaining people in the village died.

Looking at the figure floating behind the tiger, they were even more frightened.

Oh my god! It really is a demon tiger!

At this moment, they suddenly felt relieved.

If they had not left just now, they would have been the ones lying in a pool of blood.

"Let's go back quickly and tell Qingzi and the others about this."

Tian Xiaohu retracted his gaze and said in panic.

The young man from the Tian family who came with him did not dare to stay long and left in a hurry.

For fear of disturbing the demon tiger, Tian Xiaohu carefully circled around and stayed away from the village.

It took them some effort to reach the mountain path and run all the way.

Tian Xiaohu panted and said: "The demon tiger is coming, and everyone left in the village is dead!"

The bad news was like a bolt from the blue that rang through the ears of the villagers of Hongshan Village. The more frightened they became, the more they felt that their actions of leaving the village were very heroic and timely, which verified the guess Shen Qing had told them.

The many villagers who had just been clamoring to go back were now as silent as quails.

Although they were lucky enough to escape, they knew in their hearts that they could not go back and had no way out.

The place where the tiger monster is lurking is no longer suitable for living for hunters like them.

The atmosphere on the mountain road suddenly became depressing.

Shen Qing, who was walking in front of the team, did not say anything to comfort them. He remained calm and composed. After everyone had digested the news, he said, "Go into the city."

His words weren't harsh, or even loud.

Even so, these words were like a hook, hooking everyone together and pulling them towards Taiping County.

The two gurgling machines on the horse-drawn carriage and the donkey-drawn cart started turning again, making a squeaking sound.

The people in Hongshan Village walked forward in a daze.

The weather today is very good.

There are no clouds in the sky, and the sky is clear and blue.

Under normal circumstances, Shen Qing would only take about an hour to get there with his cart.

After bringing people along, the speed slowed down a lot.

It took them almost three hours, from before noon to dusk, to reach the edge of the outer city of Taiping County.

Most of the villagers in Hongshan Village have never traveled far, and even rarely come to Taiping County.

I'm very unfamiliar with this place.

They subconsciously turned all their attention to Shen Qing.

Shen Qing walked in front and shouted, "Young and old men, take out your bows and arrows, weapons, and stand outside. Women and children, walk inside the team. I will take you to occupy a place."

There was no rebuttal, no questioning.

There was a noisy movement in the team, as hunters rummaged through boxes and cabinets looking for something that suited them.

After a long time, he was able to stand out roughly as Shen Qing had arranged.

Seeing that everything was almost ready, Shen Qing led sixty or seventy people from Hongshan Village and headed towards the outer city.

These people gathered together, holding weapons in their hands, looking ferocious and ferocious, and it seemed that they were not easy to mess with.

Even though many people along the way were curious, no one had the courage to go up and ask.

After passing through the familiar Qiguai Alley, we arrived at an alley leading to a shantytown.

After Shen Qing identified the location, he walked in.

The others followed closely.

This area was the original nest of the Huangtian Sect, and many people lived there.

Because of the Yellow Tianshi incident, the people living here were interfered with by the government and some died or fled, leaving many empty houses.

Just enough for them to stay.

Shen Qing went in and looked around. He found that everything in many houses had been looted, leaving only empty sheds.

More than 20 days have passed, and some houses have been occupied by homeless vagrants or neighbors, but most of them are still vacant.

They can live there even if they squeeze together.

Just get started first, and you can take your time with the rest.

Now is not the time to be picky.

The villagers of Hongshanzhai were very happy. They didn't expect that they would actually have a place to stay.

Shen Qing didn't have to worry about anything, as everyone was busy with their work.

This time, Shen Qing brought the people from Hongshanzhai into the shantytown, which made quite a big noise. He guessed that there would be some trouble later.

But he didn't expect that this would come so soon.

That night, just as he had settled down and packed up, a subordinate who called himself Brother Biao kicked open the door of his house.
