Chapter 78 - Crisis (2/2)

The unicorns ran especially quickly, and as the group of children shouted and fussed, they had already charged over 100 li away. As expected, Little White lead by a wide margin and waited from way ahead.

“Let’s go hunting. We should show off our strength a bit too,” Huzi suggested.

Xiu Xiu...

Iron arrows streaked past the forest, arousing a large amount of beasts into shouting. After a short moment, the children who rode on the unicorns became startled, as they met a large fellow they were incapable of defeating.

It was as strong as the little guy, and even he was urging Little White to madly escape. Behind them was a spiny beast whose entire body was black, and as it charged out, the incomparably sharp spines on its body reached into the heavens and flicked in black light.

This spiny beast had the head of a Flood Dragon and the body of a hedgehog. It had an alligator’s tail, and its body was an enormous seventy to eighty meters long. It opened its mouth to spout of fire, and immediately melted an entire mountain, causing magma to tumble and roll.

The children’s faces turned green on the spot. They urged their horses to dash madly, and did not dare to be cocky ever again.

The little guy was at the rear, and he took care of the nasally kid and the others. Fortunately, the spiny beast wasn’t very fast, and they shook it off after a short period of time.

“My mom, that was terrifying. When I rode the unicorn outside the village, I thought that I had become a great hero. Right now, it looks like I’m still a little bear who needs a lot more training.”

After escaping over several hundred li away, they stopped. They panted loudly as they still had lingering fear within their hearts.

“Little guy you’re truly something. Such a terrifying mountain range like this and you traversed over 300,000 li of it. That’s truly terrifying!”

They only rode out several hundred li, but they already encountered such a creature. If they were even a bit slower, they would have been swallowed or skinned alive, dying tragic deaths.

“This is nothing. When little elder brother protected me while returning, we saw a ferocious beast as large as a huge mountain that crumbled a mountain with a swipe of its claws.” Qingfeng said.

The children were speechless, and they were in constant admiration.

“Not enough, I have to train bitterly. I have to obtain perfection in the Bone Text and become an expert earlier.” Pi Hou vowed.

Dazhuang, Er Meng, Huzi, nasally kid and the others all nodded. This brief thrilling moment made them realize the importance of power, and they had to exert themselves to struggle and survive.

“Where are we going right now? We’re about six or seven hundred li away from the village. Yi, there’s chimney smoke coming from the mountains there.” Er Meng pointed ahead.

Huzi rolled his eyes and said, “Is your house’s chimney that thick and violent? And is it visible from a mountain away? That’s a fire, let’s go and take a look.”

Over ten unicorns rushed into the mountains ahead like a silver whirlwind. They peered down through the branches of ancient trees, and were immediately shocked.

“That village looks like it could contain over 200 families, but now there’s a house that had been set aflame. The blaze charged into the heavens as black smoke surged.

There weren’t any cries for help from within the village. Apart from the raging flames and thick smoke, it was lifeless.

“Look quickly!” Dazhuang pointed into the distance.

On the flat horizon, there was an enormous figure in the distance, and there were several people riding on fierce beasts. Their hands were holding sharp blades stained with blood as they retreated. Even while separated by such a huge distance, they could sense the thick and evil aura.

“What kind of people are they? Did they destroyed this village?” Dazhuang and the others were shocked as they felt a chill in the air.

The little guy did not say a single word as he stared at that enormous figure. It was a vicious beast that had flickering symbols on the surface of its body, and it was currently being worshiped by the surrounding group of people. He felt that it was highly likely that it was a Guardian Spirit.

Only when that vicious beast and that group of people disappeared did the children begin looking at each other.

“Let’s go down and take a look.”

They rode on their unicorns and charged downwards. Just as they arrived at the village, they smelt the stench of blood piercing their nostrils. They walked forward and what their eyes saw was an appalling sight.

Corpses were laid atop each other in a pile of blood. There were old and gray haired elders whose heads have been chopped off and thrown onto the side of the road, and there were children in the early stages of infancy that were killed and beheaded along with their mothers.

“Too malicious. They did not even let the elderly and children go.”

When the children saw this wretched sense, they shivered all over as they were overcome by extreme anger; how could these people be so inhumane? Why did those people so maliciously murder even the weak women, children and elders who had no way of resisting?

Some of the children’s eyes turned red, and they could not help but weep.

“What kind of people were these? How could they do such a thing?”

The large fire burnt on, and all the buildings were set ablaze. A fierce resistance had occurred in the eastern part of the village, and that was where a group of able-bodied men fought. However, they all became corpses and died wretched deaths, and even their weapons were snapped and broken.

“Ya, this is the village’s Guardian Spirit. It’s been killed.” A child astonishingly said.

In the center of the village, there was an altar with a huge beast that looked like a lion with eight legs. Furthermore, it also had a pair of black ox horns on it. Its body was bloodied as it fell beside the altar, and half of its body had been bitten clean. Even the primitive precious bones within its body had disappeared.

“That vicious beast that just left ate half of its body.” The children were scared since even a Guardian Spirit unexpectedly became food.

Flames rushed into the heavens within this village, and even the streets were roasted. The unicorns were a bit fidgety, and did not wish to stay here any longer.

Suddenly, a feeble groan of a old and gray haired elder echoed through. His belly had been split open as his blood and intestines spilt onto the floor. However, to one’s surprise, he was still breathing.

“Old grandpa!”

The children jumped off their unicorns and quickly squatted down to checked on his injuries. However, they were immediately startled, because with such fatal injuries, hehad no way of living.

“Such hatred… That group of people were too merciless… They did not even let children who several months old go as they massacred everyone in our village.” The old man grievingly cried.

Not far away, several children were thrown dead on the ground. Such cruelty was difficult to look at, and it made people’s hair stand up.

“Who are they? Why did they do this?” Huzi asked.

“They’re a group of vicious bandits who suddenly appeared. They came here once and demanded for our black gold. The deadline had been reached, so we had to hand things over. However in the end, they massacred our entire village, including our Guardian Spirit,” replied the elder while crying. He was already so old, but his gray hair was sticky with blood, and his tears making people feel sad and angry.

“Wuwu, hatred…” These were the old man’s last words, and his life immediately reached its end. A single tear hung on his face, and as it dropped down, he no longer moved.

In the end, the children left and headed back. The flames gradually diminished, and the entire village was turned into an area of scorched black ruins.

Their moods were incredibly gloomy, and they were no longer in the mood for any hunting. They rode their unicorns to quickly return to Stone Village as they relayed this information to the adults.

“Could it be those people… A crisis is coming.” A village elder coughed as he put his hands on his chest. He thought back to the matter during those years when a group of their men wandered the world together, yet only one escaped with their life in the end.

“Grandpa chief, who are they? What are they here for?” The little guy asked.

“They’re a group of terrifying people, who came for the sake of...searching for a Supreme God’s treasure.” The elder sighed with his face full of worry as he gazed into the distant earth.
