Before reaching the city, Andy, holding the Demon Blade Zhu Chi and carrying a small backpack, encountered many people living hidden in the mountains.
These people were all very thin and weak.
At first, Andy found it strange; why didn't they go deeper into the forest to hunt? After all, there were many animals in the forest.
However,
when he saw these emaciated, skin-and-bones civilians, he immediately understood that it wasn't that they didn't want to hunt, but that if they did, they would only become prey for wild beasts!
Because the animals in this world were not only fierce but also enormous, often several meters tall and over ten meters long. How could these weak humans contend with them?
"Stop!"
"Hand over all the Berries and food you have on you!"
Just as Andy was distracted, a dozen or so emaciated civilians, clad in ragged clothes and armed with broken iron swords or wooden weapons, blocked his path.
Among them were young men and women, as well as elderly people and children.
Their gazes towards Andy were as green as hungry wolves spotting a plump sheep!
"I'll only say this once: move aside!" Andy said coldly, his eyes indifferent.
As soon as he finished speaking, these civilians immediately felt a powerful aura instantly envelop them.
Their legs began to tremble one by one.
The child in the crowd, frightened, directly threw herself into her family's arms.
The younger ones exchanged glances, seeing the determination in each other's eyes, and then the man standing at the forefront showed a ruthless expression.
"Less nonsense!"
"Leave all your treasures and food behind!" the man said, his eyes fierce.
After his words fell, except for the child, the fear in the hearts of the others dissipated again; hunger had already made them lose their most basic judgment.
It seemed as if they would rush forward if Andy refused them again.
Andy said nothing more; his response was the unsheathing of the Demon Blade Zhu Chi!
The moment the Demon Blade appeared, all the civilians opposite him shivered in unison. All the courage they had just gathered vanished, and even their eyes were once again filled with fear.
"B-big brother, p-please give us something to eat. Niu Niu is so hungry..." Just as Andy was about to act, a tender, weak, yet very clear voice rang out.
Andy looked in the direction of the voice.
It was the girl who had let go of the woman's embrace. This girl was extremely thin; her legs and arms looked as if they were covered only by a layer of skin, and her cheeks were sunken in.
The most heartbreaking thing was that her gaze towards Andy was still full of hope.
The moment his eyes met the girl's, Andy felt a surge of irritation and an inexplicable anger rising within him.
At this moment,
those civilians holding weapons all threw their weapons down and then knelt directly on the ground.
"My lord, please, we haven't eaten for many days."
"Please, we beg you~"
"Wuwuwu~ My lord, please give us something to eat."
"Big brother~"
...
However, just as Andy was about to react, a heart-stopping roar of a beast suddenly came, and even those present felt the vibration caused by the beast's running.
Andy immediately shifted his gaze to the left rear of these civilians.
"Roar!!!"
After two or three breaths, a giant beast, resembling a bull but with wolf-like fangs, towering four or five meters high, sprang out.
And its bloody maw was already biting towards the location of the thin girl who had just spoken!
"Ah!"
"Help!"
"It's a Blood Bull Beast!"
"Wuwuwu!"
...
The moment they saw the Blood Bull Beast, the dozen or so civilians immediately let out terrified screams, then used their remaining strength to scatter and flee.
"Roar!"
The Blood Bull Beast roared again. It was extremely fast, and in the next second, it was about to swallow the little girl and her family who were holding her!
"Pfft!"
At the critical moment, a horrifying sound of something cutting into flesh suddenly rang out.
Immediately after,
the thud of a heavy object hitting the ground made the dozen or so civilians stop in their tracks.
They looked back.
They saw that the head of the terrifying Blood Bull Beast, which had been so dreadful just moments ago, had now been severed and lay on the ground in front of the little girl and her Mama.
Then they looked at the man they had just blocked.
He was now standing not far from Niu Niu, flicking the blood beads off the crimson Demon Blade in his hand, and then sheathing the terrifying Demon Blade.
Their mouths were agape, and their eyes bulged out of their sockets from shock.
But Andy paid no more attention to these people. After sheathing the Demon Blade Zhu Chi, he had already started walking, slowly continuing towards the city.
"H-how amazing!"
"How terrifying!"
"H-he's so powerful, and we just..."
"Why didn't he take the Blood Bull Beast with him?"
"Could it be... he left it for us?"
"No way?"
"Such a large Blood Bull Beast could make enough food for thousands of people!"
"Thank you!"
"My lord, thank you!"
"Wuwuwu~"
"Thank you!"
Seeing that Andy didn't look back, they finally believed that this enormous Blood Bull Beast was truly left for them.
For a moment,
excited shouts of gratitude came from behind Andy.
"Big brother~ Niu Niu, Niu Niu thanks you!" At this moment, the little girl's voice rang out again.
Hearing this voice, Andy suddenly stopped and turned to look at the little girl.
Immediately after, he walked towards the little girl.
Seeing Andy walking towards them, the civilians' hearts leaped again. They kept their mouths tightly shut, not daring to make a sound, afraid that this man was going to take the Blood Bull Beast away.
A few seconds later, Andy stopped in front of the little girl and her Mama.
"M-my lord, Niu Niu, Niu Niu didn't mean to, please don't kill her." Niu Niu's Mama said, hugging Niu Niu tightly. She was very nervous and scared.
However, Andy squatted down.
Like a magician, he conjured a fruit dessert from space and handed it to Niu Niu.
This action shocked everyone present.
Niu Niu didn't dare to take it, but instead looked up at her Mama. Niu Niu's Mama didn't dare to speak, only nodded quickly.
It was then that Niu Niu happily took the dessert from Andy's hand.
"Thank you, big brother." Niu Niu was incredibly happy.
"Eat it now." Andy said coldly.
"Mhm!" Niu Niu immediately responded, then opened her small mouth and quickly finished the dessert.
Only then did Andy stand up and turn to leave.
These dozen or so civilians had witnessed Andy's series of actions, and at this moment, they were shedding tears of gratitude as they watched Andy's departing back.
"Quick!"
"Quickly move the Blood Bull Beast!"
"Hurry!"
These civilians reacted. At this moment, everyone seemed to burst forth with great willpower, quickly dismembering the Blood Bull Beast, and then carrying it all away quickly.
