Before reaching the city, Alvin, holding the Demon Blade Chronicle and carrying a small backpack, encountered many people hiding and living in the mountains.
These people were extremely thin and weak.
At first, Alvin found it strange. Why did they not go deeper into the forest to hunt? After all, there were plenty of animals in the mountains.
However,
when he saw these emaciated civilians who were nothing but skin and bones, he immediately understood. It was not that they did not want to hunt, but that if they tried, they would only become prey for wild beasts.
The animals in this world were not only ferocious but also enormous, often several meters tall and more than ten meters long. How could such weak humans possibly contend with creatures like that?
"Stop!"
"Hand over all the Berries and food you have!"
Just as Alvin was thinking about this, more than a dozen starving civilians suddenly appeared and blocked his path.
They were dressed in tattered clothing and carried broken iron swords or crude wooden weapons.
Among them were young men and women, as well as elderly people and even children.
Their eyes were fixed on Alvin like hungry wolves staring at a fat sheep.
"I will only say this once. Move aside." Alvin said coldly, his gaze completely indifferent.
The moment his words fell, these civilians immediately felt a powerful pressure descend upon them.
One by one their legs began to tremble.
The child in the group, frightened by the terrifying aura, immediately threw herself into her family's arms.
The younger people exchanged glances with each other. They saw the same determination reflected in each other's eyes, and the man standing at the front revealed a ruthless expression.
"Enough nonsense!"
"Leave all your valuables and food behind!" the man shouted fiercely.
After his words, except for the child, the fear in the hearts of the others gradually faded again. Hunger had already destroyed their most basic sense of judgment.
It seemed that if Alvin refused again, they would rush forward without hesitation.
Alvin said nothing more.
His response was simply to draw the Demon Blade Chronicle.
The moment the Demon Blade appeared, every civilian on the opposite side shivered.
All the courage they had barely gathered vanished instantly, and their eyes were once again filled with fear.
"B big brother... please give us something to eat. Jasmine is so hungry..." Just as Alvin was about to act, a weak and tender voice rang out clearly.
Alvin turned his gaze toward the voice.
It was the little girl who had just let go of the woman's embrace.
The girl was extremely thin. Her arms and legs were little more than bones wrapped in skin, and her cheeks were deeply sunken.
Yet the most heartbreaking thing was that when she looked at Alvin, her eyes were still filled with hope.
The moment their eyes met, Alvin felt a burst of irritation and an inexplicable anger rise inside his chest.
At that moment,
the civilians who had been holding weapons suddenly threw them to the ground.
Then they all knelt directly on the earth.
"My lord, please. We have not eaten for many days."
"Please, we beg you!"
"Wuwuwu... my lord, please give us something to eat."
"Big brother..."
...
However, just as Alvin was about to react, a terrifying beast roar suddenly echoed from the distance.
Even the ground beneath their feet trembled from the creature's heavy footsteps.
Alvin immediately turned his gaze toward the rear left side behind the civilians.
"ROAR!"
After only two or three breaths, a gigantic beast suddenly rushed out.
It resembled a bull but possessed long wolf-like fangs. The monster stood four or five meters tall.
Its enormous bloody mouth was already lunging toward the thin girl who had just spoken.
"Ah!"
"Help!"
"It's a Blood Bull Beast!"
"Wuwuwu!"
...
The moment they recognized the Blood Bull Beast, the dozen civilians immediately screamed in terror.
They used the last of their strength to scatter and flee in all directions.
"ROAR!"
The Blood Bull Beast roared again. Its speed was terrifying.
In the next instant it was about to devour the little girl and the family members protecting her.
"Pfft!"
At the most critical moment, the horrifying sound of flesh being cut apart suddenly echoed through the air.
Immediately afterward,
the heavy thud of something crashing to the ground made the fleeing civilians stop.
They turned around.
What they saw left them completely stunned.
The terrifying Blood Bull Beast that had been charging just moments earlier now had its head completely severed.
Its massive head rolled across the ground and stopped in front of the little girl and her mother.
Then they looked toward the man they had tried to rob.
Alvin was standing not far from Jasmine, calmly flicking the blood droplets from the crimson Demon Blade in his hand before slowly sheathing the terrifying weapon.
Their mouths hung open.
Their eyes widened so much that they almost popped out of their sockets.
But Alvin paid them no further attention.
After sheathing the Demon Blade Chronicle, he had already begun walking away, slowly continuing toward the city.
"H how amazing..."
"H how terrifying..."
"H he is 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 huge Blood Bull Beast could feed thousands of people!"
"Thank you!"
"My lord, thank you!"
"Wuwuwu..."
"Thank you!"
When they realized Alvin did not even look back, they finally believed that the enormous Blood Bull Beast had truly been left for them.
For a moment,
excited cries of gratitude echoed behind Alvin.
"Big brother... Jasmine... Jasmine thanks you!" The little girl's voice rang out once more.
Hearing this voice, Alvin suddenly stopped.
He slowly turned around and looked at the little girl.
Then he began walking back toward her.
When the civilians saw him coming back, their hearts immediately jumped into their throats.
Everyone shut their mouths tightly and did not dare make a single sound.
They were afraid that this terrifying man had changed his mind and was going to take the Blood Bull Beast away.
A few seconds later, Alvin stopped in front of the little girl and her mother.
"M my lord... Jasmine did not mean anything by it. Please do not kill her." Jasmine's mother said nervously as she held the girl tightly in her arms.
She was extremely frightened.
But Alvin slowly crouched down.
Like a magician performing a trick, he suddenly took out a fruit dessert from his spatial storage and handed it to Jasmine.
This action stunned everyone present.
Jasmine did not dare take it immediately. Instead she looked up at her mother.
Her mother did not dare say anything and only nodded quickly.
Only then did Jasmine happily take the dessert from Alvin's hand.
"Thank you, big brother." Jasmine said with great joy.
"Eat it now." Alvin said coldly.
"Mhm!" Jasmine responded immediately.
She opened her small mouth and quickly finished the dessert.
Only after watching her finish did Alvin stand up and turn around to leave.
The dozen civilians had witnessed everything Alvin had done.
At this moment, tears streamed down their faces as they watched his departing figure.
"Quick!"
"Move the Blood Bull Beast quickly!"
"Hurry!"
The civilians suddenly came back to their senses.
At this moment everyone seemed to be filled with new strength.
They quickly began cutting apart the Blood Bull Beast and carrying the meat away as fast as possible.
