"Natsu......" Qin Xiu shouted at Natsu, who was munching on something.

After hearing Qin Xiu's voice behind him, Natsu turned his head to look at the door, and suddenly found the people who were looking at him.

"Woo woo woo woo" Natsu, who was full of food, shouted at Qin Xiu and his party, but everyone didn't understand a word of what he said.

"You swallow the food before you ......," Gray had black lines on his head.

Natsu took a few bites of the food in her mouth, then swallowed it and smiled at the crowd, "Everyone has arrived."

"We've been here for a long time, how long have you been eating......" Elusa said speechlessly.

"From the time when Ashu and Sikia left," Natsu said dryly.

"You've been eating for a whole hour, and you guys don't even bring any money with you, do you want to eat and drink with us?" Elusa looked at Natsu with a gloomy face.

"Well, I just forgot to bring it," Natsu chuckled dryly when she saw Elusa's gloomy expression.

"It's nothing, Natsu has been hungry for two days, just let him eat" Qin Xiu said with a smile.

"Well, Natsu is understandable, let's eat first, and we have to leave in the afternoon," Mirajan said.

"Alright, Natsu, I'll let you go for the time being" Elusa glared at Natsu and walked to another table and sat down.

Then, except for Qin Xiu and Siqiya, everyone else sat on the chairs.

"Ah Xiu, Xiaoya, don't you eat?" Lucy wondered when she saw that the two of them hadn't sat down.

"We've all eaten, no need" Qin Xiu shook his head and said, "You can order whatever you want to eat, Xiaoya and I have something to go out, and I'll settle the bill later" Qin Xiu said.

"That's right," Lucy nodded.

"Then you should come back soon," Mirajan continued.

"Hmm," Qin Xiu nodded and looked at Siqiya, "Let's go."

Then Qin Xiu and Siqiya walked out of the hotel and disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

Off the street

Siqiya looked at Qin Xiu and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just want you to pay attention to it, don't take the initiative to tear up today's lies," Qin Xiu looked at Siqiya and said.

"Is that what it's all about?" asked Squia.

"Hmm" Qin Xiu nodded.

"You care a lot, don't you?" Siqiya's eyes stared straight into Qin Xiu's eyes.

"Do you care?" Qin Xiu was stunned.

"Well, I care, I care about Mirazhen......" Sikia nodded slightly.

Qin Xiu looked at Siqiya and fell silent, lowered his head slightly, paused for a while, and then raised his head to look at Siqiya, "Indeed, whether it is Mira or anyone else, I care the same, it is a friendship between companions, no matter what happens, if you can trust each other, I don't want to have a second lie this time" Qin Xiu said slowly.

Siqiya looked at Qin Xiu's serious expression and nodded slowly, "I know."

"Xiaoya, thank you," Qin Xiu chuckled softly.

"No, I'm going back to your hotel, I don't want to go to the Forest of Miracles, so you can find another reason to perfunctory them," Siqia said without looking back.

"Uh......" Qin Xiu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Siqiya's figure gradually moving away and became depressed.

After Siqiya's figure completely disappeared into the crowd, Qin Xiu shook his head helplessly, and then turned around and walked towards the hotel.

In front of a pastry shop, an animal cart slowly stopped

Then Monley and Shunoa jumped out of the car.

Meng Li pointed to the pastry shop next to him and smiled, "Shunaya, look, isn't that Aunt Kama?"

Shunaya looked in the direction that Monley was pointing and suddenly saw a slightly chubby middle-aged woman wearing an apron busy in the store.

"Really, Aunt Kama......" Shunaya immediately cried out when she saw the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman in the store turned her head to look at the source of the sound after hearing some familiar sounds outside the store, and was taken aback when she saw Meng Li and Shuna waving at her, and quickly put down the work in her hand and ran out while talking.

"Monli, Shunaa, why are you two here, and what about your parents?" asked Kama, looking around but not finding anyone else.

"They're still in the ground," Shunaa began.

"What, in the field?" Karma was taken aback, "So you two came by yourself?"

"Hmm," Munley nodded.

"Why are you two so bold, what if something happens on the way for the time being, and so are your parents, how can you two be relieved to let the two of you go into the city alone?" Kama scolded with a frown.

Hearing Karma scold the two of them, Shunaya quieted down, but he hadn't forgotten what had happened on the road when he came.

And Meng Li Mo laughed softly, "Aren't we all right, Mom and Dad, they don't have time, so the two of us came alone" Meng Li glanced at Shuna and took cover.

"What are you doing in town?" asked Kama.

"We're here to buy a birthday cake, Aunt Kama, you're in town, there's no way to buy it, so we have to come ourselves," said Monley.

"Birthday cake?" Karma was stunned, "By the way, Monley, your birthday is almost here, I forgot about it" Kama suddenly remembered after stopping Monley's words.

"Really, why didn't you inform me in advance, or I would have stayed in the village for the time being and made cakes for you, and you wouldn't have to run so far," Kama said.

"It's okay," said Monley, shaking his head, "then Aunt Kama, can you make the cake now, we have to go back today" Monley asked.

"Alright then, come in, what kind of cake do you want?" asked Karma.

"Fruit cows," said Monley.

"As for the fruit cows, you can wait an hour," said Aunt Kama, and walked towards the shop.

"Hmm" Monley nodded, looking at Shunoa and motioning to enter.

Then the two walked into the pastry shop.

"Nala, hurry up and get ready to make a fruit cow birthday cake, this is from the village, remember to make a little better" Kama shouted into the shop.

…………

At this time, in a village five kilometers south of Los Caya

The houses in the village were dilapidated and on fire, the ground was in shambles, some of the villagers had fallen to the ground, the ground beneath them was stained red, it was the color of blood, and the blood was still wet, as if it had just happened.

In the middle of the village, two strange people were standing.

"All the humans in this village are dead," said a man with orange hair, who was a little dark-skinned and dressed stylishly.

"Well, I have more necromantic subjects," said another person next to the orange-haired man, who was holding an ornate staff, wearing a black mage suit that covered his neck and left only a head, and his head was wearing a hat, and it was worth noting that his face was a skeletal face, but I didn't know what it looked like when surrounded by his mage suit.

"These humans are really weak," said the orange-haired hat, a little dissatisfied.

The man took a breath into the air, "Ah, I smell the smell of human flesh being roasted......"

"You've ruined my experiment," the skeletal face said as he looked at the man.

"Who told me to come with you, that's how my spell is," the man smiled as he looked at the skeletal face.

"Go to the next village," Skull Face said.

"What? I've already accompanied you to five human villages," the man was taken aback.

"Who told you to blow up, if you don't blow up my experiments, there won't be so few, and I only collected more than fifty corpses in two days," the skull face said, glancing at the man.

"Okay, okay, next time I'll pay attention, I'll definitely leave you more intact corpses," the man said helplessly.

"Alright, put my body away first, and then move on to the next target," Skeleton Face said, and walked over to the nearest corpse of a villager.

"What's next?" the man shouted as he saw Skeletal Face move.

"There's a human magic relicken village in this place, let's go there," the skull-face's voice came.

"It's a place with few people, and I want to go to a human city to make a big fuss," the man shouted.

"Have you forgotten Hades's orders?" the skull-faced voice continued.

"How is it possible, I'm just thinking about it," the man said helplessly.

"Stop talking nonsense, help me pick up the corpses" Skullface's voice came again.

"Pick up the corpse...... It's so disgusting to act with you," the man was a little depressed.

Although the man complained a little, he still picked up the corpse with Skull Face, and the man found an intact corpse and threw it to Skull Face, who touched the body with the staff in his hand and disappeared directly, and the two of them walked back and forth in the ruined village.

From the conversation between the two just now, it seems that these two people are the ones who slaughtered this village, and they will continue to slaughter the next village.

―――――――――――

North of the city of Los Caya

There was a group of people standing here at this time.

"Everyone have brought what they have prepared," Elusa asked, looking at the crowd.

Everyone nodded, and after seeing everyone's reaction, Elusa nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, we are ready to leave for the Forest of Miracles"

"Alright, let's go......" Natsu jumped excitedly, his belly was round, and it seemed that he desperately needed something to vent the food energy in his body.

The crowd looked at Natsu speechlessly, "I don't know how he has so much food in his stomach," Lucy Khan said.

Then the crowd set out for the Forest of Miracles.

"Ah Xiu, Xiaoya, is she really not coming?" Mirazhen asked as she walked next to Qin Xiu.

"Well, she's not going," Qin Xiu nodded lightly.

"Why don't you go, Lige Village is also her home, right?" Natsu turned his head to look at Qin Xiu.

"Because of this, she didn't want to go," Qin Xiu said.

"Has Xiaoya been in before?" asked Elusa.

"Well, I went in, and she said that she basically couldn't see anything inside, so she didn't want to go, but Xiaoya told me the route, so I won't look for it slowly this time," Qin Xiu said.

"That's not bad, Xiaoya, she doesn't want to come, forget it, anyway, there is the right route, you can save the time of searching," Elusa said.

"And how long will it take to get to the ruins of Lige Village?" asked Gray.

"It's nearly fifteen kilometers away from Lige Village, and because of the forest, it may take ten hours to get there," Qin Xiu said.

"Looks like we need to spend the night in the Forest of Miracles, are you really getting things ready? It's cold to spend the night in the forest," Elusa said, looking at the crowd.

"It's over, I didn't bring a sleeping bag......" Lucy was depressed after hearing this.

"Me too......" Wendy followed.

"What is cold, don't care about that cold," Gray said unconcernedly.

"You don't care if you use ice," Lucy said speechlessly.

"Use mine" Qin Xiu said, "I have a relatively complete belt, and Natsu, your quilt is also given to Lucy and Wendy"

"No problem......" Natsu replied with a nod.

"Mira, have you brought it all?" Qin Xiu asked as he looked at Mirazhen.

"I brought it, but give my sleeping bag to Wendy, I have the flame of life to protect my body, and a little cold has no effect on me at all," said Mirajan.

"Elusa, you don't seem to have much with you......" Lucy asked, looking at Elusa.

"It doesn't matter to me if it's cold, besides, Ashu's armor has a very good warmth function," Elusa touched the armor on her body.

"I've always wanted to ask what's going on with this armor, how can it be Ah Xiu's?" Lucy looked at Qin Xiu suspiciously.

"This is a protective suit I bought to prevent needle bees, and Elusa liked it when she saw it, so I gave it to Elusa," Qin Xiu explained.

"Well, this armor is really good, although it hinders some movements, but there is no problem for me, this armor is the warmest of all my armor, and the style is also very good" Elusa looked at herself with satisfaction as she was wearing a special black leather suit.

"Is that so......" Lucy was speechless as she heard Elusa's words.
