The first year of the Sacred Calendar, April 16

Looking at the corpse of the huge brute beast at the entrance of the cave, Bailixiong was a little depressed.

The woman did not break her promise, and before the homeless people were all awake, she had already hunted and killed an edible third-level beast soldier out of nowhere, left the body in the cave, and then quietly left the cave with the man.

With this third-level beast soldier, Bailixiong's team could get food that could support everyone for four or five days, which was nearly ten times more than the food that was distributed to the women at the beginning.

In just two days, the woman not only provided protection to the homeless, but also solved the problem of insufficient food, these facts are very clear to everyone, but at this time, when they found that the woman left, everyone began to feel a little uneasy.

Without a strong woman, how can a team of displaced people with only Bailixiong, a soldier-level high-level ability, be able to reach the border of the White Tiger Domain?

"Alright, let's deal with this brute beast quickly, lest it attract danger. Bai Lixiong spoke.

He knew the uneasiness in everyone's hearts, but the fact that women wanted to leave, but no one could stop them, and now they could only embark on a dangerous road again, hoping that the god of abandoning the boat would be able to send down a little favor.

The corpse of the beast eventually became the food in the baggage of the homeless, and the bones were dragged into the depths of the cave and buried, and then everyone set off again in a dull atmosphere, walking in the direction of the east.

April was supposed to be early spring, but it was still a cool time in the White Tiger Domain, and the frost covered the earth, and it would only dissolve at noon, causing the speed of the homeless team to not become faster, so they could only bend over and walk in fear, praying that they would not encounter brute beasts.

Xu is prayer to the god of abandoning the boat has come true, and most of the days have passed, and Bailixiong and his party really did not encounter danger.

Looking at the sky, it was already dusk, and the afterglow had not yet dispersed, but there were only a few wisps of residual light.

"Brother Baili, there seems to be a forest over there, it used to be a human stronghold around here, maybe we can go there tonight?" a homeless man pointed southeast to Bailixiong.

Bailixiong squinted and looked in that direction, but the eyesight of the senior soldier saw a blurry green shadow, so he nodded and called out to everyone.

The group of outcasts changed their direction slightly, heading towards the woods.

The demon beasts that invaded the White Tiger Domain are far from the living habits of humans, since the battle of White Tiger City, the beast tide has receded and occupied the territory of the empire outside the first-level defense line, but most of the locations for the construction of gathering areas are the ruins of the original human towns and cities, and most of the strongholds between the towns and cities are deserted after being breached, probably not meeting the requirements of the demon beasts.

After surviving in the White Tiger Domain for several months, Bai Lixiong also knew a lot about these details, so after hearing the existence of a stronghold in front of him, he decisively chose to go, after all, even if it was an abandoned stronghold, it was also an excellent resting place for their group of homeless people, not to mention that it was possible to find some materials from it, if they could find weapons and armor, it would greatly improve the survivability of the homeless team.

A moment later, the team approached the woods.

The woods are dominated by several species of evergreens, and in April they also show a dark blue color, and at this moment countless are rattling in the cold wind, but there is no trace of brute beasts.

It looks like it's safe!

Baili Ambition was overjoyed, so he gestured to his companion behind him, and groped towards the stronghold in the woods with due vigilance.

Hundreds of paces away, the outcasts saw the outline of the stronghold through the trees, and although it was dilapidated, there were still houses erected.

At this time, the setting sun had dispersed, and the stronghold under the starlight was very silent, only the rustle of the cool breeze blowing.

"Okay, we'll rest here tonight......"

Whoosh!

"Everyone, don't move!"

Bailixiong's voice was cut short by a cold threat.

The woods, which were originally quiet, suddenly flashed with countless knife lights, and in the dull footsteps, countless figures of different heights surrounded a group of homeless people, among which there was a burly shadow with a height of nearly a foot.

Baili Xiong's heart was shocked, and he looked at the person who spoke, but saw a silver-clothed man appear in the direction of the stronghold, his eyes were flat, and he was staring at Baili Xiong steadily.

It's human!

The silver-clothed man looked at Bailixiong, then looked at the homeless people one by one, and only after a while did he ask, "Who are you?"

Baili Xiong endured the rapid beating of his heart, and the flickering swords around him gave him a lot of pressure, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he replied, "My lord, we ...... We are refugees from the town of Kambis, and we have been in exile all the way here, thinking that this stronghold has been abandoned, so we want to settle down here for a night's rest, not to cause trouble to adults, but just to misunderstand!"

"Kanbes Town?" the silver-clothed man pondered for a moment, "That's one of the four first-level towns and cities in the White Tiger Domain, right?"

"Yes, yes. ”

"Then why did you go far and not flee in the direction of the first line of defense, but in the direction of the border?"

Bailixiong's face froze, and then he shook his head and explained: "My lord, it's not that we don't want to, but the brute beasts have laid heavy defenses in the direction of the first-level defense line, and with the strength of our people, if we want to go over, we are just looking for death." ”

The silver-clothed man's gaze remained unchanged, and after looking at Bai Lixiong for a moment, he waved his hand.

The next moment, all the swords were sheathed, and most of the surrounding figures disappeared in an instant, leaving only a few that remained in place, watching the movements of the homeless.

"You can't rest here, but you can't enter the stronghold, you can only spend the night in the woods, you can't make a fire, if you want, stay here. The silver-clothed man said lightly.

At this time, Baili Xiong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and after secretly looking at the silver-clothed people, his heart chuckled, and after hesitating for a while, he asked cautiously: "My lord, are you ...... of the battle organization?"

Boom!

The cold light on the silver-clothed man's waist flashed, and a curved blade hit Bailixiong's Adam's apple, and the surrounding black shadows immediately rose with a murderous aura, locking all the homeless people.

"How do you know?"

The cold air spit out from the tip of the knife made Baili Xiong's scalp explode for a while, and cold sweat was already on his back, and his voice trembled slightly: "Don't get me wrong, my lord, I just guessed!"

"Guess?" the silver-clothed man frowned slightly, and the scimitar did not put down.

"It's really just speculation, we came from the west to find a war organization, so that the future can join you and fight against the brutes with you!"

“......”

The silver-clothed man stared at Bailixiong for a long time, and after the cold light flashed again, the scimitar had disappeared.

Whew, whew......

The pressure dissipated abruptly, and Bai Lixiong immediately felt relieved, bent over and gasped.

The feeling of being killed at any time is terrifying!

"You want to join the warring group?"

Baili Xiong was stunned for a moment, swallowed his saliva and looked up at the silver-clothed man, and nodded firmly.

The silver-clothed man's eyes didn't change, he glanced at the other homeless people, and then turned around.

"In that case, don't leave, join our operation tomorrow, and the last survivors can become members of the war organization!"

After speaking, the silver-clothed man had disappeared in the direction of the stronghold, and the surrounding black shadows had also disappeared, leaving only a sense of staring that was absent in everyone's hearts.

Let's go?

Who survived?

Bai Li Xiong desperately digested the meaning of the silver-clothed man's words in his heart, and when he looked back, he found that the eyes of the others were full of fear, and he was obviously frightened.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"It seems that joining the war group ...... It's not an easy task!"

......

To the north of the stronghold, about 500 kilometers away, a woman was leading a man to sit down in a sparse bush.

Dig pits, make fires, and eat hot food.

Consistent movements have become a woman's habit, and her expression is a little dignified as she watches the food gradually heats up.

Beside her, the man behaved a little differently than usual.

For several days, except for meals, men were usually just silent, being led around by women like a puppet, but now, the man's shoulders and back were moving twice from time to time, and he seemed to be extremely irritable.

"Let's eat!"

The hot meal was stuffed into the man's palm by the woman, and the man stopped trembling irritably and began to eat quietly with his head down.

The woman looked at him with a worried look in her eyes.

“...... Bear with me, and when I find them, you'll be fine. ”

Her voice was soft, as if she wanted to soothe the man, and her soft little hand was placed on the top of the man's head, which was two centimeters taller than her, and gently stroked back and forth.

The man ate as fast as ever, and in a short time he eliminated the amount that a normal person would have to eat for several days to eat, and then he fell silent, and did not resist the woman's movements.

Night had come, and the hoarfrost had already covered the land of the White Tiger Domain again.

The woman extinguished the fire, flipped her palms, and shot a few rays of light into the surrounding dirt, then pressed the man on the shoulder, making him lie flat on the ground, and then the woman lay down beside him, leaning her head on his chest.

The cloak flipped over and covered the two of them, and a faint layer of hoarfrost condensed on it, allowing them to blend in with the color of the ground.

"Sleep!"

The cool breeze blew, and the woman had already closed her eyes, but the man's face covered by black cloth had two faint red rays of light through.

That's where the eyes are!

......

The next day, Bailixiong woke up from his sleep early.

Although there was no attack from the brute beasts, the pressure in his heart was not less at all, and he knew that the silver-clothed men who occupied the stronghold had been watching their every move of the group of outcasts all night.

Although he didn't admit it positively, in yesterday's conversation, the identity of the silver-clothed man against the battle organization was not denied, which left a knot in Baili Xiong's heart.

In the rumors, the war organization is a rebel army assembled by human beings in troubled times, so logically speaking, the attitude of the war organization towards the displaced people should be extremely friendly, but the silver-clothed man is so strong, so that Bai Lixiong can't see the slightest attitude of wanting to save them, and the strong contrast is constantly hedged in his heart.

The other homeless people obviously didn't think much differently from him, and most of them had woken up at the moment.

Someone walked up to Bai Lixiong's side.

"Brother Baili, let's ...... next Do you really want to stay with those people?"
