Early the next morning, Chu Ce and Zhuo Tianyu were at the gate of the camp early.

Sha'anhou also brought men and horses, there were nearly twenty people, ten of whom were strong men, who carried bamboo baskets with furs, animal teeth and other goods, and the other ten people carried wooden bows and spears as guards.

The roads in the mountains and forests are complicated, and it is difficult for livestock to enter, so they have to transport goods to the city in this way.

"Let's go."

As Sha'anhou spoke, the group walked along the exit of the valley.

Chu Ce looked back at this paradise with some nostalgia, there were many people who came to see him off, but he didn't see Sha Chuyue.

He searched carefully, and finally saw a small head poking out in the corner of a wooden house, with red eyes.

After looking at Chu Ce, Sha Chuyue immediately hid, but soon walked out from behind the wall slowly, and waved her little hand at Chu Ce aggrievedly to say goodbye.

Chu Ce smiled slightly in his heart, and waved his hand as a farewell, then took a deep breath and turned around.

"Let's go."

After checking the water, jerky, and goods they were carrying, the group went into the mountains without hesitation.

The cold wind howled through the mountains and forests, and a thin layer of ice crystals formed on the leaves.

Since the beginning of winter, the temperature has become more and more cold, and I don't know how many people will die this winter.

Chu Ce was wearing a sweater made of animal skins and carrying a wooden fork on his back, looking like a black woolly bear.

In just one month, his physique was becoming stronger at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, and his eyes were full of energy and brightness.

The terrain in the mountains and forests was precipitous, and Chu Ce was assigned to the escort team, and he and the other five hunters were distributed in a sharp cone shape about a hundred meters in front of the caravan to reconnoiter and avoid being attacked by wild beasts.

At this moment, he was bowing his body, looking around vigilantly, he had been walking for nearly three hours, Chu Ce's legs were almost frozen, but he still didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

"I hope to get back to the city safely."

Chu Ce thought silently in his heart.

However, at this moment, an exclamation suddenly came from ahead!

Chu Ce's heart tightened, and he hurriedly ran towards the source of the sound, and soon saw a hunter looking at the ground in a daze.

"What happened?" He asked.

The Orion pointed ahead blankly, and Chu Ce looked along and found a tiger corpse lying on his stomach among a dense bush!

The big cat was nearly two meters long, its belly had been torn open from it, its internal organs were gone, there were two long blood scars on its back, deep bones, and its head was full of scratches, as if it had been slashed with a sharp knife more than a dozen times.

"This ......"

Chu Ce's face changed slightly, and at this time, Sha Anhou and the others also rushed over, and they looked at the tiger corpses one by one with ugly expressions.

It is not difficult to see from the corpse that this was a one-sided torture.

To be able to play with the tiger in the palm of his hand, there must be no one else who can do it except the demon.

"Ace, what's going on?"

Zhuo Tianyu couldn't see it, so he could only ask quietly, and Chu Ce hurriedly described it for him.

Zhuo Tianyu groaned slightly, letting Chu Ce help him to the side of the tiger's body, and then he squatted down, feeling the scars on the tiger's body with his hands little by little.

After a long time, he got up and said slowly: "There is still residual warmth in the belly, and this tiger should be dead for only two hours." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed again.

Zhuo Tianyu continued: "Demons usually don't come out to hunt large beasts during the day, unless they don't get food for a long time, combined with the information of the previous demon transit, I guess that the demons may not have left, but stayed nearby."

Demons have no natural predators, and only such a large number of gatherings will cause food shortages. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were even more gloomy.

According to Zhuo Tianyu's meaning, those demons gathered in the mountains and forests around Sky Wolf City for some reason, so that they destroyed the ecology of the mountains.

In this way, if they wanted to pass through this group of demons and go to Sky Wolf City, the risk could be said to have increased exponentially.

At this moment, all the hunters began to whisper, and some people looked at Sha Anhou, and there was a retreat in their eyes.

"Panic what!"

Sha Anhou suddenly roared, his eyes swept over everyone, and he spoke: "This mountain forest is so big, how can it be so easy to encounter demons? What's more, if we retreat, what will happen to the women, children and children in the camp? Are you going to watch them freeze to death this winter? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

Seeing that everyone's retreat was dispelled, Sha Anhou softened his voice again: "Okay, I know that everyone has worked hard all the way, and we are all tired at this time, so we will find a suitable place to camp and rest." ”

The people should be scattered, looking for a suitable camp.

Chu Ce had no objection.

According to Sha Anhou, it is fifty miles away from the Guandao near Heavenly Wolf City, and most of them are undulating mountain roads, and they can't be walked in a day.

This meant that they had to spend the night in the mountains.

If it was on weekdays, Chu Ce would naturally not be afraid, but now that the demons are transiting, he is only afraid of ......

Shaking his head, he knew it was useless to think about it now.

The last group found a cave to spend the night, and for fear of attracting demons, they did not even dare to raise a bonfire, so they had to lean against each other to keep warm.

In this way, in the early morning, everyone simply gnawed some frozen jerky and continued to set off.

I don't know if they were lucky, or if the demon had left, and then everyone not only didn't see the demon, but even found no trace, and at noon, the wide official road finally appeared in front of everyone.

The hunters cheered, Chu Ce was also full of excitement, and even Zhuo Tianyu was rarely relaxed.

Then the group was lucky enough to come across a caravan, and after exchanging some supplies, the owner of the caravan generously invited everyone to come along.

These safety were even more assured, and when the sun was about to set, the towering walls of Sky Wolf City finally appeared in front of them.

Looking at the quaint and magnificent stone wall in front of him and the towering arrow tower, an inexplicable sense of security arose.

Life in the city is hard, but you don't have to worry about demons, and maybe that's why so many people want to stay in the city even if they give up their dignity and fight for their lives.

Chu Ce sighed, put away these hypocritical thoughts, and after paying the entrance fee, he entered the city with Sha Anhou and the others.

Sha Anhou wanted to invite Chu Ce to the restaurant for a meal together, but he thought of his little sister and politely declined, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he didn't care about the strange eyes of passers-by, so he couldn't wait to run in the direction of the Shanhe Gang.

Passing through the familiar streets and alleys, a majestic compound soon appeared in front of him.

"Wait! Who's coming?! ”

The gang guarding the door stopped Chu Ce.

Chu Ce took a deep breath, hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Chu Ce, the trainees of the Shanhe Gang help the people, please report to my brother." ”

"Chu Ce? Wait! You're the one who disappeared half a month ago? ”

"It's down there!"

The gatekeeper looked at him in disbelief, and quickly said, "You wait first, I'll go and inform Wei Dangjia!" ”
