C10 The dilemma of the town

The sun was setting in the west, and just as the sun was about to set, Liu Xu and the others finally arrived at a Town.

The atmosphere of this Town was very strange.

The sky wasn't dark yet, but there weren't any pedestrians on the street. Not only that, even the shops on the street were closed. Not a single store was open.

"Miss …" Jing Xin's expression immediately darkened, and he warned Liu Xu who was in the carriage behind him.

"Mm, be careful."

When the Beast Cart arrived at the center of the Town, it saw that the biggest inn in front of them was about to close its doors.

"Ai!" and so on... Don't close the door yet! " Jing Xin hurriedly said.

The waiter who was about to close the door was startled, he turned around and saw Jing Xin driving the car, and immediately shouted: "Hey! Oh, my ancestors! Why are all of you still so relaxed?! Hurry up and come over! "If you're too late, it'll be too late!"

After being startled for a moment, Jing Xin immediately increased the speed of the Beast Cart, and drove it all the way to the inn's entrance, his face full of suspicion: "Excuse me, what happened here? "You just said it too late, what does that mean?"

"You don't know?" The attendant was startled, and looked at the carriage behind Jing Xin, his face was filled with disbelief: "You all don't know what kind of place this is, and you still dare to barge in?!"

"We …" Just as Jing Xin wanted to explain, the waiter suddenly reacted, and anxiously said, "Quickly say it! The sun was about to set! If you want to know about this matter, quickly get off the carriage and follow me into the shop. Otherwise, I'll close my doors! I don't care what you all will encounter at that time! "

"Miss …" Frowning, Jing Xin looked at the carriage behind him.

"Hmm? What happened? " Liu Yunqi who was sleeping soundly on Liu Xu's lap was woken up by the noise coming from outside the carriage, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and got up.

"Little Qi, I'm so sorry, did you wake up?" Liu Xu said gently.

Doubtful, Liu Yunqi looked at Liu Xu, he did not understand why she was looking at him like that, and seeing that the car had stopped, Liu Yunqi curiously looked outside the window. "Where are we?"

While she was guessing in her mind what kind of place this was, Liu Xu held his hand and smiled, "Since you're awake, then let's get out of the car and take a look together."

Seeing Liu Xu and Liu Yunqi slowly coming down from the Beast Cart s, waiting for an opportunity to react, she jumped up and down "Oh wow, what are you guys doing … "It's a bit faster, ah! Slow down, it's going to get dark soon!"

What's going on?!" Right at that moment, the owner angrily walked out of the shop. "What happened to you?!"

"This... Boss, you can't blame me for this! It's those people over there! "They didn't know and still barged in. They're still here taking their time …" The waiter said with a wronged expression.

The boss immediately frowned and looked towards Liu Xu and the rest, supporting Liu Yunqi to stand firmly on the ground, Liu Xu said: "Boss, help me find a place to place the Beast Cart."

Immediately, the owner's frown deepened as he glared at the waiter. "Why aren't you going?!"

"Yes yes yes, boss." The servant nodded his head and waved his hand at Jing Xin: "Come with me! "Don't dawdle any longer!"

After entering the inn, she looked around and immediately frowned.

He saw that the main hall of the inn and the dining room where the food was served were already filled with people. There were well-dressed travelers, commoners, and the poor people with tattered clothes.

At this moment, their eyes were filled with worry and fear. The once spacious hall was now completely packed with them. Other than a single corridor, there was almost no other space left in the hall.

Seeing the scene in front of him, the sleepy Liu Yunqi immediately woke up. Looking at the people crowded in the inn, his eyes were full of curiosity.

With a frown, Liu Xu looked at the inn owner who walked over after locking the door, "Boss, can you explain what's going on?"

"Little girls, you have come to the wrong place. When it is completely dark, the Blood-Thirsty Demonic Wolf will attack us, Town. And now that the sky is almost dark, even if you want to leave, you won't be able to. " The owner said.

"Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolf?!" Hadn't the Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolf never entered deep into the forest before?! There are mountains all around here, why are they here? " Liu Xu's eyebrows immediately tightened up.

The Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolf was a social magical beast that lived on the plains. It was extremely fierce. Even if it was a small tribe, even a rank 3 magical beast would not dare to provoke it.

In a small tribe, the average head wolf was no higher than a Class 2 Magical Beast. Their strength wasn't that strong, but the terrifying thing about them was that they hunted in groups.

Quantity could often make up for quality.

Thus, generally speaking, even magical beasts of a higher rank wouldn't dare to offend them.

Even though the Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolves were fierce, they would usually not enter the forest, as this would affect their group battles.

This time, the wolves had uncharacteristically penetrated deep into the forest and attacked this remote Town.

"Who knows? It was still fine a month ago, but soon after, people began to discover that the town was surrounded by Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolves.

At that time, the people in the town were all taken aback.

Because the Blood-Thirsty Demonic Wolves hunted together, the mayor sent the strongest Martial Cultivator in the town to investigate the situation. In the end, the man never came back.

This caused the mayor to be on high alert, and he sent the Martial Cultivator s in the town to stand guard around the Town day and night so that they could sound the alarm the moment they encounter any situation.

One night ten days ago, the Blood-Thirsty Demonic Wolf suddenly attacked Town. Even if there was an alarm at that time, the people in the town wouldn't be able to take refuge in time, and the residents of the outskirts of the Town were instantly killed. Fortunately, there were still some powerful Adventurer in the town, so the Town was not slaughtered.

But even so, on that night, more than fifty citizens and more than ten Martial Cultivator s had died, and their entire Town had turned into a river of blood.

The next day, the mayor sent people to ask the Adventurer to kill the Blood-Thirsty Demonic Wolves, but they were still unable to do anything about it. " The innkeeper said with a sad heart.

"How strong is the man who investigated the situation?" Liu Xu asked.

"I heard that the lord is a military general." The owner said.

Liu Xu's face immediately darkened. "Then why didn't you leave?"

"Who doesn't want to go? The second day, there were people who wanted to escape from the town. However, the moment they stepped out of the Town, they were eaten by the Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolves.

Right now, not a single person in the town dared to casually go out, and they could only hide in the center of the Town without daring to go anywhere else.

I heard that not many people were able to charge out when the mayor sent out reinforcements. I wonder if the neighboring city lords received our call for help. The inn owner sighed and said.

"Gulp." "Gulp."

While the atmosphere was heavy, an indescribable sound rang out.

Lowering his head, he saw that Liu Yunqi was looking at them with an awkward expression.

There was nothing he could do about it. He had not eaten since the bandits attacked at noon, so he was already hungry.

But seeing that they seemed to be talking about something important, he tried not to show it.

"Little Qi, you're hungry?" I'm really sorry, but even Big Sis didn't notice. " Feeling pained, she rubbed Liu Yunqi's head, then asked, "Is there anything to eat? Do you have a room? Is there hot water? "

"Because I've been trapped in the Town for a few days, I don't have much food. However, there were still some rooms. There was only one room, but it was a special situation, so … "The price is …" The inn owner said hesitantly.

"Money isn't a problem. Prepare some food for us and help us clean our room. Do you have hot water?" Liu Xu waved her hand nonchalantly.

"Yes, there's hot water. I'll get someone to prepare some for you." The owner said.

"Prepare a hot water bath for us later." Lowering her head to smell the scent on Liu Yunqi's body, Liu Xu said with disdain.

Smelling his own scent, Liu Yunqi looked at Liu Xu strangely. "It doesn't smell anything ~ Why are you looking at me with such disdain?"

Seeing Liu Yunqi looking at her, Liu Xu immediately understood what he meant. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's so hot in the afternoon, you're sweating so much, don't you need a bath?"

Not long after, Jing Xin returned. He frowned and looked at the crowded dining room, then whispered to Liu Xu who was sitting on the chair and talking to Liu Yunqi: "Miss, I discovered that there are a lot of strong experts in the tavern next door."

"Mm, got it." Liu Xu nodded and told Jing Xin what she just heard.

Jing Xin's face immediately changed: That young miss, we cannot stay any longer in this place, even the generals have left. Just those people, even with us, we will not be able to stop them.

"Right." Liu Xu nodded and said, "At night, we can act according to the circumstances. If possible, we can help them out. If that's not possible, we can only run."

Just as Liu Xu and Jing Xin were discussing about what happened tonight, the waiter brought the food up. Liu Yunqi who was already starving had no choice but to take a bite out of the bread on the table.

"Pah pah pah …"

Immediately, an unusual taste spread from his mouth, and even his tongue was bitter.

He quickly spat out the food in his mouth and grumbled in his heart, "What is that thing?!" Could it be poison? How unlucky! "

Immediately, the Liu Xu duo's gazes were attracted over, seeing Liu Yunqi's bitter face while throwing the bread back onto the plate, they all frowned.

Jing Xin picked up the bread, and after sniffing it a few times, he immediately frowned.

The bread was dry and hard, but there was also a rancid taste to it. It was obvious that it had been aged for quite some time.

"What's going on? Will you just bring this up for people to eat? " Jing Xin frowned and put the bread back on the plate.

"Little Qi, are you feeling bad?" Wash your mouth first. " Liu Xu picked up the cup on the table worriedly and fed the water to Liu Yunqi to let him rinse his mouth.

"Ugh …" This... We've been trapped in the town for half a month and we can't go out to purchase ingredients, nor can we make fresh food. This is the best food in our shop, so please take care of it. " The waiter said apologetically.

Liu Xu frowned, then rubbed Liu Yunqi's head and said gently, "It's fine, we'll eat other when we return to our room."

Liu Yunqi did not understand what she said, but all the hungry people around him understood.

Hearing Liu Xu say that there was food, the poor people all looked at her hopefully, hoping to share some of it with them.

Liu Xu and Jing Xin, on the other hand, turned a blind eye. What a joke, they still had a long way to go, and even if they don't have enough for it, why would they split it with them?

Just then, a girl with tattered clothes and a withered face walked over and looked at Liu Yunqi with hope. Can I have some bread? I haven't eaten in a day. "

Liu Yunqi who was feeling disgusted was startled and puzzledly looked at her.

Seeing the little girl staring at something on the table, he followed her gaze and saw that she was staring at the two pieces of bread on his plate.

"Eh? Is there anyone else who wants to eat this kind of thing? "

Frowning, Liu Yunqi tentatively passed the piece of bread that he had bitten in front of him to the little girl.

The little girl's face immediately lit up. After receiving the bread, she smiled sweetly at Liu Yunqi and said, "Thank you …"

"Little Qi, you're so obedient, you've learned how to help others at such a young age." Liu Xu was very satisfied with Liu Yunqi's unintentional actions.

The little girl was about to leave when the surrounding men saw that the little girl had gotten her bread. They looked at each other, eager to give it a try.

Noticing all this, Liu Xu said to the little girl who was preparing to leave, "Wait."

Turning back timidly to look at Liu Xu, the little girl tightly grasped the bread in her hand, afraid that it would be snatched back.

Liu Xu smiled faintly, then handed the rest of the bread to her and said, "Take it and share."

After that, they brought Liu Yunqi upstairs, and when the few men saw Liu Xu and his crew leave, they started to fight with the little girl for the bread. The little girl was still too weak, even if she fought with all her might, she could only keep a small part of her body from being snatched away.

The men fought over the rest of the loot.

Fortunately, Liu Xu gave all the bread to the little girl. With food, the men wouldn't have to take all the bread away, otherwise she wouldn't have anything left.
