Chapter 254 The Embryonic Form of the Dao of Slaughter
Cultivators eat more than ordinary people.
After all, the operation of Qi requires a lot of energy.
The energy consumed by the surge of blood and qi is also enormous.
This energy can be generated by absorbing and releasing the energy of heaven and earth.
At the same time, it can also be used to refine the food it has eaten.
It can be completely refined and absorbed with just a fluctuation of spiritual energy.
However, this is normal.
If it's simply about being 'full,' then it really depends on the individual's appetite.
To Xiaoxiao's surprise,
These kids can eat even more than me and my invincible senior sister.
The tallest one didn't eat much.
On the contrary, the shorter boys and girls had a big appetite.
wolf.
It looks like a starving ghost reincarnated.
They can eat as much as each other.
It's like... not knowing where your next meal will come from.
"Eat slowly, don't choke, don't burn yourself, there's still plenty left."
Xiao Xiao gave him helpless instructions.
I feel like I'm seeing a group of sixth senior sisters.
("Ah... Ah Qiu!")
In a cave somewhere in Xiaoqingshan, a little fox, sprawled out on the bed in a "big" shape, sneezed and scratched its head in confusion.
"Who, who's insulting me... How annoying..."
"Hmph...it must be that poison..." He paused halfway through his sentence, carefully looked around, and only when he saw that he was alone in the room did he finally relax.
Let out a long breath.
Her tense expression eased, and with a cold snort, her delicate and innocent face was full of disdain as she pouted and said, "They must be a poisonous couple! The two of them are despicable!"
I was still very sleepy, so I turned over.
After a while, he scratched his butt.
She continued sleeping, still wrapped in her blanket.
"These little guys can really eat! Aren't they afraid of getting stomach aches?"
Not only was Xiaoxiao surprised, but Mu Wudi beside her was also very astonished.
They can eat so much!
It doesn't look very big, but it can actually eat a lot?
What kind of appetite is that?
With such a small body, how much can its stomach hold?
"Just eat your fill, don't push yourself too hard," she said.
Just then, they saw a girl with a dusty face grab the roasted meat on the fire and stuff it into her clothes.
Noisy!
The girl's little hands were burned and turned red.
She gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound.
She secretly hid it in her bosom.
The girl was dressed in thin clothes, and the meat had just been roasted.
Let's not even talk about how badly her hand was burned.
I bet their bodies are burning up.
"This child..."
Mu Wudi frowned and walked over.
The little girl noticed what was happening here.
His face showed surprise.
Turn around and run.
"Why run?"
A gentle energy descended, binding her in place, rendering her unable to move.
Mu Wudi walked over here.
He squatted down and took the roasted meat from her arms.
The chunks of meat floated in the air.
"Didn't we already agree to let you eat here? Why are you still hiding it on your person?"
"me…"
The girl pursed her lips, her face full of shame. "I wanted to bring some for my mother too... She's been starving... We're out of millet... It was all stolen..."
Mu Wudi was stunned.
frown.
Suddenly I realized that several little ones around me were looking at me.
"Is this the same situation for you?"
The tallest girl nodded timidly, "Yes..."
I initially thought it was because this little girl was greedy and never satisfied.
I didn't expect it to be like this.
Is someone stealing food?
Mu Wudi subconsciously turned around and glanced at Xiao Xiao.
He noticed that the girl was also looking at him.
Both of them were a little stunned, not expecting this situation.
Originally, this mission was only to deal with the demonic pig.
But it seems there are other possibilities.
"You...eat first, just eat until you're full, don't overeat. After you've finished eating, I'll distribute the meat to you, don't worry, we'll all use it."
Xiao Xiao said.
Several children's eyes reddened when they heard her say that.
I felt increasingly ashamed.
The girl from earlier was the same.
"Senior sister, the towns and villages near the Sword Sect... shouldn't be like this. That demon didn't appear here, so why are they still here..."
Xiao Xiao transmitted her voice.
Mu Wudi sighed helplessly, “Although the demonic cultivators haven’t come, the refugees from those ancient cities on the southern border are fleeing this way.”
When people are starving, they're capable of anything.
It's probably normal for the elderly, women, and children to have their food stolen.
Strong and healthy men may team up in groups of three to five to rob people on the road.
Those who are skilled and strong may even become mountain kings.
Over the next period of time, Xiaoxiao inquired about the situation in detail.
That's when I realized what was going on.
Half a month ago, a group called the Blood Wolf Gang massacred the hideout of a nearby bandit gang.
They began collecting grain from nearby villages and towns.
They called it collecting grain, but it was really just seizing grain.
Hand it over obediently, and you'll live.
Those who refuse to pay, kill them all.
“We can at least find out when monsters cause trouble, because the matter is big enough, but something like this… we would never have discovered it if we hadn’t encountered these children.”
Xiao Xiao's face looked grim.
Mu Wudi thought for a moment, "Qingxiao Ancient City is not far from here, only a little over a hundred miles away. There is a branch of the Sword Sect Merchant Guild in the city. We can have the people from the Merchant Guild come here to handle it."
The chamber of commerce was also severely understaffed.
These children, if sent over there, will not necessarily become rich and powerful.
But at least we were well-fed and clothed.
Those who are clever and quick-witted should be trained and sent to the Chamber of Commerce for further development.
Those with similar comprehension and some talent can be sent to a sect.
It only solved the problems of these children.
Xiao Xiao still had a furrowed brow.
If we encounter it, we can resolve it.
What if you can't meet them?
With so many refugees and displaced people, is it possible to properly resettle them all?
The Chamber of Commerce is indeed short-staffed, but the number of people it can accommodate is limited.
"Senior sister, when will this situation ease?"
"Hmm... at least we'll have to get through this winter. Once we have enough to eat, there will be fewer thugs. It'll probably be a few more months, and who knows how many people will die in those months..."
Xiao Xiao fell silent.
Take a deep breath and let it out slowly.
A cold glint flashed in the girl's delicate eyes.
Damn the Ten Thousand Demons Sect!
These demonic cultivators carried out a large-scale massacre in the southern border region.
They've caused so much trouble.
Today, there are millions upon millions of refugees, the weak starve to death, and the strong plunder the food of the weak.
The situation was somewhat better near the Sword Sect, but even there, this kind of situation occurred.
If you go further south, you'll be closer to the Demon Realm.
What kind of scene will it be this time?
Suddenly, Mu Wudi sensed a familiar aura emanating from the girl beside him.
That was the nascent form of her shattered Dao heart.
Xiao Xiao, you've already formed the rudiments of a Dao Heart?!
Mu Wudi was dumbfounded.
He stared at her in utter astonishment.
This girl is so young.
Have you already grasped your own path?
"Sister..."
Xiao Xiao's eyes remained as gentle and reserved as ever.
However, beneath this calm atmosphere lay a hint of rage.
"I understand. If we want peace in the world, we must kill all the demonic cultivators."
"Otherwise, there will always be trouble, and someone will always suffer."
The Way of Slaughter!
