Longevity, starting from traveling and telling stories

Chapter 88 Refuge
At this moment, the forest was silent, and even the zombies that were roaring just now stopped obediently.

Hou Fangting was not surprised that the woman was so strong, but what was strange was that he seemed to have seen her somewhere.

The woman glanced at Hou Fangting calmly and said, "Who are you? You don't seem like one of those so-called righteous people. You have evil intentions and hatred in your heart."

Although the woman's voice was soft and pleasant, it carried a hint of murderous intent, and this hint of murderous intent suddenly made Hou Fangting's heartbeat accelerate.

He asked in return, "Who are you?"

"Who am I?" The woman suddenly showed a crazy look, her five fingers turned into claws, scratching her scalp frantically, and her expression also revealed a terrifying look of self-abuse.

With a long roar towards the sky, even the veil was blown away, revealing the woman's true face.

Hou Fangting's pupils shrank. It was her? No wonder she felt familiar. It turned out to be the woman in the portrait that the Demon Lord looked at day and night.

Is this woman crazy? While she's still unconscious, I'll quickly slip away and report the news I've gathered to the Demon Lord.

After a long moment, the woman ignored her bloody scalp, muttering, "Who am I? Am I the master of Goddess Peak? Am I a demon? Who am I supposed to be?"

In the Tiankui Mountains, a large number of zombies and beast zombies suddenly appeared. Their number was as huge as a tide. They would eat any living thing, whether it was a mortal, a demon, a cultivator, or even snakes, insects, rats or ants.

This tide of corpses caught all the immortal palaces, big and small, in the Tiankui Mountains off guard, resulting in countless casualties. By the time they reacted and resisted, it was too late.

Faced with the zombie horde, which was weak in strength but huge in number, they quickly organized themselves and fought desperately, but it was like an egg hitting a rock. Facing the zombie horde, they were still defeated at the first blow, and even their fallen comrades became enemies in an instant.

They had no choice but to retreat towards Tianji Pavilion, the most powerful immortal residence in Tiankui Mountain.

The news of this catastrophe spread throughout the world. Overnight, even the dragon clan prepared for battle, fearing that these corpses would pollute the aquatic creatures.

Some sects in the demonic world had already made preparations for battle. Even several sects headed by the Hehuan Sect had made plans to join forces with the devil, just waiting for the Tianmo Sect's nod.

On the other side, early morning.

The Tiankui Mountains were shrouded in mist and lifeless. Ye Beixuan walked very fast along the mountain trail. He saw almost no human habitation along the way, but he always encountered birds and beasts fleeing everywhere, which made him feel very curious, but also satisfied his appetite.

The visibility in the mountains was poor, but it was nothing to him. He had become extremely proficient in controlling the wind along the way. He even played Angry Chicken, using the elasticity of the trees to shoot himself away like a cannonball, saving effort and time.

Looking at the map, Tianji Pavilion and Shennv Peak are not far away, but it is still a long way for mortals.

Finally, at the end of the trail, he saw a big river. It could be called a big river or even a river. It was like the Little Three Gorges in his previous life. The river water was emerald green and emitted waves of light.

There was a small boat docked on the bank of the river, and a boatman was packing luggage on the boat.

"Boatman, shall we go to Tianji Mountain?"

The boatman was tidying up when he suddenly heard a sound and shuddered in fear. He looked at Ye Beixuan carefully. He had a slender figure and looked like a handsome young man, but unfortunately he had a big beard and looked extremely rough.

He rubbed his swollen eyes and said softly, "Excuse me, sir, I'm not doing business anymore. I'm seeking refuge somewhere else."

"Refuge? Why?" Ye Beixuan didn't understand, so he asked softly, "Can you give me a ride? I'll pay."

"I don't charge money, but do you have food?" Seeing Ye Beixuan's confusion, the boatman continued to explain, "Sir, you don't know, but recently, there have been zombies in this mountain range. Many villages have been affected, and the survivors have fled for refuge."

"I'm going to take refuge, too."

The boatman explained the situation. It turned out the zombies had already reached the nearby village, even mortals had been affected and had fled for safety. Just then, two disheveled men and women, a man and a woman, came scurrying towards them. They quickly approached the boat and asked, "Can you give us a ride?"

Ye Beixuan did not say anything. There were no good people in the end times. Of course, these people posed no threat to him. If they made any unusual movements, he would just kill them with a wave of his hand.

The boatman hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Do you have any food? We don't accept money here, only food."

The man pleaded, "My wife and I have just been married, and we already have nothing at home. Now my wife is pregnant. Please, old gentleman, be kind. We really have no food."

A faint light flashed in Ye Beixuan's eyes. The woman was indeed pregnant, and there was indeed nothing edible on either of them.

"Okay." The boatman finally softened his heart and agreed, and Ye Beixuan didn't know what to say.

Then the boatman said seriously: "Now everyone has little food, so we have been fishing for food these days."

"Let's go without delay!" The disheveled man held his wife's hand tightly and said anxiously.

The boatman agreed deeply. He let go of the rope and the boat began to float. As he rowed, he said, "I have limited energy. When I get tired, you two men can row. The woman is pregnant, so let her rest!"

Everyone nodded silently, agreeing with what he said.

Just then, another group of people came to the shore and looked at the small boat in the middle of the river. They shouted loudly, asking if they could take them.

It’s a pity that several people on the boat turned a deaf ear to it. Not to mention that there was not enough space for so many people, there would inevitably be more trouble with too many people, and they might even get killed.

After a long while, the disheveled man finally spoke, "My name is Zhang Guang. May I know your names?"

"Call me Lao Yao." The boatman replied.

"Ye Lost."

Zhang Guangtong and the others bowed and said, "Those zombies right now are bloodthirsty. They will find you no matter how hard you try to hide. But I've discovered one thing during my escape these past few days."

"What's the matter?" Ye Beixuan asked curiously.

Zhang Guang said seriously, "These zombies seem to be afraid of water and don't like to go into the water. That's why I was able to escape here and choose to take the water route. As long as we hide in the water, we will be relatively safe."

"But hiding like this isn't a solution!" The boatman sighed and replied, "We can't stay on the water forever!"

Zhang Guang smiled and said, "That's not necessary. I've heard some news during my escape these days, and I know there's a place that's absolutely safe."

"Don't keep us in suspense, tell us quickly." The boatman asked anxiously, and even Ye Beixuan became curious.

Zhang Guang cleared his throat, as if what he said was a great achievement, letting the boatman know that it was not in vain that he brought him along.

"Tianji Mountain."

"." Ye Beixuan was immediately disappointed when he heard this. Isn't this exactly where he wanted to go? He immediately sat aside in boredom.

The boatman remained silent upon hearing this, because the bearded scholar had just asked him to go to Tianji Mountain.

Zhang Guang saw their calm faces and knew that others had already heard what he said, so he volunteered, "Why don't you let me row for a while? Mr. Yao, you can cast a net and see how it goes?"
