My Seven Sisters Are Stunningly Beautiful (The Return of the Gods)

On a barren plain, a few deer-like and horse-like creatures were grazing on the few patches of grass on the ground.

Suddenly a sharp arrow shot from a distance and hit one of them in the head accurately.

The sharp arrow even pierced the creature's head, but the creature was still eating grass peacefully.

The scene looks very strange.

On the distant mound, the hunter who saw this scene put away his bow in dismay and left cursing: "It's a mirage again! This is the tenth mirage I've encountered this month! If this continues, when will we be able to save enough beast sources to enter Zhongzhou City!"

The young man who was eating dried meat nearby smiled and consoled him: "Don't be discouraged! Brother Song! There is still a chance!"

"Xiao Yun! I'm not trying to discourage you, but don't be so optimistic! Soon you will be worn down by this boring mirage! Then you will be the same as me! If you have a chance to survive!"

Song Yuntian said with a wry smile.

Lu Yun scratched his head and stopped talking. He followed Song Yuntian and continued to run aimlessly on this barren land.

But until the sun was about to set, no second group of wild beasts was found!

"Alas! Today is another fruitless day!"

Song Yuntian said distressedly: "Let's go! Xiaoyun! Let's go back to the gathering place!"

After another long journey, we finally arrived at the so-called gathering place before the sun set.

Although the two men ran back and their bodies were steaming, contrary to this scene, both Song Yuntian and Lu Yun were covered with frost!

When I walk, my whole body makes crackling sounds!

If you stand still for three seconds, your whole body will be frozen.

There were a few dilapidated brick houses, with a small fire in the middle that was about to go out in the next second!

A dozen sturdy men dressed similarly to Song Yuntian gathered around the fire, apparently chatting.

Seeing Song Yuntian and Lu Yun coming back, they all greeted them.

"Old Song! How was your harvest today? Your trouser pockets are so full that you can't even put more food in them. You're back so late!"

One of the burly men joked.

"But fuck it! I got nothing, my pockets are cleaner than my face, and it's true that I encountered two mirages!"

Song Yuntian sat by the fire, cursing.

The frost on my face and hair began to melt slightly.

Lu Yun could only stand a little closer to the fire like the people standing next to him.

For a newcomer like him who has only been here for a month, this treatment is already quite good!

But Lu Yun didn't care. After all, although his face turned blue due to the cold, he was actually fine. The Yin-Yang Fish Fire in his body was not a vegetarian.

If you can't even withstand this little bit of cold, you might as well bite your own tail and commit suicide!

However, Lu Yun did not use the Yin-Yang Fish Fire. After all, he understood the principle that a man is innocent but a person in possession of a treasure is guilty.

If he rashly exposed his strength and trump card before figuring out the situation, it would only bring him unnecessary trouble.

This was what Lu Yun didn't want to see, and that was why he had been following Song Yuntian for more than twenty days.

Lu Yun also enjoyed listening to this group of rough guys sitting together and having fun despite their hardships.

However, this atmosphere did not last long. When the flame in the middle began to flicker, these rough men very tactfully entered the dilapidated houses.

A tiled house of seven or eight square meters needs to accommodate seventy or eighty people. Each person is packed tightly together like cargo. Not only can they not turn around, they can't even move their hands, in order to fit all the people in the gathering place.

Those who cannot squeeze into the dilapidated houses will be frozen into ice sculptures alive.

Even if a newcomer like Lu Yun squeezed into the dilapidated house, he had to be placed close to the wall and use his body to block the leaky wall.

It has been the twenty-third day since Lu Yun came to this so-called Zhongzhou Island, and he has seen hundreds of people frozen to death.

As for the rules of this so-called Zhongzhou Island, he has almost understood them.

On this Zhongzhou Island, there is a Zhongzhou City. One can only enter it by hunting wild beasts in the periphery and obtaining one hundred so-called beast sources.

That is the real entry into Zhongzhou.

However, this beast source is extremely difficult to obtain. Not only is the drop rate extremely low, there may not be even one beast source among hundreds of wild beasts.

Moreover, the attack power of these beasts is extremely formidable, and on average they are at the great perfection level of Taiyi Tianxian Realm.

There are even beast leaders whose strength can reach the level of Half-Step Golden Immortal.

Coupled with the beasts' own bloodiness and sense of cooperation, they are much more difficult to deal with than humans.

Furthermore, there was the mirage phenomenon encountered during the day. The mirage on Zhongzhou Island was different from what Lu Yun had known before.

This thing can no longer be called a projection. This beast that came out of the mirage is not only extremely aggressive, but also completely insensitive to pain.

It's just a combat puppet.

That's why Song Yuntian did what he did during the day, where he shot an arrow with a bow to see if it was a mirage.

This greatly reduces the cost. After all, if you see a group of wild beasts and rush up to fight, you may find in the end that it is all a mirage. Not only will your efforts be in vain, you may even get injured and have to stay in the gathering place to recuperate for four or five days.

You know, this gathering place is not a free place for people to stay. You must pay a beast source every month, otherwise the people in the entire gathering place will unite to drive it away or kill it.

This has led to many shady transactions.

The beast sources that were handed over were exchanged with the people in Zhongzhou City for the fire that could sustain the gathering place, that is, the weak flame in the center of the gathering place.

With that thing and these dilapidated houses, it was not enough to turn them into ice sculptures on this freezing night.

Neither of these two is possible!

There are countless gathering places like this on the entire Zhongzhou Island!

As for newcomers like Lu Yun, the settlement would be more lenient and allow them to live there for free for a month. After all, every settlement needed to be replenished with new manpower at all times to prevent uncertain casualties and departures.

But this tolerance is only limited to the end of the second month, if the beast source cannot be delivered by then.

There are only two outcomes waiting for them: one is freezing into an ice sculpture, and the other is being killed by other people in the gathering place.

There was no conversation all night, and the dawn light shone on this barren land, bringing some life to the lifeless frozen soil.

Lu Yun squeezed out of the dilapidated house. It was the twenty-fourth day since he came here. In one week, his rookie vest would be taken off.

"Xiao Yun! What are you dawdling about? Let's go!" Song Yuntian waved at Lu Yun and said.

But Lu Yun smiled and shook his head and said, "Brother Song! Thank you for taking care of me these days. I want to try it by myself!"
