A middle-aged man stepped forward and said with a solemn expression, "Miss Shen, we will go with you. Staying here will only lead to our deaths sooner or later. We might as well go with you to Linghu and fight for a chance to survive."

Everyone echoed this sentiment, determined to follow Shen Chumo, and began to pack their luggage.

At this moment, some of the orcs in the crowd looked troubled. They had been living peacefully in this town with Uncle Lin and the other humans, and now that they were suddenly leaving, what were they to do?

Uncle Lin also noticed these orcs. After all, they had lived together for so long, and there was still some affection between them.

Uncle Lin hesitated for a moment and then asked Shen Chumo, "Miss Shen, these beastmen have always been like family to us. Could we take them with us to the Spirit Lake?"

Shen Chumo frowned slightly, her gaze sweeping over each of the orcs.

Her heart was filled with contradictions. The long-standing hatred and conflict between orcs and humans made her instinctively wary of orcs.

But these orcs were living peacefully with humans in this town, and it seemed she shouldn't have killed them all.

Just as Shen Chumo was about to speak, a voice suddenly rang out.

"We're not going."

The newcomer was none other than Old Joe, the old man with the rat-like head from the gas station. Old Joe stroked his beard and said, "I know about that Spirit Lake. It used to be occupied by a super family and was a treasure land that other families had always coveted."

Now that you've taken their territory, they certainly won't let you off so easily.

You are all human, so they have reasons and excuses for going.

But if we orcs go, we'll probably immediately become the target of everyone's hatred, labeled as traitors to the orcs.

Rather than living that bloody and turbulent life, we'd rather continue living here.

Upon hearing Old Qiao's words, Shen Chumo felt even more admiration for his profound sense of righteousness.

After a moment's thought, she said, "Old Joe, I understand your concerns. But since I dared to seize the Spirit Lake right under their noses, I have a plan to deal with it."

Moreover, I will not allow anyone who is willing to follow me to be harmed.

As for your concern that our orcish identity might cause us trouble, I assure you that once we reach Spirit Lake, on my territory, humans and orcs will be treated equally, and no one will dare to bully us.

Old Qiao shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile, "Miss Shen, we appreciate your kindness."

But in this world, the conflict between humans and beastmen has a long history, and it can't be easily resolved with just a few words. Besides, we don't want to get involved in those disputes anymore.

The other orcs nodded. Although they were orcs, they were used to the peaceful life in the town and really didn't want to get into conflict because of their racial identity.

Seeing this, Shen Chumo felt regret but also expressed her understanding.

"Alright, since you've made up your minds, I won't force you anymore."

Old Joe waved his hand. "Let's go. Since we can live a different life, let's not linger here."

Uncle Lin and Hu Le both sighed as they looked at the orcs.

Soon, Shen Chumo flew the aircraft back and forth, transporting the town's residents to the Spirit Lake. On the last trip, Shen Chumo took a deep breath and took one last look at the ground.

"Old Joe, everyone, take care! If you have the chance, be sure to come visit us at Linghu."

After speaking, Shen Chumo strode into the cockpit, started the aircraft, and the engine roared deafeningly. The aircraft slowly rose into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.

Old Joe looked at the tiny dots in the sky and slowly squinted his eyes.

"It seems that the world is about to descend into chaos."

The fact that humans, who have always been the weakest race, can now cultivate is unimaginable. Once this news spreads, the entire Beast Realm and even the surrounding races will be engulfed in a massive storm.

The long-established dominance of the orcs over humans will face an unprecedented challenge, and those accustomed to oppressing humans will certainly not stand idly by.

After Shen Chumo led the town's residents to Linghu Lake.

Everyone was speechless with awe at the beautiful scenery of Linghu Lake, which was the first time they had seen it.

Linghu Lake resembles a giant blue gemstone, inlaid on this land. Its surface shimmers under the sunlight, creating a dreamlike scene.

Mysterious ripples constantly rise from the center of the lake, as if they contain endless power.

"Wow, this is Linghu Lake! It's so beautiful!" a child exclaimed.

Shen Chumo stood in front of everyone and said loudly, "Fellow villagers, this will be our home from now on."

The Spirit Lake possesses powerful spiritual energy that can help us cultivate.

But everyone must remember that our situation remains dangerous, so please follow instructions and familiarize yourselves with the environment as soon as possible.

Uncle Lin nodded and said to everyone, "Miss Shen is right. We have a rare opportunity today, and we must cherish it."

Everyone agreed. Afterwards, Shen Chumo began to arrange everyone's accommodations, placing families in adjacent houses so that they could look after each other.

After making the arrangements, Shen Chumo led Hu Le and Uncle Lin to her residence.

"Uncle Lin, Xiao Le, please sit down. We still face many challenges, and there are many things we need your help to accomplish."

As Shen Chumo spoke, she gestured for the two of them to sit down at the table.

Hu Le looked at Shen Chumo with a serious expression, "Sister Chumo, just tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it without hesitation!"

Uncle Lin straightened his back as well. "Miss Shen, just give the instructions, and we'll work together to find a solution."

Shen Chumo cleared her throat and slowly said, "As you can see, this land has been protected by a barrier. No one else can enter without my permission."

"If those orcs want to cause us trouble, I can assure you that as long as you don't leave this barrier, you will be absolutely safe."

The barrier was constructed using the power of the Spirit Lake itself, so it can be said that as long as the Spirit Lake exists, this barrier will never disappear.

Upon hearing this, both Uncle Lin and Hu Le showed expressions of surprise and relief. Hu Le couldn't help but exclaim, "Sister Chu Mo, you're amazing! With this barrier, we have a solid defense line."

Shen Chumo continued, "However, this barrier only guarantees our safety; it's not a permanent solution. So, we still have a lot to do."

"First of all, we are practically isolated from the world. We need to solve our problems with daily necessities, including food. Uncle Lin, you have experience in small towns. I can provide food and seeds for the early stages."

You help organize some people to cultivate land and grow grains and vegetables.

The land around Spirit Lake is fertile and rich in spiritual energy, so crops should grow much faster than elsewhere. Furthermore, we can utilize spiritual energy to assist in the planting process and increase yields.
