"Oh no."

A hurried shout came from the side door, and then Sheng Zhuzhu ran in.

The woman's hair was disheveled, and her eyes were filled with anxiety.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Grandpa, something bad has happened! Father, Mother, my eldest brother, and Cheng Mian have gone back to Dawn Island."

These words were also heard by Sheng Xiu and Lu Chuan, who ran in through the main entrance.

The two had just exchanged a lot of words at the door, and upon hearing this, they both frowned.

This left Meng Tong somewhat bewildered. She got up and went to Lu Chuan. The woman asked in a low voice, "Has something serious happened?"

"Yes, Wei Lian detained all the clansmen who came from Dawn Island."

"They're out." Meng Tong said in surprise.

She thought they were still living on the island!

Lu Chuan only found out about it after Sheng Xiu told him.

Just five days ago, a sudden downpour hit Dawn Island, making the already one-third-submerged island even worse.

For the safety of their people, all the tribespeople escaped from Dawn Island by boat when the torrential rain subsided slightly.

Unexpectedly, not long after they landed, Wei Lian's men came and detained all the clansmen.

Some of them escaped, like the man who came to deliver the message.

Wei Lian is a madman, as everyone on Dawn Island has experienced, which is why Sheng Yu and the others are so anxious to rush back.

This disrupted Sheng Tao's plans. The old man's eyes blazed with anger as he got up and went directly to Meng Tong and Lu Chuan.

He forcefully pushed the box onto Meng Tong, his voice carrying a sense of oppression, "Grandpa only has one request."

"You say."

“Rescue the people of Dawn Island and bring them to Prison Mountain Town.”

“I know this request is unreasonable, but I can’t just stand by and watch them die at Wei Lian’s hands. What you hold in your hand is the Phoenix Bone that everyone in the world covets.”

Phoenix bone.

The three words seemed like water droplets plunging into a hot oil pan, and both Sheng Xiu and Sheng Zhuzhu looked at her.

His narrow, upturned eyes revealed no emotion. Sheng Xiu took two steps forward and bowed to Meng Tong.

"What are you doing, Second Brother?" Lu Chuan grabbed his arm.

But Sheng Xiu didn't move. He kept his head down and said, "From now on, everyone on Dawn Island will serve you as their master."

"This……"

Meng Tong glanced at Sheng Tao, nodded, and continued, "I know you're no ordinary person. The development of Laoshan Town also needs people. From now on, they will all be at your command. If they don't, you can do whatever you want with them."

This was the result of Sheng Tao's careful consideration; they had nowhere else to go but here.

An awkward atmosphere filled the room, and Lu Chuan didn't know what to say for a moment.

The man only looked at Meng Tong, and he supported whatever decision she made.

Holding the box in her hand, the woman thought for a long time before returning it.

"Grandpa, I can't accept this."

The woman's voice was resolute, but Sheng Tao and the others felt a chill run down their spines.

Could it be the people of Dawn Island...?

"As Lu Chuan's wife and your granddaughter-in-law, Dawn Island is also our family's second home."

“When your people are in trouble, it is only right that I lend a helping hand. From now on, Laoshan Town will be your second home.”

thump.

His words stirred the emotions of everyone present. Sheng Tao looked at the woman in her early twenties and felt a pang of shame.

Ultimately, it can't compare to her magnanimity.

……

They set off overnight on the "Green Carpet" towards Dawn Island, accompanied only by Lu Chuan and Sheng Xiu.

The rest are waiting in Duanshan Village.

Dawn Island and Broken Mountain Village are over a thousand miles apart. Even if Sheng Yu is traveling at high speed, he still needs to rest, let alone with two other people on his back.

As for Cheng Mian, he was pulled along by Si Jiao, who had come to deliver the news.

Like Sheng Yu, he has an exceptionally high talent for speed.

After running for almost two hours, Sheng Yu and Si Jiao were panting heavily. They found a place at random and stopped to rest.

"I wonder how Zhou'er and the others are doing, whether they'll..."

"No, Wei Lian must have something to do with detaining them. We're not in his presence now, so he won't act rashly."

Comforting the tearful Jiang Zhu, Sheng Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, his cold eyes filled with murderous intent.

About 15 minutes later, Meng Tong and the other two caught up with Sheng Yu and his group.

When Jiang Zhu saw the people who landed so easily in front of her, she couldn't help but exclaim, "You guys... flew here."

"indeed."

Lu Chuan thought for a moment and then said.

They flew here, didn't they?

Having witnessed Meng Tong's prowess, Sheng Yu and Cheng Mian had become accustomed to it.

Jiang Zhu and Sheng Jin found it unbelievable.

"Tongtong, what's wrong with you...?"

"Mother, I'll tell you about this later. Let's hurry up and get going while it's still dark."

As Meng Tong spoke, he activated his supernatural power, and an exceptionally large "green carpet" appeared before him.

"Come up!"

"Uh... ok."

Jiang Zhu, Sheng Jin, and Si Jiao all sat down in a daze.

Especially when looking at the night view that I had never seen before.

It felt like a dream.

……

Because she was in the forest, Meng Tong was absorbing and releasing energy simultaneously, so it didn't take much to her energy.

It took almost three hours for the eight of them to finally arrive at the fishing village.

It was already late at night, and the only sound on the deserted road was the distant roar of the sea.

Do you know where Wei Lian lives?

"follow me."

Crouching low, the group followed stealthily behind the four corners.

Unlike other small towns, fishing villages are characterized by their generally low-rise houses and the fact that the location is not in the center of the village.

The houses are sparsely populated, so even the slightest movement is easily detected.

Wei Lian chose a bay to the right of the fishing village, which used to be a salt field but was later abandoned.

Several dilapidated houses were lit with torches, and the sounds of people walking around and the clanging of metal could be heard.

Crouching behind a large, crooked tree, Sijiao explained in a low voice, "Our tribe has fewer than five thousand people in total; the children and women are all over there."

Sijiao pointed to the dilapidated house closest to the cliff at the innermost part, and then said where the man was being held.

Finally, pointing to a black military tent in the middle, he said, "This is where Wei Lian lives. He brought a very strange woman with him this time."

"How so?" Sheng Xiu asked, squinting his eyes.

Sijiao's face was pale, and his clenched fists were pounded hard on the tree trunk.

"She...eats human flesh, especially women and children. She has eaten no less than ten of our people."

"what?"

Even Meng Tong frowned and looked over, let alone Jiang Zhu and the others.

Tears welled in Jiang Zhu's eyes as she gripped Sheng Jin's hand tightly, biting her lip. "Beasts, they're all beasts."

"What are the specific characteristics of that woman?"

Meng Tong asked, still relatively calmly.

Sijiao thought about it and couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

"Her flesh will fall off; she can only eat women and children..."
