Eve of the Beast Tide
A truly delightful meal. ♛🍮 ☟🐯
Luo Zhe increasingly felt that the life energy contained in these beast meats was even greater than that of the Azure Wave Marrow.
He felt warm all over, as if every muscle cell in his body was gently twitching, like countless tiny hands massaging him. The intense pleasure made Luo Zhe exclaim to Old Nuotuo, "Grandpa, this beast meat is truly amazing!"
Noa, who was standing to the side, was also eating with his head down. Even in their home, it was rare to see such a sumptuous meal. Being able to drink the beast bone soup made by the Fierce Fang Beast was his greatest happiness.
Nuotuo replied with a smile, "Lord Luo Zhe, please eat more if you like. This is Sector Lord level beast that Nuoge hunted from the Cangmang Mountain Range. It's very helpful for cultivation."
"Noa!" Nuotuo suddenly turned to Noa and said, "If you've eaten your fill, go see where your old man is. It's almost mealtime, why hasn't he come back yet?"
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
Before Nuotuo could finish speaking, they heard the sound of the courtyard gate being pushed open. The three of them turned around and looked towards the door. They saw Nuoge rushing into the house, his clothes stained with blood, indicating that he had been through a fierce battle.
Old Nuotuo frowned and asked, "Nuoge, what happened? Are you injured?"
Noa immediately put down the piece of meat he was holding and ran straight to Nuoge's side, looking at Nuoge nervously, but hesitating whether he should reach out to help him.
"I'm fine."
He reached out and patted Noa on the head, then turned to Nuotuo and said, "I just went to check in the mountains, and the wild beasts are all coming out of their original habitats. It's very likely that a huge beast tide is about to strike. In my opinion, the scale of this beast tide may be even larger than the one two thousand years ago! We must quickly notify the villagers to evacuate!"
"What!?"
Nuotuo was shocked and stood up abruptly, staring intently at Nuoge, asking, "What's the situation now? Have you notified Noah City to send people to help?"
"Dad, how could those big shots in Noah City possibly care whether we live or die? Are you out of your mind?"
Nuoge a wry smile, then said seriously, "I've already had Azhuang prepare the defenses, but I estimate they can only hold out for a while. With our village's current strength, there's no way we can withstand such a large-scale beast tide. We must immediately notify the villagers and have them evacuate as soon as possible. 😳🐺 💥💀"
Nuotuo his drumstick and angrily said, "Those damned bastards in Noah City take so much offerings from the village every hundred years, but when they're really needed, they're nowhere to be seen! Those damned parasites!"
"This isn't the time to talk about this. We must evacuate as soon as possible, or we might not be able to leave," Nuoge advised.
"Let's go!" Nuotuo picked up his drumsticks and started to walk out.
Suddenly, he turned around, bowed respectfully to Luo Zhe, and said, "Lord Luo Zhe, please come with us quickly. We must evacuate as soon as possible."
Luo Zhe nodded, stood up, and followed Nuotuo and the others, quickly leaving the house. ✊👊 ♟🐳
"Clang clang clang~"
The urgent bell rang sharply, and everyone busy in the village immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed to the square.
Nuotuo stood in the center of the square and addressed the crowd, shouting, "Fellow villagers!"
"The beasts in the Cangmang Mountain Range are coming out in droves, and a huge beast tide is forming. We must evacuate the village as soon as possible, preserve our strength, and lay low for now!" Nuotuo's voice was loud, and everyone present could hear it clearly.
"Village Chief! Noah Village is our home. If we leave here, where else can we go?"
"Yes, we've lived in Noah Village for so many years, living under the glory of Lord Noah. If we leave, wouldn't we be abandoning Lord Noah!"
"Yes, we won't leave! We'll defend Noah Village to the death!"
"We swear to defend Noah Village to the death!"
All the villagers were talking about it, and their words all revealed that they did not want to leave. Some even shouted slogans, saying that they would live and die with Noah Village!
Hearing this, Nuotuo was filled with anxiety and hurriedly said, "Villagers! Villagers! Nuoge has already gone into the mountains to scout the situation. This beast tide is likely to be even larger than the one caused by the Macaque King two thousand years ago! If we stay in the village, and the defenses are breached, our entire village may be wiped out!"
"For the sake of the children, for the sake of your families, I Nuotuo you, act quickly and evacuate!"
Some men began to hesitate, looking at their young children and then at their wives. They themselves weren't afraid of death, but what would happen to their children and descendants if they couldn't withstand the attack? They couldn't let their young children die along with them, could they?
"Three hundred thousand kilometers away, there's a large town called ' Qiyue Town.' The garrison commander is one of my junior brothers. Just tell him my name, and you can enter the town directly. With Qiyue Town's strength, it should be able to withstand this beast tide," Nuoge suddenly said, his right hand sweeping through the air, instantly forming a huge fire screen in front of him. It clearly marked the distance between Noah Village and Qiyue Town, and even indicated what kind of wild beasts were along the way.
"Everyone, let's hurry up! Otherwise it will be too late!" Seeing that everyone was still unmoved, Nuotuo urged them urgently.
"As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. If the village is gone, we can rebuild it. But if you all lose your lives, then we will truly have nothing left! I believe that even if Lord Noah knew this situation, he wouldn't want you all to stay," Luo Zhe suddenly said.
His opening remarks immediately drew everyone's attention. The entire Noah Village had fewer than a thousand inhabitants, and having lived together for so many years, they knew each other intimately. Naturally, they were very curious about Luo Zhe, a complete stranger they had never seen before. Moreover, Luo Zhe's use of the name of Lord Noah only added to their confusion.
"Fellow villagers, this is Divine Envoy Lord Luo Zhe from the Temple," Nuotuo hurriedly introduced, while saying to Luo Zhe, "Lord Luo Zhe, please persuade the villagers. If it's too late, we're all doomed!"
Divine Envoy!
Everyone's attention was drawn to this term. For some young people, the term "Divine Envoy" was quite unfamiliar, but for some of the older, stronger people, they naturally knew what the Divine Envoy meant to Noah Village.
The Divine Envoy —that is Lord Noah's representative!
"Yes, fellow villagers, I am Luo Zhe, the Divine Envoy from the Temple. This is my Noah Token!" Luo Zhe flipped his wrist, and the token landed in his hand at the right moment. He held it up so that everyone could see it clearly.
"Divine Envoy!"
"It's Noah Token!"
"He truly is Divine Envoy!"
Greetings, Divine Envoy!
Some were still in a daze, while others, with tears in their eyes, knelt on the ground, offering grand worship. It was true; Lord Noah had not forgotten them, Emissary Lord had descended once more.
Without bothering to help the villagers kneeling on the ground to their feet, Luo Zhe spoke directly, "Gentlemen, wild beasts are unreasonable creatures. If we really stay in the village, we will only increase casualties and gain nothing. But—"
Luo Zhe paused, "Assuming everyone is still alive, all we've lost is an empty shell of a village. We can just rebuild it! As long as we're all still here, Noah Village will not perish!"
"So everyone, let's get moving! As long as you're all alive and well, Lord Noah won't blame you!"
