Before Song Xiaozhu could answer, Xiao Yunjie said, "There are no good or bad people, it's just a matter of perspective."
Song Xiaozhu nodded and added, "Now that we've already met, we'll probably have a chance to get to know each other soon."
Xiao Tong tensed up immediately, biting his lower lip as he said, "She's standing on the back of a giant Polluted Beast, and it seems... she's tamed it."
Song Xiaozhu explained to him, "Humans and animals are not inherently hostile; there are conflicts as well as mutual benefits."
As she spoke, she thought of the profession of " Hunter " and added, " Hunter not only hunt, but also tame."
Xiao Tong was stunned. "Taming?"
His voice rose. "Taming the Polluted Beast? I can stand on... stand on the back of the Polluted Beast, just like that person?"
Song Xiaozhu thought for a moment and said, "It can not only be used as a mount, but also in battle."
Xiao Tong: "A mount!"
These two words captivated the boy's heart.
Fearing that if Song Xiaozhu continued, the young man would risk his life to try it, she advised him, "These are just some guesses. Let's consult with others outside the quarantine zone later."
Xiao Tong's eyes widened even more. "We can get to know them?"
Song Xiaozhu: "Nothing is impossible, take it slow."
Xiao Yunjie nodded in agreement, "With the quarantine zone gone, as long as we can hold the village, we'll definitely have to come into contact with people from the outside world in the future."
They were discussing this when there was a knock on the door.
Xiao Yunjie: "What is it?"
Outside, Er Ying was panting heavily.
She said, "Madam! The beast tide... the beast tide has receded!"
Song Xiaozhu got up, and the three of them went out one after the other. Outside were Er Ying and Qiu Shuyu, whose foreheads were also covered in a thin layer of sweat.
Qiu Shuyu was busy dealing with the Polluted Beast, but upon hearing the news, she rushed over.
Song Xiaozhu looked at her.
Qiu Shuyu nodded solemnly.
Song Xiaozhu: "Let's go, to the front."
Xiao Tong took the lead. "Alright!" He slightly transformed into his beast form, ready to fight at any moment.
The Hunter of Liu Family Village have long since developed a tacit understanding.
Xiao Tong, Er Ying, Qiu Shuyu, and even Xiao Yunjie carefully shielded Song Xiaozhu in the middle, protecting her safety at all times.
Song Xiaozhu thought about her own physique...
Well, everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Her strengths are already quite strong, so it would be absurd if she didn't have any weaknesses either.
The group quickly went outside.
Looking into the distance, everyone seemed somewhat dazed.
The once surging tide of beasts receded like the receding tide, dissipating with a whoosh.
A few stray birds, seemingly lost, wandered aimlessly before being swiftly wiped out by Liu Xuangang's assault team.
The rocks were soaked in blood, and the Polluted Beast, which couldn't be recovered in time, lay piled up haphazardly.
The Hunter, still gripping their steel knives tightly after their bloody battle, seemed somewhat dazed, as if dawn had broken and they had awakened, but their consciousness remained in a dream.
it's over?
Did they withstand the beast tide?
Liu Xuangang shouted in a booming voice, "We won!"
Like surging waves, the Hunter ' shouts rose higher and higher, joy washing over them and dispelling their confusion, helplessness, and bewilderment.
"We won!"
"We survived!"
"We held on!"
Emotions are contagious. As the beast tide receded, everyone's jubilant mood, like ripples on water, continued to spread to everyone's heart.
Song Xiaozhu couldn't help but smile, her tense nerves relaxing slightly.
The safety barrier has been breached.
They were not swallowed up by the beast tide.
The safety barrier has been breached.
Their world seemed much wider now.
As if sensing something, Song Xiaozhu squinted and looked into the far distance.
Her vision wasn't particularly good; she relied solely on intuition to spot a pitch-black figure that seemed to blend into the night.
The mechanical longsword, illuminated by the rising sun, reflected a cold, sharp light.
Song Xiaozhu recognized him; it was Fan Cang.
The other person seemed to sense it as well and turned around.
Song Xiaozhu had already hidden herself in the crowd, avoiding his sight.
Fan Cang thought of that petite girl.
Did she survive?
They must have survived.
But... it doesn't matter anymore.
He has more important things to do.
A mere " Engineer " isn't worth him stopping.
The beast tide has receded.
After the Hunter cheered, a grand victory celebration was inevitable.
Good news was brought back to the village, and the villagers, who had been trembling with fear, finally dared to come out of their houses. When the Hunter returned, their families rushed to them, embracing and weeping.
Two consecutive beast tides made this already impoverished village even worse off.
But this time, no one was disappointed, no one was in despair; all that remained was the golden sunlight piercing through the layers of clouds and falling down.
The Council of Elders quickly compiled a battle report.
Fifteen people were seriously injured, and they are now slowly recovering under the Bai Jing light of the sun.
Those with minor injuries only need time to rest after taking medication.
Zero deaths.
During this beast tide, not a single villager in Liu Family Village was lost!
Song Xiaozhu is busy preparing a "victory celebration banquet".
She used the remaining antidote to synthesize a large amount of fresh meat, then gave it to the village cook who knew how to cook. They found several large pots and cooked it with clean water.
The villagers, drawn by the aroma of meat, peeked out curiously.
A child asked, "Sister Quanquan, what are these? Do you sell them in the shop?"
Just as Chen Quanquan was about to speak, Song Xiaozhu smiled and said, "Not selling today."
The child's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
Song Xiaozhu added, "Bring your bowls and come to the shop to get them for free!"
