Just watch the sun disappear at the end of the street, watch the stars come from the sky.

He fell asleep leaning on the chair.

But not long after, I saw beads of sweat forming on his forehead, and then he opened his eyes in panic.

Helfas stood up and put his hands on the table, but looked around warily, as if he was guarding against something.

It was as if he had wandered alone in a deserted jungle.

He gasped and stood up little by little.

He asked someone to prepare water and wiped his face and body.

When wiping his body, you can see the terrible scars on his back, which are deep enough to show the bones, which looks shocking.

This claw almost tore him into a puddle of rotten flesh.

Although the injury had healed long ago, the pain that penetrated into the bone marrow still remained in Helfas's heart. When he thought about it, it still seemed to hurt and blood was still oozing out of his back.

"Why did you suddenly remember this?"

That's right, Helfas just dreamed about the scene of that day again.

The sharp claws falling from the sky, the cold light that was so sharp that it could tear everything apart, everything is still fresh in my memory.

He dreamed again that he was running for his life in the dark and humid jungle, longing for any ray of light falling from the gaps in the leaves.

Helfas rested one hand on the edge of the tub, looking at the wound on his back in the moonlight and reflection.

"What the hell is that?"

To this day, Helfas still doesn't know what it was that almost killed him that day.

He had also deliberately paid attention to whether there were similar existences in the Full Moon Forest, but he could not find them. The Full Moon Forest was too big, and they could only encounter part of it.

Although he didn't find it, Helfas was not disappointed, or in other words, he hoped never to encounter that weird thing.

Helfas asked someone to carry the basin down, and walked towards his residence.

At this time, a shadow looked faintly at Helfas from a very far distance outside.

That gaze penetrated the farmland and lake, and passed through the canyon.

finally.

It fell on the dark-haired man walking on the central avenue of houses.

the next day.

Helfas led the people through the cave tunnel and came to the vicinity of the mine.

Bad news came early in the morning. There was an accident in the mine, and all the people who stayed in the mine to garrison died.

When Helfas came, all he saw were the torn and charred corpses. The entire wooden house where the miners lived and the wooden shed where the utensils and iron ore were placed had been overturned by a huge force, making it look like a mess.

Coupled with the horrific death state of the corpse, the scene was truly terrifying.

Helfas asked as soon as he arrived.

"Everyone is dead?"

"Is anyone alive?"

If there is anyone alive, at least he can know what happened here.

The witcher captain and the blacksmith immediately approached, and the blacksmith responded.

"No, there is no one alive here."

The blacksmith was scared and a little sad.

"I couldn't find a decent body at all. It was such a miserable death."

The witcher captain observed the surroundings with the coward's lamp: "Lord Helfas, that weird thing has left. It must not be nearby. It should be a weird guy who likes to keep moving his position."

Herfas: "Have you found anything out of the ordinary, or anything that matches the weird features we recorded?"

At this time, the blacksmith officer frowned and said something strange to Helfas.

"One thing is strange. All the black iron tools we made are gone. Those are tools used for mining."

"Both the old and the new, everything is gone."

Helfas immediately turned his head: "Is the iron tool missing?"

This is obviously abnormal. If it was an ordinary weird thing, it might not eat people, but how could it take away weapons?

It's just that the movement here is obviously caused by weirdness.

Helfas: "Could it be that after the strange invasion, someone came over and took away the iron tools here?"

The blacksmith shook his head: "Then I don't know."

Helfas looked at the Demon Hunter Captain and said immediately: "I'll go check it out right away."

Helfas still stayed where he was. He knelt down and looked carefully at the charred spots on the mutilated corpses.

"Why doesn't it feel like it's on fire?"

——

In the jungle.

A caravan is marching. There are about dozens of them, as well as twenty or thirty ground dragon beasts and peakback dragon beasts, loaded with various goods from afar.

The leader is a middle-aged dragon man with a big beard, riding on an earth dragon beast and swaying left and right.

The bearded businessman was accompanied by a woman wearing a metal mask. The two seemed to have a special relationship, so the bearded businessman wanted to bring the woman over to participate in the Black Iron Tribe's city founding ceremony.

On the way, the two people were talking and laughing.

The woman was holding a child in her arms, only three or four years old.

Woman: "I heard that Lord Helfas is cultivating a third farmland. It would be great if we could have our own farmland at some time, so that we wouldn't have to worry about food."

The bearded businessman said: "Helfas has been thinking of ways to cultivate more farmland. He is not a stingy person. He has been doing sealing and fighting weird things. He also hopes that everyone can eat food and

Live better."

"But the population of the Black Iron Tribe is growing too fast, and they also need food very much."

The bearded businessman thought for a moment and suddenly thought of something.

"But I heard that the farmland of the farmer tribe can also be divided into a new farmland. I can talk to the farmer then to see if I can exchange it with something, and then I will see if I can ask Helfas for help."

The woman said: "Then you go and talk about it. If the children can farm their own fields in the future, they won't have to go out and take risks to hunt or become businessmen."

Bearded businessman: "Isn't it good to be a businessman?"

Woman: "It's good, but it doesn't feel reassuring."

In this era, there is no concept of husband and wife. Women in each tribe give birth to children who do not know who their father is, and the children they give birth to live and grow up with their mothers.

Therefore, the relationship between a woman and the bearded businessman can only be regarded as the long-term promised lover of the bearded businessman.

Or something else.

However, this also means that the matriarchal tribal system in the Land of the Full Moon is under impact and is slowly undergoing some changes.

The emergence of Helfas, demon hunters and sealed objects further increased the importance of the original hunting team. More and more people began to take the initiative to understand the weird, avoid the weird and even want to become a demon hunter seal.

The emergence of caravans greatly increased the importance of craftsmen.

The emergence of farmer tribes has also made farmers and planting the future.

Men gradually replaced women's dominant position in major productions such as hunting, agriculture, animal husbandry and handicrafts, and became the main economic pillar of the tribe.

Therefore, the combination of husband and wife and family has slowly begun to appear. This is most obvious among the Black Iron tribe. The model of men and women forming families and living together to raise children has begun to become popular.

As the caravan walked, the distance suddenly opened up.

They saw the plains and valleys, as well as herds of velvet dragons, and shepherds waving whips and whistling.

The bearded businessman laughed: "We've arrived at the Zhi tribe."

Everyone came down together and entered the Weaver Tribe to rest. After resting, they would go to the Black Iron Tribe in the Full Moon Forest tomorrow.

The bearded merchant entered the Zhi tribe with his women, children and caravan members. Everyone in the tribe knew the bearded merchant, greeted him familiarly, and even came around to watch him bring the goods.

"Is there anything new?"

"I want some cheap pottery bowls. They don't have to be too good, just durable. I can replace them with cloth. Do you have any here?"

"Yes, yes, yes. What don't I have here?"

"When you come back this time, help me get some black iron pots!"

"You live near the Full Moon Forest and you still want me to get iron tools?"

"Who doesn't know about your relationship with Lord Helfas? Black iron weapons are so popular that you really can't buy them!"

The bearded businessman was very happy after hearing this, but he said:

"Herfas doesn't care about the trivial matters of who these iron items are sold to, and I can't bother him for an iron pot."
