"What's wrong? Do you regret not developing your own power?" A Cai looked at Xuan Jie and teased.
"What's there to regret? If I tried my best, I could not escape the outcome of defeat. Even if I am prepared, I can only survive longer in this turbulence."
Standing on the top of the mountain, a few smokes appearing in the distance indicated that the melee had begun.
This brutal melee will last for thousands of years, and the severity of the battle will shock even the abyss.
Now that the war between the city-states has begun, the journey route must be re-planned.
In the past, Xuanjie always used the gathering place as the direction of advancement for the sake of convenience.
The war between demons and gods is no joke, and the world will collapse at every turn. Being dragged into the quagmire of war in a strange land is definitely not a wise choice.
So in order to avoid the smoke, the two had to hide their auras and walk on the mainland as ordinary people.
During the time when we first set off, the earth was so quiet and peaceful, and the noise could only be heard in the city-state.
But now everything has changed. In order to compete for the seven divine positions given by heaven, the demon gods led their people to fight and kill each other.
After this incident, the conversations between the two on the road became less frequent.
War is cruel, and the earlier the elimination stage is, the time when its cruelty is at its highest.
In the bright campfire, dry wood was making a crackling sound.
Sparks splashed out and landed on A Cai's shoes, but she didn't care at all and continued to lie on her knees in a daze.
There are a few fish skewered next to the fire, which is a convenient delicacy that can be eaten in the wild.
"The fish is almost done. Let's fill our stomachs first and then feel sad."
Xuanjie, who had experienced it once, saw it clearly, but he had no choice but to witness the flames of war devouring countless lives.
Taking the grilled fish handed over by Xuan Jie, Ah Cai raised her head sadly, "Maybe it's as you said, what we can do is very insignificant, there is no way to change the situation and we can only do our best."
As a demon god, A Cai's character is a bit too soft, and she looks like a little girl and is not a threat at all.
However, if she has such a personality and goes through the Demon War, the outcome can only be failure.
No demon will show mercy to the delicate flowers. Giving in and being weak will only lead to destruction.
"It's okay. Just don't fight for the seven rulers of the world. Let them attack us and continue traveling around the world."
This is when the role of a partner comes into play. It’s good to have someone to talk to and talk to when you’re at a low point.
Not all demon gods have powerful powers, and there are obvious differences between them.
For example, some demons can hold up half the sky alone, while others need to work together to survive.
And those tribes that neither have strong power nor find allies in time are the first victims of the Demon God War.
"According to the map, we are passing through a dense mountain forest, with the ocean in front of us," Xuan Jie looked at the map and led the way.
"There are so many insects here...and we can't use divine power to form an energy shield, alas!"
Because a few bugs use divine power? Not really...
A Cai is more like a little girl than a god. Xuan Jie still can't imagine her participating in the war between demons and gods.
While walking in the dense forest covered with fallen leaves and vines, Ah Cai's eyes suddenly flashed as if she noticed something, and she ran directly to Xuan Jie and grabbed him.
"Wait a minute, there seems to be a lot of humans gathering on that mountain wall!"
Are there humans?
Following the direction pointed, Xuan Jie also noticed a faint human aura, which indicated that they were far away.
"You can actually detect such a long distance and accurately find the opponent's location!"
When Xuan Jie mentioned this, A Cai's face suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment.
"Uh...hehe, I must be more perceptive than you."
This statement could indeed be established, and Xuan Jie did not continue to ask questions.
The two of them walked towards the location that exuded human aura, and found that the deeper they went, the more hidden it became, as if they were deliberately hiding here.
The dense forest is covered with vines and tall trees are everywhere, and the creatures living here are particularly alert.
Just the sound of stepping on dry leaves can scare away forest pigs hundreds of meters away.
There are many traps along the road that do not catch prey. By observing that there is no bait placed on the traps, the possibility of catching prey is almost zero.
"Xuanjie, look at the cave above."
Following the direction pointed by A Cai, we found that several large holes had been drilled at the bottom of the rock wall, and equipment needed for human daily life appeared around them.
The stone pot set up on the firewood pile was still steaming, but there was no food in it, just a few roots and wild vegetables.
"There is obviously no demonic aura here, so why do humans gather in a place like this?"
Xuanjie did not reply to A Cai. He had just observed that these people had only been here for about half a month.
Coming to such a place during this time period can only mean that they are victims of the demon war.
"Is there a scene of people being displaced so soon? Unfortunately...this is just the beginning."
When the two of them stopped outside, several men quickly walked out of the cave.
They were wearing sweaters made of animal skins, their blackened hands were stained with blood, and their faces were very depressed.
"Who are you? Why did you find this place!"
Regarding the arrival of Xuan Jie and the two men, the man obviously had no intention of having a friendly conversation.
"We don't have any ill intentions. We are travelers from elsewhere. There are wars everywhere and there is really no place to go."
Seeing those who were in trouble at the same time, the leading man invited them into the cave.
There were more than thirty people inside, and many were seriously injured and fell to the ground dying.
According to the man's introduction, they were people from a nearby tribe. They had to run for their lives because the demon was beheaded.
The time he came here was the same as Xuan Jie guessed, half a month ago.
There were many children crying in the cave. The tribe had not caught prey for several days. I believe that it will not be long before the first group of people is reduced.
"Ah...uh! It hurts..."
Most of the injured were bitten by wild beasts. Medicinal herbs alone were useless for such wounds. The wounds had to be thoroughly cleaned and then applied with medicine, but the pain was definitely unbearable for most people.
Looking at everything around him, Xuanjie felt uncomfortable, but he didn't intend to change anything. Since he decided to travel, he had to stay away from these things.
But A Cai's solemn look clearly meant she wanted to help.
"By the way, you guys wait for us here, I'll go out and collect some medicine and come back."
After dragging Xuanjie to the wild, she started to get busy in the forest.
"These are herbs! Are you going to treat them? But you can't always show up here in time."
