MTLNOVEL Chapter 1150: Clash of Blades
And those discarded corpses soon started to move.
They struggled to crawl out of the pools of blood, but their eyes had already lost their luster. They, like those bizarre living dead, gradually turned pale, and the white hair on their faces grew longer and longer.
This group of over ten thousand people, including Yuwen Ji, continued to follow the main force, inching closer to that forest.
...
Meanwhile, the people in the forest were nearly done with their last round of harvesting before winter.
The livestock barn's
heating was set up, and charcoal was also prepared.
The one thing this forest had in abundance was wood. Making charcoal from wood was something that Old Uncle Qiu and even the skilled farmers knew how to do.
Together, they turned all the leftover wood from Old Uncle Qiu's smoked meat into charcoal, and now they even had a large warehouse exclusively for storing charcoal.
With these supplies, everyone was actually somewhat looking forward to winter.
Of course, something interesting happened recently.
Earlier, Bai Junjun had acquired many chickens, ducks, geese, horses, dogs, and cattle from the bandits. Over the past few months, the chickens, ducks, and geese had laid quite a few eggs.
Because of the abundance of resources here, no one bothered to eat the eggs, allowing the chickens, ducks, and geese to keep them in their nests as brood eggs.
Unexpectedly, these eggs hatched into chicks, ducklings, and goslings.
When the people were setting up the heating, they discovered many chirping little chickens, ducks, and geese in the poultry nests.
These are truly treasures!
No one could have imagined finding so many good things here, they were incredibly excited.
The children rushed to the livestock barn every day to play with the chicks, ducklings, and goslings.
Just as the Immortal Cave buzzed with a bountiful harvest, the long-missing Mosquito-eating Plant suddenly emerged from some hidden corner.
It traversed mountains and rivers in a single bound to reach Bai Junjun's side, its leaves clawing at Bai Junjun's boots, twisting and wriggling its body to swiftly climb onto Bai Junjun's shoulder, where its dozen or so sepals began chattering away in Bai Junjun's ear.
The people here had long become accustomed to the Mosquito-eating Plant's peculiarity, so much so that they were numb to its sentience.
No one regarded it as a plant, treating it like a pet dog instead.
Some would even catch mosquitoes and insects just in case, and toss a handful to it when it passed by.
The creature, unfazed by strangers, merrily devoured them all.
However, encounters with this creature were rare due to the vastness of the forest and its ability to move, running wilder than the Wild People themselves.
Seeing it during broad daylight was a rare sight, and it resembled a child returning home to its parents after being bullied.
Everyone couldn't help but focus on it, eager to know who had bullied the Mosquito-eating Plant so they could back it up.
The only one who could understand the Mosquito-eating Plant, Bai Junjun, listened to its rapid chatter, then nodded and said, "I understand, well done."
"???" Everyone wondered what had just happened.
Bai Junjun calmly looked at everyone and said, "Some ignorant little thieves have sneaked in. Everyone gather, women and the elderly retreat to the Immortal Mansion for safety, men come with us."
"!!!" The crowd erupted in astonishment.
But after the initial surprise, they hurried to find their weapons.
During this time, Mr. Shan Hai had made quite a few large knives for everyone, but these were left gathering dust in a corner, and now they finally had the chance to use them.
