Chapter 504: A Man-Made Disaster!
Zhang Chen looked at the dozen or so tall figures in the distance, a hint of killing intent in his eyes: "It seems that we orphans and widows are still too eye-catching!"
He possessed the Blood Control Art and could sense that there was no bloodline power in the bodies of those people. This was also a characteristic of the Blood Control Art; if the other party had a bloodline powerhouse, it would be impossible to escape the Blood Control Art's perception.
"Want to practice?" Zhang Chen looked at Zhang Tuowei.
Zhang Tuowei could control living souls (the souls in other people's bodies), and right now was a good time to practice.
Zhang Tuowei was eager to try. Zhang Chen patted the wild donkey, and the wild donkey continued to move forward.
"Senior Brother, these are just a few stupid thieves. I can kill them with a flick of my finger, why waste time and energy?" Cheng Yu was also a little excited.
Zhang Chen patted Cheng Yu's head: "You should cultivate properly, it's not your turn to take action yet. It's just a few stupid thieves, it's just right for Cheng Yu to practice."
Speaking of this, Zhang Chen took a breath: "Going to Jiangnan is a long journey of thousands of miles, and there will be plenty of opportunities for everyone to practice."
The wild donkey cart continued to move through the wilderness, seemingly unaware of the danger. It wasn't until dark that Zhang Chen stopped the donkey cart, preparing to set up camp, collect firewood, and light a bonfire.
They ate the goat meat that Zhang Chen had collected earlier. That goat was a goat demon killed by Zhang Chen's Beast Control Art, and its flesh and blood were a great tonic.
As the aroma of grilled meat filled the air, a dozen figures emerged from the darkness, surrounding Zhang Chen and his party. Looking at Zhang Chen's group of five, old, weak, women, and children, a strange smile appeared on their dirty faces.
The leader was a strong man, ignoring Zhang Chen and his party, and instead focusing his gaze on the wild donkey. Looking at the fat and strong wild donkey, and the large boxes on the cart, a glint of light appeared in his eyes. He reached out and stroked the wild donkey's strong body: "Good donkey! Good donkey! Really a good donkey!"
"Do you gentlemen have any business?" Zhang Chen frowned when he saw the leader stroking the wild donkey with his dirty hands, and asked.
These dozen or so people were fat and strong, tall and powerful, and seemed to have not been affected by the disaster in the north. Being able to maintain such a fat and strong body in this world was very telling.
The leader looked at Zhang Chen in front of the bonfire, and the grilled lamb chops dripping with oil, and subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then stared at Zhang Chen intently: "Boy, it's not easy for you orphans and widows to survive in this world. I'll give you a chance, as long as you join me, I can protect you."
The strong man's gaze moved away from the grilled meat and looked at the little fat man's fat, and subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Being able to have such a fat body in this world must be the descendants of a wealthy family, who had fallen into decline and were escaping as orphans and widows.
The strong man's gaze made the little fat man Zhang Fei's scalp tingle. He moved in small steps and hid behind Zhang Chen, whispering: "Big brother, I'm scared!"
Zhang Chen patted Zhang Fei's head, his eyes looking at the strong man: "Have you eaten human flesh?"
"How can you stay strong and survive in this world without eating human flesh!" The strong man said with a smile, and while speaking, he sat directly in front of the fire and reached out to grab the lamb chops: "Don't worry, as long as you can find food for me, I won't eat you."
However, before the strong man's hand could grab the lamb chops, his movements froze. Zhang Tuowei's voice was full of annoyance: "This is unbearable! I just grilled these lamb chops, if you ruin them, won't I have to continue to go hungry?"
The next moment, the strong man drew a pig-slaughtering knife from his waist, suddenly stood up, and killed his companion beside him.
"Big brother, why are you attacking your own brothers? Are you crazy?" A man looked at his intestines that were all over the ground, a look of horror in his eyes, looking at the strong man in confusion, and then fell to the ground and died.
The others also looked at the strong man in disbelief, and the strong man, his movements somewhat stiff, carried the pig-slaughtering knife and continued to charge towards his companions.
Those companions naturally refused to sit and wait for death. At this time, they also drew out the sticks from their waists and began to fight with the strong man.
Although the strong man had a pig-slaughtering knife, it was difficult for two fists to fight four hands. In a short while, he was already bleeding from his head and died, falling to the ground and no longer breathing.
The remaining people looked at the two dead people in shock. Before they could recover, Zhang Tuowei's gaze looked at one of them, and that person suddenly erupted, smashing the stick in his hand towards his companion beside him. In a short while, there was another melee.
Zhang Chen looked at Zhang Tuowei. Through the True God Golden Light, he could see a faint blue thread in the void, one end connected to Zhang Tuowei, and the other end connected to one of the men.
"Zhang Tuowei's bloodline has not yet entered the ranks. He can only control one person at a time, and only ordinary people. But even so, it can already be called miraculous. The Zhang family's bloodline is indeed powerful, and they have no power to resist Zhang Tuowei's methods!" Zhang Chen thought to himself.
However, Zhang Tuowei's methods were not without weaknesses. His physical body was his weakness. Once someone got close to him, even an ordinary man could kill him.
"It is necessary to strengthen his cultivation in the Divine Soul Dao. The Yin God Method complements each other. His three souls and seven spirits are strong, which can assist the strength of his bloodline." Zhang Chen thought to himself.
"Ghost! There's a ghost!"
At this moment, the remaining eight men realized something was wrong. Thinking they had encountered something dirty, they howled like wolves and turned to run.
Their own brothers seemed to be crazy, inexplicably attacking and killing them. How could the others not be horrified?
However, before they could escape, the soil suddenly collapsed, burying the men's knees to the roots, and then in an instant, the soil turned into hard rammed earth, firmly fixing the men there.
"Today is just right, I haven't fed the falcon and the bumblebee yet." Zhang Chen patted the beehive, and the next moment, swarms of bumblebees pounced out, gnawing at the men. The falcon's body also became tall in an instant, swallowing the people on the ground like insects.
For the falcon, human blood was also a great tonic.
Humans are born with intelligence, and naturally have good fortune in their bodies, which is a great tonic for the demon race.
"Big brother, your little bird…" The men saw the sparrowhawk suddenly become three meters tall, swallowing the corpses and living people on the ground, and then turning into a small pigeon again, and were so frightened that they retreated again and again, not daring to approach the falcon.
"This is my pet, it dares not hurt people without orders, and it will also be used to scout news in the future." Zhang Chen said with a smile, comforting the people.
At this time, bumblebees were flying in the field, the buzzing sound making people's scalps tingle and dare not move. The three little ones were frightened and their faces turned pale, and Zhang Shi's body was also stiff, trembling as she said: "I said Zhang Chen, how can your bumblebees eat people? Won't they sting us?"
"My bumblebees are all good things that have opened their minds, mother, don't be afraid, they won't hurt you." Zhang Chen quickly comforted, and at the same time drove the group of bumblebees away from his mother.
Then he greeted his family to continue grilling meat and eating, but everyone's scalps tingled as they looked at the buzzing bumblebees. Even Cheng Yu, who had already cultivated the realm of driving objects, was pale at this time. Although she could drive objects with her soul, she couldn't stand the fact that there were too many bumblebees here. Even if they were just ordinary bumblebees, she couldn't stand the fact that there were so many of them.
Once the bumblebees attacked, she was afraid that she would not get any benefits, and her physical body would be destroyed.
From this, it can be seen that the early shortcomings of the Divine Soul Dao cultivator, as long as someone finds their physical body, they are not far from death.
After the bumblebees finished eating, leaving only a ground of skeletons, and then returned to the nest, the field returned to silence. Zhang Shi then looked at Zhang Chen: "My son, we are afraid that we are in big trouble. This journey south is thousands of miles away, and I don't know how many people will be eyeing us. We orphans and widows are easy to bully and manipulate, I'm afraid this road will not be peaceful."
"If there are those who harbor evil intentions, just kill them!" A murderous aura appeared in Cheng Yu's eyes. She not only awakened lightning, but her martial arts cultivation was also one of the best in the world.
"I'm just afraid that we can't kill them all!" Zhang Chen thought to himself.
In fact, this was indeed the case. The next day, Zhang Chen and his party continued on their way, and before they had traveled ten miles, they were surrounded by seven or eight vagrants who wanted to act tough and plunder, and were once again sent away by Zhang Tuowei.
It was just that they hadn't gone far, and before they had traveled ten miles, they were surrounded by three men again, and the journey of several people was delayed again.
By the time it was dark, the orphans and widows had suffered more than a dozen robberies, and the group had not traveled fifty miles.
After setting up camp again, Cheng Yu said in an old-fashioned way: "It's too troublesome. Common bandits are not to be feared, but it's too time-consuming and affects the mood too much. On this road, the refugees are the bandits, and the bandits are the refugees. It is no longer possible to distinguish them clearly. We are few and weak in the north and it is difficult to move an inch. We still need to think of a way. Otherwise, there is no need to travel this day, just stand there and fight with this group of refugees."
Hearing Cheng Yu's complaints, several people looked at each other, and then focused their gaze on Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen smiled bitterly when he saw this: "I didn't expect that the situation in the north would be so chaotic. Those refugees are also doing the work of robbing homes, it's really hateful!"
"If we want to travel safely, we still need to find large families and caravans to follow, which may reduce a lot of trouble." Zhang Chen stroked his chin and said.
He was also traveling for the first time and had no experience. In the past, he would go high and low and escape directly, how could he know that human nature would be so chaotic?
People are no different from demons!
How could there be simple people who have survived from the great drought years of the past?
"Tomorrow, we will first find a caravan of a large family to follow, and see if it can solve the trouble." Zhang Chen made up his mind.
