Chapter 2053: Affected Villages
The people from the Matchless Sword School can guess Zhao Hais ident.i.ty all they want, but Zhao Hai wouldnt care about them. He also wouldnt care if they figured anything out. He was currently hurrying along on the road.
The battle was already three days ago and it has been more than a month since he left the sect. He didnt expect so many things to happen in just a month.
Although Zhao Hai was hurrying along, he might as well be walking. This was because he didnt have any worries in his mind. He moved at a speed that was comfortable to him. When he went out before, he would use his h.e.l.l Kings s.h.i.+p, winged horse, or his demon horse; he doesnt have a lot of opportunities to walk on his feet. This gave Zhao Hai an opportunity for a rare experience.
As he walked forward, Zhao Hai said, Little Thing, do you think that theres other problems with those guys? They seem to care so much about the meat. After I head back, Ill ask the Masters about this. The little mouse responded with a squeak. His face had an expression of longing.
Looking at the mouses reaction, Zhao Hai couldnt help but smile, Little Thing, you really can recognize good things. What a pity, Laura and the others arent inside the s.p.a.ce. If they were, they would shower you with delicious food. Right, its been a month since I left. n.o.body should care if Laura and the others entered the s.p.a.ce. I wonder how that kid Qiu Tie is doing right now.
The little mouse squeaked twice. Zhao Hai smiled faintly and took out a communicator connected to Laura. This communicator included a three-dimensional projector that showed the callers body. Before long, Lauras figure appeared on the communicator.
Actually, the two talked often before, so they dont miss each other too much. Zhao Hai looked at Laura and said, You seem to have lost weight. Is something going on?
Laura shook her head and said, Theres nothing. You dont have to worry. Everything is fine here. How about you?
Zhao Hai smiled and said, Im doing well. By the way, this is something I acquired along the way. Little Thing, come, greet your Masters wife. The small mouse stood up on Zhao Hais shoulder and then waved towards Laura. Its lovable appearance caused Laura to smile.
Zhao Hai smiled and said, How are the two Masters?
Laura smiled and said, Theyre doing well. They rarely go out. I think theyre worried that their killing aura would affect Qiu Tie. Little Tie is still seriously training. But hes getting less and less talkative. His training seems to be getting more intense. Im afraid he wont be able to bear it.
Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, He can endure the hards.h.i.+p, only then will he become a top powerhouse. Right, its been some time since I went out. I think you can return to the s.p.a.ce to take a look. A couple of days ago, I managed to obtain a Plum Blossom tree from an underground labyrinth. You can boil its branches and bathe in it to increase your bodys defense. Give some to Qiu Tie as well. Hes walking the path of a body cultivator, its better for him to have a stronger body. Laura nodded.
Zhao Hai replied, If you have time, go and ask the two Masters why the Matchless Sword School values ingredients so much. For the sake of a meat from the s.p.a.ce, they fought against me. I want to know whats going on.
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Laura couldnt help but ask, Matchless Sword School? Isnt that another great sect? Are you fine?
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, Im alright. However, I dont know if they will send people after me. But that doesnt matter, there are already plenty of people who want to kill me, having more wouldnt change anything.
Laura replied with worry, Brother Hai, you need to be careful. If you count in the Matchless Sword School, there are three great sects coming after you. And your ident.i.ty isnt a secret. It can be said that everyone in the Sword Hegemon Sect knows your name. The Matchless Sword School will likely know about your ident.i.ty soon. If they do, they will chase you down. And if they work with the Sword Hegemon Sect, you will be in more trouble.
Zhao Hai nodded, I know this. But I must know why the Matchless Sword School is so attracted to meat. I think if not for the meat, they wouldnt have chased me.
Laura nodded, Ill ask the two Masters about this as soon as possible. Be careful. Zhao Hai nodded, then he ended the call.
The little mouse who stood on Zhao Hais shoulder pointed towards the phone in Zhao Hais hand and squealed. Zhao Hai turned his head and then tossed the communication device over. The mouse tossed the device over and over, clearly very curious about it.
Zhao Hai didnt mind the little mouse. He continued to move forward and walked slowly for two hours more. Originally, he planned to find a good location to rest. However, he saw a small village just right ahead. So he changed his mind and decided to stay in the village.
The village wasnt big. The entire village should only have around 50 families in it. When Zhao Hai entered the village, he couldnt help but stare. This was because the image in his mind of a village was vastly different compared to the scene in front of him. The small village has people, but all of them have ashen complexions. Moreover, some children were barely clothed. The village looked more like a refugee camp.
Zhao Hai was confused. How could such a thing happen to a village like this? He looked around and found that when the villagers saw him, they unconsciously shrunk their heads. It was as if he was a mountain tiger that would attack at any time.
He didnt know why, but Zhao Hai felt that the people in the village didnt have the feeling of awe upon seeing a cultivator. On the contrary, he could see fear.
Zhao Hai also saw a small inn in the village. He quickly walked over. Inside the inn were two people, an old man and an old woman.
One could see that it was a small inn. This inn didnt have anyone inside. There was only the old man sitting on the counter while the old woman was cleaning the tables.
Seeing Zhao Hai arrive, the old man immediately stood up. He walked forward and then bowed, Respectable Sir, welcome. If youre here to eat, Ill have to apologize. Our small shop doesnt have any food. We also dont have any liquor. If you have food, we can help you cook it.
Zhao Hai stared, he looked at the old man and asked, Senior, why is the village like this? I could see that the villages location is good. How can you have no food? Also, the people in the village look very bad. What happened?
The old man looked at Zhao Hai and sighed, Misters observation is correct. The village is in a good location. In the past, everyone lived good lives. But this year is different. A huge insect plague arrived and ate everything. Although the Tyrant Blade Sect managed to suppress the insects, nothing was left for the village to harvest. Now everyone has problems finding food. A lot of people ate grain seeds. I dont know if we can survive until next year.
Zhao Hai was stunned, then his expression couldnt help but change. He knew farming too well. If it werent for a famine, farmers wouldnt eat their grain seeds. Seeds represented hope for farmers. Without seeds, they wouldnt have anything to plant in the next season. Then they would have no food.
While frowning, Zhao Hai couldnt help but ask, The Tyrant Blade Sect didnt do anything? Youre hit by a disaster, the sect should be offering help.
The old man looked at Zhao Hai and said, Sir, are you joking? How can the Tyrant Blade Sect worry about these things? Were hit by a disaster, what does that have to do with the Tyrant Blade Sect?
Zhao Hai felt his mind shake. He quickly understood the issue. The Tyrant Blade Sect helped the farmers destroy the insect plague, but that was it. In the True Spirit Realm, cultivators held the dominant position. Most cultivators think that they are different compared to average people. In their minds, mortals were there to serve them. They can offer their protection to the mortals, but the mortals would have to pay them back. Therefore, even if they help mortals during disasters, helping them recover from a disaster wasnt included.
This was the biggest difference between the True Spirit Realm and Earth. In the True Spirit Realm, cultivators dont think too much about average people. In the eyes of cultivators, mortals were like ants. They werent worth their care.
Seeing Zhao Hais complexion change, the old man didnt know what he was thinking about. He didnt dare disturb Zhao Hai either. He was afraid of offending Zhao Hai.
The old man has seen a lot of things in his life. After their village was. .h.i.t by the disaster, they thought about asking cultivators for help. Even if they begged on their knees, cultivators wouldnt even look them in their eyes. They would be disappointed again and again. Sometimes, cultivators would even punch the cultivators who begged them. Fortunately, cultivators wouldnt dare kill the villagers because they were under the protection of the Tyrant Blade Sect. Even so, it was enough for the villagers to be afraid of cultivators. This was the reason why everyone was so afraid of Zhao Hai when he entered the village.
Zhao Hai recovered, then he looked at the old man before turning his head outside. He felt that he should do something for them.
He took his communication device out and sent a message to Laura. Before long, Lauras projection appeared. Looking at Zhao Hais ugly expression, she couldnt help but ask, Brother Hai? Whats wrong?
Zhao Hai told Laura about the situation of the village. Hearing this, Lauras expression also turned serious. When Zhao Hai finished talking, Laura sighed and said, This is the difference between the True Spirit Realm and the Lower Realms. What do you plan to do?
Zhao Hai replied, Inform the two Masters. Ill tell you the coordinates of the village. Have the two Masters help the surrounding region. The quicker the better.
