The next day.
Chen Qianxue and Qin Jiao entered the mountain of desolation together.
Perhaps it was because they were lucky, but they met a group of refugees in Savage Mountain.
There were not many refugees, only about a thousand of them.
The reason why Chen Qianxue and the others paid extra attention to them was that this group of refugees had entered the desolate mountain range.
And… There were actually Immortal cultivators among them!
There seemed to be a leader.
It seemed that this Immortal cultivator was the one who had brought these 1,000 refugees into the desolate mountain range.
This made Chen Qianxue feel strange. Why would a dignified Immortal cultivator mingle with a group of refugees?
Was it out of kindness? Did he want to save them?
The problem was… If he wanted to save these displaced people, why did he bring them into such a dangerous place?
Although Chen Qianxue had never entered Savage Mountain before, she had heard of the dangers here.
It was said that there were numerous demonic beasts in the desolate mountains.
In the past, there were often demonic beasts that would come out to wreak havoc in all directions.
Such a dangerous place, why did that Immortal cultivator bring these refugees in?
Was he not afraid that these refugees would become food for the demonic beasts?
With one doubt after another in her heart, Chen Qianxue decided not to alert the enemy for the time being, because she wanted to know what the Immortal cultivator’s purpose was, and what the other party wanted to do by bringing so many refugees into the savage mountains.
So…
Chen Qianxue began to change her appearance.
“Is there a need to go through so much trouble? Just capture him and interrogate him, isn’t that enough?”
Qin Jiao could not help but mutter at the side.
However…
She also changed her appearance.
The other Great Wei Secret Guards were the same.
After changing their appearance, they were able to perfectly conceal the unique temperament of the Immortal cultivators.
Right now, they did not look like Immortal cultivators at all, but more like a group of people in distress.
That’s because… Only by dressing up like this could they naturally blend in with these refugees, and they would not attract too much attention.
Chen Qianxue, who had blended in with the refugees, kept looking at the physical condition of these refugees. What surprised her was that these refugees still looked energetic.
There was no color on their faces at all. Instead, their faces were quite rosy.
They could be called refugees.
Generally speaking…
It must be because they were homeless, and they ate every meal every day. It might even take a few days before they could barely eat a meal. Usually, they would eat some grass roots and tree bark to satisfy their hunger.
If this went on, these refugees should be showing signs of weakness. They should all be weak and not have much strength to walk on.
However, these refugees were all strong! They were very energetic!
Such a strange situation… Even Qin Jiao, who was a Human Tool with a relatively big mind, felt that something was wrong.
Qin Jiao frowned and walked among the crowd, enduring the stinky smell, she whispered to Chen Qianxue, “Don’t you think these people are very strange! Are they really homeless refugees? Why do I feel like they don’t shower much, causing their bodies to stink…”
“It seems like they are no different from a group of people going out for a hike!”
When Chen Qianxue heard this, she also replied telepathically, “How can there be more than a thousand people going out for a hike together? And they are even going out for a hike in such a dangerous place like Savage Mountain?”
“Be patient. After waiting for a few more days, you will eventually discover some clues.”
As time passed.
Very soon, evening arrived.
Chen Qianxue and Qin Jiao noticed that this group of refugees seemed to have a tacit understanding of each other as they stopped in their tracks. Then, each of them either sat on the soft ground to rest or leaned against a huge rock to take out a water bottle to drink.
After that, Chen Qianxue saw a scene that caused her to be rather stunned.
She saw a rather loud-sounding refugee tearing at his throat, he shouted at the crowd, “Everyone! The Immortal cultivator is going to distribute the rations for the journey! Everyone will have a share! There’s water, there’s food, and there’s meat! But everyone can only take one share. The adults will take the large portion, and the elderly and children will take the small portion. Don’t be greedy, don’t fight over it.”
“If someone intentionally fights over other people’s food, don’t blame the Immortal cultivator for being impolite! Remember! Don’t fight over it! Just like before, line up one by one, and don’t cut in line!”
After these words were spoken, the group of refugees stood up with very skilled movements.
Then, they formed a long line.
Everyone’s faces were filled with anticipation as if they could really obtain food.
It was as if this was not the first time that the so-called Immortal cultivator had distributed food.
Chen Qianxue and the others also followed the stream of people and entered the line.
Moreover, their positions were still relatively close to the front.
Not long after, Chen Qianxue saw the Immortal cultivator who had bewitched the refugees into the Savage Mountain up close. It was not quite what she had expected. She discovered that although this Immortal cultivator’s strength was weak. His righteous temperament was difficult to interpret.
Why would such a righteous Immortal cultivator bewitch so many refugees?
She did not understand.
However, Chen Qianxue did not take the initiative to attack. Instead, she took a piece of food and a beast skin water bottle from the other party.
“Huh?”
When she took the food, Chen Qianxue keenly discovered that there was a demonic beast’s aura on the food!
