human journey

Chapter 160 Returning to the Lake
The morale of the entire fleeing team was low, and everyone was tortured by the pursuit of the beast, and they had reached their limit both physically and psychologically.

The only hope in their hearts is Sunset City, which is only two or three days away.If you tell them that Sunset City has been destroyed, most of them will choose the last battle and die with the beast.

Fortunately, they are grassland tribes. Even ordinary tribesmen, even women, have trained amazingly physically. If they were not bitten to death by ferocious beasts, they would have exhausted themselves to death.

"The fierce beast is coming again, ready to fight!"

Said to a sharp-eyed awakened warrior at the end of the crowd.

After hearing the words they least wanted to hear in their life, the other dozens of people stopped moving forward, braced themselves, and prepared to fight.

In the distance in front of them, there are twenty or thirty animals of different shapes. They seem to have been transformed from aquatic creatures. They are all small beasts with a length of five or six meters, and they still look energetic.

The entire body surface is covered with scars, but they are all healed. The strong physical fitness of the beast is very suitable for this kind of long-distance and long-term pursuit.

Fortunately, their movement speed on the ground is much slower than that of ordinary land beasts. They are not as fast as awakened warriors, but faster than ordinary tribesmen.

Therefore, when these ferocious beasts catch up, the awakened warriors will fight with them, hinder them for a while, and then catch up with the team.

After such a cycle, after paying the price of more than half of the awakened soldiers being killed in battle, they managed to survive these days.

However, only a small part of the beasts died, and the rest of the combat power hardly weakened. The balance of victory was tilting towards the beasts. Maybe today is the time for this team to perish.

These awakened fighters who stayed in place and waited for the battle had also thought about this, and no one had the confidence to survive the upcoming battle.

Although they will die, in order to prove their courage, to fulfill the promise in their hearts, and to repay the tribe that raised them, they will never run away!

Seeing dozens of fierce beasts getting closer and closer, one of the soldiers, who had a broken arm and a blind eye, only had a simple bandage and was still oozing blood, said something.

"Brothers, I will have a drink with you in the next life, goodbye."

While speaking, he rushed forward with one hand waving the weapon, his tone was calm and his expression was calm, not as if he was going to die, but as if he was going home.

Perhaps, dying for the tribe is the destination he wants!

Although the others had tears in their eyes, they didn't stop him, because they would have done the same thing, they just rushed after him and shouted together.

"For the tribe!"

Although the courage and perseverance are commendable, there is a huge difference in strength. Their desperate attack did not cause many casualties to the group of ferocious beasts, while the people around them fell down one by one.

This time seems to be the last moment, the last straw that broke the camel's camel has fallen, at this most critical moment.

A figure rushed over from the side of the beast at an extremely fast speed, not far from exceeding the speed of sound.

In his hand, he held a two-meter-long weapon that emitted a dazzling white light and dragged a white flame. It was Lu Yu!
He and Piccolo ran eastward, and after half a day, they finally saw the first group of Sun Chaser Tribes in front of them in the distance.

Seeing these 1 people running desperately, and looking back from time to time, Lu Yu knew that there must be a fierce beast chasing after him at this time, so he directly charged the Skyfire Sword and rushed over at full speed.

Both the beast and the soldiers saw Lu Yu who was so imposing, the soldiers naturally recognized him, and recognized this divine sword that could kill beasts as easily as chopping melons and vegetables. The beast attacked.

As for the ferocious beasts, they didn't know Lu Yu, but they didn't prevent them from feeling Lu Yu's strength. Those who didn't confront the soldiers turned around and prepared to fight.

Soon, Lu Yu rushed into the group of ferocious beasts. None of these ferocious beasts who were invincible in front of the Sun Chasing Tribe could resist Lu Yu's move. After ten seconds, the battle was over.

These surviving warriors saw the fierce beast that was about to tear themselves into pieces just now, all of them were decapitated, only trembling weakly.

The burden that had been on them for the past few days finally fell, and they couldn't help crying with joy. Several people fainted directly, their nerves tensed, and their suffering bodies could no longer hold on.

And the warrior who was the first to rush forward had already been pierced through the chest by a ferocious beast when Lu Yu killed him. When he was dying, he saw the ferocious beast was killed, and the clansman who desperately guarded him was saved. He closed his eyes and left this world with a smile on his face.

"You guys rest for a while, there will be no fierce beasts chasing after you, and you will go to Sunset City when you regain your strength, where it is safe now.

When you arrive, tell them that you are from the Sunset Tribe, and the leader of Sunset City will arrange for you. I am also a member of the Sunset Tribe there. "

Lu Yu said to the soldiers who were still standing.

"Yes, Lord Carrot, thank you for coming to save us!"

These soldiers respected Lu Yu from the bottom of their hearts at this time, and this was the second time they had saved them.

At this time, Piccolo finally arrived, and he asked anxiously.

"Have you seen her?"

Piccolo was so excited that day that he forgot to ask the girl's name. Of course, these fighters knew who they were asking.

"I don't know. After the leader ordered everyone to disperse, I haven't seen the other clansmen, but don't worry, she will be under special protection. She should have escaped with a team with the most awakened fighters."

A soldier replied.

"It's not too late. The other scattered teams may be in a more dangerous situation. Let's set off immediately!"

After Lu Yu finished speaking, he continued to run eastward. His route was in the shape of a "Z", and he could search for the scattered members of the Chasing Sun Tribe to the greatest extent possible.

It didn't take long before they encountered a team of several thousand people, but there were no living people left, limbs and arms were broken all over the place, some scavengers were gnawing on the corpses, and the beasts were nowhere to be seen.

They didn't have time to collect it, so they had to speed up to find other teams.

Piccolo didn't dare to look into the corpses. It wasn't that he was afraid of the horrors, but that he was afraid of seeing familiar figures. It was always good to have a glimmer of hope.

In the next period of time, Lu Yu and the others would encounter scattered teams from the Chasing Sun Tribe from time to time, and some of them were still lingering in the pursuit of fierce beasts, and were successfully rescued by Lu Yu.There are also those who wiped out the whole team, but there is no news of Piccolo's "her".

Later, for a long time, they encountered the death team. They should not have been protected by awakened warriors, so they could not escape very far before they were chased and killed by fierce beasts.

Afterwards, they didn't encounter any fleeing crowds or beasts, and roughly calculated the number of people who might have escaped, which was almost the same as the total number of people they encountered alive or dead. This rescue operation has come to an end.

But there is still no news of that girl, and it is very possible that she is in a team that was destroyed.Both Lu Yu and Piccolo knew that there was a high possibility that this was the case, but neither of them said it.

After a long time, Lu Yu stopped, looked at Piccolo, and said softly.

"There should be no team from the Sun Chaser tribe ahead. Your girl either died in a passing death team or by the giant lake."

"Brother, go back to Sunset City first, you are needed there, I'm going to have a look at the lake, I want to see people when I live, and I want to see corpses when I die, if I encounter fierce beasts, I will fight them.

She told me that she was afraid of the dark when she was alone. It is said that the world after death is dark. She must be very scared now. If I die, I will go to accompany her! "

Piccolo interrupted Lu Yu's words, and he was about to turn into a red face in anger and fight towards the giant lake alone, feeling full of anger coming out of his red eyes.

Lu Yu patted Piccolo on the shoulder who was turning to leave, and said a few times.

"I'll go too, anyway, there must be a wise beast, and it will be killed sooner or later, it's better to kill it alone now.

The Sunset City has been arranged, so there shouldn't be any problems. Moreover, if the beasts really want to attack Sunset City, they must gather all the beasts on the grassland.

The Juhu one is no exception. Now that it has passed, it is a good time to find out about the movements of the beast. "

After hearing this, Piccolo nodded gratefully. He knew that the main reason why his elder brother went to Juhu was to help himself.

Now that they had made up their minds, the two of them ran towards the giant lake without stopping. Piccolo was so anxious that he squeezed out every strength in his body while running.

It was a bit difficult for Lu Yu, who was carrying the heavy Skyfire Sword, to follow. Occasionally, he had to charge the Skyfire Sword with low power to increase his speed to catch up.

One day later, Lu Yu and Piccolo, who had already penetrated deep into the grassland, traveled day and night, and finally came to the vicinity of the Juhu Lake. They lay on a low slope, secretly observing the situation ahead.

It was found that many of the tents set up by the Zhuri tribe at that time were still intact and not damaged.But the corpses that should be all over the ground are gone, and there is no blood on the ground, as if it has been cleaned up.

It stands to reason that ferocious beasts would not do this kind of thing. Even if they ate all the corpses, it would be impossible not to leave traces of blood and chaos.

Next, an even weirder scene appeared. People wearing Sun Chasing Tribal costumes came out of the tent, both men and women.

They did the same as before, washing and cooking, and organizing supplies.The only difference is that there is no communication between them, all of them are expressionless, like robots, lifeless.

"Brother, it's her!"

Piccolo suppressed his excitement and whispered.

He unexpectedly saw that the girl he loved was among them, and she was neatly dressed and well-groomed, as if she had never encountered a beast before.

It is also because of his strong self-awareness that he can control himself at all times, and an ordinary person would have jumped up and shouted long ago.

"Something's wrong. I'm afraid they were all devoured by ferocious beasts and transformed into puppets."

Lu Yu thought of what Lin Wei did back then, and said in a low tone.

"Brother, you...you mean, they are already dead, and what you see now are corpses used by fierce beasts!"

Piccolo stammered.
