I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 504: Man-made disaster!
Zhang Chen looked at the dozen tall figures in the distance, his eyes showing murderous intent: "It seems that our orphan and widow are too conspicuous!"

He mastered the blood control technique and could sense that there was no blood power in the bodies of those people. This was also the characteristic of the blood control technique. If there was a strong bloodline person on the opposite side, he would definitely not be able to escape the perception of the blood control technique.

"Would you like to practice?" Zhang Chen looked at Zhang Taowei.

Zhang Taowei can control living souls (souls in other people's bodies), and now is a good time to practice.

Zhang Taowei was eager to try after hearing this. Zhang Chen patted the big wild donkey, and the big wild donkey continued to move forward.

"Brother, they are just a few stupid thieves. I can kill them in a snap of my fingers. Why waste time and energy?" Cheng Yu on the side was also a little excited.

Zhang Chen patted Cheng Yu on the head and said, "You should practice well. It's not time for you to take action yet. They are just a few stupid thieves. It's just right for Cheng Yu to practice with them."

At this point, Zhang Chen took a breath and said, "It's a long way to Jiangnan, so we need a chance to practice."

The wild donkey cart continued to move through the wilderness, seemingly unaware of the crisis, until dark, when Zhang Chen stopped the cart, prepared to set up camp, and collected firewood to light a bonfire.

The food was goat meat that Zhang Chen had collected before. The goat was a goat demon that was killed by Zhang Chen's beast taming technique. Its flesh and blood was a great tonic.

As the aroma of barbecue filled the air, more than a dozen figures walked out of the darkness and surrounded Zhang Chen and his group. Looking at Zhang Chen and his group of five people, including the elderly, the weak, women and children, a strange smile appeared on their dirty faces.

The leader was a sturdy man. He ignored Zhang Chen and his group, and instead focused his eyes on the big wild donkey. Looking at the fat and strong big wild donkey and the big box on the cart, he couldn't help but have a gleam in his eyes. He reached out his hand to touch the big wild donkey's sturdy body: "Good donkey! Good donkey! What a good donkey!"

"What can I do for you?" Zhang Chen frowned and asked when he saw the leader stroking the wild donkey with his dirty hands. These dozen people were fat and strong, tall and powerful, and seemed to have not been affected by the disaster in the north. To be able to remain fat and strong in such a world, there is a lot of skill involved.

The leading man looked at Zhang Chen in front of the campfire and the roasted lamb chops that were crackling with fat. He swallowed subconsciously and stared at Zhang Chen with burning eyes: "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 come to me, I can protect you."

The big man moved his gaze away from the barbecue and looked at the fat body of the little fat boy. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva subconsciously. Anyone who can still have a fat body in this world must be the son of a wealthy family, and then fall into poverty, and the widow and orphan must flee.

The big man's gaze made the fat boy Zhang Fei's scalp numb. He took small steps to hide behind Zhang Chen and whispered, "Brother, I'm scared!"

Zhang Chen patted Zhang Fei's head and looked at the strong man: "Have you eaten human flesh?"

"How can we stay strong and alive in this world without eating human flesh?" The big man said with a smile. He sat down in front of the fire and reached for the lamb chops. "Don't worry, as long as you can find food for me, I won't eat you."

But before the sturdy man could even grab the lamb chops, his movements had already stopped. Zhang Taowei's voice was full of annoyance: "This is unbearable! My lamb chops have just been grilled. If you ruin them, won't I have to continue to starve?"

The next moment, the sturdy man pulled out a butcher knife from his waist, stood up suddenly and killed his companion beside him.

"Brother, why did you attack your own brother? Are you crazy?" A man looked at his own intestines all over the ground, a trace of horror in his eyes. He looked at the strong man in confusion, then fell to the ground and died.

The other people also looked at the sturdy man with disbelief on their faces. They saw that the sturdy man held the butcher knife with a somewhat stiff movement and continued to rush towards his companions.

Naturally, those companions were unwilling to sit and wait for death. They drew out the sticks from their waists and started fighting with the strong man.

Although the strong man had a butcher knife, his two fists were no match for four hands. In a moment, his head was broken and blood was flowing, and he fell to the ground without a breath.

The rest of the people looked at the two dead people in shock. Before they could come to their senses, they saw Zhang Taowei looking at one of them. That person suddenly jumped up and smashed his companion with the stick in his hand. But in a moment, there was another melee.

Zhang Chen looked at Zhang Taowei, and through the golden light of the God, he could see a light blue thread in the void, one end of which was connected to Zhang Taowei, and the other end was connected to one of the men.

"Right now, Zhang Taowei's bloodline has not yet reached the highest level. He can only control one person at a time, and he can only control ordinary people. But even so, it can be called magical. The Zhang family bloodline is indeed powerful. Facing Zhang Taowei's methods, they have no power to resist!" Zhang Chen said to himself.

However, Zhang Taowei's methods are not without weaknesses. His physical body is a weakness. Once someone gets close to him, even an ordinary man can kill him. "We must also strengthen his cultivation of the soul. The Yin God method complements it. His three souls and seven spirits are strong, which can help his bloodline become stronger." Zhang Chen said to himself.

"Ghost! It's haunted!"

At this moment, the remaining eight men realized something was wrong and thought they were attacked by some foul creature. They turned around and ran away with the howling of wolves and ghosts.

It was as if his own brothers were going crazy, killing him and others for no apparent reason. How could the others not be terrified?
However, before they could escape, the ground suddenly collapsed, burying them up to their knees. Then, in an instant, the ground turned into hard rammed earth, firmly fixing them there.

"We haven't fed the falcons and bumblebees yet." Zhang Chen slapped the beehive, and the next moment, a swarm of bumblebees swooped out and began to eat the people. The falcon's body also grew taller in an instant, and it gobbled up the people on the ground one by one like a bug.

For falcons, human blood is also a great tonic.

People are born with intelligence and are naturally blessed with good fortune, which is a great tonic for the demon race.

"Brother, you little bird..." When several people saw the sparrowhawk suddenly become three meters tall, swallow the corpses and living people on the ground, and then turned into a little pigeon, they were so frightened that they retreated one after another, not daring to approach the hunting falcon.

"This is my pet. It won't hurt anyone without orders. It can also be used to gather information in the future." Zhang Chen comforted them with a smile.

At this time, the hornet was flying around in the field, and the buzzing sound made people's scalps numb and they dared not move. The three little ones were so scared that their faces turned pale. Zhang's body was also stiff, and she said in a trembling voice: "I say, Zhang Chen, how can your hornet eat people? It won't sting us, right?"

"My bumblebees are all intelligent creatures. Don't be afraid, mother. They won't hurt you." Zhang Chen quickly comforted them and drove the group of bumblebees away from his mother.

Then he called his family to continue grilling and eating, but everyone's scalp was numb when they saw the buzzing bumblebees. Even Cheng Yu, who had already reached the realm of driving things, was pale at this moment. Although she could drive things with her soul, there were too many bumblebees here. Even if they were just ordinary bumblebees, they were outnumbered.

Once the Bumblebee attacks, she will not be able to gain any benefit and her body will be destroyed.

This shows the shortcomings of the Spiritual Soul cultivators in the early stages. As long as their physical bodies are discovered, they are not far from death.

The hornets finished eating, leaving only skeletons on the ground, and then returned to their nests. At this time, the field returned to silence. Zhang looked at Zhang Chen and said, "My son, I'm afraid we are in big trouble. We are thousands of miles away from home, and I don't know how many people will target us. We are orphans and widows, which means we are easy to bully and manipulate. I'm afraid this journey will not be peaceful."

"If there are people with bad intentions, just kill them!" Cheng Yu's eyes showed a murderous look. Not only did she awaken thunder and lightning, she was also a top-notch master in martial arts.

"I'm just afraid that I won't be able to kill them all!" Zhang Chen said to himself.

In fact, it was true. On the second day, Zhang Chen and his party continued on their journey. Before they had walked ten miles, they were surrounded by seven or eight homeless people who wanted to abuse their power and rob them. However, Zhang Taowei once again fought them off.

However, they had not walked far, before they had walked ten miles, they were surrounded by three men again, and their journey was delayed again.

By the time it was dark, the orphan and the widow had already suffered more than a dozen waves of robbery, and the group had not even traveled fifty miles.

After setting up camp again, Cheng Yu said in a very mature manner, "It's too troublesome. Bandits are nothing to be afraid of. It just takes up too much time and affects our mood. The refugees along the way are all bandits, and the bandits are refugees. It's impossible to tell them apart. We are weak and can't move forward in the north. We need to think of a way. Otherwise, we don't need to travel this day and just stand there and fight with these refugees."

Hearing Cheng Yu's complaints, several people looked at each other and then set their eyes on Zhang. Seeing this, Zhang Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I never thought that the situation in the north would be so chaotic. Those refugees are also engaged in robbing and looting. It's really hateful!"

"If we want to travel safely, we need to find a large family or caravan to follow. Maybe this can save us a lot of trouble." Zhang Chen said, stroking his chin.

It was also his first time traveling and he had no experience. In the past he would just fly high and then escape. How could he have known that human nature could be so corrupt?
Humans are no different from monsters!
How can anyone who has survived the severe drought until now be a simple person?
"Tomorrow we will find a caravan from a wealthy family to follow and see if we can solve the problem." Zhang Chen made up his mind.
