Those who reincarnate must die.

That gigantic one... is it dealt with too?

The Dugu siblings felt somewhat numb. They had once suspected that this guy called Hunter, the hero of Sunset Fortress, was not living up to his reputation.

But today, after witnessing him slaughtering insects with their own eyes, the brother and sister realized that the rumors they had heard before were indeed false... What the rumors said was less than a tenth of the reality!

This guy isn't a hero, he's practically a god!

Before the two could recover from the miraculous battle, a man covered in insect blood suddenly appeared behind them, grabbing one of them by the collar and pulling them along at breakneck speed...

Is he a hunter?

"What...what are you doing?" Dugu Lan turned around and asked, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt a gust of cold wind.

"I'll take you away!"

"Just us?" Dugu Chen asked. "There are others too!"

"I can't do anything about it!" Zhang Lang frowned. "I'm not a god, I only have two hands, I can only save the two of you!"

"But they..."

"If they die, other soldiers will take their place!" Zhang Lang said in a deep voice, "If you two die, who will protect the hundreds of thousands of people in Star City?"

"What are you saying?" Dugu Lan retorted angrily, "They are human beings too, with parents, wives, and children! They are no less than us!"

"All men are created equal!" Zhang Lang said, squinting. "But what each person is capable of is different!"

With that, Zhang Lang leaped over the city wall and sped towards Star City. The powerful wind pressure rendered the brother and sister speechless!

At Zhang Lang's speed, thirty miles would only take a few minutes. The Dugu siblings were blown so hard they could barely open their eyes, feeling the wind howling in their ears, and then suddenly they were lifted into the air, and then everything stopped...

Standing atop Star City, Zhang Lang released the Dugu siblings. As soon as they landed, they felt dizzy and unable to stand. They could only kneel on the ground and dry heave before recovering.

"I...we're back?" The two wiped their mouths in a disheveled state, looked at the familiar city walls, and were immediately overcome with sorrow.

"Those soldiers... they're all gone, and the grain too..." Dugu Chen pounded the city bricks in frustration. "The city's food supplies are running low, and I've failed Lord Lin's expectations!"

Zhang Lang frowned: "You've gone out to find food?"

"Yes..." Dugu Chen nodded, "The food supply in Star City is running out..."

"Why are you worried about food?" Zhang Lang asked, puzzled. "Isn't there food everywhere outside?"

"What?" The brother and sister looked up at Zhang Lang in surprise. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhang Lang sighed, took a piece of jerky from his ammunition pouch, and tossed it to them: "Have a taste!"

The two were taken aback, then took a bite. Although it was dry, it was soft and delicious!

"What kind of meat is this?" The brother and sister looked at Zhang Lang in surprise. This thing was completely different from the other dried meat they had ever eaten.

"I made it with insect meat!" Zhang Lang pointed outside the city wall. "I have as much of that ingredient as you want!"

"Insect meat?!" The brother and sister immediately looked disgusted upon hearing this: "How can you eat that stuff?"

"Why can't we eat it?" Zhang Lang looked at them. "When people are starving to death, they'll even eat human flesh, so what's wrong with insect flesh? Do you really intend to see people exchanging their own children to eat?"

"Uh..." Dugu Lan was momentarily speechless, then retorted, "But who knows if insect meat is poisonous!"

"You just ate!" Zhang Lang pointed at them. "You're not dead!"

"You..." Dugu Lan was completely speechless. Dugu Chen, standing to the side, said, "The hunter is right... Now is not the time to be picky. As long as we can survive, we should eat the insect meat!"

"But..." Dugu Lan still seemed unable to get over this mental hurdle.

At this moment, Zhang Lang suddenly frowned and looked around: "Have your city defenses... always been this lax?"

"Huh?" Dugu Chen was taken aback, then looked around and immediately sensed something was wrong: "Where are the soldiers guarding the city? Why are the city walls so empty? Could they have been attacked by insects too...?"

Zhang Lang frowned, his ears twitching slightly: "There's some commotion in the city center... a very big commotion!"

The brother and sister were shocked to hear this and immediately went down the city wall and ran into the city.

Soon, the Dugu siblings also heard the commotion. The closer they got to the city center, the louder the noise became. When they approached the city lord's mansion, they climbed up a tall building and finally saw what was happening.

A large number of soldiers, along with countless civilians armed with wooden sticks, kitchen knives, and shovels, completely surrounded the streets surrounding the city lord's mansion. Leading the charge was a group of mages clad in yellow robes. Meanwhile, at the city lord's mansion, Lord Lin was leading a considerable number of soldiers in resistance, confronting the rebellious soldiers and civilians.

"What on earth is going on?" Dugu Chen's eyes widened. The distance was too great to hear what they were arguing about. Zhang Lang, with his exceptionally sharp hearing, squinted and said, "Those rebellious civilians and soldiers are blaming City Lord Lin for withholding grain...it seems those yellow-robed Taoist priests are stirring things up!"

"Those damned charlatans!" Dugu Lan gritted her teeth in hatred. "I told you they had ulterior motives! Brother, you should have listened to me and arrested them all!"

Dugu Chen also felt guilty: "I thought they were just a civilian organization, but I didn't expect so many soldiers to be misled by them... This is troublesome. Xiao Lan, let's go there quickly and persuade those soldiers!"

"I'll help you!" Zhang Lang grabbed the two siblings by the back of their collars and leaped into the air.

Even setting aside morality and emotions, his mission is to ensure the survival of the people of Star City. If most of them are killed due to infighting, causing his mission to fail, it would be a huge loss!

Zhang Lang has accumulated quite a few points these past few days, and he doesn't want them to go to waste!

"Listen to me, everyone!" Under the protection of the soldiers, Lord Lin still couldn't bring himself to take action and earnestly persuaded them: "I didn't mean to withhold food. It's just that the city's reserves are insufficient... Moreover, I have already sent the Dugu siblings out of the city with people to find food. They will be back in a day or two. Don't worry, there will definitely be food. Even if I, Lin, go hungry, I will make sure that the people in the city are well-fed."

"Hmph! Lord Lin, don't try to play the good guy now!" A Taoist priest in a yellow robe said sarcastically, "When have you officials ever cared about the lives of our common people? There's no grain in the city now, and I bet you've hidden it in the government's private treasury!"

"That's right!"

"Break into the government office and open the granaries to distribute grain!"

The people were outraged, and the situation was extremely tense.

Just then, Zhang Lang suddenly descended from the sky with the Dugu siblings, landing between the two sides!
