In the dim forest, a group of people dressed entirely in black robes hurried along, leaping swiftly between the branches of giant trees.

After a while.

A group of people arrived at a huge camp, where several hundred people had gathered and were busy at work.

Upon closer inspection, there were many large iron cages around the gathering place, containing many ragged survivors, men and women, young and old.

Moreover, they were all imprisoned separately, and the iron cages were marked with categories.

Young and strong men were divided into one cage, young women into another, the elderly into another, children into another, and there were also some separate cages for either handsome men and beautiful women or those who had awakened in the sequence.

Moreover, the treatment inside the iron cage is also different.

The elderly person's cage was the dirtiest and most messy, with an unbearable stench and a lot of uncollected excrement inside.

Younger men and women are treated better, and their cages are cleaner.

The children in cages and those separated into individual groups received the best treatment, where they could also see any uneaten food and water.

Zhu Tianbo led a group of men in black robes through the cages on either side of the tent in a hurry. He looked at the humans locked in the cages on both sides with a complicated expression, but dared not look at them for too long.

He lowered his head and quickly went to the largest tent deep inside the settlement, then went inside.

"Grandpa Sheep, a large group of survivors has indeed arrived from the west, at least 5000 people. They are currently collecting supplies in the Black Mushroom Forest and will probably spend the night there."

Zhu Tianbo knelt on one knee.

Inside the tent sat a man, tall and imposing, far exceeding the average person, whose features were obscured by darkness.

All that could be seen was his loose-fitting, dark blue Ming-style official robe, adorned with a flying fish design outlined in gold thread, the pattern slightly raised.

Just sitting there, Zhu Tianbo and the others felt a powerful pressure, and their whole bodies tensed up.

"Oh? There are actually 5000 survivors?" Grandpa Sheep slowly emerged from the darkness, his face beaming with joy.

He was several meters tall, with a tall and thin build, but he had a huge black goat's head on his head. The eerie black goat's head had a grin on its lips and could actually speak human language.

"We're still 2000 short of the target. With so many survivors, you all have to give it your all this time."

"Once this shipment is delivered, you and your families can officially join our Beast City and receive the city lord's protection!"

"I will never have to worry about food again, and I will never have to be afraid of those weird things again."

Zhu Tianbo and the others were all delighted when they heard Grandpa Yang's promise.

They committed so many heinous acts, hunting their own kind, all for this promise.

"Grandpa Yang, there's one more thing to report to you."

"Li Chenggang, who was guarding the west side, was killed by the leader of this group of survivors. The entire squad was wiped out. The leader of this group of survivors seems to be extremely strong."

"We dared not approach easily, so we came back directly to report to you."

After Zhu Tianbo finished speaking, Grandpa Yang, who had just been overjoyed, visibly frowned.

"Li Chenggang is actually dead. That guy's sequence ability was pretty good. What a pity."

Zhu Tianbo also looked worried as he expressed his concerns.

"My lord, Li Chenggang's strength is extremely high among humans, already on par with mine. The fact that he was able to kill him so easily suggests that we..."

Zhu Tianbo didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was already very clear.

Grandpa Sheep looked at him, his huge black goat head smiling, and suddenly pulled out several black porcelain bottles from his pocket.

"Take this. This is a beast pill made by the city lord. After eating it, your strength will be enhanced several times over in a short period of time, and your body will also gain extreme regenerative power, making you immortal."

"Remember, the effect of the Beast Ball only lasts for 5 minutes. If you can't end the battle within 5 minutes, you'll just have to wait to die."

After Grandpa Yang finished speaking, he handed several black porcelain bottles to Zhu Tianbo, and then took out a large pottery jar covered with cracks from his bosom. The jar was wrapped in layers of black cloth, on which a large number of animal characters were written in black blood.

"This forbidden artifact is also for you. It's called the Beast-Sealing Jar. It contains its own world, filled with the rules of forbidden artifacts. Anyone below the third rank who is sucked in cannot escape!"

"In just a quarter of an hour, even if the opponent's physical body is strong, it will turn into a cub, and all its strength will be transformed into top-quality nutritional food."

"Remember, the Beast Sealing Jar is extremely precious; it's a forbidden, one-time-use item. You only have one chance."

Zhu Tianbo and the others were overjoyed when they saw the treasures that Grandpa Yang handed over.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Sheep, we guarantee we'll complete the mission!"

Grandpa Yang nodded, his burly body returning to his seat, and continued speaking.

"The Divine Tree of the Divine Tree Cult is about to awaken. We can stay here for a maximum of 7 days. After 7 days, for whatever reason, we must leave immediately."

"If you can't gather these two thousand people within seven days, then you and your families will have to go into cages too!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Tianbo and the others kneeling on the ground trembled, their eyes filled with terror, and they nodded repeatedly.

"Grandpa Yang, don't worry, even if it costs us our lives, we will gather 2000 people for you!"

"You definitely won't be disappointed!"

……

……

The next day.

The sky is bright.

Zheng Sheng sat cross-legged on a large rock, slowly opened his eyes, and there was still a trace of morning dew on his eyelashes.

He didn't sleep all night, staying by the pool the whole time, but nothing unexpected happened that night.

With a physical constitution 10 times stronger than the average person, even not sleeping all night had no effect on him.

"Fatty, Uncle Niu, pack up, we're getting ready to leave."

As Zheng Sheng spoke, he flipped himself onto Xiao Heizi and led the group to prepare to leave.

We waited all night, but Grandpa Yang's men didn't come. It seems they're not coming.

But it didn't matter. The longer he stayed in this forest, the more uneasy he felt. Clearly, beneath this tranquility lay a greater terror.

Last night, he even felt that this place was not as good as a human city. At least in a human city, the dangers are visible, but this forest always had an indescribable sense of oppression.

"Let's go!"

The team quickly regrouped and began to continue along the survival road from the previous day.

But just as they reached the halfway point, a group of familiar red figures appeared on the road again, blocking everyone's way.

"Captain, it's that woman in red again! This time she brought so many people!"

Zheng Sheng frowned and looked ahead at the road.

Behind Xiyue were over a hundred people, all dressed in red, with her brother carrying a wooden spear. They resembled a group of savages in priestly attire, exuding a dangerous aura.

Moreover, not only on the road, but also among the branches and canopies of trees on both sides of the road, there were many figures standing there as well.

Everyone stared at Zheng Sheng with fervent excitement, making him extremely uncomfortable.

"Captain, we meet again!"

tide Yue let out a silvery laugh, clearly indicating that her displeasure from last time had left her with a lingering grudge.
