Fang Yue frowned slightly.

"Is that unusual? But didn't you say before that on village roads, you rarely encounter anything bizarre, that the bizarre tends to avoid village roads?"

"It's different. When I said the village roads were safe, I meant the probability of encountering something bizarre is much lower than in the wilderness, and they can dispel the bizarre. But… after walking such a long distance in a single day, and with such a large target, not even a single small bizarre creature… To me, that's very strange."

"So what are you thinking now? Do you think something might be happening?"

Hearing Fang Yue's question, the blood hunter frowned even more deeply.

"Ye-ge, have you ever seen ants moving their nests?"

"Ants moving their nests? I've seen it, why?"

"When ants encounter danger or special weather, they move their nests and leave. I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I have a faint feeling in my heart, as if… other bizarre entities have sensed some danger and are fleeing in a certain direction, creating a temporary blank area devoid of the bizarre."

The blood hunter's statement left Fang Yue somewhat bewildered.

A great danger that is causing a large number of bizarre entities to retreat in unison?

Could it be that strange?

Fang Yue wondered if he had faced so many difficulties when going to Mo Village, would he also encounter big trouble when returning?

"Blood hunter, is your guess reliable?"

"Not reliable, it's all just my own feeling, but it's better to believe it than not. I've been a hunter for so many years, and I'm quite confident in my intuition. Even though I'm a cripple now, it doesn't affect my intuition."

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"…Ye-ge, I want the team to travel as fast as possible, trying not to stop in other villages for too long, resting for only two days and one night, or three days and one night, and head straight for Guyue Village along the village road.

"If we catch up with the tail end of the bizarre entities' flight, we might be able to learn some of the truth. If we encounter normal, frequent bizarre creatures, then that would mean I guessed wrong, and I'm just worrying needlessly, and we can slow down. What do you think?"

The blood hunter had thought it through very carefully, and must have considered how to respond to this situation after discovering it.

So, when you're out and about, it's good to have a reliable old person with you, so you won't be completely clueless when something happens.

If Fang Yue were simply leading the team, he would never have thought that not encountering anything bizarre along the way would be a problem, let alone associate it with some kind of ant phenomenon.

"Then let's do it according to your plan. When I'm not around, the team is entirely under your command, as long as you remember one thing: if something happens, wake me up immediately!"

Avoiding going to villages along the way made Fang Yue feel a bit relieved, as he was quite afraid of the mountain captain who ate women in one of the villages, and didn't want to see her again.

Fang Yue's granting of authority and trust moved the blood hunter deeply.

He was a hunter, a crippled hunter, a hunter who could no longer hunt.

If someone else were leading the team, they might not even bring along such a disabled hunter, let alone choose to listen to the suggestions of such a useless hunter.

But Fang Yue not only gave the blood hunter respect, but also truly gave him trust.

So the blood hunter clenched his fist. He wanted to repay Fang Yue's trust and make this trip back to the village a successful and safe one.

To avoid any accidents, even if he was said to be paranoid or overly cautious, he would persevere, keeping the team in the safest possible state, and safely returning to the village without anyone getting hurt.

If nothing went wrong, these might be the last few times he would be able to walk around outside in this lifetime.

Having become a cripple, the next time he wanted to go out, it would be difficult to go out as a hunter, but as an employer, hiring someone to escort him.

So he especially cherished this last opportunity, this last opportunity to be in the team as a hunter.

"Ye-ge, then I'll go and inform the others about the change in the itinerary."

"Yeah, go ahead."

Fang Yue then asked about the situation of the other people. When they saw Fang Yue, they greeted him one after another, calling him Captain Ye over and over again.

After finally asking about the situation of the team, Fang Yue saw the system notification that [Night's Breath] had taken effect, and then logged out of the game.

…

Opening his eyes, Fang Yue saw Bai Xiaoya next to him, using a large stone she had found somewhere to sharpen her bone spear.

"You're awake?"

"Yeah, what about Qiu Dugu?"

"He's doing identity identification for those corpses, so that the relatives of the corpses can come and claim them. As for those that can't be identified, he's preparing to dig a pit and bury them."

Fang Yue raised his eyebrows, feeling that Qiu Dugu's actions were a bit affected.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

Because he was now in reality, and doing this in reality was perfectly acceptable.

After realizing this, Fang Yue was immediately shocked.

He knew that he was too deeply involved in the game, and some of his concepts seemed to have been subtly changed by the game.

Like in reality, someone dying was a big deal.

Like Bai Xiaoya, before experiencing the incident in the back mountain of Jiangyun Temple, killing someone would definitely be a huge mental blow. Even when a thief broke into her house before, she didn't think about killing him, but rather about restricting him.

But if Bai Xiaoya were to encounter that situation now, she would probably bash the thief's head open with a kitchen knife.

Fang Yue was also the same.

In the game, he was out in the wind and rain, licking blood from the edge of a knife every day, and could be killed by something bizarre if he wasn't careful.

So he gradually became more open to the life and death of others, and didn't care so much about killing or dying.

And that was the problem… This was reality!

If this concept of life and death became weak, Fang Yue didn't know what he would become, or whether it was good or bad…

The only thing he was clear about was that the game was quietly changing him.

Tap tap tap.

At this time, Qiu Dugu came back.

He didn't need tools for digging pits or anything, because this guy's hair was a bizarre object. He had used drugs to cause necrosis of his hair follicles, and then allowed the bizarre object [Changing Hair] to parasitize his body, in order to obtain this ability.

By changing the shape of his hair, he could turn it into many things, but in terms of characteristics, it still retained the characteristics of hair, so the strength was relatively poor.

Of course, this was only in Fang Yue's eyes. If he were dealing with ordinary people, then it would be really explosively strong.

Following Qiu Dugu was A Ming.

After feeling the change in Bai Xiaoya, A Ming was obviously very remorseful, and didn't know what to do. When Qiu Dugu suggested burying the corpses, he subconsciously followed along.

"You're awake? It's already evening, can't we start acting yet?"

Qiu Dugu asked directly when he saw Fang Yue.

Fang Yue didn't waste any time and got up and said, "No! It's time, we can start acting and kill that thing in the sky."
