Wang Mingfu stood in his place, his face etched with loss.
Today, he had been ruthless, issuing many orders that sent people to their deaths, deciding when to use strawmen at his own whim.
Listening to the screams and wails of those being pecked by the Man-Eating Crows, Wang Mingfu felt his heart palpitate with fear and trepidation, but he told himself it was to save others.
Yes, some people died, but many more survived.
He had saved a lot of people; he was their hero!
Wang Mingfu consoled himself in this way to alleviate the guilt that came with killing; he was looking forward to the moment when he would lead everyone out of this flesh forest and receive their heartfelt thanks.
But now, there was none!
God Lin had arrived, using the thick smoke from burning branches to drive away those monsters, rendering all of his previous responses and strategies utterly foolish.
Wang Mingfu raised his hand and harshly slapped himself four times.
It wasn’t self-reproach but rather resentment!
Wang Mingfu took a deep breath and approached Lin Baici.
“God Lin, what’s the deal with these branches?”
Wang Mingfu eyed the nearly burnt-out branch in Lin Baici’s hand: “I’ve also chopped branches and tried using smoke to drive these bird monsters away, but it was useless!”
“Which trees did you chop branches from?”
Lin Baici actually had a guess: “They were from around here, right?”
Wang Mingfu nodded and then paused: “Could it be that branches from other areas are needed?”
Lin Baici looked at all the ragged people: “Hold on a little longer, and take a rest later.
Let’s take advantage of the birds being gone and hurry to gather more branches, just in case!”
Lin Baici turned and left, with everyone quickly following.
“From which trees should we chop?”
Wang Mingfu hadn’t given up and continued to inquire.
“You’ll see if you follow!”
There was no need to conceal such things.
“God Lin!” Zhao Tong limped over: “Thank you, thank you so much!”
Zhao Tong’s tears streamed down uncontrollably, tracing the scratches left by the Man-Eating Crows on her face, causing her to grimace in pain.
Lin Baici consoled her.
Back in the forest, Lin Baici checked on Zhou Ya’s condition and called over Xia Hongyao and the others to chop branches about a hundred meters away.
Wang Mingfu stood under the tree, completely bewildered.
“Is there a difference between these trees?”
Zeng Chuan looked up, scanning left and right, unable to discern any differences, as the leaves all seemed similar.
“You probably can’t tell with the naked eye, but through the scent, or something else, there should be a difference!”
“How did you find them?”
Fang Wen asked curiously.
“When I was checking this area earlier, I noticed a few trees that the bird monsters would avoid when flying over them.
There were also two trees with game hanging on them that the birds didn’t touch at all.”
Lin Baici’s statement stunned everyone.
Wang Mingfu was somewhat incredulous.
Wang Mingfu fell silent.
Indeed, it seemed simple, but who had the courage to run through the forest when those terrifying birds were attacking, and all alone at that?
Even if someone dared, there wasn’t any time, as they also had to guard the game until the birds left, and then hurriedly rest, choosing the unlucky souls to be strawmen.
In reality, Wang Mingfu hadn’t done anything wrong; using strawmen was also a method to overcome this pollution of rules—it’s just that some people had to die.
The group carried a large amount of branches back with them.
A quarter of an hour later, the Man-Eating Crows attacked once again, but this time everyone was prepared, and they handled it with ease.
This time, Wang Mingfu’s group endured nine harassments from the Man-Eating Crows without losing anyone, passing the ordeal with ease.
Those who were next in line to be strawmen were all feeling fortunate.
Thank God Lin had come.
In the aftermath of fear, Zhao Tong also felt regret for the one who had died before; if only she had held out a little longer, she would have waited for God Lin and wouldn’t have had to die.
After another twenty minutes, Lin Baici’s group did not encounter the Man-Eating Crows again, but instead saw the pale-faced, delicate-looking dead eunuch, leading a group of armored soldiers their way. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the NoveI~Fire.net
