Long Fei glanced at Wu Run and said, “How many of the people we sent to the eastern region had been eaten by demons here?”
Wu Run blanked out for a moment. There was a trace of uneasiness on his face. He scratched his head and said, “There seems to be quite a few.”
When the eastern region was ownerless, the three forces often went to the eastern region to mine. However, the situation at that time was truly horrendous. In the beginning, they had no understanding of the circumstances in the eastern region, and to pay for their ignorance, Blizzard City had to part with the lives of many mercenaries.
“Something must have happened to the demons here. Otherwise, they would not be this calm.” Long Fei did not think it was so simple. Demons were savage by nature. Their thirst for human flesh was second nature to them.
There was no reason for them to suddenly abandon their source of food for no reason.
Long Fei narrowed his eyes.
Ever since Shen Yanxiao entered Sun Never Sets, he had consciously evacuated all Blizzard City personnels from this area, so he had no clue what had been going on in his absence.
“Could it be related to Shen Yanxiao?” Wu Run asked.
“It must be.” Long Fei nodded heavily.
The two of them chatted endlessly while Long Xueyao listened on with relish.
On the other side, Shen Yanxiao had her eyes closed but her ears did not miss a single detail of their conversation.
Tremble, foolish human!
This was the result of her good training. In her territory, there were absolutely no demons that would dare to eat humans!
Shen Yanxiao was happy, but at the same time, felt very unfortunate.
If it were not for the demons in her territory being so obedient, why would she be forced to the north just so that she could find demons to train with?
No, saying anymore than this would lead her to tears!
The comfortable journey made the Blizzard Mercenary Group almost forget that they were still in the Forsaken Land. The journey was even smoother than if they were to stroll around their city; it had completely distorted their worldview.
From the moment they saw demons, they would be on guard. Nowadays, they would occasionally wave to demons.
In just a few days, the worldview of the Blizzard Mercenary Group had been completely shattered.
If it were not for the fact that they still had a destination in mind, they would probably have attempted to get closer to those overly friendly demons.
Demons that did not eat humans? They were just too rare!
They wanted to chat with them about life!
The closer Shen Yanxiao got to Sun Never Sets, the more complicated her emotions were.
Ever since she left Sun Never Sets, she would often sense the fluctuations in Vermilion Bird’s heart. However, Vermilion Bird was smart enough not to rely on the spiritual link between them to locate her.
Even though Vermilion Bird wished he was at her side, he had respected her choice.
Even though…
Those spiritual fluctuations were most probably him despising her decision to leave him behind.
However, as they got closer to Sun Never Sets, the connection between Shen Yanxiao and Vermilion Bird got clearer. She could sense it, and Vermilion Bird could certainly sense it as well.
The connection between a master and a contracted beast was hard to sever.
Even though she was full of energy when she had left, now…
Seeing that she was about to return to the city, Shen Yanxiao felt somewhat guilty.
She could almost imagine the face of those people who were forced to do her job after she had left.
When she thought of the ire she would receive once she entered Sun Never Sets, Shen Yanxiao’s feelings were extremely complicated. As a result, she lost interest in listening to Long Fei and the rest.
