Ye Zi doesn't know how he survived these days,

It took her nearly half a month to return to the camp in the Desperate Mountains from the Wilderness Realm. In order to avoid the evil beasts, she carefully hid in the thick trunk of a tree, and only after making sure that there were no evil beasts in the vicinity did she move on to the next place where she could hide. Despite her impatience, she had no other choice, and once she was discovered by a hybrid beast, she could not escape the hunt on her own.

More than a dozen sisters fell under the devil's slaughter, and the other sisters' abilities were not good at fighting at all, they scattered and fled when the iron-handed devil jumped into the crowd and slaughtered, but in the end, a few of them returned to the camp alive, and Ye Zi's heart was not at all. She didn't even dare to think about this terrible question.

The way of action of walking all the way and hiding all the way consumes a lot of mana, and you can only walk more than ten miles a day, especially when you have to prepare the magic needed to spend the night at night. After eating the dry food on her body, she turned some wild fruits into food that could quench her hunger and thirst. The Mutual Aid emblem had long since lost its warmth, and she had to wrap herself a little tighter in the bark. Thinking of Snow, who died here before she was a minor, Ye's tears couldn't stop sliding down.

To make matters worse, by the fourth night, she had been greeted by a demonic devourer in the trunk of the tree—a series of blows that she had almost forgotten. A sharp and tearing pain suddenly bloomed from her chest and quickly spread throughout her body, almost causing her to lose consciousness in an instant, biting her tongue and covering her mouth with blood to gather her strength to fight the pain. Under the torture of the demon devourer, Ye Zi also thought about giving up, but thinking of the more than twenty sisters who might survive, or waiting for her to return in the camp, or being seriously injured and in need of her treatment and help, she gritted her teeth and persevered.

Fortunately, this demon devouring body did not last long, and by the time she broke free from the suffering, her body was covered with cracks, and the blood that flowed out of her body was wet in the trunk. In order to avoid the smell of blood attracting evil beasts, she had to endure the pain, take off her clothes, and go to another big tree. At the same time, let the bare branches grow green leaves, and then make the green leaves into clothes that can protect against the cold. Guided by magic, the branches became her needles, and the veins were her threads.

She didn't eat a bite of cooked food or drink a sip of hot water along the way. After entering the Desperate Mountains, although she had added two more layers to her leafy clothes, and her hands and feet were tightly wrapped, the rapidly decreasing temperature and the snow that reached her ankles still frostbitten her toes. With this stopping, dragging her unconscious feet, she finally returned to camp.

Seeing the familiar figure of the sisters, the leaves fell to the ground.

Two days after she woke up, the sisters had to amputate two damaged toes on her left foot and two damaged toes on her right foot as a last resort, after prolonged hypothermia and the herbs could not stop the expanding gangrene.

Ye Zi didn't care too much, it was already good to survive, compared to those sisters who would never come back, she was lucky enough. However, when he saw the white cloth bands wrapped around the arms of the still alive people, great grief could not be suppressed.

Of the forty-two sisters at the time of departure, only six remain.

After everyone calmed Ye Zi, the eldest scroll told her about the experience of the group.

While fighting the devil herself, the witch with non-combat abilities took the opportunity to flee in the direction of the camp. That night, they came across an evil beast, a herd of wild boars. The people were powerless to resist and had to flee in all directions. The group that was hunted by the evil beasts was obviously more than lucky, but they didn't care about that much. By the next morning, everyone was targeted by a wolf-shaped hybrid again, and only eight people escaped this time. Fortunately, after entering the Desperate Mountain Range, the evil beast did not follow up.

A few days after returning to the camp, the two sisters showed symptoms of magical backlash. Perhaps because the Mutual Aid Society had been hit too hard this time, the outlook was gloomy, and neither of them had been able to survive the Demon Devourer. And the battle witches did not return for a long time, and just when everyone thought they had died at the hands of the devil, they did not expect the leaves to return.

"So...... What about the others? Red Pepper, Chasing the Wind, and Master Mentor, how are they?"

Ye Zi shook his head, "I'm the only one who survived." ”

"Yes......" Shujuan replied softly, and it was clear that she had expected this answer, "then you can rest well." And ......," she hesitated, "leaves." ”

"What?"

"While you were unconscious, we discussed that if Hakhala didn't come back, we wanted you to take over the role of mentor. ”

Ye Zi was stunned, then closed his eyes. Yes, after suffering such a painful blow, the Mutual Aid Society does not elect a new leader, but it is afraid that it will fall apart immediately. But the purpose of the Aid Society is to find the Holy Mountain, to be free and to rest. Now the search for the Holy Mountain has come to naught, no, the "Holy Mountain" itself is a scam, it does not exist in the Desperate Mountains, nor does it exist in the Wild Lands. In this case, is it still necessary for mutual aid societies to exist?

Her heart was so confused that even if she didn't look at them, she could feel the expectant gaze of her sisters, and they needed someone to stand up and lead the confused crowd on.

"We ...... Go find the nightingale," the leaves said after a long silence.

"What, looking for her?"

"Did you mean to go to the Frontier Town?"

"What if she's lying to us?"

"Wendy is there too. ”

"Maybe she's dead. ”

The sisters were babbling. Shujuan clapped his hands to silence everyone, and asked Ye Zidao, "What if what the nightingale said is also a scam?"

"You can wait in a safe place outside town," she opened her eyes, "let me find out first, and if she's lying, I'll take over the role of mentor, if...... I'm dying in the town, Shujuan, and you can lead the sisters on. ”

"But I ......"

Ye Zi smiled reluctantly, "I know that your abilities are not suitable for combat, and they will not be of much help to the daily operations of the camp. But I now understand that there is no connection between ability and suitability to be a mentor. "The guru is the guide, not the most capable, but unfortunately he realized it too late. If the Aid Aid mentor had been the patient and attentive Wendy, would the outcome have been completely different?" "You, like Wendy, were the first to join the Aid Society, and you are the eldest of your sisters. From the east of the kingdom, he accompanied everyone to the Desperate Mountains, and he had a wealth of experience and acted cautiously, and everyone saw it. There is no one better suited to be a mentor to your sisters. ”

The scroll was silent for a moment, "...... What if what the nightingale said was true?"

"Then there is no need for the Mutual Aid Society to exist anymore," Ye Zi said slowly, "The border town is our 'new holy mountain'. ”
