No matter what, this pirate ship cannot be disembarked. Even if there were no calculations by the Maintainer, Jiraiya would not allow a monster with the power to destroy a country to awaken.

Jiraiya asked the traveler stealthily again, "My good disciples, you should have been to Liyue first, right? Didn't the boy named Zhongli come?"

The traveler lowered his voice and said, "I'm afraid Zhongli can't come... After all, according to the theory of the "Sustainer of Heavenly Justice", the Abyss Cult needs to perform large-scale sacrifices.

Although the best option is Fontaine, if Liyue's Rock King is not in the country at this moment, Liyue is likely to become a target."

In this case, perhaps all the gods cannot escape... Those who should be saved should be saved, and those who should be protected should be protected.

Ningguang was still talking incessantly on the main seat about the defenses outside the circle of the Fulong Tree, and she must not let the Rock Dragon Lizards get into the place where the crowds gathered.

However, these rock dragon lizards followed the will of the Dragon King Ruota, killing people, devouring human souls, and then escaping into the earth veins for the Dragon King Ruota to revive.

Jiraiya didn't listen to these things. Anyway, Ningguang and the others were much more professional than him in the deployment of military equipment.

All I have to do is keep a close eye on the movements in the Fulong Tree.

These demons died and came back to life. Why can't Noelle do the same? What would happen if these ley lines were brought to Noelle?

Jiraiya was lost in thought when suddenly there was a commotion outside the tent.

"There's an extremely important meeting going on inside! How can you be so ungrateful, old lady? Leave now or don't blame us for being rude!"

The guards outside the tent shouted angrily, but the old lady seemed to ignore them and continued stubbornly, "Hey, why are you stopping me? I want to buy delicious fried dumplings for our baby Shuyu, and also buy some milk.

Otherwise, our Shuyu baby won’t grow tall. I see there are some on the table over there, why don’t you sell them to me? I have Mora’s.”

Buying things? Jiraiya looked around. This atmosphere didn't look like a place to sell things, did it?

It must be "soul loss syndrome". The ancients often said that people have seven souls and six spirits, and these souls will die one by one as they age.

When the elderly die to a certain degree, they often lose their memory and become as dumb as children. I don't know what the world calls this disease. Anyway, there has never been a solution.

But Jiraiya was a little curious. Although the old lady outside the door had a head full of white hair, there were almost no wrinkles on her face. It could be said that she was well maintained.

It's not like the soul has aged to the point of death at all.

Behind the old lady, there was a little girl who looked to be about ten years old, pulling her with great effort.

"Oh! Grandma! I've already told you! Shuyu has grown up! She doesn't need to drink milk anymore!"

But the girl was obviously too young, and her face turned red, so she couldn't pull the old lady away. In the end, she had to give up and bowed to everyone to apologize.

"I'm so sorry! Grandma is old and can't remember anything. I'm sorry to trouble you all!"

Just as Shuyu bowed, a plate of fried dumplings was brought to her.

"Are you hungry?" The first one to move was the immortal who was supposed to be the most unkind, Master Liuyunjiefeng!

Looking at the plate of dumplings, the old lady who should have been the most anxious was stunned. She stared at Master Liuyun Jiefeng's face in a trance for a long time...

Until True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng asked, "Why? Do you know me?"

The old lady came to her senses and shook her head repeatedly, "No...I don't know her."

"Oh! Grandma, please stop staring at them. Let's go!" Shuyu said anxiously.

But he was stopped by Master Liuyun Jiefeng, "Ningguang, meeting is fate. The meeting is almost over, why don't we have two more pairs of bowls and chopsticks to invite these two to sit down?"

Jiraiya couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at this conversation. He never expected that this unworldly and arrogant immortal would be so emotionally intelligent.

As an immortal, it would be easy for her to let the two in. However, Liuyun Jiefeng did not act on her own and chose to ask Ningguang for her opinion.

This gives Ningguang enough prestige as a mortal leader. At the same time, he does not respect Ningguang as an adult, which preserves the face of the immortal.

With such remarks, Ningguang naturally had no reason not to take this step, "Of course, it's just a small matter. Please take a seat."

Hearing this, Shuyu was really terrified. Although she was still young, it was said that children from poor families had to grow up early.

Shuyu, who lost her parents at a young age and depended on her grandmother for support, had a hard life. Now her grandmother was suffering from dementia, so Shuyu was much more mature and sensible than other children.

It was this maturity and understanding that made her realize how important these people were in this world! They were truly the people at the top of the world who were stirring up trouble!

She even stumbled a little when introducing herself, "I'm Shu...Shuyu, and this...this is my grandma Yuandai."

Fortunately, among all the big guys, there is the cute and adorable little Paimeng who can slightly ease Shuyu's nervous atmosphere.

"Hello Shuyu, my name is Paimeng. By the way, this is the front line of the battlefield. Why are you here with grandma?"

"Our home is nearby. My grandmother and I make a living by collecting herbs in the valley all year round. Rock dragon lizards occasionally appear here, but they are generally not very aggressive. As long as we avoid them, nothing will happen.

But within a few days, for some unknown reason, these rock dragon lizards suddenly went crazy and attacked humans one after another.

And their numbers suddenly increased many times, and they even attacked the village in groups. According to the old people in the village, this kind of thing has never happened in all these years!

If it weren't for Sister Ye Lan and the Qianyan Army coming to rescue us, we wouldn't have been kept here. Otherwise, Paimeng, you might not have seen me and grandma."

"Wow! Is it so scary? Rock dragon lizards would actually attack human villages in groups?" Paimon was shocked.

Jiraiya on the side suddenly asked, "Are you the only two who survived in your village?"

"Hey! You lecherous immortal, why are you picking on other people's sad things?" Paimon complained in Jiraiya's ear in a low voice.

However, Jiraiya ignored it and just waited for Shuyu to reply. After all, arranging refugees in the main camp was an incredible thing.

Not to mention, Ningguang had previously said that Ruotu needed to kill and devour souls, and there was no reason to leave ordinary people on the battlefield.

And Jiraiya had specially observed when he came here that the entire army was extremely rigorous from top to bottom, and there was no feeling of a large number of refugees.

"No, most of them have been brought back. But the vehicles that transported the refugees back to the city are full, so my grandma and I can only wait for the next batch."

The seats were full? Only two people were left? How full was it that there was no room for even two people? If they said there were 200 people left, I would believe it. I would also believe 20 people left.

There were only two of them. It was hard for Jiraiya to believe this! There must be something fishy going on.

Jiraiya looked at Ningguang who had seen all of this. As expected, Ningguang was about to speak.
