Chapter 45: Chapter 44 Wolvesville_2

Xi Yun came out and greeted the two elderly people before she approached Xiao Yi and his three companions.

"The whole village comes here to eat," Xi Yun said. "There are a total of seven people in the village. You haven’t met the last person yet. I was planning to ask that person to drive you down the mountain. Ah, perfect timing, here he comes, Iron Brother!"

Everyone looked towards the door once more, and then, they saw a mountain of a man walk in.

He was nearly two meters tall, with a body full of muscles. Although his face looked simple and naive, he was undoubtedly not someone to be trifled with.

"I caught a really fat wild boar today, Yun Sha sis, we’ll have meat for a while now!" he said happily, placing the wild boar he carried on his back down.

"Thank you," Yun Sha said with a smile. "You’ve worked hard."

The burly man shook his head: "Not at all, as long as Yun Sha sis is happy, haha!"

It was clear to everyone that this burly man had feelings for Yun Sha.

However, the problem was, Yun Sha was a married woman! And her husband was right there watching!

However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, Yun Sha’s husband, the chef, walked past them without even glancing their way and dragged the wild boar into the kitchen to prepare it.

He seemed not to care at all what his wife was doing with another man.

The relationships between these people were truly baffling.

"Iron Brother," Xi Yun then approached the burly man and asked, "Could you do me a favor? Could you drive these few survivors to the nearby town?"

"Them? Sure," Iron Brother, being kind-hearted, immediately agreed without even asking about the specifics.

Later, Ah Yi also returned. Xi Yun, along with her mother Yun Sha and father the chef, the unrelated old village chief, the mother-in-law with her grandson Ah Yi, and Iron Brother, who had gone out to work in earlier years and had now returned to the village, amounted to the village’s only seven inhabitants.

The seven villagers and Xiao Yi’s four-person group ate a meal together in the dining hall.

During the meal, while chatting with the villagers, Xiao Yi and his companions learned that the village didn’t even have a name. Apart from going to the town to get some supplies every once in a while, it was an isolated village.

Moreover, the village originally had a few hundred people, but due to some incidents, now only seven remained.

As for the reasons, they didn’t seem willing to explain clearly to outsiders like Xiao Yi and his friends, merely saying it was none of their business and that it would be better to leave early.

After the meal, Iron Brother said they should leave early to go down the mountain before it became dark and the roads difficult to navigate.

"This..." Dick, who thought they could make progress in any instance, was getting anxious.

"But we..."

"Get moving, this is both advice and a warning."

Dick wanted to delay further, but Iron Brother was already pushing them toward the village square without further discussion.

However, just when everyone thought that the instance was unexpectedly difficult to even start, and believed they were about to be driven away, something abnormal suddenly happened.

"...Hmm?" Xiao Yi sensed something. "Is it...raining?"

Everyone then heard the sound of dripping; indeed, it had started raining.

But why would it suddenly rain under a clear sky?

Sheraya held out his palm to catch a raindrop and looked at the water, but his expression turned grave.

"This rain...why is it red?"

Iron Brother had also noticed this sudden rain, and his expression turned to one of horror!

Immediately after, Iron Brother, who had been pushing everyone to leave, turned around and started pulling them towards the dining hall.

"Quick! Quick, get back inside!" he yelled!

Then, as if in response to Iron Brother’s words, something fell from the sky to the land near them!

Xiao Yi and his three friends were all startled and immediately went to see what had fallen.

It was... a beast, one covered in bite marks, with its organs exposed, its body shriveled as if drained of blood.

This sudden red rain of blood was perhaps its own.

Not just one, the bodies of beasts continuously fell from the sky, and being hit by one could result in death or severe injury.

Without time to say much, everyone ran back to the cafeteria at top speed.

"I’ve heard of frog rain, but this beast rain is a first for me," Yuzuki Hibiki couldn’t help but remark.

Dick murmured to himself softly, "It’s finally starting."

Every Chosen One and the people in the live stream knew as they watched this abnormal scene that the instance was about to begin.

Apart from Xiao Yi, who looked on curiously at this scene, "Oh! Is this the so-called gift from nature? Iron Brother, that’s great, now you won’t have to worry about lacking meat."

"Ah haha..."

Iron Brother could only give a wry laugh, and the others had expressions that said they didn’t know what to say.

Xi Yun’s expression was solemn, "Why? Why has it started so soon? Why did it start just as they were about to leave?"

"That means... the Wolf God has set its sights on them," the grandmother spoke then. Her face, usually serene, was now utterly serious.

"Wolf God? What does that mean?" Dick immediately asked.

"My young ones." The grandmother looked at Xiao Yi and the others, "Since you’ve been targeted by the Wolf God, it means that you must now, like us, participate in a ritual called ’Feast!’"

"Feast..."

The name of the instance finally became clear, and Dick, with a serious expression, asked, "What does this ’Feast’ mean?"

"It started when this village was founded during times of war and chaos. To escape the conflicts, our ancestors came to this secluded place. However, the tyrannical Wolf God considered the mountains its territory, and it attacked our ancestors because they had invaded its lands."

"The Guardian Spirits of humans could not endure the Wolf God’s tyranny, so they collaborated with humans to trick the Wolf God. They set a banquet under the guise of hospitality, and when the Wolf God was least alert, they severely wounded it! The Wolf God could no longer harm people."

"However, the Wolf God did not die, and the event only made it harbor greater resentment towards humans. Thus, every once in a while, when the Wolf God regained some strength, it would use all that power to seek revenge on humans! And then, with the powers bestowed by our Guardian Spirits, we counteract the Wolf God until this day. This confrontation has lasted nearly a century and has become a ritual. To commemorate that initial banquet, we call this ritual——the Feast!"

With this explanation, everyone understood that the so-called Feast was not a banquet to entertain people, but to entertain the Wolf God.

Sheraya asked, "So, what should we do for this ritual?"

The grandmother nodded approvingly and said, "You all did not question or panic, that’s good. The Feast ritual requires reason and wisdom. With you here, I’m confident that we will be victorious."

"The Wolf God is very cunning; it doesn’t attack directly but uses its power to corrupt the minds of some among us, manipulating those people to secretly kill others."

"What we need to do is to utilize the powers given to us by the Guardian Spirits, named as Prophet, Guard, and Tomb Guardian, to discern who among us are the Wolf God Envoys, and use a voting method to execute them. When all the Wolf God Envoys are executed, it is our victory as humans, this is... the Feast ritual."

Listening to the grandmother’s explanation, Dick, Yuzuki Hibiki, Sheraya, and most people in the live stream were taken aback.

Because the form of this so-called Feast ritual was very familiar to them.

"This... isn’t this just Wolvesville!?"
