After settling the refugee family down for a while, Yun Kai gave them some food from the warehouse. Their faces lit up at the sight of real grain, and not the moldy scraps or wild roots they'd been eating. The children ate eagerly while their parents watched with grateful tears in their eyes.Then Yun Kai and Léi Shén returned to the entrance of the village to wait for more refugees.However, due to Yun Kai's series of actions, the God-Tier village building token's ten-point loyalty bonus, and the simple act of feeding them, the family's loyalty had already exceeded sixty percent.According to the system knowledge, loyalty worked in tiers. Surpassing sixty percent meant they had a certain sense of belonging to the territory. Exceeding seventy percent meant they regarded the territory as their own home.Generally speaking, more than eighty percent meant they would advance and retreat with the territory through any hardship. And if it exceeded ninety percent, they would be completely lo

While Yun Kai was exploring the attributes of his new skills in the morning, a roar echoed from the nearby forest. A deep and unmistakably dangerous roar from a demonic beast.Soon came the screams of villagers.Yun Kai's head snapped toward the sound, his sensory bubble expanding as far as it could reach. The commotion was coming from the area close to Spiritbone Mountain forest. That region had many demonic beasts, though mostly Mortal Rank. But they hadn't appeared near the village in the last two days.Yun Kai bolted from his room, taking the stairs two at a time. His bare feet hit the ground floor and he burst through the village hall doors into the morning light.The scene that greeted him was chaos.Villagers scattered in every direction, shouting warnings to each other. Women grabbed children and ran. Men without weapons backed away slowly, eyes wide with fear.And in the center of it all stood the beast.An Ironfang Tiger.It was massive, easily two meters long from nose to t

[Ding! The player's village has been upgraded to medium level, which has aroused the vigilance of nearby bandits. Three days later, the system bandit group "Black Wind Stronghold" will attack the player's territory. We hope the player will be prepared in advance.]The system notification rang out just as Yun Kai was reviewing the village upgrades. But it didn't bring good news.Yun Kai had never heard of Black Wind Stronghold before. But according to the system information flooding his mind, the difference between Black Wind Stronghold and other bandit groups was that it was a medium-sized mountain fortress. Well-organized, well-armed, and experienced in raiding.In a strange way, Yun Kai felt like the system might actually be helping him. What he really lacked at the moment was weapons and equipment. Now bandits would be coming to him, bringing their own gear to be looted.Although that's what he thought, Yun Kai didn't underestimate the threat.According to the system details, there

Originally, Jiang Hao had been quite proud seeing Yun Kai only defend without attacking. In his mind, someone in that passive state basically had to wait for death.However, Yun Kai's momentum suddenly surged. His feet began changing positions on the ground, seeming to draw a circle like Tai Chi principles. The movement was very mysterious.Before Jiang Hao could react properly, a wooden sword glowing with faint energy rushed toward him, carrying a minuscule force that felt like it could sunder heaven and earth while sweeping away clouds."Ah!"Jiang Hao yelled out instinctively. The strength in his hands increased sharply without conscious thought. He directly knocked the sword tip aside, which relieved the immediate crisis."It's a draw," Yun Kai called out, pulling back his sword and pointing it at the ground. He opened his mouth and laughed.However, his right hand was still shaking slightly. Just during that final exchange, Jiang Hao had unknowingly exerted his full cultivation s

"Why are you children crying?" Yun Kai asked gently, kneeling down to their level despite not being able to see them clearly.But as soon as he moved forward, the children who had been sitting scattered ran away. There was still a trace of fear in their movements.Yun Kai frowned. He shouldn't be that frightening. How could he scare these children into reacting this way?He had some doubts, but when he glanced back at Léi Shén, he realized the truth. He hadn't scared the children. It was Léi Shén behind him.Before coming to this world, Léi Shén had been a general who'd experienced countless battles. Although Yun Kai didn't know what exact identity the system had given him, his killing aura still existed. The bloodlust of someone who'd taken thousands of lives couldn't be hidden.It was normal for these children to be scared by that atmosphere. Although the children had fled, they didn't run far away. Instead, they secretly watched the two strangers from nearby hiding spots.Actually,
