Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 964: An Unfortunate Beginning

Pitiful as it is that the bandits are so destitute that they barely have walls to their homes, now they also have to endure disturbances from venomous snakes and ferocious beasts; it’s truly a tale of hardship beyond words.

"It really is like being haunted! Why such rotten luck!"

"It seems it all started with the heavenly phenomena descending upon us!"

As it turns out, they’ve been unable to find any secret passages for some time, and at some point, a rather extreme view emerged within the Black Wind Eighteen Fortresses.

Everyone started saying that the Dune wasn’t a divine miracle but was instead a Heavenly Punishment, appearing primarily to suppress them.

Their possessions vanished into thin air, not by human hands, but as if the heavens themselves had confiscated them.

Now with venomous snakes and ferocious beasts ceaselessly rushing in to harass them, it’s as if the heavens are signaling them to withdraw from this land.

This rumor reached the ears of the Bandit Leader.

He slammed the table in great anger: "Nonsense! Pure nonsense!"

"Which damn fool spouted this? Let me find out, and I will smack his mouth to shreds!"

There was silence in the hall.

Right at this moment, as the quiet Stockade was filled with the sound of birds flapping their wings, a small soldier rushed into the great hall with a pigeon in his arms.

"Eldest Master, there’s a message from Gu County."

"Let me see it!"

The leader of the stockade reached out and grabbed the pigeon.

The message on it read: Arrive in Gu County within three days.

Upon reading this, the leader of the stockade clenched his fists tightly.

Curious and holding their breath in anticipation, the elder who had been gloomy for many days showed a fighting spirit in his eyes once again after reading the message: "If this place is not for me, there will be a place for me elsewhere. Better off not staying in this godforsaken land! Now we have more important things to do. Upon my command, everyone pack up, we are heading out for Gu County!"

"???"

"!!!"

The Ownerless Land has two entrances in total.

Strictly speaking there was only the one at Three-Branch Junction before, but then the bandits from the Western Region forced open a second entrance from that direction.

For many years, their survival here, with ample food and living supplies, depended on this entrance.

When he first agreed to Yuwen Song to retreat to the Ownerless Land, Yuwen Song also had to tacitly permit him to scavenge from the counties adjacent to the Ownerless Land in return.

The two made an alliance and coexisted peacefully until now.

It just never occurred to him that a day would come when Yuwen Song would need his help.

Thinking of the vexing issues in the Ownerless Land, the stockade leader straightforwardly agreed.

Perhaps, the heavenly phenomena were a sign; whether it was the disappearance of the food or the expulsion due to the venomous snakes and ferocious beasts, all was to ensure they could leave for Yuwen Song’s task without any reluctance.

Even better, perhaps the brothers could find brighter prospects ahead!

The Bandit Leader became more and more delighted, his mood significantly lifted.

As for the short-lived dream of dominance they once harbored, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it again.

And so, in the span of a single night, the bandits who had been neighbors to the Fire-Swallowing Tribe for several years had completely pulled out.

Bai Junjun had no idea; still worried that the bandits might retaliate for their lost possessions, she stayed up to fortify the Misdirection Tracing Array, only to find that the bandits made no moves at all.

The two of them uneasily went to check out the bandits’ main camp, only to find it abandoned.

They couldn’t help but be stunned; these bandits were too agreeable.

Having been robbed, they simply accepted their fate and left without a fuss, making them feel somewhat embarrassed about it all.

...

At this time, the bandits, dubbed gentlemen by the two, arrived in Gu County, where they only then learned that the world outside had already changed.

Three days prior, Yuwen Song had burst forth from Gu County on the pretense that "Prince Hanying is fond of war and must be stopped with war."

An army of one hundred and fifty thousand marched triumphantly, unstoppable in their advance.
