Chapter 161 - Chapter 161: The Reason Ruijerd Was Not Feared by the Migurd Race

"After this, if there is any news of other Superd race members, I will return to the Demon Continent to inform you." Dan Feng said solemnly to Ruijerd, making a promise.

After learning that the Superd race's brutality was not their true nature, and that the people Ruijerd had killed—aside from those under the Demon God Laplace—could be considered as ridding the people of harm.

However, the tragedy of Ruijerd accidentally killing his own family due to losing his reason was truly heartbreaking.

Ruijerd looked at Dan Feng gratefully and said, "Mm, thank you for your kindness. I will continue searching for my clansmen on the Demon Continent. Until I find a way to leave the Demon Continent, I will stay here." His voice carried a sense of resolve.

Dan Feng suddenly thought of a question and asked curiously, "By the way, there's something I've never understood. Since the demon races fear the Superd race so much, why would this Migurd race village accept you?"

This question instantly stumped Ruijerd.

He fell silent, seemingly thinking about how to answer.

After a while, he slowly said, "Perhaps... it's because I once quietly saved a few Migurd race children."

At that time, Ruijerd was passing by and originally planned to take a look at this village, but from afar he saw several blue-haired children—undoubtedly Migurd race children.

At that moment, they were being closely watched by several Pax Wolves. It seemed these ferocious monsters had already marked them as prey.

Even worse, their location was very far from the village. Even if they used telepathy, they could not transmit a call for help to the adults in the village.

However, Ruijerd was someone who particularly liked children.

Seeing these children in danger, a strong protective instinct surged in his heart.

Without any hesitation, he rushed over like lightning, so fast that his figure was almost impossible to see clearly.

In the blink of an eye, Ruijerd appeared before the group of Migurd race children like a phantom.

He gripped his massive trident tightly, which emitted a chilling glint, as if giving approval for his own son.

Facing this pack of seemingly vicious Pax Wolves, Ruijerd showed no fear. He swung his trident, each strike carrying unmatched momentum.

In just a few exchanges, Ruijerd displayed astonishing combat skill and power—his technique could reasonably be said to be between King-class and Emperor-class.

Those Pax Wolves had no power to fight back under his attacks and fell dead one after another.

The children, who had been terrified, saw someone blocking the terrifying Pax Wolves and immediately snapped out of it.

Then, as if granted amnesty, they got up and ran frantically toward the Migurd race village.

After running some distance, their telepathy could finally connect with the adults in the village.

The children eagerly reported what had just happened, telling them that one person had single-handedly blocked the pack of Pax Wolves about to pounce on them, and it was thanks to this person that they had escaped safely.

Upon hearing this, the adults reacted as if facing a great enemy. Without hesitation, they grabbed their weapons and prepared to head out for support, their faces grave.

After all, Pax Wolves were no ordinary opponents—their ferocity and cunning far surpassed that of King Land Turtles, and they were several levels more troublesome.

Moreover, Pax Wolf meat tasted even worse than King Land Turtle meat—it was sour.

At this tense moment, the village chief Rocks also learned of the news.

Though advanced in age, the moment he heard the children were in danger, he immediately joined the support team without hesitation.

He knew his old bones were no longer as sturdy as in his youth, but in a critical moment, he could still hold on for a while.

When the group rushed out to rescue them, they were stunned to find that the pack of Pax Wolves had already all fallen to the ground, dead through and through.

Not far from the corpses stood a tall figure.

This person had emerald-green hair and slightly dark skin—no need to ask, these appearance traits undoubtedly belonged to the legendary Superd race.

The group exchanged glances, momentarily at a loss.

However, what happened next completely exceeded their expectations.

Through the village chief's exchange, they learned that this Superd race member was named Ruijerd and held no malice toward them.

On the contrary, he had just saved the Migurd race children, rescuing them from the clutches of the Pax Wolves.

After learning the truth, the fear and wariness in the Migurd race people's hearts instantly diminished greatly, replaced by gratitude and acceptance toward Ruijerd.

They soon set aside their prejudices and misunderstandings about the Superd race and began to interact with Ruijerd amicably.

Upon further understanding, they were even more shocked to discover that the Superd race was not as terrifying and brutal as the rumors claimed.

After all, the Migurd race people had mostly grown up hearing horror stories about the Superd race, so realizing the reality did not match was still quite shocking.

"This should be the reason I was accepted by this village," Ruijerd said calmly.

Loving children had been a trait of his for a very long time. No matter whose child it was, if someone harmed a child, Ruijerd would slaughter them.

"I see." Hearing this, Dan Feng also felt goodwill toward Ruijerd—after all, people who like children generally have decent character.

"Mm, any other questions? If not, I'm going to head back to the village chief's house for a short rest." Ruijerd said slowly.

After resting, he would most likely leave the Migurd race and set off on his journey to find other Superd.

Dan Feng shook his head and said faintly, "None. Then let's part here. We also plan to leave the Demon Continent tomorrow."

Ruijerd nodded silently, then picked up his trident and headed toward the village chief's house in the center of the village.

Afterward, Dan Feng turned to look at Roxy beside him and asked where she wanted to take him.

"It's actually right here. Before, this is where I found Bloody Kant-sensei passed out." Roxy said gently, then pointed to an open area in the distance.

It seemed Bloody Kant had been lying there unconscious before.

"Then I thought she was dead and wanted to check if she had anything valuable on her, but she came back to life and said she was extremely hungry."

"After that, I brought her home and gave her King Land Turtle meat to eat, which finally revived her."

Roxy recounted the story of her first meeting with Bloody Kant as a child. Thinking about how a world-traveling adventurer nearly starved to death on the Demon Continent was quite amusing.
