Along the Tianshui River, the terrain is flat, and the fields are fertile.
Many common folks live here.
Over seventy percent of the Black Tiger Gang's food supply comes from this region.
On such a crucial piece of territory, no matter how strained their military forces are, the Black Tiger Gang cannot afford not to station troops for defense.
There must be a large army encamped nearby.
Along the way, Qin Niu saw quite a few corpses of the common people.
Some were holding children and trying to flee, likely overtaken by the Termite because they were too slow, bitten down to the ground.
Until their dying breath, they protected the child tightly beneath them.
But it was all in vain.
Both adults and children were killed by the Termite, their bodies now being consumed.
The Termite's appetite is astonishing, their nature savage; just six Termite could clean out an earthworm as thick as a pinkie finger in thirty minutes.
Qin Niu couldn't help these refugee commoners.
