"Don't think about going back. For so many years, none of the ghost cultivators who strayed into this place could go back. You probably don't have a chance either."

Bamu comforted Chu Yang and said, "Just stay here. Although you can't practice what you want here, you can always survive..."

"Survive? Your requirements are too low, aren't they?"

Chu Yang smiled bitterly.

Humans may have to consider the issue of lifespan when they disappear, but ghost cultivators don't have so many troubles. As long as they have enough energy, they can survive forever.

This advantage is incomparable to humans. No matter how much humans can eat and drink, they can't avoid the end of their lives.

Ghost cultivators don't need to consider the issue of survival at all.

But Chu Yang soon remembered that there is no spiritual energy in this small world.

So, how long can ghost cultivators live?

From the fact that Bamu handed him water, other ghost cultivators also need to eat, and their forms should be the same as his own, they are all entities.

Entities need the energy of food to maintain their existence and activities.

So, after becoming entities, can ghost cultivators still have as long a life as spirits?

If ghost cultivators can also die, then this small world is probably a real hell for ghost cultivators.

"It's good to be alive. Only by living well can you have more opportunities and possibilities."

Bamu said lightly: "I know you all had a long life, but here, you can't escape birth, aging, sickness and death. This is the way of heaven..."

"Have many ghost cultivators died here?"

"Yes..."

"How long do they live?"

"I don't know. Although I have seen some old ghost cultivators, I have never seen them die. All the dead ghost cultivators I have seen died in battle."

"Is there still war here? War between countries? Or between villages?"

"We don't have the concept of countries here, and there will be no fighting between villages."

"Then your fight..."

"Beasts, we need to fight all kinds of beasts so that we can get food."

"Beasts..."

Chu Yang remembered the wild dog he had just seen, the wild dog as strong as a bull.

Even he had a hard time dealing with that kind of creature, let alone these ordinary humans.

If all the beasts in this world are like that, then the living environment of humans can be said to be extremely bad.

"This is the situation here. The ghost cultivators who come here will choose a village to settle down."

"Only by joining us and working together can we get enough food and survive together in this world."

"There is less food around our mountain village, but it is safer and there are fewer ferocious beasts than in the mountains..."

"Then, Chu Yang, have you considered it? Do you want to stay in our village?"

Bamu invited Chu Yang again.

Chu Yang was silent for a while: "If I want to stay in this world, I don't mind joining your village, but... I still have to find my friends, I'm afraid I can't stay here for the time being."

"Are you going to find your friends alone?"

"Are there any problems?"

"If you are alone, it will be difficult for you to go too far."

"Oh? You mean... there will be many beasts along the way?"

Chu Yang immediately guessed what Bamu meant.

Bamu nodded and said, "Yes, there are many wild animals. The further you go into the mountains, the more wild animals there are, especially at night..."

"Are there more wild animals at night?"

"Yes, many wild animals are active at night. If you can't get to the next village before dark, it will be very dangerous."

"Are the villages far apart?"

"Yes, it takes at least a day to walk to the nearest village, and it takes several days to walk to the farther villages."

"Why did you build the village so far away?"

"Because there is not enough food. If it is too close, people in both villages will starve to death."

"Oh..."

Chu Yang nodded silently.

Insufficient food has always been the biggest obstacle to human survival and reproduction.

In fact, humans can easily become the masters of a world with their wisdom and group cooperation.

But the premise is that there must be a certain population.

The total population of Shanbian Village is less than 100, and less than one-fifth of them are young and strong. How can they rule a region?

It is not possible to have more people because the village cannot support so many people without enough food.

Too many people is not a problem that can be solved by expanding the hunting territory.

Even if there is no conflict with the hunting territory of other villages, the hunting range of a village must be considered.

They can only hunt during the day and must return to the village at night. The hunting range can only be within a day's journey.

If they insist on hunting at night, there will definitely be serious casualties.

The pitfall is that if a young and strong man dies in the battle, it may take more than ten years to replace him.

Or it may take at least a few years to wait for some children to grow up.

If too many young and strong men die in the battle at one time, the village is basically finished.

The remaining old, weak, women and children basically have no ability to survive on their own.

Defecting other villages will definitely bring huge pressure to other villages.

From this point of view, it is no wonder that Bamu enthusiastically invited Chu Yang to join.

Because ghost cultivators are basically alone, and they are all young and strong, and even have superb martial arts skills, they can directly participate in battles and hunting.

Which village wouldn't like such a high-quality labor force.

"Stay, don't go on this adventure alone."

Bamu once again issued a sincere invitation: "Even if you are going to find your friends, don't be in a hurry. After some time, a caravan will come here. You can ask the people in the caravan. Maybe They will have news about your friends..."

"Do you still have a caravan here?"

"Of course it has to be there, otherwise how can we communicate with each other? The specialties of each place are different, such as some animal furs that can keep warm, some fruits that can be stored..."

"Um?"

Chu Yang suddenly thought of something: "Why don't you consider farming? Only farming can truly solve the food problem."

Bamu shook his head and said: "A ghost cultivator also mentioned this matter before, but then it was ignored. He said that we have no plants that can be cultivated here, only some wild fruits with extremely low yield and no cultivation value..."

"What about breeding? Has no one ever considered raising livestock?"

"Some ghost cultivators also mentioned breeding, but in the end they gave up."
