Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 108: Night Parade of One Hundred Demons (Part 2)
Ever since the chaos in the underworld began and monsters were everywhere in the city, he immediately took in and protected the mortals who were being slaughtered by the monsters in the surrounding area.
In order to save these mortals from the mouths of ferocious monsters, he had previously fought against a large number of monsters.
However, no one knows how many monsters there are in this city.
Even though he had just cleared out the surrounding monsters, more monsters kept gathering around him in just a moment.
With his strength, if he only protected Cai Xingchao and his son, there might be a chance that they could save their lives and survive.
But if you want to protect so many mortals by yourself, it would be a foolish dream.
But he just couldn't give up these mortals and ignore them.
But whenever he thought of Shi Youling and Cai Xingchao, he felt filled with guilt.
I took great pains to find the two people and wanted to compensate them well, but I didn't expect that I would encounter this situation before my good days lasted long.
If he hadn't found them, Xing Chao might have been able to escape the disaster and survive?
"I am sorry for you." Cai Heng looked at Shi Youling who was standing behind him, and his upright body finally hunched a little.
"The emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies for the country. As a member of the Great Xia Pacification Division, my father-in-law is not greedy for life in order to protect the people of Great Xia. It is both a responsibility and a righteous cause. What's wrong with that? Not only do I and Xing Chao not blame my father-in-law, but we admire him very much and feel honored for him. Since my mother and I are members of the Cai family, it is only natural for us to die with the Cai family!"
Shi Youling, who had just recovered from the venom of the red pearl snake not long ago and was still a little weak, had a soft voice but an extremely firm tone, and every word was sonorous.
"Mom is right! How can we stand idly by while these ferocious beasts slaughter their own kind?" Cai Xingchao clenched his fists, a firm look on his still somewhat childish face.
They are all good children of the Cai family!
Looking at the determined expressions on Shi Youling and Cai Xingchao's faces, Cai Heng's heart was burning and his eyes were red.
…
From time to time, I could hear the screams of mortals being bitten by monsters.
In a building within sight, a demon jackal was biting a man's arm.
Bloody.
Lu Qingshan remained silent and continued to move forward with the Yinhu team.
They had no idea how many times they had seen this kind of scene along the way. It could be said that this kind of scene was happening in almost every corner of the entire Zhenjiang city.
However, the Yinhu team never took action once along the way.
Too much.
The six monks of the Yinhu team alone could not handle it all.
What's more, their spiritual power is reserved for dealing with the monks from the underworld.
Moreover, they also understood clearly that even if they took action now and temporarily rescued these mortals, with various monsters roaming all over the city, these mortals would inevitably be attacked by the next monster.
So they can only choose to ignore these scenes.
dumb--
dumb--
From the sky came the sound of dry and hoarse cries, which came from far away and became one after another.
Hearing this sound, Lu Qingshan's face changed and he called to his team members, "Hide quickly!"
Then Lu Qingshan's figure flashed into a single-family building next to him.
The members of the Yinhu team did not suspect anything and followed Lu Qingshan into the small building.
Hiding his body well, facing the puzzled looks of the crowd, Lu Qingshan said solemnly, "This is the cry of the ghost bat."
"Ghost Bat?"
Lu Qingshan explained, "It's a very treacherous demonic beast that usually only appears in groups in dark environments. A group of ghost bats has at least a thousand of them. The individual strength of ghost bats is not strong, but they act entirely on their bloodthirsty instincts. If they find us, they will swarm over us. With their numbers, it will definitely be a big deal to deal with them. However, except for the eye sense, the other five senses of ghost bats have all degenerated, so we just need to hide in the building for a while and wait for the group of ghost bats to go away."
Xu Hao suddenly realized and couldn't help feeling somewhat relieved.
Xiao Zhi's green-eyed weasel can only detect the situation above the ground. They have no good means of protection against this kind of demonic bird in the sky.
Fortunately, there is a strange cultivator like Lu Qingshan in the Yinhu team who can know the detailed information of the visitor just by listening to the sound of the call.
But what is the origin of Lu Qingshan, and why does he know so much about these magical beasts?
The monks of the Yinhu team had this question in their minds almost at the same time.
"Why does it smell like blood?" Xiao Zhi suddenly asked
Su Shu sniffed and said, "It seems to be coming from inside."
Lu Qingshan glanced around.
The small building they hurriedly hid in was not big, with only one floor.
It looks like a small business selling low-quality talismans . Outside is a store for business, and inside is a so-called warehouse and residence, separated by a door curtain.
However, the counter outside where various talismans were supposed to be placed was empty.
Thinking of the faint smell of blood floating in the air, Lu Qingshan frowned, lifted the door curtain and looked inside.
What came into view was the body of an old man with a pierced chest, lying on the ground. Next to him lay a little girl who looked no more than seven or eight years old.
The little girl had delicate features, but her eyes were closed at this moment, her face was filled with frozen shock and pain, blood was constantly flowing from the back of her head, and she was already dead.
The blood was being rapidly absorbed by the Shura Blood Transformation Formation, but the bloody smell in the air was not so easy to disappear.
Next to the two corpses were two young male cultivators who were rummaging through boxes and cabinets. Their cultivation was not high, one was at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and the other was at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
"Brother, what's that sound?" The black-clothed male cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining looked a little panicked when he heard the hoarse cries of ghost bats coming from the outside world.
It was these sounds that covered up the noise made by the Yinhu team when they entered the trading company.
"It's probably some kind of ferocious beast. Never mind. Let's quickly gather these materials. When this chaos is over, we can sell them quietly. With this batch of resources, it's not impossible for the two of us to break through to the foundation building stage."
"Brother, are we really okay like this?"
"What could have happened? The city is in such chaos right now, people are dying all the time. Who knows if these two people died at the hands of a beast or were killed by someone?"
"But Shopkeeper Li has been kind to us before. He bought our monster blood at a price that was 10% higher than other shops. Xiuxiu is still so young..."
The leading male cultivator had a fierce look in his eyes, and slapped the black-clothed male cultivator hard on the back of his head, "Do you regret it now?"
The black-clothed male cultivator was questioned by the leading male cultivator and seemed to be timid: "I..."
The leading male cultivator spoke in a sinister and vicious tone: "Cultivators must fight for these so-called resources. As independent cultivators, we risk our lives to fight, but we can't earn many resources in our entire lives. If this continues, how can we hope to build a foundation? Now that the city is in chaos, we can take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and obtain cultivation resources that we can't earn in our entire lives. This is the greatest opportunity we have encountered so far!"
The black-clothed male cultivator stammered, "But why did you attack Manager Li and Xiuxiu? You could have attacked someone else, too..."
"You are only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and I am only at the fifth level. If we really fight, how sure are we? Only the confused old shopkeeper Li, as a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, would not be on guard against us at all under such circumstances and would be willing to take us in, allowing me to launch a sneak attack easily. As for Xiuxiu, I don't want to kill her either, but you have to know that if we don't kill her, our attack on Shopkeeper Li might be exposed. I must erase all evidence!"
puff!
An ice blade pierced through the throat of the leading male cultivator, blocking his next words.
The leading male cultivator covered his neck which was bleeding continuously, and stared with wide eyes at the six cultivators of the Yinhu team who appeared at the door curtain at some point in time.
The Li clan had a cold expression on their faces.
He could no longer bear to listen to the beastly words of the leading male cultivator, so he took decisive action.
Looking at the black-clothed male cultivator who was still speechless because he hadn't reacted to the current situation, Li Zu's eyes were full of disgust.
"Although I didn't do it myself, I knew my brother was doing evil and didn't stop him. I deserve to die!"
Li Zu waved his left hand, and another ice blade emitting cold air shot out and cut the neck of the male cultivator in black.
Even though it was just a casual spell, it was cast by a Foundation Establishment cultivator after all. How could two Qi Refining cultivators possibly block it? They all died instantly.
Looking at the bodies of the two male cultivators lying next to the bodies of the old man and the girl, although he had expected this to happen, after witnessing it with his own eyes, Lu Qingshan still couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion in his chest.
In the chaos, some people were trying desperately to save the city, while others were releasing the demons in their hearts, which were no different from the monks from the underworld, or even more terrifying than them.
Lu Qingshan peeked out from the store to check the situation.
In the gloomy weather, countless black ghost bats were flying in the sky. Their round little heads only had two big ears, and their fine and sharp little teeth revealed their bloodthirstiness. Their hairless wings were like a thin film, and the skeleton inside could be clearly seen.
The scarlet pupils of the ghost bats were extremely eye-catching under the dark sky, and they were densely packed and extremely terrifying.
The ghost bats formed a black tide that covered the sky.
They chirped hoarsely, they were foraging for food frantically, and they turned the city into a hell on earth.
The scene before my eyes was like a hundred demons parading at night.
Lu Qingshan looked back at the corpse in the store and his heart turned cold.
Hundreds of ghosts and monsters appear on the stage.
But the most terrifying thing is not these monsters, but the devilish human hearts.
Look at the hundreds of ghosts parading at night, there are some people mixed in with them, happier than the ghosts.
