The overseas enclave of Xiangzhi Province, isolated overseas due to historical reasons, was once economically developed and the people were rich, and it has been using the Western political system, and in recent years it has been very unhappy with Longhuaguo.

After the return of the aura of Longhuaguo, the polls here have a one-sided tendency to return, but the authorities and government are biting the bullet and slandering Longhuaguo in the media, so although the number of people who come to live in Longhua has increased significantly in recent years, most people are still reluctant to leave here.

When the monster came before, Longhua sent a large number of awakened people to reinforcements, but when the ancient giant beast came, Longhua Kingdom was too busy to take care of itself, so he didn't send anyone to reinforce again.

Xiangzhi Province is a small area with a large population, and there were no ancient monsters coming here, but just a few days ago, an extremely fierce ancient beast landed from the ocean, and in just one day, Xionggang, the largest seaside city in Xiangzhi Province, was destroyed.

According to satellite images, this ancient beast has a large mouth on its smooth head, and among them is a mouth full of sharp teeth, and its eyes are small as if it cannot see, and no one can see what its body looks like, because countless tentacles cover its body, and there are six crocodile-like thick paws under its body, and it is also extremely agile to move on land.

The military strength of Xiangzhi Province is also quite strong, but it is vulnerable in front of the tentacle monsters, those tentacles are slippery and tough, and any means of attack are ineffective.

But when they asked for help in this matter, both the Amai Kingdom and the Dongyi Kingdom chose to remain silent, and only the Longhua Kingdom took the initiative to propose assistance and began to vigorously reinforce them.

This time, in order to solve this tentacle monster in one fell swoop, Longhua Guo directly mobilized five gold-armored warriors from various sects, and the Tiger Dragon Taoism also had a part, Zhu Tianpeng and his master Qian Yuanzi led a group of disciples to Xiangzhi Province by flying machine.

The place where the aircraft landed was in an extremely dilapidated airport, which was overgrown with weeds, and obviously no one had taken care of it for a long time.

There were already three sect disciples here who had taken the first step, and the last flying machine had also appeared in the distant sky.

The leader of the team was Li Chuang, the director of the first place, but at this time he had a gloomy face, and the official in charge of the reception was embarrassed, trying to laugh beside him.

"It's okay to eat, we don't want to burden you, we all bring your own food, but we don't even provide accommodation, which is a bit too much!

As far as I know, except for Xionggang City, there is no damage to other places, so how can there be no place to stay?"

The official who came to receive him was a big fat man, and at this time he apologized again and again.

"I'm sorry, Director Li, the people who live by the sea have already occupied all the hotels here, and we really can't vacate the place, so we have to grieve you to settle here. ”

Li Chuang didn't want to say anything more about this question, he knew in his heart that the big fat man in front of him said this, these are all excuses, even if there is no hotel, any military camp can properly place these thousands of people, this situation is not impossible but unwilling, he remembered something and asked:

"Where are all the team members we sent earlier, why haven't we heard from them since they came here?

The big fat man put away his sneer, and squeezed out a little sad look on his face:

"Director Li, a few days ago, those team members lost contact with us in Xionggang in order to resist that ancient monster, and we are also doing our best to search, you can rest assured, we will notify you as soon as there is news.

Director Li, you also know that there is some friction between our two countries, so please restrain your people not to go out at will here, and if there is anything, just let the herald inform me. ”

Looking at Li Chuang's sharp gaze, the fat man was a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly walked out after explaining.

Seeing this, Zhu Tianpeng knew that something must be wrong, Li Chuang saw him at a glance, rolled his eyes, called him over, and then said softly:

"Tianpeng, you also saw it just now, we have to go out to find out about the situation in Xiangzhi Province, most of the people here are cultivators in the mountains, they don't know the world, I know your ability, now only you are the most suitable to go. ”

Zhu Tianpeng nodded, informed the master, came to a secret place, used his magical powers, and walked out of this military airport.

Along the way, he changed his clothes, rode a bicycle, and came to the nearby city of Pingxi.

Pingxi City is located in the interior of Xiangzhi Province, far from the sea, at this time near noon, the street is full of people, quite lively, but most of the pedestrians have worried expressions on their faces.

The best place to listen to the news is the place where people gather, Zhu Tianpeng came to a teahouse that looked a little old on the outside, went up to the second floor, found a corner to sit down, and then opened his mind and listened to the conversation of the people here.

In the past, this place was already full, but at this time, the people who came to the teahouse were only half sitting, and most of the people were talking in low voices, unlike the locals in Tianjing City, who were louder than the other when eating.

Zhu Tianpeng asked for two cages of barbecued pork buns, a bowl of wonton, and a side dish, eating unhurriedly, people are talking about monsters, not only all kinds of rumors about the tentacle monster, but also the news that the monster that slipped through the net ran out of the mountains to harm people.

After listening for a while, there was nothing Zhu Tianpeng wanted to know, he was not in a hurry, and simply lay on the bamboo chair next to him and pretended to sleep.

Since there have been not many people in the teahouse, the guy has ignored him, and now there are many homeless people like him, as long as they pay for the meal in advance, everything is easy to say.

An hour passed, and the occasional mention of the awakened from across the Channel was a reminder of the Awakened, mostly shaking their heads and sighing, but a few people gloating.

There was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, followed by a rebuke from a fellow.

"What do you have to eat here? Hurry up, there are steamed buns in the shelter, and everything there is free. ”

Upstairs was a family of three, dressed cleanly, but their faces were gloomy, especially the little girl, who couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw the food.

"Okay, okay! There are some leftovers for the children! Where is the steamed bun in the shelter? We fled here from Xionggang, and the monster didn't eat us, but we were going to starve to death. ”

Zhu Tianpeng's heart moved, opened his eyes and asked the guy to lead their family of three to him.

"I've paid for their meals, so I can sit here and order whatever I want. ”

Before coming here, in order to prevent accidents, they had already prepared a lot of currency in circulation here.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, uncle!" The child's mother hurriedly asked her daughter to bow, and Zhu Tianpeng hurriedly asked the three of them to sit down.

The man is obviously a high-quality person, he didn't order too much food, Zhu Tianpeng saw this, and ordered a lot of food.

The girl was a little hungry, and as soon as the things were served, she devoured them, and although her parents were also hungry, they still ate well.

"Don't rush, eat slowly. Zhu Tianpeng said as he saw that most of the things he ordered went down, and he let the guy go on a lot.

When things went down, the whole body became comfortable, and Zhu Tianpeng asked as if unintentionally:

"Big brother, I heard just now that you came from Xionggang, is the situation there really so bad?"

The man put down the bun in his hand, sighed, and said:

"Miserable, really miserable! After the giant monster with tentacles all over its body came ashore, it began to wreak havoc, and many people were sent to its mouth as soon as those tentacles rolled up at random, and I don't know how many people became its food!

If we hadn't been saved by those on the other side, we'd have gone into the belly of the monster. ”

Zhu Tianpeng suddenly felt a thrill in his heart, knowing that he had found the right person, but he didn't ask directly.

"There are so many people in the army and police, is there no one to evacuate you?"

"Phew!" the man foamed, and continued:

"As soon as the monster came, they escorted the councillors and wealthy merchants out of Xionggang, if they hadn't closed the road so that those people could escape smoothly, where would so many people have died in Xionggang?

It's a pity that even in the end, those people on the other side of the river are still not allowed to withdraw, and I saw with my own eyes an awakened person in his twenties, who was beaten into a sieve by those policemen just because he wanted something to eat. ”

Zhu Tianpeng was stunned, as if he didn't believe what he said.

"How is it possible, aren't they afraid that the other side will take advantage of this to go crazy?"

"Don't you know, since that monster came ashore, the whole city of Xionggang has been cut off from the outside world, I used to have a satellite phone, and I couldn't even communicate with the outside world, if those people all died there, who knows. ”

Zhu Tianpeng was secretly frightened, the wife next to the man pulled him and asked him to say less, the man was a little polite, but a little arrogant.

"What are you afraid of? We have nothing left, what can we do? It's a big deal to be caught in, but we also have a place to eat and sleep. ”

"Big brother, let's not talk about these words! I just don't know what Xionggang City looks like now?"

He didn't want this man to get into trouble because of these things, and the last sentence was his own heartfelt inquiry, among those awakened people who came here in the early stage, Li Hao and Liu Meng were also among them.

The man looked around, also a little scared, leaned into Zhu Tianpeng's ear and whispered:

"I heard from the people who escaped later that the authorities did not let those people out, what is the city of Xionggang like now? No one knows, I guess it is more than lucky, but fortunately, the monster full of tentacles has returned to the sea after it has eaten enough, and maybe there are still people alive now. ”

Zhu Tianpeng nodded, and took out all the money left on his body, all of which were large banknotes, which were converted into dragon coins, which was equivalent to more than 100,000 yuan.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one around him was paying attention, he stuffed the money into the man's arms.

"Big brother, you take this money, find a place to live first, thank you for telling me this. ”

The man didn't expect him to do this, but quickly guessed his identity.
