Chapter 1 To the South
A young man rummaged through a dilapidated house, and after a long time, he left with an angry face, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes. He didn't seem to find anything.
Along the way, he cautiously walked to a collapsed house, quietly lifted a piece of rotten tile, and burrowed into the tunnel below!
In the darkness, gradually walk downward.
Gradually, the whispers and nonsense of children came from below. The boy rubbed his face, letting his expression go on with a less stiff expression.
"Brother Murong, are you back!?"
Voices of surprise came from below, and the boy saw these children who were not a few years younger than him or even as old as himself running in front of him, looking at him expectantly.
A little girl stood in the crowd, looking at Brother Murong's expression, he knew that Brother Murong was in a difficult situation now.
"Brother Murong, it's okay, our food can still be eaten for two days. ”
Brother Murong nodded, understanding what she meant, but what he was worried about was that even if they found food, they wouldn't last long. The city where they are now is already an empty city, and the demons will still wander here from time to time, and there is no way to live there for a long time.
It's been almost three months since the demons invaded Moron. There are only three words left of the entire continent - slaughter, flight, hatred!
More and more cities in the south were breached, more and more refugees were gathered, but fewer and fewer soldiers could fight. Among them, there are many old, weak, sick and disabled people who did not escape at that time, Murong and these children are one of them, at first Murong was just with his sister, that is, the little girl who had just talked.
Later, it turned out that more and more people were still alive, and until now, they have five or six children here. Murong became the leader of this group of children, and speaking of which, he was only a ten-year-old child. has experienced such hardships, but he has a mind that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
Going out every day to find some tools and food that can be used has become the main theme of Murong's life! He has practiced kung fu, and at the age of ten, he has already reached the realm of practicing the sevenfold body, and he can be said to be a genius. But the martial arts he has always been proud of are useless!
He still remembered that in the previous escape, the demon warrior who protected them faced hundreds of demons alone, without the slightest fear, and with a big knife in his hand, he cut those terrifying demons to pieces. If it weren't for the protection of their group of children, how could they die at the hands of the demons!
"Brother, let's go to the south!"
"Xiuxiu, we can't go to the ...... in the south," Murong Yan said, "Along the way, I don't know how many demons there are, once discovered, all of us will die!"
"But brother, we are also waiting for death here, our food is almost finished, and when the time comes, we will have nothing to do. Instead of waiting here to die, it is better to try to escape to the south! Perhaps, there is still hope for survival. ”
Murong fell into deep thought, what his sister said was not reasonable, but he really couldn't take this decision. I had to leave this issue to everyone here to decide, but I didn't expect that they had already discussed it.
"Brother Murong, we have decided, let's go to the south together!"
"But ......"
"Don't worry, Brother Murong, we won't drag you down! Look, we still have weapons!"
Murong's gaze fell on the long knife in the young man's hand! It was the long knife of the Demon Fallen soldier before! After they buried the man, they put away his long knife, wanting to use it as a weapon for self-protection.
But these teenagers looked a little unsteady even holding a knife, and Murong showed a wry smile. Looking at the mark on the long knife, I was a little distracted.
He knew that this was the sign of the Demon Fall! Skeleton weeping blood, the Land of the Demon Fall!
"Aren't you afraid of death?" asked Murong in a deep voice, he was the oldest person here. Even if you don't have that vicissitudes, you have to pretend to be very serious.
"Don't be afraid! Death will die, it is the evil seed that is afraid of death!" a young man said angrily, "We are all going to be killed by the demons, and we are afraid of death, if I live, I must practice martial arts diligently in the future and kill all those demons! Even if I die, I will gnaw off a piece of their flesh." ”
Murong gritted his teeth and fell into a choice.
"Okay! We'll leave tomorrow at dawn!"
"Okay!" Murong Xiu replied happily with a child.
But in Murong Jin's heart, it was not so easy, they had only seen the horror of the demon race in the hurry of fleeing when the demon clan attacked, but they didn't know that the real horror of the demon race was their endurance and innate physique superior to that of humans!
It was precisely because of these two points that the demons were able to defeat the defenders of Moron in the north.
During this period of time, Murong Jin knew this very well!
In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was slightly cloudy, several children crept out of the dilapidated cellar where they originally lived, and the leader was Murong Jin, who was the eldest child and the only one who had learned martial arts, and it was most suitable for him to explore the way!
He poked his head out of the cellar and carefully observed the surroundings before beckoning the children to come up one by one. Carefully move towards the chosen destination. They only carry two days' worth of food! they are half-grown children, and they can't walk long in a day.
After a morning of walking, they were almost at their limit. Here, it's a long way away from the previous town, but there is not a single figure or demon clan that has been encountered, and I have to say that their luck is very good.
"Brother Murong, how long do we have to go before we can get to the south......"
"yes, I'm so tired. ”
Murong Jin sighed softly, he didn't know the answer, he only knew that the escape route was all the way to the south, as for what was in the south, he didn't know!
After resting for a noon, several people finally recovered some strength, and with the support of the river, several people began to move on.
At the end of this day, several children were exhausted, and even some of them had blisters on their feet, and tears were falling from pain. But remembering what he said a day ago, he held back his tears vividly.
"Let's get a good night's sleep, I've seen it, there are no traces of demons around here, it should still be safe, I will keep vigil." Murong Jin said.
was immediately interrupted by Murong Xiu: "But brother, you've been gone for a day, so you should take a rest." ”
Murong Jin shook his head, after all, he was also a martial artist who practiced sevenfold physique, and he could still bear this little bit of travel. It's just that looking at these children who endure the pain, I can't bear it. Holding his sister in his arms, stroking her hair, and letting her fall asleep gently, Murong Jin's heart calmed down.
A few hours have passed, Murong Jin has been in a state of half-asleep and half-awake, he doesn't dare to fall asleep, once he is discovered by the demons, they will not even have a chance to escape!
It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Murong Jin's heart calmed down, his master had taught him that in the early hours of the morning, whether it was a human or a demon, it would be the time when he was most mentally exhausted. In other words, at this time, the chance of encountering the demons is also the smallest!
Murong Jin lowered his head and happened to see the clothes he was draped on, and it was also printed with the symbol of the Demon Fallen Warrior before-the skeleton crying blood.
At this moment, Murong Jin, who had no intention of sleeping, fell into his own reverie, what kind of team is the Demon Fall, what kind of team is it, it can give up its life to protect them, and it can slaughter the Demon Clan so easily! All this is too different from Murong Jin's previous life.
Just when Murong Jin fell into a beautiful imagination, a long roar stunned all these children!
"Demons! It's the roar of the demons!" Several children who had fallen asleep suddenly got up, and they were also worried about their own safety with a trace of energy. As soon as he heard the roar at this moment, he immediately bounced up, and looked in the direction from which the sound came with a frightened face.
Immediately, they set their eyes on Murong Jin's body, he was their only support.
"Brother Murong, what should we do?"
Murong Jin's spirit was also for a while, and the trace of sleepiness that was still left in his body was also gone, and he immediately stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go now! Remember, don't make a sound!"
Murong Jin once survived under the noses of the demons. He knew that the eyesight of the demons might be better than that of humans, but it was about the same, but the most terrifying thing was that the hearing of the demons was definitely several times that of humans. Even from a great distance, they can hear human noises!
What Murong Jin didn't know was that this was the usual way of the demon race, roaring from afar, and some timid humans might scream immediately, so that the demon clan could immediately lock the location of the human race.
They didn't have time to pack up some of the things around them, so they embarked on the road of escape.
The second day was much more difficult than the first day, with physical fatigue, mental tension and a sense of crisis. These half-grown children have been walking in fear, and from time to time they will look at the environment behind them to see if there is a demon figure. After walking like this for a long time, Murong Jin finally put his mind at ease.
Half a day has passed, and if the demons had found them, they would have caught up long ago.
However, Murong Jin still ignored one thing, since the Demon Race is far superior to humans in hearing, what about the other senses? For example, the Demon Race's sense of smell.
He could distinguish the smell of human beings, although it was too far away, but along the way, it was difficult to guarantee that no other demons would find their traces, or rather, walk along the road they walked.
Once you get closer, the demons will immediately discover their smell and track them down!
Murong Jin took this group of children to rest in a jungle, and he was alone, taking the lead in walking to a commanding height, wanting to observe the environment ahead, but found that from a distance, there was a dilapidated place in the distance that was the same as the city they were in before!
It seems that it has also been trampled on by the demons. It's a small town, not as big as the previous one, but there should be some food.
Demand immediate action!
Murong Jin hurriedly urged several children to get up and walk forward. It looks like it might take another two or three hours for them to get there. Murong Jin's idea was to arrive before dark!
After all, with the shelter of the building, they would be relatively safe at night.
Several of the children had begun to let out heavy gasps, but none of them had called for a stop. They are all survivors of the Demon Race's slaughter and know the importance of time in escaping. Even if the youngest of them is only five or six years old!
This city looks very old, and some buildings, even if they are not ravaged by demons, may not last for a few years. Murong Jin carefully stroked the texture of these buildings, and the old man was a little awkward. The immature palm is out of place with these things.
I don't know what happened here, but Murong Jin was very cautious in his heart, here, compared to the previous city, it was much more seriously destroyed. Even, the wreckage of some buildings has been shattered! Here, I am afraid, the stubborn resistance of human beings has been experienced.
It is even possible that it is possible to cause such damage because of the existence of human masters here before. Murong Jin, who has a cultivation foundation, has a vision that these ordinary children can not compare.
Many of these children are already slumped on the ground. It was already dusk, and after a two-day journey, they had finally found a decent place to rest. You might even find some food here.
However, before these children could breathe their breath, they heard a terrifying roar suddenly coming from behind them!
