Chapter 209: The Return of the Otherworld
Zhang Han breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was ecstatic, Lao Tzu finally came back, jumped out of the pool, all sides were full of rocks, gloomy and dim, cold to the bone, obviously a deep hidden in the deep mountains and valleys of the ancient underground cave, the black pool is located under it, it is simply a living and eerie hell.
The mountain city is transformed by the gloomy atmosphere of the deep mountains of the Xuan Realm, and such a terrain is very suitable.
After climbing up for tea time, he walked out of this gloomy underground valley, surrounded by red peaks and mountains, the mountains were undulating and leaping, like a demonic beast hibernating, even if the sun was shining, it was still gloomy and shrouded in a layer of hideous atmosphere. In such a place, even if the mountain market is visible, it is impossible for too many people and demons to see it.
The time was already noon, Zhang Han pinched his fingers and calculated, from entering the mountain market to now, two full days have passed.
This trip to the mountain market, although almost unable to get out, is extremely thrilling, but the harvest is very rich, first of all, I got a lot of the essence of the belly to ward off evil spirits, and secondly, I found a weapon to take advantage of. Thinking of this, Zhang Han couldn't help but pull out the sharp blade on his waist, only to see that the blue sharp blade seemed to faintly give birth to a sharp ghost, and the blue light on the blade body flowed, as if he was holding not a sharp weapon, but a piece of blue lightning.
Zhang Han secretly rejoiced in his heart, anything entering the Xuan Realm will change, this is the natural law of the Xuan Realm, and it is true.
The demon power dived to the blade body, the blade waved slightly, the edge on the blade exploded, and with a bang, a fast solid rock a few zhang away fell silently, and the incision was smoother and smoother than cutting melons and fruits.
Zhang Han said excitedly: "Lao Tzu finally has a sharp weapon, Gudong boy, do you say it's better to call it a knife or a sword? Such a strange soldier must have a name, right?"
Gollum groaned: "It was originally a broken arrow arrow, the arrow and sword have the same sound, and it comes from the hand of a spirit from another world, why don't you call it an elf sword?"
"Elven Sword, the name is good, I will call you Elven Sword in the future!" Zhang Han thought for a while and smiled, inserting the sharp blade back into his waist.
After flying two pillars of incense in this vast rugged and gloomy peak, Zhang Han returned to Chiba City.
Chiba Castle is still bustling with traffic, but there are many burly monsters in heavy armor on the streets, riding tall and ferocious monsters, holding all kinds of good killing weapons, and their faces are full of murderous energy, walking through the streets and alleys one after another, their eyes scanning every pedestrian and corner with sharp eyes.
Look at their outfits and pomp, like vigilantes stepping up patrols.
Moreover, most of the hurried people and demons on the street looked a little restrained, gathering in groups of three or five to whisper, as if they were secretly discussing some ulterior secrets.
In just two days, the atmosphere in Chiba City has become a little weird, as if it is preventing some thieves from plundering the city.
Could it be that something big has happened in Chiba City in the past two days? Zhang Han couldn't solve the doubts in his heart, so he simply went back to the Golden Cave and asked Ziwei and Ji Manfu to go.
As soon as he entered the door, Ji'an was already walking around the door, and when he saw Zhang Han coming back from outside, he was immediately overjoyed.
"Master, you have finally returned, where have you been these two days? ”
Zhang Han knew that he was worried about his safety, so he smiled vaguely: "Aren't I coming back?
"The Ten Directions Demon Alliance's 'Seeking Talents' will start tomorrow at the 'Dianjiangtai', isn't the master in a hurry at all?"
Zhang Han was stunned: "Tomorrow? so soon, didn't you say that it will take about ten days?"
"I can't wait for ten days," Ji An suddenly lowered his voice, "Didn't the master notice that the atmosphere in Chiba City is very different now? ”
"When I came back just now, I found that the streets and alleys seemed to be on heightened vigilance, and I was about to ask you, what happened?" Zhang Han frowned.
"This is not the place to speak, master, please take a step to speak!" Ji An said in a low voice, his expression a little mysterious.
Zhang Han followed Ji An into a secret room in the back hall, before entering the door, Ji An couldn't wait to say to Zhang Han in a deep voice: "That's the case, master, in the past two nights, strange things have happened in Chiba City continuously, according to the news that the old slave's eyeliner came back, there are at least hundreds of demons and people in the city who have disappeared inexplicably in the past two nights, and now there are rumors in the city, saying that there are all kinds of things, which has made the city full of wind and rain, and the demon heart is panicked." ”
"Missing? They won't leave on their own, right? There are so many demons and people in Chiba City, do you still care that there are so many demons and people missing?" Zhang Han said in surprise.
"No way, according to the reliable information obtained by the old slave, there may be a myeloid eater in Chiba Castle! Ji An said in a deep voice, word by word.
"Myeloid Eater?" Zhang Han was stunned, "What is the Myelin Eater?"
Ji An was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Zhang Han to even know the marrow eater, and said slowly: "The marrow eater is the most headache for the monsters on the land of the Ten Directions Demon Land, it is not a demon or a demon, for hundreds of thousands of years, every thousand years, it will erupt in a concentrated manner, they also cultivate like normal people and demons, but they do not improve the cultivation realm according to the phase transformation method of normal monsters, but specialize in sucking the hearts, brains, and blood of humans and monsters to strengthen their own strength, and the cultivation method is evil and cruel, the people of the Xuanjing Continent, The demons regard them as terrible and annoying as the plague, every time they appear, the Ten Directions Demon Alliance must immediately gather all the forces that can be gathered, and even hire masters from other continents in the Xuanjing Continent to help them in the bud, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
"Are they very powerful?" Zhang Han asked in a deep voice.
Ji An shook his head and said: "A single marrow eater is not necessarily very powerful, the marrow eater is mainly divided into three stages: early, middle and demon stage, the marrow eater monster in the early and middle stages is not to worry, generally people and demons who are above the second and third rate can kill them, the most powerful is the marrow eater monster in the demon period, their demon power will surge exponentially, and they must be personally shot by famous masters or masters such as the eight great celebrities and the eight great strange sects to cut them off." ”
Zhang Han pouted: "Then I don't see how powerful their demon power is, why are you afraid of being like this? It seems that some flood beast is coming." ”
Ji An said in a deep voice: "But master, the most terrifying thing about the myeloid eaters is not their demonic power and witchcraft, but their reproduction speed, a myeloid eater can lay more than a dozen demon eggs in three to five days, according to this speed, they can breed 100,000 people in just over a month." ”
"About five thousand years ago, due to the fierce sectarian dispute in the Xuanjing Continent, neglect to take precautions, the myeloid eater once took the opportunity to rise, in less than a year, their number reached millions, it is said that the myeloid eater monster in the demon period alone reached tens of thousands, and soon spread to the major continents, the cultivators, demons and living beings in the various continents of the Xuanjing Realm, in that catastrophe, at least one-tenth of them died, this is the famous 'flood' in the history of the Xuanjing Continent. If it weren't for the fact that the major cultivation sects saw the severity of the situation, abandoned their prejudices, formed a united front, and went all out to encircle and suppress the Myeloid Eater, today's Xuan Realm would probably have become the world of low-level oviparous monsters like the Myelin Eater. ”
Zhang Han was speechless: "No, one-tenth of them died? What happened then, didn't they eliminate all the marrow eaters?"
Ji An shook his head and said: "The reproduction ability of the myeloid eater is too strong, as long as there is a drop of blood left on the ground, it will not take two or three hundred years to reproduce and biochemically produce new myeloid eaters, to completely exterminate them, it is impossible, the only way is to prevent it from happening, after the number of myeloid eaters explodes every thousand years, the Ten Directions Demon Alliance must immediately gather all forces to encircle and suppress them in the bud." ”
"But that time' After the flood, the eight great strange gates and the eight celebrities at that time had worked together to bury the remnants and remnants of the marrow eater in the peerless sinkhole of the Ten Directions Demon Land, and collected one thousand and eight demon stones from Sumeru, and built a demon suppression tower on the peerless heavenly sinkhole, it is said that there were hundreds of the top magic spell masters at that time carved hundreds of the top ancient seal spells of the Xuan Realm on the spire, it stands to reason that this demon suppression tower has been impregnable, and it is impossible for the marrow eater to resurrect, and for thousands of years, the marrow eater has indeed not appeared again, this time, I really don't know how they came out, Could it be that the Demon Suppression Tower above is broken?。。。。。。 ”
Zhang Han interrupted his self-questioning and answering: "I understand what you mean, the Ten Directions Demon Alliance's 'Seeking Talents' is in such a hurry to open, just to find someone to destroy the marrow eater, right?"
"Yes, as soon as the marrow eater appeared, the omen of the disaster that was self-evident on the stage of the general was fulfilled, and this 'Seeking Wisdom Meeting' naturally could not be delayed for a day, and the Ten Directions Demon Alliance wanted to recruit a large number of royal forest demons to help them subdue the demons!"
"Then do you think I'm going to wade into this troubled water and participate in the Royal Forest?"
