Central Plains Chapter 39 Traces of Demons
Xingzhou of the Dawu Dynasty, Fengxi Town, the territory of Phoenix City.
This town is located in the western border of Dawu, during which there are many mountains and rivers, wild beasts are rampant, human survival is extremely difficult, Fengxi Town is the only human settlement area within a radius of 100 miles.
Fengxi Town is not big, and there are not many people in the town, in total, there are nearly 100 households, and the population of four or five hundred is only. Early this morning, the people of Fengxi Town got up early as usual, and the young and strong families also gathered in the center of the town early, and every day they had to meet to go into the mountains to hunt and supplement their food.
I saw more than 100 young people are waist knives, carrying hunting bows, after the people arrived, there were talking and laughing to go to the mountains, year after year, these young people have long been accustomed to today's life, the original dangerous livelihood in their eyes has become commonplace.
It's just that this group of young men has just left for half an hour, and they saw nearly a hundred figures suddenly appear in a mountain forest, all of them are black-clothed and masked, walking low and jumping high as they go, all of them are extraordinary people.
In a matter of moments, the men approached the town, and then, at the command of a man who seemed to be the leader, they crossed the low wooden fence in the town, drew their swords, and slaughtered all the men they met, whether they were men or women, old or young, and left no one alive.
For a while, chickens and dogs jumped in the town, and they wailed. The people in the depths of the town also knew that someone had invaded, although there were only some old and sick people left in the town, but they were also hunters in the jungle.
It's just that most of the people in the town are physically cultivated, and they are all old or physically disabled, how can they be the opponents of these martial arts masters? Of course, the blood is especially good, and the behavior is also commendable, but this is really accelerating the death of the people in the town.
After about a stick of incense, there was no longer life in the town, and the men in black settled down, searching for valuable things while holding knives and wrists. After about an hour, the leader saw that his men were carrying two black cloth packages, and he felt that it was almost over, and beckoned everyone to enter the mountain again.
It was close to noon when the young man in the town returned, and it had been nearly an hour since the man in black left, when the first person found out about the tragic situation in the town, he threw down a few hares in his hand and ran home, only then did the people behind him react, looking at the miserable scene in front of him, wailing, and going towards his home.
From the old man to the infant waiting to be fed, there was not a single living person, and before he died, he was terrified and desperate.
"Ahh
The town was full of these young men's wails, cries, and curses, but no matter what happened, they could not call their relatives back.
After a while, I don't know who took the lead first, and the nearly 100 hunters all picked up their weapons and chased them towards the mountains along the footprints left by the man in black.
This chase is a whole few days, nearly 100 hunters drink mountain spring water when they are thirsty, eat raw animal meat when they are hungry, and sleep only two hours a day, but, for several days, there is still no trace of the enemy.
For several days, they were all on the road with all their might, and they went up to Wanchuan Mountain after leaving this mountain forest, and then flowed along the Wanchuan River, and then flowed along the Chuanhe River, and then went up the Shazipo along the Yanchuan River.
About ten days later, this group of hunters finally caught up with them in a mountain forest on the border of Nanli, but after a few days of hard work, the anger in their chests was also smoothed out a lot, and at this time they had already calmed down a lot, knowing that it was impossible to take revenge on their own strength, so they divided a part of the people early and went towards the nearest few cities.
......
There was no news for more than ten days, Li Mang was really bored, at this time he was also lying on the bed, casually pulling the game in his mind, suddenly, the sound of the stone canopy sounded from outside the door, and at the same time a rush of footsteps from far and near.
"Brother Limang, hurry, there's news"
When Li Mang heard this, he jumped out of bed with a "whoosh", rushed to the door in three or two steps, and just opened the door, the stone tent also arrived just in time, and Bai Qiu was still hanging behind.
"Go"
Li Mang only said one word, and then rushed to the outside of the courtyard, the place he was going to was the main hall of the Hundred Saints Palace, the place where the strong people were meeting.
Shi Peng shook his head, helplessly glanced at Bai Qiu, and the two chased after Li Mang with a wry smile.
In the main hall, at this time, more than a dozen grandmasters had already sat down, just waiting for the light, from the moment he entered the hall, everyone stopped talking, Gu Shi looked at this young man, there was appreciation, gratitude, and fear in his eyes.
The Hundred Saints Palace advocated that Feng Feng saw that people were coming, and pretended to cough, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he slowly spoke: "Dawu and Nanli Kingdom have successively sent news, a group of demons slaughtered another town, and now they are fleeing towards the border of Nanli Kingdom, this group of people is not like the ones we monitored before, and they will not move after returning to the old nest, but as if they have an obvious destination, the two countries guess that it is likely that they are going to hand over their hearts."
Li Mang asked anxiously, "Who is following now?"
Zhang Feng is over fifty years old, his face is always kind, and he is kind, seeing that he is Li Mang, the look in his eyes is also like looking at his own children and grandchildren: "It is the surviving hunters in the town who report to the official, and now dozens of hunters are following."
"That's not good, if they are discovered by the demons, these people will be in danger, what's the matter?
"These demons have traveled all the way through the mountains and forests, and it is difficult for ordinary people, even masters, to track them, let alone the army. Only these hunters who have been in the jungle all year round will not lose them, but your worries are also right, so now we will discuss who to send," Zhang Feng said patiently.
"These people are heading in the direction of Nan Liguo, is the red robe somewhere in the Nanli country? At least the black robe is definitely there," Li Mang thought as he rubbed his smooth chin.
"Everyone thought so just now, so I summoned you to discuss what to do next, whether to send someone to follow up and make another plan, or to move the position forward together and go straight to Liguo" Zhang Feng nodded, his eyes full of appreciation for Li Mang.
Li Mang thought for a long time, and then said: "I am in favor of moving forward, the red robe appeared in the Dazhu Mountain on the border of Tianfu Country last time, and now it is very likely to be in the border area of Nanli Kingdom, even if it is not, it is definitely in the southwest area, and it has not entered the hinterland of the Central Plains." We will move our position forward to the border between Nanli and Tianfu, so that we will be closer to him, and even if there is any accident or if we find his traces, we can support him or intercept him as quickly as possible."
Everyone didn't speak, they lowered their heads and pondered for a long time, and then looked at each other before they spoke: "I think it's okay, so let's do it, anyway, there's no point in me waiting to sit here, if there is a sign that the red robe has entered the hinterland of Shenzhou, won't it be the same if we withdraw again!"
"Consent"
"I'm in favor of it too"
"No Comments"
......
Zhang Feng clapped his hands and said, "Okay, since everyone agrees, then let's choose a place first, and then pack up and go."
Li Mang also nodded and said, "Yes, without further ado, let's quickly agree on a place to go on the road, and there will be no delay."
Zhang Feng looked at Li Mang and asked, "Does Xiaoyou have a favorite?"
Li Mang smiled bitterly and said: "How do I know, there are only a handful of places I've been to, and I don't even know the road, this kind of thing is still agreed upon by your seniors."
"Haha... Okay, then let's find a place, what do you think?" It was rare to see the deflated side of Li Mang, so Zhang Feng laughed.
"How about the prestige city? This city is located thousands of miles south of the mountain city where we are, it is a big border city of the Nanli Kingdom, and it borders the three kingdoms of Dawu, Nanli, and Tianfu, so it is very convenient" The strong master of the export is considered to be a master of the Nanli Kingdom, so he knows the geographical situation of that place very well, so he opened his mouth to suggest.
Zhang Feng nodded and said, "I think it's okay, I've also been to that city, it's indeed our best choice, what do you mean?"
Nan Tian, the master of the Great Martial God Fist Gate, also got up at this time and said: "Yes, I have also been to that place, and it is indeed passable, so choose there."
"Okay..."Everyone nodded in agreement, and their opinions were unanimous.
Li Mang also nodded, then got up and said, "Then don't delay, I'll clean up, let's gather and set off in half an hour, okay?"
"There is no problem" Everyone is a martial artist, and there is not so much hypocrisy, so they naturally agree.
