Chapter 544: The Beginning
About two months after Fengchen entered the small world, this incident that forced the Aochen mercenary group to temporarily separate finally happened. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is not confined to a certain area, but with an irreversible momentum, it occurs in all corners of the Eastern Continent.
It may be next to an ordinary person's village, or under the mountain gate of a small sect, or it may be on the outskirts of a town, or it may be somewhere in a vast forest. In short, anywhere is possible, and no one can predict it.
When it appeared, it was not very abrupt, it was still very regular to have a warning first, and then the main topic was slowly revealed.
And this so-called omen is actually just at the beginning, the land began to turn black inexplicably.
Moreover, it is not a regional blackening of one by one, but a very inconspicuous one, starting from a small place.
Think about it, if a piece of land in your village suddenly turns black, you won't be bored to dig it up except for curiosity, and you have to see what's going on inside, right?
If you are a cultivator, even if you are different from ordinary people, when faced with such a thing, your attitude is not much different.
Therefore, when things first appeared, the vast majority of ordinary people actually didn't notice anything wrong.
If there is anything that can be seen from this, it is only those huge sects that have anticipated this matter.
In the southern border of the Eastern Continent, in a magnificent and majestic palace, an old man with crane hair and a childish face was talking with a middle-aged man.
"Do you want to deal with it? It's still just a symptom, if you deal with it properly, you may be able to eradicate some directly!" The middle-aged man seemed to have a lower status than the old man, and at this moment he stood aside respectfully, asking the old man what he meant.
"It's meaningless, this is just a beginning! What's more, even if it's just a symptom, it's not as easy as you think to dispose of it! At this time, although they can't move freely, it's even more difficult to kill! What's more, even if they are killed, it's just as meaningless, instead of wasting energy to do this kind of useless effort, it's better to recharge your energy and wait for the real battle to come!"
The old man shook his head, a hint of helplessness reflected in his eyes, and rejected the middle-aged man's idea.
"What about those ordinary mortals and weak cultivators, you can't abandon them?!! the middle-aged man asked again.
"I have already given an order: all the cultivators above the Refining Void Realm will be dispatched to bring back all the cultivators and mortals from the weak forces nearby, and above the Venerable Realm, they have already gone to create a small world for them to live in! Although it is only a drop in the bucket, how much can be saved!" The old man's voice revealed a hint of helplessness, because there were too many people who needed to be saved, and they alone were simply not enough.
Maybe he could save everyone within a radius of 100,000 miles, but so what? The Eastern Regions Continent is far vast!
On the other side, in the northwest of the Eastern Continent, in a mountain villa located at the top of the mountain, something similar was also happening.
"Sure enough, it still came, why did those things that only existed in the past, exist in legends, suddenly wake up from the earth? Is it fate, or is someone operating in secret? What is its purpose?!" said an old man slowly, his eyes shooting a sharp light, as if he could penetrate everything and gain insight into the truth of everything in the world.
The hair is not gray, but half black and half white, revealing a sense of vicissitudes, but there is no sense of drooping old age.
"Tell the Patriarch, within a radius of thousands of miles, there are indeed several places of black land within a radius of thousands of miles, as you said, and after scanning it with your divine sense, you will have a serious nausea and tingling sensation! Now those black lands are constantly expanding!" Next to him was a lean young man, although his body was slightly thin, but he exuded a strong spirit, giving people an inexplicable sense of solidity.
"Sure enough, it seems that it is indeed like the Fengyun Mercenary Group, as well as the Fengxing Caravan reported before, those things are not just a coincidence, but they are really going to wake up from this land!
A hint of fear flashed in the old man's eyes, and there was even a hint of reminiscence, as if he was searching for a certain point in his memory.
"Pass my order, within the next month, forcibly recall the disciples who have not returned from the outside world for a long time! If they don't come back within a month, they will be expelled from the sect directly! A month later, open the sect's mountain protection array, and in addition, send a part of the elders to the nearby city to notify and garrison, well, just go directly, there should also be a clear message!"
Suddenly, the old man stopped reminiscing, and his whole person's momentum suddenly changed, becoming extremely powerful, and at the same time shouted loudly.
"Shall we garrison the other cities together?, but will our own defenses be a little weaker?!"
The momentum of the old man's sudden explosion was almost blown down, and a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the lean cultivator, and at the same time, he also asked.
"This is just the beginning, there won't be anything for us at all, but not necessarily for other places! This disaster is definitely not just for our family, but for the entire continent! If we don't try our best to preserve the strength of the continent at this time, will we have to wait until the end to fight alone, and then we will regret it?!" The old man's voice was a little stern, as if he didn't appreciate the lean cultivator's practice of sweeping the snow in front of the door.
"It's the patriarch, it's the disciple who is shallow!, so how many forces are we going to send to other cities?!" asked the lean cultivator.
"I'll consider this point, you deal with the matter of recalling the disciple first!
In the southeast region of the Eastern Continent, a peaceful village in the vast forest was also broken at this moment.
"Daddy, the monsters in the village seem to be a little unstable recently, what's going on, do you know daddy?" a little girl in pink makeup leaned around her father and asked her father, who knew everything, when it happened in the village.
"Father, just now a demonic beast suddenly rioted, not only devouring its original owner directly, but also making a big fuss in the village! It doesn't look like it's been controlled by someone, but it's just crazy!" At this time, a young man who looked a little older than the little girl, but was only fourteen or fifteen years old, suddenly rushed in from outside the door, panting and recounting what happened not long ago, with a palpitating face, as if he was frightened by the monster riot. Although the rioting demonic beast has now been subdued, as long as he thinks of the appearance of the demonic beast at that time, the young man can't help but tremble.
"Really?。。。。。。 It seems that there is no way for our people to continue to live here!" The middle-aged man who was called the father of the two children pondered for a while, and after talking to himself for a while, a look of determination finally flashed in his eyes.
"You two go and inform the whole village, get ready, we're going to get out of here tomorrow!" the middle-aged man said in surprise.
"Why do you want to leave here, what's wrong with Daddy?!" the little girl froze for a moment.
"Father, is it true that something bad is going to happen?" The young man was not too surprised, they were quite proficient in the art of beast control, and their demonic beasts had never rioted like today, and the sudden appearance of this situation definitely represented something bad information, and he couldn't help but say solemnly.
"Don't ask so much, just do what I say!" The middle-aged man didn't seem to want to explain more.
"Well, what if the other uncles and uncles don't want to leave?" the boy asked, after a moment's thought.
"They'll say yes, and if nothing else, they should be able to guess something!" the middle-aged man sighed slightly.
The two children looked at each other for a moment, and then ran out of the room, as their father had instructed.
Then, just as the middle-aged man had predicted, the rest of the village, as if they had thought of something else, all of them appealed to the middle-aged man's suggestion and decided to leave the place where they had lived for countless years with their family early the next morning.
Don't they just like their hometown? No, they're just a last resort.
To stay is to die, and if you leave, you may be able to come back one day, and how to make a choice is not that difficult.
There are many, many such situations in the entire Eastern Continent, and it is definitely not just these three.
The situation of the major sects is also different, some have begun to gather the weak cultivators and even civilians nearby, and some have just recalled their own disciples, opened the sect protection array, and simply planned to be a shrunken turtle that does not listen to what is going on outside the window.
Some sent strong people to major cities to be responsible for guarding, while others just cowered in the sect, taking care of the east, west, north and south.
Some forces simply left their long-standing places and chose to go to a safer place so that they could escape.
Some... Some... Some... Countless of them, the forces of the entire Eastern Continent were almost boiling.
Of course, this also has a scope, for example, those who don't know what's going on at all, and don't have that good luck to have other big sects that will take care of small forces, small cities, are very unlucky, and they are still kept in the dark and don't know anything.
Of course, they won't be kept in the dark for long, because the CCP will only have some time left for them.
When the black land began to spread, and gradually emitted black qi, which began to affect the surrounding demonic beasts and some people, ordinary mortals, as well as those cultivators who were completely unaware of this incident and were still confused, finally woke up.
It seems that something bad is going to happen in front of them, and it is the kind that is very bad.
And this seems to have been completely eliminated after they witnessed some scenes that made them unbelievable and even painful: acquaintances, relatives, and children, after being polluted by the black gas, they did not recognize their six relatives, and waved their weapons directly at them, without any scruples or hesitation! Or they killed and injured their relatives and friends, without the slightest regret, let alone fluctuation, as if they had been swallowed up conscience and judgment. At this moment, they can be sure, they can look at the blood flowing on the ground, look at the sharp blade inserted in their bodies, and feel the pain in their hearts, to confirm it.
"These black gases, those black lands, are ominous things, they are disasters!" and they are the first wave of victims.
It's just that this time I realized this, but it was too late, because the fighting had already begun, and the dead but polluted people began to carry out unilateral slaughter or kill each other against the still alive and unpolluted people.
However, whether it is to fight back or sit back and wait, it is not really much meaning. Because, within a few days of the black gas enveloping the earth, and a few days after the polluted creatures began to riot, the initiator of all this finally woke up from the earth.
"It's still the same world, the air is so foul that it's disgusting, it's so obstructive that people can't help but want to break their bodies into pieces! I can't imagine that there will be a day when I will see these things again, I am here!"
An unknown monster came out of the black earth, exuding a rich black gas from all over his body, just like the unknown creatures that Fengchen and the others had seen before. It's just that they are not exactly the same in appearance, but they are all different, but they are all extremely ugly.
If it's just like that, it probably won't make people feel anything, after all, it's just some monsters, what's there to make a fuss about? Wouldn't it be nice to kill them like monsters? Yes, that's right, just kill them in horror, what's there to be afraid of?
But the problem is that these monsters that come out of the soil, these monsters with ugly appearances and unknown origins, these monsters that exude black gas all over their bodies, making people sick and disgusting, their strength is all above the Heavenly Refining Realm.
The weakest end has Heavenly Refining Realm cultivation, and the best of them, the True Realm Cultivation has reached the Refining Void Breaking Extreme.
Except for the fact that there were no Venerable-level powerhouses, the monsters that suddenly descended on the Eastern Regions Continent were so powerful that they were outrageous. Remember, it's not just one head or two ends, it's a whole level, which is terrifying.
And what's even more terrifying is that it still has to be put on the number of these monsters. The strength is so amazing, if the number is scarce, then there is no need to worry. So how many of these monsters are there? The answer is just four words: countless.
In all corners of the entire Eastern Continent, wherever black soil was produced, an unknown creature finally succeeded.
Perhaps the distribution density is not as large as imagined, it is about thousands of miles, and only one place can appear! But the question is, how big is the entire Eastern Continent? The horizontal and vertical distance can be described as tens of millions of miles, and there will be one place just a thousand miles, and if you calculate the number, you can encounter tens of thousands of unknown creatures just by crossing a line, and then counting the longitudinal line, the number is already terrifying.
There are hundreds of millions of unknown creatures, and their strength is all above the Heavenly Refining Realm, and this result is almost terrifying.
Yes, the population of the Eastern Regions Continent is indeed much larger than this, at least hundreds of billions of population bases, and cultivators account for the majority. But when it comes to the question, how many of these hundreds of billions of cultivators can truly cultivate to the Heavenly Refining Realm?
One in a hundred million appears in the Venerable, and one in a hundred thousand appears in the Refining Void Realm, then the Heavenly Refining Realm is probably at least one in one hundred thousand. Even if you are a little more optimistic, if you allocate one tens of thousands and exchange it for hundreds of billions, it is just a few millions.
Millions against hundreds of millions, if there is no intervention from the Venerable, there is no doubt that it will be a complete collapse on the cultivator's side.
And this was just the beginning, a battle, the beginning of an unprecedented war in World War I.
