In Fancheng, there are many ink tile houses, and there is no hustle and bustle in the whole city. At first glance, it seems to retain the atmosphere of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, peaceful and leisurely. The city is full of warblers singing and dancing, and the night is full of flutes, and the Huai River outside the city is surrounded, and the fishermen are fishing, and they are at ease. But if you ask ordinary people, it's a different way of saying.

Although there are many warriors here to protect the city and keep it peaceful, there is no lack of decline. The demon clan is rampant, and now it has threatened the outside of the city. The streets and alleys, even if they maintain the original stable and clean atmosphere, there is also a trace of uneasiness and panic.

It all goes back to the war eight years ago.

Until eight years ago, the Wunan Realm was dominated by the human race. Man will conquer the sky and become the most universal idea for all the people of Wunan. They wantonly captured and slaughtered demon beasts, and sold some precious demon beast furs and demon cores to obtain enough gold and silver treasures.

Before the demon race was enlightened, they were all lambs slaughtered and played with by the human race, and they were all victims of the human race to show their conceit and bravery. And the human race has never worried about the resistance of the demon race. And when the first demon beast that didn't know its name and didn't know its origin mistakenly drank the immortal wine of the human race on Jiuling Mountain, and opened its spiritual wisdom, it turned the whole Langlang around.

They understand the way of the cycle of life and death, and they don't want to go through the pain of ghosts. They no longer regard the massacre of the Terrans as an inevitable consequence of the hierarchy of superiority. They decided to start a rebellion and began to reject the control of the Terrans.

In that era, there was a group of masters who could possess the highest martial arts realm and awaken the martial soul to the peak state, and they were called soul masters. For a long time, in order to ensure the stability and prosperity of Wunan, the soul master has always maintained the tranquility of dozens of cities in the Wunan realm, and has fought with the demon clan again and again.

However, the demon clan with spiritual wisdom is no longer willing to surrender under thousands of years of oppression. They studied human martial arts, cultivated soul skills, and used their natural advantages to reach a realm that was difficult for ordinary humans to achieve.

Eight years ago, the human race and the demon race started a fight to the death. The intensity of the war was unprecedented. However, this time the situation has shattered the legend that man will conquer the sky. The Terrans suffered an unprecedented defeat. The city guarded by many soul masters fell apart, the people suffered heavy casualties, and for a time, the entire Wunan was full of white bones and corpses. The war lasted for more than three months, and in the end, the Terrans raised the white flag of defeat.

After the end of the Burning Sky War in the Wunan Realm, the strength of the human race declined. The victorious demon tribe established a capital in northern Libei and honored the demon emperor Kuihuo as the holy king. After that, the demon army went all the way south, approaching the Lingnan boundary. Now, the four major cities that can compete with the demon clan are gradually dividing, and they do not have the same ambition as they did back then.

One of the tribes that first came to the southern boundary of Fancheng has occupied Huicheng in the northwest of Fancheng.

If Fancheng is breached, there will really be no city in Lingnan that can resist the enemy, and the world of Wunan will become the world of the demon clan.

Disaster is coming, only a few uninteresting gentlemen are still playing and entertaining, they ignore state affairs, thinking that this place still retains the peace of eighteen years ago.

"Third child, do you guess how many steps this monster can walk with a boulder on its back?" The young man in the green robe sat on the stage, and after a while, he threw the fruit in his hand casually, and the subordinates behind him immediately stepped forward to pick it up in small steps, for fear of disturbing the children of other families.

"I see, at least a hundred and ten steps!" the third child waved his sleeves and said confidently.

"Heh," the boy in the green robe smiled disdainfully, he didn't expect the third child to overestimate the monster in front of him so much, "I think, no more than twenty steps!

After speaking, the green robe shook the copper coin on his waist and made a crisp sound.

"Bet on it, I've never been afraid of you! If you want me to say, if he takes twenty steps, all your hundred copper coins will belong to me." The third child has never doubted his vision, and of course, he still has a competitive and aggressive heart in his heart.

"It's a matter of saying it! If you lose, don't play tricks when the time comes!" said Qingpao pointing to the third child's nose.

The third child pushed his hand away: "I'm afraid that you will lose in the end!"

The two of them exchanged words, then each snorted, then turned his attention to the monster, carefully counting his steps.

The monster in the audience is not unusual. The face and body are no different from ordinary people, but they are slightly thicker. He had antlers on his head and some patterns on his arms, so he was taken to the beast arena as a monster for performance. A few months ago, his master died of illness, and the monster remained in the beast farm to be watched.

According to the rules of the beast field, as long as you are a rich child of a family, you can come here to watch, and you can ask the monster to do some acrobatic performances at will, and even take it home to do hard work for a few days.

Originally, the strange appearance and strange power of this monster attracted many sons of the family to spend money to watch, which added a lot of vitality to the beast field. The owner of the beast farm originally wanted to rely on this "treasure of the town" to gain a resounding reputation and win the eye-catching business of Fancheng.

But recently, the beast farm has received another strange treasure, the golden silk spirit magpie. The wings on the spirit magpie are woven like gold wire, which is very beautiful. At night, the whole body is shining, like a pearl of the night, and many sons of the family are very concerned about this stunner, so they gradually stop paying attention to the monster that is full of brute force.

"It's also strange to say, when did we ever have a strange beast like the Golden Silk Spirit Magpie in Fancheng?"

"I only heard that it was sold to the owner of the beast by a strange guest, and the price was not high, and his name was not reported. ”

The two subordinates in the back discussed, and the voice was quiet, and it did not attract the attention of others.

The two sons on the stage in front of him gave forty taels of silver not long ago, bought the monster, but also stored it in the beast field, and when they wanted to watch it every day, they came to the beast field to look for it.

And this monster is very peculiar. His limbs were muscular, and his bulging muscles were the size of a stone. The arms are like a thousand powers, and they can carry a ring with their strength.

At this moment, the monster is wrapped around the thick iron chain at the mouth of the bowl, and the other end of the chain is tied to a mountain stone transported from the South Mountain, and the monster drags the mountain stone and moves forward slowly.

That mountain stone, it is said, is a small mineral crystal found on the South Mountain back then.

The mineral crystal is the height of one person, and it is surrounded by two people, but when it was carried into Fancheng, it was crushed by five hearses, and some people estimated that this piece of mineral crystal, to say the least, was more than 30,000 catties.

I don't know what kind of treasure it is, and it has such weight. Later, the city lord sent someone to investigate, but he didn't find any clues, it was just an ordinary ironstone ore crystal, except for being heavier, there was nothing else special.

Although it was a little lost, he couldn't let a worthless stone be left in the mansion to be an eyesore, and the city lord ordered someone to dispose of it.

As a result, this boulder fell into the hands of these two curious children of the family. They didn't know what to do with it, the rocks were cumbersome and boring, and they lost interest after just a few days of viewing. However, since I got this beast monster, I have an idea.

They ordered the rocks to be transported to the beast farm, and the rocks became a tool for them to play with the monsters.

The eyes of the two were fixed on the monster in the audience who was used as a chess piece on the gambling board.

Although that monster has the power of ten thousand pounds, it is difficult to resist the pressure of this stone mountain. His feet were shackled, and every step he took was very difficult. It's just that there is one thing that is very peculiar, even if he has all his strength, his muscles are exposed, and every step of the beast field has stepped on a whitened mark, after a few steps, he did not sweat profusely, not even a trace of rapid gasping.

This monster never gets tired. It's as if physical strength is an endless abyss.

"Third child, I think this monster seems to have no strength, it will be difficult to move out of one step, and it won't fall down after two more steps, right?" said Qing Pao with a smile.

The third child was naturally not willing to be entertained by him like this, and immediately replied: "Are you blind with these eyes? Although this monster walks slowly, its physical strength is amazing, and it doesn't even take a breath when it takes ten steps, so it can be seen that it has enough stamina!"

After that, he asked the retainers in the audience to whip the monster a few times. Although the monster felt the pain and snorted a few times, it did not see the slightest scar on its body.

"What a thick-skinned brute!" the third child shouted, brushing up his sleeves and clapping his hands in praise.

"Eh, I said the third child, you are playing tricks! How can you ask someone to spur him? I'm afraid that if you don't have the strength, you will be asked to beat the strength out, this step doesn't count!" Qingpao was anxious and slapped his thigh. He couldn't afford to lose the copper coin on his waist to a guy who could cheat. What's more, the third child's character has never been reliable. How can you just just just forget it.

"How am I cheating? You didn't say you couldn't whip it. What's more, I'm asking people to fight this monster, not letting people help him carry him away, where is the meaning of cheating? It's you, if you don't count, you don't count, I think you really want to cheat!" Squinting at the monster under the stage, his steps seemed to have become more neat, thinking that he was taking advantage, he laughed secretly, gloatingly picked up a fruit on the table that exuded a faint sweet smell, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

The gamble with Qingpao has begun to be more than halfway through, the monster's strength has also been spent, and he has no cheating behavior, how can he call himself a cheat?

"You!" Qingpao retorted wordlessly for a while, staring at the third child with round eyes. A whip on the horse's tail was still able to urge the horse's legs to work harder, but the third child's mouth was full of crooked reasoning, as if he had no fault and was completely innocent. Qingpao's mind tumbled for a while, trying to find a reason to refute.

The two were about to argue, but just as they were squeezing their eyebrows, a man's clear voice suddenly came from behind:

"Since you have this interest, I don't know if the two sons are willing to gamble with me?"
