71.……

Chapter 72 is worthy of the magic capital

Wrong?

Du Ling blinked, tilted his head and looked more intently, but he looked left and right, and he didn't see anything wrong.

Even after staring at it for a long time, there was a trace of nostalgia: the battle scene on the seawall was very similar to the previous life, when the aliens teamed up to fight against mutant beasts, although the human side did not have too cool water, fire and lightning, but fortunately, the combat power of the sea monsters was also very sorry for the terrifying appearance, and the scum was extreme.

This kind of scum is also beaten so carefully, can the power awakened people below do it? You can't replace me, that's not how the ability works—

Well?

Abilities??

A nerve was touched in his mind, paralyzed by the inherent concept of [Monster Attack on the City].

Then Du Ling, who often lacked the consciousness of a cultivator, finally came to his senses, and then slapped himself into the mouth: he should first cover his eyes with spiritual energy, and then see what the "situation" was!

Just staring at a pair of mortal fetuses, can he see a ghost with the naked eye?!

It's not Xiao Li's kind of born with a pair of spiritual eyes that pass through the sky, and it comes with a bug of #However, the Emperor of Heaven has seen through a qiē# effect......

Isn't it stupid.

Du Ling's face was hot, and he was embarrassed, and he couldn't wait to find a cloud crack to get into. He shrunk his neck and didn't dare to look at Xiao Li's expression, and he recited the mantra in a sneering manner, adding a spiritual vision technique to himself.

Bow your head again, and the world will never be the same:

It is not surprising that those monsters that are rolling and trying to climb the high wall are indeed surrounded by black qi, and their bodies are full of demonic energy.

Du Ling's eyes widened and his fists clenched, shocked that the short nails embedded in the flesh of his palms were also surrounded by black qi among the human warriors fighting the monsters, and their demonic journeys were even deeper than those sea monsters.

But they are not monsters, nor are they monsters that have no sanity at all after being demonized, and only have only devouring desires, they should still be human.

Or rather, the first glimpse of the door...... Human Demon Cultivator.

"This ...... But how is this possible? Duling's dry voice was full of disbelief, eager to reject this terrible truth.

And what's even more terrifying is:

These humans have obviously been invaded by demonic energy, but they don't seem to be abnormal at all: they all look healthy on the outside, their complexions are ruddy, they are full of spirit, and their minds are very clear (although they are somewhat arrogant and arrogant because of their strength), not to mention the slightest tendency to become crazy and violent, and they can organize others as leaders to work together to kill monsters.

But Du Ling couldn't lie to himself that it was just dazzling, in fact, he had some kind of black fog fly disease, because the strangeness of these people was indeed different from ordinary people. At least an ordinary man in the prime of life would not be able to move those giant crossbows with his bare hands, or kick the giant sea monster tentacles off a high wall with one kick.

This reminded Du Ling of the so-called power abilities he had obtained in his previous life.

Xiao Li once speculated that the aura was too active in the last days, which stimulated the spiritual roots of some human beings with the potential to cultivate the truth, forming the so-called abnormal ability, which is actually an unconscious cultivation - including directly swallowing the Dan Yuan to absorb the demon beast, which is actually a common method used by ancient monks, but ......

He held his breath, his overactive brain cells for rich associations, his eyes fixed on the developments below for a moment.

The combat power of the hideous-looking sea beasts is not as terrifying as they appear, they seem to be some low-level mollusks that have been mutated after being invaded by demonic energy, although they have devoured a large number of their own kind and become gigantic, but they essentially lack sufficient combat power. They blindly rammed into the concrete walls that blocked their path, not knowing how to dodge the artillery and the flying steel fork whale spears.

Fortunately, they have not had time to evolve the rudimentary brains of logical thinking, and they still barely retain the judgment function of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

Therefore, after leaving a large number of corpses to completely block the narrow section of the sea, the remaining "live" monsters began to retreat with the tide, and some of them were reluctant to devour the corpses of their companions, and naturally ended up becoming more trophies for humans.

Talking about loot is by no means a false record.

The rancid tide of the monsters receded, but under Du Ling's suspicious gaze, the victorious humans did not rush to celebrate, but instead took up their gas masks and tied up the climbing ropes, and jumped off the high wall in full gear...... Split up the corpse of a monster?!

As soon as the corrosion-resistant special steel knife opened the blue-gray leather shell, a large amount of thick crude oil-like black mucus immediately gushed out, and Du Ling's stomach twitched, and he couldn't even use the strength to complain, "Are they already short of food to this extent?"

And he already knew what these people were doing.

Exactly like in the previous life, what these people are doing is hunting mutant beasts and then searching for crystal nuclei.

Then it is only natural that they have more or less condensed demonic energy in their bodies, because these ugly black crystals are obviously not collected for the purpose of inlaying jewels, but for practical "use".

In the last days of the day and night, things that can increase strength are dangerous and everyone is willing to try.

In the previous life, after some people killed demon beasts, they found that they really had crystal nuclei in their bodies like the "predictions" of the apocalyptic novels, so they ate them according to the gourd and tried it, and as a result, their "ability" increased, and finally became the secret of upgrading known to everyone on the earth.

Why wouldn't people in this life develop into hunting monsters and then ...... What about devouring the Crystal?

Although the Demon Qi Crystallization and the Demon Pill were fundamentally different, their surface forms were so similar that Du Ling felt a hint of the irony of fate.

He couldn't bear to look down on a lot of loot from below, and even looked away from the crowd of people who were arguing over the crystallization of demonic energy.

Sometimes knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing.

The only thing he felt fortunate about now was that in his previous life, as a black market merchant who did not lack crystal nuclei, he had always been a supporter of the meditation absorption sect because of his life and fear of cutting his throat, and he had never done anything to swallow directly.

It's not that there will be any psychological obstacles after knowing that the crystal nucleus is actually a demon pill, but what he saw in front of him confirmed what he had always guessed: that is, the crystalline body condensed by the demonized creature itself, and it really condensed a large amount of demonic energy, and if you eat too much and don't pay attention to the construction of spiritual civilization, a good person will also fall into the demon.

Ordinary creatures polluted by demonic qi are still like this, and the demon pills produced by those demonic and crazy demon beasts are probably not much cleaner.

Although Xiao Li has always praised himself for his pure mind, Du Ling's own family knows his own affairs, and he is just a little otaku who can't resist temptation and has low willpower......

Tut.

God knows if there is a soul that is complete enough to be reborn, and at the time of the first encounter, the Heavenly Emperor was greatly judged and raised as a harmless little demon bag.

Du Ling didn't ask Xiao Li, what would you do if I was haunted by demonic qi when we met for the first time.

He wasn't so pretentious, and he knew that there wouldn't be an answer other than the Demon Guardian Dao, who didn't know each other well at the time.

Just think about it, it's very scary.

Seeing that there are still people who have unconsciously embarked on this old road in this life, Du Ling is even more complicated.

He died early in his previous life, so he didn't have the opportunity to see the future of those top-level supernatural beings who went berserk and self-destructed, but now he has witnessed it with his own eyes, and it has been confirmed from the side that the human beings who were aiming for last week are actually committing suicide slowly, and every time they think they win, they are actually sliding further into the abyss of destruction.

But isn't this the "zombie flow apocalypse" that makes human beings demonize and mutate, why is the painting style of the magic capital so traversal?

Obviously, the monsters in the sea as enemies are particularly weak, but humans still do a great death.

The problem is always like this, once the first one is found, the next thing will pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and a big mass will stir up people's brains.

At this time, Du Ling was especially grateful to the Emperor of Heaven who had insight around him.

He only needs to be responsible for asking, and the life of not forcing him to play with IQ is called chic, in case Xiao Li can't answer, then the two of them can discuss it together.

This time, Xiao Li also lived up to expectations, and he first explained the answer about the strength of the sea beast in an orderly manner.

To put it bluntly, it's very simple, that is, the starting point is too low. They are not like those demon beasts in Du Ling's previous life, who have unconsciously embarked on the path of cultivation, these gigantic sea monsters are just instinctively devouring-storing negative energy, and then being affected by the demonic energy that cannot be completely condensed and overflowing, and increasing their huge size.

Although they are full of a lot of demonic energy, they don't use it, and those magic crystals that humans regard as treasures are like poorly digested stones to sea monsters.

It didn't quickly turn into a demonic energy devourer like humans, and it was also because the brains of these sea creatures were too primitive, so simple that they didn't produce souls and couldn't breed the dark side, so they were able to preserve their biological characteristics when the body mutated.

But why did the situation develop into the way it is now, and it is very strange for soulless creatures to be infected by demonic energy...... Could it be that Mo Weitian also specially made a special demon seed that can infect different species?

However, according to Hu Guodao's theory, it is impossible to create such an ignorant and unconscious low-level cyst if he becomes a spirit or a demon.

Xiao Li was halfway through the analysis, and pondered again.

Then another foul sea breeze blew, and Du Ling took a big sip without paying attention, almost throwing up.

After the group of people harvested the crystal nucleus, they actually patted their butts and left, leaving the rotting corpses that quickly festered and smelled to the heavens to be dealt with by nature?

it, a human being!

He touched his chest with one hand and covered his nose with the other, and his expression was very indescribably pleading: "It stinks!" Let's find a sheltered place to rest our feet first, and then think about whether it will work!? ”

Absolutely.

The Heavenly Emperor agreed very happily to such a trivial matter, and deliberately contributed his chest to let Du Ling bury his face, and used the fresh breath of the high-level monk's body that was automatically cleaned by the aura to save someone's respiratory tract that was about to be scrapped.

It's a little selfish to fly with a Taoist companion to enjoy the world of two, but if the environmental conditions are too bad and the mood is bad, it will be completely worth the loss.

In the intense work of saving the world, Xiao Li, who occasionally reads "How to Cultivate Feelings with Your Partner" specially found by Zhang Jing to relax, and begins to practice the primary strategy in combination with his own conditions, hugged the Taoist couple, and Edgeworth flew towards the center of the high-rise building.

He didn't know that someone was talking crookedly in his head that he was a natural black.

I don't know how the blackened apprentice who was served by a disciple who was miserable by his disciples dug up the long-cherished spit book "Quick Pickle Girl Wins in Three Days" from his favorites, and then replaced the noun and copied it indiscriminately to go on the market.

Zi said: Disconnecting the Internet is to build a moat between people and the truth.

The ancients did not deceive me.

******

Although also covered in fog and poor visibility, the city centre at least tastes much better than the water's edge, allowing people to speak normally without holding their breath.

So as soon as his feet landed, Du Ling breathed a long sigh of relief, he never could drive the aura as naturally as Xiao Li's breathing, and he wanted to make a protective shield for himself alone and filter out the harmful gases, which was almost suffocated in the middle of the road.

"Are you alright?"

Xiao Li felt that a little stubbornness like him was also very cute, and it was always a good thing to practice using spells, practice makes perfect, so he didn't stop Du Ling. However, seeing that he was patting his chest and sticking out his tongue, he looked distressed with a serious sin, and hurriedly helped him straighten out his breath.

"Uh-huh—it's okay, it's okay, I'm okay!"

The feeling of pure aura winding down the vertebrae was too pleasant, and Du Ling tried very hard to hold the moan in his throat, and then jumped away from Xiao Li's hand like an electric shock.

Although he seems to be a little nervous to hide so quickly, it is better to have a convulsion than to make a sound directly.

I don't know why a good pillar of the righteous path is crooked, and suddenly becomes so flirtatious (。

Du Ling didn't know whether he was disgusted or reminisced, and then ordered himself to hurry up and do business.

He looked around and pulled out a portable air quality monitor from the space.

The size of the suitcase, the dual energy of electricity / spirit, one of the achievements of Da Zhuang to eat and sleep every day to make Tibetan sauce.

In addition to PM10/PM5/PM2.5, it is also possible to measure the concentration of new pollution sources such as magic seed particles in the atmosphere.

After pouring the absolutely zero polluted spiritual spring into it as a reagent, I waited for a while, and the yellow light turned on.

Du Ling looked at the value and came to the conclusion with a strange expression: "The concentration of demon seeds is a little higher than that of the suburbs of Mozhou, if we hadn't set up a formation at the beginning, the situation on both sides should be similar." ”

But even outside the protective ring, there were no demonic creatures similar to sea monsters.

So after the apocalyptic earthquake that tore the world apart, what did the city go through to get to where it is now?

The answer to this question requires the great detective Dulingmoth and his assistant Xiao Sheng to appear to find it.

A metropolis with a population of more than 10 million people like Modu has an advantage, that is, people are relatively unfamiliar with each other, and no one will deliberately check and talk when they meet a new face, and most people who are in a hurry will choose to turn a blind eye even if they notice. This gave Xiao Li and Du Ling, two newcomers, an excellent opportunity to disguise themselves as ordinary citizens and blend in with the flow of people to find out the truth.

Observation and scanning, they don't have to ask, they know where to get clues.

The magical big devil has a magical place called People's Square, and there is an even more magical corner of People's Square, which used to be a special stronghold of some ghostly NGO that hovered in the hearts of older unmarried men and women.

Even in the last days, the blind date corner is still overcrowded, and there are big-character posters selling melons all over the place.

However, now that the times have changed, everyone is no longer recruiting for marriage, but instead recruiting teammates to form a team, or recruiting workers and farmers to open up the wasteland together. Of course, there are also renters, exchanging materials, and high-priced luxury goods, and there are even those who make appointments and open altars to accept disciples to promote XX teaching.

Oh, the last one was quickly taken away by the anti-riot armed police who were blowing the whistle and carrying the gun.

It seems to be very stable and prosperous, and it is even more energetic than the Mozhou base camp that Du Ling is very proud of.

Probably because people in big cities have seen a lot of big scenes and are adaptable.

Du Ling comforted himself first, but he was not a person who was stubborn and could not admit his own shortcomings, so he began to observe with the eyes of learning after walking around for a while.

He didn't know if this was deliberately promoted by the current rulers of the Demon Capital, or if it was a spontaneous act of the people, but such a form of free exchange and cooperation was very worthy of reference, at least compared to Mozhou's current relying on the above to arrange tasks and coaxing everyone to be reluctant to do the same thing.

I was thinking about how to □□ less dead people and not demonize, but I didn't think about the application of the cause, so that ordinary people could show their strengths under the new conditions.

Obviously, he used to complain about the one-size-fits-all policy.

Thanks to the fact that there are few villains in Mozhou, if he was allowed to manage a big city of this level in the Demon Capital at the beginning, it is estimated that he will be surrounded by mountains and make trouble. Du Ling laughed self-deprecatingly, and at the same time told Xiao Li these experiences, in exchange for a gentle and soothing touch of his head.

"It's not too late to liberalize the policy, the timing is just right."

Xiao Li didn't say this to comfort Du Ling perfunctorily, he looked at the lively and orderly crowd around him and felt that this was quite good, but it was a pity that there were always some people with black qi lingering on their bodies, and they had already been invaded by demonic qi, and there were already signs of self-reliance on their superior strength.

Therefore, what they are doing in Mozhou is not wrong, they must first ensure the safety of mortals before considering the issue of development.

"Their enthusiasm to fight monsters and even the prosperity here is based on the thirst for magic crystals, and there are great hidden dangers. We don't need to encourage mortals to fight monsters, but it's necessary to gradually open up the management and let them choose their own work content and partners. ”

Xiao Li said a lot of words very rarely, and his attitude was as sincere and serious as ever, but Du Ling, who was still worried and felt that he had delayed the development of Mozhou people, didn't know what to do, so he burst out laughing.

“?” What's wrong with that?

used to have a fairy sculpture face, but now you can also use the changes in the corners of your eyebrows and eyes to vividly express your own dazed innocence.

“…… It's nothing, I just think that the content of the conversation between the two of us, poof, especially □□ the style of the old cadres in the meeting, is not like two handsome young handsome holding hands and pressing the road, and one person should hold a large enamel tea pot, poof-"

accidentally split his brain, and it turned out that Du Ling, who had eaten laughing beans, was not happy enough, and his strength was deduced by the three-dimensional 23333, but he laughed so hard that he couldn't say anything, and he didn't forget to put gold on his face.

One of the handsome young handsome who was crazy on the street was very helpless, and he couldn't get any laugh at all, and at the same time, he had no way to take Du Ling's increasingly unpredictable feelings - if it was a sad and irritable situation, it would be okay, it was impossible to find a Taoist couple laughing so happily, and he had to recite a clear heart mantra to suppress it.

I had to maintain a calm iceberg face and try to find a new topic to divert my attention.

His eyes swept over the crowd of people in the corner of the people, Xiao Li's eyes lit up, and he found a good target, pointing it out to Du Ling, who was still enjoying himself:

"It's not just mortals who participate in the exchange here, but also youkai."

“…… Where, where? He couldn't stop giggling, and finally Du Ling, who was a little tired from laughing, gasped and looked up.

As a result, following Xiao Li's slender and good-looking fingers, he actually caught a face that was very familiar to him.

The "man" was thin and small, with short hair, a dirty face and tattered body, looking very depressed, and with an old newspaper spread out in front of him, it didn't look like looking for teammates, but like begging.

Therefore, people who come and go avoid him like the plague, after all, it is the end of the world when resources are scarce, and next year's food is not known whether it will be planted or not, and people have no extra sympathy to squander on weak strangers.

But Du Ling recognized the face.

But the owner of this face before was much more glamorous and beautiful than it is now, and at that time he—it—she sang a song on the starry stage, and told the fairy audience about a beautiful love in a beautiful voice, and earned tears of tears.

This is clearly the strength contestant of the Huaxia goblin selling the miserable king, the idol giant nursery installed by the pheasant spirit, the little mermaid.

At the same time that Du Ling was looking directly at each other, the unlucky water goblin also happened to turn his gaze and look in their direction.

In an instant, his face changed greatly, and he jumped up and ran.

Whether it is as a follower of the great demon Qi Fengyu who has lost power, or as a sea clan spirit, she does have a reason why she can't see people.

Seeing the thin figure burrow into the crowd in the blink of an eye, I desperately wanted to
