Chapter Seventy-Four: The Cause of Turmoil
Wuyou had only passed by the edge of the Mangdang Mountains before, but it was clear that there were no big towns within a hundred miles of here. Even the nearby hunters would not easily set foot in this land full of demons. But now, the sudden appearance of nearly 1,000 people here has to be strange.
Hearing Wuyou's inquiry, the child's father sighed, his face showing grief and indignation: "We were originally the people of Nanyi County, a hundred miles away from here, but we were forced to flee here because a large number of demon beasts poured into the county seat a few days ago. ”
"Demon beasts pouring into the county? Then why didn't you run away from a crowded place, why did you come here? Maiyo became more and more curious.
The man shook his head, his face full of wry smiles: "Naturally, we fled to the west where there were many people first, but as soon as we walked out of the city gate, there were no large number of demon beasts to stop us. There were originally nearly 10,000 people in the county, and we were the only ones who were able to escape and walk here. ”
Wu You scratched his head and turned to look at Qin Yijian with an inquiring look on his face. Qin Yijian frowned slightly, and looked at the man who spoke: "This big brother, it's also not safe here, as far as I can see, you should go south as soon as possible." ”
"To the south? Aren't there more monsters out there? The man looked worried.
Qin Yijian smiled and shook his head: "You can rest assured, there are no demon beasts in the Mangdang Mountains now, and they will not return in a short time, which is enough for you to find a place to settle down in the south." ”
"So, well!" The man said yes and turned to mobilize the rest of the people. Everyone had no way out, and when they heard someone pointing the way, there was not much resistance. Then the group walked out of the canyon and headed south.
Wu Youmu sent them away, and looked back at Xing Qin Yijian: "Demon beasts are demon spirits!" How could they suddenly attack the people? Is the South really safe? ”
"Demon beast is the name given to demon spirits by ordinary people, but for monks, it generally refers to those fierce beasts that have not yet had spiritual intelligence. Their sudden chaos this time may be inseparable from the treasures that appeared before. As for the south, there is a Wanfeng Valley dozens of miles away, and there is a Wanfeng Gate in it, although there are not many disciples, but there is a master of the human immortal realm. If these people can find refuge, they will be safe. ”
"So what do we do?"
Qin Yijian's face was straight: "Go to the front and take a look!" ”
Now that Qin Yijian had decided, Wu You naturally would not object, and then the two of them stepped on the flying shuttle and galloped forward. Along the way, the corpses of the people were on both sides of the road, and there were also some beast corpses, which showed how difficult the people were to go this way.
The speed of the shuttle is fast, and the distance of more than 100 miles is instantaneous. Coming to a short distance outside the county seat of Nanyi, Wu You collected the shuttle and followed Qin Yijian into the city together. In the county seat, there have been no people for a long time, but there are a few fierce beasts still wandering around leisurely, and it seems that they have regarded this place as their home.
Seeing the two of them enter the city, the beast's gaze was instantly attracted, and it let out a few roars and rushed over. These are just ordinary lions and tigers, and the two of them didn't pay attention to it at all, and they had already solved it with a few spells.
The two of them continued on their way, looking for the target they wanted, which was the demon spirit. Whether the demon spirit is strong or not, it has a common characteristic, that is, it has opened the spiritual intelligence. Only with such an existence can the cause of the sudden riot of the demon beast be found.
The movement of the two of them killing the beast was not small, and it really alarmed a demon spirit, which was an ape that had already transformed into a human body, but its body was still wrapped in golden hair. Upon seeing the two of them coming, the ape let out an angry roar and then turned and ran.
It is just a small Jin Dan, and he thinks that he is not Qin Yijian's opponent, and for demon spirits, survival is the first priority, so naturally he will not run up stupidly to die.
Hearing the roar, Wuyou thought it was going to step forward and fight hard, but at this time he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it fleeing. Qin Yijian reacted quickly, his figure flashed quickly, and he quickly chased after the ape, reaching out to grab its arm. Seeing that he couldn't escape, the ape let out a roar, and his claws grabbed Qin Yijian's chest like blades.
As soon as Qin Yijian's arm was retracted, his movements were like lightning, and he instantly choked the ape's wrists tightly. With a hard blow, with a snap, the ape's wrists snapped together.
The ape let out a hiss, his eyes immediately turned blood-red, and he no longer cared about his arms, he lowered his head sharply and bit down on Qin Yijian's neck. Qin Yijian frowned slightly, shook his arm hard, and threw the ape out directly.
The ape flew more than ten meters and slammed into the stone wall on one side. The injury was not light, and the ape struggled for a long time on the ground, but he no longer had the strength to stand up. Qin Yijian walked up to the ape, raised his foot and kicked lightly, and asked in a cold voice, "Do you want to live?" ”
"Yes!" The ape did not hesitate at all.
Qin Yijian nodded: "Tell me what you know, and I can spare your life." ”
The ape's eyes flashed: "What do you want to know?" ”
"Why did you attack humans, and where did those powerful spirits go?"
"This ・・・・・・"
The ape hesitated for a moment, as if thinking about how to respond, but seeing Qin Yijian's face getting colder, he hurriedly said: "Some time ago, the heaven-shaking roar sent out a signal of the birth of a treasure, so all the demon spirits gathered away. In normal times, no matter who the treasure falls into, everyone will stop in a few days. This is a rule made by everyone in order to maintain the strength of the Mangdang Mountains.
But this time it was born a treasure tripod, which was far more precious than before, which made those great powers of the Mangdang Mountains frantically compete, and the rules were disrupted. That's it, the most important point is that this treasure tripod actually fell into the hands of human monks in the end.
This made the demon powers very angry, so they regarded the human monk as a common enemy, and vowed to take back the treasure. But just as everyone was about to join forces to snatch it, the human monk disappeared. The demon clan was furious, so he ordered the demon beasts to go out and constantly attack the places where humans lived, wanting to force the other party to hand over the treasure. ”
Wu You had already come to Qin Yijian's side, and when he heard the ape's words, he sighed helplessly. These demons are right, but unfortunately they don't know about human beings, and in the face of greed and selfishness, there are a few people who care about the lives and deaths of innocent people.
Looking up at Qin Yijian, Wu You asked in a low voice, "What should we do?" ”
Qin Yijian frowned and thought for a moment, and a trace of determination flashed on his face: "We can't sit idly by and let the people suffer, this is against the original intention of our monks.
Let's go find the person who took the treasure first, and see if we can persuade him to take the initiative to hand over the treasure! If not, then we will unite the efforts of all to get rid of this scourge. A person who suffers innocent people with his own selfish interests is not worthy of being called a monk! ”
