Chapter 1317: A Hundred Ghosts Walk at Night
Whining!
Desolate as the Gobi, there are ruins like the end of the world, flying sand and stones, mixed with bursts of weeping whimpering, white bone remains everywhere, billowing black clouds of smoke, making people feel like falling into hell.
Looking from afar, ordinary people can't see the end at a glance, but there are traces of dozens of miles of towns, showing the prosperity of the past, but they are like ghosts, and they can't even see a mouse.
After the outbreak of the Demon Tribulation, the Eastern Song Dynasty Demon Rebellion was the most serious, and it was also the earliest outbreak in Youzhou, and almost ninety percent of the whole state turned into a demon domain, and only a few places still had resistance left.
As early as many years ago, most of Youzhou fell into the hands of the Northern Jin barbarians, and the human race was slaughtered, demoted to slaves, and their status was not even as good as livestock, and even in wartime, they would be reduced to rations, and there were countless casualties.
As far as the human race is concerned, although the demon tribulation is more terrifying, seeing that the barbarians are also slaughtered by those demons who rushed out of the ground, there is not much power to resist, and among the ordinary people who have been devastated, there are even many who have turned against each other.
Even, even if someone is rescued occasionally, they will not be grateful, but there have been many times when they were betrayed by the Terrans who took refuge in the demons!
Of course, it is not excluded that some of the weak and desperate people will be bewitched, after all, the demons have a lot of strange methods, and it is nothing to show a little 'miracle' to capture people's hearts.
The population base of the human race is too large, and there are always some people who eat inside and out, are selfish and undetermined.
Among this part of the people, there are also people with extraordinary talents, and after becoming a demon deterrent, they will become the vanguard of the demon clan wreaking havoc in Shenzhou, scouts and other minions, and there are also many low-level people who are interested in the demon clan, forming a lot of power.
"Lunatic Cult!"
Wu Ming wandered silently in the rubble, his eyes flickering, "Black Dragon, Silver Star, Weeping Blood, Multi-eyed, Painted Bone!"
The five major cult organizations are the five halls under the command of the Moon Worship Sect, others don't know, but he already knows from the inheritance of the Three Holy Nirvana from the Inner Demon that these are the five royal families of the Demon Star Heavenly Abyss!
And the moon represents the first demon race in the demon race, known as the purple moon, which is well-deserved in the demon race, and it is also the most noble and powerful race!
In addition to these six major ethnic groups, there are also subordinate ethnic groups such as Gong, Hou, Bo, and Zi, with strict power hierarchies.
Compared with the human race, there are many temples, although the demon race has the strongest clan, the Purple Moon Demon Clan, but it never cares about things, only enjoys the worship of all races, and no one dares to rebel against it, and the forces of all parties in Shenzhou are really too mixed.
The human heart is unpredictable, especially the Wisdom people!
The strength of the demon race itself far surpasses that of Shenzhou, if it weren't for natural limitations and various coincidences, and even the ancestors were not afraid of death, Shenzhou would have fallen a long time ago!
And Youzhou is the territory of the Black Dragon Society!
As the strongest race in the Demon Star Abyss other than the Purple Moon Demon Clan, the Black Dragon Society has a very high voice in the military operations of the Demon Realm to invade the major outer regions, and the resources it occupies are also the best.
Of course, you still have to pay tribute to the Purple Moon Demon Clan!
"Huh?"
Wu Ming raised his eyebrows, his figure flashed slightly, and he completely blended into the shadow in the corner of the wall.
Rustling!
In a short time, a group of six men and women carefully walked through the ruins.
It can be seen that these people are very careful, there is a treasure light flickering around them, and sometimes there is a flash of demonic smoke, but it does not touch their bodies at all, but disperses on their own, and will not reunite until it has passed.
If it weren't for Wu Ming's amazing divine sense, he wouldn't have been able to discover it at all.
Moreover, according to his observations, these talismans not only have the ability to isolate demonic energy, but also evade powerful perception and divine sense detection, and are especially restrained from many of the demonic abilities.
"One Great Grandmaster, five Grandmasters, it should be regarded as an elite team of scavengers on the Youzhou Territory!"
Wu Ming silently observed and quickly made a judgment.
The so-called scavengers are a group of warriors or powerhouses of various races who want money and don't want their lives, pin their heads to their belts, and risk their lives to break into demonic Jedi such as Youzhou to find opportunities.
Of course, they prefer to be called demon hunters, but real demon hunters don't look down on this kind of people at all.
A true demon hunter is a kind of existence that accepts the demon hunting orders issued by various clans in the temples to hunt demons for military merits and exchange for treasures!
Compared with the former, this is the real knife head licking blood, and the former is never willing to fight with the demons unless it is a last resort!
But no matter what, the danger also exists, because in a region like Youzhou, where almost all of them have fallen, there are real demon powerhouses who can leave the demon cave and run rampant on the ground.
Not to mention, there are hundreds of millions of demon corpses wandering around.
The demon corpse is nothing, at most it is copper skin and iron bones, comparable to the artistic conception of the martial artist, but if it is really a life-and-death fight, as long as it is not stupid to the point of home, a few more eyes, even if it can't kill the demon corpse, it will not be life-threatening.
But if you are surrounded by several, there is no possibility of escape without special means.
If there are hundreds, they can form demonic clouds, and even innate martial artists can't escape, because under the demonic clouds, they can't fly at all.
Therefore, it seems that this kind of pioneer team led by a great grandmaster and the members of the team are all grandmasters, which is already quite extraordinary.
"There are some means!"
Wu Ming observed that this group of pioneers had an extremely clear goal, and went straight to a street in the city, and the divine sense quietly took the lead in covering that place, and found several undamaged formation fluctuations hidden inside.
Although there were early signs of the demon catastrophe, Youzhou bore the brunt, and under the chaos, the city was almost wiped out, and many things could not be taken away, so naturally a lot of treasures would be left.
Looking at the architectural remnants of that street, it is not difficult to find that it was once a prosperous commercial street in the city.
To be able to build a trading house of such a scale in a big city, and in such a valuable area, the power and background are obviously extraordinary, and if there are hidden treasures in it, even a great grandmaster will be tempted.
In fact, in this situation, a certain industrial chain has already been formed for a period of time after the outbreak of the demonic chaos, until now.
There are quite a few casual cultivators who have gathered into a team to specifically target such a place, risking their lives to get treasures.
If you're lucky, you'll get the chance, but if you're unlucky, you'll be wiped out!
But there is another situation, that is, there is a great background, the big forces that can insert the business industry into other realms, do not want their own descendants to be damaged, so they will outsource the action of recovering the losses to a team of capable waste pickers.
Of course, it also includes those sects that were originally here, after they couldn't resist the attack of the demons, the living forces retreated, but the property under their name could not be taken away in time.
In this way, after signing a certain contract or having a secret notarization in the temples, they will provide the detailed address of their property and the method of opening the prohibition for the scavenging team to retrieve the treasure.
These are all kinds of basic common sense after the demon tribulation that Wu Ming has learned in recent months!
Looking at the current situation, most of this scavenging team belongs to the latter, of course, it is not excluded that some betrayed the sect or only had two or three cats left, and they were alone and could not get back the inheritance of the sect, and invited foreign aid.
Sou!
Occasionally, there were lonely demon corpses wandering around the city, roaring and running around, but chasing the demonized wild dogs and wild cats, and they didn't notice the existence of these people at all.
"It's been three years since I came to get the inheritance, and with the help of external forces, is it the mission that a lucky person has issued in the temples after escaping the catastrophe, or is it the growth of his own strength, and he is in the team?"
Wu Ming was not interested in the goals of these people, with his current strength, cultivation, and vision, unless it was an extremely special and precious treasure, at least the level of Dao Treasure could arouse his interest.
But he has been patrolling around the Youzhou territory for five or six days, even with his temperament, it is a bit boring, and it is good to have such a thing to adjust!
Moreover, I had seen the scavenger team a few times before, but nothing special had happened, let alone any contact with it.
When he saw one of them, a twenty-year-old woman with a pretty good appearance, skillfully using a special treasure to cast a secret art seal and open one of the prohibitions with formation fluctuations, Wu Ming also confirmed.
This is the lucky one left by a certain force, as for whether it is the overseer sent by that force, but seeing that she handed over most of the treasures inside to the great grandmaster powerhouse, and she only took a special treasure inside, it is enough to be sure!
With the harvest, several team members were also quite happy, although it did not dilute the desolation and coldness of this place, but in the end it was a pleasant thing.
Of course, this is only half done, and only when you leave alive and realize or transform the treasure into strength can you be considered truly successful!
It's just that except for Wu Ming, a bystander, and another team hidden on the side, no one saw that a middle-aged grandmaster martial artist in that team suddenly turned dark green with his hands turned dark green, and slapped his palm on the back of the captain's heart.
"You ......"
This captain is a strong grandmaster, his cultivation is not bad, and the true yuan is solid enough, he actually resisted the poisonous erosion, but he didn't expect the other party to sneak attack, and he was really injured, and his combat power was greatly reduced.
So, a bloody murder and treasure grabbing began!
Another team came out of the darkness and surrounded the pioneer team, the leader of which was also a great grandmaster, but one of the young men was obviously familiar with the woman in the former's team.
Wu Ming expected it right, these two people are both survivors of a one-level sect, the difference is that the woman is the true inheritance, and the young man is not the inner door, and he is far from being able to touch the core secrets of the sect, so he can only seize it in this way.
This kind of thing is too common in the land of demonic chaos, it happens almost every day, and Wu Ming doesn't have the heart to care about it at all, even if these people will play ** next!
After a fierce quarrel, it turned into mutual scolding, the former did not compromise and chose to break through, but was easily surrounded by the latter.
But before they could successfully capture the target, everyone stopped and looked at the sky in shock.
In the west, the sunset that was supposed to be the sun did not appear, and under the dark demonic clouds, as if the Yin soldiers were crossing the border, the shadow of the Dao Dao appeared, spreading to the city.
"It's finally here, it's not in vain that I've been looking for so long!"
Compared to the panic of the two teams, Wu was obviously extremely calm, his eyes were full of curiosity and inquiry, "Hundred ghosts walk at night!"
