Chapter 143: Tambuya Caught in the Mouth of the Demon
With great effort, Tambuya finally drove the half-demons out of the city—if it weren't for Zhang Qing, they would have even killed them.
But six months later, they brought in a half-demon again.
For what?
For his own life, of course.
The Guardian, the giant that Zhang Qing saw, had many advantages.
They don't have much intelligence, just slightly better than the beasts.
Obedient, powerful, even if it is a head-to-head confrontation with demons, it has a solid advantage.
Moreover, these guardians also have the ability to perceive demonic energy, and can detect hidden demons in the crowd.
The only downside is probably that these guardians lack emotions and are indifferent, although they can sense the demonic energy, they need to be a little different from the spontaneous instinctive perception of the half-demons.
At the same time, the range of perception is also a little less.
In the past, half-demons could clearly perceive the demonic activities of about half of the city, while these guardians could only perceive the range of one block.
The most important thing is that the guardians can only detect the demons after they appear, while the half-demons can detect them before they become demons.
The difference between the two seems to be small, but in fact, they are very different.
Zhang Qing got this information from the crowd, and he knew this very well in his heart.
One is going to happen, and one is already happening.
The Half-Demon will deal with the demon before it kills, but the guardians will not find out until the demon has killed, resulting in many casualties.
The so-called good fighters have no great achievements, and this is what they mean.
Zhang Qing knew from some people that in the past six months, the previous two months had been peaceful, not much different from when the half-demons were still there, and even people felt better about themselves.
However, with the first demon incident, the Guardian quickly arrived at the scene to kill him, and people seemed to notice that something was wrong, but there was still a warm call for the Guardian's mobility.
In the following period, the demon kills people from time to time, and there will always be one or more of them at intervals of half a month and twenty days, although the guardians soon came to kill the demon, but the resulting panic began to spread in people's hearts.
It's just that at this time, they still have a fluke mentality, and people have begun to secretly and privately say that these demons are actually made by those half-demons, in order to take revenge on the people in the city.
Under such rumors, the people united again, and some even wanted to gather a large army to annihilate the half-demons.
But this was all suppressed by the city lord, because there was still such a terrifying enemy as Zhang Qing there, and the props that suppressed the demon power did not work at all, making people have to think that this was a demon king!
But why it's a man, it's hard to understand.
However, since he is the king of demons, it is difficult to rely on the guardians to fight against them without half-demons, so he can only shrink back and defend.
At this time, the city lord actually hoped that his subordinates could have another batch of half-demons that could be consumed to fight against the terrifying demon king.
But it seems that the heavens are beginning to punish the city of Tambua.
When the fourth month arrived, there were more and more demon killings in the city, and these guys seemed to have begun to have a certain amount of wisdom, knowing that hiding could even forcibly restrain their demonic energy, making it difficult for the guardians to find their traces again.
More and more people died in Tambuya, and by the fifth month, hundreds of people had died in just twenty days, which made the whole city completely panic, and the city lord's mansion was begged every day to clean up the demons hidden in the city.
The lord of the castle was ruthless and asked for support again, so a new group of guardians arrived.
This is already the third group of Guardians.
The first batch was taken by the city lord to besiege and kill the half-demons, but half of them were killed by Zhang Qing, and then the second batch came again, and now they are used in the city to check the demons.
At this moment, the third group of guardians is already the last group of support from the city lord, and if he can't completely solve the problem here, I'm afraid his future will not be too good.
The city lord really has no choice, the current demons are extremely rampant, and they seem to have begun to have a new evolution, and even the guardian's demonic perception can deceive the past, which is really terrifying.
He has to contain it, so use more Guardians to find it!
It's just that what the city lord didn't expect was that not only were the demons not found, but the guardians began to suffer.
These demons actually abandoned their own instincts and began to unite, and among the demons, a terrible anomaly was born, and the one-on-one face of the guardian completely prevailed.
In just one night, many of the guardians were killed by this anomalous demon, and their bodies were separated and discarded in front of the City Lord's Mansion.
This is a complete provocation!
The city lord had no choice but to gather the guardians and protect the most important places in the city.
As for other places, then people can only ask for more blessings, what should be done or whatever.
In an instant, the entire Tambuya fell into the mouth of the demon.
Every day, more than a dozen people are cruelly devoured by demons, and people are terrified and eager to escape from this demon cave.
Countless people wept blood and begged the city lord to invite a half-demon warrior to kill the demon, but how could the city lord who had killed him earlier allow them to come back again.
Besides, even if he begged the group of half-demons more than a hundred miles away, would they really be able to abandon their previous suspicions and be willing to come?
Therefore, the lord of the city could only hold on, ignoring the pleas of the inhabitants of the city.
But being threatened by demons day and night, no one is willing to continue to bear it.
Soon, the demand for the removal of the city lord was quickly conveyed to the higher levels.
The city lord was directly disarmed, and his guardians no longer obeyed his orders, waiting for the arrival of the new city lord.
So on this night, the former city lord was killed by the demon, and the remnants left behind made countless onlookers turn pale.
The people couldn't take it anymore and began to ask other cities to send half-demon warriors to rescue them, and even more, groups of people fled frantically towards other places despite the dangers outside.
Zhang Qing came here during this period, and after hearing about the things here, he sneered in his heart.
Then, he walked slowly out of the city and walked in the other direction.
On the street hundreds of miles away from Tambuya, a female half-demon warrior with a giant axe on her back scurried down the road with a grim expression.
From time to time, she looked up at the sky, calculating how much time it would take.
She hoped to be able to get to Tambuya before night fell to stop the demons from harming more humans.
But just as she was more than thirty miles away from Tambuya, a man stood in front of her and blocked her way.
"I'm sorry, can you stop moving forward?"
Zhang Qing smiled and said to the girl in front of him, "Then can you go with me?" ”
