The snow was falling heavily, and the sky was dreary.

But the sky was gradually turning a strange dark red, and the wind was not very strong.

Many people already felt that something was wrong, because a large number of birds and beasts on the polar ice fields were fleeing south in panic, and even the insects under the snow had crawled out, as if it was an instinctive fear.

Panic of the unknown hangs over people's hearts.

Under the mobilization of the government, the residents of the small town carried their valuables to the streets, some drove deer carts, and dog-pulled climbing plows, under the escort of the city guards, began to evacuate one after another.

Boom Rumble......

The earth shook violently.

At this time, someone outside ran into the town and shouted: "Run, the volcano in the north has erupted, and a large number of strange insects are rushing over!" ”

Those who know a little bit about history know that the last cataclysm began with a plague of insects, in which humanity was almost in danger of extinction.

Is history going to repeat itself again?!

Several armored cars, escorted by more than a dozen vehicles full of armed men, rushed out of the city gates.

Noise begins in the wilderness, and the inhabitants of Mordette City are scrambling to follow the beast team and flee south!

The whole town was in chaos inside and out.

Farther north, a wave of black-pressed insects is sweeping in.

The originally white field was gradually covered by a black insect tide.

Rumble! Boom!

The human transcendent realm cultivators began the battle, intending to slow down the advance of the insect tide.

Clusters of fire burst open, killing the insects that rushed to the front, but more insects came up.

However, there were too few transcendents who rose up to reinforce them, only a dozen or so, and they were powerless to stop the advance of the insect tide.

Soon, the insect tide surrounded the small city and began to pour into the city.

The town resounded with the mournful chirping of deer and the wailing of cattle and sheep, and the experience of humans during the last cataclysm had a certain effect, and a large number of insects were attracted by the smell of blood emanating from the town, and gave up chasing the fleeing crowd.

Humans brutally slaughter and deliberately maim abandoned animals to bear this misery in their place.

There is a winding mountain road leading from the city of Modet to the city of Hongtasi, and several snow plows open the way in front, and when the snow is compacted, the road is very smooth and smooth, which does not hinder the speed of the fleeing procession.

The Living Buddha sat in the back seat of an armored SUV with his eyes closed, as if thinking about something, while the city lord next to him, Molegen, looked out the window at the flow of refugees, his brows furrowed.

"If we give up the city like this, will we be blamed by the Dharma King?" Molegan said.

"To be able to evacuate people safely is a great achievement." Jebu opened his eyes and said, "In the face of the catastrophe, many things are powerless. ”

"Are we going to Hanhai City or where?" Molegan asked.

"Let's go to the Eastern Regions, go to Beiyan first, and then transfer to Bingzhou." Jeb said.

"Let's give up the foundation and ancestral land here?"

"Molegen, in the face of this catastrophe, the most important thing is to survive." Jebu looked at Molegen, "These are the exact words of Master Long Zhi. ”

Molegan stopped talking, in the Burning Cloud Empire, the Dragon Wisdom Law King was an existence above the imperial power.

Relatively speaking, the Mordeths were relatively lucky and avoided this disaster in advance, but in other parts of the world, humans were not so lucky, large-scale insect tides occurred near the northern and southern polar regions, many human cities were destroyed, and the human world was once again challenged and invaded by otherworldly creatures.

The news of the invasion of large-scale otherworldly demon insects in various places soon spread.

……

As the sky shimmers, another long night is over.

After coming out of the cave where they camped at night, Ling Li and Yukong came to the top of the peak and looked into the distance.

In front of him was a large frozen river, and the lowland that stretched out along the banks of the valley was the Burning Cloud Empire.

Suddenly, his heart moved slightly.

On the road in the distance, groups of refugees are entering the mountain pass in batches and pouring south. A nervous emotion suddenly arose in his heart, but he didn't know the source.

"Something has happened." Tantai Makino said lightly.

For him, the catastrophe of the human race on the Red Flame Continent had little to do with him.

But Ling Li's heart was deeply shaken.

In the historical records, he has seen too many tragic scenes of mankind in the era of cataclysm. Finally, he was a member of the Red Flame Continent, and it was naturally impossible for him to be indifferent to the disasters suffered by the human race.

The ethnic composition of the Lieyun Empire in the Northern Ice Fields is complex, with the Rosa people, the Jigasi people, the Wugu people, the enemy martyrs, the Murwei people, the Davao people and the Evens, as well as many people from the Eastern Regions. Due to the natural terrain barrier formed after the cataclysm, there was not much interaction with the Eastern Regions Federation, and Ling Li was not very familiar with the situation of the Burning Cloud Empire.

However, he did have a detailed map of the northern territory provided by the Western Qin military.

After crossing the Boshuo Mountains, he called up the map, analyzed it carefully, and flew in the direction of the nearest Shile City.

Except for Hanhai City and Wulun City, the northern ice fields are vast and sparsely populated, and the other cities are very small, basically between tens of thousands of people, which is roughly the same as the Tuntian fortress in the Eastern Regions.

With a population of more than 40,000, Shile is considered a medium-sized city among the towns in the Northern Regions.

On the banks of the Bailu River in the north, a campplace in the north has lit up a lot of bonfires, and tens of thousands of people are shivering in the cold snowfield, only the bonfire in front of them can still give them some warmth and security.

This team of refugees who escaped from Tengge City after the outbreak of the insect tide, after encountering several attacks, also understood that some of those alien insects were more afraid of fire. If you march at night, your party will not only be attacked by insects, but also by wild beasts.

After several attacks, the commanders of the team finally came to their senses and chose to camp at night and take defensive measures to reduce their losses.

It's a pity that in the winter in the Northland, the daylight hours are too short, and they can only move for five hours a day, so the team has to stop.

At this time, the snowstorm that had been going on for several days had stopped, and there was a frightening silence between heaven and earth.

The undulating mountains and forests on the snowy fields, and the gray shadows reborn at night, look very mysterious and solemn, which is intimidating.

Night had come, and according to Ling Li's habit, he would choose to find a place to camp, but today he did not stop, but continued to fly forward.

Tantai Makino also returned to the trial space, and he was the only one on the snowfield rushing towards the north alone.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, and his figure turned in a direction in mid-air, and after flying for a few more minutes, he landed.

The camp was surrounded by cold fog, and the cold wind of the night seemed to become even colder and more bitter all of a sudden. The camp was surrounded by a protective wall of cars and deer carts, and the flames on the snow campfire were suddenly stretched for a long time.

Qiao Shan, who was in charge of the command, looked cautious and whispered to himself: "It's too quiet......"

Utai, the commander of the city guards beside him, was also infected by his emotions, and looked around cautiously. The night has completely shrouded the entire heaven and earth, the snow field is dark and dreary, the three waning moons are as cold as frost, and the light emitted by the red moon also seems to be full of blood. There was silence, and the whole world seemed to be silent at this moment.

The tent where the Living Buddha and the city lord were located was located in the center of the camp, and although the two and their families never showed up, some of the guards of the White Pagoda Temple were also incorporated into the team guarding the camp.

The night was cold, and at some point, the cold fog became thicker and thicker, and the mules, horses, and red deer pulling carts in the camp became restless, and from time to time let out a low neigh. The hounds and sled dogs also looked warily into the distance and let out bursts of barking. Originally, the starlight was brilliant in the sky, but as the night deepened, it seemed to become hazy, and only two waning moons remained, which were also dim, as if they were covered by a layer of gauze.

Qiao Shan stood on the side of an armored car, looking at the sky above him, and his right hand couldn't help but hold the hilt of the knife.

Under the dark night sky, the fog that had originally covered the snowfield spread towards the camp.

In the mist, there were many scarlet points of light, much like the eyes of monsters.

An extremely cold wind blew from the mist, and the flames on the dozens of campfires in the camp seemed to be suppressed and almost disappeared. The surrounding dark fog was filled with strange sounds, like metal cutting across the ice, and like extremely thin pieces of metal vibrating and rubbing at high speed, emitting a palpitating hum.

At this moment, the wail of an elk was heard in the distance, followed by several terrible wolf howls, and the howls and screams of wild beasts on this empty snowfield rang out one after another, and the sound of a large number of beasts fleeing in panic was getting closer and closer, and the sound was amazing.

A few small groups of elk, snow antelope, and rock sheep rushed towards the camp where the humans were located, despite the danger, as if seeking refuge.

"Turn on the lights!" Qiao Shan's eyes opened suddenly, and he let out a loud shout.

Swish!

Dozens of searchlights mounted on the roof of the car suddenly lit up.

Thick pillars of light cut through the darkness and illuminated the surroundings of the camp, making everything in the field visible.

The light of the searchlight was blocked by the fog and could not shine too far.

At the moment when the lights came on, the guards who were on guard saw that there were many dense black shadows in the fog, and there were so many shadows that they couldn't count how many there were.

I don't know who in the team was so frightened that they shouted: "It's the insect tide, the insect tide is coming!" ”

The camp was surrounded by the sound of wild beasts fleeing, and Qiao Shan jumped on the roof of the car, and under the searchlight, everyone's face was blue and white, and the animals in the camp were in a disturbed commotion.

The strange sound of metal grinding became louder and louder, gradually converging in the direction of the camp......
