Chapter 21: The Return of a Hundred Rivers to the Sea (4)
"Demon Lord, but you...... You took our prince? Lian Lian asked loudly, in stark contrast to Tang Yi's calm and gloomy.
"Wuyi? Gone again? ”
"Exactly! His Royal Highness the Prince has been taken away by your demons! Please also ask the Demon Lord to inform us of the whereabouts of the prince and return the prince to our shark clan. Serial shouted in a rough voice.
"Who took him from the demons? I didn't give that order! Tang Yi couldn't help frowning at the same time. Who dared to pretend to be a demon and take Wu Yi away, and Wu Yi didn't resist?
"I don't know who he is! The man claimed to be your envoy, and when he came to the palace of the rising tide, he was going to take His Highness away. His Highness is unwilling, so we naturally don't obey, but his spiritual power cultivation is above that of my people. Therefore, he wounded our guards, and after making a big fuss about the Rising Tide Palace, he forcibly took His Highness away. Lian Lian bowed his head and replied, after all, in his own palace, he lost his own prince, as a guard, is there anything more humiliating than this?
"Didn't he confess his name? What does it look like? Situ Wankong also asked with a little anxiety, she had a faint premonition that Wu Yi's disappearance might be related to Bai Annan.
"He has never reported his name, he is dressed in a black robe, and I don't know what he looks like." Serial answers are based on facts. "But he claims to be an envoy sent by the Demon Lord! It must be someone from the Demon Race! But in the fight, his moves are very strange, that is, there are the spells of the demons, and there are also the moves of the human monks. Even ...... Even the spiritual power when His Highness was mad was forced down by him! ”
This made Tang Yi gasp, he knew very well how powerful Wu Yi was when he couldn't control the power of the Empty Crossbow and broke out. But he was actually forced down, how amazing the other party's cultivation should be!
Situ Wankong and Tang Yi looked at each other silently, and they already knew each other in their hearts.
"Did that man say where he was going to take Wuyi?"
"I didn't say that." Lian Lian shook his head in a thick voice.
Subsequently, Tang Yi sent away Lian Lian and the merman army he had brought ashore alone, and promised to bring Wuyi back within three days. The merman legions then exited the town in unison and returned to the sea, leaving a deep trail of water along the way......
Back then, it was he who placed a ban on Wu Yi and sealed the demonic energy of the empty crossbow. Moreover, the macaron mirror was also refined and stored in his body by Tang Yi, so he could sense where Wu Yi was approximately.
After Situ Lan used Feiyin to inform Zhao Tianren of the Canglong faction and arranged for someone to take over Zhao Tianyang, who was still in a coma, the group of four set off together to find Wu Yi and Bai Annan.
According to the direction guided by Tang Yi, the four of them arrived in Shuangyan City in the evening.
From the outside, it looked like it was no different from other cities, but as soon as the four of them entered the city gates, they realized that this city was really strange and terrifyingly desolate.
At dusk, the setting sun slanted, stretching the figures of the four people long. There were no people on either side of the main street, and the shops on both sides were closed. There are also many houses with white lanterns hanging on the eaves, holding white flags, swaying left and right with the gusts of wind that rise on the flat ground for no reason.
Xia Mu rubbed the goosebumps on his arms, it was still the height of summer, and it was not yet night, how could it be so cold?
"Here...... How strange! ”
Situ Wankong continued: "Yes, here, the yin qi is extremely heavy. ”
"Is something happening? How do you feel good, every household has just ...... It's like dying someone. "Everywhere was lifeless, and even the occasional pedestrians passing by them on the side of the street ran away in terror and speed, as if they had seen a plague. And even in the air, there is an indescribable stench.
"Just ask someone and you'll know." Before Tang Yi finished speaking, he had already quickly picked up a passerby who was about to run away, but he didn't make it.
"What's going on with this city? Is it haunted? Tang Yi smiled evilly.
But the man screamed in fright as if he had seen a ghost, and kicked his legs and feet in the air, "A good man spares his life!" You, you, you...... You let me go first! Let me go! The middle-aged man who was picked up almost cried.
"What do you do!" Situ Wankong shouted, and at the same time, he had already reached out and patted Tang Yi's tough shoulder, signaling him to put the person down first.
The two inevitably touched each other's skins, and Tang Yi really let go of the man who was shaking like chaff in an instant.
"A few of them are strangers, I don't know! Alas~ Our Shuangyan City is indeed about to become a ghost town now. The man sobbed and sighed.
"Why?" Situ Lan asked.
"Three months ago, there was a plague in the city, which was menacing, and there was no cure, and all the ladies in the city were helpless. For a time, the dead died, the fleeed escaped, and the city was still prosperous, but it suddenly became desolate. ”
"Is the plague over now?"
"Well, sort of. Two months after the plague struck, the number of dead people slowly decreased, and those who survived thought that this was the end of their fate and that everything was going to be fine. Who knew it was just a month ago! Ouch! You don't know that those who died of the plague and were buried have actually returned!! The man patted his thigh as he looked to his right, as if he was afraid that a ghoul would suddenly appear.
"What! The person who was buried...... Back again? How did you get back? Xia Mu also stretched his head to the front row, frightened and curious.
The middle-aged man was already like a frightened bird, but suddenly found out that these two women were born exactly the same, like doppelgangers. first screamed in fright, rolled his eyes cooperatively and almost turned his back on breath, and then covered his heart and said, "You are twins?" ”
"Huh?" Xia Mu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted to what he meant, and didn't bother to explain. "That's right, we're twins, so we look the same. You haven't told me yet? Dead man, how did he come back? ”
"How do I know?!" The man slapped his thigh again, about this time with too much force, and grinned and rubbed his thigh after the slap.
"Then you said they were back!"
"It's back! I kid you not! As soon as the sun goes down, you can often see ghouls coming and going on the streets! Blue-faced and black-eyed, zombie-like action. Some of them were buried early, and half of their bodies were rotten, and many bones were exposed and dangling. Ouch! I can't even say it! I'm going back first, let me go. By the way, you'd better find a place to avoid it. Although these ghouls do not actively attack the living, if they are scratched or bitten, they will immediately be infected with the plague, and there is no cure at all, and they will eventually die! ”
Without waiting for an answer, the man had already run away quickly.
The four of them no longer chased after them, but just stood in place with their own thoughts.
He said...... Is it a zombie? Natsumu stammered first. Half frightened, half excited, inexplicably there is a sense of excitement that finally has the opportunity to kill demons and fight monsters. It's still with the three big guys, it's exciting to think about.
