Volume 1: The Earth Demon Prince Chapter 331: The human heart is unpredictable
However, Su Weiping is even more envious of the people around him who ask for others but not for themselves, at least there is still a faint hope in their hearts, unlike him, even the last hope has disappeared.
Su Weiping has often thought for the past few days that if the war had not been so urgent that day, and he had not taken the risk to meet a few "retreat" commanders, maybe he would not have discovered the cruel truth.
Looking at the silent City Lord's Mansion in the distance, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, naked ridicule and self-deprecation flashed in his eyes, and he didn't say anything, and silently returned to the barracks.
Many people are still hoping that a few commanders can go out to preside over the overall situation, only he knows that the solemn mansion has long been empty, and those commanders who are "retreating and recuperating" have all abandoned the city and fled without a trace......
There are more and more brute beasts gathered outside the city, and the number of beast tides attacking the city is more frequent, with the rapid consumption of a large number of troops, the battle to defend the city is becoming more and more intense, and the number of people killed in battle is increasing every day, and the corpse becomes food for the brute beasts.
Su Weiping didn't know how long he could last, he originally thought that he would be like those people, and finally became the ration and blood food of the brute beasts, but unexpectedly, in the second month of the siege of the beast tide, the dense beasts outside the city left one after another in a few days, leaving behind pieces of rotting corpses, some of them were brute beasts, and some of them were demon clans.
After the disaster ended, many people were in a trance and did not react immediately, until Su Weiping released the roar in his heart, and then burst into cheers of victory one after another.
There were also people who shouted at the sky, and the voices were full of joy for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, as well as inexplicable anger and unwillingness, and they didn't know if they were aimed at the brute beast or anyone else.
However, the two-month-long war ended, but the crisis in the small city has not been resolved, there were less than 100,000 people, more than 30,000 were killed in the chaos, and the remaining 60,000 demon clans, most of them were weak people who had not reached the Yuan Dan realm, and a small number of them had higher cultivation, but they were also injured.
The large-scale siege beast tide has retreated, but there are many scattered beast herds, still active in the wasteland near the city, and those beast herds whose strength is not low are also a big threat to the small city where the elite has plummeted.
After the war, Su Weiping did not hide it, and truthfully informed the people of the truth that several commanders abandoned the city and fled, and the cruel news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the people who had just come out of the desperate situation were once again thrown into the cold abyss and overwhelmed by endless fear.
How can a city without the presence of a demon saint to defend it survive in a dangerous wilderness? Some people accept reality in despair, some people are at a loss, and some people are stubborn and unbelievable.
Someone jumped out to reprimand Su Weiping, saying that he was misleading the people and disturbing the people's hearts, and he didn't know whether to hide his fears or curry favor with those in power who didn't exist at all, but unfortunately, as time went by, no commander was seen standing up in the silent city lord's mansion.
Many people also faintly discovered that several relatives and friends of the commander in the city, as well as his confidants, were "accidentally killed" in the war of the beast tide attacking the city, and finally there were no bones.
But those people still didn't give up, they only thought that the commander was angry because of Su Weiping's slander, and was determined to abandon them who had no heart, and even plotted to kill him many times, so as to obtain the forgiveness of all the demon saints.
But they don't remember at all, since
When he was struggling in the disaster, the so-called Demon Saint Commander never appeared, it was Su Weiping who fought with his soldiers, personally led the army to charge into battle, and repelled the crisis of breaking the city again and again.
In the dilapidated town that has just experienced a disaster, the people do not cherish the hard-won peace, and for the sake of a small number of rare survival resources, they fight for the blood, forcibly plunder, cheat, and deceive, and there is chaos, blood, and squalor everywhere.
Several surviving peak demon kings did not think about how to restore order, they only thought about winning over people to fight for power and profit, and they didn't think about helping Su Weiping, who was deeply involved in rumors, but fell into the well, not thinking about their comrades at all.
Soon after experiencing the cold-bloodedness of the strong and realizing the hardships and cruelty of the survival of the weak, Su Weiping never thought that he would experience the warmth and coldness of the world so quickly, and realized the ruthlessness of those ants.
Poor people must have something to hate, Su Weiping sneered and put away his savior-like pity, he was disheartened when he encountered an accident, and he was in a state of confusion for half a month after the end of the beast tide.
Until late one night, in the quiet of the night, he received an anonymous letter from an owner, in which someone told him where he could be taken in, saying only that if he got there, he would also have the opportunity to become a ruler he despised, take control of his own destiny, and show the way there.
I haven't seen the owner of the letter, and I don't know the good and evil of the other party, and the reason why the other party attracted him to go is even more ridiculous, but he seems to be in a demonic obstacle, and the ghost makes the god worse, so he didn't have the slightest doubt, and directly chose to believe.
In the early morning of the second day, Su Weiping did not pack his luggage and left the Yatu Wasteland in the dark night, only taking the silver spear and wearing tattered bright silver armor, accompanied by only two hundred loyal comrades-in-arms and forty unwilling clansmen.
And only a few days after they left, another team left the small city, and the direction of progress was contrary to Su Weiping's people, there were only seven or eight people in this team, but they were all demon king powerhouses, and their strength was quite extraordinary, as long as they didn't encounter the beast saint, the small-scale beast group was not afraid at all.
However, with such a strong strength, this team hid and hidden, deliberately hiding their whereabouts and footprints along the way, not only avoiding the wandering demon clan, but also avoiding the wandering beasts, and it took almost half a month to get out of the Yatu Wasteland.
......
Leaving the arid and barren sub-soil wasteland, there are no sandstorms flying in the sky, loose yellow sand mixed with thick soil, the temperature slowly drops, the climate gradually becomes humid, and the vegetation in the field of vision also appears one after another.
Low thorny shrubs, tall cacti, stout poplars, straight dates, due to occasional rainfall, the low and enclosed strips form large and small oases, scattered in the vast desert.
The fresh grass swaying in the wind, the clear blue lake, the turquoise woods swaying, the quiet deer drinking leisurely by the lake, and the vibrant scene in front of them all make the people who have been trapped in the Gobi for a long time feel refreshed and happy.
The team of demon kings from the nameless town had already lost most of their weight when they came here, and the three surviving people found the huge weeping poplar tree standing on the edge of the Yatu Wasteland, and lit a fire under the tree to bake some kind of special incense powder.
After releasing the signal as agreed, the three of them rested under the tree, looking at the strange environment around them, and after a while, they saw a team of more than a dozen people following the signal to find them, and there was a demon clan with a hyena nose in the middle, greedily sucking the residual smell of incense powder in the air.
A team of more than a dozen people was fully armed, all of them were demon kings of the Chongmai Realm, and the three of them were surrounded, and the tiger-faced man in the lead and a few people waved their hands at the others after the code, and those people let down their guard and handed out a lot of water and food.
The three of them were exhausted and already hungry, so they took the food and devoured it, poured a few mouthfuls of water, and while telling the various encounters on the road and the situation of the small town, they followed the demon king's team to a small oasis in the middle of nowhere.
In the middle of the oasis with a pleasant view, several sturdy wooden houses were built, and the tiger-faced man led the three of them to the outside of the wooden house, signaling a few people to enter, and he himself stood guard at the door, closing the door of the wooden house, prohibiting anyone from approaching.
It didn't take long for a series of crackling sounds to come from the wooden house, and it quickly calmed down, and the tiger-faced man's face did not change in the slightest, and then he heard a voice in the room: "Red Tiger, you come in and deal with it." ”
"It's coming!" the tiger-faced man said nonchalantly, opening the closed door, holding his ankles with his big fan-like hands, dragging out the three tattered corpses, and leaving the oasis again, and the rest of the demon king's team was no longer surprised.
In the wooden house, there were four people sitting opposite each other, judging from the aura emanating from their bodies, they were all characters at the peak of the Demon King realm, among them, there was a woman wearing a clean white silk robe, looking at the blood on the ground with a faint disgust in her eyes, and she spoke coldly.
"I don't know how thick a few wastes are, just to pass on some news, so they dare to provoke us and others with pride, and they want to take the opportunity to blackmail, I really don't know whether to live or die!"
The man next to him drank bitterly with a wine bowl, the liquor in the bowl was stained red with fresh blood, but he didn't dislike it at all, and sneered: "Anyway, the boss has already ordered that as long as the foolish people in the city have come into contact with us, they must kill people and kill them, and we won't have to find excuses to deal with them." ”
The other person ignored their conversation and sorted out the news he had just gotten: "The beast tide has been attacking the city for two months, the beast venerable beast saint has not appeared, the beast tide has not been able to attack and retreat for a long time, the city has survived but its strength has plummeted, and now the order in the city is chaotic, and the remaining captains are going their own way, forming gangs, and Su Weiping will lead his troops to find another way out......"
Hearing Su Weiping's name, the remaining people suddenly had a cold light in their eyes, filled with righteous indignation, and slapped the table: "What a Su Weiping! Dare to slander the commander, how can such a rebellious person allow him to get away with it, and he will definitely be killed!"
The big man and the woman looked at each other and smiled, with sarcasm in their smiles, and the person who was sorting out the news also smiled, didn't pay much attention, just looked at the righteous man, and asked, "Your Excellency, would you like to capture the thief?"
The righteous man was speechless with shame and anger......
If someone from the nameless small city was present, it would not be difficult to recognize the four people in the house, who were the henchmen of the four commanders of the City Lord's Mansion, Liu Yi, and several martyrs who should have died bravely in the beast tide and had no bones left!
As for why the few people who should have died heroically ran here to live in peace and enjoy themselves, it is unknown.
