Chapter 142: Ruined Walls
Along the way, Yinyue was telling me about the things in the demon world, especially the past of the Ichimoku demon clan, and slowly I could roughly outline the outline of this arrogant demon clan in my heart, I still remember the legend of Kuafu's chasing the sun, but I didn't expect this demon clan to be the descendant of Kuafu's father, and soon I will be able to see the rumored tall giant.
And Yinyue also told me that although the Ichimoku Demon Clan is tall and mighty, they are able to forge all kinds of artifacts with their minds and hands, and the Ichimoku Demon Clan is extremely good at building, and their city-state is perhaps the most majestic in the entire Demon Realm......
It wasn't until I and Ginzuki finally stood under the castle of Ichimoku that I realized that what I saw was completely far from what I imagined, and Ginyue and I were shocked and hesitant to freeze under the castle, in Ginyue's description, there should be a magnificent and majestic huge castle here.
But now what falls in our eyes is a ruined ruin, only from the collapsed city wall can vaguely imagine the glory of this place, the whole city is shrouded in billowing smoke, and the fire that has not been extinguished can be seen in the distance, and the devastation and desolation make Yinyue stunned, this is still not the country of Ichimoku she once came to.
It was evident that there had been devastating damage here, and I didn't see a single giant in the ruins, Silver Moon found a black arrow that had not penetrated the wall on the ruined wall, and after breaking it, she held it in her hand for a long time, and her face immediately brightened with alertness, and she looked around with full attention, and walked through the broken wall, the once tall and majestic buildings were now completely collapsed, and everywhere you could see but the fire that had not yet burned and the traces of blades and arrows everywhere.
"Ichimoku has been attacked before, and it has been captured!" Yinyue looked around in shock and said. "Although the number of the Ichimoku Demon Clan is small, its body is extremely huge, and its strength is amazing, and it is difficult for the general demon clan to fight, who can capture the next Momu Country......"
"Didn't you say before that the Ichimoku Kingdom doesn't interact with other demon clans, why did Haoduan attack the Ichimu Kingdom?" I asked, confused.
"This is also what I don't understand, the country of Ichimoku has never interacted with other demon clans, and has always lived here, even if the demon emperor leaves the demon world, the Ichimoku demon clan will never have trouble with other demon clans." Yinyue shook her head and said puzzled.
"Could it be the Extravagant Corpse, since the Extravagant Corpse has become the Demon Emperor's minion, and captured this place before invading the Qingqiu Kingdom?" I asked thoughtfully.
"There is absolutely no such possibility, the extravagant corpse is a barbarian demon and does not have demon power, even if there are 100,000 people, but in front of the huge one-eyed demon clan, the 100,000 people are not worth mentioning, and the one-eyed demon clan is afraid that the extravagant corpse will also be killed and injured countless times." Yinyue shook her head affirmatively and said to me. "What's more, the city walls that have been seen at a glance are towering into the sky, how can the extravagant corpse be attacked, let alone destroy the most majestic and magnificent giant city in this demon world like this."
So far, I haven't seen a single person from the Ichimoku Demon Clan, judging from the broken city walls and the fragmented ruins, the war that happened here should not be long in coming, if the Ichimu Demon Clan is attacked, it is bound to rebel, but where have the huge giants gone now?
Although it was ruined everywhere, it had obviously been cleaned up, and we didn't find a single corpse in the ruins, so it was difficult for Silvermoon to tell what kind of demon clan dared to start a war on this place and break through the city.
Yinyue and I searched in the ruins for a long time and found nothing, Yinyue saw that it was getting late and worried that something would happen, so I asked her and her to exit the city first to find a hidden place, and then come to investigate at dawn, now that the demon world is in chaos, she doesn't know what will happen, not to mention that now the two of us are alone and go deep into the pool A little mistake will be dangerous.
I nodded and agreed to follow Yinyue out of the city, outside the city Yinyue suddenly stopped, looking at the distance with a little panicked, I followed her gaze and saw a monster in the distance, looking like a sheep's four horns biting something.
Yinyue sped up and walked over to drive away the monster, we squatted on the ground only to see that it was a rotting corpse, seeing that the skeleton was huge and different from ordinary people, it must be the corpse of a demon giant, Yinyue looked at the monster that was dispersed before with a solemn face, the monster seemed to be afraid that we did not dare to approach, but he was reluctant to leave the corpse, and the roar in the distance should be made by the monster companion, and the monster quickly ran towards the roar.
Hearing the roar of the demon beast, Yinyue's face became even more worried, and she quickly stood up and followed the monster.
"What is that monster, and why do you care so much?" I asked in surprise.
"This monster is called the earth mole, and it belongs to the beast demon, and it will usually come in groups." Silver Moon stared intently at the earth mole in front of her and stepped up. "Earth mole is different from ordinary beast demons, although it is a carnivorous monster, it never attacks other monsters."
"Since it eats meat and doesn't attack other monsters, what does this earth mole eat?"
"Carrion, which specializes in devouring rotting corpses, is therefore regarded as an ominous monster in the demon world, because as long as the earth mole appears, it must mean that there are dead corpses."
Before Yinyue's words were finished, I vaguely smelled the pungent rancid stench, the more I walked forward, the stronger the smell, I couldn't help but cover my mouth and nose with my hand, the mole in front of me disappeared on a hill, and when I and Yinyue walked up, I was completely shocked by the tragic scene in front of me, I was dumbfounded, and my hand slowly lowered and looked at the bottom of the hill in fear.
Below that was a large canyon, as far as the eye could see, the mountains were full of moles, and in the canyon filled with the pungent stench, there were hundreds of corpses of giants, each of which was now unrecognizable, and most of the flesh on its body had been devoured by the moles, and what remained was almost a huge forest of white bones.
No wonder we didn't see the giants of the Ichimoku Demon Clan in the city, I didn't expect all of them to die here, we stood on the hill and saw clearly, these giants still have traces of arrows and blades on their bodies, there was a tragic massacre in this canyon, judging from the density of arrows, the number of besieging Ichimoku giants at that time, the arrow body was still the black that Yinyue saw before.
Yinyue was shocked and speechless, looking at the canyon under the hill sluggishly, this is already the graveyard of giants, the once arrogant demon clan has now been reduced to the corpse of the mole to bite, and the countless earth mole in the canyon are hungry and devouring the rotten corpses, and there is some inexplicable coldness in her heart.
Silver Moon found countless footprints on the canyon, and it was very clear that it was the footprints of mortal demons, Silver Moon looked around and said sternly, after the Ichimoku Kingdom was broken, these Ichimoku giants were driven away from here, and the soldiers around the canyon had already been ambushed, and when the Ichimu Giant was driven into the canyon, they began to slaughter.
"This is not a dispute between the demon clan at all, this is to exterminate the demon clan!" Yinyue took a deep breath and said to me in shock. "But the Ichimoku Demon Clan has no dealings with other demon clans, why would they slaughter the Ichimu Giant for no reason, not to mention that it is not something that ordinary demons can do to conquer the huge Ichimoku Country."
"The Demon Emperor's minions......" I said worriedly, frowning. We know that the twelve golden people are cast by the Ichimoku Demon Clan, presumably the Demon Emperor also knows, maybe the same as the purpose of our coming here, is to learn the whereabouts of the Jin people from the mouth of the Ichimu Demon Clan, so it seems that the Ichimu Demon Clan really knows the secrets of the Jin people, but I don't know if it has been revealed, but no matter whether the Ichimu Demon Clan says it or not, the result is the same destined to be wiped out. ”
"It shouldn't be that you want to ask about the whereabouts of the Jin people from the mouth of the giant eye." Yinyue looked at the mountains of corpses in the canyon and said calmly. "It has been a few years since the corpse marched into attack the Qingqiu Kingdom, if the corpse has become the minion of the Demon Emperor, it means that the mastermind behind the corpse has long known the whereabouts of the Jin people, and these one-eyed giants have not been slaughtered for a long time from the corpses, and it should have happened after we returned to the demon world."
Yinyue took me to the canyon, and Yinyue said that no matter what, the Ichimoku Giant was once brilliant, and even if he died in vain, he could not fall to the point of being devoured by the mole, and the bones of so many giants could not be buried one by one, and only burning in this canyon was also an explanation to the Ichimoku Giant.
Silver Moon revealed its true body in the canyon, and the moment the nine giant tail moves unfolded, the earth mole that was devouring it should suddenly know the power of the nine-tailed demon fox, and immediately scattered and hid in the mountains and forests, and Silver Moon summoned a sea of fire to burn the corpses of the one-eyed giants in the canyon, which can be regarded as leaving the last dignity for this once arrogant demon clan.
Watching the one-eyed giant slowly turn to ashes in the sea of fire, I sighed heavily and muttered to myself.
"Since it's not for the whereabouts of the Jin people, why do you want to slaughter and exterminate the one-eyed giant so cruelly?"
"Maybe someone can tell us why......"
I looked at the silver moon who was squatting on the ground and turned back into a human form while talking, I buried my head and saw that there were huge footprints in the ground that were dented, and the footprints disappeared into the mountains and forests above the canyon, and there were bloodstained marks on the footprints, which were clearly the footprints of giants.
If we can find the surviving Ichimoku Demon Clan, we may be able to learn from them what happened here, as well as the whereabouts of the Twelve Golden Men who are at stake, thinking of this, Yinyue and I followed the footprints and walked deep into the mountains and forests.
