Chapter 50: The Crisis in the Middle Capital
The road is so long that with Ke Zhou's foot strength, he can't get close to Zhongdu quickly. And because the field of vision here is really a bit broad, if Beibei runs directly to that side with Ke Zhou, it is very likely to be discovered. In that case, it is estimated that it will be a problem to even enter the city at that time, but after thinking about it for a long time, I finally chose to stop on the side of the road.
Along the way, it is clear that there are almost no intact houses or buildings. Almost all the houses along the way had been demolished or burned, as if they had just finished a war, which also made Ke Zhou a little difficult to accept: no matter how this is a huge castle-like city periphery, even if the distance is not very close, such a thing should not happen.
"So what the hell is going on?" Ke Zhou seemed to be talking to himself, in fact, he really wanted to convey his uneasiness to Bai Yu through this feeling of talking to himself, hoping that the spirit bird could give him an answer.
Bai Yu's answer was very fast, it seemed that she had already understood the matter here, and with a soft sound, her words went directly into Ke Zhou's mind: "It's some beast tide that leaked from the previous pass, and the news from Xiao Liu's side is that the border pass is in a bad situation now, and it may be lost at any time." Because of this, many Warcraft bypassed the border gates, which had shrunk sharply, and came to the mainland......"
Although Ke Zhou had imagined the seriousness of the beast tide as much as possible, he was still stunned when such news reached his mind. He thought that this was all there was to it, but Bai Yu didn't seem to have the intention of stopping, and continued: "The current situation is very serious, the two sides of the Northern Eagle are almost caught by the beast tide, and there are a large number of small demonic beasts or swift demonic beasts raging in some remote villages and relatively desolate villages in the country, causing the reinforcements to be unable to keep up. โ
"Monsters suicidally attacked the city's grain warehouses...... Although there is still a lot of food in everyone's space, it really can't last long. โ
It seems that at this point, Bai Yu has finished what he wants to say. But Ke Zhou didn't react at all, after all, there were two things that made him care too much: one was to specifically pick villages to attack, and the other was to suicidal attacks on granaries. No matter how you think about it, this can't be a method that was purely concocted by some low-IQ creatures, and this can no longer be called a method, it should be called a strategy.
"Beibei, do you know anything about the beast tide? I heard that the beast tide is breaking out on the other side of this country, I don't know if it's because of the influence of that side. While thinking, he suddenly thought of Beibei, if the dragon's action this time was not accidental, but deliberate, it must have taken into account the reason of the beast tide, so they chose to attack at this time.
"I only know that there is a Warcraft riot, and the others don't know. Beibei's answer was very succinct.
"But obviously the damage is so serious here, why didn't any demonic beasts appear to attack us along the way?" Ke Zhou was like a hundred thousand whys at the moment, trying to get some words out of Beibei's mouth as much as possible. It's just a pity that there is no definite answer, and all I got was an answer that "normal monsters can sense the threat of the dragon clan and will not approach at will".
It seems that she is really reluctant to reveal things to Ke Zhou, of course, it is also possible that she herself does not know, all in all, after determining that she is unlikely to get any information from Beibei, Ke Zhou chooses to give up. Turn to the other side and start thinking about today's rest.
Before I knew it, I had been walking for half an afternoon, and now it was approaching evening. Although he could walk at night, he didn't like it, and now he had to find a place where he could rest todayโafter all, it was a bit too desolate and inhuman.
"Ke Zhou?"
This time the sound did not come from the alarm clock, but really appeared behind Ke Zhou. This familiar voice must be the spirit bird of the white feather. With this thought, Ke Zhou turned around and looked at the sky: a small bird that was not too big was already waiting for him there with its wings fluttering.
"Damn, you're finally back, do you know that during your absence, we almost died. โ
Although he had already made contact with Bai Yu, after all, Beibei didn't know about this matter, so he would better pretend to talk about it first...... Of course, such a deliberate statement is indeed a bit too fake. But how to think about this is also Bai Yu's fault, after all, it suddenly flew over, so Ke Zhou didn't have time to prepare at all.
"Puff~" Beibei on the side suddenly laughed, and it seemed that he had been holding back for a while...... But it's right to think about it, compared to Ke Zhou, her reconnaissance ability is much stronger, and it is estimated that she felt Bai Yu's voice one step ahead of Ke Zhou. Thinking of this, Ke Zhou was about to ask, but before he could ask, Beibei had already given him an answer.
"I've seen it...... I've been feeling it for a long time, okay......"
Kindness?
Hearing this, Ke Zhou couldn't help but be a little surprised, if Beibei could feel the aura that Bai Yu was trying to hide under the blessing of magic, would the other dragon clans also feel this a long time ago? If this is the case, it may be a little bad.
As if sensing Ke Zhou's thoughts, Beibei rubbed Ke Zhou's arm with his face, and continued: "It's okay, the others haven't seen the little spirit bird, and the ability to shield the breath is really powerful, it's impossible to find it......" These words can be regarded as relieving Ke Zhou, but at this moment, he is not sure whether Beibei, who may be hiding something in his heart, is lying.
"Whew...... Okay, so what are you going to say when you come down suddenly?"
Ke Zhou asked the spirit bird Bai Yu, it shouldn't give up tracking and choose to rush down for no reason.
"It's nothing, just come down and provide you with something. As he spoke, a small opening suddenly appeared out of thin air, and a green card and a blue card fell out of the mouth. It seems that it is something left by Xiao Liu. "With these two cards, it's a lot easier for you, at least to get into the city. โ
Bai Yu flew around the sky a few times, and finally docked on Ke Zhou's shoulder. "During your disappearance before, I contacted Xiao Liu, and the situation on his side was more serious...... So it may be difficult to come back. And he said that if anything happens, let me take you to the border of the Northern Eagle Country, where there are some neutral countries and some good academies. I also wrote you a letter of recommendation, and that's pretty much it. โ
She said a lot of things at once, and this amount of information made Ke Zhou a little unacceptable. Especially when Xiao Liu's side suddenly mentioned the word "change", Ke Zhou was a little too concerned - he even suddenly thought for a moment that Xiao Liu was referring to the change caused by the beast tide, or something else.
Of course, it doesn't matter anymore, if there's a problem, wait until it happens...... Ke Zhou thought so and looked up at the already dim sky.
"Bai Yu, can you build a simple house with magic?"
"Yes, but I don't recommend it. โ
"Why?" Ke Zhou had some questions about Bai Yu's answer, after all, no one would want to sleep in the grass or in the ruins.
"Because, in about an hour, it's time for the Demon Beast to sweep. At that time, the house will also collapse when it is erected, so it is better not to do it. Bai Yu said this, waved his wings slightly, and pointed into the distance.
