Chapter 953: Monsters
"Prince Dingguo, quick, lead the way!" Duan Qifeng said hurriedly after hearing this, and instantly dropped the sledgehammer.
"No need, I'm already here!" Ning Yue's voice drifted into Duan Qifeng's ears like a breeze. Following the voice, Ning Yue and Qianduxue's otherworldly posture appeared in Duan Qifeng's eyes. But what puzzled Duan Qifeng was that he didn't realize Ning Yue's arrival until Ning Yue spoke, and before, he didn't even feel the slightest abnormality in the place where Ning Yue was standing.
With peerless appearances like Ning Yue and Qian Duxue, they can become the focus of the eyes of the world no matter where they stand. But so many people came and went around, and they all turned a blind eye to Ning Yue and the others. Moreover, if Ning Yue hadn't deliberately revealed her figure, the forbidden army would not have discovered that Ning Yue, a mysterious visitor, had come to the barracks unknowingly.
The doubts in his eyes flashed, and Duan Qifeng clapped his hands casually, "The prince is here, and there will be a disappointment in the end, the prince, please come with me!"
Following Duan Qifeng, Ning Yue's brows furrowed slightly. Although Duan Qifeng didn't show any abnormality, Ning Yue still sensed a trace of repulsion from Duan Qifeng's demeanor. Could it be that she offended him somewhere? Ning Yue couldn't help but think in her heart.
"What's the situation in Liangzhou?" Ning Yue strode with Duan Qifeng, but there was a hint of unhappiness on her face.
"Don't be impatient, the prince will be here soon!" After the words landed, Duan Qifeng paused, "We've arrived!"
This is where a defense line at the north gate of Liangzhou is located, and the fortifications here have also been completed. There is no endless flow of people, and there is no earth-shattering trumpet. But in the air here, there is an unspeakable blood.
At sunset, the golden sunlight shines on the earth, and the dappled golden light is reflected on the majestic city walls. Duan Qifeng lightly jumped onto the city wall, stretched out his finger and pointed into the distance, "Lord Wang, please look!"
The golden sunlight sprinkled on Duan Qifeng's iron-like body, making Duan Qifeng even more powerful. But following Duan Qifeng's fingers, Ning Yue saw a scene that seemed to be a netherworld hell.
Under the city walls, there are secretly lying the corpses of a group of monsters, they can no longer be called humans, although they have the same limbs as people, but the limbs of normal people are absolutely impossible to be as long as them. It's like a four-legged spider. Every dead monster is separated from its head, with severed limbs all over the ground, and in the sea of corpses and blood in front of him, there is a rich fishy atmosphere.
Even Ning Yue had seen the cruelty of war, but the scene in front of her still made Ning Yue feel a chill in her back. Because the battlefield in front of us is no longer a war between people, just like a terrible battlefield between humans and aliens.
"Seven days ago, these monsters appeared outside Liangzhou City for the first time, and they were not numerous, and the starting motive is unknown. But I still ordered my brothers to launch a tentative attack.
Five hundred brethren, all clothed in fine armor, went into battle. The monsters were still just free, but when the brothers attacked, they frantically surrounded the brothers like cats that smelled fish.
I stood here and watched, and I saw how the five hundred brothers were eaten by these monsters. The screams of the brethren are still ringing in my ears to this day. Those monsters could not be killed at all, they were not afraid of bows and crossbows, they were not afraid of swordsmen, and no matter how much the brethren slashed, they would not die.
In just a quarter of an hour, all 500 brothers were gone, and they tore my brothers to pieces and devoured them as if they were dividing meat. The battlefield you see doesn't have a single body of the brothers, because the brothers don't leave corpses at all, and all the dead are eaten by those monsters. ”
Listening to Duan Qifeng's narration, Ning Yue's eyes seemed to see that tragic war, how desperate the five hundred Great Zhou forbidden army was in the face of this group of cannibalistic and unkillable monsters.
"What happened later?" Ning Yue's deep voice sounded, and her eyes were cold in an instant.
"I immediately ordered someone to send a military report to the imperial court, but ...... The new emperor ascended the throne, the first emperor was mourned, and at this juncture, my military report sank into the sea. However, I also thought of the previous communiqué of the imperial court, and thought of the Blood God Cult that appeared in the grassland.
The next afternoon, the group of monsters reappeared, perhaps because of the feast they had enjoyed on the first day, and there were more monsters than the previous day. This time, I dug a few large pits in front of me beforehand, and since the monster, I once again sent five hundred soldiers out of the city. One by one, these monsters rushed towards them as if they were crazy, humming and humming...... All in the trap.
I ordered my soldiers to shoot with bows and arrows, but they were not afraid. Moreover, the hands and feet of these monsters are extremely flexible, and they can climb up the big pit one foot deep. Then, I ordered ten thousand cannons to fire above the city gates, and under five rounds of artillery fire, the monsters were dying.
The monster in the distance fled back to the depths of the grassland, leaving the corpse in front of it. These days, monsters have come every day, more or less, less hundreds, more thousands. After more than a dozen encounters, I finally found some doorways.
These monsters are not afraid of archers and swordsmen, but they are afraid of fire and artillery. Moreover, their bodies are unusually strong, but they will die if they cut off their heads. Merely...... These monsters are getting stronger!"
"Getting stronger?" Ning Yue turned her head to look at Duan Qifeng's side face suspiciously, "How can you see it?"
"The first monsters were no different from people except that their limbs were longer and they landed on all fours. But then, their appearance changed, and their skin gradually became blue and thicker.
The corpses you see now are from yesterday, and if you look at these monsters, their skin is almost half thick. In the past, we had to cut off their heads, and one knife could cut off two, but now, three or four knives can cut off one. ”
Listening to Duan Qifeng's words, Ning Yue's eyes once again turned to the monster corpses in the distance, and sure enough, among the chaotic monsters, Ning Yue found that some monsters had actually grown horns.
Ning Yue could conclude that this group of monsters was the blood slaves transformed from the grassland Hulu. But these blood slaves are gradually mutating and even evolving. The Blood God is dead, and it is obvious that their changes cannot be caused by the Blood God. And the only one who can do this, Ning Yue thinks about it, and only Xuanyuan Ancient Emperor can come and go.
Could it be that the Immortal Emperor released the Xuanyuan Ancient Emperor? Ning Yue's face changed drastically, but she felt that it was unlikely. The ancient emperor Xuanyuan came back from the dead in order to pursue the immortal fate this time. From the root, he and the Immortal Emperor can be said to be endless.
If the Xuanyuan Ancient Emperor fell into the hands of the Immortal Emperor, how could the Immortal Emperor release him? However, if it wasn't for the Xuanyuan Ancient Emperor's handwriting, how could the scene in front of him be explained?
"This group of monsters alone is nothing to fear. The artillery of our forbidden army is not vegetarian either. However, this group of monsters is constantly getting stronger, which makes me very uneasy.
And...... I didn't dare to send scouts to investigate the number of monsters in depth, so after thinking about it, I still asked the Imperial Court to prepare earlier. And I think that these monsters are just scattered groups on the grassland, and in the depths of the grassland, there must be monsters with greater scale and terror strength!"
Duan Qifeng is worthy of being the pride of the military department, in just a few days, even if there is no exact intelligence, these monsters will be calculated to be eight or nine. After the words landed, Duan Qifeng jumped off the city tower, "Lord Wang, please come with me!"
Puzzled, he followed Duan Qifeng to the barracks again, the atmosphere in the camp seemed a little tense, if it was hot on the city wall, then the camp seemed to be deadly. Each warrior was full of nervousness and solemnity, either wiping his blade or sweating profusely.
"Bring them up!" Duan Qifeng said to the soldiers who were trotting, and the soldiers once again strode into the distance. After a while, seven or eight carts covered with black cloth were pushed out by more than a dozen soldiers.
In Ning Yue's puzzled eyes, Duan Qifeng slowly came to the first cart and lifted the black cloth on it.
"Roar-" A terrible roar sounded, as if it was sunlight in sight, and the monster in the cage instantly went crazy, violently slamming into the arm-thick wooden cage, and with the impact, the whole cart was shaking violently.
Seven or eight cages were filled with such monsters, their limbs were more than twice as long as normal people, and they landed on all fours, as if they were spiders. The face is hideous, all with green fangs.
Their movement is dominated by jumping, and the bounce is amazing. Ning Yue slowly came to the edge of the cage and looked at these rampaging monsters, "These are the monsters you caught......?
"No, they're not monsters we captured!" Duan Qifeng said lightly, his eyes revealing indescribable sadness, "They used to be my brothers!"
"What?" Ning Yue's eyes widened, and unbelievable horror erupted from her pupils. It's not that Ning Yue is so uncontrollable, but if Duan Qifeng's words are not different, then the terrifying thing about this batch of blood slaves is far beyond Ning Yue's expectations, and even makes Ning Yue think of Resident Evil.
At this moment, Ning Yue suddenly realized that the previous inference was not impossible, but very possible. It is very likely that the Immortal Emperor will release the Xuanyuan Ancient Emperor, and it is even very likely that it is the handiwork of the Immortal Emperor.
Because Ning Que once said that if the Immortal Emperor wanted to pick the immortal fruit of the Infinite Heavenly Monument, he had to cut off the connection between himself and the Infinite Heavenly Monument, and the only way to cut off the connection was to destroy the world.
When the world regresses back to the period of desolation and chaos, then the countless years of efforts of the Infinite Heavenly Monument will be in vain. Then the birth of the Immeasurable Heavenly Monument will end ahead of schedule, and the next round of creation will start again.
And the Immortal Emperor completely cut off the connection with the Infinite Heavenly Monument, and the identity of the survivors of the previous catastrophe helped the Infinite Heavenly Monument reopen the world. And once the catastrophe is destroyed, all the merits and demerits return to nothingness, and the world is created again, and the Immortal Emperor will rely on the immeasurable merit and the immortal fate nurtured by the immeasurable heavenly monument to achieve the immortal path.
