Chapter 9 Famine sentient beings, evil thieves pour fuel on the fire
However, it is said that the four secret agents escaped from the Holy Light City overnight, endured the pain and ran to Heming Town, and the quail fire also came all the way, and the five of them met in the Starry Night Inn in the town. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info Quail Fire blamed the four secret agents and said: "You are too anxious, just find out Huang Jue's residence, and now startle the snake, so that it will be more difficult for us to assassinate Huang Jue in the future." The Winged Fire Serpent retorted: "Then what do you say? Do you want to see the calamity being resolved? The sooner you start, the better! We belong directly to Lord Xuanfang, and it is not your turn to point fingers!" The quail was furious: "Okay, anyway, I didn't ask you to send you to death! Brother Xuanfang can't blame me, if you want to find death, it seems that this injury is not enough!" The Winged Fire Snake also got angry: "We act according to our own orders, what kind of mouth do you have? Just do a good job of guarding!" Quail Fire replied: "I have no obligation to protect your stubbornness, A stinky snake who doesn't care about the overall situation!" both sides are already tense, their eyes are bloodshot, and they are about to fight.
The worm hurriedly mediated: "Okay, okay, it's all your own family, why bother to turn your eyes on this? The wolf has no ambition and messes up with himself, this really shouldn't be, shake hands and make peace." The Winged Fire Serpent suddenly changed its face and gently apologized to Quail Fire: "It's me who is too impulsive, don't take it to heart." After that, I went back to my room to heal. Most of the quail's anger was gone, and he asked for a pot of wine and began to pour it violently. When the other three spies saw that they had reconciled, they took their leave to Quail and went back to their rooms to heal their wounds.
On the second day, August 27, at noon, in the largest restaurant in Heming Town, the cyclamen Jia Jin Maoxiang[1] was holding a banquet for his daughter Jin Yuzhu[2], and he took over the entire second floor, set up several tables of food and drink, and a large group of relatives and friends. Jin Yuzhu looked unhappy, she felt that her father's move was extravagant and wasteful, and it was useless to the national economy and people's livelihood, so it was better to subsidize the poor people who were homeless on the streets.
Jin Maoxiang wore his most precious gold silk robe that day, laughed and said to his daughter: "Be happy, baby daughter, today is your adult day, and at the end of the banquet, we will start your ceremony, don't embarrass me." Jin Yuzhu still can't be happy, she is already twenty years old, but she has never been out of Heming Town, although she looks like a lady. But Jin Yuzhu doesn't want to be a good girl for the rest of her life, and then end up with a husband and children, she wants to live a wandering ranger life.
A quarter of an hour later, the banquet began, and Jin Mao Xiang made an opening speech: "Friends in business, thank you very much for coming to the coming-of-age ceremony of the little girl, I am grateful, I hope that everyone here today will have a good meal." The guests greeted Jin Maoxiang and began to eat and drink, but Jin Maoxiang didn't move his chopsticks much, he was thinking about how to get congratulatory gifts from the guests. After eating for less than half an hour, the guests suddenly turned blue, clutched their stomachs, fell to the ground, and screamed in pain. Someone questioned Jin Maoxiang: "You won't poison us in the meal today, right?" Jin Maoxiang was shocked: "Friends, I have no such intention here, I'll ask the shopkeeper." After that, Jin Maoxiang rushed to the front desk and asked the shopkeeper: "What the hell is going on? My guests are all suffering from food poisoning! Are your ingredients not fresh?" The shopkeeper hurriedly explained: "Guest, our ingredients are absolutely fresh." However, several guests who dined on the first floor also showed symptoms of poisoning, and we have already reported it to the official, and we have just been here. It has been verified that the meals are infiltrated with violent scorpion venom. "What?" Jin Maoxiang was shocked. "Scorpion venom? This is impossible! Can my friends still be saved?" the shopkeeper sighed and said, "If you can invite a famous doctor Huang Jue in half an hour, it may be too late, otherwise you can only collect their corpses." Jin Maoxiang heard this, and hurriedly rushed out of the restaurant and rushed towards the Holy Light City.
By this time, the cyclamen was in disarray, and the guests were rolling on the ground with their stomachs clutched, accompanied by violent vomiting. Jin Yuzhu was depressed and did not enter the rice, so she was not poisoned. She took advantage of the chaos to disguise herself as a man, jumped out of the window and fled home, packed up some entanglements, hid a pair of halberds that she had secretly learned to use for more than ten years, hurriedly walked out of Heming Town, looked south and left, before leaving, Jin Yuzhu turned back and said: "Father, my daughter is not good, I can't accompany you for a lifetime, after all, we are not of one heart and one mind." ”
Speaking of Jin Maoxiang, he went straight to the Holy Light City Renxinzhai non-stop, and saw many poisoned people staggering along the way, he intercepted a young man and asked, "Little brother, are you also poisoned?" The man covered his stomach and replied: "Don't mention it, when I was eating lunch at home, I suddenly felt a cramping pain in my abdomen, and then I began to vomit, and now I am holding on to go to Huangjue Divine Doctor to see a doctor." Alas, I just heard that there is a fraud gang in Cold Ice City, and now even food safety cannot be guaranteed, and the future of the Mixed Yuan Continent is worrying!" After speaking, he continued to stagger towards the Holy Light City. Jin Maoxiang showed a malicious smile, he was ready to make a fortune.
However, the poison is far more than that, about half of the ordinary people in the entire Mixed Yuan Continent have been poisoned by the scorpion poison, a total of more than 50,000 people, and the Holy Light City Lord Xingluo, the Cold Ice City Lord Bingling, the Red Fire City Lord Nu Yan, and the Gale Wind City Lord Lan Tao have all ordered a thorough investigation into the matter. The initiator, Mura, is stealing fun in the Stormy Desert, while the two-tailed giant scorpion plunges its two giant tails into the ground, destroying the soil, and the venom is flowing rapidly in the leylines. The Holy Spirit Protectors scattered to the towns under their rule to pacify the people, and the famous doctor Huang Jue began to treat poisoned people, receiving no less than hundreds of sick people in a day, and he was also trying to find good seeds that could grow in a highly toxic environment.
Guangfeng, who is also the chief farmer, rushed to the farmland to check, and the seedlings had all withered and could not be harvested. Guangfeng was shocked and sighed: "It's over, the calamity has come, the people take food as the sky, we must seek justice for the common people!" Mura is not idle for a moment, the food has been contaminated, his next step is to pollute the water source, the ghost river and the Mingxin Lake will not escape. Mulla and the people of God's family need not worry, the provisions on the Great Holy Statue are enough for ten years.
The same is true of the farmland of the rest of the tribes, where the seedlings are like frosted eggplants, lifeless. The bad news spread quickly, and the residents of the Mixed Yuan Continent panicked and fled with their families. Quail Fire and the four spies witnessed the panicked fleeing of the civilians, and they only watched the fire from the other side, bringing enough supplies anyway. Ren Qing and Xuan Yu also saw all this through the Water Mirror and the Sky Mirror, and the two laughed: "This group of ants, run away as much as you want! Soon there will be a tragic scene of cannibalism." "The black lights on the Lighthouse of the Four Seas cover the entire sea area, the tower owners and demon kings intend to monopolize the marine resources for their own enjoyment, and Mai Jing is good at filtering seawater into fresh water, so the four sea demon kings and the lord of the four towers have no worries about eating and drinking.
What about Oranmu and the Dry Evil? They have already stored enough food for more than ten years, and have treated it with poison beads, and fresh water can be obtained from glacial meltwater, and the snow water in the extremely cold land and the southwest plateau cannot be obtained in a short time. The evil man also ordered the werewolves who had transformed themselves to take advantage of the chaos to attack the refugees, and wolf venom and scorpion venom coexisted, so there was no need to be afraid. The upper echelons of the beast clan also did not care about the lives of the people, only cared about demarcating the noble hunting grounds, and treated the grain with poison beads, that is, they did not open the warehouse to release the grain. It's a pity that the poison beads are not in the hands of the righteous people, otherwise the traitors would not be so rampant.
Since the Peony Soul returned to Langji City, the capital of the Shadow Clan, he has been silent for more than ten days, and when the people were in extreme panic, he struck again. "Great, this time my hatred of peonies is going to play a big role, they grow when they see poison!Go, little cuties, let these ants kill each other!" With that, he jumped into the air, shook his sleeves, and a large number of peony seeds flew to various places, germinated when they entered the soil, and after absorbing the toxin, they grew faster, and soon the fragrance was compelling. But this aroma can make those who smell it hate the people around them, arouse evil thoughts in their hearts, and kill people when they see them, and only those who possess magic can resist. The other three Ghost Shadow Heavenly King Demon Domain Nine-Tails, Man Tingfang, and Du Ruier were very unhappy, and they all complained: "You kid actually enjoys this pleasure alone, no, we must also intervene in this chaos!" Peony Soul smiled: "You are also in a hurry? It's a pity, your tricks are not suitable for playing with these refugees, just watch the show on the side! ”
When the fleeing civilians arrived in a wasteland, they suddenly smelled a refreshing aroma and hurriedly stopped: "What does this smell like? Are we saved?" As a result, these people's eyes began to turn red, their faces showed fierce expressions, and they fought, and there was really a tragic scene of cannibalism. Coupled with the fact that the evil ordered the werewolves to take the opportunity to carry out a surprise attack, this time the cannibalism was even more tragic. In an instant, the wasteland was covered with white bones, and only werewolves were left looking for their lone prey.
The wolf clan launched a large army, taking advantage of the chaos to the southeast to plunder the territory, Yin Wolf led a thousand wolf soldiers to play the vanguard, and the soldiers approached the Red Fire City, and the situation was out of control. On the one hand, Nu Yan ordered people to help the victims, and on the other hand, he went out of the city to meet the enemy. Nu Yan shouted: "What is the intention of the Ru clan to take advantage of this famine to provoke war?" Yin Wolf laughed and said: "The famine is just the fuse, my king learned that the dagger of resentment was lost here, so he sent me to look for it." Furious: "Nonsense! You don't want to step into our territory for half a step! The Fire Raven Army is dispatched!" Three thousand Fire Raven soldiers rushed out of the city, led by the two brothers, Fire Tree and Silver Flower. "Oh, that's all your strength, I'll play with you!" the wolf was about to swing up, when suddenly a carrier pigeon landed on his shoulder, and a letter was strapped to his foot. The yin wolf was shocked: "This is the pigeon that I passed on with the ghost wolf, is there something wrong with the rear?" He untied the letter on the pigeon's feet, opened it and looked at it, sure enough, it read: "The four clans of fierce bear, snake cultivator, golden lion, and giant eagle formed an alliance to take advantage of the emptiness of the capital to seize the wolf's ambition, and the king ordered us to hurry back to the army to rescue." After seeing it, the yin wolf ordered the whole army to retreat, turned around and left, and forgot to leave even the cruel words. Nu Yan was puzzled and had to collect his troops and return to the city. Under the Moon Wolf City, the four patriarchs Shi Man, Xiong Yu, Snake City, and Eagle Bell led the allied forces to scold and fight, and the spirit refining could not come out, waiting for the five fierce generals of the Nether, Hades, Yin, Dark, and Flower Faces to come to help.
Besides, on the side of Langji City, the Four Heavenly Kings of Ghost Shadows are ready to pour out of the nest, and it has become a ritual for the Peony Soul to use the marked silver needles to decide where they should go to cause trouble. The Peony Soul sent four silver needles to the map in a row, and the result was decided, the strongest Demon Domain Nine-Tails went to Ice City, the second strongest Man Tingfang went to the Storm Desert, the Peony Soul who was good at assassination went to the Holy Light City, and the demon-possessed Durrell went to the Gale Clan. These four people have their own strengths, not to mention the peony soul, his silver needle is unparalleled in the world, and he makes a good long whip; the earth-shattering laughter of the nine tails of the demon domain is very good, his laughter can make the person who hears it die instantly, make good use of a pair of golden hammers, and there is the soul of the nine-tailed turtle Tao Zongwang sealed in the body; Man Tingfang enjoys the reputation of a chopstick killer and scissor killer, with a pair of iron chopsticks and an artifact silver leaf scissors, he has killed countless people; Du Ruier can transform into a monster of the same name, a huge eight-legged monster worm, with amazing destructive power. The blood struggle of the beast clan is about to begin, and the four heavenly kings of the ghost shadow have all been dispatched, I don't know what will happen, and look at the next decomposition.
