Chapter 29: Mutation
At this time, the city was already in chaos, there were cries and screams everywhere, and the whole Pingnan City could be seen everywhere with corpses, and the mourning was continuous, which was really miserable.
Lu Shaocheng took a closer look, and there was a strong fishy smell, which almost made him vomit. The people who died suddenly had their skin turned green at the moment, and several of them were still struggling in pain, they were either foaming at the mouth, or they were delirious, and their eyes were white, but they gradually lost their movement, most of them had suffered accidents.
Lu Shaocheng couldn't believe his eyes, when he left Pingnan City in the morning, everything was still in a festive atmosphere, and in just half a day, such a great change had taken place in the city.
The sudden change made Lu Shaocheng surprised, the originally lively street suddenly fell into a dead silence, and the whole Pingnan City was like an abandoned city, without any warning, and the disaster came so hastily.
Because of this, the damage in the city was extremely heavy, and Lu Shaocheng suddenly found that there were two obvious wounds on the calf of a middle-aged strong man who had been dead for a long time, which were regular and round, and looked like something had bitten them.
The wound was bubbling outward, emitting a puff of green smoke, accompanied by a burst of foul smell, Lu Shaocheng subconsciously pinched his nose, picked up a branch, and opened the man's trouser leg, Lu Shaocheng found that his skin had become hard, as hard as a rock, no wonder these people remained the same after death.
Some of these people still have in their hands what they have just bought, and they are in various ways of dying, and this mutation has come so unsuspectingly that many have no chance of survival.
Suddenly, a sharp roar sounded overhead, and Lu Shaocheng suddenly raised his head, it was actually a disciple of Tianluomen who came with a magic weapon, presumably because he learned the news of the abnormal changes in the city, so he hurried to the world to help find out the truth.
Just when Lu Shaocheng was about to bow his head, the voice and shadow of the last person in Tianluomen seemed to be similar, and Lu Shaocheng suddenly remembered, wasn't this the man who met Mo Ningfan in the forest outside the city? It turned out that he was actually a disciple of Tianluomen.
Lu Shaocheng originally tried to forget this memory, but he was pulled up when he had to, he stared at the figures of everyone passing by, and his vision was a little hazy.
He is so young but has such cultivation, and compared to himself, he is so good, no wonder she has a heart. No wonder she has never looked at herself once, maybe it's not that she is not good, it's because she can't tolerate others in her heart.
Lu Shaocheng comforted himself in his heart, he only cared about emotion, but he didn't know that the danger behind him was approaching step by step, and in a moment, the upper bunks on both sides of the street were already covered with some small lizards with scarlet eyes.
At this moment, Lu Shaocheng, who was staring at him unaware, spit out the letter, these lizards moved very fast, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of lizards had formed an encirclement, and Lu Shaocheng was still immersed in speculation about that Tianluomen disciple.
The hundreds of lizards suddenly jumped up one by one, greedily opened their bloody mouths, and pounced on the defenseless Lu Shaocheng.
Suddenly, a dazzling white mang fell from the sky, and landed directly behind Lu Shaocheng, setting off a huge wave of qi, where Bai Mang went, these lizards retreated several feet away, not daring to take a step closer.
Lu Shaocheng was also taken aback by this sudden white light, and after he fixed his eyes, he found that a sword was actually inserted straight into the ground behind him, and the white light was emitted by this sword.
"Friend, if you were killed by these poisonous lizards just now, you would have died!" A young man's voice came from behind him, Lu Shaocheng looked for prestige, and saw a young man of his age standing on the roof, he was wearing a white patterned dress, a gold silk and black belt around his waist, and a scabbard behind him, at this moment he was looking at Lu Shaocheng on the ground and said loudly.
"Thank you for the rescue, I was out of my mind just now, thanks to your help, what should I call you?" Lu Shaocheng raised his head and said very politely.
The young man smiled slightly, then lightly stepped his feet, flew down from the roof, landed firmly on the ground, and then recited a spell in his mouth, and with a sharp lift of his hand, the sword turned into a white light and fell back into its scabbard.
Only then did Lu Shaocheng realize that the young man in front of him had slightly dark skin, but his big eyes were extremely bright, the young man's sword eyebrows raised slightly, and he said with a smile: "My name is Xiang Shaosi, and I am a disciple of Tianluomen Yuding Mountain!
Lu Shaocheng looked at the poisonous lizards behind him, and his heart was stunned for a while, if there was no young man to rescue him just now, he would probably have lost his life, he hurriedly said: "My name is Lu Shaocheng, I am a disciple of the Tianxia Gang, I happened to come back from the city, because I had something on my mind just now, so I didn't notice it, thank you for helping."
Xiang Shaosi nodded slightly and said: "I just saw that you were a little distracted, I was afraid that you would suffer this misfortune, it was just a gesture, we couldn't stay here for a long time, we just happened to go to the world to help, just go together."
After Xiang Shaosi finished speaking, he picked up the sword again, pulled Lu Shaocheng to jump up together, and took Lu Shaocheng to fly towards the sky of the world.
In the Tianxia Gang, there was already the head of Tianluomen Yuding Mountain Cangfeng and his disciples who were discussing with Zhao Songming the source of the strange things in the city.
Cang Feng's face was extremely solemn at this moment, he sighed heavily, and said: "This change in the city is really strange, since the Demon Realm Passage was sealed a hundred years ago, the Dahong Dynasty has been safe!
"Master Cangfeng, I can't hide it, such a tragedy happened in the city in the afternoon, I immediately sent my disciples to investigate, those poisonous lizards seem to have been deliberately released, so I have ordered my disciples to sprinkle demon slayer powder in the city, and many poisonous lizards have disappeared in other places in the city!" Zhao Songming said with a guilty face.
"According to the clues provided by your Tianxia Gang last time, we have also gone to the vicinity of the cave peak to check, there are indeed many traces of demonic beasts coming and going, and there are even masters from our continent participating in it!
"Cangfeng is in charge, the younger generation thinks that the tragedy that happened in the city this time is very likely to be someone from the demon clan, a hundred years ago in the battle between good and evil, although Gu Yue was seriously injured, but he failed to abolish his magic energy bead, this is likely to be a precursor to Gu Yue's comeback, of course, these are just the humble opinions of the younger generation" Zhao Songming respectfully said his guess for many days.
"Your analysis is very reasonable, if it weren't for someone in the Dahong Dynasty colluding with the Demon Realm, how could the Demon Realm passage on the other side of the cave peak be opened! If we find out who did it, we will not tolerate it!" Cang Feng was obviously a little angry, and his body was trembling with anger.
At this time, Xiang Shaosi and Lu Shaocheng also rushed to the Tianxia Gang, and the two did not dare to alarm everyone, so they quietly slipped in from the side.
Lu Shaocheng saw the young man who was secretly dating Mo Ningfan at a glance, and he asked softly, "Young Master, who is the person behind the head of Cangfeng who is dressed in white and holding a hammer in his hand?"
"Oh, he is Shangguan Haoxuan, he is the highest cultivation among many disciples, he has just turned nineteen this year, and he has already cultivated to the Zhenggang realm, he is the person I admire the most among the senior brothers" Xiang Shaosi said with some pride, and a look of worship flashed in his eyes.
Lu Shaocheng sighed slightly after hearing this, and then stopped making a sound, but his heart was like a roaring wave.
"Master Cangfeng, what should we do now?" Zhao Songming asked cautiously.
Cang Feng pondered for a moment and said: "The head of this matter is entrusted to me, what I mean is that each faction selects five proud disciples to track down the hiding place of these poisonous lizards, and maybe they can find out who is behind the control of them!"
"Everything is under the orders of the master, and the world will help the disciples at any time! Without further ado, we will draw up a candidate!" The tragic situation in the city made Zhao Songming's heart ache, the small city that was stable and peaceful in the past was unrecognizable after a catastrophe, and the demons were troubled, and they couldn't sit idly by.
