Chapter 498: Empty City
Along the way, they talked and talked about going from Zhongzhou to Jingzhou, and the group went to the Southern Regions.
As long as they encountered a city along the way, Qin Yang and the others tried to avoid it, unless they needed to replenish food or something. Because whenever he learned that His Majesty Emperor Qin and Qin Yang and others were coming, the local people would definitely be in a hurry to receive them. First, I don't want to disturb the people, and second, everyone can't stand that kind of red tape. In this way, Qin Yang is even more glad that his father has established Qin Xing as the successor of the dynasty, which is simply taking care of Qin Yang.
Now when you arrive in the southern region, you will see the reckless green mountains stretching for thousands of miles, and the scene is spectacular. The rain was abundant, the air was moist, the trees were greener, and the number of strange beasts increased.
It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, this was the favorite paradise of the world's demon beasts, because the Demon Emperor protected his people here, and even the Demon Emperor and the Ghost Emperor could not set foot here. The "root" of the demon clan in the Qianyuan World is here.
"The environment is very good. Ying Qing said excitedly, "It's almost the same as our trial desolate, there are flowers and plants everywhere." ”
Zhou Heling said lukewarmly: "That's because you haven't encountered the demon clan and powerful beasts yet. Someone has said that although there are few strange beasts in the Holy Domain in the Qianyuan World. But if there is a strange beast above the Great Saint level, it is not in the deep sea, but in the southern region. ”
Because the land in the Northern and Western Regions is barren and cannot support the long-term survival of super-large alien beasts, it is difficult to supply food alone. Therefore, if there is such a strange beast there, it can only keep coming out to prey, and sooner or later it will be discovered and hunted by the strong people of the human race or the demon race.
And in the deep sea or the reckless southern region, even if there is that kind of powerful beast, it can still quietly forage, and it is all inaccessible and not easy to be detected.
Xia Longxing echoed, "I have heard that there have even been earthworms here that have reached the lower grade level of the Holy Domain. It's really unimaginable that even such a low-level life can quietly grow to this state. ”
Earthworms in the Sanctuary, what would that look like...... Of course, once these powerful beasts are discovered, they often mean they are destroyed. The Terrans need their blood and souls, and the Demons need them. Although the demon clan can't draw battle totems through this, they can devour the souls of alien beasts or directly drink powerful essence blood to assist in cultivation.
However, Qin Yang smiled indifferently and said, "Is it unusual to have a low-grade earthworm in the Sacred Domain? I also have an ant at the peak of the Sacred Domain, and now I am moving towards the Saint King level." ”
Zhou Heling immediately retorted: "Ants in the starry sky, can they be called ants? The life in the infinite starry sky is a very peculiar existence. Besides, even the ants on the ground have a higher health level than earthworms. ”
Somehow, Zhou Heling always seems to like to talk back to Qin Yang, even if it's similar to these little things.
Qin Zheng said with a smile: "Let's talk about these things later, let's rush to Ape Mountain City as soon as possible, and after taking it, continue to the south and reach the Ten Thousand Demon Cave." Ape Mountain City is the royal city of the Southern Regions, and after taking it, strive to capture the Little Ape King, and the entire Southern Regions will be conquered in form, and the Great Qin Dynasty will be regarded as a unified Qianyuan. ”
Now occupying Saruyama City is the Little Ape King, and the Holy Ape Fury who assists him. It is said that there are not many remnants of the ape clan, and they were also taken to the Ten Thousand Demon Cave by the Holy Ape Wounds, so the defense in the city should be very weak.
The journey to the south was 2,000 miles, which took three times as long as Kyushu, or nearly three days. First, the terrain of the mountains is not easy to walk, and secondly, they are often attacked by demons or alien beasts along the way.
The two largest attacks, one from a hundred-person clan of the demon clan. The strength of the team was low, and Qin Zheng wiped them out with a few slaps. The second time came from a group of giant crocodiles, blocking everyone's way. But in general, the existence that can really cause trouble for these strong people has not yet appeared.
Two thousand miles later, there is a massive stone town, perched on a flat peak. The nearby mountains are all low, but this 700-zhang high peak is the most revered.
Easy to defend and difficult to attack.
In particular, cavalry warbands like the Blade of Samsara have a harder time galloping up steep mountain roads. Therefore, the team stayed for the time being, and Qin Zheng, Qin Yang, and Bai Qi, the three masters, went up the mountain alone. Even if you find something wrong, at least you can easily return to it.
Rising in the air, the three of them went straight to Saruyama Castle at the top of the mountain, fully guarded. Even when it was outside the city, Qin Zheng only released the second battle spirit to invade first and investigate the situation inside. Even if the second battle spirit is defeated, at least there will be no casualties.
However, when the Second Battle Spirit flew over Ape Mountain City, Qin Zheng's face was a little surprised.
"Empty city!" Qin Zheng was a little puzzled, "not only are there no guards in the city, but there are also no people in the city. Although the demon clan is basically a soldier, and there are many people who are taken away by the Great Ape King and the Holy Ape, there should always be some royal city guards and old and weak women and children left. ”
Qin Yang and Bai Qi were both a little surprised, and they couldn't help but wonder if there was fraud.
It wasn't until Qin Zheng's second battle spirit searched for a long time that he finally determined that this place was really almost empty. Only in the westernmost part of the city were some of the sick, old and infirm found.
Only with such a weak demon clan, the three of them naturally no longer have any fears. Qin Zheng ordered Bai Qi to pack up his team at the foot of the mountain and take over the demon royal city, while the father and son entered the city directly. Inside, the gates were opened, and then they went straight to the slums to the west of the city.
"This is the so-called Demon Clan King City, and it belongs to the strongest ape clan among the demon clan. Qin Yang couldn't help but sigh, "Although the area is large enough, the building regulations inside are too simple." Look, the stone hall in the center should be the palace of the Great Ape King, and the scale is really small. ”
Qin Zheng pursed his lips: "The demon clan has always been not good at management, and the number of people reproducing is so small, how can there be huge material and manpower to build the royal city." Of course, the Terrans have gone too far in this regard, extravagant and extravagant and wasteful. ”
As for the area of the slum, Qin Yang felt even more miserable. Even some second-class cities of the Terran race are far richer than here. No wonder Princess Changle was almost married here, and she was scared like that. Fortunately, this girl married Qin Xing, and she simply fell into a nest of blessings in comparison. You must know that it is true that she used to be the princess of Great Xia, but in the future, she may even become the queen of Great Qin, and her identity is even more respectful. A person's fate is so unpredictable.
Before coming to the slum, Qin Yang saw low and dilapidated wooden houses, leaking on all sides. Although the weather in the southern region is hot and cold, the lack of protection from the rain on the roof is an unavoidable problem.
The survival of the demon clan has always been so difficult.
In a wooden house, an old woman with white hair was lying on the bed sickly, as if she could no longer get out of bed. The apes have relatively few features, and even if they are placed among the humans, they are considered to be of medium stature - when she was young, of course. If you look at it with the aesthetics of the ape family, you should be considered a beauty when you are young.
Beside him was a boy of seven or eight years old who looked like a little monkey, who was serving here, perhaps the old woman was his grandmother or grandmother.
Seeing two seemingly noble human races coming in, the little boy of the demon clan suddenly showed a look of fear, but there was a bit of fierceness in the fear.
