Time flies.

Five days later.

There are no clouds, the blue sky is like washing, and the gongs and drums in the county town are noisy, and it is very lively.

At this moment, in the city, there is a surging flow of people, and thousands of people are taking to the streets, gathering into a crowd of people.

There were crowds of people everywhere, as if all the people living in this big city had come out, men, women and children, most of them were elated, and their faces were enthusiastic and expectant to flock to the bazaar and incense temple, and the scene was extremely lively.

Today is the first day of the incense festival, and most of the people who have been frightened by the evil evil calamity for a whole year go out of their homes and go to the temple to worship in order to seek blessings and stay away from the calamity.

Chen Zheng also traveled back in time to experience such a grand festival for the first time, and took his men to start patrolling the city early.

There are people everywhere you look, especially when you pass by those incense temples, it is comparable to the surging crowd of people in the Spring Festival in the previous life, which is amazing.

There are a number of sacrificial temples in the city, among which the statue of the god who saves the suffering and helps the world is enshrined, the incense in the temple is very prosperous on weekdays, and today it is overcrowded, and the water is impassable.

Because of this, the major bazaars are near the Incense Temple, and there are defense soldiers responsible for maintaining order everywhere, Chen Zheng originally wanted to go to the Incense Temple to have a look, but from morning to afternoon, the flow of people in front of the temple has not been less, and he can only give up.

And so it went on until the evening.

"A lot of people ......"

At this moment, the sun is setting in the west, and the sky is overcast.

On top of a city tower, Chen Zheng stood with his hands in his hands, condescendingly scanning the brightly lit bazaar in the distance, quite emotional.

Because of the lantern display and fireworks at night, the number of people on the street has increased instead of decreasing, and some large restaurants and shops in the market have hung up colorful lanterns, hoping to please a good fortune.

It is only today that most of the people on the street look extremely relaxed and joyful, showing a rare smile.

"Deputy Envoy Chen."

After inspecting the city for a whole day, Chang Qing and others behind him invited politely:

"In the past three days, all the restaurants have closed late, and when the night is over, I will invite the adults to have a drink? I heard that there are a new batch of girls in Xiangyulou, and two of them are in very good condition......

The lad is very sensible.

Chen Zheng smiled:

"I'd love to go, but there's something going on in the evening, so let's go back next time."

The incense festival is equivalent to the New Year's Festival, he is no longer alone, Master Lei Yunting has already said that he will go back to the martial arts dojo to eat after the next duty, and naturally there is no time to wander at night.

Chang Qing and the others regretted a little, and they didn't ask much:

"Then I'll go when the adults are free."

Chen Zheng then asked, "I heard that many of the Teng clan's people withdrew yesterday, do you have any news?"

At the mention of this topic, the four of them were immediately extremely vigilant, and after looking around for a while, they were vigilant:

"The specific situation is not very clear, it seems that the people left in the state city of the Teng clan have not traced the traces of the target, and it is close to the New Year's Festival, so they have put some back, and I am afraid that these people who have come back will have to go again after the festival."

Chen Zheng nodded, "I know."

Chai Tiefeng said with a smile:

"My lord's move to move the water eastward is simply amazing, Teng's may not be able to imagine until he dies, what is going on with that weapon."

Chang Qing was curious and a little worried:

"My lord, I wonder who you asked to do this? There is one more person in the know, will it ......?"

Chen Zheng smiled:

"You don't have to worry about this, you can rest assured that it is reliable, and there is no possibility of leakage. When the New Year is over, you will stay with those who are willing to stay, and those who are not willing to go to other places and start anew, so as not to be afraid."

"That's what your lord said."

The four of them glanced at each other, and although they were full of curiosity, they didn't ask any more questions.

Then they continued their patrol until the sun went down and was all over the city

It was lively and peaceful, and nothing unusual happened.

And at this very moment.

Bell ——!

Bell ——!

Before the words fell, there was a sudden and urgent humming sound in the dark sky, as if some kind of alarm.

Hearing this voice, Chen Zheng's eyes on the city tower suddenly changed, and he suddenly turned his head and raised his eyes.

I saw that under the gloomy sky, in the direction of the cities in the distance, not only were urgent alarms echoing one after another, but at the same time, clusters of beacon fires were all lit up, which was extremely dazzling under the gloomy sky.

"This alarm ......"

Seeing this scene, Chang Qing and the others were all discolored:

"It's a demon from the wild!?"

As the alarm sounded, the ordinary people on the street, peddlers, pawns, pedestrians and merchants, suddenly panicked, and they were very experienced in finding places to hide, and suddenly there was a large area of chaos.

"Let's take a look!"

Chen Zheng, on the other hand, frowned, and his figure was galloping, running on the streets like a ghost, passing through the streets in a very short time.

Fortunately, the castle tower where they had just stayed was not too far from the beacon fire, and in less than a cup of tea, he passed through with ghostly speed and came to the vicinity of the city gate.

The towering city walls and billowing wolf smoke were in sight, and when they arrived here, the civilians on the street were basically gone, and they didn't know where to hide, only to see armor-clad soldiers everywhere, running up and down the city walls, revealing incomparable tension and slaughter:

Chen Zheng didn't say a word, and climbed the city wall with his identity jade card.

I saw heavy crossbows and artillery on the city wall, and next to these heavy ordnance, the soldiers with bows were even more tense, staring at the distance.

Following the sight of these soldiers, Chen Zheng immediately vaguely saw with his extraordinary eyesight that ten miles away from the city, under the gloomy sky, there was a vague and huge shadow winding ***, coming at a rapid speed.

Is that?

Chen Zheng's face changed suddenly.

That huge shadow revealed an indescribable evil and ominous, and it was a terrifying demon with a body of dozens of feet, resembling a centipede, with hundreds of gastropodes and bloody tentacles, and was heading in the direction of the city!

The remnant sun was like blood, the sky was dark, and between the black and red heaven and the earth, centipede-like giant demons flew through the sky, as if the demons of hell had descended into the world.

Damn, Elder Centipede?

Chen Zheng's eyelids couldn't help but jump fiercely.

In the past half a year, he has seen a lot of the viciousness of the evil demon, but no matter which one, it is a small one compared to the one in front of him, even the demon tree he saw in the deep mountains at the beginning is far from being compared with this flying centipede demon!

Evil, evil, fierce, he even suspected that this demon had surpassed the scope of evil!

"The Evil Priest, the Evil Priest is here!"

Just when Chen Zheng was secretly frightened, a noisy sound came from not far away, and as soon as he turned his eyes, he immediately saw a large group of figures with a strong temperament on the other side not far from the city wall quickly ascending the city wall.

The leader is Qin Weixin, as well as more than a dozen heavily armed senior evil cultivators.

As soon as they climbed the city wall and saw the scene in the distance, their faces became extremely solemn and solemn.

Chen Zheng rushed over as soon as possible, and before he could ask, he heard Qin Weixin say in surprise:

"It's a 'flying centipede'?! How did this brute come here?"

Flying centipedes?

Chen Zheng immediately asked in a low voice:

"Big ...... Deputy Lieutenant Qin, what is the origin of this demon?"

Without bothering to ask when Chen Zheng arrived, Qin Weixin's eyes were cold:

"This 'Flying Centipede' is an evil demon that was accidentally discovered by a caravan in the northern area of Guansha two years ago, when the caravan came from other states, led by a martial arts master himself, and most of the other more than ten entourages were also experienced martial arts masters, comparable to a fully armed elite army of 1,000 people.

However, after encountering this "flying centipede", the caravan was completely wiped out, and only that one martial arts master was left

Got out by luck, escaped, and reported it to the Evil Division, and entered it into the file. At that time, Si Li judged that this demon was the peak of the evil level, or even close to the fierce level!"

Vicious Peak......

Chen Zheng's heart sank.

The danger level of the evil demon is the lowest level, the danger is relatively controllable, as long as three or five martial arts masters work together, they can be controlled and solved.

When it reaches the evil level, it means that the danger level of the evil demon has risen sharply, and it is difficult for ordinary martial arts experts and even blood exchange masters to deal with it, and only martial arts masters in the Qi Refining Secret Realm can deal with it;

And the fierce demon is a terrible disaster that is rare in ten years, once it appears and is not stopped, it will inevitably affect the entire city, causing thousands of deaths and injuries!

This flying centipede is so terrifying, can Lingqiu County resist it?

The terrible crisis was imminent, Qin Weixin took a deep breath:

"Since receiving the report, the passing caravans have encountered this flying centipede in the northern area of Guanshan from time to time, all of them have suffered heavy casualties, and even no one survived, and it didn't take long for the merchants in the northern area of Guanshan to be basically cut off.

But since the discovery of this "flying centipede", this beast has been entrenched in the northern area of Guanshan and has not left for two years. And the county seat is nearly a thousand miles away from the north of Guanshan, it is hard to imagine that it actually wanders here! Old Five, you hurry back and inform ......."

Hiss –

At this moment, the sky in the line of sight became more and more dim and gloomy, and the flying centipedes in the distance were whistling, like a dark cloud from the Nine Hells, drifting between the black and red heaven and the earth, getting closer and closer to the city gate.

And as it approached, the huge body like a dragon, the pitch-black carapace, the gastropods flying all over the sky, the tentacles that were more than ten feet long and flying wildly, and the extremely distorted and ugly appearance, not only became clearer and clearer in everyone's field of vision, but also brought a sense of extreme horror.

The soldiers at the battlements of the city wall all turned pale when they saw this scene, and their hands holding the muskets and crossbows couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Five miles, three miles, two miles!

The speed of the flying centipede was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it floated close under the gloomy sky, and a series of turbulent and strange screams swept through its mouth, making people's scalps tingle.

"Attention all!"

At this time, there was a loud shout on the city wall, and a military attache was seen waving the order flag and roaring loudly:

"Fire! Fire!"

Boom Boom Boom!

In the next moment, on the city wall, the fire and cold light burst out continuously, like hundreds of thunderbolts bursting together, tearing apart the gloomy world!

Dense cannonballs and crossbow arrows crossed a distance of hundreds of feet in an instant, tearing through the air and roaring the heavens and the earth.

In just a moment, the air and ground in front of the city wall, nearly a mile in front of the city wall, suddenly exploded dozens of hundreds of fires and pits, billowing thick smoke and air waves fiercely impacted in all directions, plowing a large area of land.

With such a dense and ferocious firepower attack, the huge flying centipede naturally had no way to dodge, and it was drowned in thick smoke and fire when it landed, and only faintly heard bursts of thousands of stacks of terrifying screams.

The sound waves rolled and swept through the air, and the void shook violently like water waves.

Then, in the fierce bombardment and gunsmoke, the flying centipede seemed to be unhindered, just twisting and dancing wildly to break through the smoke, and flicked its tail towards the city!

Rumble!

It was as if a mountain of meat had pressed over, and Chen Zheng, Qin Weixin and others, who were close, were also pale and flew to dodge;

Then the huge tail struck the city wall, and the mountain shook for a while, and the wall collapsed in an instant, and more than a dozen sergeants screamed and fell in the air, buried in the earth and stones.

Whoosh!

Bang bang!

Then, under the angry roar of thousands of defense soldiers on the top of the city, the bowstring shook and the explosion of fire shots sounded like a storm, and the visible fire and arrow rain were like a downpour, shooting towards the extremely close flying centipede.

However.

Dingding.....

.

Like rain dripping on steel armor, the bombardment of artillery failed to hit such a terrifying monster hard, and the bow and crossbow projectiles like heavy rain were even more not, this terrifying monster was baptized by fire and was almost unscathed!

Boom Boom!!

The huge and hideous body of the flying centipede swept its tail, and the head of the city suddenly exploded and collapsed as if it had been bombarded by heavy artillery, and a large number of soldiers and soldiers were thrown away, torn apart, and turned into minced meat;

At the same time, its mouthparts, and even the tentacles extending from its tail, suddenly extended and flew out, spanning more than ten zhang, like a python eating people, finding the soldiers hiding at the mouths of each battlement, and suddenly poked out.

In an instant, at least twenty or so defense sergeants were suddenly pierced and rolled up by the hideous tentacles, and before they could struggle with all their might, their bodies violently shriveled and dissolved, and their bodies turned into black and cyan dry blood and bones on the spot!

"Save me, save me......."

"Ahh

"Brute, *** mother——!"

Such a terrifying scene took place in a very short period of time, and the soldiers who witnessed it were all terrified, or grieved, or roared.

In the face of such ferocity, Chen Zheng was cold-eyed, he had already pressed it insufficiently, and when he landed, the sound of the knife roared wildly, and the figure stepped up, and the sword light burst out like thunder!

Snort!

Although the comparison of body size is like that of an ant and a giant python, he burst out, and the sharp edge of the sword light was also unstoppable, and in an instant, he broke off the two sharp abdominal feet of the flying centipede that were one foot long, and took the place of its abdominal armor.

However, with a stabbing sound, this endless momentum seemed to be slashed on top of an indestructible steel carapace, and it was impossible to enter an inch after only three inches!

The Falling Star Moon Slashing Knife at the level of a human absolute soldier has encountered a flesh and blood body that cannot be cut off for the first time!

"What a brute!"

With a slash, in the wound that was neither deep nor shallow, the stinking dark green blood spurted out, obviously with extremely terrifying toxicity or corrosiveness, Chen Zheng couldn't help but look awe-inspiring, and quickly retreated.
