Chapter 629: Rumors
Situ Yu finished breakfast, and as soon as he went out, he heard rumors spread on the street. During this time, Fish Tears City was also relatively chaotic, and the thieves of the black-robed organization outside the city attacked the city once, but they were thwarted by the county guard Situ Jiangnan.
"There is a plague on the southwestern border, and it is rumored that the barbarians are also showing signs of invasion." The rumor was spread by a man who resembled a dock boatman, and although he was dressed in sackcloth, he was not a worker.
Situ Yu is too lazy to care, this kind of person naturally has someone from the county guard to deal with. It was what the man said that caught his attention.
Now the court is worried about internal and external troubles, the foreign races in the north have gone south, and the governors of the court in the southwest are dead.
Now if the thieves collude with the barbarians again, the trouble will be even more difficult to deal with.
"What you said is too scary, the county guard just sent a message in the morning, saying that the thieves in the southwest have been defeated and have fled into the mountains." Someone was heckling nearby.
"Can you believe the words of the imperial court?" The man sneered, and then took out a blood-stained animal skin from his bosom.
As soon as it was taken out, it emitted a strong foul smell.
"This thing in my hand is the hide that my brother brought back from the southwest. This thing is so fierce on weekdays that three or five heroes can't hurt it, but now? No, they died of the plague. As he spoke, the man's face turned smug.
When the others heard him say this, they hurriedly retreated, whether it was true or not, everyone was still afraid of the plague.
"I'll tell you, that's not all, our big Chen world is rotten to the bone now, just southwest of our Fish Tears City, there are monsters infested."
"It's really fake!" As soon as these words came out, they really scared people. For the masses next to them, whether it is a foreign race in the north or a rebellion in the southwest, it is very far away from them.
But the monsters outside the city can be seen and touched, and they are likely to hurt them.
"Of course it's true, when I went into the mountains with my brother the day before yesterday, I saw a pheasant more than three meters tall with two stone hammers in both hands. The black blind man, who was more than two meters tall, was hammered to death by that chicken! As he spoke, the man took out a steel-like feather from his bosom, and when he took it out, he struck the stone next to him with it, and it made a sound of 'Peng Peng'.
"See, this hair fell from the tail of the bald chicken." Bald chickens? Situ Yu's heart sank.
During this time, there was also a lot of news from other places within the county watchman's office, and several of them were about the 'Pheasant Rebellion'.
Some pheasants that mutated for unknown reasons began to wreak havoc in the territory, especially the ones at the source, which were even more exaggerated.
I heard that there have been official demon masters who have died at the hands of these pheasants.
"The world is getting more and more chaotic, and all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods have emerged." After Situ Yu waved his hand and left a mark on the man who spread the rumors, he turned around and left.
He also had to go to find his cousin Mu Qianxi. Before, because of the thief chaos, Mu Qianxi has been isolated in the side of Fish Tears City, and for some reason recently, he has been mixed up with Li Weiwei.
In peacetime, he doesn't bother to care, but now that chaos will break out at any time, he still brings people with him for safety.
It's really not good, he can still take his relatives to take refuge in the Immortal Temple.
"And the eldest sister ......" Thinking of the eldest sister Situ Mingyue, Situ Yu's face couldn't help but flash a trace of worry.
The eldest sister Situ Mingyue has been missing for more than half a month, and there is no news so far. In order to find someone, he had already begged Senior Brother Cui, hoping to have news.
Wu Chong did help him find someone. As the eldest daughter of the county guard, Situ Mingyue is also responsible for the security of Fish Tears City, so she has been targeted very early.
More than a month ago, Situ Mingyue was ambushed by the demon master of the Immortal Valley and taken to Guyang City in the process of an investigation.
This is the second important big city in the central region after the city of fish tears. The officials guarding here are not as determined as Situ Jiangnan, and they have secretly taken refuge in Qiuxian Valley not long ago, but they are still on the side of the imperial court on the surface.
In addition to the local officials, the imperial court also has a demon master similar to the Netherworld, and until these forces are eradicated, the general trend of Guyang City will not be chaotic.
Situ Yu's eldest sister Situ Mingyue was locked up here. Outside Guyang City, on the official road about two kilometers away from the city.
Peng! A blood-stained corpse fell on top of the official car, and the supplies transported on the box were scattered to the ground.
Behind them were lying all over the place, and vultures squatted on ancient trees in the distance, quietly waiting for a delicious meal in the near future.
These people were all people in Guyang City who were loyal to the imperial court. In the case of the betrayal of the county guards of Guyang City, the people of Qiu Xiangu easily mastered their entry and exit time and route, which led to this accurate attack.
"This is the last batch, right?" A shirtless man walked to the corpse of the general who was finally solved by him, picked up the opponent's corpse, took off the armor on the opponent's body and draped it on his body.
"The clothes of the dead are also robbed!" The accomplices behind him looked at him with disgust.
"Lao Tzu was originally born as a bandit, and he can't compare to you noble-born uncles." The man sneered.
But before he could speak, the expression on the face of the person next to him suddenly changed. From disgust to horror, then ...... Peng!
His head was like a balloon, first congested, then rapidly enlarged, and finally exploded into powder.
Brains were splattered with blood droplets everywhere, and headless corpses lay aside, blood pouring out.
"Who?" This change made everyone in the audience react. One by one, they drew their weapons, and the leaders also summoned their own contract demons.
"I'll find someone." The pale 'Cui Da' walked out of the shadows. It is the master of Wu who came out to do things, and his body is borrowed from the corpse to resurrect the soul, and it is still within the rules of this world.
came out to do something that could increase his influence, so that when Situ Yu's 'World Origin' was destroyed by him in the future, he would be able to inherit the inheritance smoothly.
In the inheritance of this piece. He's professional!
"Up!" A few people next to him suddenly flew over, and the people in the distance quickly dispersed and shot arrows at him.
These people are well-trained masters, and they can quickly form a formation without too many words.
"The means of this world, I want to think about it......" Wu Chong thought for a while, and waved his hand to summon his contract demon.
A huge vulture flew out of his hand, and as soon as it came out, it trampled the people who rushed to the front to the ground, and then the thing raised its head arrogantly, and a pair of fleshy wings hammered its chest like a wild bear, and let out a long roar.
"......" Wu Chong looked at this idiot with disgust. The other people next to him were also suppressed by this contract demon that suddenly appeared, and the most exaggerated thing was that those arrows missed, and when they hit the monster, they were automatically bounced away.
"What kind of demon is this?" The most ferocious man before stepped back vigilantly and looked at Wu Chong with a wary expression, mainly because the demon he summoned was too exaggerated, so they had to switch from offense to defense.
"It seems to be...... Vulture? ”
