Outside Tsz Yun Village, in the wilderness.

The moonlight was cold, like a spring, and the silver light covered the earth.

With a rustling sound, the footsteps of several people stepped over, overwhelming the weeds growing on the side of the road.

"Hall Master, ...... over here"

A muffled voice rang out.

In the moonlight, Li Yu walked to the edge of the village near the river and raised his eyes to look around.

But seeing the surrounding trees and black shadows, it was like one behemoth after another squatting in this remote mountain villa.

On the other side of the river, a path that leads to a nearby valley is particularly lonely in the light night breeze, the murmuring of the water, and the rustle of the leaves.

Two subordinates of the Demon Suppression Division surrounded him, saluted under the vigilant gaze of Xue An and Li Ya, and reported: "We went in to take a look before, and found signs of people coming and going, and in the valley, there are actually some houses......

In some rural areas, in order to take care of fruit trees and mountain treasures, some houses will be built in remote places, but they will not be built very well.

Moreover, there are many wild beasts in the mountains, and generally speaking, they will not choose too remote places.

But the pattern here seems to be deliberately avoiding people's eyes.

Li Yu pondered, and listened to them continue to report: "...... We went inside, and it turned out that there were two or three hundred people imprisoned inside! ”

"Two or three hundred people ......"

Zhang Jingheng, who followed, was shocked, with an unbelievable look on his face.

"That's right, there are indeed two or three hundred people, which is almost the total population of the villa!"

Li Yu said: "It is possible to determine the identity of those people?" ”

The subordinate said: "According to the conversation of the guard, it seems that they are the victims who came here during the disaster some time ago!" ”

At this moment, another black shadow flew through the wild grass, like a phantom in the night.

But Li Yu didn't move, and the few people next to him didn't startle away, but stood in place and waited for the other party to arrive.

After a while, the man came to the river, muffled his walking movement by the sound of the murmuring water, half-knelt on the ground, and saluted: "Hall master, I just went in to take a look, the guards are not tight, you can enter from this side!" ”

"Let's go."

Li Yu decisively ordered, and everyone followed.

Soon, they were walking along the side path over the hills.

After a while, when they came into the valley, they saw a few simple houses built in the middle of nowhere, and near them there was an orchard, and by the edge of the orchard there was a pond, like a common farm garden.

Somewhere inside, there was a faint light of fire, and from a distance, you could see someone standing guard in a watchtower several feet high.

In normal circumstances, such a defense can be called tight, but the people here are obviously not professionals, and they don't even have a few hunting dogs.

The crowd easily touched it, and saw the goal of the trip under a row of houses at the mouth of the cave.

Li Yu had already been prepared for the situation after hearing the news, but when he saw the scene in front of him through the moonlight, he was still taken aback.

Zhang Jingheng, who was pulled over by Li Yu to avoid acting alone, also looked shaken, as if he was shocked by what he saw in front of him.

In the moonlight, in a row of huts like cowsheds, ragged victims were imprisoned like cattle.

One by one, they were chained to pillars, young and old, and their bodies were covered in dust and blood.

There was a faint wail, not like a human, but like the low roar of a wounded beast.

"How did these people become like this? What's going on? Zhang Jingheng was shocked.

His subordinates reported: "We don't know for the time being. ”

Li Yu didn't listen carefully at all, because at this time, he had already opened his eyes to peep at the truth, and used his gaze to scan and investigate.

Sure enough, inside the pitch-black shack, pale fires like ghost fires lit up.

Those people turned out to be all demons.

However, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary demon......

Inhuman......

"It's the technology to make magic soldiers! Those people have been infected by the treacherous power and transformed into demons! ”

Li Yu glanced meaningfully at Zhang Jingheng next to him.

Zhang Jingheng froze in place like an electric shock, and said in disbelief: "What...... How so? ”

Li Yu said: "Brother Zhang, didn't you expect this to happen a long time ago? I thought it was strange before, how could a small village raise so many captives for nothing, and dare to transform into a demon soldier! ”

Since ancient times, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, and bandits could occur in many places far away from the emperor.

It is common to open a black shop in a remote place and kill people for money.

In this treacherous and chaotic era, it is easy to see the control of the imperial court retreating back to the county seat, and the strange people of the people, the squires and local tyrants, and the demons and monsters have their own magical powers, forming a new green forest pattern.

Obviously, this mountain villa has become a magic cave.

However, the head of the village looked like a person who didn't eat the grass next to the nest, and he didn't even harm the people of the village.

Or maybe it's because it's so convenient, there are often people coming and going, and you even have a lot of materials available!

If the people ate the wine and food they offered, maybe a few would have to fall down and be slaughtered......

Although Zhang Jingheng didn't have much experience in walking the rivers and lakes, he quickly reminisced about it and couldn't help but be shocked and angry.

Li Yu glanced at him meaningfully again.

Until this time, he was not sure whether Zhang Jingheng knew about the matter here.

In addition to this, he had already begun to suspect Emperor Delong.

The plan to refine the demon soldiers, the emperor may also be involved in it.

Just think about it, what a perfect and useful thing is it in the eyes of the superior to destroy human nature, but because of it, it has the power of treacherous demonization, and can obey commands and work hard?

If you can really master that kind of troops, even the Demon Suppression Division will become dispensable.

In that case, any civil and military generals, and any pillars of the country, have to stand aside.

But this kind of thing is also extremely easy to get rid of, because you can study it, others can study it, you can master it, and others can master it.

Zhang Jingheng lurked by the side of the Demon Sect, and realized its great value, so he did not hesitate to expose it to break it, and even took away some of it.

And by chance, I was able to catch up and get the results of my research.

Right now, it's really possible that Jia Xianke is hiding here, trying to practice the secret method of refining demon soldiers.

His mastery progress is far faster than that of the Demon Suppression Division, and he has even entered the stage of successful control.

Looking at the form of those demon soldiers in the shack, it seems to be very "easy to use"!
