"Demon beasts generally don't take the initiative to attack the territory of the human race, unless they are artificially driven to create a beast tide like in the Demon Beast Mountain Range."

"Senior Mu, what do you think will be the reason for the appearance of beast tides in the desert?"

The guy at the inn had already gone to serve food and pour tea for the other guests, so Cao Chuan had no choice but to ask Mu Qingqiu in the sea of knowledge, hoping that this senior, who had existed since ancient times, could answer his question.

"The beast tide does not arise for no reason, it must be caused by the existence of other factors."

Mu Qingqiu thought about the remaining memories in his mind, and said to Cao Chuan: "If I remember correctly, there are only three ways to form a beast tide, and the first of them is impossible for most of the demon beasts in the Southern Emperor Domain, because these demon beasts are generally low in intelligence and like to be in a safe corner, so it is naturally impossible to gather together to attack the territory of the human race." ”

"The second method is what you encountered in the Demon Beast Mountain Range before, artificially drive away the demon beasts and force the demon beasts to gather together to form a beast tide, but even if this can make the beast tide form, most of the people who can be driven are demon beasts with no spiritual intelligence and a low realm."

"As for the third method, it comes from crooked ways."

"Crooked?" Cao Chuan asked.

"Specifically, it's the method used by some cult monks." Mu Qingqiu knew that Cao Chuan had never seen what was called an evil way, so he first explained: "The so-called evil way is those monks who like to use all kinds of evil and evil methods, they do all kinds of evil, do everything to the extreme, and even worship the sins of the world, and they are proud of falling into the eighteenth layer of purgatory, they are really a group of hopeless evil people!" ”

"If you still don't understand, just think of them as Su Yuanqing, but in fact, these evil monks are far more evil and hateful than Su Yuanqing, once they are targeted, it will be forever peaceful."

Hearing the name Su Yuanqing, Cao Chuan, who was still a little confused, immediately understood what the evil path was, so he asked Mu Qingqiu in a slightly resentful tone what method the evil path monk used to create the beast tide.

Mu Qingqiu then explained: "The way the evil path monk created the beast tide was to use a spell that could control the minds of other people's minds to control the demon beast, and when the demon beast could not bear the torture and the will was exhausted, the evil path monk would make it into a puppet that would only obey orders, so as to control the demon beast puppet to form the beast tide. ”

"It's just..."

"But what?"

"If you want to use this method to form a beast tide, you need a large number of evil monks who have cultivated this puppet method to control the demon beasts, and at the same time, the realm of these evil monks must be high enough, otherwise they will be counterattacked by the demon beasts with strong wills and higher realms."

Mu Qingqiu sighed with emotion: "If it is really like the beast tide that appeared in my memory, then the Southern Imperial Domain will be dangerous..."

Needless to say, Cao Chuan also knew that the other party was worried that the group of evil cultivators behind the control of the beast tide was too strong, and everyone in the powerful Southern Emperor Domain was not their opponent.

As a result, the status of the borderless city was instantly raised several levels.

Because in the mouths of the innkeepers, it seems that only the Borderless City has been sending monks to the depths of the desert to fight against the beast tide that occurs every year.

Mu Qingqiu could see the worry in Cao Chuan's eyes, so he opened his mouth to comfort and said: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, because the innkeeper just now also said that the beast tide in the depths of the desert will occur every year, but it will be resisted by the monks of the Ownerless City every year, so it can be seen that the strength of the gathered demon beasts is not strong, at least it is not difficult for the monks of the Ownerless City." ”

"Looking at the entire Southern Imperial Domain like this, it is naturally not enough evidence."

"What Senior Mu said is that I am too worried."

Cao Chuan smiled innocently, and no longer dwelled on this matter, concentrating on solving the problem of the meal on the table.

After sunset and dusk, he directly opened two rooms in the inn and stayed with Yu Shengnan temporarily.

······

The next day, Cao Chuan, who was still asleep in bed, was awakened by a noisy shouting sound from outside the window.

Quickly put on your clothes and get up and open the window.

As soon as he exposed half of his head, Cao Chuan saw countless coffins covered with white cloths being slowly carried across the street in front of the inn.

At the same time, the taciturn monks who walked the street with the coffin could also see the blood stains that had dried up and stained black from the past day.

Even if you can't see the coffins that have been sent into the city like a long dragon, just look at the gloomy and angry expressions on the faces of the monks and know that this time the operation against the beast tide is not going well.

Cao Chuan didn't dare to stand directly in front of the window and ask about the result, so he had to take Yu Shengnan, who was also awakened, to go downstairs first, and then find the innkeeper yesterday and ask him what happened today.

The innkeeper's face was not very good-looking, but he still looked at Lingshi's face and said to Cao Chuan: "Actually, guest, when you see so many coffins, you know that something must have happened to this action to resist the beast tide, but the truth is more angry and irritating than failure." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Cao Chuan's heart was shocked, and he thought of another possibility.

"I saw a coffin being sent into the city early this morning, and at first I thought that there was a monk who died in the process of fighting the beast tide as before, until I saw the endless coffins behind me and realized that things were not so simple, so I tried to ask about the situation."

Looking around, the innkeeper who covered his mouth again said to Cao Chuan in the smallest voice: "Later, I learned that there was a monk in the team who went to resist the beast tide who suddenly rebelled, and he attacked and killed a lot of monks in a sneak attack with the beast tide, but that traitor was not even caught. ”

"Traitor..."

Cao Chuan thought of what Mu Qingqiu had said to him yesterday, so he immediately asked, "Senior Mu, do you say that it is possible for an evil cultivator to control people?" ”

"Absolutely." Mu Qingqiu responded to Cao Chuan without thinking about it.

"If you can, then it proves that the evil monk must have controlled someone, and then through this person, he united with the beast tide to attack, causing the monk to be attacked from inside and outside, and this has killed and injured countless people."

"But how could a traitor not be caught?"

"If the traitor really wasn't caught, then where would he be now?"

Turning his head to look at the monks and the coffin covered with a white cloth passing by outside the door, Cao Chuan's thoughts gradually calmed down, and he thought of a most terrifying possibility.

If the traitor hadn't died, would the traitor be among the monks who had returned to the city?
