The northern land enters the Central Plains is the land of Guanzhong, and in all dynasties, it is a prosperous place.

Guanzhong is fertile for thousands of miles, the land is fertile, and it is the center of the trade land linking the north and the south and the East China Sea.

In the year when it was blocked by the giant python, many families regretted that they did not run east and directly ran out of the north into the Central Plains, but instead followed the position of the army to the north, resulting in such a passive back.

But when a group of people walked to the city gate with excitement, the scene in front of them suddenly made the excitement fall to the bottom.

The city gate is still the tall city gate in the impression, and there are even many warlock families familiar with the magic array at the gate, as a key place to defend the Northern Wilderness and Yundu, the Bauhinia Pass in the pass has always been a place of heavy troops, even if the north is recovered later, and the troops are scattered a lot to go to the north, the defense here has never been relaxed.

But what is the situation now?

There is no ghost shadow in the huge Xiongguan, and the city gate is full of weeds, and the grass is as deep as a person, so that people have no idea of approaching at all.

There are almost four or five hundred family members who come here from Beiyan City, everyone is close together, just in case, when such a desolate pass at this time, a group of people suddenly fell silent, on the road, especially when leaving the north, a group of people don't know how enthusiastic, even if it was a family that was once hostile to each other, at that moment they were intimate and talked about everything.

But for now. The huge crowd was silent.

Seeing that it was almost dark, the tall old man who walked in front spoke: "Or. Advanced City? ”

The old man who opened his mouth was an elder of a bloodline family, a powerful first-grade martial artist, who originally looked down on the so-called warlock family the most, but at this time, he looked at the warlock elders behind him for advice.

Many warlocks looked solemnly ahead, and an old man spoke: "Could it be that those giant pythons. Have you invaded the land of Guanzhong? ”

"Probably not." The first martial artist to speak just now shook his head and said: "The messenger who escorted us over once said that the Northland Python only operates in the depths of the Northland, and when it reaches the edge of the Northland, there is no need to worry, he still sent us to the border area for safety, and at that time I can feel that the originally very terrifying condensation in the distance has disappeared, and there is no more fishy smell unique to those giant pythons." ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, Takeo was very sensitive to danger.

"In the grass." An old man looked hesitantly ahead, such a deep grass, if there was a giant python ambush, it would be very troublesome.

"It doesn't feel like it should be, and to be on the safe side, I recommend burning it."

Soon this suggestion was recognized, and a large area of flames soon covered a large area of wild grass at the gate of the city, and the fire was three feet high, and it was obvious that there were many strange things in the grass, and they fled quickly, not even daring to attack them directly, but the group of people was still in a bad mood.

Because after burning the grass they saw, the grass was buried, and there were white bones!

There are traces of gnawing on the white bones, just under this Xiongguan, in a human-high barren grassland, the bones of at least tens of thousands of people are gnawed by some low-level demons here, and no one cares

Is this still the same as before?

The hearts of a group of people are getting heavier and heavier

And this bad feeling, when it arrived in the city, was quickly verified.

The huge city pass is unguarded, and the corpses and bones outside the city are unmanaged.

It turned out that it was indeed not much better, it was already dusk at this time, and it should be a picture of smoke curling and lights burning, but it was not, as the sky became darker, a group of people saw a huge city, a dark area, there was no light, and the cold wind blew everyone to feel cooler than the northland.

"This"

Everyone swallowed their saliva, and carefully looked for a place to sleep in the city tonight, and everywhere they could see some green and faint eyes, which they also saw a lot in the Northland, which were the watchdogs who had become demons, and looked at them from a distance at this time, and did not dare to approach.

In Beiyan City, whenever such a dog demon appears, the blind dates are all killed in a group, and now, there are such dog demons patrolling everywhere, what does this mean?

But if there are more demons that can be solved everywhere, there is only one possibility. It's a dead city!

How so?

Even in the era when demons were everywhere and kings were chaotic, this level was also a place full of people and prosperous, and there was no snake demon invasion here, and there were no traces of other large demons, how could it become a dead city?

With doubts, a group of people finally found an old man who was still hiding here in a house with a cellar.

Seeing such a large group of people coming to me, the group of old people with a young child wailed and cried, as if they had met a savior.

A group of people comforted for a long time before bringing the frightened old man out of the floor glue, in order not to attract attention, there was no light in the room, only a small oil lamp.

"The old man shouldn't be the owner of this mansion, right?" A group of people were sitting in the hall, and a seasoned warlock observed the old man and asked curiously.

The old man smiled bitterly: "This house is the Su family's house, old man, I was originally the housekeeper of the Su family's backyard purchase." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, many people's eyes lit up, and it was good to be a local, so they could ask what happened.

"That being the case, what about the Su family? And how did this Luyang City become like this? What about the people of Luyang City? ”

"All ran away" The old man smiled bitterly: "The rich, the young and strong in the family, after being tortured for more than half a year, all those who can run run away, and those who can't run away have become the rations of those wild dogs, and a few are like the old man and me, hiding in the cellar at night, relying on some rice and noodles, barely surviving." ”

"Ran away?" Everyone was stunned, thinking about it, although there are many corpses and bones outside the city, Luyang City is a big city with a population of tens of millions, not to mention the surrounding villages, townships and counties, if the city is really destroyed, it shouldn't be just that bit of bones.

But why run?

It can't be because of those monsters, right? These things, as long as the government is effective, everyone is vigilant on weekdays, and they can be completely overcome, so why leave their hometowns?

"Why didn't you leave, old man?" Someone couldn't help but wonder.

As soon as this was mentioned, the old man's originally pale face showed a trace of excitement, and it took a long time to calm down, and he said slowly: "The owner left early, and moved his family to Jiangnan half a year ago.

"Old man, I thought, in this Su house, there is a lot of grain in the cellar, and it is enough to save some food for three years, compared to being a homeless person, the probability of surviving for the old man is greater, and my eldest grandson is talented, he is a scholar seedling, if he can go to the slave register, he will have the opportunity to be a talented master in the future, so he wants to stay here with the boss and the eldest son's family to help take a look at the yard."

The more the old man said, the redder his eyes became, obviously the back was not smooth, the eldest son's family that the other party said was not there now, I'm afraid

Everyone looked at each other, and probably guessed what was going on, the people here fled one after another, and the animals that remained here that became demons were naturally not killed, and the demons were all eating people, and if one didn't pay attention, it was possible to be eaten at any time.

When this old man chose to stay, I am afraid that he did not expect that this city would directly become an empty city in the future.

"What was it in the first place? Causing the whole city to become a dead city? The leader of the martial arts frowned and said, "What about the city guards?" What about the adults in the state capital? This is an important checkpoint in the north, and now it has fallen to this point, has the Taiyuan Prefecture not made any moves? ”

"Taiyuan Prefecture?" The old man smiled bitterly: "I haven't been there, but I've heard that it's almost the same as here, and no one has been there for a long time."

"What?"
