Chapter 673, Sleeping
To say, Jia Kedao doesn't know when he will be able to end his promotion now, he only knows that when this snake's body stops growing and his mind spreads to the limit, he can be regarded as truly promoted to the lower level of God Refining.
The body continued to grow, the mind continued to spread, and Jia Kedao continued to gnaw on stones.
A month has passed, and the snake's body has grown to 10,000 meters, although it is still growing, but the speed has rapidly decayed, so that Jia Kedao has seen a glimmer of hope that the promotion will end.
A year has passed, and the snake's body has grown to 11,000 meters, and at this time, the ice and snow country has been gnawed away by Jia Kedao.
Three years have passed, the body of the snake has grown to more than 13,000 meters, and the ice and snow country has been gnawed off by Jia Kedao, but Jia Kedao's hazy sleepiness surged into his heart, and the mind that had spread to tens of millions of miles away suddenly collapsed and disappeared into the void, and Jia Kedao's head, which was already like a giant peak, suddenly crooked, fell into the huge pit of the ice and snow country, and fell asleep.
At this time, most of Jia Kedao's body was still suspended in the astral void outside the ice and snow country, swaying under the impetus of the aura tide, like a tentacle growing on the ice and snow country, and the ice and snow country was also shocked like a tadpole floating in the astral void.
In the astral void, time flows at different times faster and sometimes slowly.
Just half a year after Jia Kedao fell asleep soundly, a huge astral whale swam slowly from a distance with its tail swinging, and any plane fragments it encountered would be gnawed a few bites.
There is no doubt that the rather strange-looking plane of the Ice Nation has caught the attention of the astral whales.
After getting closer, the Astral Whale hesitated for a moment, then opened its huge mouth and bit down on Jia Kedao's tail suspended outside.
The size of this astral whale is more than 500 meters, and it is also considered a large one among the astral species.
However, compared with Jia Kedao, there is a small gap.
However, the end of Jia Kedao's tail is not very thick, but in the eyes of the astral whale, it is a rare meal.
The giant mouth of the astral whale bit the end of Jacodao's tail, and although there was no sound, the astral whale opened its huge mouth in the blink of an eye. Turn around and run.
In this way, most of the astral whale's teeth were shattered.
Jia Kedao's snake body no longer knows how strong it is at this time, and this astral whale is naturally asking for hardship when it goes down.
However, this astral whale bit down, but it couldn't make Jia Kedao wake up.
A few years later, a group of astral eels wandering around in the astral void discovered the delicious food of Jia Kedao, and they seemed to be a little afraid of Jia Kedao's size, and they spewed out blue beams of light from a long distance.
The blue beams landed on Jacodo's scaly tail, sending out only a single cloud of blue light.
After an unsuccessful attack. As the astral eels got closer to Jacodao, they opened their mouths and bit down on Jacodao's body.
Sharp teeth scraped a spark at Jacodao's scales.
The group of astral eels tossed around Jia Kedao's body for months, but they were unable to tear off half of Jia Kedao's body, and eventually, these astral eels lost patience and turned away.
These tosses failed to revive Jia Kedao, and he continued to sleep.
At this time, in the main matter plane. The situation has changed dramatically.
I don't know if the gods deliberately indulged, or if the demons increased their intensity, and the demonic plague that originally only spread in the territory of the Limidi Kingdom was like a stimulant. It spread rapidly in all directions.
Groups of low-level demons, led by high-level demons, poured into the territory of other kingdoms like locusts.
When the borders of these kingdoms were first attacked by demons, the royal families and nobles of these kingdoms thought that they were just the work of some wandering demons.
But with the villages. After the fall of the town, the city was surrounded by massacres, and hundreds of thousands of humans paid the price of their lives. The emergency messengers who poured into the royal city like raindrops, and the countless fleeing victims made the royal families and nobles of these kingdoms react, this is not a disaster that can be caused by sporadic demons!
These royal families, nobles began to mobilize armies and launch a counterattack against the demons.
However, due to the increasing number of demons, coupled with the rapid evolution of demons due to the consumption of large numbers of humans, these moves were too late.
The Principality of Tem, which is located in the east of the Limidi Kingdom, is rich in all kinds of ores, and seventy percent of the territory is a rich country with mountainous areas, and in less than a month, the royal city was attacked by demons and declared the destruction of the country.
Even the branch of the Church of Fortune stationed in the Duchy of Tem was destroyed by demons.
According to several archmages who cast spells to check the situation of the royal city of the Duke of Tem, for now, the entire Duchy of Tem has become a paradise for demons, and the temple of wealth in its royal city has been defiled and corrupted by demons, becoming a part of the projection of the abyssal plane in the main material plane, and most of the royal city has become a chaotic and evil place.
Everywhere there are bones left over from the gnawing of humans, and the Temple of Fortune is filled with corpses used to sacrifice to demon lords.
Under such an evil stain, even if the human race regains the royal city in the future, it is impossible for the temple of wealth to be put into use again, and it can only be destroyed after being completely purified.
And the Kingdom of Ida, located in the southeast of the Limidi Kingdom, which was originally known as the distribution center of magic crystals, was also fiercely attacked by the demon army, and in just half a month, together with the royal city, lost most of the country, and His Majesty the king was martyred in the royal city together with a minister.
The remnants of the Kingdom of Date, as well as the civilians who had escaped, fled to the northwestern frontier near the Marquis of Terrance.
The royal family of the Date Kingdom has fled to the Marquis of Terence in advance, and is discussing with the Marquis of Terence a plan to accept refugees from the Date Kingdom.
For this sudden change in the situation, Terrance was excited and happy, but also a little panicked in his heart.
If the Marquis of Terence can eat the refugees who escaped from the Kingdom of Ida, even if it is only one percent, the population of the Marquis of Terence will be able to increase by more than 100,000!
Of course, the Marquis of Terrance wanted to be able to eat them all, but it was an impossible thing.
Although the Date Kingdom is close to extinction, because the royal family usually treats the people well and has a high prestige in the hearts of the people, it is good that Terrance can eat thirty percent of the refugees.
This is also because the refugees fled with insufficient food.
If these refugees had enough food, Terrance would be lucky to be able to eat a percentage of them.
If the Date royal family is willing to intervene, Terrance will eat fifty percent, and there will be no problem.
It is indeed difficult to get the Date royal family to give up this elemental people.
Of course, if it weren't difficult, the Marquis of Terrance wouldn't have to discuss this issue with the Date royal family.
In addition, what made Marquis Terrance a little worried was that the demon's power in the main material plane had further expanded, which made Marquis Terrance a little worried about whether the Marquis of Terrance could resist the demon's attack.
A few years ago, the Marquis of Terence would not have had to worry about that.
But after the army of 300,000 demon beasts set out to conquer the Far North, the number of monsters that returned did not exceed 30,000, and it is said that the remaining monsters were killed in the Far North.
Although Meng Ting added a lot of strange wurm species to the Marquis of Terence, the strength of these wurm species is more than that of demon beasts, but the number is much rarer, and in a few years, the Marquis of Terence has obtained less than three thousand wurm species.
In short, the Marquis of Terence had a lot of troubles in his mind.
Compared with the troubles of the Marquis of Terence, Meng Ting's troubles are the real troubles.
It's been five years since Shizun left, and there hasn't been any news back.
As the head disciple of Laojun Mountain, Meng Ting also needed to find time to manage Laojun Mountain and Aoki Valley while cultivating on his own.
As for the Marquis of Terence, there is no need for Meng Ting to worry about it, there is the Marquis of Terence in charge of the overall situation, and there are various officials below who are responsible for the detailed affairs.
Especially those criminals who were captured from the earth by Meng Ting, after a year of hard labor, some of the guys couldn't bear it anymore and escaped and hung up in the wilderness, while some of the guys reformed and looked good, and were gradually assigned by the Marquis of Terence to the newly built village as the village chief.
Today, these guys with outstanding abilities from the garbage scum of the earth have climbed from the village chief to the position of town mayor.
In fact, for these guys, it's good to be able to escape, and now they can still serve as a petty official in the other world, so they don't have to worry about their lives, and there is nothing to complain about.
The only thing that makes them uncomfortable is that they will never be able to return to Earth again, and they will never see their families again.
In a way, they have died on earth, which can be regarded as atonement.
"Senior brother, it's been five years, shouldn't Lao Junshan recruit new Dao boys?"
At this time, Meng Ting and his brothers gathered in the main hall on the top of Laojun Mountain, and Meng Ting sat on the side of the statue of Sanqing to show his respect for the master.
As a second disciple, Liu Qingyun has the obligation to check and fill in the gaps, so he reminded him after discussing some matters.
Hearing Liu Qingyun say this, Meng Ting thought about it, indeed, Lao Junshan has not recruited Taoist children for five years, well, wrong, in fact, plus when Jia Kedao was still there, it should have been sixteen years without recruiting Taoist children.
Initially, Laojun Mountain recruited Taoist children for the first time, and a total of nearly 2,000 Taoist children were enrolled, and then with the passage of time, many Taoist children left Laojun Mountain, and today, the number of Taoist children in Laojun Mountain is only 300.
These three hundred Dao children are now in the Otherworld in turn every three months according to the number of hundreds.
As early as eight years ago, all kinds of buildings and pavilions had been built in accordance with the plan. (To be continued......)
