Chapter 171: Creatures of the Underworld

"It turned out that I had received a message from a carrier pigeon before leaving. I don't know what the news is, why did you let him leave in such a hurry?"

Yang Ji was secretly curious in his heart.

For Yang Xuanlan to leave in such a hurry, he couldn't even care about chasing and killing himself, such news must be a big news.

"Still, that's fine. โ€

Yang Ji breathed a sigh of relief, opened the black envelope and looked at it. Yang Ji hadn't seen Bai Yuanyuan's writing, but the first time he saw it, Yang Ji knew that she must have written it.

The words on the letterhead, the font is beautiful, and at first glance it is written by a woman. And there is a cold and holy taste between the lines, which is exactly the same as Yang Ji's impression of Bai Yuanyuan.

After reading all the letters from beginning to end, Yang Ji knew that neither Bai Julu nor Bai Wuli was telling the truth. Bai Julu thought too much about themselves, thinking that Bai Yuanyuan liked him, and he made up a lot of brains.

As for white nonsense, it is pure nonsense.

Bai Yuanyuan didn't mention half a word in the letter mentioning that he was dangerous, and only hoped that Yang Ji would go to see it if he was free. There is no mention of anything else.

"I don't know if the things mentioned by Bai Wusheng are true or not, the woman in white beside Yi Xiantian also mentioned Bai Yuanyuan......"

Yang Ji held the letter paper and thought in his heart.

Yang Ji didn't know what Bai Yuanyuan's situation was now, but at least one thing was certain, judging from Bai Wuji and Bai Julu's reactions, Bai Yuanyuan must be in trouble.

However, it may not be as strict as Bai Wunon said.

"I'll check it out after a while......"

Yang Ji said secretly in his heart. Bai Yuanyuan could still mention this matter to him in a calm tone, which showed that the matter was not too dangerous, and the top priority was another matter.

Today's time for the opening of the martial arts exam, Yang Ji still doesn't know what his results are. And. Yang Xuanlan is now sitting in Langya City, dealing with himself with all his heart, and he is afraid that it will be another big trouble to receive Wu Xiucai's fame in the future.

"Langya County can't go back. The martial arts examination has ended, so let's go back first. As for the matter of fame...... , or find a way to let Senior Brother Zhao and them help me take a look, or directly let the elders come forward. โ€

Yang Ji frowned. I said secretly in my heart. Thinking that I couldn't go to unveil the list in person to see the results, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Yang Xuanlan's matter is a disaster after all.

"Now it can only be seen if the elders can help me in defeating Bai Julu in the martial arts examination and winning the first place. โ€

Yang Ji said secretly in his heart.

Langya City can't go back, Yang Ji's heart moved, sacrificed the boat, turned his head, and fled all the way to the direction of Tieguan Mountain.

............

Langya City.

The majestic city walls are as smooth as a mirror. The height of 100 feet is an insurmountable height even for a martial arts powerhouse.

"Roar!"

There was a hoarse roar, like a beast but not a beast, like a man but not a man. There was a whoosh, a flash of light, and a black shadow clinging to the smooth city wall with great speed, and then used both hands and feet. Climb steep walls at breakneck speed, in the blink of an eye. It was more than ten feet high.

Sou!

The light flashed, and another black shadow fell on the city wall, climbing at great speed.

The camera zoomed in, and when I looked closely, I saw a pair of gray eyes turning like beasts, and the pale face was distorted by excessive hideousness. The slightly puffy appearance, the rotten water flowing all over his body, and the dense and terrifying black spots on his face, looked as if countless dead bodies had been soaked in a dark and stinky water for countless days and nights.

Their hair is thin, damp, and they don't act like people. It's more like a reptilian animal. If you turn over their claws, you will find that their claws have completely eroded.

But this erosion allows them to evolve weird, disgusting suckers on the soles of their hands and feet, firmly attached to the walls.

"Roar!"

This inhuman monster lay on the city wall and roared, its limbs contracted inward, and then suddenly it went out in the direction of the city, a distance of more than ten feet, and its movements were extremely agile.

"Buzz!"

The sound of the bowstring trembling, and the next moment, a four-foot-long iron arrow instantly swept through the layers of space, and an arrow pierced the monster's forehead. Sharp arrows shot in the forehead and out in the back, carrying the monster down the high walls.

Whoosh!

Two arrows were fired in succession, each arrow piercing through the Yang in a hundred steps. Before the two strange monsters could climb the top of the city, they fell one after another, falling under the city walls, motionless.

Several identical monsters sniffed at the corpses of their kind, glanced up at the black shadow on the city wall, let out a fearful roar, and then pounced in the other direction with their hands and feet.

The camera zoomed out and looked in the direction of the monster's leap, only to see the gate of Langya County open, the war horses neighing, and a heavily armed armor soldier lined up in a neat queue, blocking the city gate with different water.

Some with halberds, some with knives, are in the final clean-up of the battlefield. And around them, dozens of such monster corpses were already piled up, and the broken arms were scattered all over the ground.

"Click!"

Yang Xuanlan rushed from the Great Dao with Bai Wuji and crushed the head of a demon with one palm. Losing his head, the demon of the underworld struggled a few times before he fell to the ground unwillingly.

Rushing back from the deep mountains outside the city, Yang Xuanlan saw such a scene.

"How's it going?"

Yang Xuanlan raised his head, but his eyes were at the high-ranking captain brought by the Taiyuan Palace.

"Whew!โ€”"

With a scream, the high-ranking lieutenant on the city wall hung the bowstring on his back, reached out and grabbed the talons of a giant eagle with a wingspan of more than two feet, cut a smooth arc in the void, and then released his palm, and fell to the ground with a thud.

"It happened quite suddenly, and at dawn, the city gate was opened, and before anyone could see it, a group of demons from the underworld rushed in through the city gate. It caused quite a commotion, but fortunately we reacted in time, blocked the city gates, and sent troops over. It didn't cause any major damage. โ€

The high-ranking lieutenant paused, and then continued:

"These ordinary demons are easy to deal with. Although it has strong vitality, its claws are also very sharp. But the threat is not great. The point is something elseโ€”"

The high-ranking lieutenant suddenly pouted and whistled, and the next moment, the wind howled, and the giant eagle with iron wings more than two feet long had a corpse of a demon that had fallen to death in its claws. With a sharp flick, it landed in front of the two of them with a snap.

The high-ranking lieutenant took out a large piece of dried rabbit meat from his leather pouch, shook it vigorously, and the giant eagle grabbed it with its beak and flapped its wings away.

"This is a mutated demon in the underworld, larger and more agile. Most importantly, in order to facilitate their movement in the complex terrain of the underworld, they have evolved suckers on their hands and feet. It is possible to climb directly on the city walls. โ€

The high-ranking lieutenant drew his sword and turned the mutated demon over, the layers of folds and chrysanthemum-shaped suckers looked terrifying and disgusting:

"When I got the news, I had already rushed to the wall for the first time and shot these mutated demons. Judging from the current situation, there should not be many mutant demons climbing this way, but I came out a little late after all, and. All night, no one knows if some of them have already climbed into the city. โ€

"I have arranged for the army to search the whole city to prevent riots and clashes. Other than that....... Just let the carrier pigeon send you a message. โ€

The high-ranking commander said, he didn't seem to be as afraid of Yang Xuanlan as the others.

Yang Xuanlan frowned and was silent.

He wasn't very concerned about the attitude of this high-ranking captain, this was originally a subordinate of King Taiyuan, and he was very capable of doing things, and the county lord of Chaoyang forcibly wanted to come over and arrange for him to be around. It is normal to assist him and disobey him.

Yang Xuanlan is not worried about this now.

"Has the land in the northwest been extended here......

Yang Xuanlan looked in the direction of the northwest, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

These demons are by no means from the coast of the East China Sea, and they have to pass through a lot of space. There is only one way to reach the human world from the underworld, and that is through the Yellow Spring.

And there is only one place where this kind of evil ghost can appear in the entire Langya County.

-- Ten Thousand Graves.

Wanfenling is far away from Langya City, and Yang Xuanlan never expected that these evil ghosts of the underworld could actually appear here!

"The inventory in the city will come soon, and General Wang Tai is already working on this matter. What I'm worried about now is the surrounding villages......"

The high-ranking lieutenant looked at Yang Xuanlan and did not continue.

Yang Xuanlan knew in his heart that even Langya City was so far away from Wanfen Ridge that there were underworld demons appearing, so what the situation in other places could be imagined.

The martial arts examination has just ended, but he is still the county guard of Langya County, if there is a little problem at this time, or there are a large number of casualties, then it will be a huge dereliction of duty in his career, and then he will incur a huge blow.

This is also the reason why Yang Xuanlan gave up continuing to chase Yang Ji and hurriedly rushed back.

Yang Ji escaped, and there will be a chance to make up for it in the future. But if the demons of the underworld caused a large number of deaths in the surrounding villages, it would immediately be a huge stain.

"Immediately send the order, all the armies, all dispatched!"

Yang Xuanlan looked in the northwest direction, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, sir!"

The high-ranking lieutenant understood and quickly took the order away.

"Hoof!"

A moment later, the earth shook, and to the sound of horses' hooves, thousands of armor soldiers rode through the city gates like a tidal wave, spreading out in all directions.

............

A cloud of yellow light scurried underground, surrounded by endless black shadows.

Yang Ji drove the boat and went straight to Tieguan Mountain.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, an indescribable feeling came over me, and I felt that there seemed to be a dark, evil, and disgusting smell around me.

In my ears, I faintly heard a hoarse and ugly voice from the ground, like a beast but not a beast, like a man but not a man.

"What is this?"

Yang Ji frowned, and a light flashed in his eyes.

He had never heard such a sound before, it was completely different from the roar of the beasts, beasts, or people in the mountains and forests, and it was faintly mixed with the sounds of people.

"It's weird. โ€

Yang Ji was secretly surprised in his heart, and with a thought, he suddenly changed his direction and controlled the earth boat to rise to the ground. (To be continued......)
