Chapter 80: The Demon Race Strikes
On the night of the heavy rain mixed with hail on the North Treasure Island, the lightning and thunder roared in the sky, the majestic rain rippled on the ground, and the hail the size of the goose egg smashed down many slender branches, Huang Xinqing opened the four elephant clothes and stood on the roof, and was on guard against the sneak attack of the insects and monsters all night, but the rain was too loud, and there was no gain overnight, but it was just a sigh that the climate in the north was really unpredictable, the white temperature was still quite high, and it could hail at night. . .
But the murder still happened right under his nose.
The door of a bachelor's house in the village was wide open, and when he was found the next day, there was a huge bloody hole in his chest, as if his heart had been taken away.
When Huang Xinqing arrived, the villagers who had nothing to do in the village basically rushed to watch, and the group of guards also came with a prefect from the late stage of foundation building and three soldiers who practiced qi cultivation. The scene after that made Huang Xinqing almost drop his jaw in surprise.
The captain of the guard asked: "Who knows this person?
A villager stepped forward and replied: "The people know this person, this person's name is Zhang San, he is a well-known old bachelor in the village, he likes to be idle and always harasses the widow next door, and his popularity has not been very good." ”
Hearing this, the captain of the guard rolled his eyes, and then continued to point to the corpse and asked, "There is a big hole in the chest of the deceased, how do you see how he died?"
Villager A stared at the corpse with the hollow chest in his chest, and replied thoughtfully, "I think it's suicide. ”
The captain of the guard nodded and said: "I think so too, it's okay, it's okay, let's disperse, the suicide of an ignorant fool, I will take care of the aftermath." ”
The crowd then gradually dispersed as if they were unaware of the abnormality, making Huang Xinqing feel as if he was living in a dream world, and the answer to this question was really too much to qualify as suicide!
I saw that the escort team did not go directly back to the defense station of the cluster, but went straight to an old but well-kept house in the village, which was the residence of the local goddess who often treated the villagers.
Huang Xinqing used the hidden traces of the Ten Folds Rest Domain, and leaned over very heartily to listen to the conversation between the two sides.
Captain of the Guard: "Elder Fu, we have already investigated the scene, judging from the wounds of the deceased in last night's murder, it should be caused by the Lin Insect Demon Beast that has not yet transformed between the third and fourth orders, but judging from the cautious characteristics of its selection of objects, it is already quite wise, and it is more likely to be the fourth order." ”
Mrs. Fu: "Oh, I see, since it's a fourth-order, it's not something you can deal with, so let's calm down the villagers." Our clan preys on low-level creatures of the insects all year round, and it is not surprising that there is such retribution. ”
Chief of Guard: "Yes!"
Then the chief of the guard led the people out of the old house. Huang Xinqing understood at this point that this was the case, and that he had reached some kind of temporary and stable contract between the villagers and the Lin Insect Demon Beast, and was about to withdraw from the house, but he heard a sudden transmission from the house.
Mrs. Fu: "The people outside the door, since you're here, why don't you come in and talk to the old man." ”
"Can you find it in the Ten Rest Domains?!" Huang Xinqing was extremely surprised that his proud hiding skills were easily recognized, but he walked into the house generously.
I saw a wrinkled face, gray hair, and a rickety old lady sitting in front of the hall looking at him with a kind smile.
"Junior Huang Xinqing, I've seen my senior!" Huang Xinqing immediately said.
"Oh. . . What do you think of the events of last night?" the old lady replied casually, and then asked.
"Guarding the territory, where the duty lies! Even if you can't do it, you can report it at all levels, how can you tolerate the demon beasts to wreak havoc at will?" Huang Xinqing put his thoughts out.
"There is no evidence, and the demon has fled back to the rule of the Ice Emperor, even if the imperial capital personally sends a master to come, is it possible to enter the Beihai Xingshi to ask for the guilt?" Mrs. Fu continued to ask.
"This... Huang Xinqing was speechless for a while, and he couldn't think of a good solution.
"The peace between the five emperors was not achieved overnight, but was bought with countless blood in those years, if you repeat the battle of the demons because of one thing, compared with the destruction of the living souls, do you think today's forbearance is acceptable?" Mrs. Fu asked again.
"Fu Lao is reasonable, but won't blind forbearance be exchanged for rampant inches?" Huang Xinqing thought for a moment and replied.
"What big waves can the shrimp withave? and after a few years, I'm afraid no one will have the heart to care about these things. Well, you go first. Mrs. Fu immediately issued an eviction order.
Huang Xinqing originally wanted to take over these injustices, but at this moment, it seems that it will affect the whole body, and sometimes a country has to swallow its anger for the sake of the overall situation. But when the price of the overall situation came to his head, how should he choose? After coming to the immortal realm, Huang Xinqing was dissatisfied with the Five Emperors structure built layer by layer for the first time.
~~~
A few days after the calm days, when the Goudan family went out to sea to fish, they found a large number of stumps and broken arms of insects and monsters in the sea, and the blood stained a large area of the sea for a long time.
They were so frightened that they hurried back to report it, and the barrier of the North Treasure Island was opened, and after the guards on the island released the messenger pigeons, they began to patrol non-stop at twelve o'clock, as if an unknown war was about to start.
Huang Xinqing also felt that the situation was not good, but he could only wait and see what happened without knowing it.
。。。
"The Sea Demon Clan has attacked Beihai! Don't come out of the room!"
When Huang Xinqing heard the shouts of the villagers on the street, he knew that it was the demons who had attacked the territory of the insects. It's just that what kind of race this sea demon clan is and whether this represents the start of the holy war, Huang Xinqing is not clear.
After some inquiry, Huang Xinqing finally knew that the Sea Demon Clan was actually a branch of the demons in the Yin Demon Sea, and because its living habits were quite similar to those of the Lin Worm, they were not actually managed by the Yin Demon Main City. In this war, the Sea Demon Clan had been gathering momentum for a long time, and seeing that the Inheritance Secret Realm had opened in advance, they decided to strike preemptively and seize Beihai without the other four domains daring to move.
Another reason is rumored to be that the Sea Demon Clan has obtained an extremely strong large-scale killing Sea Demon artifact in the Inheritance Secret Realm this time, and wants to take this opportunity to increase the chances of victory.
After the news came out, Yunshui City and the imperial capital also entered a state of high alert to prevent other demons from sneaking up and attacking, but it was absolutely impossible to reinforce the Beihai Ice Emperor, but in the end, it was the order of the Beihai Ice Emperor who was waiting for the opportunity to reinforce the Beihai Ice Emperor on the side of Qizhen Island, which made Huang Xinqing feel very funny, what can Ci's weak forces do?
However, when a detachment of the Sea Demon Clan's army began to besiege the barrier of North Treasure Island, Huang Xinqing couldn't laugh. The position where I am turned out to be that I would inevitably be pulled into the whirlpool of this war no matter what, so the imperial capital would take it out anyway and couldn't hide it, so I just used it as a benevolent and righteous calculation for Beihai, of course, the imperial capital didn't know that Huang Xinqing was also on this island at the moment.
When Huang Xinqing came to the enchantment on the beach and looked at it from afar, he saw that the sea water seemed to be covered by a group of demons of the Sea Demon Clan and turned black, and one of the generals led by him had already transformed and stood on the surface of the sea to command and dispatch, obviously having reached the realm of at least a fifth-order demonic beast.
I don't know which master left the defensive formation on the island, Rao is sea demon black water bomb bombarded wildly, and it can still be held, but it is estimated that it is only a matter of time before it is finally broken.
