The flame monster hovered rapidly in the sky, and the flock of cohesive strange birds was constantly preyed upon by him.

The strange birds were frightened and dispersed, but soon they regrouped, and the lure of the living in Pengcheng made them reluctant to leave.

As a result, the fire monsters that quickly return are either eaten or burned to death, and the efficiency of hunting is greatly improved.

The monster birds tried to fight back, but they were too weak to get close to the flame monsters and were burned to ashes. The situation has become a one-sided massacre.

The dark clouds composed of strange birds in the sky above Pengcheng were also being split and torn apart by the flame monsters little by little.

The people at the head of the city watched all this in amazement, such a battle was completely beyond their control.

The night wind howled, everyone's hair and beard fluttered in the wind, and no one spoke, and everyone watched quietly until their necks were sore.

Time passed little by little, but the flame demon was still preying on strange birds, and there was no intention of landing in Pengcheng.

There are fewer and fewer strange birds, and there is no way to gather in groups, only the team is still around Pengcheng to avoid the flame monsters.

The prefectural magistrate suddenly asked:

"If those black monster birds are all eaten by that flame monster, does that mean ...... The plague in Pengcheng won't happen?"

Fang Qian replied:

"Where is it so simple, the seeds of the plague have already been sown by these plague demons, and it is inevitable. However, if the plague ghosts were eaten by the flame monster, then the scale and severity of the plague would be reduced a lot. ”

You Mingxuan asked at this time:

"That flame monster, could it be that you're here to help us Peng Cheng?"

However, after saying this sentence, You Mingxuan also secretly scolded himself for being an idiot, where would there be a reason for demons and ghosts to help the living.

Sure enough, everyone chose to ignore this sentence.

The prefectural magistrate asked again:

"Exorcism is my lord, so do we still want to ...... Continue evacuation?"

The Flame Monster and the Black Monster Bird are right above Pengcheng, and it would be too dangerous if they didn't evacuate. But if you choose to evacuate, then the matter is serious, and the flight of a city's population is not a child's play.

Besides, the closest city to Pengcheng is Lingcheng, which is only a small city, how can it accept so many people.

Whether it is a strange bird or a monster, no matter how fast ordinary people can escape, how can they outrun them.

Fang Qian thought for a moment, and suddenly asked:

"What time is it?"

The prefectural magistrate hurriedly replied:

"It's almost time...... I understand what adults mean! It won't be long before dawn begins!"

Fang Qian nodded:

"No matter how strong that flame monster is, it can't withstand the sun. It is now attracted by the plague ghosts, and it cannot take care of the people in the city for the time being. After a few more moments, it would have to leave Pengcheng and go to a hidden place to hide from the sun. ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts settled down a little.

But the prefectural magistrate continued to ask:

"But...... Even if we pass tonight, if the flame demon goes and returns tomorrow night...... How can Pengcheng be preserved?"

The crowd then fell silent, which is also a very likely problem.

At this moment, a scorching wave of air suddenly hit overhead, and the sound of flapping wings was deafening.

Everyone could smell the burnt smell of their eyebrows and hair.

They looked up in horror to see that the strange birds had been almost hunted by the flame monsters, and the flame monsters were slowly descending.

The place where I landed was just before the castle tower.

Everyone was horrified, they didn't expect the strange bird to be hunted so quickly. At this time, it was not yet dawn, and the flame monster had already landed, so what should I do?

The county magistrate shouted in horror:

"Let's go!

The crowd ran in terror towards the stone steps away from the city wall.

"Bang !!"

The flaming monster slammed down on the ground, and the city trembled violently, and the people fell unsteadily.

Only Fang Qian stood firmly on his feet as if he had nailed it, staring at the huge monster that had landed in front of the city wall.

The flames flew in a chaotic manner, illuminating the surrounding city walls.

Although the monster was standing on the ground, a pair of huge claws were placed on the city wall, and its huge head and shoulders were peeking out of the wall, and it folded its wings and was staring at the people below the castle with red eyes.

The scorching heat made the dry castle tower burn, and the flames became stronger and stronger in the night wind, and the three-story castle tower seemed to become a tall torch in this night.

The beams and columns crackled in the flames, and the green tiles on the eaves exploded.

The rest of the men on the wall screamed and crawled down the stone steps to get away from the wall.

Only Fang Qian was still standing in place, he knew that it was too late to escape at this time, so he gritted his teeth and stared at the huge and hideous head:

"What the hell are you...... What do you want to do?"

The flame monster's gaze noticed him, and all it heard was a "whew!", and bright red flames erupted from its mouth and nose.

Fang Qian couldn't help but take a step back, cold sweat dripping from his sideburns.

His heart was beating wildly, could it be that this flame monster was finally going to strike?

However, the flame monster just glanced at him emotionlessly, then turned around, and with a flap of its huge wings, the behemoth flew up again.

It first swooped over the mass grave on the western outskirts of Pengcheng for a moment, its huge claws slammed into the ground, and it seemed to pick up something in the flying dirt, and then flew towards the plague ghosts that had gathered over a village in the distance.

The flame trolls flew farther and farther away, and soon appeared in the sky with a bright red fire.

"Boom !!"

The tower collapsed in the flames, and sparks flew in all directions.

Fang Qian woke up like a dream, he hurriedly avoided the broken wall of the fallen city tower, and then kept extinguishing the flames on his body.

Finally, he looked into the distance in horror, and the flame monster had rushed into another place where the plague ghosts gathered, hunting frantically.

"Pengcheng is so dangerous...... Fang Qian stood solemnly on the city wall, "I have to ask for help......! In such a city, would the top be willing to rank up the masters?"

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

The long night finally passed, and as the sun rose, the strange birds hovering over the gathering place of the living turned to ashes in the sunlight, and everything in the world became bright.

Qingniu Village is a village a day's journey from Pengcheng, and pedestrian caravans often stop here for the night before continuing on their way to or away from Pengcheng.

It was once a prosperous and peaceful village, but today it exudes the smell of decay.

Last night, strange birds were entrenched in the sky above the village, and then fire monsters appeared to hunt strange birds.

After a night of panic, the villagers found that many of them were sick.

First there was a cough and fever, followed by a round and bulging lump of nodules under the armpits, at the corners of the mouth, on the back or on the inside of the legs, and the skin on these large bags broke at the touch of the skin, and from the inside flowed a foul-smelling yellow pus.

The most terrifying thing is that these festering places are itchy and unbearable, so that people can't help but scratch with their hands, the more they scratch, the more itchy they get, and even in the back, people have difficulty controlling themselves, even if the festering wound is scratched to the skin and flesh is bloody, it can't stop the itching.

This strange disease seems to be only for people, but the rest of the poultry and livestock are unharmed.

Although the sun had risen, there was no one in the village who could go to the fields to farm, and the villagers were all wailing and groaning in pain all over the village.

Jiang Yuan originally planned to enter the village to look for a fast horse and return to Pengcheng, but encountered such a miserable scene.

Last night he kept hunting those strange birds, and the farther and farther, so that when he was about to return, he realized that it was almost dawn.

In order to avoid being discovered after being discovered after exiting the form of Yanzhi, Jiang Yuan took advantage of the night to land in the mountains and forests far away from the village, and only walked out this morning.

After Jiang Yuan saw the tragic situation in the village, Yuan planned to leave immediately to avoid being infected with the epidemic.

But Princess Youyue, who was beside him and shrouded in black robes, said:

"Don't worry, this plague is caused by evil spirits, and it is only contagious after nightfall. And even the poisonous feather can't help you, and this plague is even more ineffective against you. ”

Jiang Yuan also remembered that when he hunted those monsters with human heads and bird bodies last night, the ghost qi he absorbed was indeed the same as the ghost qi of the poisonous feather at the beginning, and it had special attributes, but it was burned by his own hot blood, and turned into pure ghost qi and was absorbed by the shadow.

After understanding all this, Jiang Yuan was relieved to enter the village.

He came to a villager who was lying weak on the side of the road, pressed his hand on his body, and felt the situation inside him.

Soon he sensed the ghost qi in the villagers' bodies, and to his surprise, this ghost qi entered and spread all over the villagers' bodies like cobwebs.

Although the ghost qi is weak, it is pervasive and takes root everywhere in the villagers' bodies.

This situation was completely different from the situation when Jiang Yuan's ghost qi was introduced into the bodies of those four children.

At the beginning, Jiang Yuan's ghost qi was in the bodies of the four children, swimming and shuttling in their bodies like earthworms, absorbing the essence of the human body's life.

And the ghost qi attribute encountered this time was even more domineering, although it was only a faint trace of ghost qi, but it extended countless tentacles in all directions, firmly implanted in the villagers' bodies.

Jiang Yuan could even feel that as long as he extracted the ghost qi from the villager's body and lured it out of his body, then the villager would inevitably die because his whole body was damaged at the same time.

After the examination, the villagers still looked weak and listless.

A voice came from behind the black veil of Princess Dark Moon:

"Don't look at them like this during the day, when it gets night, they will be alive and well. But that's just the surface, and the plague will take a worse toll on them at night. It is estimated that half of the people will not survive more than three nights. Within seven nights, all those infected with the disease would die. ”

Jiang Yuan asked:

"Is there any way to get rid of the plague?"

Princess Dark Moon replied:

"Perhaps the king's men, the demons who unleashed the plague, have a way. But it is impossible to get it from their mouths. ”

Jiang Yuan frowned, this situation is really serious, I don't know if there will be any way for that epidemic expulsion envoy.

Immediately, Jiang Yuan found a fast horse in the village and was about to leave this place for Pengcheng. I don't know what's going on in the city now, so I'll have to go back and see.

Princess Yueyue hurriedly stopped in front of the horse:

"Take me to my sister!"

Jiang Yuan raised his horsewhip and pulled her away:

"Find a place to hide around here, and when I think the time is right, I'll send someone to you, and I'll take the three lanterns as a letter." It's better for me not to find out that you have entered Pengcheng without permission, otherwise you and your sister will not be able to save your life!"

Princess Youyue was afraid that her clothes would be damaged by the horsewhip and cause the sunlight to leak in, so she could only hurriedly avoid it, and watched Jiang Yuan ride away with resentment.
