Night shrouded the land, and stars twinkled in the sky. A dark cloud suddenly drifted in, obscuring the moon, which was not very bright. An unnamed hill outside the bright city was plunged into darkness, and only the sound of the cold wind whistling between heaven and earth was still clearly audible.

It's not a good place, and even during the day, few people come here. Because this is the mass grave of the Bright City. Since the outbreak of the epidemic six months ago, a large number of dead people have been dumped here every day. At first, the soldiers would dig a pit for them and bury them, but then they simply threw them away. The corpses decomposed, leaving the mass graves stenching for miles.

The clouds lifted, and the moon showed its face again. The faint moonlight dispelled the darkness of the mass graves, and in the blur a few carrivorous birds fluttered their wings and flew away. Perhaps only the carrion-eating beasts would make their home in such a place. But why did they flee in panic at this time? A solemn atmosphere surrounded the mass grave at some point.

A few humanoids crawled out of the pile of dead men. They staggered to their feet, as if they were swinging, as if they were going to fall at any moment. They staggered and staggered through the pile of dead. More and more of the same figures appeared behind him. When they got closer, they suddenly found that those so-called people were already covered in [***] and ragged clothes.

If Xue Xi was here at this time, she would definitely scream. How similar these things are to zombies in novels and movies. Of course, they are not zombies, and they should be best called Soul Eater. Soul Eaters are members of the Necromancy, but they have no consciousness and only instinct. But the instincts of the Soul Eater are not exactly the same. The status of Soul Eaters among the Necrons can be said to be the lowest, and they are not even accepted by the zombies, skeletons and other high-level necromancers who are also Necromancers. It's just that I didn't expect them to appear here, and what does their appearance portend? On such a weak continent, it must be another disaster.

What happened in the mass grave seemed to be a starting point, and all the places where people died because of this strange disease had corpses turned into soul eaters overnight. Under the cover of the night, a catastrophe spread silently around the Bright City. Xue Xi didn't know anything about this, she was refining the elixir in the infinite space. Tonight's night is so long, especially for those villages that are not protected by the city walls. The villages outside the Bright City were destroyed overnight by the Devouring Spirits. The instincts of the Soul Eater are not exactly the same, but one thing is the same: the love of blood and the love of killing. Although the people of the Amazon Continent also have cultivation, it is only a relatively small part, and almost all civilians have no cultivation. Faced with hordes of devourers, these civilians were killed with little resistance. Outside the bright city, a bloody aura filled the air.

The noise didn't bother the Bright City, which survived the night in peace. The next morning, the yawning gate officer opened the gate on time when the sky was just white. "What's going on today? The gatekeeper rubbed his sleepy eyes and muttered. The heavy gates creaked open a crack, and a disgusting smell of rotting corpses came to my face. In just a moment, the drowsiness of the city gate officials was washed away. The city gate officials were horrified to see that the outer part of the city gate was full of people with rotting bodies. The gatekeeper, who had never seen anything like this, was immediately stunned. Fortunately, his reaction was quite quick, and without saying a word, he immediately closed the city gates, and even used the spare deadbolt for insurance. Only then did the city gate official breathe a sigh of relief.

The squad of the city guards came over in disheveled clothes, and when they saw that the city gate was not opened, the leader was a little puzzled. In the past, the city gate was opened before they came, why did we all come here today and the city gate was not opened?" "Hey, man, why don't you open the city gate?" The leader seemed to be very familiar with the city gate officer, stepped forward and put his arm on the city gate officer's shoulder, and asked casually. The gate officer looked out through the gap in the gate, "Let's go, let's go up to the city tower." Without saying a word, the city gate officer pulled the captain by the collar and ran to the city gate. The squad leader ran depressedly, and kept asking, "Dude, what happened?"

Instead of answering the squad leader's question, the gate officer ran faster. It didn't take long for the two of them to climb the city wall, and the city gate official pointed to a large number of devouring spirits outside the city wall and said, "Brother, come and see, do you know those things?" The team leader looked out of the city wall suspiciously, and this look almost didn't make his jaw drop. "What's this, what's that? Is that still human?" muttered the squad leader incoherently. It took him a while to wake up from his shock, and he looked at the city gate official with a solemn face and said, "Those things should have been changed by humans who have been dead for a long time, this matter is very important, we must report it." Dude, we'll report it on two fronts. You go to Lord Castle Guard, and I go to His Excellency the General. This matter cannot be delayed, and we will go now. The captain of the squad and the gate officer immediately turned back to the city wall, and after ordering that the city gate should not be opened, the two of them left quickly, and the anxious sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the early morning.

I have to say that the gate officer of Bright City and the squad leader are both very decisive people. It was precisely because the Bright City did not open its gates that more serious losses were avoided. The morning light was faint, and when the sun was still below the horizon, the city guards and officials of the Bright City were busy. After confirming that the words of the gate officer and the squad leader were true, a large number of soldiers were sent to the city walls. The Eaters below tried to break into the Bright City, but the sturdy walls held them back. Ziggy, the general of the city guard, personally put on armor and commanded the battle. Rounds of arrows rained down, and a large amount of boiling oil and wood and stones were thrown down. The Eaters of Souls were unharmed, still outside the walls. Seeing this, Ziggy had no idea for a while, so he had to order to stop the attack and wait and see what happened.

Although the Necronomicon looks [***] unbearable, it is extremely difficult to destroy. They have no soul, no pain, and can continue to exist unless they are completely destroyed. The movement on the city wall also attracted the attention of the residents along the city wall, who pointed and talked about it. There were no impermeable walls in the world, and the news that the city was besieged by a creature it had never seen before quickly spread through the city like wings. The old shopkeeper of the Fuyuan Inn also heard the news from the vegetable seller, and Rao had lived most of his life, or was he at a loss by the news. The old shopkeeper returned to his inn in a trance.

As soon as he entered the door, the old shopkeeper met Xue Xi and Bai Xuan, who had just come downstairs. Of course, there is Yunxi, it's just that she's too young. "It's early for the shopkeeper. Xue Xi waved hello. The old shopkeeper glanced at Xue Xi, with some confusion and despair in his eyes. "Eh, girl, I told you to leave the Bright City, but you didn't listen, and now you can't leave even if you want to. Xue Xi was stunned for a moment, and asked with some doubts, "Shopkeeper, what happened?" The old shopkeeper sighed faintly, "I heard that Bright City was surrounded by a group of dead people last night, and the city guards couldn't kill them. Xue Xi frowned and looked at Bai Xuan, "Surrounded by dead people, how strange, let's go take a look?" Bai Xuan shrugged indifferently, "Okay." "Shopkeeper, let's go out for a while, you're busy." "Eh..." The old shopkeeper stretched out his hand to stop Xue Xi and the others, but they had already lost their figures in front of him, and the old shopkeeper sighed again.

In addition to the inn, Xue Xi and the three of them flew directly into the air. Seeing the situation outside the city, Xue Xi couldn't help but gasp. "It's Soul Eater!" Bai Xuan muttered in a low voice. "Soul Eater? That's a problem. Looks like we're going to need to find the pathogen as soon as possible. Xue Xi frowned at the Spirit Eaters outside the city. "Do you want to make a move?" Bai Xuan asked as she looked at Xue Xi, who turned her eyes to look at her, but smiled silently. "Okay, I see. Actually, we don't need to do that at all. "Who makes me curious? Xue Xi said with a palm thunder and threw it at the Spirit Devouring Heap below. Bai Xuan looked at Xue Xi, pulled the corners of her mouth helplessly, and the Spear of Destruction suddenly appeared in her hand.

The sudden thunder in the sky surprised everyone on the city wall, and then a huge gun shadow fell from the sky, which made their eyes fall to the ground. Xue Xi blinked her beautiful eyes and began to pinch her hand. "Fire Dance in the Sky!" A large amount of fire surname aura quickly gathered towards Xue Xi. The sky was dyed fiery red, and the blazing aura was felt even by those below. Flames appeared out of thin air, and as soon as they appeared, they rushed towards the Eater below. Bands of fire shuttled back and forth among the devourers, and all the devourers wrapped in the bands of fire turned to ashes in an instant. These devourers have only just been generated, and their strength is not very strong. In the hands of Xue Xi and Bai Xuan, there was no power to resist at all. A few quarters of an hour later, all the devourers outside the Bright City had been reduced to ashes and ceased to exist.

"The Soul Eater has appeared, and it seems that this time things are indeed a bit tricky. Bai Xuan also took it seriously, "It's better to go to the source of the virus now." "Eh, I wanted to save people. Now it seems that I have to give up. Xue Xi nodded her chin and analyzed, "Since the source of the disease is in this Bright City, then the pathogen will not be far away from this Bright City." Either those pills will be handed over to the Brilliant Lord. "That's fine, anyway, it's your whim to save people, anyone can save them." Bai Xuan looked at the sky in the distance. Although Bai Xuan said that it didn't matter, he still couldn't bear to see those ordinary people in their hearts.

The appearance of the Spirit Eater was too sudden, completely disrupting Xue Xi's original plan. If those soul eaters can't be disposed of in time, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable. The worst consequence is that the continent of Amarante will be occupied. The people of the Amazon continent have nothing to do with Xue Xi, but as human beings, Xue Xi doesn't want thousands of living beings to die. This is the kindness in Xuexi's bones, the kindness that has been passed down for two lifetimes. Bai Xuan, as the incarnation of Xue Xi's body, is affected by Xue Xi even if his reading power exists. The two of them had a simple discussion and formulated a plan of action. Xue Xi turned over and took out a storage bag and put all the detoxification pills in it.

"Yunxi, come to us after handing over the storage bag to the Bright Country Lord. Don't be playful, you know?" Xue Xi stretched out her hand to hand the storage bag to Yun Xi and admonished. Yun Xi turned out to be a storage bag about the size of her body, and said dissatisfiedly, "People know, I'm not a child anymore." So, I'll go first. Soon back. Yun Xi hung the storage bag and slowly flew towards the palace of the Bright Duchy. Xue Xi didn't retract her gaze until Yun Xi disappeared. The danger of Bright City has been lifted for the time being, but there will be more than this every time such a devourer appears. No one knows how many more Soul Eaters will be created in the future, and as time goes on, the Spirit Eaters will gradually grow. Xue Xi and Bai Xuan also knew that the matter was urgent, and they didn't delay time anymore. The figure disappeared into the sky in a flash, but the two of them left in different directions, which could save some time.
