Chapter 384: Demons in Power

Up to now, the monsters in the mountains and forests have even come out to make troubles, attacking cities and conquering land, eating all the villages and towns they passed along the way, and everyone entered their stomachs, extremely cruel.

Now it is rumored that there is a big monster in the mountain forest, claiming to be the Yellow Mountain Demon King, leading all the monsters in the mountain forest out, and killing people in many densely populated places along the way.

To the east of Guide Mansion, Xiayi County and Yucheng County in the north of Hecheng County have already been breached, and both counties have fallen.

Now the Huangshan demon king is leading 30,000 demon soldiers to attack Shangqiu, the city of Guide. Seeing that Shangqiu city can't hold back for long, it is about to fall.

And this city and county were completely disconnected from Fucheng, surrounded by this monster, and they didn't know when they would be breached, and everyone became the food in the belly of the monster.

Up to now, with more and more bad news coming, there are even small groups of monsters coming in and out around the county, plundering all directions, devouring human beings, and making the whole county panic.

The county magistrate ordered the villagers from all over the country to gather and form a village brave to defend their homeland. Recruiting talents everywhere, begging those with supernatural powers to help defend the city, as if a big battle is imminent.

But this is of no use after all, at most it will delay their demise for a day or two!

Zhong Yu was walking on the streets of the city, and groups of soldiers with nervous faces and faces full of fear patrolled around, checking the passing people around, as if to see if there were spies of demons among them.

And the common people in the surrounding areas also looked panic-stricken and worried. The merchants and travelers who often came out to sell goods in the past also disappeared, and the wide street looked very desolate.

Even the grain store, which was supposed to be booming when the war came, didn't have many people coming to patronize it.

Because everyone in the city knew that if the monsters really came to attack, the battle would not last for a few days and the city would be destroyed.

At that time, even if you buy more food, what's the use of it!

All in all, this city can't see the slightest vitality, everything is full of dead silence, and there is an atmosphere of decadence and decay.

"It seems that if there is no external force to intervene, the fall of this small county will be within this period of time."

With Zhong Yu's knowledge, he naturally knew why the entire Guide Mansion was ravaged by monsters, and even Shangqiu City, the mansion city, was caught in the flames of war, making it difficult to protect itself.

But why is such a county with low defenses, walls in disrepair, and no combat power able to survive alone, and no monsters came to attack after so long.

It's not because he is surrounded by monsters and cannot escape.

In addition, the King of Mount Huang is mobilizing all the monsters, and he is preparing to fight a tough battle with the upcoming reinforcements from Dongjiang Province in Guide Mansion City, so as to determine the ownership of the entire Guide Mansion, and even the power structure of Dongjiang Province.

At this time, it is time to gather all the forces to meet the next fate-determining battle. How can I have the energy to dispatch troops to crusade Hecheng County.

That's why Hecheng County can be preserved until now.

But as time goes by, no matter who wins, he cannot avoid the fate of falling.

If the demon wins, Hecheng County, surrounded by demons, will be left alone in the rear.

Conversely, if the monsters were defeated, then with the withdrawal of the demon clan's large force, they obviously wouldn't mind exterminating such an ant on their way home, killing all the blood on it, and finally having a full meal.

So there is only one fate for the entire Hecheng County, which is to die. The difference is when to die.

This is why the people in the entire county, whether they are soldiers or civilians, look desperate.

There is no hope for everything in the future, no motivation for anything, and it looks like waiting to die.

Even the county magistrate, who is now actively building an army and recruiting talents, has to do a dying struggle because the surrounding roads are surrounded by demons and there is no direction to escape.

Otherwise, if the demon is willing to give him a way out and let the county magistrate leave, he will surely take the money he has collected over the years and run away, and it will not be the life and death of those untouchables in the city at all.

After walking around the city, carefully observing the situation in the county, and understanding everyone's thoughts, Zhong Yu achieved his goal, returned to the inn where he was currently living, rested there, and did not go out. thought.

Nowadays, the most prosperous business is probably these inns.

Those rural towns all over the county have become unsafe under the infestation of small groups of demons.

Therefore, rich and noble families with some money and some armed forces all brought their servants to protect them and moved their families to the county seat.

How could a small county seat accommodate so many people, so many people lived in the inn, waiting for their final fate here.

Today's inn is full of people, and under their sorrow, they all go to the wine table on the first floor to drink away their sorrows, constantly telling their own depression and fear of the future.

And Zhong Yu sat there quietly, drinking fine wine alone, listening to the stories of those people beside his ears, and collecting information he didn't know from it, so as to improve his understanding of the world.

From the conversations of these people, Zhong Yu gradually learned the general outline of this world.

After all, although he used some tricks before, he had a rough look at all the books in this county, and he also had some understanding of the history, geography, and humanities and customs of this world.

But after all, it is not perfect. How much can a small county have in its collection of books? Nothing compares to the words and deeds of these people.

From the personal interview just now, Zhong Yu roughly understood that the current cultivation world is the form of a master of extraordinary power.

Practitioners in the human world today can be roughly divided into three factions.

The first is the Taoist school. The Taoist school is the most powerful by practicing qi breathing, cultivating to become an immortal, and mastering various magical powers.

The second is Buddhism. Since it appeared later than Taoism, but later slowly caught up, its strength is not much worse than Taoism, and it is the second in the world.

The third is the current mainstream, Confucianism, which holds authority in various places. These Confucian scholars have cultivated awe-inspiring aura, and when they reach a high level, they can retreat all evil spirits with a single word, which is quite powerful. Under that huge base, his strength is quite extraordinary, ranking third in the world.

Although there are still some schools of thought and scattered people from various places, compared with the three sects that have a system, have the same beliefs, and have the support of various dynasties, they are not far behind, and they cannot be on the stage. of.

Moreover, these cultivators did not hide in the mountains and forests, but frequently appeared in the eyes of the world, competing with each other for the beliefs of the world, and there were many contradictions among them.

However, the respective strengths of these schools and the corresponding level divisions are not very clear.

After all, it is just a remote small county town belonging to the frontier. How can we know so much, and how can we understand the division of such schools of practice?

However, according to the news from this county town, the King of Huangshan who is raging the entire Guide Mansion, when he made a move, the surrounding area was surrounded by black smoke for ten miles, and it was difficult to see the sun. A bloody mouth can swallow thousands of people, and his strength is terrifying extreme.

Judging from his attack, this Yellow Mountain King should be at the level of a demigod, belonging to the sixth-order level.

This is terrifying, a demigod is born in a mere mountain forest thousands of miles away. It can be deduced from this that the entire Liaozhai world has a vast territory. There are thousands of miles of mountains and forests and thousands of miles of plains, and how many Kings of Huangshan can be born.

What's more, the strength of the seventh level above it, and even the gods and demons of the eighth level can be seen everywhere.

"The water in this world is very deep!"

Thinking that there are so many strong people in this world, and there are countless difficulties and obstacles, and he dare not say that he can survive alone, Zhong Yu couldn't help feeling a little dignified.

However, immediately became more full of fighting spirit.

"Only in such a world, I have the opportunity to break through the boundary between heaven and man and undo the curse!"
