188 Surprise Change
() Night se covers the earth, and stars flicker in the sky. A dark cloud suddenly floats over, obscuring the originally not very bright moon. An unknown hill outside the brilliant city falls into darkness, and only the howling sound of the cold wind is left in the world is still clearly heard.
This place is not a good place, and almost no one will come here even during the day. Because this is the mass grave of the Brilliant City. Since the outbreak of the epidemic half a year ago, a large number of dead people have been abandoned here every day. At first, the soldiers would dig a hole for them to bury them, but then they simply threw it somewhere. The bodies rotted, resulting in the mass grave being filled with stench within a few miles.
The dark clouds moved away, and the moon showed its face again. The faint moonlight dispelled the darkness of the mass grave. In the blur, several corrupt birds flapped their wings and flew away. Perhaps only those carrion-eating beasts settled in such a place. But why did they escape in panic at this moment? A solemn atmosphere even surrounded the mass grave.
A few humanoid creatures crawled out of the dead in the dark shadows. They stood up staggeringly, as if they were swaying, as if they would fall down at any time. They staggered and walked forward in the dead in the dead. More and more of the same figures appeared behind them. When they approached, they suddenly realized that the so-called people were already covered in rags.
If Xue Xi was here at this time, she would definitely scream. How similar are these things to the zombies in the novel and movies. Of course, they are not zombies, and their most correct name should be the Spirit Devouring. Spirit Devouring is a member of the Necromancer, but they have no consciousness and only have instincts. However, the Instincts of the Spirit Devouring are not exactly the same. The Spirit Devouring's position in the Necromancer can be said to be the lowest, and they are not even accepted by high-level undevoured spirits such as zombies, skeletons, etc., who are also the Necromancer. But they didn't expect that they would appear here. What would their appearance indicate? On such a continent with weak strength, it would definitely be another disaster.
What happened in the mass grave seemed to be a starting point. All places where people died of this strange disease were more or less corpses turned into spirit devouring overnight. Under the cover of the darkness, a disaster spread silently with the center of the Brilliant City. Xuexi knew nothing about this, and she was refining elixirs in the Wuji Space. Tonight's night was so long, especially for those villages without the protection of the city walls. The villages outside the Brilliant City were destroyed overnight by the Spirit Devouring. Although the instincts of the Spirit Devouring were not exactly the same, there was one that was the love for blood and the enthusiasm for killing. Although the people in the Amazonian continent also practiced, they were only a relatively small part, and almost no civilians had any cultivation. Faced with the crowds of spirit devouring, these civilians were killed almost without resistance. Outside the Brilliant City, a bloody smell that soared into the sky spread out.
The noise did not affect the Brilliant City, and it still spent a night in a stable and sluggish manner. In the early morning, the yawning city gate official opened the city gate on time as before when the sky had just turned white. "What's wrong today? It's smelly." The city gate official rubbed his sleepy eyes and muttered. The heavy city gate was creaking and a slight disgusting smell of rotten corpse came to his face. In just a moment, the city gate official's sleepiness was washed away. The city gate official was shocked to see that the city gate was filled with a large number of rotten people all over the body. The city gate official who had never seen such a thing was immediately shocked. Fortunately, his reaction was quite quick, and he immediately closed the city gate without saying a word. In order to ensure that he even used all the spare door bolts. The city gate official breathed a little relieved.
The city guard team walked over in disarray. Seeing that the city gate was not open, the leader was a little confused. In the past, the city gate had already been opened before they came. Why did we all come today? "Hey, brother, why don't you open the city gate?" The leader seemed to be familiar with the city gate official, and went forward to put the city gate official's shoulder and asked casually. The city gate official looked out through the gap in the city gate, "Let's go up to the city tower." The city gate official pulled the team leader's collar and ran up the city gate building without saying a word. The team leader ran depressedly, asking nonstop, "Brother, what happened?"
The city gate official did not answer the team leader's question, but ran faster. After a while, the two of them climbed up the city wall. The city gate official pointed to the large number of spirit-eating 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 in confusion, and almost shocked his chin. "What is this? Is that still a human?" The team leader muttered incoherently. It took him a while to wake up from the shock.
Se looked at the city gate officer solemnly and said, "Those things should be transformed by humans who have been dead for a long time. This matter is very important and we must report it. Brother, let's report it in two directions. You go to the city guard and I go to the general. This matter is urgent, let's go now." The team leader and the city gate officer immediately turned around and returned to the city wall, and ordered not to open the city gate. After the two of them left quickly, the anxious sound of horse hooves broke through the tranquility of the morning.
It has to be said that the gate officer and the squad leader of the Brilliant City are both very decisive people. It is precisely because the city gate did not open the gate that the more serious losses were avoided. The morning light was light, and when the sun was still below the horizon, the city guards and officials of the Brilliant City were busy. After confirming that the words of the city gate officer and the squad leader were true, a large number of soldiers were sent to the city wall. The spirit devouring below tried to break into the city city, but the strong and tall city wall blocked them. The general of the city guard, Zigg, personally put on armor and commanded the battle. Rounds of arrow rains were thrown, and a large amount of boiling oil and wood and stones were thrown down. The spirit devourings were not injured at all and were still surrounded outside the city wall. Seeing this situation, Zigg had no idea for a moment and had to order to stop the attack and wait and see.
Although the dead spirits looked extremely poor, they were extremely difficult to eliminate. They had no souls and had no pain, and they could continue to exist unless they were completely destroyed. The movement on the city wall also attracted the attention of the residents beside the city wall, and they pointed and talked. There was no airtight wall in the world, and the news that the Brilliant City was surrounded by a creature that had never been seen quickly spread rapidly in the Brilliant City like wings. The old shopkeeper of Fuyuan Inn also heard the news from the vegetable dealer. Even though he had lived for most of his life, he was still at a loss by the news. The old shopkeeper returned to his inn in a daze.
As soon as he entered the door, the old shopkeeper met Xue Xi and Bai Xuan who had just gone downstairs. Of course, there was Yun Xi, but she was just too young. "It's so early for the shopkeeper." Xue Xi waved his hand and greeted her. The old shopkeeper glanced at Xue Xi, with a little confused and despair in his eyes. "Hey, girl, I've told you to leave the City of Brilliantness. You don't listen. Now you can't even leave." Xue Xi was stunned and asked with some confusion, "Shopkeeper, what happened?"
The old shopkeeper sighed quietly, "I heard that the city was surrounded by a group of dead people last night, and the city guards could not kill them." Xue Xi frowned and looked at Bai Xuan, "Being surrounded by dead people? So strange, let's go and see?" Bai Xuan shrugged indifferently, "Okay." "Shopkeeper, let's go out for a while, you're busy." "Hey..." The old shopkeeper reached out to stop Xue Xi and the others, but their figures had already been lost in front of him. The old shopkeeper sighed again.
Except for the inn, Xue Xi and the other two flew directly into the air. Seeing the situation outside the city, Xue Xi couldn't help but take a breath. "It's the Spirit Devouring!" Bai Xuan murmured in a low voice. "Is the Spirit Devouring? That's a trouble. It seems we have to find the pathogen as soon as possible." Xue Xi frowned and looked at the Spirit Devouring people outside the city. "Do you want to take action?" Bai Xuan asked at Xue Xi. Xue Xi blinked and looked at her, but smiled without saying a word. "Okay, I understand. Actually, we don't need to do these things at all." "Who made me curious?" Xue Xi said, and a thunder in his palm was thrown toward the spirit devouring pile below. Bai Xuan looked at Xue Xi, pulled the corner 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 made their eyes fall all over the ground. Xue Xi blinked her beautiful eyes and began to make gestures in her hand. "Fire Dance in the Sky!" A large number of fire-generating spiritual energy gathered quickly towards Xue Xi. The sky was dyed into a fiery red, and the hot breath even felt it. Fire flames appeared out of nowhere, and as soon as it appeared, they rushed towards the spirit devouring below. Fire belts shuttled back and forth among the spirit devouring, and all the spirit devouring entangled by the fire belt turned into ashes in a moment. These spirit devouring spirits were just produced not long ago and were not strong. There was no resistance in Xue Xi and Bai Xuan's hands. A few quarters of an hour later, all the spirit devouring spirits outside the city of Chaocan turned into ashes and no longer existed.
"The spirit devouring has appeared. It seems that this time is really a bit tricky." Bai Xuan looked at it with a rare opportunity, "It's better to look for the source of the virus now." "Hey, I originally wanted to save people. Now it seems I have to give up." Xue Xi lit his chin and analyzed, "Since the source of the disease is in this Brilliant City, then the pathogen will not be far from this Brilliant City. Or leave the elixirs to the Lord of the Brilliant City." "That's fine, anyway, you're saving people on a whim, and anyone can save them." Bai Xuan looked at the distant sky with a distant look. Although Bai Xuan said it was not important, she still couldn't bear to see those ordinary people in her heart.
The appearance of the spirit devouring spirit was too sudden, completely disrupting Xue Xi's original plan. If those spirit devouring spirits could not be dealt with in time, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable. The worst consequence was that the spirit devouring was occupied by the Yamarant continent. The people in the Yamarant continent had nothing to do with Xue Xi, but as humans, Xue Xi did not want thousands of creatures to die in a bad life. This is the kindness in Xue Xi's bones and the kindness passed down from two lifetimes. Bai Xuan, as Xue Xi's external incarnation, was affected by Xue Xi even if Du Li existed. The two discussed it briefly and formulated an action plan. Xue Xi turned his hand and took out a storage bag and put all the detoxification pills in it.
