Chapter 716: Hidden in the Void (1)
Quanyang Yiyicheng felt that he had suffered an unreasonable disaster. What kind of people are these! Fierce gods, wearing fairy armor, riding huge wild beasts. Such power is enough to wipe out a small country, but they came up to kill him.
The small Quanyang Station was surrounded...
Yi Cheng was carried to Song Zheng by a tall monk, like an eagle catching a chicken.
Song Zheng understands the urgency of his men, Han Jiujiang is their comrade, and Long Yiwei has always had the tradition of "one of our own". If anyone dares to touch one of our own, he will be our mortal enemy!
But these guys are obviously too anxious. Once Yi Cheng is too nervous and fearful, he will not be able to think of anything.
He said gently: "You don't have to be afraid. We are just here to ask for some information, not to punish you."
Yi Cheng was in shock and wanted to kneel down, but Song Zheng held him back: "Don't be nervous." He gestured, and Ji Wuchang stepped forward and spread out the account books from last month. On April 5th,
On page: "Do you remember those people?"
Yi Cheng recalled for a moment and remembered: "Long Yiwei!"
Song Zheng nodded: "Do you still remember what they told you? For example, where are they planning to go next?"
Normally, when Han Jiujiang entered the Sanzu County, they should go to the county town first, but if they found any clues on the way, they might go straight to the clues.
But Yi Cheng shook his head: "No, the adult was very cautious. He only ordered the villain to prepare food and fodder, and didn't say anything else."
Song Zheng was a little helpless. Han Jiujiang had done a good job and Long Yiwei's confidentiality was very important, but he didn't know where to focus his search next.
"Map." He ordered, and Hong Tiancheng immediately unfolded a detailed map of the three tribes counties. With Quanyang Station as the center, there are three places that can be reached in one day, two county towns, and another station.
Song Zheng pointed to these three places: "Split the troops into three groups and conduct a strict search!"
"yes!"
Song Zheng did not wait at the inn. In one day, he searched closely in all three directions but found nothing.
He even opened his Yangshen Heavenly Eyes and searched the area carefully, not missing even the smallest spatial changes.
Hong Tiancheng lost his temper and shouted angrily: "Who did it?"
Song Zheng frowned and did not blame him. He just looked at the map again. After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Call all the people in Quanyang Station. I will ask them if I have anything to say."
Soon everyone in Quanyangyi was called in. They were trembling with fear, fearing that if they said something wrong, disaster would be imminent.
Song Zheng said gently: "Don't be afraid. I'm not here to punish anyone. I just want to ask you if anything special happened around here around April 5th? Anything, as long as it's unusual."
Not guilty but meritorious, if the information is useful to me, I will be rewarded heavily!"
Quanyang Post is a large post with more than thirty people in it.
They looked thoughtful. After a while, Yi Cheng raised his hand cautiously: "Sir, sir, I just remembered something."
"explain."
"On the 6th, there seemed to be an attack by a wild beast in Xiaomo Village in Hecha Town. More than 20 people in Xiaomo Village were all killed by the wild beast."
Song Zheng's expression changed and he nodded: "Okay, I'll give Wu Chang a few shots first. If it's useful, I'll reward him based on his merits in the future."
"Yes." Ji Wuchang agreed and wrote it down in a notebook.
"Is there anything else?"
The rest of the people also became bolder and each said some things, but they were all irrelevant. The only one that was of some use was the Xiaomo Village incident that Yi Cheng mentioned.
At this time, the sky was already dark, but Song Zheng couldn't wait any longer: "Leave ten people here, and the rest will follow me to Xiaomo Village."
Hecha Town does not belong to the Sanzu County, but is under the rule of Lin County. Xiaomo Village is an inconspicuous small village below the town, with only more than 20 people. If such a sensational wild beast annihilation incident had not occurred, this village would not have existed at all.
It will not be known to outsiders.
On the way, Hong Tiancheng asked: "Sir, Hecha Town is not in the direction Han Jiujiang and the others are heading."
Song Zheng nodded: "But there is also a possibility that after Jiujiang and the others left Quanyangyi, they heard the news on the way, so they temporarily decided to check the situation. They turned around and returned. We have been searching in the Sanzu County, so there has been no
clue."
Han Jiujiang and the others are here to investigate the cannibalistic incidents of wild beasts in the five southwest states, so the matters in Hecha Town are also within their scope of authority. It is indeed possible for Han Jiujiang to do this.
Tianzun's personal guards were moving very fast. In the evening, they had entered Hecha Town. Song Zheng saw that it was completely dark, so he had to say: "Let everyone rest, and we will go to Xiaomo Village tomorrow."
They did not enter the town, but camped outside by a river and lit a bonfire.
Hecha Town is the intersection of three rivers, hence its name. The town is not small, with a population of several hundred. It is surrounded by a wall of wooden piles, which is enough to protect against wild beasts.
Song Zheng couldn't help but frown when he saw Hecha Town with the lights still on: He asked the five southwest states to gather the population outside the city, but obviously Hecha Town did not do this.
At midnight, Hong Tiancheng suddenly opened his eyes and saw a man standing outside the camp, with his hands behind his back facing the campfire.
He quickly got up: "Sir?"
Song Zheng slowly turned around, pointed at the darkness outside and said, "You feel it, something is going to happen!"
Hong Tiancheng released his spiritual sense and sensed it, and said in shock: "Desolate beasts! There are too many, and Hecha Town can't resist them at all!"
Song Zheng was secretly furious: "I asked them to take everyone into the city to prevent wild beasts from attacking the city, but no one obeyed this order!" He waved his hand and said: "Let everyone go and save people."
"yes!"
…
Hecha Town is a nearby transportation hub. The business here is developed and the affluence is far beyond that of ordinary county towns. There are not many local residents in the town. They are all businesses that have opened shops here. Therefore, after the imperial court's order, these people
He was reluctant to leave because of the interests of Hecha Town.
They secretly bribed local officials, and the government offices at all levels turned a blind eye and let them have their own way.
Late at night, only the brothels in the town are still open, and the red lanterns make them look charming.
The town also has its own defense force, which is commonly known as Xiangyong. They patrol under the wall, mostly to prevent water leakage.
Big business houses also have monks stationed here, but they are all minor monks. A person who knows the destiny is already a strong person.
The patrolling Xiang Yong could not see the powerful wild beasts in the darkness outside. Then, under the cover of darkness and ancient woods, they were already approaching the town.
In their eyes, there is no difference between this group of humans and lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
The fragile wooden wall could be torn into pieces with a swipe of their claws. They were lurking outside the town and could no longer bear it. Drops of saliva fell from their slightly open mouths.
A country hero with keen intuition raised a lantern and looked out uneasily, but ordinary people's eyesight prevented him from seeing anything clearly in the darkness.
But suddenly a roar came, followed by a crazy response from outside the town, and countless wild beasts roared and roared, and rushed towards the town together.
Xiang Yong saw clearly this time. Countless terrifying wild beasts rushed out of the woods. He was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and dropped the lantern in his hand.
He quickly got up and ran into the village: "It's over, it's over..."
The moment the first wild beast rushed out, the fate of the town was already decided. Such a weak town could only perish in the face of the beast tide.
But when the three desolate beasts rushed over and were about to jump in with all their strength outside the wooden wall, suddenly a sharp and loud scream came quickly from a distance, and a clear straight light shone in the dark night.
, instantly passed through the bodies of the three wild beasts.
The desolate beast was drained of all its life force in an instant, and fell heavily into the town, collapsing several houses before stopping its slide.
Then, in the direction of the river outside the town, thousands of rays of light kindly shot out, roared across the town, and fell into the group of wild beasts outside. They were strangled for a while. Suddenly, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the wild beasts screamed.
The sound continued, and wild beasts fell down one after another under the tide of flying swords.
The Tianzun special forces advanced steadily, clearing away the wild beasts around them.
These desolate beasts were all just transformed into desolate beasts due to recent changes. They were not very powerful, but there were too many of them, making them very troublesome to kill.
But in terms of strength, the Tianzun Special Forces are in a crushing position.
The town is already in a panic. Most of them are businessmen, but there are only a few monks. Either they have poor qualifications and have wasted their lives, or they have just entered the path of practice and were sent out by the sect to experience it. None of them have experienced it.
Such a terrible scene.
Originally, when they discovered that the beast tide was coming, they were already desperate and wanted to give up resistance.
There are wild beasts outside, and there is no way to escape. There is no large teleportation spirit array in a place like Hecha Town.
There was no way to escape, no way to fight, and all they could do was wait for death. Unexpectedly, reinforcements suddenly came, and these reinforcements were incredibly strong. The terrifying beast tide outside was actually defeated by them, and even showed signs of collapse.
!
"Ouch"
Suddenly, a loud howl sounded from behind the beast tide, and the sound spread thousands of miles.
The people in the town changed their colors again: "Beast King!"
The Beast King has always been a folk legend in the Southwest. It can command all wild beasts. It is powerful and cunning as a fox. The beast tide is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that there is a Beast King commanding the beast tide behind the scenes.
