This place is the junction of Lingzhou and Chuzhou.
There used to be a small town with beautiful mountains and clear waters and simple folk customs called Lingxiu City.
That year, Qin Luo drank the unique wine "Sankou Gan" here, but it took so long that its taste had been forgotten. He only remembered the first sip of it and the scene of flying paper kites in the early spring.
The feelings overlapped wonderfully.
When Qin Luo came here again, he found that the place was once again in ruins.
However, he was shocked to find that there seemed to be a long-lost smell of fireworks here.
Viewed from a distance, although its city walls are low and simple, they are intact.
This complete city wall is already different from all the city ruins Qin Luo has seen in the past few days.
With his sword, he traveled three thousand miles across Lingzhou, slaying monsters along the way.
This is what Qin Luo has been busy with for dozens of days.
After the beast tide in Lingzhou, many mortals actually survived.
It's just that those mortals can't defeat the ferocious beasts alone, and if they gather together, they will attract more powerful monsters.
So they can only hide.
A hundred years have passed, and the number of mortals in Lingzhou has become less and less.
Qin Luo traveled more than three thousand miles and met only twenty or thirty households.
Moreover, they lived a very miserable life, most of them hiding in caves. Only three or more strong men in the family could have the opportunity to go to the shade of the mountain, build simple houses, and live a mediocre life.
Qin Luo felt sad when he saw the lives of these people. Basically, if the other family he met was willing to let him stay at home for dinner, he would leave a house charm to help them make some changes.
Feng shui, less likely to be attacked by wild beasts.
As for when these monsters will be completely eliminated, Qin Luo is not sure.
It may take another hundred years, or it may take a thousand years, but it is impossible for these monsters to occupy Lingzhou forever.
On the way, he continued to deplete the strength of the beast clan in Lingzhou. Everywhere he went, he would kill one or two beast kings for fun.
If he encounters a first-level monster, even if it escapes for more than ten miles, he will still chase it and kill it.
As for the second-level monsters, they are equivalent to monks in the middle stage of foundation building.
With various means, Qin Luo managed to seriously injure one of his heads, but the opponent was an eagle, and when he saw Qin Luo, he became murderous and flew away as quickly as possible.
Even with hunter instinct turned on, he just couldn't catch up with it.
But Qin Luo knew one thing in his heart.
That is, there are more than just first- and second-level monsters in Lingzhou.
Otherwise, he could even get Jiangzhou Danguo, which is adjacent to Lingzhou, to send troops and mix in monks to take back the land occupied by the beasts.
Although Qin Luo did not encounter it, there must be third-level monsters in Lingzhou.
The third-level monsters are beyond the ability of ordinary armies to deal with.
Even if the rest of the Qin family's monks were to surround and kill him, the whole army might be annihilated by its minions.
As for whether there are higher-level existences, Qin Luo is certain that there are.
After all, the truth about the beast tide that he had tortured out from the mouth of the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect elders of the Dao League was the agreement reached between the Demon King of Lingzhou and the Dao League.
The monsters that can negotiate with the Dao Alliance and reach an agreement are probably not less powerful than Yuanying.
With monsters of this strength in Lingzhou, it would be too difficult for Qin Luo to cause trouble on a large scale.
After all, an existence like it could launch a tide of beasts and easily destroy several big countries in Lingzhou at that time.
Even though the Dan Kingdom has now integrated Jiangzhou, Qin Luo doesn't think that the Dan Kingdom has made a qualitative improvement compared to the original Lingzhou Three Kingdoms and can stop that terrifying beast tide.
Even if Dan Country has the Qin Family and the Anyin Tower, in front of your beast tide, they can only defend part of the area at a glance. It is absolutely impossible to completely eliminate them.
Therefore, Qin Luo has not yet thought of using the power of Dan State to save the remaining people in Lingzhou.
After all, the interests of a large group of people are sacrificed to save a very small number of people.
In Qin Luo's view, this is not fair enough.
But if he has enough strength in the coming year, he will naturally be willing to take action.
With this in mind, Qin Luo approached Lingxiu City.
There were actually fully armed soldiers on duty on the city wall.
Qin Luo was slightly startled. A city of this size in Lingzhou is as dazzling as a fire in the dark night. I am afraid it will attract the attention of monsters.
But it seemed very peaceful and peaceful, and it was very different from the dilapidated scene when I came here for the second time a hundred years ago.
When he walked to the city gate, the soldiers on the city wall noticed and shouted: "Brother below, you are all alone, which direction did you come from?"
"When I came to Guicheng from the direction of Chuzhou to do business, I got lost for a while and almost went into Lingzhou. Then I encountered a wild beast and had to throw away everything I had on me to escape with my life.
." Qin Luo answered fluently.
If he said that he had killed most of Lingzhou and came here, not to mention whether the other party believed it or not, but even if the other party believed it, he might be in even greater trouble.
Therefore, he made up a reasonable reason to avoid suspicion.
The soldiers on the city wall listened and greeted a few words to the side, then looked at Qin Luo and said: "Brother, you should pay attention next time. Anyone coming from Chuzhou must enter through the south gate. Our east gate
In order to prevent wild animals from rushing into the city from the mountains and causing trouble, it is not open to the public on weekdays.
But if I ask you to walk from here to the south city gate again, it might not be appropriate, so I made some accommodations. We will open the city gate later, so please come in quickly."
"Thank you very much." Qin Luo responded with a smile.
But at this time, he was even more curious about the situation in the city.
Originally, when Qin Luo saw Lingxiu City standing here, he thought that the location was too remote and that it was at the junction of Lingzhou and Chuzhou, so those monsters did not come here.
But what Qin Luo heard from the soldiers guarding the city meant that wild beasts might rush down from the mountains and enter the city.
If there are ferocious beasts attacking this place, it means that this place is still a piece of fat for those ferocious beasts and has not been abandoned.
But the people in Lingxiu City seem to be able to live and work in peace and contentment here.
In addition, the identity of the Chuzhou merchant that he just fabricated was not suspected, which shows that Lingxiu City is even still doing business with Chuzhou.
These circumstances all prove that they are now full of vitality.
This last city in Lingzhou may not be what it seems on the surface, it is just garrisoned by soldiers.
After all, no matter how well-armed the soldiers are, they can deal with ferocious beasts, but they cannot deal with monsters.
It is impossible that Lingxiu City has not been attacked by monsters for so many years.
That being the case.
To have the strength to establish a foothold here, Lingxiu City must have its own secrets.
As for the specific reason, Qin Luo can only know it if he goes in and pays a visit.
