This word seemed to carry a strange power, making Chunyu and Qiao Wuyang pale, and even breathing became difficult.
"It's too late, let's set off immediately and escape from here."
Linghu Yang made a quick decision and immediately used Qinggong to move towards the city gate.
"Wait... Lord Guard, can you give me a moment to burn incense? I still have a wife and children..."
A Yuanheshan deacon’s expression changed several times and he suddenly shouted.
"Get out!"
Linghu Yang's figure did not stagnate at all, and he felt regretful in his heart.
If he had been more alert, or if the letter from his master had been earlier, maybe he could have escaped long ago.
And now, the devil has appeared!
If you delay even a tiny bit of time, you may be making a fool of yourself!
Not to mention a mere deacon’s family, not even the deacon himself can let Linghu Yang lose even a moment!
His movement skills were so astonishing that Chunyu and Qiao Wuyang could only see phantoms one after another. Their expressions changed drastically and they chased after him.
Along the way, you can occasionally see sporadic monsters killing people, but the three of them in Yuanheshan turned a blind eye.
Finally, Linghu Yang took the lead and broke through the city gate.
The next moment, when he saw the scene outside the city gate, his expression collapsed little by little: "Damn it, it's really damned!!!"
Outside the city gate, all the original farmland and official roads have disappeared.
All that can be seen is layer upon layer of black mist!
The huge black mist is like a thick city wall, surrounding Black Rock City.
"This is..."
Behind him, the sound of clothes flying around suddenly came up.
When Chun Yu saw this scene, his cold expression became extremely shocked.
"The demonic realm has been established, this place has become a desperate place, we...can't get out!"
Linghu Yang's voice became extremely dry and hoarse... just like a dying person struggling.
If you look carefully at this time, you will find that the eyes of the Yuanhe Mountain guard seem to be filled with...a trace of despair?
……
Baiyun Martial Arts School.
"Something is wrong..."
Fang Xi looked up and felt that the weather seemed to have become much gloomier.
It was dark all around, as if it was dusk and the sun was going down.
And his own spiritual consciousness was frantically warning, as if there was some danger lurking around.
This made Fang Xi feel a little anxious.
"Quick!"
"Block the main entrance!"
"Get weapons!"
"Fire, these monsters are afraid of fire!"
The martial arts disciples were panicked for a while, but finally felt a little more at ease after discovering that those weirdos were afraid of flames and did not dare to approach them.
"What...is going on?"
Fang Xi wiped the black ash from her face and looked at Mu Piaomiao.
The image of this senior sister is even more embarrassing, and the originally clean and tidy skirt is already covered with blood.
"I...I don't know..." Mu Piaomiao lost her sight and murmured: "Could it be some kind of weird monster that has sneaked into the city?"
"If that's the case, there are at least two kinds." Fang Xi pondered: "One seems to be parasitized by trees. Even martial arts masters can't deal with it. It is very contagious... and there is a black mark surface.
, the strength must also surpass that of ordinary warriors with three changes of Qi and blood!”
He has collected a few drops of the second kind of monster's blood and sealed it properly in a jade bottle, waiting for future research.
But the first one, that weird plant, seemed to be alive, and Fang Xi didn't dare to touch it rashly.
Suddenly, a figure rushed through the flame wall and fell into the martial arts hall.
Many disciples were startled, but after seeing the person coming, they felt relieved: "Master, the master is back!"
"Dad!"
Mu Miaomiao cried with joy, but she saw Mu Canglong's face was pale, one of his hands was hanging down softly, and blood was oozing out.
At this time, he waved his hand and shouted in a stern tone: "Piaomiao! Don't come here!"
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Mu Piaomiao was stunned on the spot, at a loss.
Mu Canglong looked at the people around him and took a deep breath: "My martial arts disciples, those who want to go home will go home immediately. Those who want to stay in the martial arts gym must hand over a hundred kilograms of food!"
"Grain?!"
When Fang Xi heard this somewhat nonsensical request, she couldn't help but wonder: "Master, why is this so?"
"Because of the devil!"
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Mu Canglong's mouth: "Black Rock City...can't get out..."
Before he finished speaking, his expression changed and he spit out a mouthful of black blood.
At the same time, there were dark lines emerging from his collar along the blood vessels.
"It's that kind of monster!"
When a martial arts disciple saw this, he was so frightened that he cried out: "The master of the gym is also going to turn into a man-eating monster..."
He saw with his own eyes that the faces of several fellow apprentices were covered with such dark marks, and then they became unrecognizable.
At this time, he screamed, grabbed a torch, ran out of the martial arts hall, and disappeared.
As soon as this man ran away, the other apprentices dispersed like a flock of frightened birds and beasts.
There are only a few people left.
"Let's go...it's okay to go."
Seeing this scene, a strange smile appeared on Mu Canglong's face.
"Dad..." Mu Piaomiao's eyes were red, and tears rolled down her eyes.
"Oh... don't worry. Although dad has been poisoned by the demon's curse, he can still survive for a while with his true power to suppress it..."
Mu Canglong looked at his daughter lovingly and said with relief.
"Master, what do you mean by saying you can't get out of Black Rock City?" Fang Xi did not leave, but looked at Mu Canglong with interest and suddenly asked.
"It literally means that the entire Blackstone City has become a prison, and no one can get out..."
Mu Canglong shook his head, looked at the remaining disciples, and said sadly: "Not to mention the danger of demonic disasters... we will most likely die here because of lack of food."
Fang Xi suddenly became enlightened.
If Blackstone City really becomes a kind of prison, what is the most urgent need?
The most abundant thing in a big city is people, but what is lacking is materials!
Even as small as Black Rock City, it still needs a large number of nearby farms and villages to provide food and vegetables, and there are long lines of fleets transporting supplies every day.
Once it is blocked and supplies cannot come in, it will instantly turn into... a purgatory on earth!
'But, what do you mean you can't get out? No...'
Fang Xi's eyes were bright: "A demonic disaster? Is it a demon among demons? Is there a demon causing trouble in the city?"
"Exactly!" Mu Canglong simply sat cross-legged on the ground and replied with a wry smile: "No matter how powerful the monster is, you are not afraid of it, because the monster will be injured and die! As long as the warrior can cause harm to it, with the men and horses of Great Liang, no matter how powerful it is,
All the monsters can be piled to death."
'This sentence sounds like a player... The so-called players, even gods, can kill you as long as they dare to show their health bar!'
Fang Xi silently nodded in her heart, and then heard Mu Canglong continue: "... But the devil is different, the devil is immortal! Even the weakest devil will not be destroyed! The devil is immortal, so it wreaks havoc everywhere
, Great Liang will often give up..."
There was despair in his tone.
And Fang Xi's only feeling was - 'Report to GM, someone has unlocked the blood lock'!
Only then did he realize that the devil among the devils could be so difficult to deal with!
‘Immortal? Real or fake?’
Fang Xi didn't believe it.
‘Or... these warriors are too weak.’
‘The demons that warriors cannot destroy may not be destroyed by immortal cultivators like us.’
'Even if the monks in the Qi Refining Stage cannot be destroyed, perhaps the Foundation Establishment Major can destroy them with a backhand...'
‘Even if the foundation building overhaul fails, there is still pill formation and Nascent Soul...’
Thinking of this, Fang Xi suddenly felt much better.
At the same time, interest in those ‘devils’ has greatly increased.
‘This world is really interesting. The flesh of ordinary demon beasts is a treasure for body refining, but the ‘demons’ can be immortal. Isn’t this what immortal cultivators dream of?’
"Today's Black Rock City...is there a demon?" Tang Xuan took a few steps back, his expression full of fear and a little bit of hope: "Master...the government and Yuanhe Mountain, it is said that there are even Zhenjin martial arts masters, so there should be
It can, it should be possible..."
Mu Canglong shook his head: "There was once a martial arts master who killed the demon ninety-nine times in a short period of time... but the demon still could not be destroyed and quickly resurrected. On the contrary... the master was finally exhausted to death... the warrior
Facing the devil is like a mortal facing a monster, there is nothing you can do."
"Our only hope now is to collect enough food and wait..."
Upon hearing this, Liu Taotao's eyes lit up: "Waiting for the imperial court to save us?"
"No." Mu Canglong shook his head: "Wait for this demon to eat and drink enough... completely lose interest in this place, and then leave voluntarily..."
An emotion called 'despair' began to envelope everyone in the martial arts hall.
"Ah, look, what is that?"
Liu Taotao raised his head and suddenly exclaimed.
Fang Xi followed her gaze and her expression instantly became extremely solemn.
He saw...a giant tree!
The huge pitch-black canopy continues to grow and expand... like a pitch-black bowl, trying to hold the entire Black Stone City.
Vine-like aerial roots hang down from the canopy, glowing with a thin black mist.
Indescribable terror spreads in the hearts of everyone who sees it.
The monsters raging outside are gathering towards the center of the city as if they were ordered to do so.
Then, the air roots dropped down one by one, penetrated into the back of their necks, hung them all up, and swayed with the wind...
"Is this... similar to the relationship between worker ants and the queen?"
Fang Xi murmured to herself: "These monsters just extract nutrients and finally water the main tree to make it grow?"
"I didn't expect that in this world, I can see such magnificent and strange life..."
