In the dark sky, there are thick clouds suspended, as if the earth is hanging upside down, bringing extremely heavy pressure to people.
Threads of things hang down from the clouds, looking like the roots of plants or the flexible tentacles of some kind of creature.
Occasionally, you can see some indescribable things between the gaps in the dark clouds, as if you are peering at the creatures on the earth.
Intelligent life would fall into a state of madness if it took one look at it.
There are also tendons like blood vessels that stretch between the sea of clouds, squirming like giant snakes.
This piece of sky can no longer be seen directly.
On the desolate earth, there is also a kind of giant twisted meat bamboo shoots that are squirming and growing all the time.
This thing looks like a bamboo shoot. It is already a thousand feet tall, but it is still growing.
It's like a mountain peak, standing abruptly on the ground, with countless roots spreading in all directions.
The land near the meat shoots was barren, and all nutrients had been extracted, even stones could not escape.
Weathered and disintegrated into various particles.
The infected and parasitic slaves clung to these mountain-like bamboo shoots, making bursts of disturbing cries.
These slaves look like a combination of humans and bats, but they have different numbers of heads.
There may be ugly heads growing on the head or tail, or on the back of the abdomen, legs or palms.
From time to time, humans and animals would be captured by these demon slaves and thrown into the huge holes on the surface of the meat bamboo shoots.
The pit is full of mucus and exudes a foul smell. Once you fall into it, there is no possibility of escape.
On the surface of the giant meat bamboo shoots, there are countless small meat buns, from which the monster slaves come out.
The larval monster hangs on the surface of the meat shoots with its sharp claws, constantly sucking the mucus in the holes.
These monsters grow when the wind blows, and it only takes a short time for a pair of wings to grow from their backs.
At this time, the monster can leave and look for prey.
At the same time, they tried their best to bring back various hunting animals to support the growth of meat shoots.
Because of these terrifying demon slaves, humans and animals have long been extinct in the vicinity, and living people have been avoiding them at a distance.
As the meat shoots continue to grow, the scope of their influence becomes wider and wider. Creatures that cannot be defeated can only retreat and dodge, and fight with all their strength.
Outside a town somewhere in the Western Region, many practitioners were gathering, as well as an army of mortals.
Their purpose is to stop the hunting of demon slaves.
The town is built halfway up the mountain. Standing on the cliff not far away, you can see the extremely far distance.
From here, you can see that the fertile fields are thousands of miles away and full of vitality everywhere.
But now, all we can see is a desert.
Whether it is trees or rocks, no matter what type of thing, as long as it is within the affected range, it will wither and disintegrate at an extremely fast speed.
Land, stones, houses, flowers and trees.
Nothing could escape this catastrophe and eventually turned into debris in the desert.
I don't know how many people were forced to leave their homes and watched helplessly as their homes turned into desert.
Whenever a demon slave appears, people either choose to run for their lives, or they can only stay and wait to die.
This group of monks had just arrived and without any hesitation, they immediately came to check on the battle situation.
I saw something like a dead tree at the end of the desert. Even from a very long distance, I could feel an evil aura.
This is the largest meat shoot. When the sky changes, a terrible disaster will begin.
Xijing Prefecture, with a population of tens of millions and rich products, is known as the Pearl of the Western Regions.
But with the disaster coming, everything has become a thing of the past.
In a short period of time, countless creatures were devoured, Xijing City was destroyed, and it completely disappeared from the earth.
The practitioners went out collectively and tried to kill him, but in the end they all failed.
This kind of terrifying meat shoots could not be destroyed at all, but instead devoured countless practitioners.
Many powerful sects ceased to exist due to disasters.
In addition to the attacks by the demon slaves, there are also invisible and formless inner demons that are also starting to wreak havoc.
Regardless of whether they are practitioners or ordinary people, they are all targets of attacks by inner demons.
Once infected by inner demons, they may become demonized and become deformed and terrifying monsters.
The demonized monster is powerful, attacks flesh and blood life without restraint, and carries terrible poison all over its body.
There is pollution everywhere it goes, making rivers and wells undrinkable.
This kind of demonization cannot be reversed, which puts all the practitioners in danger. Once they discover that there is a demonic recruitment, they will deal with it without hesitation.
Even if such an approach is very likely to kill innocent people by mistake, the panicked people don't care at all.
The most terrifying part is that once demonized, monsters will gather together involuntarily.
When a certain number is reached, a new meat shoot will be born, which will plunder and devour everything around it.
Through this method of reproduction, meat shoots spread rapidly throughout the world in a very short period of time.
Many people feel that this is a punishment from the gods and pray non-stop every day.
Practitioners from various major sects thought this was an invasion by evil gods, and the other party obviously wanted to refine the world.
Once the opponent succeeds, the life of the entire world will be cut off.
No one can escape, including these practitioners.
In order to save their lives, the major sects put aside their past differences and formed a self-rescue alliance.
Regardless of whether there is good or evil, or whether there were any grievances in the past, we must let go now.
The establishment of the self-rescue alliance had a certain effect, killing many demonized monsters in a short period of time.
This is only treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Only by eradicating all the meat shoots can the world be saved.
Even if you succeed by luck, you still have to clean up the sky and kill the unknown beings hiding in the clouds.
According to the speculations of the monks, that is the true form of the evil god, possessing supreme power.
Of course, this is just speculation, and no one knows what the facts are.
Previously, there were practitioners who entered the sea of clouds to explore, but none of them returned successfully.
This situation is enough to show that the danger hidden in the sky is far more terrifying than imagined.
Now this world has become a prison, and there is no possibility of escape.
Although the higher-ups have not announced it, the practitioners themselves have eyes and can see the terrifying existence behind the dark clouds.
I know I know, but I don't dare to think too much about it, just for fear that my despair will burst out and I will be invaded by my inner demons.
At the same time, an order was issued not to discuss relevant content, and anyone who disobeyed would be severely punished.
In the early days, countless people were killed and demonized because of this. It was only after the taboo rules were announced that people learned to keep their mouths shut.
But even so, there are still many cities and towns that have been ravaged by demonized monsters and turned into ruins.
There are also some monks and mortals who secretly build altars to worship the unknown existence behind the dark clouds.
I hope that in this way, I can gain forgiveness from the gods and gain powerful strength.
Believers like this have all been infected and become slaves of unknown existences.
They went against the practitioners, slaughtered innocent creatures, and caused all kinds of tragedies.
Both the monk alliance and the common people hate these believers.
However, these followers of the evil god simply kill them without stopping, and from time to time they will transform monsters into monsters to cooperate with their attacks.
Amid internal and external troubles, survival has become increasingly difficult. If the situation continues to deteriorate, the entire world is destined to become a desert of death.
