The entire Great Wilderness had not seen such a large-scale migration for a long time. Countless people were fleeing for their lives, riding on horse-drawn carriages and cows, or stretching their legs, not wanting to die under the claws of beasts. In the northwest of Daxia, nearly a thousand miles of land bordered the Wild Beast Forest, and the people here were also leaving in a panic. However, they thought they were fast, but in the eyes of the Wild Beasts, they were just old ladies walking in the park with crutches, and they could be caught up in a few steps.
The morning light gradually lost its golden color. It was almost time for Si, and Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang were about to reach Longgang. The road from Rongcheng to Longgang was not far. It took a whole day last time, but only an hour this time.
Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang spread their wings and flew, meeting two teachers from the academy and several elders from the Adventurer's Guild. But this was not a good thing. Their presence was normal, but their presence here meant that the battle line had been withdrawn. This was only the first wave of the Wild Beast Forest's attack. If the battle line was withdrawn like this, the future battle would be even more tragic.
As he sighed and worried, Longgang came into view. After seeing many huge and prosperous cities, this small city seemed even smaller. It was just two vertical roads running from east to west and from north to south, and a few alleys. But Xia Xiao was very familiar with this place, and had a stronger feeling for it than the imperial capital, Yinxun.
People remember joy lightly, but sorrow deeply, so many stories end in tragedy, and many beginnings are defined as happy. This place holds many memories of Xia Xiao. He gave up on himself here, sensed the vitality here, became a disciple here, and even met Shu Shuang for the first time here.
At present, the small town is in chaos. The crowd is noisy and everyone abandons their children to survive, which reminds Xia Xiao of the scene of the border war.
More than a year ago, a border war broke out between Nanshang and Daxia, and countless people from the border fled to Longgang, each of them disregarding everything and just wanting to escape. Now, the old story is repeating itself!
Some people say that women are like clothes and brothers are like limbs. In many cases, you can do without limbs, but you must wear clothes, because of your face and decency. But now limbs can be discarded, clothes can be taken off, the more naked you are, the lighter you are, and you can't wait to peel off another layer of skin so that you can run faster.
The abandoned women, children and infants were crying bitterly in the city, and it seemed that they had no choice but to die. Yang Zhen threw away his black hat, put on a cloth robe that was convenient for movement, and moved among the crowd.
Men make trouble to solve problems, while women cry to vent their emotions. Facing this group of abandoned women, Yang Zhen was at a loss. But he walked to the end of the people's team and shouted loudly, hoping that everyone would listen to his orders and leave the city quickly. Although their Longgang was far away from the Wild Beast Forest, a distance of 100 miles was just a blink of an eye for many wild beasts who were good at running. For flying wild beasts, it would be even faster!
Picking up the little girl with two pigtails, Yang Zhen looked at the people gathered at the city gate. They all left the city and headed south. As long as all the people left the city, he, the city lord, could leave with peace of mind.
There were not many carriages, so Yang Zhen gave them to some elderly people and followed the team, urging everyone to run forward. The tall and thin man looked behind him from time to time, fearing that wild beasts would chase him. It was all because Longgang was too remote and almost forgotten, and the news was received very late, otherwise the people in the city should have evacuated two hours ago. However, with Wumin Mountain blocking the way, the situation should not be too bad.
Suddenly, two dark shadows flashed overhead. Yang Zhen broke out in a cold sweat and shouted with a hoarse voice:
"Everyone hurry up and run——"
The women ignored their messy hair and the children ran forward like crazy, but the carriage in front was getting farther and farther away from them, while Longgang behind them did not go away.
The shadows were Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang in the sky. Ju Mang was flying high in the sky, watching what was happening further away. Seeing Shu Shuang trying to get off, Xia Xiao quickly pulled her back.
"Don't go. Let's stay in Longgang and resist a wave of wild beast attacks."
Shu Shuang nodded, going now might cause trouble.
"Xia Xiao, look."
Shu Shuang pointed to the mass grave. There was a fluctuation of vital energy in the house nearby, like a fire that had just been extinguished, but it was not obvious.
The Zhu family should be living there. Half a year ago, they came here to experience everything that the Xia family had experienced. It seems that they are not living well. Although the old house has not changed, it is still dilapidated and gloomy. But the small courtyard can best reflect the living conditions of the family. When the Xia family was there, they would plant some flowers in the front yard. Although they are not expensive, and even wild flowers dug from the roadside, they can be regarded as cultivating sentiment and beautifying the eyes. But looking at the yard at this time, there is only eye-catching blood.
A middle-aged woman was lying in a pool of blood, her hair was messy, soaked in blood, and dyed bloody. She was Zhu Heng's wife. In the front hall, Zhu Heng's arm was pulling out of Zhu Tiankang's chest. The latter was three years older than Xia Xiao, and at this time he had no power to fight back, just watching his internal organs leave his body. His eyes were full of doubts. He and his father went through hardships together. His father drank to relieve his sorrow, so he went out to make money, but why... why did he do this to himself?
Zhu Tiankang's masculine character had been worn out since childhood, and even now he was still soft and timid. He fell to the ground, and his heart trembled when he saw Xia Xiao. Xia Xiao, he was really... glorious.
Clicking his tongue, Xia Xiao felt that he shouldn't have come down with Shu Shuang to watch this bloody scene. Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs. Zhu Heng, since he killed his wife and son with his own hands? How much resentment should he have?
Xia Xiao stood in front of Shu Shuang and was about to leave when Zhu Heng turned around and cast a ferocious look at her. His eyes were bloodshot, tired and exhausted, but more of madness and surprise. Seeing that it was Xia Xiao, Zhu Heng sat on Zhu Tiankang, pressing him so hard that the dying man spit out a few mouthfuls of dark red blood.
"Qingling, why..."
Zhu Tiankang couldn't make a sound, the pain in his body gradually disappeared, and he left this world. But this unfair God owed him a father!
"Well, as you wish!"
Zhu Heng smiled. After killing his wife and son, he smiled at Xia Xiao. His smile was creepy and crazy. The countless blood beads on his face made him look like a madman. And everything seemed to be caused by Xia Xiao. The only way for Zhu Heng to feel at ease was to blame all the mistakes on others.
"You are nothing."
Xia Xiao couldn't think of the right words to scold Zhu Heng, but the latter stared at him as if he wanted to bury him to death.
"This is all your fault!"
Zhu Heng stepped on the ground and shot out, but thunder rolled in the sky, blocking his body. Then a flash of fire appeared and threw his body into a mass grave on the side. The graves were broken open one after another, and the coffin lids were lifted up. A flame burned in it, and a strong dog with saliva like molten lava opened its mouth wide to bite Zhu Heng's neck.
"roll!"
The shout was like thunder, and Zhu Hengzun Jing Zhimao's strength had exploded to the limit. The evil spirit was pushed aside, and Ju Mang came with lightning and strong wind, and then the mass grave turned into a sea of molten lava and fire, trapping it.
"Wait for me here."
There were many things that Xia Xiao didn't want Shu Shuang to follow him, and the latter obeyed him and stood obediently on the wall of the house, watching Xia Xiao walking on the bubbling molten lava.
Walking up to Zhu Heng, Xia Xiao cursed with a cold face:
"You are such an ignorant person that you deserve to be abandoned by your family. It would not be too much to let you wander the streets!"
"It's all thanks to your Xia family! It's all thanks to your Xia family!"
Zhu Heng roared, wrapping himself with his energy to isolate himself from the heat. In a dark cloud, stronger lightning was gathering. Ju Mang could feel Xia Xiao's anger, so it would be best to kill him with heavenly thunder!
"Why waste your time talking to this bastard!"
The evil spirit rushed over, but was swept away again. Its claws touched the molten lava, causing it to twist rapidly, turning into a giant dog head and swallowing it. Although Zhu Heng felt hot and even a little burned, his vitality was strong and he would be fine for the time being.
Boom!
The thunder startled the sky and split the air. But it changed direction in the air and did not go to Zhu Heng, but rushed to Wumin Mountain. There was a loud noise there, but it was previously covered by the thunder.
The hills at very low altitudes have been flattened, and the culprit is a flock of tens of thousands of sheep. These argali, with their powerful legs and tussles, ran in a very wide formation, as if they were going to flatten Longgang and Wumin Mountain. Lightning exploded in the middle, taking many lives, but the big pits on the ground could not stop them. As long as there are sheep leading the way, the rest of the argali will not stop.
The sheep not only bleated softly, but also panted and stamped their feet in anger. They were restless, lowered their heads, raised their hard horns, and resolutely chose to go crazy.
What Ju Mang saw also appeared in Xia Xiao's eyes. He looked at Zhu Heng, and the latter also felt it.
"If it weren't for special circumstances, I would have killed you."
"You all in the Xia family are the same. You like to act like heroes. How upright do you think you are?"
Zhu Heng said, staring at Xia Xiao behind Huodou, and turned to shoot molten lava towards the flock of sheep outside Longgang. He was furious, and he needed his life to commemorate everything he had lost.
His wife and son wanted to leave, but he didn't want to leave, so he killed them! The sheep that were blocking his conversation with Xia Xiao, he also killed them! Anyone who blocked his way had to die -
"Just watch! Your Xia family, Xia Jinghong, is no match for me!"
A huge soulless goat landed on the ground and began to stir in the flock. Zhu Heng resisted the impact of the argali sheep around him and punched the leader again and again. Zhu Heng broke its horns. He looked more like a wild beast than a wild beast. His eyes were red and he gnashed his teeth like a monster.
Shu Shuang looked at Xia Xiao, what should they do? The latter turned around and saw that the people in the sky had gone far away, but he still moved forward.
"Destroy them first."
"What about that dog?"
Huodou didn't like Zhu Heng. Who dared to yell at him like that? He would be sorry for his good teeth if he didn't bite Zhu Heng's head to pieces.
Seeing Zhu Heng surrounded by the sheep, but still not losing ground, Xia Xiao stared at him and said without any hesitation:
“When he has destroyed the flock, then destroy him.”
Longgang and Xia Xiao thought the same thing, there were almost no outside resistance. If Shu Shuang and I were not here this time, and Zhu Heng did not fight out of anger, the people of Longgang would definitely be caught up and die under the hooves. But since I am here, the people of Longgang will not be threatened by wild beasts. In fact, there are no sheep above the fifth level, which means he can deal with them, otherwise Xia Xiao would not risk his life here! He values his life very much and cannot lose it here!
