"Hey, where did these petals come from?"
"It smells so good, it must be the scent of flowers."
"Where can we get flowers in the middle of winter? The flowers in the capital have already withered and died."
Someone reached out to catch the falling petals, which felt icy and cool in their palms.
Even Shen Qianyue couldn't help but reach out to pick up a petal and pinch it between her fingertips to observe carefully. Suddenly, the originally thin petals suddenly grew sharp claws.
It penetrates into people's skin at lightning speed and seeps into the blood along the flesh.
"Princess, let go!"
Pei Yanche knocked the petals out of her hand and stepped on them, causing them to ooze out blood-red juice.
"ah--"
In an instant, screams of fear and pain rang out one after another.
Countless petals were falling from the sky, dancers were spinning and flying, and people on the shore began to flee in panic. The scene was in chaos and weirdness.
“Don’t touch!”
"No one touch those petals!"
That wasn't a flower petal at all, but a poisonous insect.
A poisonous insect that looks like a flower petal!
Once it comes into contact with human skin, it will quickly penetrate and parasitize in the flesh, becoming a container for the insect.
But it was too late.
Someone caught the petal out of curiosity, but fell to the ground in pain the moment the poison entered his body, his limbs twisted and his bones making a teeth-grinding creaking sound.
Suddenly, his eyes became bloodshot, his whole body tensed up, fangs grew out of his mouth, and he pounced on anyone he saw.
However, in the blink of an eye, countless people were infected. Almost all those who were parasitized by the insects suddenly jumped up and attacked the people around them frantically at Zang Yan's command.
"Monster! Monster is killing people!"
The prosperous Shangjing suddenly became a mess, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger, and a figure quickly rushed towards her. Shen Qianyue's brows furrowed, and she kicked the figure more than ten meters away.
Pei Yanche frowned fiercely. This force...
Even though their chests and abdomens were shattered by kicks, they seemed not to feel any pain. They struggled to get up from the ground with amazing speed, their red eyes filled with evil spirit.
"Xiao Ba, what the hell is this?"
How come this fertile beast doesn't give any clues at all? Could it be that the heaven bound a defective beast to her?
Xiao Ba is still trying hard to find information at this moment.
"Found it!"
"Reporting to the Lord, this is a dark poison made by the Wu people. It feeds on the essence and blood of living people. Its appearance resembles a flower petal and can control the host's attacks. Only fire can kill it!"
That means that these dark poisons that suddenly appeared today are the same group as the twelve people who died last night?
"Mother, mother, save me!"
Suddenly there was a sound of a child crying. Shen Qianyue looked back and saw that it was a child who was dropped in the middle of the crowd.
However, no one in the crowded crowd offered a hand, and the fleeing crowd threw the young child to the ground. The heart-wrenching cry attracted the monsters to rush to attack.
"Princess!"
Pei Yanche was shocked, because at the moment the monster was about to pounce on the child, she ran towards the child like a gust of wind.
“Puff!”
With a slight sound, the white palm pierced through the monster's chest, pinched the heart that had been occupied and ravaged by the poisonous insect, and squeezed it gently.
Snap——
A heart was instantly crushed in her hands, and scarlet blood flowed down from her fingertips.
"Princess?"
Pei Yanche stared blankly. At that moment, he saw the coldness and murderousness in Shen Qianyue's eyes, which had never appeared in her before.
It was as if the soul had been replaced under that skin...
A powerful aura burst out in an instant, and countless monsters controlled by the poisonous insects seemed to sense the terrifying aura, and they retreated in fear, not daring to take another step forward.
She held the child in her arms and shielded her eyes.
Seeing this, the person hiding in the dark suddenly made a sharp sound from the bone flute on his lips. In an instant, the monsters that had retreated in fear rushed towards Shen Qianyue.
The imperial soldiers also quickly gathered around, but their numbers were too large, and the petals in the sky continued to fall. Many people were infected by the parasites one after another and were controlled by the poisonous insects.
The face beneath the mask was expressionless, and the aura around him seemed to have walked upon a sea of corpses and blood.
She held the terrified child in one hand and attacked quickly with the other.
The blood stained her purple dress red.
"Quick! Light the arrows with kerosene. They are afraid of fire!"
Pei Yanche chopped off a monster that tried to sneak attack Shen Qianyue with a sword, and quickly shouted to the Imperial City Army.
They acted quickly. There was also a lookout tower in Shangjingli, where kerosene was placed.
In an instant, countless arrows dipped in kerosene shot down densely at the monsters below.
"Princess, it's time to retreat. The Imperial Army will wipe out the rest!"
Pei Yanche grabbed her hand and quickly pulled her out of the battle circle.
The murderous intent had not yet subsided, and from an angle that Pei Yanche could not see, a dark red suddenly rose in the bottom of her eyes.
Evil, perverse and arrogant.
If Pei Yanche had not pulled her away in time, all these monsters would have been killed by her single-handedly.
It was because of her strong murderous intention that she entered the devil's way and became a devil cultivator.
The mask on her face had fallen off while she was running. Pei Yanche found a relatively safe place, put the child down, squatted down and asked, "Where are your father and mother?"
"Princess, please stay here. I'm going to look for Master Lan."
The situation was chaotic just now. Although Lan Sichen could control beasts, he had no physical skills at all. It would be best if he died.
The child seemed to be too frightened and could not answer for a long time. Shen Qianyue was about to take her to find her parents when a cold light suddenly flashed before her eyes.
She actually held a dagger in her hand and was stabbing towards Shen Qianyue quickly.
However, a sharp sword was faster than her and pierced her chest in an instant.
The child’s eyes widened, staring at Shen Qianyue intently.
Pei Yanche drew his sword expressionlessly.
"The princess is trusting others again."
Pei Yanche looked down at her and wiped the blood stains on the sword on the corpse.
Shen Qianyue stood up and looked at the child's body, which was actually slowly changing and turning into the appearance of an adult.
"This is the skill of shrinking bones. They can change their external conditions, including their appearance. Princess, you'd better be careful in the future and don't be soft-hearted and arbitrarily rescue people of unknown origin."
The corner of Shen Qianyue's mouth twitched. Damn it.
There are so many tricks in the human world, she wants to go back to the demon world!
"It seems that Ah Che actually knows more than this princess. Could it be that these people were sent by Ah Che to assassinate me?"
Pei Yanche glanced at her coldly: "Princess, you really think highly of me. If I had such extraordinary abilities, I would have killed you long ago."
“…”
Dog man!
