"Pfft, pfft."
Of course, this is not the crab demon laughing. Anyone who sees the scene in front of it will probably not be able to laugh. Who would have thought that there are so many rotting corpses silently hidden under the water in Qingzhou City? He didn't even notice the crab demon coming all the way from the water, let alone the people in the city and... the immortal family guarding it?
Its eyesight and ears are not as good as those of ordinary people, but its sense of smell is still very sensitive. It can smell the faint smell of blood far outside Qingzhou City. Now it knows the origin of this smell of blood. Quite a few of these corpses had considerable wounds on their bodies. Dirty blood seeped out from the wounds as they moved. Together with the dark magic that controlled them, it permeated the river water and even dispersed into the water, causing the corpses floating on the water to The crab demon smelled it too.
"How could the river god allow this?" The crab demon knew that the rivers in this area were bound by fairy rules and heavenly rules. They could not flow out of the river bed at will. Accordingly, the fairy officials would throw various kinds of water into the river at four o'clock and eight seasons. Such a sacrifice. There are many similar agreements. The crab demon once heard the secret news spread along the river. Although the news was vague and fleeting, it still confirmed the gossip in the aquarium and tried its best to stay away from the wealth like Qingzhou City. The city only operates in a few remote counties where the Immortal Officials are not accessible. If it had not been coerced by Ujida this time, it would never have entered Qingzhou City for another thousand years - it never thought that the River God would stand here this time. On the side of the enemies of the immortals.
"Crash!" A corpse began to move. Its steps should have been stiff, but because of the buoyancy of the water, it stumbled as if drunk. The crab demon who dared not move stared at the corpse as it climbed up to the other side. It crossed the riverside street step by step with the comical steps of a clown on the stage. Then, it waved its arm awkwardly, and the copper lock on the door fell down - it was originally a guard against gentlemen. Don't be wary of villains. Qingzhou City, guarded by the Immortal Family, has never been infested with thieves, so no matter how wealthy the people are, they will not spend more money on anti-theft measures - open the door and step in.
"Pfft." The crab demon knew very well that he shouldn't spit bubbles, but it knew even better what would happen to the family after the rotten corpses entered the door. Beside it, rotten corpses emerged from the water with the sound of water. He stood up, climbed up the river bank, and staggered into one house after another. Seeing this silent and massive attack, the blood in the crab demon's body almost froze with fear.
"Wow~" The door of the house just now was pushed open again, and the first person to walk out was the male owner. He was wearing white underwear, with a smile on his face. He was holding a tin wine pot in one hand and another in the other. There was a half-eaten fried fish in her hand, and she seemed to be preparing to have another drink before going to bed. Then the hostess came out. Her bun had been taken off, and a dark cloud had been carved with a piece of loose hair. The silver flower hairpin in the shape of a chrysanthemum was tied loosely on her head, and the rouge on her face was half washed off. She held a copper basin high in both hands, with a look of horror on her face, as if she wanted to use this basin to repel the intruder. Rotting corpse - this is naturally impossible. Behind the host and hostess was their child, who was born white and fat, wearing a big red embroidered gold carp bellyband, barefoot, crawling on the ground with his hands and feet, his cradle buckled on his back, the rough stone slabs on the street His young palms and knees were soon worn out, leaving small bloody fingerprints along the way, which were soon covered up by more blood flowing from the newborn corpses.
The door next to him also opened, and a rickety old man carrying a load stepped out. His gray hair and deep wrinkles between his eyebrows showed that his life was not easy. Before he was attacked, he should have just finished the sudden increase tonight. Before the business could put down the load, it turned into a zombie in the blink of an eye. However, the load was not dropped, and it was carried out again. Not far away came the watchman carrying a gong. The crab demon didn't even need to look at his complexion, but just by his gait to know that there was another member with a gong in the army of the dead.
Soon the streets by the river became more lively than before. There were still many people carrying load carts, but there was no sound of shouting and hawking. Residents along the street, old and young, took to the streets, including those in cribs and hospital beds. There were two people holding lanterns, flickering among the silent crowd. Not only did they not give the crab demon a sense of light and security, but it reminded it of the legendary ghost market.
At first, the crowd wandered aimlessly on the street. The rotting corpses coming out of the water and covered with blood leisurely mingled among the crowd. After opening the doors and windows along the street, they walked towards the street. Walking deeper into the streets, when new dead people started pouring out from all the alleys, the dead people who could barely fit in the streets seemed to have suddenly received some order from the wind, carrying carts and carrying carts with them. They crawled together and headed towards the center of the city. Squeezed between their legs were guard dogs, rat-catching cats, stumbling horses and donkeys, and the crab demon even saw rats and starlings among them. It seems that the leader of the army of the dead felt that his subordinates need not be limited to two-legged creatures, but all who were breathing were recruited into the army. As for their destination, it's easy to guess. What else is there in the center of Qingzhou City? Of course it is the source of the Eight Rivers, the Qiyun Peak that is the symbol of the Qingzhou Immortal Family in the center of the Black Dragon Lake!
The crab demon didn't dare to take a breath, lest the leader of the army of the dead would discover it and recruit him as well. If it had the choice, it would immediately hide in the mud at the bottom of the river until the disaster day predicted by Ujda past.
But it really has no choice.
Only one-third of the army of the dead at the bottom of the river was dispatched.
The rest not only did not climb up the river bank, they did not even head towards the Black Dragon Lake at the bottom of the river. Although even the crab demon knew that the entire Qingzhou City, no, the source of the entire Qingzhou water system was in the Black Dragon Lake. In theory, any river belonging to If you go upstream in Qingzhou's river, you will definitely reach Black Dragon Lake. The leaders of these dead people should also know that sending them through the water will not occupy the streets, so why haven't they left yet?
Those who set out just now were just the first wave of cannon fodder, and more cruel and vicious moves were yet to come.
Once it understood this matter, even Ujida's fear was washed away in the crab demon's heart. It was not afraid of the corpses of dead people. It used them as food every day. However, looking at the roast chicken on the plate, and It is completely different for a roast chicken to suddenly stand up and walk to the chicken coop and then all the chickens in the chicken coop turn into walking dead chickens.
It relaxed its body and prepared to escape from Qingzhou City along the current.
"It's useless," Ujda said.
