"vomit--"
There were bursts of retching sounds from Ran Kui's team.
When they crossed the ridge earlier, Ran Kui and Yu Xian had lifted the barrier, so the sound of retching was also heard by people on Yu Xian's side, but no one reacted to it because their own faces were not looking good either.
Everyone present had at least a dozen lives in their hands, but except for a certain person, no one had ever seen such a tragic scene. It was not hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of people, but tens or millions of people. Trampled, bitten and slaughtered, the remaining flesh, white bones and broken walls formed a scene like purgatory.
Driven by some unspeakable emotion, the two teams did not rise to the heights again, but flew slowly over the ruins.
They saw more harrowing details more clearly. The mother, whose lower body was devoured, was hugging the headless child. I wonder if she saw the head of her child being bitten off before she died. The two severed hands with fingers clasped under the bricks seemed to be still telling the story of the death of the child. The fading friendship; the body as burnt as charcoal lies on the ground, and the rotten internal organs are spread out on the belly, dripping with yellow water. You can imagine how red and pink they were when they first emerged from the belly, as fresh as ripe fruit flesh; The body that was pierced by the broken beam had his right hand raised high and stretched towards the sky, begging for salvation until the last moment.
In addition, there are countless limbs that have lost their original shape, covered with white, plump and tender maggots, and layers of flies with green eyes and blue backs hovering above them.
Wow!
Where everyone was passing by, a fat beast suddenly emerged from a pile of building debris. Its round eyes stared at the group of uninvited guests alertly, with half a head in its mouth.
When everyone followed the sound, the demonic beast, which was about two feet long, moved and slid into another pile of collapsed buildings. A mud-like object fell out of the half of the head and was crushed by its paws. An eyeball also fell out. It lay dry on the ground like a leaky sac, and was then crushed by a swooping bird. Take it away.
No one among the people who were still in a state of trembling thought of killing the monster until a larger monster climbed up a pile of smoking ruins with half a corpse in its mouth. He opened the corpse and attacked everyone, and everyone came to their senses.
Several spells hit the demonic beast at the same time. This demonic beast, which was only at the second level of cultivation, died in an instant. The beast's body turned into powder, and it was impossible to tell whose hand it died.
"Are they all... mortals living here?"
Huo Xiumao asked absently, his voice dry and hoarse, almost talking to himself.
No one could answer him for a while.
After several breaths of silence, a voice finally sounded:
"No, there were monks too, but they were all eaten."
Jing Yingrong flicked his sleeves and robe, and a large ball of yellow mucus flying from a place that was too far away for anyone to see clearly, covering the sky and the sun. The slime gave off an astonishing sour smell, causing everyone else to retreat a distance.
An invisible force split the slime from the middle, revealing the cross section to everyone.
They saw countless human bones and dim magic weapons.
Jing Yingrong's voice was flat: "The worms only eat flesh and blood, so they vomited out the bones. Most of the monsters will eat the monks' bones together, so there is little waste. There are also a small number of intact storage utensils here, you want... …”
She suddenly stopped talking because someone in Ran Kui's team vomited, not retching, but really vomited, although nothing came out.
Yu Xian forced out a smile: "Junior Sister Jing, please put this thing back quickly."
Jing Yingrong said "Oh", and the cut mucus merged back together and flew back to its original place.
Shu Pinghui: "There are almost no traces of fighting, and not many corpses of monsters were seen, which shows that it was a one-sided killing... But in a territory of this size, it is impossible not to have high-level monks in charge."
"The senior monks probably ran away as soon as they got permission from the sect," Yu Xian said in a complicated tone, "I knew they had abandoned this place directly, but I didn't expect them to give up so neatly... leaving only the uninformed ones. The low-level monks and mortals probably didn't react until the beast wave rushed to the gate."
Huo Xiu Mao said solemnly: "If they can resist a little bit, they won't... die so many... at least, they can take away as many mortals as possible..."
Yu Xian looked at him deeply and said, "Taking away mortals rashly caused riots and caused too many people to rush out of the city. How can we ensure that the monsters will not chase us all the way?"
Huo Xiumao was stunned: "They are..."
"They left enough 'rations'." Yu Xian turned around and raised his arms to point to the ridge that everyone flew over when they came. "You see, the monsters were enjoying themselves here, so they did not choose to climb over the mountains, but followed the terrain. Feng Langjun. They made the right bet, didn't they?"
Everyone is silent.
"Let's go."
Yu Xian patted Huo Xiumao on the shoulder, nodded to Ran Kui, and then continued to fly forward.
She flew close to Jing Yingrong and said softly: "Junior Sister Jing, to be honest, for a moment just now, I suspected that you were not a human being."
Jing Yingrong: "...Why?"
Yu Xian: "When you see this situation, you don't have any human instinct to be touched. The way you look at those miserable elephants, I think, is like looking at stones."
Jing Yingrong: "They are all people who have nothing to do with me."
Yu Xian: "With such a clear distinction, the longer you live, the more rational you will be?"
Jing Yingrong thought for a while and said in an uncertain tone: "Maybe it has nothing to do with age."
Yu Xian looked at her, turned away and looked forward, with a smile of unknown meaning on his lips.
After crossing the city, the two teams saw many villages and small towns that had been ravaged by beast tides along the way. However, because the impact they received at the beginning was too huge, everyone became much calmer when they saw these small-scale tragedies later. As for the scattered monster beasts that did not follow the trend of beasts to the ruins, they did not pay much attention to them.
Not long after, Ran Kui and Yu Xian, who were flying at the front, stopped at the same time, followed by the people behind them. No one asked why, because everyone could see that in the narrow mountain col ahead, groups of monster beasts merged into a turbid river, constantly surging forward.
No one could see where the monsters were coming from, but they all knew that their destination was to the north of Fenglang County.
"Phew, we're almost ready to take action."
Yu Xian rubbed his hands, picked up the giant ax and put it on his shoulder. Huo Xiumao and others behind him also made a fighting gesture.
Ran Kui was stunned and said: "You don't have to worry, fellow Daoist Yu. The distribution of monsters in this section is relatively concentrated, which is not conducive to our battle. Let's go a little further east, where the monsters are relatively scattered."
Yu Xian chuckled and said, "It's okay. It's better to hit the ground than to choose a place. I think this place is pretty good."
