Chapter 3106: Is There a Monster?
"That Yang Xiu has no official position, right? How can he be invited to serve as a general?"
"Yes, that's why I think Cao Zhen doesn't want to help me at all. Instead of wasting time here, it's better to rush to the imperial capital as soon as possible, determine Zhuge Jin's location, and then find another way."
Bai Chen looked at the pond with lingering fear, and suddenly jumped over the courtyard wall.
...
In order not to attract attention, Bai Chen and his four companions climbed over the city wall in the south of the city overnight, then passed through a bamboo forest and detoured to the north.
"Brother Bai, it's late at night, and you don't even prepare a carriage. Do you want us to walk to the Eternal Night Emperor?"
Ma Su is still drowsy.
He was suddenly woken up by someone breaking into the room, and he still hasn't explained the specific reason. He must be in a bad mood.
"In an emergency, I will tell you what happened when I have time."
Bai Chen's figure shuttled between the woods, startling the black crows next to him to fly into the sky.
Xiaoliu's soul circle can detect strong people who do not emit spiritual power fluctuations, but why did they suddenly disappear?
Could it be that he tore the void directly with his hands?
But if so, Xiaoliu should be able to feel the change of the power of space.
Bai Chen really couldn't figure out this strange and somewhat terrifying woman. Now he just wanted to find Zhuge Jin as soon as possible. As long as he could recall the power of chaos, with the Chaos Ghost Eye, he would no longer be afraid of these mysterious things.
...
One month later.
The Northern Territory Continent is vast. It is the early winter season. The further north you go, the colder the climate.
Because there is no sunshine all year round, the northern land is covered with snow.
In the wind and snow, there is no carriage on the street.
The scene of the thick snow blocking the door made Bai Chen smack his lips repeatedly.
"The snow in Yancheng is too heavy, is it the same in the capital of Yongye?"
Walking in the thick snow, Tang Qin kept her balance and looked at Ma Su and asked.
In the middle of winter, a woman wearing such thin clothes, with her long legs pure and clean, wading in the snow, stunned many people in the yard on the street.
"The imperial capital Xuchang is a first-class ancient city, so it is naturally protected by a guardian spirit formation. It will not be covered by snow like this small Yancheng."
Ma Su smiled faintly.
"But it is not covered at all, it is not even up to the windows. I am really curious about how the people here live."
Hearing Tang Qin's words, Ma Su smiled and said, "There is no way. The bad climate is the fate that the entire Yongye Empire cannot escape. People living here have long adapted to eating snow."
"Eat, eat snow?!"
Lin Mengyao and Tang Qin exclaimed at the same time.
"Snow can relieve hunger and quench thirst, why not?"
Ma Su asked back.
Seeing that he said it so calmly, Tang Qin curled her lips in disapproval. It seems that although the Eternal Night Empire is large, the lives of the people are not as comfortable as those in Shangyong City.
"Brother Ma, do you know why the Eternal Night Empire has become the land of Eternal Night?" Bai Chen asked curiously, kicking away the snow pile in front of him.
As the sharp foot wind whistled away, the snow in front of them exploded directly, and a wide road extending to the distance appeared.
"Wow!"
Suddenly showing such a hand, it immediately caused many children to exclaim in the distance.
But those adults took the children and hid in the house in time.
"This..."
Ma Su obviously hesitated when he heard it.
"Why, it's not convenient to say?" Bai Chen frowned.
"I guess so." Ma Su raised his eyes to look at the moonlight and suddenly stopped.
On the originally peaceful night, there should be only the sound of wind and snow whistling, but for some reason, a burst of fighting sounded in the distance.
The four looked at each other, and Ma Su suddenly jumped into the air and came to the eaves next to him.
With the wide field of vision, he saw a group of people wearing animal skin cotton robes in the distance, slaughtering villagers.
"Damn it, they dared to... in broad daylight!" Ma Su couldn't help but look up at the sky as soon as he said this. His old face immediately turned red with embarrassment, and he spread his palms and raised them upwards.
Then a light green glow began to rise slowly from his palms, and a very warm breath instantly surged up from the ground.
"Five Thunder Array - Thunder Curse!"
Rumble!
At the moment when the green array spread, a dark purple thunder suddenly fell from the sky, and it fell to the distance with a bang.
"Okay, let's go over."
Ma Su clapped his hands and jumped down from the eaves.
As for what happened in front, even if Bai Chen didn't see it, he could probably guess it.
…
“Child, don’t scare daddy, don’t scare daddy!”
Amidst the bloody corpses, a man in cloth clothes was holding a two or three-year-old child in his arms, crying bitterly.
The child was covered in blood and had already died. When Bai Chen and his four companions arrived here, the scene in front of them was very sad.
However, they had all experienced wars, and were used to seeing mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. Scenes like this would not make them too sad.
“Why did those people want to kill you?”
Bai Chen walked over first.
Hearing this, the man raised his eyes in shock, and his dry eyes were obviously filled with deep fear.
"My benefactor, please leave quickly, don't ask questions, and don't come back again! I, Cheng Qian, can only repay the kindness of saving your life in the next life!"
The man put down the child with heartache in his eyes and knelt down to Bai Chen without any explanation.
Seeing this, Bai Chen moved his handprints, and a gentle strong wind instantly dragged the man's knees up.
"When a man is born in this world, he can kneel to his parents and his master, but he can never kneel to anyone else!"
Bai Chen stepped forward and helped him up.
"Benefactor..."
When the man heard these words, he burst into tears.
"Don't get excited yet." Seeing him crying, his ribs trembling, Lin Mengyao quickly asked: "Since this has happened to us, we will never ignore it, don't be afraid ”
"But...but I'm afraid you will also be implicated!" The man's expression was distorted because he was in too much pain.
"If you want to threaten us, it's not my fault. There really aren't many such people in the Eternal Night Empire."
Ma Su began to get carried away again.
But his unruly temperament is really not something that ordinary strong men can possess.
Seeing Ma Di's extraordinary temperament, the man seemed to see hope and cried quickly: "There is a monster! There is a monster over there in Longhu Mountain. He killed the bandit leader there, and then led the bandits everywhere to arrest children under the age of three. children, and then rip out their hearts...that monster is a beast!"
"Y-youkai?!"
Ma Su's eyes widened in surprise.
