What was once a medium-sized country has now become the most fringe area on the battlefield. The river that has been transformed every day is flowing wantonly, trapping the human race in this area.
The people guarding this place are the Qi family who immediately defected to the demon clan and caused huge losses to this place.
In the former royal capital, the luxurious buildings have become their back garden, and the original owner did not succeed in escaping and became one of the dead people outside.
At this time, at the still glorious outer gate, the head of the Qi family, along with his confidants and others, followed someone respectfully.
"Okay, you guys are here. I am very satisfied with this inspection, but I hope you will continue to work hard and stay here. When the things are done, I will not treat you badly." The leader was a man with a very arrogant attitude, and he said to Qi
The head of the house pointed out without politeness.
"Yes, it's good that you are satisfied, sir. Everything is due to your leadership, otherwise we wouldn't have such achievements." The head of the Qi family said with a flattering smile.
Even though he is a master of Daluo and the other party is a heavenly messenger, his attitude is still very respectful. He cannot afford to offend anyone who is represented by the other party.
"As for your desire to establish a country, Your Majesty has already agreed. As long as you follow us, prosperity and wealth are the basics. This is the Heavenly Demon Pill given to you by Your Majesty as a reward for these years."
The messenger slowly took out a jade bottle and looked askance at the Qi family leader.
"Thank you so much, Sir Envoy, and Sir Cheng for the reward."
Needless to say, the head of the Qi family swung his hem, knelt on the ground and said with a low eyebrow, if anyone saw it, no one would believe that this scene actually happened, and it also happened to Da Luo.
The same is true for the people behind Master Qi. They all knelt on the ground. Those who can follow Master Qi wholeheartedly have no bottom line.
This gesture made the envoy extremely satisfied. He threw down his things and left. After he completely left, the Qi family leader and others slowly got up from the ground. Everything they had done before seemed to be used to it.
The head of the Qi family picked up the jade bottle from the ground and took a look inside, with a hint of fire in his eyes. With this, he could break through to the top.
"We will be in seclusion for a period of time. I will leave the outside affairs to you. If anyone is causing trouble, kill them directly. Anyway, there are not many people who are stupidly trying to get in." The head of the Qi family looked behind him.
He knew that there must be spies from the demon clan here, but it didn't matter. When he surrendered to the other party, he would already be under the control of the other party, which was much better than dying outside.
Everyone behind him said yes in unison, and then everyone retreated. The head of the Qi family also returned to the huge building complex behind him. Many human servants inside, when they saw him, put down what they were doing in fear and lowered their heads.
Say hello, he didn't even look at the room he was in.
In a real sense, he was left alone, and his hatred for the enemy far exceeded that of the enemy. His wife was assassinated by the opponent, even if he kept the opponent alive for decades and made the opponent suffer the consequences of life and death.
Even with the pain, it is impossible to get rid of the hatred in my heart.
There was a magic circle outside, and he swallowed the Heavenly Demon Pill without hesitation. Even if he became a human or a ghost, he was still willing to go, because only strength was the last thing he needed to settle down.
...
At this moment, Gu Zheng has crossed the uninhabited territory and arrived at the area controlled by the Qi family leader. It can be said that the people who failed to escape in time, as well as those captured by the demon clan, have already concentrated in this area. In fact,
Being trapped in dozens of cities, it is very easy to get in, and even getting out is not difficult.
However, few people escape here. The outside has long been the territory of the demon clan. On the one hand, you can't get anywhere even if you escape. The outside is even more dangerous. If you want to reach the area controlled by your own people, it may take several months.
, and once caught by the other party, the other party can eat you at will.
Only within a certain range of the city here can you avoid harassment. Don't think that you will be fine. In other words, everyone here is a captive human being, and they will be taken away without mercy if the other party needs it.
Life is always between day and night.
Maybe when you wake up, you will no longer see your neighbors. Even if you have enough food every day and you are not badly abused, this feeling of waiting to die makes people keep running away. Some monsters deliberately take advantage of these people for fun.
But the people inside didn't know at all. They didn't know whether the people who escaped were alive or dead, but they knew in their hearts that even if the demon clan didn't take action, the hope of survival was too small.
In the forest, a pair of young men and women were running quickly. They were breathing heavily and their chests were rising and falling rapidly. It could be seen that they were almost reaching their limit.
"Ouch!"
The woman's feet were suddenly stumbled by a hidden branch. The huge inertia made her unable to control herself at all, and she fell heavily to the ground. Fortunately, the ground was filled with fallen leaves, so she did not suffer much impact.
"Ye Zi, are you okay?" The man even turned around immediately, squatted down in front of the woman, and shouted anxiously.
"My feet." Ye Zi's eyes were filled with tears, "It seems like I can't walk anymore."
The blow just now made her foot hurt so much that she couldn't feel it at all now.
"Come up quickly, I'll carry you." The man immediately squatted down and asked the other person to lie behind him.
"I can't run away. You run away quickly. Don't ask me. Just let me be the bait to buy you some time." The woman did not move at all, but instead advised the man.
"If we want to walk together, if we die together, I can't leave you behind." The man turned around and shouted, then put his hands on Ye Zi's legs and waist, forcibly picked him up, and started running wildly again.
"Put me down, otherwise neither of us will be able to run away." Ye Zi buried her head in the man's arms and cried.
The man didn't speak, but his hand became stronger.
However, their physical strength had already reached the limit, and they ran with the leaves in their arms. They only ran for half a cup of tea. As their feet weakened, they both fell to the ground.
"Yi Zi, Ye Zi, you're okay." The man wanted to stand up, but found that he didn't even have the strength to stand up, so he immediately rolled over and came to Ye Zi's side.
"I'm fine. Let's die here. I'm afraid of dying with you." At this time, Ye Zi took off the fallen leaves from the man's face and said softly.
"I am the one who caused you trouble. If you don't run away..."
"Don't say that. I am willing to break into it with you rather than wait to die there."
Before the man could finish speaking, Ye Zi stretched out his fingers and covered the man's mouth. The man's body softened and he hugged the woman on his lap.
Both of them had reached their limit, but when they were desperate, they abandoned their fear and quietly waited for death to come.
“Wonderful, so wonderful!”
At this time, a very young demon clan appeared from the side, clapped his hands and walked out from the side.
"I have only heard other people say before that this situation is rare. Most of them fly away when disaster strikes. It's really touching."
This young demon clan even pretended to be moved and wiped his tears.
"Sir, please let us two go, or let Ye Zi go. I'll do whatever you want with me." The man was extremely flustered at first, then he let go of Ye Zi, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
"Well, it's not impossible not to consider it. As long as you commit suicide immediately, I can consider it." The demon clan said with a smile, his eyes full of expectation, and at the same time, an ordinary dagger fell in front of him.
"No, never."
Ye Zi grabbed the outstretched hand of the man next to him, shook his head and shouted.
"If you don't do this, you will all die. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will give it a try."
The man took away the opponent's hand, crawled forward a few times and took the dagger in his hand, and then stood up forcefully. The woman behind him was still crying. When she saw the dagger placed on the man's neck, she rolled her eyes and fainted.
.
"You keep your word. As long as I commit suicide, you will let her go." The man said to the young demon clan with the dagger in his hand trembling.
"Of course, I never lie." The demon clan laughed with an affirmative look.
As soon as the man closed his eyes, he touched the dagger in his hand toward his neck, but he didn't see the teasing look on the demon clan's face.
"Whoosh"
A stone flew rapidly from a distance, and hit his wrist just before the dagger was close to his neck. The severe pain caused him to let go of his hand, and the dagger fell directly to the ground.
"Who is causing trouble for me?"
The young man from the demon race looked around at the first moment and said in a bad tone. At this time, he thought that his own race was causing trouble for him. Sometimes he would interfere with prey when he met them outside.
As he finished speaking, a man appeared in front of him with a little girl, and his aura was obviously not that of the demon race, but that of a human being.
"You are so bold, you actually dare to sneak into our territory." The Yaozu youth was furious as he pointed at Gu Zheng. At the same time, he pointed at the opponent, and a black weapon emerged from behind and rushed towards Gu Zheng.
"Pa"
Wan'er's body swayed, and the black air in the air disappeared. The demon youth was spinning in the air like a whirlwind, and the blood in his mouth was spraying out like a fountain. When he landed, he had completely lost his voice.
.
"Dad, what should we do with the two of them?" Wan'er pointed at the two people underground.
On the way, they encountered many demon clans, but none of them were left behind.
"Are you the one escaping? It seems we are getting close." Gu Zheng got a lot of information about this place from Crab, more detailed than Xiao Yitian. When he saw the two of them, he knew they were escaping.
"I'll give them a brief treatment and send them over there. As for the rest, they should be able to walk over."
Gu Zheng flicked his hand, and a small bag of things fell on the man who had not figured out what was going on and was injured. The next moment, the two of them disappeared.
"Have you met a living god?"
The man's eyes blurred, and then he found himself in a strange place. Thinking about their previous conversation, it seemed that they were not from the demon clan.
"Where are we? I'm so scared."
Ye Zi also realized something was wrong at this time. He was in the woods before, and the surroundings were cool. Suddenly he felt a little hot around him. When he woke up from dizziness, he found that he had arrived at a grassland. He subconsciously stood up and walked to the man's side.
"I don't know, I seem to have met the immortal over there. He seemed to raise his hand and we came here. He said that we should go on our own. Ye Zi, your feet are ready." As he spoke, the man suddenly raised his voice.
, I was shocked and shocked.
"Yes, it's so magical. Is he also that immortal?" Ye Zi felt it and found that it was really healed, and exclaimed.
"And this, look!"
As he spoke, the man opened the bag in his hand. It was filled with food and a little water, which was enough for the two of them for three days. You must know that they only brought a few bites of food when they came out, which was barely enough to satisfy their hunger.
"That's great. If I meet you again in the future, I must thank you very much." Ye Zi also said excitedly.
"Let's go quickly."
The man took Ye Zi's hand, checked the direction, and continued heading south.
After these two people disappeared, Gu Zheng ordered Wan'er
"Let's keep walking. Don't take any random shots from now on. Avoid them."
"What if you meet this kind of person again?" Wan'er nodded and then asked.
"Then let me explain and let them feel Wan'er's anger." Gu Zheng laughed and immediately ran ahead.
"Dad, you are so annoying."
Wan'er stamped her feet and then chased after her.
Next, they met several demon clans, most of them were immortals in strength and should be new demon clans. They were spread out outside, and the main thing they wanted to do was wait for the escapees to appear and wait for their prey.
There are too many people, and people are escaping from various cities almost every day. They guard the outside boundaries. Once they exceed the prescribed area, it is time for them to have fun, and basically no one can escape successfully.
When the two people came to the dividing line, they could clearly see many people wandering around the border. The city was surrounded by flat land, all of which had been transformed. Except for some planting areas, everyone was allowed to walk except on the grass.
There is not a single tree outside.
Not far outside the border, there is a large area of virgin forest, from which you can see many ordinary animals, as well as those hanging wild fruits, but even so close, only those who are not afraid of death will go out to pick them.
Because although the outside is tempting, there is a high probability that you will not be able to come back. Almost only two out of ten people can come back. Although the fruit is very expensive, it is not worth buying with your life. And if you are alone, you may be taken back.
If you rob, only one kind of person will go.
"Hurry up, it's your turn today, or you will be rewarded if you come back."
Gu Zheng and Wan'er appeared in the team without anyone noticing, and of course they were dressed up. As soon as they entered, there was a commotion next to them, and a man in ragged clothes was pushed out.
"Sir, I don't want to go. Please, please, can you find someone else? I can do other work, no matter how hard or tiring it is," the man begged.
"You think so well. This kind of good thing has been robbed by others a long time ago. Let me tell you, if you want to find someone to do something now, it is too easy. Haven't you seen that so many people are waiting to die every day? Now I will give you a
Opportunity, if I can come back smoothly, will I let you be my follower for a year, haha." A slave in a green shirt and hat, who looked like he had been washed countless times, said arrogantly.
"Hurry up, or we will throw you out forcibly. Don't let the young masters down." Several lower-status slaves nearby shouted, and some even rolled up their sleeves and prepared to step forward.
When the man in front saw this scene, he knew that he had no choice but to go. Even if he refused to go, he would be beaten to death. It was not like he had never seen this kind of thing before.
With a sudden change in his heart, he ran directly towards the forest. He had no other choice but to pray that he might have better luck. Don't look too close. There is a way to see mountains and mountains far away. At his speed, it would take at least one cup of tea.
In order to enter, the so-called broken leg while running up the mountain is like this.
In fact, Gu Zheng had known for a long time that there was a demon clan waiting for him over there. The reason was very simple. Some people didn't have that much patience. Since they couldn't snatch it out openly, let them take the initiative to give it out.
Even if they are monsters, they will not kill innocent people indiscriminately if they don't want to suffer the consequences that they shouldn't have. But they don't know that there are no saints in this world. There is only a hint of heavenly influence, but it can no longer bind this place.
However, the problem is still short-lived, at least most people still maintain the same attitude.
They may know that the saint is not here, but it will be tragic if the other party comes back to settle accounts.
Filter these thoughts in your mind, and at the same time look at the man. Most of the people here are focusing their eyes on that. If this can be considered a kind of entertainment, it may be their only entertainment.
Now that they have met, Gu Zheng will naturally not ignore it, and it is just a simple matter. When the man rushes in and cannot be seen from the outside, the demon clan does not seem to have the intention to take action.
Picking the fruits, I started to do it when I was about to leave here.
But what surprised the demon clan was that he found that his method failed, and he watched helplessly as the other party escaped from the woods.
"Does anyone think we've gone too far?"
Thinking of the gossip that had been passed on before, which stopped their actions of actively sending people to death, the monster clan retreated in hiding.
"I'm out, I'm out."
The man, who didn't know that he was in a critical moment of life and death, couldn't help shouting when he rushed out of the woods, and even burst into tears with excitement.
"Hey, isn't that gentleman dissatisfied with this?" The man in the back, dressed in luxurious clothes, frowned slightly when he saw this scene, whispered to the servant next to him, and went back first.
"Let's go too."
Gu Zheng took Wan'er and continued to walk towards the city gate. This time he was dressed as a middle-aged man, while Wan'er was a tomboy.
Although there are so many cities here, most of them are just ordinary cities, where civilians are imprisoned as if in captivity. And in this largest city, where the Qi family is located, very powerful enemies such as General Lei are imprisoned.
Here, and in several surrounding cities, some weak enemies are also imprisoned.
Although there is also one of his goals, he must first come here to see how General Lei is doing now, to ensure his safety, and of course to inquire about the situation of the Qi family.
Theoretically, as long as you don't go out, you can spend the night outside. Inside and outside the city, there are huge temporary sheds, and everyone is crowded in them. The advantage is that there are many people and you are not afraid of the wind and cold, but the disadvantage is the smell.
It's really unforgettable.
Originally, Gu Zheng wanted to stay inside for a while and get some news, but before they got close, the two of them decided to go out and stay casually for the night.
He was not afraid, but Wan'er couldn't stand it. Even if it could be shielded, for the sake of her precious daughter, she couldn't go in.
