Chapter six hundred and ninetieth disaster prelude
Chapter 690 The Prelude to the Catastrophe
Half a year later, in a forest outside Yong'an County, Shuofang County of the Great Song Dynasty, there was a "swish" sound, and a sharp arrow pierced the air, nailing a monster that looked like a hare, but had a mouth full of fangs and was as big as a dog to the ground.
The arrow was quite powerful. After pinning the monster to the ground, a faint yellow light lit up on its surface, as if it was connected to the earth and fixed the monster on the arrow.
Even though the monster's vitality was tenacious, even if its heart was penetrated, it was still alive for a moment. It still had a fierce look in its eyes and struggled with its four legs digging on the ground, but it still couldn't break free. It took a while before it took its last breath.
After a while, after seeing that all the blood from the monster was gone, almost filling the small hole dug by it, a man wearing camouflage leather armor and holding a bow and arrow walked out of the bushes in the distance.
After the evil disaster came, countless animals and plants were infected by the evil energy and mutated into monsters with ferocious temperaments and powerful physiques. Only elite hunters who have mastered the folk martial arts taught by the government for free can hunt and kill monsters.
Li Dashan is such a person.
His father was originally the best hunter in the village. After the evil disaster came, the village was destroyed by the demon. The remaining villagers managed to escape with the rescue of officers and soldiers, and then formed a new town not far from the county seat, so he has been attracted by him since he was a child.
Dad took me to practice hunting techniques and folk martial arts.
He also had some talent, and after he reached adulthood he became a famous hunter within a ten-mile radius, collecting rewards from the government by killing scattered demons in the wild (the government offered unrestricted rewards to the private sector for demon heads or cores).
In order to mobilize civilian forces to the maximum extent to fight against demonic disasters), and to hunt demonic beasts to break down fur, sinews, flesh, flesh, viscera and other materials in exchange for money, he has become rich.
Only then did he have enough money to buy the "Wilderness Concealment Leather Armor" and the "Iron Tire Piercing Bow". This is said to be one of the best hunting equipment that a civilian hunter can get.
He had been staring at the "Tusk Rabbit" for three hours, and finally shot it while it had just finished eating and was basking in the sun and taking a nap under the shade of a tree. However, the "Tusk Rabbit" had a vicious temperament and was prone to being
Before he died, he violently injured people, so he had to make sure that they were bleeding to death before daring to get close. Despite its small size, the "Tusk Rabbit" was more ferocious and bloodthirsty than the wild wolves of the old days.
He lifted up the dead "Tusk Rabbit" with one hand, then looked at the arrows that had lost their luster and become ordinary, and said to himself regretfully: "This magic arrow with the talisman imprinted on it is powerful, but it's a pity that
They are all one-time use, and you will have to spend a lot of money to recharge them at the Weapon Refining Workshop when you go back. If you hadn't killed a monster this time, you would have lost money."
Weapon refining workshops are semi-official commercial institutions jointly established by the government and extraordinary practitioners of magic. They are located in every town in the Song Dynasty and can create weapons or magic weapons that transcend the ordinary for buyers.
The larger the town, the higher the level of the weapon refinery, and the more powerful objects it can create.
It's just that it's expensive, and most people can't afford it. However, the teeth and bones of monsters like "Tusk Rabbit" are materials for refining weapons, and some people buy them at high prices, so even if one magic arrow is consumed, Li Dashan can't afford it.
This trip is also profitable.
With a sigh, Li Dashan quickly packed up the "Tusk Rabbit", put it in his backpack, cleaned up the traces on the ground, and quickly left the forest and ran towards the town.
The smell of blood will attract wild beasts and monsters. Although I haven't heard of any reports of demons appearing in groups in the past six months, I am afraid of the worst. If I don't leave, I may encounter danger.
Just as he was running halfway, suddenly, the sky turned dark!
He thought dark clouds were gathering and it was going to rain, but when he raised his head, his eyes immediately widened!
I saw a huge crack in the originally clear sky. I don’t know when a huge crack appeared! This crack was an unknown number of miles long. I just felt that it stretched across the sky, it was endless, and it was dozens of miles wide. It actually blocked the entire position of the sun.
Live! It looks like a trace of the sky dividing the sky into two halves!
Moreover, as time goes by, this mark in the sky is still slowly expanding!
"The sky...the sky is falling! Oh my God, this is the sky falling!" The traces of the sky blocked the sunlight and plunged the earth into darkness. Li Dashan was so panicked that he immediately spent his energy and blood,
Using the lightness skills in folk martial arts, he quickly fled to the county town.
In ancient times, even solar and lunar eclipses, meteors and comets were regarded as ominous omens and caused panic, let alone such a scene that seemed like a collapse of the sky.
After all, Li Dashan was just a folk hunter with little knowledge. When he saw such an ominous celestial phenomenon, he immediately panicked. He only wanted to return to the city to stay with his family immediately - he had already connected his family to the network after he became rich.
Live in the county town because the county town is safer than the town.
On the way back to the county town, he saw a lot of people fleeing to the county town, all in big and small packages, looking panicked, as if they were fleeing. The birds in the sky were also circling in the sky, making shrill screams, and even more
Rendering an atmosphere of terror.
When he arrived at the county town, he found that the county town had been shrouded in a faint layer of clear light. The clear light exuded a calming, pure and peaceful atmosphere, which immediately calmed down his heart.
Only then did he realize that the city gate had been blocked by people fleeing from all directions. If it had not been for the effect of this layer of clear light, there would have been trampling and fighting.
The county officials and soldiers, under the leadership of the officers, began to maintain order and let people into the city.
Li Dashan breathed a sigh of relief and queued up in order. After half an hour, he finally entered the city and returned home to reunite with his family. Only then did he let go of his thoughts, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel panic and doubt about the crack in the sky.
But as civilians, even hunters with some strength can only secretly pray to God for blessing and wait for the official announcement.
At the same time, similar scenes abound across the land of China. Most of them stabilized the mood of the people with the appeasement of the government and the timely activation of the Qingxin Concentration Mantra in the city. However, there are also a few government officials who lacked execution capabilities and failed to deal with it in time, resulting in
There were riots, and some towns were even raided because of the presence of hidden demons. Although they were finally put down, they still caused a lot of casualties.
At the same time that the celestial phenomena were changing, the original deity and avatars such as Yun Canghai, Mo Yunzi, and You Longzi were everywhere, Zhao Kuangyin who was in the capital of the gods, the Jianzhen monk who was cultivating in secret, and the heads of various sects in the world, etc.
Some insiders all looked up at the sky, with various thoughts in their hearts.
