It is as desolate as the Gobi Desert, with apocalyptic ruins, flying sand and rocks, interspersed with bursts of weeping sobs, white bones and remains everywhere, and billowing black clouds of smoke, which makes people feel like they have fallen into hell.
Looking from a distance, ordinary people can't see the end of the city, but there are traces of the town for dozens of miles, indicating the prosperity of the past, but it looks like a ghost, not even a mouse can be seen.
After the outbreak of the Demonic Tribulation, Youzhou was the most serious and the earliest place where the Demonic Rebellion broke out in the Eastern Song Dynasty. Almost 90% of the entire state was transformed into a demonic realm, with only a few places where resistance remained.
As early as many years ago, most of Youzhou fell into the hands of the Beijin barbarians. The human race was brutally slaughtered and demoted as slaves. Their status was not even as good as that of animals. They were even reduced to rations during wars, and there were countless casualties.
For the human race, although the demonic calamity is more terrifying, seeing that the barbarians were also slaughtered by the demons that rushed out from the ground, there was not much resistance. Among the devastated ordinary races, many even defected. Opposite.
Even if someone is rescued occasionally, they will not be grateful. Instead, they have been betrayed many times by humans who have taken refuge in the demons!
Of course, it is not ruled out that some weak and desperate people are bewitched. After all, the demons have so many weird methods, and showing a little "miracle" to capture people's hearts is nothing.
The population base of the human race is too large, and there will always be some who are greedy, selfish, and weak-willed.
Among this group of people, there are some who are extremely talented. After becoming demons, they will become the vanguard of the demon clan's raging in China, and they will serve as scouts. There are also many low-level people who are devoted to the demon clan under their command, forming a large number of people. power.
"The Moon Worship Cult!"
Wu Ming walked silently among the rubble, his eyes flickering, "Black dragon, silver star, weeping blood, multiple eyes, painted bones!"
The five major cult organizations are the five clans under the leadership of the Moon Worshiping Sect. Others don't know it, but he already knows from the inheritance of the Three Saints' Nirvana from the inner demons that these are the five major royal families of Demon Star Tianyuan!
The moon represents the first demon clan among the demon clan, known as Ziyue. It is the most noble and powerful clan among the demon clan!
In addition to these six major ethnic groups, there are also branch and subordinate ethnic groups such as Gong, Hou, Bo, Zi, etc., with a strict power hierarchy.
Compared with the many temples of the human race, although the demon race has the most powerful clan, the Ziyue Demon Clan, they never take care of things and only enjoy the worship of all races. No one dares to disobey the rebels. The various forces in China are really too mixed.
People's hearts are unpredictable, especially among the intelligent people!
The power of the demons themselves far exceeds that of China. If it weren't for natural limitations and various coincidences, and even if our ancestors were not afraid of death, China would have fallen long ago!
And Youzhou is the territory of the Black Dragon Society!
As the strongest ethnic group in Demon Star Tianyuan besides the Purple Moon Demon Clan, the Black Dragon Society has a high say in the military operations of the demon world invading major foreign lands, and it also possesses the best resources.
Of course, we still have to pay tribute to the Purple Moon Demon Clan!
"Um?"
Wu Ming raised his eyebrows, his figure shimmered slightly, and he completely blended into the shadow of the corner.
rustle!
Not long after, a team of six men and women carefully walked through the ruins.
It can be seen that these people are very careful. There is a hidden treasure light flashing around their bodies, and sometimes the evil smoke flashes by, but it does not touch their bodies in the slightest. Instead, it disperses on its own, and will not gather again until it passes.
If it weren't for Wu Ming's amazingly powerful spiritual consciousness, he wouldn't have been able to discover it.
Moreover, according to his observation, these talismans not only have the ability to isolate the evil spirit, but also avoid powerful perception and spiritual detection. They are especially restrained against many abilities of the demons.
"One Grand Master and five Grand Masters should be considered an elite team among the scavengers in Youzhou!"
Wu Ming observed silently and quickly made a judgment.
The so-called scavengers are a group of warriors or strong men of various races who want money rather than their lives, put their heads in their waistbands, and risk their lives to break into dangerous places like Youzhou in search of opportunities.
Of course, they would rather be called demon hunters, but real demon hunters look down on this type of people at all.
A true demon hunter is a type of existence that accepts the demon hunting orders issued by various tribes in the temples, hunts demons to gain military merit, and exchanges for treasure opportunities!
Compared with the former, this is the real knife-edge licking blood. The former would never want to go head-to-head with the demons unless they had to!
But no matter how you say it, dangers still exist, because in areas like Youzhou that are almost completely occupied, there are real strong demons who can leave the demon cave and run rampant on the ground.
Not to mention, there are hundreds of millions of demon corpses wandering around.
A demon corpse is nothing on its own. At most, it is just copper skin and iron bones, comparable to a warrior of artistic conception. However, if it is a real life-and-death fight, as long as you are not stupid and have a few more careful minds, even if you cannot kill the demon corpse, your life will not be in danger.
But if you are surrounded by several people, there is no possibility of escape without special means.
If there are hundreds of them, they can form a demonic cloud, and even innate warriors cannot escape, because they cannot fly under the demonic cloud.
Therefore, a pioneering team like this, led by a great master and whose members are all masters, is already quite extraordinary.
"There are some tricks!"
Wu Ming observed that this group of pioneers had a very clear goal. They went straight to a street in the city. Their spiritual consciousness quietly reached that place first and discovered several unbroken formations hidden inside.
Law fluctuations.
Although there were early signs of the demonic calamity, Youzhou was the first to bear the brunt. During the chaos, the city was almost destroyed. Many things could not be taken away, so naturally many treasures were left behind.
Looking at the architectural remnants of that street, it is not difficult to find that it was once a prosperous commercial street in the city.
To be able to build such a large-scale trading company in a big city with such a precious land, the power and background are obviously extraordinary. If there are hidden treasures in it, even the great master will be tempted.
In fact, a situation like this has already formed a certain industrial chain from a period of time after the outbreak of the demonic chaos until now.
Many casual cultivators have formed teams to focus on places like this, risking their lives to retrieve treasures.
Good luck, opportunity comes to you, bad luck, Tao disappears!
But there is another situation, that is, a big force with a huge background that can insert the business industry into other areas. If they don’t want their direct lineage to be damaged, they will outsource the actions to recover the losses to a team of capable scavengers.
.
Of course, this also includes the situation where the sects that were originally here, after being unable to withstand the attack of the demons, had the strength to retreat, but their property could not be taken away in time.
In this way, after signing a certain contract or conducting a secret notarization in the Temple, the detailed address of the property and the method of opening the ban will be provided for the scavenger team to retrieve the treasure.
These are all the basic common sense after the demonic tribulation that Wu Ming has learned in recent months!
Looking at the current situation, this scavenging team most likely belongs to the latter. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some defected from the sect or were left with only two or three big and small kittens. They were alone and unable to retrieve the sect's inheritance, so they hired foreign aid.
situation.
Whoosh!
Occasionally, there are lone demon corpses scurrying around the city, roaring and running around, but they are chased by demonized wild dogs and cats, and the existence of these people is not discovered at all.
"It took three years to get the inheritance, and it was with the help of external forces. Was it a mission issued by a lucky person in the temples after escaping the evil tribulation, or was it because his own strength had grown and he was in the team?"
Wu Ming is not interested in the goals of these people. With his current strength, cultivation, and vision, unless it is an extremely special and precious treasure, it must be at least the level of a Taoist treasure to arouse his interest.
But he has been patrolling around the border of Youzhou for five or six days. Even with his temperament, it is a bit boring. It is good to have something like this to change it!
Moreover, I have seen the scavenger team several times before, but nothing special happened, let alone any contact with them.
Wu Ming was also convinced when he saw one of the women, who was about twenty years old and quite good-looking, skillfully using a special treasure to perform a secret seal to open one of the restrictions with formation fluctuations.
This is the lucky remnant of a certain force. As for whether he is the supervisor sent by that force, but seeing that she handed most of the treasures inside to the powerful grandmaster, she only took one of the more special ones.
Treasure is enough to be sure!
With the harvest, several team members were also quite happy. Although it did not dilute the desolation and coldness of this place, it was still a joyful thing.
Of course, this is only half the work. Only by leaving alive and realizing the treasure or converting it into strength can it be considered a real success!
Except for Wu Ming, a bystander, and another team hiding on the side, no one saw that a middle-aged master warrior in that team suddenly turned his hands into dark green and slapped the captain on the back of the heart.
.
"you……"
After all, the captain was a powerful Grand Master. His cultivation level was pretty good and his true energy was solid enough. He actually withstood the poisonous erosion. However, he didn't expect that the other party would sneak attack. He was seriously injured and his combat power was greatly reduced.
Ever since, a rather bloody murder and treasure hunt has begun!
Another team came out of the darkness and surrounded the pioneer team. The leader was also a strong master, but one of the young men was obviously familiar with the woman in the former team.
Wu Ming's prediction was correct. Both of them were survivors of the same human-level sect. The difference was that the woman was a true successor, and the young man was only an inner sect. He was far from being able to touch the core secrets of the sect. He could only use this method to seize it.
.
This kind of thing is so common in the land of chaos and happens almost every day. Wu Ming has no intention of caring about it, even if these people will fight next!
After a fierce quarrel, it turned into mutual insults. The former did not compromise and chose to break out, but was easily surrounded by the latter.
But before they could successfully seize the target, everyone stopped and looked at the sky in horror.
In the west, the sunset that was supposed to be when the sun was rising did not appear. Under the dark evil clouds, like evil soldiers passing through, a series of demonic shadows appeared, spreading towards the city.
"It finally appeared. It's worth looking for for so long!"
Compared to the panic of the two teams, Wu Mingming was unusually calm, his eyes full of curiosity and inquiry, "A hundred ghosts walk at night!"
