Chapter 5522 City Gate
When he encounters the leader monster, Tang Zhen will definitely not show mercy.
With a shake of the long knife in his hand, the table in front of him was overturned, and the tributes and objects on it were scattered all over the floor.
"Seeking death!"
An angry roar came from the tree hole, followed by a fishy smell.
A figure about three to four meters tall with tentacles like snake tails all over his body was holding a spear and stabbed Tang Zhen.
The monster has a huge head and long and white cheeks, as if they were rubbed with flour.
A blood-red square mouth, with strange lines all over the face, and six eyes growing diagonally to both sides.
As the eyes blink, silver light flashes continuously.
He was extremely fast and rushed in front of Tang Zhen in an instant, raising his spear to pierce Tang Zhen.
Facing the enemy's attack, Tang Zhen just twisted his body slightly to avoid the sharp spearhead.
The long knife in his hand swept out diagonally and struck the snake-tail-shaped tentacles. It felt like a bundle of flexible old leather.
If it is an ordinary sword, it is often difficult to kill the monster when encountering this situation.
But the long knife in Tang Zhen's hand vibrated at an extremely high frequency, instantly cutting off the monster leader's tentacles.
Several smelly tentacles fell to the ground one after another, twitching and twisting continuously.
"Ant, I'm going to tear you into pieces."
The demon leader roared, throwing the spear in his hand everywhere, trying to beat Tang Zhen into a pulp.
Tang Zhen's body moved quickly, without requiring much movement, but he was always able to stand in the right position and launch fatal attacks on the enemy at the same time.
Every knife struck can cause heavy damage to the enemy.
If someone were watching the battle at this moment, they would definitely have the feeling that Tang Zhen was clearly playing tricks on his enemy.
This happened because Tang Zhen's experience and skill far exceeded his opponent's, and he used the most energy-saving method to fight the demon leader in front of him.
Within less than a minute of fighting, the monster fell to the ground.
That huge body was now in pieces, with broken limbs and broken arms scattered everywhere.
The stench of blood on the ground was even more unpleasant, and waves of stench kept coming towards our faces.
Tang Zhen did not waste time and directly extracted the demon blood, otherwise it would lose its effectiveness over time.
Finally, he lit a fire and burned the alienated tree, which was equivalent to destroying the demon's lair.
The owners of this village all died at the hands of demons. The best way to deal with it is to set a fire and burn all the filth.
After leaving the village, Tang Zhen continued to walk forward, looking for traces of other monsters.
The demons have their own territories and do not interfere with each other. Entering at will will be regarded as an infringement.
Although they belong to the same camp, they still inevitably fight and fight, and even become more crazy and cruel.
Tang Zhen calculated the time and knew that he could not go too far, so he decisively changed his route.
When dawn came, Tang Zhen returned to the city gate, waiting for the door to open and enter the city.
Just at this moment, the two demon-killing teams that they encountered last night returned and saw Tang Zhen at the gate of the city.
They looked happy and immediately took the initiative to talk, with respect and flattery in their tone.
Not long after, the closed city gate was opened.
People who were preparing to leave the city came out one after another, and most of them were transporting and collecting supplies.
Although it was destroyed by monsters, there are still many residual resources outside the city that can be used to maintain the operation of the city.
However, this kind of material collection requires a lot of risks, and a large number of troops must be followed and protected.
Among the people leaving the city were demon extermination teams, which went to various areas to clean up and conduct advance reconnaissance for the teams collecting supplies.
Tang Zhen saw some Loucheng residents among these crowds, who were obviously preparing to form a team to leave the city.
In order to improve their own strength, Loucheng residents racked their brains and personally modified and manufactured a large number of equipment.
Without looking at the sign above his head, he could tell that he was a resident of Lou City just by looking at the various equipment. They mingled among the crowd and interacted with the aboriginal people, and some of them couldn't wait to fool them.
The content inside and outside the words is to make the aborigines believe in the mutated tree demon.
Today's mutated tree demon has a noble name, called the Void Holy Tree True God, and has extremely powerful power.
As long as you sincerely pray to it, you will receive a response and protection, and you may even have a chance to gain extraordinary power.
If others don’t believe it, they will use themselves as an example to prove that they are not talking nonsense.
Most of the people who came to Loucheng residents were ordinary people, but now they became practitioners overnight.
Using this as evidence is indeed not a big problem.
Mortals in Huangxing often awaken their spiritual roots and possess the ability to practice. When disasters break out, there are more and more such awakened people.
Therefore, even if he awakens, he will not be regarded as a monster by others, but will be absorbed and cultivated by the authorities.
After all, there are only a very small number of people who can awaken independently. Not everyone can obtain extraordinary power.
Now there is a method that can allow mortals to receive shelter and even awaken to the extraordinary, which will definitely arouse the interest of the indigenous people.
In troubled times, who doesn’t want to seek shelter to keep themselves and their families safe?
In troubled times, it is difficult to achieve this. The vast majority of people can only go with the flow and leave their life and death to the control of fate.
When a disaster occurs, countless people pray to the gods for protection, but there is no response at all.
The miraculous gods who enjoy the incense and worship on weekdays disappeared when the disaster occurred.
In other words, these gods were originally invented by mortals and became the carrier of various desires.
It was this same disaster that convinced many aborigines that there were no gods at all.
Otherwise, why would the gods be indifferent in the face of catastrophe and betray the trust of believers.
Even if there is a real god, if he cannot come to rescue you when needed, what is the point of worshiping such a god?
The aboriginal people who have experienced disasters have now become very realistic and see no benefits. It is impossible for them to believe in any inexplicable gods.
Especially nowadays, demons are running rampant and often use various methods to confuse people's hearts.
I don’t know how many people have been bewitched by demons and ghosts and lost their lives in confusion.
Today's aborigines are very careful about this kind of thing, for fear of falling into a pit accidentally.
But as long as there are benefits, some people will definitely be willing to try it. Once the benefits are obtained, more people will be attracted to join.
The residents of Loucheng who left the city also saw Tang Zhen's figure, and they all showed surprised expressions.
They did not expect that some of their companions would choose such a mutilated body, which looked no different from a cripple.
But looking at Tang Zhen's condition, it didn't seem to be much affected, and he even gained the respect of a group of demon slayers.
The residents of Loucheng secretly expressed their surprise, but they did not take it too seriously and hurried to the area outside the city.
The residents of Loucheng who arrived are now in a state of competition, and no one wants their benefits to be taken away by others.
After the people leaving the city are cleared, the people who have been waiting outside the city can enter, and then go to different places along the streets.
Before they separated from Tang Zhen, both demon-killing teams sent out invitations, hoping that Tang Zhen could join them.
An accident occurred last night. Both teams suffered casualties and attrition. Recruiting new members is a necessary procedure.
If Tang Zhen joins them, the team's combat effectiveness will inevitably soar, killing more monsters and obtaining richer loot.
Now Tang Zhen is alone and does not belong to any team, so he must seize this opportunity firmly.
But their invitation received no response in the end.
Tang Zhen has no intention of cooperating. It is a waste of time for him to act with these low-level demon slayers.
Besides, if the demon slayer follows Tang Zhen, he will inevitably take huge risks, and there is a high possibility of losing his life.
But if you can persevere and ensure that you don't die, you will definitely reap great benefits.
