Chapter 422 Thirty million people are just standing... Oh, it wasn’t done by humans, so that makes sense
"The Eight Kings have already reached the capital?" Lu Xingshi listened to the gossip and was a little surprised. How long had it been?
Anyway, it only took a little more than two months in total. Is the Eight Kings so fast?
He is free to listen to gossip today, naturally because he is out of seclusion. On the one hand, he has successfully created the magic weapon and magic ship control technique, and on the other hand, he has completed research on the tissue samples of the flesh and blood star in the palace. There has been a lot of progress.
Through the samples he extracted, he initially suspected that this thing was an egg.
He didn't know what was inside, but according to his in-depth research, the egg was not active, which meant it was a dead egg.
The second is the origin, which is probably related to the Great Immortal Huanxi.
Through comparison, the data extracted by Lu Xingshi overlapped to a certain extent with "Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang Hehuan Da Le Fu".
It is unlikely that he is the Great Immortal Hehuan, but if he is his descendant, the probability is not small.
But he didn't understand why it was a dead egg.
It stands to reason that it should be alive in terms of external appearance.
The cries alone were proof enough.
So when he came out of seclusion, he came over immediately... to kill Emperor Zhao.
The reason why he didn't kill two months ago was because his cultivation skills and ship control skills were not enough. However, in the two months since he cheated, not only had he completed the ship control skills, but his cultivation skills had also reached the level of Gong Jing Guoshi. Degree.
At least there were two-digit overhauls left. Not only could he kill them all by himself, but with his ship control skills, he would have no problem killing half of them at once.
"This little brother also came to the capital to seek refuge?" The person who just spoke was a little surprised.
"To be precise, it's called escape." Lu Xingshi changed his tone.
"This... alas, there are ruthless tyrants inside and rebellious kings outside. After all, this world is..." The man sighed after hearing this.
"It's not good to say it so bluntly." Lu Xingshi was a little bit confused. Wasn't the control still very serious before? Why are you so relaxed now?
"The unscrupulous tyrant has killed so many people that there is no one left to serve him." The other party said angrily.
It’s true that you have power, and you can even take over life and death, but why should people serve you? Everyone knows that working for you is a dead end, so who can help you?
Just like the ancient cave legends, they did have enough strength, but if they had not chosen to contact the aristocratic family, but followed their idea of killing the strong, they would have suffered the same fate.
I'm going to do something for you. If you don't get it done, you'll kill my whole family. If you don't get it done, you'll still kill my whole family.
If you kill too much, it won't happen if you don't do it, but others will do it, and everyone will just run away.
If you don't do it, some people will do it, but the prerequisite is that your whole family's lives will not be in danger and you are not a moody lunatic.
Otherwise, the people above you kill your own people every day, no matter whether they have meritorious deeds or not, and they all do it for fun, and no one will join you at all.
Just like the current Emperor Zhao, this is the situation.
"There were originally 30 million people in the capital, but now there are only 5 million left. Who dares to work for such tyranny?"
When the other party said this, Lu Xingshi was also shocked. These were 25 million people. Even if they stood and let Emperor Zhao kill them, they couldn't possibly be killed in two months. If he still believed it in two years.
However, the fact that the capital city has a population of 30 million is indeed beyond his expectation. He thought it would be at most 10 million.
Although the capital is a city, it is a province, and a population of tens of millions is normal.
In fact, the population in this fairy world is quite large. The capital city is considered to be below average, and the population in other provinces is even greater.
This kind of development in the population is mainly due to the existence of immortals and gods, which causes productivity and birth rate to be affected by magical powers.
For example, if someone asks for a child, there will be a corresponding response from the gods and gods, so basically there is no such disease as infertility.
And from time to time, gods would send down rain or walk around the world to treat illnesses and save people. The mortality and premature death rates were actually not that high.
But that was before, and this kind of treatment is definitely gone now.
"Brother, I can understand that an unethical tyrant kills people, but how can it be effective to kill 25 million people at once? I remember that he is not a monster if he does not practice Taoism, right?" Lu Xingshi asked again, he felt This is most likely a rumor. Does an ordinary person have this ability?
"Well, it's a long story, and we have to start with the Demon Queen giving birth..." The other party spoke up and explained the situation.
Probably this couple gave birth to a pair of strange babies.
"The current queen gave birth to a dragon and a snake?" Lu Xingshi also started to cry at this time.
He knew that the Xianxia world might not be so strict in terms of reproductive isolation, but if you gave birth to these two things by yourself, there would be problems no matter how you looked at it.
The reason for the sharp decline in population is naturally because of this pair of dragons and snakes.
Dragon and snake cannibals, at first they swallowed thousands of people a day. Later, their appetites grew and grew, and they became so exaggerated.
"Exactly, one is a ruthless tyrant, and the other is a demon queen who brings disaster to the country. They are really evil." The other party's face looked very ugly.
"Then why didn't everyone escape?" Lu Xingshi asked another key question.
If three to five thousand people died, it would make sense not to escape. After all, they only accounted for a small part of the population. But now that so many people have died, the remaining people are still staying in the city waiting to die. Isn't there something wrong with that. With the current way of eating, everyone will have to be eaten in a few days.
"The dragnet has fallen into the hands of the tyrant. He is allowed in but not allowed out. Unless we wait, we will not escape."
"You, you thought you were fleeing, but now you have fallen into a trap." The other party said in a pitiful tone.
Originally, it was most difficult to survive outside, but now it's better, and it's like waiting to die.
Lu Xingshi chatted with the other party for a few more words, and soon discovered one thing, that is, the tyrant and the demon queen seemed to have mastered extraordinary power, but this extraordinary power was not a result of cultivation, but a brand new system.
Whether they are evil ways, demons, monsters, or ascetics, even if they take different paths, they all belong to the immortal system of cultivation. However, the tyrant demon queen does not have similar characteristics, and is more like the karma of the evil world of five turbidities.
After some communication, the other party didn’t know the specific situation and no one had time to hide. How could they go out of their way to get close to the couple?
While they were chatting, a huge black shadow passed by in the sky.
Lu Xingshi clearly saw that it was a dragon, but it was different from the dragons he had seen. The scales were not flat, but extremely ferocious.
The man who was chatting with Lu Xingshi pulled Lu Xingshi and hid in the house.
"This is the demon dragon that the demon queen gave birth to." There was fear in the other party's expression. He was not as careful as Lu Xingshi, but it was not the first time he saw a demon dragon flying across the sky. This meant that It’s time to start eating today.
After the demon dragon passed by, he heard movement again. Lu Xingshi used Zhao Yue to quickly see a black snake rushing behind the demon dragon.
One is flying in the sky and the other is crawling on the ground.
Snakes are slightly slower than dragons.
"This dragon snake seems to be heading outside the capital. What's going on?" The middle-aged man chatting with Lu Xingshi breathed a sigh of relief, but also asked doubtfully.
"Could it be that...the Eight Kings are here." Before Lu Xingshi could speak, he gave his guess.
"The possibility is not small, but as long as we don't eat you and me, it's easy to talk about." Lu Xingshi said with a smile, and then prepared to say goodbye: "Thank you for clearing up the confusion, brother. I am also going to find a safe place to hide for a while. "
They knew almost everything, and the other party didn't have any more information, so Lu Xingshi naturally planned to leave first.
I have to say that Lu Xingshi was lucky this time. He met someone who was good at asking questions right away. Otherwise, Lu Xingshi would have to ask more people.
As for saying that the information given by the other party is wrong, it's actually not a big deal.
He was more interested in understanding the recent situation and developments, and had no intention of knowing the true situation of the Tyrant and the Demon Queen through inquiring.
"Yes, yes, go quickly, while the demon dragon and the demon snake are not here, it is indeed a good opportunity." Naturally, the other party did not persuade Lu Xingshi to stay. They met by chance, and the offer just now was already the limit, and it was impossible to really take him in.
Today's capital is about to turn into a battle royale mode.
Fortunately, because many people died, food was not a problem for the time being, so there was no problem of cannibalism.
Order still exists, mainly because you just claimed the throne this morning, but in the afternoon you were swallowed by a demon snake or dragon. That would be very funny.
Moreover, few people can form a force. Too many people are like a piece of cake to the dragon and snake, and they can eat it with their mouths. If they are scattered, it will be much more troublesome to eat.
Not only do you need to open your mouth, you also need to use magic and magical powers to gather it.
After Lu Xingshi left this place, he headed straight towards the palace.
As we walked all the way, it was extremely quiet everywhere, with no sound at all.
Mainly because the pair of dragons and snakes had just arrived, even if there were people, they didn't dare to say anything for fear of being caught and eaten.
All the prosperity of the capital has disappeared, leaving only a mess.
‘Many Taoists had come to the capital before to prepare to get rid of this flesh and blood star, but I don’t know what happened now. ’
‘It’s not like they were all fed to dragons and snakes. ’ An idea came to Lu Xingshi’s mind.
Although the cultivators have good intentions, they are still smart and should be able to escape if they cannot be beaten.
But if he really couldn't escape, it meant that the capital had indeed turned into a devil's cave.
As for the Eight Kings? I'm afraid he is no match for Dragon Snake.
No matter how many opponents there are, can there still be more than 25 million people? This pair of dragons and snakes should be more ferocious than the former Imperial Master Gong Jing.
This inspired Lu Xingshi a lot. He killed the tyrant demon queen first, and then the dragon and snake monsters. He didn't ask much, just give him a meritorious amount that could produce four earth evil fruits.
The tyrant demon queen may have less, but each of the dragon and snake demons is guaranteed to have a minimum of two Earthly Evil Dao Fruits.
‘There is also the flesh and blood star as the source. It would be best if we can deal with it together. ’
