Chapter 166 Dragon Quest
As he walked forward, people ran away from him from time to time, and some well-meaning people asked him not to look back, but he ignored them.
Boom!
A wolf-headed fog beast suddenly rushed towards him from the corner of the street.
Violent, ferocious, greedy.
The essence and blood of warriors are an absolute tonic for them.
Especially the essence and blood of a strong man like Song Changming has a huge effect.
Therefore, when the fog beast saw Song Changming, it immediately came closer.
The scorching mist dissipating from this fog beast's body is very rich, and its aura is even more powerful.
There is no doubt that this is a high-level fog beast!
“Be careful, brother!”
In the corner, a young man dressed as a scholar in plain clothes thought that Song Changming had not noticed the high-level fog beast coming towards him, so he couldn't help but remind him.
Song Changming only glanced at him, then raised his hand and struck out seemingly casually.
The two front claws and the wolf head of the high-level fog beast leaping in the air were directly cut off by Song Changming's sword.
The high-level fog beast was instantly killed, and its body fell to the ground.
But Song Changming's body was not stained by even a drop of blood.
This understatement made the scholar's eyes brighten and he couldn't help but admire it.
"Expert temperament and good knife skills!"
"." Song Changming originally thought that the other party was just an ordinary unlucky scholar who was involved in this war and urban chaos.
But now that he saw that the other party could still evaluate his sword skills so calmly, Song Changming estimated that the other party was probably from the world of martial arts, not an ordinary scholar or scholar.
"Brother, it's not the 'Dragon Sword' Song Changming." The scholar's eyes then fell on Song Changming's dragon-patterned sword. He immediately guessed Song Changming's identity and seemed very interested.
"There is danger in the city, brother, you should be careful." Song Changming didn't have time to say anything to the other party, but he kindly reminded him, which was a disguised acknowledgment of his identity.
"Don't be afraid, I have it myself." Before the scholar could finish his words, the alley wall he was leaning on suddenly collapsed, and several fog beasts broke through the wall and exposed their heads.
The scholar was startled and ran out of the alley in a hurry.
"Brother Song, save me!" He shouted for help, completely different from the calm and composed look just now.
This made Song Changming confused for a while. What's going on with this person?
From the strength of the scholar's aura and other traces of physical training on his body, Song Changming was able to judge that although this person was a martial artist, he would not exceed the fifth level at most.
Faced with the sudden attack of several mist beasts, it was normal to panic.
It's just that the contrast between this person before and after was so great that Song Changming was stunned for a moment.
He thought he was a master, but in the end he was just pretending to be calm.
Seeing the other person approaching, although Song Changming did not dodge, he quietly paid attention to this person, and Ming Hai's mental power spread throughout his body.
He must be on guard against others. Once the opponent behaves abnormally, he will be able to detect it immediately and will kill him without hesitation.
The fog beasts roared twice at Song Changming, but they did not dare to approach.
After all, there is the corpse of a high-level fog beast on the ground, which is enough to make these fog beasts feel afraid.
Without the order of the person holding the mist gold, these mist beasts still know how to advance and retreat, and they are not completely brainless.
When Song Changming saw this, he didn't waste any time, took the initiative to approach, and killed all these fog beasts with a few sword blows.
The fog beast has extremely high defense and strong vitality. It is actually not easy to kill it instantly like this.
Especially when facing high-level fog beasts, and being able to break through defenses and kill them so easily, only an extreme martial artist can do this.
After killing all the fog beasts, Song Changming continued walking along the street.
"Brother Song, are you going to save someone?" Seeing that Song Changming was about to leave, the scholar immediately followed him and asked.
The scholar was very familiar with it, and he was carrying a large wooden box on his back. He didn't know what it contained, and it made banging noises from time to time due to shaking.
"No." Song Changming glanced at him and said calmly.
"It's not about saving people? Could it be that it's about killing people?" the scholar asked suddenly.
Song Changming paused and asked directly: "Why are you following me?"
The scholar scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Brother Song, you have also seen that there are many fog beasts here, and it is too dangerous for me to be alone."
"You can leave. I have killed all the bandits guarding the North City Gate." Song Changming said.
"Haha, it's not time to leave yet. I guess today's show has not yet begun. How can I leave without being a witness." The scholar suddenly laughed.
"A good show?" Song Changming frowned slightly.
"Yes, it's a good show." The scholar touched his chin without a beard and smiled unfathomably.
"What's the show?" Song Changming asked as he walked towards Houli Street without stopping.
It must be said that the scholar's few words and deeds really aroused his curiosity.
"I know that this city is being robbed today, and I also know that today there will be warriors who will defeat the evil dragon and save this city from water and fire. Do you think this is a good show?" The scholar said with a smile. Song Changming felt a little more surprised.
"Dragon Quest?"
"Yes, it's Dragon Quest?"
"How can you be sure that the brave man will definitely come today? And he will definitely be able to defeat the evil dragon?" Song Changming then asked.
"It is indeed difficult to predict whether the evil dragon can be defeated, but the brave man will definitely come today." The scholar said with certainty.
"This is the result of my divination and stargazing. It cannot be wrong."
"Divination and stargazing." Song Changming looked at the scholar, not sure for a moment whether he was a trickster or a real person.
He has also heard about the art of divination and stargazing.
In the past, he had thought that this was just a trick used by fake magicians to deceive others. It was difficult for him to believe that there were real people in this world who could predict the future.
He didn't believe what the scholar said in his heart.
Today, he was not in the mood to talk to the scholar any more.
"If you follow me again, the next step will be extremely dangerous, and I will not protect you." Song Changming gave a final reminder.
"Well, in that case, I won't disturb Brother Song. I'll go to Jinxiu Street first. If Brother Song has time and wants to watch a good show, remember to hurry up. If you miss the time, you won't be able to watch it."
The scholar finally said, carrying the wooden box and leaving.
Song Changming temporarily forgot about the scholar and hurried to Houli Street.
San Hutong had also been looted, including Song's house, which had been smashed so badly that even a section of the courtyard wall was broken.
Like locusts passing through, everything of value in the house has been emptied out, leaving nothing behind.
Then Song Changming went to Liang Chuanshan's house, which was not far away.
It was also smashed, and obviously the other party did not let go of the search because of the identity of Director Liang Chuanshan.
Lu Gang, who is also the director, suffered the same fate in the mansion.
The only good thing is that there are no signs of killing or fighting in the two mansions, and there are no corpses or traces of blood.
This shows that both Liang Chuanshan and Lu Gang saved their families as soon as they realized that the war was irreversible.
Most likely, the family members were sent out of the city.
Then Song Changming went to Zhao's house again.
In any case, the third sister Song Yu has married into the Zhao family. Putting aside everything else, if there is a chance to rescue Song Yu's husband Zhao Huaiming, Song Changming will still do his best.
He didn't want to see Song Yu become a widow early and shed tears every day, and Zhao Huaiming had always been kind to him and the Song family, and was worth saving.
In a street and alley, the Zhao family members, young and old, and Zhao Dezhi's wives are all here.
"How long are we going to stay in this stinky place?" One of the youngest concubines complained as she covered her mouth and nose with a scarf.
She was used to being the mistress of the Zhao family and was carried in a sedan chair when traveling. Being forced to walk in alleys like today made her very uncomfortable.
Zhao Huaiming ignored her, looked seriously, and carefully watched the situation on the street.
He was told by Zhao Dezhi that he came back specially to hide with his family.
He originally wanted to escape from the city, but unfortunately he missed the best time. Now the city gates on all sides were guarded by bandits, and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.
Thinking of this, Zhao Huaiming didn't know if his father regretted his previous refusal to follow Song Changming.
Anyway, he was slightly relieved.
Fortunately, he trusted Song Changming's words and handed over Song Yu's wife and children to Song Changming's care early on.
Now even if he dies in the city, at least his wife and children are still alive, which is considered lucky.
In today's city, there are many people who are worse off than him.
The concubine wanted to continue complaining, but suddenly a fog beast transformed into a giant python appeared over the wall and swallowed half of her body in one mouthful.
The screams exploded.
The servant held a machete and looked at the approaching giant python and mist beast, but he didn't have the courage to lift the knife to save people.
The python head that poked through the wall was too huge and ferocious.
The concubine was swallowed alive, seemingly effortlessly.
Zhao Huaiming's expression changed, and he didn't care about anything else, so he had to lead his team to evacuate quickly.
He knew how difficult these fog beasts were.
With his strength, let alone killing this mist beast, he couldn't even break its defenses. The only way to escape was to escape.
