Chapter 64: Memorial
After dealing with the bear demon, Li Hao noticed movement in the cave next to him.
When he inspected the area with his spirit, he saw seven survivors in ragged clothes. They were both men and women, all in their twenties and thirties. There were no children or elderly people.
The hands and feet of the seven people were tied with chains, and the other end was passed through a gap in the middle of a large stone. Unless the large stone could be dragged, there was no way to escape.
As if they had experienced some kind of horrific thing, the expressions of the seven people were a little dazed, with fear written on their faces. Some people's expressions were dull and confused.
Li Hao sighed secretly, and used the stone to break the iron rope and release them.
But the chains on their hands and feet were no longer there, and there seemed to be other chains tying them.
After being stunned for a moment, the seven people looked around blankly and remained where they were without making any move to escape.
Someone seemed to have thought of something, and started to tremble, huddled on the ground, hurriedly grabbed the broken chain, wrapped it around his hands and feet, and kept muttering and begging: "Don't eat me," Don’t eat me…”
Already scared out of my wits.
Li Hao was slightly silent. He was not used to comforting people, so he thought it would be better to give them some time to wake up. By the way, he would take advantage of this time to deal with all the external matters.
I saw him holding things at will, gathering all the corpses of these monsters together, building a high platform, and stacking them neatly in a square shape.
"Uncle Lin, my apprentice is incompetent, so I can only use these monsters to sacrifice your heroic soul!"
Li Hao turned his hand and took out a wine gourd from his back.
Then he unscrewed the mouth of the gourd and poured the wine in front of the corpse altar.
In front of him was a sea of corpses and blood, but what came to his mind was the courtyard with the brilliant sunset.
It's that night when men drink wine and sing murderous poems.
It was the afternoon when the man bowed his head sadly when he saw that he could not absorb the foundation-building potion.
It was also that autumn, when the fallen leaves fell on the chessboard, and the two of them laughed and cursed while playing chess.
Li Hao shook the wine gourd, and there was still a mouthful left in it. He raised his head and drank it, and said softly, "Uncle Lin, cheers."
Then, he put away the wine gourd, turned around, picked up the demon-slaying knife, and walked towards the woods outside.
There are tens of thousands of monsters in this mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles. There are tens of thousands gathered just around them.
Whoosh!
Li Hao's figure stood on the leaves of a treetop. His soul rushed out from the top of his head, controlling the demon-slaying knife, and shuttled into the green sea forest, sweeping in all directions.
Monsters of various races that were either prostrate, sleeping, looking for food, or playing were all cut off by a black light and their lives were cut off.
The black light shuttled between the mountains like a flying needle, piercing the bodies of monsters. These monsters sensed the danger and fled in panic, but the black light was faster.
If he were in the ordinary fifteen-mile realm, he might not be able to kill him so easily, but the range and speed of Li Hao's control were several times that of the ordinary fifteen-mile realm, and he had not used any special means.
Tens of thousands of monsters gathered at the foot of the mountain were horrified. They didn't know what was going on, so they just ran away instinctively. Others rushed to the top of the mountain to ask the king what happened, but their heads were beheaded before they even got up the mountain. .
The entire mountain peak was shaking violently, like an earthquake.
The scattered monsters were all beheaded and killed after they had only escaped more than ten miles away.
The blood stained the shrubs and the earth red, like a trickling river, flowing along the wrinkles of the earth to the low-lying areas, gathering into the blood and tears of this mountain range!
The soul returned to the body, and the black light also fell into the hand.
Li Hao took a look.
Killed tens of thousands of demons, the blade has been curled.
If it were not covered by the soul, this knife would have been broken long ago, and it would be difficult to penetrate the body of some monsters with thick bodies.
He didn't stop there. Instead, he held the curled black sword in his hand and swept toward the distance dozens of miles away. There were still some monsters there who failed to notice the situation here and were still wandering near their lair.
Now that we are here.
Then get rid of them all.
…
…
"Sure enough, there are monsters gathering!"
High in the sky of the Black Wind Mountains, a golden light flew extremely faintly through the clouds and mist. It was Song Yueyao's soul.
She herself was sneaking along the outside of the mountain range, her spirit soaring into the sky, inspecting the situation of the entire mountain range.
Along the way, she had seen many traces of monsters.
In this mountain range close to the city, monsters are only seen occasionally, and the monster energy is very thin. The little monsters that have just become spirits are nothing to be afraid of. Some hunters armed with arrows and crossbows may be able to scare the little monsters away.
But as we go deeper, we see a large area of dense demonic energy covering the mountain forest, and the number is increasing.
"Yue Chengshou was right, there are indeed monsters gathering here, and it's very obvious!"
Song Yueyao frowned: "But why, if the situation is confirmed, the Yue City Guards are not confident enough to report truthfully and ask the Xia family to help?"
She couldn't understand, wasn't Yue Cheng Shou afraid of these monsters attacking the city?
Or is it that the Xia family doesn't want to come because they have issues with each other?
But if Cangyu City is lost, the people will suffer heavy casualties, and both the Yuecheng Shou and the Xia family will be held accountable.
She couldn't figure it out and felt that the situation was a bit complicated.
At this moment, as she continued to go deeper, it didn't take long for her to reach the depths of the Black Wind Mountains.
The most she encountered along the way were monsters patrolling the mountain from the Soul Realm, but she easily dodged them without being exposed.
Suddenly, waves of fishy wind floated in the forest in front of them. Song Yueyao's face changed slightly, she stopped and used her soul to carefully explore forward.
Soon, she saw an incredible scene.
Rivers of blood flowed in the mountains and forests, and almost all water sources were stained red with blood. The corpses of monsters were lying nearby.
Song Yueyao was startled. She originally thought that the fishy wind was caused by the monsters arresting and killing human beings, but she didn't expect that it was actually the blood of the monsters themselves!
She looked surprised, what happened here?
After hesitating for a moment, she let the soul move forward cautiously. Soon, she came to the corpses of some monsters. After a quick inspection, she found that they were all fresh wounds and the time of death was no more than an hour.
Someone is slaying the demon!
This thought came to Song Yueyao's mind, and her heart was shaken. Could it be another governor of the Demon Suppression Department?
The Demon Suppression Department of Cangyu City has only one governor, Shenyu Bing, who together with the Yue City Shou guard this city near the border.
And she is an airborne soldier, temporary, and her position will not last long in Cangyu City.
In surprise, Song Yueyao asked Shenhun to explore the way ahead. If they could meet each other, they could help each other to see the situation here.
However, as he continued to go deeper, Song Yueyao's face became more and more shocked.
There are monster corpses along the way!
Everywhere!
They were so densely packed that she could see at least tens of thousands of them during her soul tour!
The number and density of monsters gathered here can definitely be called a small-scale monster tide, but the most shocking thing is that these monsters are all dead!
The one who can command so many monsters must be a big monster!
What about the big demon?
Song Yueyao had never fought against the governor, but she asked herself what she saw in front of her. It would be very difficult for her to do it, and she didn't have the courage.
As the soul moved forward, she saw more and more monster corpses, even more than before. Among them were some monsters with huge bodies. Some of their bodies had changed and showed signs of transformation. They were monsters approaching the realm of the Ascension. But without exception, they were all dead, and the wounds were surprisingly consistent, with sharp objects piercing their vital parts.
Soon, Song Yueyao came to a large mountain.
She could vaguely see that there was a strong cloud-like evil spirit brewing on the top of the mountain!
Such a terrifying demon mist is definitely a big demon, and judging from the color of the demon, there are more than one!
She was frightened and had the urge to turn around and retreat, but the monster corpses everywhere at the foot of the mountain and the eerie silence at the top of the mountain made an incredible thought come to her mind.
She endured her fear, let her spirit soar quietly, gathered her breath, and looked under the demonic clouds on the top of the mountain.
At this look, her expression was dull.
A meat platform composed of the corpses of more than twenty big demons stood on the top of the mountain, neatly stacked.
As the breeze blew by, one could still see the frozen eyes of some great demons, which contained the horror and fear before death.
Song Yueyao was stiff all over and was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
There were more big demons than she expected, but actually... they were all dead!
These are all great monsters in the Immortal Ascension Realm. Who can kill them all? !
That governor? Impossible, the other party is only in the Fugue Realm.
If you want to do this kind of thing, even the top Shenyou Realm Tianjiao will find it difficult, unless you are a strong man in the Fifteen Miles Realm!
Is he a general sent by the Xia family?
Or some sect master passing by?
Song Yueyao came back to her senses and suddenly noticed several figures slowly walking out of the cave on the top of the mountain. She took a closer look and saw that they were human beings. Judging from their embarrassed appearance, they seemed to be survivors.
She quickly set off and rushed up to the top of the mountain to reach the survivors.
"Were you all captured by monsters?" Song Yueyao asked immediately after seeing these survivors.
I thought that these survivors would feel safe when they saw her monster-suppressing uniform. Unexpectedly, when they saw Song Yueyao, their bodies trembled and they started to tremble, with fear in their eyes as if they had seen a monster.
"No, don't catch us!"
"Please, let us go!"
Several survivors collapsed and knelt down, kowtowed desperately and started crying.
Song Yueyao was shocked.
She couldn't react for a moment, and after a moment, she said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? I am the governor of the Demon Suppression, and I am here to rescue you."
"Spare your life, my lord, please spare your life!"
The survivors just kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Song Yueyao was speechless and wondered if they were all frightened out of their minds by monsters?
In this case, she probably couldn't ask anything. The master demon slaying queen was not here, and she probably saw that these survivors had already gone crazy.
However, these big monsters obviously died not long ago.
Thinking of this, Song Yueyao couldn't care less about the few survivors, and quickly activated her spirit to travel around.
Soon, she saw a bloody road with demon corpses along the way.
She hurriedly chased after him.
Not long after, Song Yueyao just jumped onto a treetop and stopped.
I saw a clearing in the forest ahead, filled with monster corpses. They were all ape monsters, and they seemed to be a group.
But now they were all killed.
Blood gathered on the ground, and in the center of these monster corpses stood a young man.
Wearing the most common demon-suppressing envoy costume of the Demon-Suppressing Department, he held a mutilated and tattered demon-slaying knife in his hand.
