Chapter 1657 Princess Shuyang (7)

In the seventeenth year of the first year of Wanjing, it was late winter.

The snow was flying heavily, and the surrounding area was covered with a layer of silvery white color, and the bright red liquid seeped into the ice surface.

The corpses of the demons were lying on the ground. There were still people fighting in the distance. The ground trembled slightly with the collision of spiritual power.

Until it gets dark, the sound of fighting gradually stops.

"Huhu..."

Mingshu held his knees and took a breath: "The demon has become more and more difficult to deal with this year. Brother Xinyu, are you okay?"

"Of course it's okay." Xin Yu's angry voice came.

Mingshu sat down and said, "I'm exhausted."

Xin Yu first directed everyone to clean up the battlefield, and then walked over: "Your strength seems to have improved recently."

"Brother Xinyu is not bad either." Mingshu praised with a smile, and finally became slightly serious: "Brother Xinyu, have you discovered anything about what I told you before?"

"Well, I have also observed it. Let's go back and discuss this matter with other adults later."

Mingshu nodded.

Xin Yu pulled her up: "Go back first."

The two returned to the place where they temporarily camped.

Demons have appeared more frequently recently, and they appear in groups, killing villages at every turn.

I heard that demons in Lanxi County have begun to attack the town.

Although demons have appeared in only two counties now, if this continues, there is no guarantee that demons will not appear in other counties and three continents.

The number of demons is no less than that of humans.

Or even more, because they are easier to conceive and grow very easily.

"The demon is getting more and more arrogant!"

"They are making a comeback. We still have to be prepared for a long war."

"I have already sent word to the Imperial City. The other counties and three continents will be careful."

At this time, everyone was sitting together to discuss, Mingshu and Xin Yu were also there.

"My lords." A young voice interrupted them.

"Princess." Everyone shouted and fell silent.

When the eldest princess first came, they were worried that she would be a drag.

But after a few battles, she quickly realized the difference between actual combat and practice, and she adapted to the battlefield faster than other sect disciples.

Therefore, they respected the eldest princess very much.

"My lords, do you think something is strange?" The immature little girl sat in front, with her hands folded in front of her, already possessing the majesty of a strong man.

"The demons have been attacking more frequently recently..." someone said.

"That's true, and they always appear in large numbers. They are different from the monsters in the past."

Although demons from many years ago would gather in groups, they only served one purpose and would disperse when the purpose was achieved.

But it's different now. They always appear and leave in groups, trying to ensure the strongest combat effectiveness.

Everyone was talking in a flurry of words, but Ming Shu didn't say anything, as if what he said was wrong.

"Your Highness, did you find anything?"

Mingshu said: "Have you not noticed that they massacred many villages, but their bodies still look thin?"

When fighting monsters at first, she could only think about how to kill them and improve her strength.

But recently, she noticed that something was not right.

Everyone thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it was really like that.

"But the power of demons is indeed getting stronger..." They didn't notice this, and it was precisely because of this.

"I can't figure it out either, I just find it strange." Mingshu said that he couldn't figure it out: "So let me discuss it with you adults."

There were whispers below.

But no one came to any conclusion.

If the demons didn't eat people to replenish their strength, how did they become stronger?

We couldn't discuss it, and finally decided to take a closer look the next time we fight.

In the next few days, there were several battles, but the demon was cunning and would always change places after just one shot.

They are in the light, and the demons are in the dark, so it is impossible to guard against them.

"Another village was massacred!"

"What?"

"It's not far from us."

"Damn it!"

Mingshu followed the large army to the village. It was still a desolate scene, but compared with a few years ago, Mingshu was able to face it calmly.

When she walked into the village, there were some severed limbs left on the ground, which seemed to be leftovers eaten by demons.

"Princess, there are no survivors."

There were no survivors in the massacred villages, and not even a complete body could be found.

Mingshu squatted on the ground, looked at the severed limbs on the ground, and said for a long time: "Did you see anything like internal organs?"

The person behind thought for a while: "No, just some severed limbs."

"If it was eating, why would only the severed limbs be left?" Mingshu asked.

"..."

Everyone recalled carefully that the village had been massacred before, and it seemed that there were only blood stains and severed limbs at the scene, and no internal organs were ever seen.

this……

Some people were surprised by what Mingshu said before the alliance: "Were the people in the village captured?"

Afraid that they would discover their true purpose, they left severed limbs to make them think that everyone was eaten.

Everyone was shocked by this idea.

Many people have chills down their backs.

If so, where were those people caught? What does the demon want to do?

Someone immediately contacted Lanxi County and got the same answer. In the villages where they were massacred, there were only severed limbs and no one had ever seen the internal organs.

The matter was immediately reported to the Imperial City.

The main people in charge were teleported back to the imperial city to meet with the king for discussion.

Mingshu also followed the people back to the imperial city. The situation was urgent. The king only said a few words to Mingshu and then began to discuss business matters.

"If the demon is trying to cover up something, then this matter must be very detrimental to us."

"If those people were really captured and not eaten by them, what were they used for?"

"This time the demons came in a weird way. Some of the demons they caught either committed suicide or gave some useless clues."

Everyone was having a heated discussion with each other.

All parties expressed their opinions.

At this moment, Lord Ling, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly looked at Mingshu, who was sitting next to the king: "Little princess, what's your opinion?"

I heard it was her who brought this up.

This eldest princess is really amazing.

Mingshu looked at the king, who touched her head: "If you have any ideas, just tell me."

Mingshu looked at Xin Yu again, and Xin Yu gave him an encouraging look.

Mingshu took a deep breath and said in a childish voice: "Although the monsters that attacked us are not as thin as the monsters that first appeared, in comparison, they are still very thin, which proves that they have not eaten."

"Why take humans away if they're not going to eat?"

"They took away humans, and they didn't want us to see that those humans..."

Minshu paused and suddenly changed the subject: "I heard that the demons in the past were different from the ones now. Although they fought in groups, they did not obey discipline, but now they are obviously organized."

Everyone whispered to each other and agreed with what Mingshu said.

Mingshu looked down and expressed his guess: "I think... they are feeding something."
