Chapter 2217 Ruins
"It seems that the situation of the human race facing the attack of spirit beasts is quite severe," Ye Tian said in a deep voice.
"In fact, these independent mountain peaks that are completely surrounded by the human race are far from the biggest trouble." Qin Zhen said.
"The bigger trouble is... outside the scope of the Xianqin Dynasty?" Ye Tian guessed.
"Yes, to be precise, the entire border of ten thousand beasts is actually the world of spirit beasts. The human race just rose step by step. After a long time, they slowly opened up their own world in this cruel world. It has become the most powerful force and group in the border of ten thousand beasts."
"In today's border of all beasts, the Xianqin Dynasty occupies the best position. It is a huge whole, but outside of the Xianqin Dynasty, there is still a vast and vast land, where spirit beasts are still ruled."
"Even up to now, no one has been able to find out how big an area is beyond the scope of the Xianqin Dynasty, but the only thing that is certain is that this range is definitely much larger than the current territory of the Xianqin Dynasty !"
"And those ranges belong to spirit beasts. They are the paradise of spirit beasts. They are larger than the entire Xianqin Dynasty. That is enough to show how powerful the spirit beasts outside are."
"So around the periphery of the entire Xianqin Dynasty, boundary cities were also set up, all over the periphery of the entire Xianqin Dynasty. The number of these boundary cities is large, thousands of them are no exaggeration. Among them, the strength of the monks must also be It is much stronger than Danhua City, which only defends against spirit beasts in the domain."
"In order to distinguish, we call the spirit beasts located in several mountain ranges within the range of Xianqin Dynasty as intra-domain spirit beasts, and the spirit beasts in several mountain ranges outside the range of Xianqin Dynasty as extraterrestrial spirit beasts."
"Exotic spirit beasts are the real biggest trouble."
"However, there are strong and weak spirit beasts outside the territory. As far as we know so far, although there are many spirit beasts in the eastern sea and the southern boundless mountains, although there are many spirit beasts and their strength is very strong, they basically operate independently. , scattered and scattered, do not constitute the greatest threat."
"The biggest trouble is in the west and north." Qin Zhen said.
"Because there is a clan of dragons over there. Although no one has ever seen Zulong, who ranks first in the Hongmeng list, what is certain is that if it is really alive, it must be in the northwest."
"The dragon clan is the undisputed strongest of the spirit beast clan. Because of the existence of the dragon clan, countless spirit beasts can be commanded and twisted into a single rope in the infinitely vast lands in the west and north, posing a terrible threat."
"Under the command and leadership of the Dragon Clan, fierce battles broke out on the northwest border almost all the time."
"And the Xianqin Dynasty, which was not yet fully unified, is located in the northwest of the mainland. For thousands of years, the Xianqin Dynasty has been fighting these spirit beasts."
"It's true that the Xianqin Dynasty was not easy, it could even be said to be very difficult. There were several times when it was in great danger of perishing under the attack of spirit beasts, but fortunately, they all persevered."
"And after a long period of fighting, our Xianqin dynasty was actually a blessing in disguise. In terms of combat power, it was far behind the other six dynasties of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao and Wei, and finally was able to completely defeat them and completely defeat them. The scope of the human race is completely unified."
"Speaking of which, within the scope of the Xianqin Dynasty, it is called the Human Domain, while the northwest is called the Beast Domain because it is the largest, most powerful, and the power of spirit beasts is the most concentrated."
"Countless years ago, the monks of the human race had just opened up the living area and pushed it to the current boundary, but the spirit beasts outside are too strong, and this boundary is actually described as empty, and has no practical significance at all."
"Later, I once told you that the senior who created the Wan Ling Jue, in order to leave a large enough living space for the human race, completely burned himself, and tore apart the space on the long border between the west and the north. A wall full of spatial turbulence has been formed, and even a top-notch cultivator must pay a considerable price to pass through that wall."
"It is the existence of this wall that defines the boundary of the human race's existence. It's just that the power of the spirit beast is too strong. In many cases, it will forcefully attack through the wall. Later, with the resistance of the boundary city, It is considered to block the spirit beast behind."
"For thousands of years, under the unremitting efforts of spirit beasts, a gap was still torn open on the wall. At that time, the Xianqin Dynasty had just completed the unification of the entire Human Domain, and the Xianqin Dynasty had mobilized huge forces , was able to barely block the spirit beast rushing out of that gap."
"We don't have the ability to repair this gap, so we can only forcibly resist it. Therefore, we built the largest boundary city in history called Liangjie Mountain. As the name suggests, it is a place that connects the two worlds of the human realm and the beast realm. .”
"In this way, the two-level mountain has become the front line of the confrontation between the human race and the spirit race. After so many years, I don't know what the status quo is, but Mu Shu must not be able to repair the gap, and we haven't heard of the two realms until now. If something goes wrong with the mountain, it should still exist." Qin Zhen said.
"Perhaps we can visit Liangjie Mountain in the future," Ye Tian said in a deep voice.
"There will be a chance. After all, it is the biggest battle between the human race and the orc race. Compared with the spirit beast attack that Liangjie Mountain faced, the biggest impact that Danhua City faced that day was nothing more than a child's passing. Compared with Liangjie Mountain, every other ordinary Jiecheng is equivalent to a small village." Qin Zhen said.
At this moment, Ye Tian saw traces of the battle below.
To be precise, it is the trace of massacre.
It was a town inhabited by humans, located on the edge of a river. At this time, the town was completely in ruins, and the flames were burning on the collapsed buildings. With Ye Tian's eyesight, he could clearly see the human beings in the ruins. Broken corpses are everywhere.
Blood flowed into the river, almost dyeing the river red.
The smoke billowed and shot straight into the sky.
Ye Tian patted the blue skylark under him lightly, and asked him to lower his height to observe carefully.
Obviously, it was a large group of spirit beasts that destroyed the town and caused the massacre.
The entire town has been massacred, and there is no one alive.
All the men, women, old people and children were killed by the spirit beasts, and many of the corpses were mutilated, obviously died under the bite of the spirit beasts.
This is a very tragic scene.
And from the burning fire, the billowing smoke, and the blood-stained river, it can be seen that this killing has not been long, probably just a few days ago.
Judging from the traces, these spirit beasts did not continue to move forward after destroying the entire town, but returned the same way.
Ye Tian looked at the surrounding terrain and the trajectory of his flight after leaving Danhua City, and immediately determined the location here.
In this way, Ye Tian understood.
This place seems to be behind the area protected by Danhua City, but it is adjacent to the area next to it, which is the area protected by Linjia City.
As for Linjia City, three years ago, it was breached by spirit beasts and completely disappeared. The vast land behind it lost its only barrier and barrier, and spirit beasts could drive straight in. It is difficult to protect the capital, and there is no time to take care of it.
Therefore, the spirit beast that destroyed this town just a few days ago should have entered the human race area from the direction of Linjia City, and after causing the slaughter, it returned the same way and fled back.
Looking at the dead town below, Ye Tian was silent for a moment, then patted Qing Yunque lightly.
Qingyunque immediately changed direction, fluttered its wings lightly, and the gust of wind swirled around the huge wings, chasing after the spirit beasts in the direction they left.
The killing here took place a few days ago, if you catch up at full speed, you should be able to catch up.
Since Ye Tian encountered a tragic situation, if the situation is right, Ye Tian wants to try to get rid of these spirit beasts that wantonly slaughtered in the human race area.
And seeing the situation here, Ye Tian couldn't help but have a bad guess in his heart.
These spirit beasts have already rushed to the back of the area protected by Danhua City, which probably means that in the large area behind Linjia City, there may have been accidents, and if it was serious, it might have been a disaster. It has become a paradise where spirit beasts are rampant.
So on the one hand, he was chasing the spirit beast that just caused the killing in this town, and on the other hand, Ye Tian also wanted to go to the protected area behind Linjia City.
The Blue Skylark quickly flitted across the sky, and followed the footprints left by the group of spirit beasts, chasing forward.
What made Ye Tian feel bad was that after half a day, he caught up with the group of spirit beasts.
This group of spirit beasts seemed extremely at ease, they didn't rush at full speed at all, but rampaged everywhere, so they were able to catch up in such a short time.
Ye Tian knew that this situation meant that the bad possibility he guessed just now should have become a reality, and the large area of human race behind Linjia City had become a paradise where spirit beasts raged.
The group of spirit beasts chased by Ye Tian has about ten heads.
The leader is a wolf clan spirit beast that has reached the size of a hundred feet, and its strength is about the same as that of a middle-level spirit beast of a cultivator.
Now through the experience in Danhua City, Ye Tian already knows that when the strength reaches the monk who is equivalent to the true immortal stage, he is a real high-level spirit beast, and the strength of high-level spirit beasts is basically in the category of true immortals and heavenly immortals .
Below the true immortals, the spirit beasts at the level of Void Returning and Asking Stage monks are intermediate-level spirit beasts.
And the spirit beasts weaker than the Void Returning stage monks are low-level spirit beasts, and they are usually directly called spirit beasts by people.
This wolf spirit beast, which is equivalent to the strength of a monk who asked about it, is a mid-level spirit beast.
And a spirit beast of this strength, after breaking through the defense of Jiecheng, is indeed enough to run rampant on the human land behind.
After discovering these spirit beasts, Ye Tian raised his hand, and a wind blade condensed out, spinning and flying towards the wolf spirit beast.
The strength gap between the two sides is too great. Although the wolf spirit beast felt the danger coming, it just barely turned around. The wind blade had already arrived, and it was directly split in half, and its huge body fell to the ground. on the ground.
The smell of blood spread, and now the other spirit beasts also noticed it. After finding that the leader was beheaded without any reaction, they immediately realized that Ye Tian was definitely not something they could resist, and ran away in all directions.
If it is stronger, or if there are more numbers, it will waste a little bit of strength, but the remaining spirit beasts are too weak compared to Ye Tian.
In front of Ye Tian, even if they wanted to escape, they didn't have the slightest chance.
The wind blade that split the wolf spirit beasts in half flew up and down like a fast and agile swift, chasing and beheading the ten or so spirit beasts one by one in a blink of an eye.
With the strength of these spirit beasts, it is impossible for Ye Tian to have anything on them that is worthy of Ye Tian's interest, so after killing them all, Ye Tian controlled Qing Yunque and continued to fly forward.
About half an hour later, Ye Tian saw a city.
This is an ordinary human city, the scale is not small, but it has been completely turned into ruins. In the city, human bones are everywhere, and in the streets and alleys, you can still see low-level spirit beasts flashing past from time to time. I rummaged for a bone to chew on.
It has been a long time since this city was completely destroyed, Ye Tian deduced that it was basically about two years.
After killing the spirit beast he saw, Ye Tian continued to move forward.
...
...
two days later.
The speed of Qingyunque's flight is not slow. In two days, Ye Tian basically made a full circle around the vast land behind Linjia City.
Ye Tian was a little chilled by what he saw.
As guessed, it has basically been completely ravaged by spirit beasts. Almost all the cities, towns and even villages seen have been turned into ruins, and all the people have been slaughtered.
This is what happened after the boundary city ahead, Linjia City, was destroyed.
And now Ye Tian knows from Sun Wendong that in the past hundred years, since the spirit beasts began to rush out of the Taiping Mountains to attack the boundary cities, many boundary cities like Linjia City have been destroyed.
In other words, there are still many human lands that have encountered the same situation.
Looking at the ruined cities, even Ye Tian felt a little heavy in his heart.
But apart from watching, Ye Tian was not idle along the way.
He also met a lot of spirit beasts, and all the spirit beasts he encountered were killed by Ye Tian without hesitation. As long as he encountered them, none of them escaped from Ye Tian's hands.
In the past two days, there have been tens of hundreds of mid-level spirit beasts killed by Ye Tian, more than ten high-level spirit beasts, and countless low-level spirit beasts.
Although Ye Tian walked too hastily and only killed the spirit beasts he encountered, it can basically be said that after these two days, Ye Tian almost wiped out all the monsters raging in the human area behind Linjia City. over again.
Two days later, Ye Tian made a full circle before leaving here. Following the guidance of the map, he took the Qingyunque and flew towards the city of Dongmen Mansion.
This time, a day was spent on the road.
A day later, Ye Tian, who was on Qing Yunque's back, saw from a distance a city that was bigger than all the cities he had seen before, like a huge black monster, quietly crawling on the field.
This city has a city wall that is taller than Danhua City. As for the area, it is ten times or a hundred times larger. Besides the city wall, there are a large number of buildings that spread out radially around the city wall.
On the map, the name of the city was clearly stated, Dongmenfu City.
A huge formation was shrouded in the sky above the city. Ye Tian controlled Qingyunque to lower its height and land outside the city.
About the basic situation of Dongmen Fucheng, Ye Tian had already asked people in Danhua City before, and he already had some basic understanding, so he would not be completely unfamiliar.
This kind of large city is usually covered by formations in the sky. Unless someone in the city opens the formations to respond, they can only land outside the city and enter the city through the city gate.
As for flying spirit beasts like Qingyunque, there are usually shops outside the city that are responsible for taking care of them, just like inns for spirit beasts. Ye Tian randomly found a place, settled Qingyunque, and paid some top-quality spirit beasts Stone as half the cost.
The other half can be paid when the blue skylark is taken away.
At the same time, Ye Tian bought some top-quality spirit stones and rented a carriage so that he could ride in it.
In Fucheng, ordinary people are also restricted from flying, and the interior is huge, so it would be more convenient to have a carriage.
The lowest value thing that Ye Tian can take out is the top grade spirit stone, which is actually a very precious thing.
Therefore, the carriage given to Ye Tian by this store is quite good. The carts are pulled by two Liuyun horses, which are said to be equivalent to monks who form alchemy. They are all white, tall and tall, with a single horn on their heads. .
This Liuyun horse is psychic, and it can move freely according to the master's will without the need for the driver to control it.
The carriage is also extremely gorgeous, and the interior space is very spacious.
Ye Tian didn't really care much about these things. After getting into the carriage, he didn't look carefully, so he let Liu Yunju pull the carriage and take him into the city.
The carriage drove through the city, and stopped after about half an hour.
Ye Tian pushed aside the curtains and looked outside.
Even in the Dongmen Mansion City, the avenue where it is at this time is quite spacious, at least it can accommodate more than ten carriages driving side by side.
At this moment, Ye Tian's carriage was parked by the side of the road.
On the opposite side of the road, there is a mansion with a tall lintel, with a huge Zheng character written on it.
The Zheng family is the most powerful force in the East Gate Mansion. Its current patriarch, Zheng Yuanjiu, is also the owner of the East Gate Mansion, and has the cultivation base of the middle Xuanxian period.
Zheng Qipeng, the lord of Danhua City, is also related to Zheng Yuanjiu.
The Zheng family is the main purpose of Ye Tian's visit to Dongmen Mansion this time.
One is to find the real reason for the negative response from the East Gate Mansion in the face of the spirit beast attack.
The other one is to see if the brains of the three-eyed foxes owned by the Zheng family are still there.
Of these two things, the second must be slightly more important.
