Chapter 506 Returning Home

An hour later, the two of them saw a bright light.

"Finally back, but where is this place?"

After Fang Yue and the fox girl passed through the portal, they were a little overwhelmed by the strange yet familiar scene in front of them.

The air here is fresh and pleasant, completely different from the atmosphere of the demon world full of restless power.

Surrounded by a dense forest, the trees are towering into the sky, and the sun shines through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of light.

The forest is filled with a faint mist, and there seems to be a faint vitality flowing in the mist.

The fox girl sniffed the air lightly, with a thoughtful look in her eyes: "The spiritual energy here is pure and gentle, and it is indeed different from the demon world. No wonder the demons have always wanted to come to the human world. "

In the demon clan territory, the vitality is violent.

Except for those core areas, the environment in most other areas is very bad.

It is difficult for ordinary demons to survive in them. Even high-level demons, if they live in those areas for a long time.

They will absorb more violent vitality, which will affect their minds. They will either become irrational and murderous, or they will turn into wild beasts that act only on instinct.

This is absolutely unacceptable for any demon clan.

Therefore, no matter which demon clan in the entire demon world, there is an irresistible impulse to invade the human world.

Fang Yue frowned slightly: "So that's it. The human world is a piece of fat meat in the eyes of the demon clan, and everyone wants to take a bite!"

The fox girl nodded gently: "That's right. But the human world is not so easy to invade. Those seal nodes are set up to resist the demon clan. But now it seems that the seal is not foolproof. "

The fox girl is kind by nature and hopes that the living environment of the demon tribe can be improved.

But she doesn't want to see the two tribes start fighting and blood flow like a river.

Fang Yue looked at the surrounding forest: "Let's not worry about these things for now, we have to figure out where we are here. "

They continued to move forward, and soon they heard the sound of gurgling water.

Walking in the direction of the sound, they found a clear stream.

In the stream, colorful fish were swimming happily, and the stones at the bottom of the stream were shining with a strange luster, as if they were gems polished by time.

Continuing to move forward from here, the two came to the official road in about a quarter of an hour.

At this time, a group of merchants came from a distance.

Fang Yue and the fox girl stood by the official road, watching the group of merchants approaching gradually.

The merchants were leading mules and horses loaded with goods. Some people in the team looked at Fang Yue and the fox girl vigilantly, and some people looked at their strange clothes and weapons curiously.

The leader of the caravan was a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life. He pulled the reins and shouted to Fang Yue and the others: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Fang Yue clasped his fists and saluted: "We are people on the road, we got lost, and we don’t know where we are? ”

The leader looked at them and his expression eased a little: "This is Qingping County. Where are you from? You don't look like locals."

The fox girl smiled and replied: "We came from afar, encountered an accident on the way, and came here by accident."

The leader nodded: "To the south of Qingping County is the prosperous Jincheng, and to the north is the border. If you want to find a place, you can go to Jincheng, where you can find everything."

Fang Yue thanked the leader, and after the caravan left, he said to the fox girl: "Qingping County? We have never heard of it, it seems we have to find out."

The fox girl looked at the direction where the caravan left: "Well, maybe we can find more information about this place in Jincheng, and figure out how the world we are in now is related to what we knew before. "

So, the two walked along the official road towards Jincheng.

Along the way, they saw many pedestrians coming and going, including farmers carrying loads, scholars riding horses, and children playing and fighting.

In the fields by the road, crops were growing well, and the scene was full of vitality.

After walking for a while, they came to a small town.

The town was bustling with all kinds of shops on the street, including blacksmith shops selling weapons, fragrant restaurants, and grocery stores filled with all kinds of rare things.

People shuttled through the streets, and the sounds of bargaining and laughter were intertwined.

Fang Yue and the fox girl walked into a restaurant and found an empty seat to sit down.

The waiter ran over enthusiastically: "Two guests, what do you want to eat? We have the signature braised pork, steamed fish, and various fine wines here. "

Fang Yue looked at the diners around him and said, "Bring a portion of braised pork, a portion of green vegetables, and a pot of wine. "

While waiting for the food, they heard people around them talking about some interesting stories and local rumors.

Fang Yue and the fox girl pricked up their ears and listened carefully to the conversations of the people around them.

Several big men at the next table were chatting enthusiastically. One of the big men with a beard slapped the table and said, "Have you heard? Recently, there seems to be strange movements in the mountains and forests near Qingping County. Some people said that they saw glowing figures. Could it be some monsters!"

Another thin man sneered, "How can there be so many monsters? Maybe someone is deliberately making a mystery. But the world is not peaceful recently. I heard that the border is not stable either. It seems that some forces are ready to move. "

At this time, a man who looked like a scholar interrupted and said, "Border affairs cannot be underestimated. If there is a war, the people will suffer. I just hope that the court can handle it properly and keep the peace. "

The fox girl frowned and whispered to the fox girl: "It sounds like Qingping County is not peaceful. I wonder if the border issue will affect our search for the way back."

Fang Yue nodded slightly: "Well, let's see the situation first."

At this time, the waiter brought the food up, and the rich aroma of meat and wine filled the air.

Fang Yue tasted the braised pork, which was soft and mellow in taste. He couldn't help but praise: "This tastes really good."

The fox girl also picked up a piece of green vegetables, chewed it gently and said: "This green vegetable is also very fresh."

They continued to pay attention to the conversations of the people around them while eating.

Then an old man said slowly: "The strange things in Qingping County are not only in the mountains and forests. I heard that some wealthy families always hear strange noises at night recently, like someone crying, but they go out to check and find nothing."

A young man next to him laughed and said: "Maybe those wealthy families did something wrong and got retribution."

Everyone laughed, but the old man shook his head: "Don't laugh, there are some things in this world that you should believe in. The northern magic star is shining, and the demons have returned!" The diners around him also quieted down after hearing what the old man said, with horrified expressions on their faces. Someone whispered, "Is there really going to be a war? What's going on?"

At this time, the young man said again, "Old man, please don't scare us. Where did you hear this news?"

The old man sighed, "I have an old friend near the border. He sent me a message. It is said that there are signs of demons appearing at the border, and the imperial army is stepping up its vigilance."

Fang Yue and the fox girl looked at each other and decided to find out more about the appearance of the demons after dinner. They knew that if the demons really broke through the seal and invaded on a large scale, the human world would be in great crisis.

The two hurriedly finished their meal and asked the waiter where they could get more information. The waiter thought for a while and said, "Two guests, if you want to know something, you can go to the escort agency in the east of the town to ask. The escorts there travel all over the country and are well-informed."

Fang Yue and the fox girl thanked the waiter and walked towards the east of the town. Along the way, they saw people with worried looks on their faces. Obviously, the news just now had spread in the town.

Arriving at the escort agency, the escorts inside were busy sorting goods and checking weapons. Fang Yue walked forward, clasped his fists and asked an old escort who looked experienced: "Senior, we have heard some news about the demon tribe, and we want to ask you about it."

The old escort looked at Fang Yue and the fox girl and said: "You heard about it too? This matter has been spreading widely recently. Our escort agency has also received a lot of news that the border is not peaceful and the demon tribe has made unusual movements. But we don't know the specific situation, we only know that the court has been strengthening border defenses."

The fox girl asked: "Then do you know how the demon tribe broke through the seal? Wasn't there a seal node before?"

The old escort shook his head: "We don't know about this, but the seal is a thing that has been around for a long time, and something might go wrong. Anyway, don't go to the north recently, it has been blocked by the court's army!"

After a while, after understanding the news clearly.

Fang Yue and the fox girl left.

After they left the escort agency, they walked on the streets of the town with a particularly heavy heart.

"It seems that the situation is more complicated than we thought. The demons should have broken the seal. We have to leave here immediately." Fang Yue frowned and said.

On the northern border of Wei, a demon camp was filled with a gloomy and restless atmosphere.

The camp was full of demons of various shapes and sizes. Some were huge and ferocious, while others were small but had cunning eyes.

In the center of the camp, a tall demon general with powerful demonic power was standing in front of the map in deep thought.

The black armor on his body exuded a strange luster, and the double horns on his head were as sharp as a blade.

A demon soldier knelt on one knee next to him and reported the situation:

"General, we have broken through some of the seals. Many brothers have entered the human world, but they have also encountered some resistance. The human court's army is organizing defense."

The general sneered: "Humph, human resistance is in vain.

However, we can't take it lightly. There is still some residual power in those seal nodes. Continue to send people to find ways to break them to ensure that the subsequent army can smoothly enter the human world."

"Yes!" The demon soldier took the order and left.

At this time, another demon general came over. He had unique patterns on his body and exuded a mysterious aura:

"General, we must fight quickly and decisively this time. I heard that many strong people from the human race are coming, and there seems to be some mysterious power in this world that is stopping us."

"Mysterious power? No matter what it is, it can't stop our demon race. We have endured too long in that harsh place. This time we must occupy the human world and let the demon race have a better place to live."

The eyes of the leading general flashed with a firm and fanatical light.

On the other side of the camp, some captured human soldiers were imprisoned in simple cages.

Their eyes were full of fear and anger, looking at the surrounding demons, their hearts were full of worries about their homes.

Their eyes were full of fear and anger, looking at the surrounding demons, their hearts were full of worries about their homes.

One of the soldiers tightly grasped the broken sword in his hand and said with gritted teeth:

"These hateful demons, if I have a chance, I will fight them to the death!"

The soldier next to him smiled bitterly and advised: "Don't be impulsive. We have to conserve our strength now and wait for rescue."

Outside the demon clan's camp, spies sent by the human court were carefully lurking, observing what was going on inside the camp.

They recorded what they saw one by one and prepared to go back and report to the court.

One of the spies whispered to his companion: "The situation is not good. The demon clan seems to be well prepared. We must send the news back as soon as possible."

As for Fang Yue and Fox Girl, they accelerated their departure from the town.

Fang Yue said to the fox girl: "The demon tribe is coming fiercely. I am worried about the safety of my parents at home, so I have to go back to resettle them first."

The fox girl nodded: "You go and come back quickly. I will continue to explore ways to fight against the demon clan. We will meet in Jincheng."

Fang Yue used his body skills and galloped towards his hometown.

The further south you go, the more stable the environment becomes.

Fang Yue was so anxious that the wind blew under his feet as he walked through mountains, forests and fields.

He saw that the further south he traveled, the fewer signs of the demon clan's influence. The villages were filled with smoke, children were laughing in the fields, and farmers were still working, as if the crisis in the north was just a distant nightmare.

However, Fang Yue knew in his heart that this peace was only temporary. If the demon clan cannot be stopped, the south will fall into war sooner or later.

He did not dare to slack off at all and worked day and night.

Finally, Fang Yue came to his hometown town.

The old locust trees at the entrance of the town are still lush and leafy, and pedestrians come and go on the familiar streets.

He went straight to his home. The door was closed. Fang Yue knocked on the door gently and shouted loudly: "Father, mother, I'm back!"

The door opened, and the familiar face of mother Chen appeared in front of her, her eyes full of surprise and worry:

"Zhe'er, why are you back? You kid, you've been out for so long, and you've made your mother so worried."

Fang Yue hugged his mother tightly, feeling the long-lost warmth, and his eyes turned slightly red:

"Mom, the child is unfilial and has made you worried. The Northern Demon Clan has broken through the seal and the situation is critical. I am worried about you and dad, so I came here to have a look."

Mrs. Chen took Fang Yue's hand, welcomed him into the house, and kept muttering:

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back. You must be exhausted from the journey. Are you hungry? Mom will get you something to eat."

Fang Yue looked at everything familiar in the room and felt filled with emotion, but he still said hurriedly:

"Mom, stop working now. The demon clan has begun to invade the human world. In a few months, this place will no longer be safe. We must leave as soon as possible and find a safe place to hide." (End of this chapter)
