Chapter 203 Foreign Enemies
"Run!"
"Run!"
Outside the fog, a group of mountain hunters, with their wives, children and parents, desperately fled in the mountains.
Above their heads, several large bird-like fog beasts were circling, like cats playing with mice, driving away the prey below.
In fact, they are not very interested in the blood and essence of ordinary people that have not been tempered.
Sometimes these fog beasts hunt ordinary humans just to enjoy the pleasure of hunting and ravaging, and enjoy the pain they give to their prey, that's all.
One of the fog beasts seemed to have had enough fun, and suddenly swooped down, grabbed a little girl of eleven or twelve years old with its claws, and flew back into the air.
"Dad! Mom!" The girl screamed and cried.
The fog beast's series of actions were so fast that no one could react.
"Ying'er!" The hunter on the side was shocked and raised his bow to shoot arrows.
It's a pity that the arrows he shot were not painful to these fog beasts, and they couldn't save the little girl at all.
Seeing that the girl would either fall to death or be torn apart by the fog beast in mid-air.
The parents were heartbroken.
At this moment, a red blade passed through the air, accurately hitting the fog beast and cutting it in half.
The little girl fell from the air.
Suddenly, there was a crackling sound, and a faint arc of lightning pierced the sky.
The figure flew into the air, caught the little girl, and landed steadily.
The one who made the move was Song Changming, who had just walked out of the fog. Seeing the evil fog beast, he would naturally not sit idly by.
The claws of the fog beast left two almost piercing wounds on the little girl's body, but no matter what, her life was saved.
The remaining fog beasts were not brainless. They realized that Song Changming was powerful, so they wanted to flap their wings and retreat.
Song Changming held the girl in one hand and slashed another knife towards the sky with the other hand.
Ouch!
This time, the majestic sword energy turned into three white dragons that soared into the sky, easily annihilating the remaining fog beasts.
"Ying'er!"
"Thank you, benefactor! Thank you for your help!"
"."
Seeing that the crisis was resolved, the hunters knelt down and kowtowed to Song Changming.
They all knew that if Song Changming had not appeared today, they would most likely have died in the mouths of these fog beasts.
It was a life-saving grace, so no matter how grateful they were, it would not be excessive.
"No need to do this, go to the city to take refuge quickly, it is not safe here anymore." Song Changming put the girl down and said.
If Song Changming encountered such small acts of kindness on weekdays, he would basically do it, and he didn't even need to think about it.
In his opinion, it was just a trivial episode, and he might forget about it as soon as he turned his head.
But for the rescued people, this was a great favor, enough to change the fate of a person or even a family.
The girl's parents kowtowed repeatedly until Song Changming walked away, then they stood up and took the child to the city to treat the wound.
On the way back to Wangyue County, Song Changming could see that the people in the villages and towns became worried, and some were even in a state of panic.
The news of the coming of the fog from outside the region had already spread, and the people in the villages and towns close to the border were the most panicked.
If the fog really spread to their villages and towns, they could indeed run away and take refuge, but the crops and fruits they planted, and the buildings and houses they built, if they were unlucky, would all be destroyed, and their efforts would be in vain.
Therefore, many villagers and townspeople were already praying to God to save their lives, and they must not let them suffer too much loss.
After returning to Wangyue County, Song Changming found that the atmosphere in the county city was obviously much more relaxed.
Although the fog from outside the region was a great disaster, it had never spread to the Wangyue County area in previous years.
Therefore, compared with the threat of the fog itself, the people in the county town are more worried about the food and other supplies in the city.
Liu Dingsheng lay on a bench in the yard, looking at the birds on the branches and eaves in a trance.
The birds flew back and forth, changing one after another, but he was indifferent.
It was not until Song Changming came back that he became more energetic and greeted him with a smile.
"Changming, you're back."
"Senior." Song Changming responded.
Another two years have passed. Even if Liu Dingsheng did a good job in keeping healthy in his later years in Wangyue County, it is impossible for him to be reborn.
Time will eventually carve traces on him one after another, and the final deadline will eventually come.
Now, Liu Dingsheng's qi and blood have been declining, and he looks gloomy.
Even if precious life-extending medicine is found for Liu Dingsheng, the medicine can no longer replenish it.
It's like a broken barrel, no matter how much water is poured, it will leak out.
Although he was reluctant to accept it, Song Changming estimated that Liu Dingsheng's death would come in the next three or two years.
Liu Dingsheng was definitely a long-lived person, especially after being in the martial arts world for most of his life, he was able to get out of it unscathed and without any underlying illness, which was quite rare in the martial arts world.
Most martial artists fought and killed, and were tainted with grudges and hatred in the martial arts world, so their final destination was destined to be difficult to end well.
Liu Dingsheng was able to spend his later years in peace. In addition to Liu Ziwen bringing people to escort him, Song Changming did not allow anyone to disturb Liu Dingsheng's life.
Even if a powerful enemy came to his door, Song Changming would take action to send him away.
He did not care who was right or wrong in the past, and he had never been a righteous judge who had to make a fair judgment.
He only wanted Liu Dingsheng to leave peacefully in his later years, and nothing else mattered.
"How is it? The fog outside the domain?" Liu Dingsheng asked.
"It's already close to Xianyue City. I don't know if it will swallow up this county this time." Song Changming shook his head.
If Xianyue City is eroded and swallowed by the fog this time, the third county of Wangyue County will be wiped out of the county's territory.
"Maybe it's a matter of time." Liu Dingsheng murmured.
"Wangyue County has more and richer natural spiritual energy than other states and counties, but it is also too close to the land outside the domain. It's so close that it seems to be completely swallowed up by the fog outside the domain at any time.
Perhaps in a few years, Wangyue County of the Dahan Dynasty will no longer exist."
Song Changming listened silently.
He was quite comfortable here, with beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery.
If everything is really swallowed up by the fog, it would be a pity.
Unfortunately, no one can think of a way to stop the spread of the fog outside the domain, and everything can only be left to fate.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Come on, let's play chess, Changming." Liu Dingsheng suddenly smiled.
"Okay"
At the same time, in the fog.
Another black giant shadow came from far to near, from blurry to clear, and slowly appeared.
This was actually a giant python with horns on its head. Its huge body made it look like a long ship, slowly swimming in the mountains with its upper body raised.
A thick layer of black scales rubbed against the ground, easily crushed the stones, plowed the soil, and left a long crawling trace.
The giant python's pupils were foggy, and burning mist energy dissipated from its mouth and nose.
There is no doubt that this is also an extraordinary fog beast.
And on the top of this fog beast, a figure wrapped in a black robe was sitting quietly.
Behind him was a white bone knife, the blade of the bone knife was wide and sharp, almost one person tall, and it was unknown what kind of strange beast material it was made of.
Suddenly, under the black robe, a pair of cold eyes opened, staring at a big pit below.
In the big pit was the griffin fog beast that Song Changming had killed, and now most of its body was buried.
"Someone could actually kill this beast, could it be a Tianbang warrior from the Dahan Dynasty."
"Well, it couldn't be better to use a Tianbang warrior to sacrifice the knife."
The giant python under him leaned down and swallowed the fog beast corpse in two or three bites.
The deformed flesh and blood of the fog beast, for a warrior, is far more harmful than beneficial.
It's like a tonic mixed with highly toxic substances. If you eat too much, even a warrior at the extreme level will be worried about his life.
Therefore, even Song Changming, who regards high-quality flesh and blood as a treasure, stays away from the flesh and blood of the fog beast.
He will not easily try the flesh and blood of the fog beast unless he has no choice.
After eating, the giant python continued to move forward slowly with satisfaction and disappeared in the fog.
In the evening, Liu Dingsheng finished his meal early and went to rest in the house.
Now he is not as energetic as before, and he goes to bed much earlier.
In the past, he would play chess in the yard under the starlight, but now he rarely stays up late.
Song Changming was practicing sword techniques in his side yard.
The surface of the dragon-patterned sword in his hand seemed to be coated with a layer of flame, and it was very hot.
As he swung and chopped, heat waves rolled, and the fire-attributed sword energy was contained but not released, constantly accumulating the power of the sword.
The power of the sword increased layer by layer, and when it reached the peak, Song Changming felt that he had a nuclear warhead in his hand.
As long as he had a thought, it could be detonated at any time, causing terrible destructive power and destroying the Liu residence.
