The guard's face turned serious and he urged, "The demons are attacking the city. Let's hurry up."

Shang Hongxiu asked in confusion: "The demons are attacking the city, what's going on?"

The guards were even more puzzled by Shang Hongxiu's question, "You still don't know?"

Seeing Shang Hongxiu's confused face, the personal soldier vigorously waved the whip in his hand and explained to Shang Hongxiu loudly: "Every time the demon tribe passes through a city, there will be earth dragons to help. Even the highest city walls cannot resist them."

Bai Qingge looked at the earth-colored dragon head standing high on the city wall in the distance. The roar that was so loud that it almost shattered the earth and made her scratch her ears.

Bai Qingge sighed lightly. What she had guessed came true, and earlier than expected.

Because of her passive innate ability, many people who she had never seen before gained extraordinary power, and all of this originated from her thoughts.

The more people believe, the more powerful what manifests.

But because of the world's self-protection mechanism, it ensures that nothing beyond understanding will appear in this world.

In addition, without her help, people's thoughts generally would not be focused, that is to say, it would not happen that someone is an ordinary person today and becomes an immortal tomorrow.

But there are always exceptions. People's thoughts will not be concentrated on a certain person, but will appear on certain concepts.

For example, children cannot get close to deep water because there may be water ghosts in the water that may take the children away.

The original intention of this is that adults tell lies to prevent children from falling into the water due to playing. When children grow up, they will realize that it is just a white lie.

But the fear we have as children is real, and we may not be able to completely get rid of it even when we grow up.

Even modern people living in the scientific age can be scared to tears by ghost stories, and there are many people who are afraid to go to the toilet alone.

It has nothing to do with whether it exists or not, it is people's fear of the unknown.

Human fear is most likely to take over and become uncontrollable.

It was this fear that created this earth dragon.

At first it was just a coincidence, because the orcs happened to encounter an earthquake during their siege, and the fact that the ground trembled three times for every step the bear people took intensified the fear, and all kinds of rumors and even real evidence spread.

There is a demon dragon in the demon tribe helping them, which is one of the reasons why the beast tribe can almost reach the imperial city in such a short time.

Bai Qingge withdrew his gaze. This earth dragon was probably just the beginning. If there was a meat grinder more terrifying than war, it must be a natural disaster.

Fear spreads.

Bai Qingge looked at Shang Hongxiu, whose pupils were trembling because of the situation behind her. She didn't know whether this seed could germinate or not. In short, she had given this world a chance.

The world always has to have some hope, but whether it can be grasped is none of her business.

Looking at the huge figure behind her, Shang Hongxiu's breathing almost stopped. Is that really a creature that is beyond human control?

The heart was filled with fear, 'Run, run!'

Shang Hongxiu gripped the reins tightly with both hands. The silver lining in the misfortune was that the earth dragon didn't seem to have any intention of coming over. But facing such a huge creature, could she really escape?

Only when they were far away from the city and could no longer see the huge figure did Shang Hongxiu's violently beating heart calm down a little.

As if wanting to relax the atmosphere, the guard started talking, with a tremor in his voice that had not yet dissipated.

"It seems that the city lord was right about the girl. I was almost scared to death just now, but the girl is still calm. I admire her."

Shang Hongxiu's face was filled with shame. She didn't look calm at all. She was simply frightened.

Shang Hongxiu took a deep breath and asked, "Sir, is this the city lord?"

The personal soldier shook his head with a heavy look on his face. "The Lord of the City risked his life for justice and fought alone to protect the safety of the people. How painful! How regrettable!"

Logically speaking, she shouldn't complain at this time. After all, people are dead. But where would the so-called fighting alone put those soldiers and conscripted men?

It is true that he used the people of this city to build up his reputation.

What people in the underworld care most about is reputation, including her father. She naturally inherited it and always cherishes her reputation.

This is one of the main reasons why people wear masks in Pingtian Sect.

No matter how corrupt this dynasty is, it still represents orthodoxy.

The two of them hurried and finally caught up, but when they saw the situation at the scene, they almost vomited blood.

The guard stepped forward and asked angrily, "It's been so long, why have you only walked such a short distance?"

The soldier saw the man coming and said, "Master Park, these people insisted on taking their belongings with them and refused to leave them behind. In addition, they picked up some belongings from those ahead along the way, so they walked slower."

The guards were so angry that they whipped the soldier, causing him to howl in pain, "MD, the city lord is buying time for us with his life, and this is how you do things?

"Besides, the money has already been distributed. How much can this junk be worth? Why do you insist on taking it with you? Let them throw it away, or else hand over the money."

The guards knew how to control the lives of these common people, but the soldier next to them showed a look of difficulty on his painful face.

"Still standing there like a log, do you still want to be whipped?"

The sound of the whip breaking through the air frightened the soldier so much that he hid back, sweating and trembling, he said tremblingly: "Master Park, the silver... has not been distributed."

The guard was so angry that he was about to whip him again, but suddenly he remembered something and his face changed drastically.

"Where is the silver?" asked the guard.

"Mr. Zhang and Mr. Li took the money away first, saying it was too heavy to handle, and they said they would distribute it to everyone when they got to the place."

The guard's face was flushed. He knew what these people were planning. They said the money was too heavy and took it away, but it was obvious that they took the money and ran away.

The guards angrily cursed, "What a bunch of ungrateful wolves! The city lord has always been very kind to them, yet they did something so shameless."

But now is not the time to curse, he has to fulfill the city lord's last wish.

"Hurry up and gather people, tell them to throw away all these things. If they don't, beat them hard." He didn't believe that family property was more important than life.

The soldier almost cried out, "We beat them, and even killed a few of them, but they just wouldn't let go, saying that dying of starvation is the same as dying by being eaten by monsters, it's all the same anyway."

After a few years of good life, he almost forgot what it felt like to be hungry. If someone had asked him to throw away his belongings in the past, he would have fought with them to the death.

As the saying goes, you're going to die anyway, so why suffer so much before dying?
