Landscape of Mountains and Rivers of Salted Fish

After that, the whole empire was affected, and everyone went crazy. As King II sent more and more people into the abyss, the ruby ​​grew bigger and bigger. Finally, one day, a soldier brought back the last gem, and it was complete. The precious stones floated in the air, emitting a dazzling red light, and then the nightmare began.

The second generation who was bewitched by the gems suddenly became sober at this time, and he suddenly realized what he had done, and he also clearly knew that the reason why he woke up was because he was no longer needed.

With the red light of the gemstone, there was a loud noise in the abyss, and after a while of calm, groups of monsters began to crawl out of the abyss. These monsters were very strange, and the smallest was two or three people tall. There were many of them. , and very strong, they quickly took control of the entire country after they came out, the second king was killed, and this place has become the territory of monsters since then.

The people here are powerless to resist, the monsters have a strong learning ability, and they quickly mastered the human language, which allows them to enslave humans more easily.

These monsters ordered humans to raise the outer walls of the country, leveled all the original cities, and began to build their own cities. The buildings in these cities are so bizarre that people who are not determined may go crazy just by seeing them.

They built the four largest cities, built a tower in the middle of the four cities, put the jewel on the tower, and they bowed down to the jewel every day, just like bowing down to their gods.

They continued to send people to the abyss, and these people never returned without exception. No one knew what was in the abyss, and no one wanted to know. At that time, under the rule of those monsters, the people on this land The only goal is to survive.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance. Finally, someone among human beings stood up. He quietly formed a team and planned a sneak attack. The result, of course, was a failure. These monsters in the abyss are too strong. For them, ordinary people No stronger than a newborn baby.

The monsters were very angry about this rebellion of humans. They didn't want these rebels to die easily. They used an ancient curse to integrate the pieces of meat cut from themselves into human bodies to create a new monster. They have a human-like but completely different appearance, a body that is several times larger than humans, and possess great strength and absolute loyalty to monsters. These former warriors have become tools for monsters to enslave humans.

Until one day, a monk accidentally came to this isolated place. The monsters could not stay away from the abyss. They only saw mortals, and they did not expect that there are people in this world who can easily cross the huge wall.

The monk saw the purgatory here, he saw the monsters coming and going in the abyss, he saw the human beings assimilated by the monsters, he saw the humanoids being enslaved by the monsters, and then he left before the monsters found out.

The cultivator sent back what he saw to the comprehension world, and the comprehension world was shocked, and countless monks gathered together.

Many of them did not believe what the monk said until they saw it with their own eyes.

The abyss has actually existed for a long time, so long that many people think that it appeared together with the heaven and the earth. No one knows what is in the abyss, but everyone seems to subconsciously want to stay away from it.

It's just that people are moving away from the abyss, but the abyss is approaching people. No matter what these monsters are or where they come from, the cultivation world cannot let them go. The monks rarely get together and they decide to fight. Basically, all monks think that This is a one-sided battle. They will easily drive the monster back to the abyss, but they don't know what kind of fierce battle they are about to face.

When the mighty monks came here, those monsters knew for the first time that there are so many strong people among human beings, and so many better tools. Yes, these people are just new tools in the eyes of monsters. Fighting, of course, is another victory for the monster.

At first, these monsters couldn't fly, but they had rough skin and thick flesh, so they couldn't hit monks and it was difficult to damage them.

After a few days of fighting, the monsters did begin to reduce their numbers, but soon the monks discovered that when a monster died, new monsters would emerge from the abyss, and the new monsters could fly.

When more and more new monsters joined the battlefield, the balance of victory began to tilt towards the monsters. In the end, the monks could only flee in panic. Many monks were captured by monsters and escorted to the abyss. These monks who entered the abyss were the same as those before. , no one can come out again.

The monks who escaped found that these monsters could not be too far away from the abyss. After discovering this, the world of self-cultivation, which suffered heavy losses, quickly divided into two factions. One faction advocated to continue the attack. But it is definitely not a good thing. If these monsters are allowed to achieve their goals, it will definitely harm everyone.

Another faction believes that since those monsters can't be too far away from the abyss, as long as they don't get close to it, no one will approach the abyss in the first place, and only mortals will recklessly build a country near the abyss. Now it is equivalent to expanding the scope of the abyss Now, as long as you don't get close there, everything is still the same as before.

Among these two factions, the second faction is in the majority. Everyone has seen the fighting power of monsters. They are not opponents at all, and many people have died in previous battles, and most of them don't want to get involved again.

After that battle, this land was still under the rule of monsters, and the place outside here was still living a normal life. Only a small number of monks wandered around the periphery of this land, hoping to find a way to defeat the monsters.

At first, these people were not very anxious. After all, there was no way to speed up the process if they were anxious, until they discovered that the monster's range of activities was expanding, and it was getting faster and faster.

They informed the comprehension world of this news, most of them didn't believe it, they only thought that they wanted to provoke a war between monks and monsters, only a few people were willing to come here to see for themselves.

After seeing it, I knew it was true. These monks temporarily formed a team. They first sent people to investigate near the abyss. After many failures, someone finally brought back the news alive. Something in the abyss woke up. This The man said he heard a roar from the abyss.

At this time, everyone knows that they can't wait any longer, and these monsters must be stopped as soon as possible, but they rushed directly to seek death. In order to fight these monsters, these repair soldiers divided into two groups, one part went to lobby those big sects and families, hoping that they could Joining the battle, the other part continues to study the weaknesses of monsters.

The lobbying failed in the end, and everyone thought they were crazy.And those who studied the monster's weakness had some clues. There must be something wrong with the gem that the monsters regard as a god. If there is a way to destroy it, it will definitely be able to severely damage the monster.

But how to get close to that gem was a big problem. The monsters kept that gem very tightly. They organized several raids but failed, and lost a lot of elites because of it.

At this time, a monk who can be regarded as an outlier among them stood up. He said that he had made a new discovery. He had studied the curse that those monsters turned people into monsters. It's a bit uglier, and other abilities have grown in all directions. Now he has successfully managed to keep people conscious after being cursed, which can greatly improve their fighting ability.

No one will agree to such a proposal at any time, but now they have nowhere to go. This group of monks first selected a few people to conduct experiments. The results of the experiments exceeded their expectations. After turning into humanoid monsters, , these cultivators not only directly jumped a few grades in strength, but also greatly improved their physical strength, and their consciousness was completely preserved.

Now that the test was successful, the rest of the monks did not hesitate and chose to accept the curse. Before going out, in order to prevent themselves from losing consciousness in the future and endangering other people, they made an oath that they would only kill monsters and never hurt any monks and mortals.

This battle is still fierce. In terms of strength, the monks have the upper hand, but there are endless monsters, but the goal of the monks is also very clear, which is the gem. Finally, they successfully broke through the blockade, got the gem, and then Several monks worked together to smash the gemstones, and the broken gemstones wanted to fuse. In order to prevent the gemstones from being combined again, a monk threw part of the gemstones into the abyss, and the rest were scattered by several monks.

The monsters all turned into mud and disappeared the moment the gem was broken. "

Sucheng finally stopped, the fire in front of him was much smaller, probably almost finished, Bai Wuhan listened in a daze, he said: "It's still an epic story, but didn't the monks all win? How did it become like this?"

Sucheng looked into the distance quietly: "Yes, this is a war between humans and monsters. It took a long time to win the war. Victory is very difficult, but defeat is very easy."

Sucheng continued: "Those monks can't change back. They let everyone leave the city built by monsters. They are the only ones left. They decided to stay here forever, guarding the abyss and gems, and preventing them from harming others. .

They rebuilt the city into a place suitable for them to live in. Those mortals who have been enslaved by monsters for a hundred years are very grateful to these monks. Some of them voluntarily stayed and helped these monks rebuild the city. Everything is developing in a good place.

The remaining gems were fused into four by them and placed in four cities respectively. They agreed that those who guard the gems could never leave their cities.

A peaceful life is always very short. Those people who were unwilling to help before the war began to visit here. What they asked the most was whether those monsters had any treasures brought out from the abyss. Such people would eventually was driven out of the city.

I don't know who discovered it first, these monks who turned into monsters can't hurt other people, those people who were afraid of their power started to pour in here in an instant, and they arrested these monks who turned into monsters, naturally they are not good to mortals polite.

For these mortals, just after the monsters were beaten away, another group of people came to enslave them, but this time they were no longer ugly monsters, but saint-like monks.

The monks who turned into monsters were quickly caught, and the gems were found, and the separated gems began to confuse people. There was a bloody battle to get the gems, and only the strongest stood at the end. As consciously as it is, it hates those who broke it, and it bewitches its new master to kill all the monks who have turned into monsters.

The new owner of the gem began to torture and kill these heroes who drove away the monsters. After he discovered that the monks who had turned into monsters had a bone that could emit light, he ordered his men to kill all the monks who turned into monsters and kill their monsters. The bones were taken out and embedded in every corner of the city, so that everyone could see the consequences of rebelling against him.

All of this went smoothly. Even with great strength, the monks who turned into monsters who could not make a move were all killed, and their bones filled every room. After killing the last monk who turned into a monster, The punishment finally came.

From then on, this land was cursed, and everything here was instantly swallowed up by the yellow sand, only the edge of the city wall built by the monsters isolated it from the outside. "

Su Cheng paused for a moment, then looked at Le Qianqiu: "Okay, the story is over, you should go too."

Le Qianqiu couldn't help being distracted when he heard half of it. Now he was feeling that the book he had read before was so well written. He suddenly heard Su Cheng say that he had finished speaking, and instantly became refreshed: "It's finished? Okay, let me see, Well, it should be almost burnt..."

Before he could finish speaking, a shadow suddenly appeared behind the city, and the shadow slowly solidified. It turned out to be a ruin, a ruin with no end in sight. The most eye-catching thing in this ruin was a towering tree. It was so big that the crown of the tree could almost cover the entire burned city. That was the tree they were looking for.

Bai Wuhan had already stood up, he was a little excited: "Look, that tree must be that tree, let's go."

As he said that, he was about to drag Le Qianqiu and Su Cheng away, but Su Cheng avoided: "Go, I'm finally free, I don't want to go back there again."

Bai Wuhan was stunned for a moment, and then said cheerfully: "Well, what you said is true, you have been trapped in that city all this time, now that you are free again, you definitely want to walk around, see you later when we pick the fruits and come out." .”

Le Qianqiu walked past Sucheng, vaguely heard a thank you, when he looked at Sucheng, Sucheng just smiled at him: "Let's go, he will be fine with you here, I really envy him, It would be great if I could have a companion like you." Su Cheng sighed as he spoke.

Le Qianqiu looked at him and said, "I'll see you later." Su Cheng nodded, then waved them to leave quickly.

Le Qianqiu pulled the sword out of the ground, retracted the scabbard, and then walked to the edge of the burning city. At this time, the whole city had been moved to flat ground, but the fire still did not go out. The place where the city used to be is now a piece of magma.

Le Qianqiu pulled out the sword that symbolized ice, swung it forward, and the entire magma was instantly frozen, and the red color disappeared, replaced by a silvery ice surface. Le Qianqiu put the sword away and said, "Let's go!" " Bai Wuhan nodded, and followed Le Qianqiu towards the big tree.

Su Cheng didn't turn around to leave, he watched Le Qianqiu and Bai Wuhan go away, and then sat down again, he didn't know where he took out a jug of wine and drank it.

In the story just now, what he didn't say was that one of the four cities was called Sucheng. As for his own name, he had long forgotten it. He only vaguely remembered that he had fought with his companions and defeated those monsters together. He was defeated by his own people. When he died, he hated it. He hoped that those who killed them would die a bad death. As a result, he did. Those who killed him and his companions became undead. , has been tortured every moment for tens of thousands of years.

Just looking at the endless yellow sand, he may have regretted it. He closed his eyes, as if he could still see what it used to be like here. The trees are shady, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, there are mountains and waters. When he opens his eyes, there is an endless There is a ruins in the desert. There is a big tree with lush branches and leaves in the desert. Outside the ruins is an ice field. From this point of view, it is actually not bad. Sucheng smiled, and the flames ignited on him. He had long been integrated with that city, and the city finally disappeared, and he was finally free.

Sucheng was thinking at the end, but he didn't expect that the fire could even burn that gemstone: "Is this God?" A faint voice echoed in the desert, and then disappeared, leaving nothing behind.
