Chapter 316 Transformed Monsters Attack the Camp
Regarding what is about to happen in the Southwest region.
Even if everyone didn't know at the beginning of the evacuation, they do know now.
The speculation on the internet has come true.
It seems the demon race is about to break the peace treaty and launch a war against the southwest region.
In a short time.
The people who had been complaining about the martial arts association's mess fell silent.
Everyone fell silent.
Especially when they learned that all those who evacuated were ordinary people, while the martial artists remained in the two provinces.
Everyone felt a deep sense of emotion, helplessness, and anger.
They were moved by the fact that those martial artists were risking their lives for them.
They were even more furious at the actions of the demon race.
We've been at peace for thousands of years, so why do this again?
Why drag everyone into the war?
Isn't peace good?
There's also the Federation.
Correct.
It's the federation.
The demon race is rampaging and wants to kill hundreds of millions of people in the entire southwest region.
To destroy the entire southwest region, including two major provinces.
Such a big matter, who dares to say the Federation doesn't know?
Who dares to say the federal government was unaware?
But what did the Federation do?
The federal government did nothing!
For reasons unknown, the Federation has turned a blind eye to the lives of hundreds of millions of people in two major provinces.
finally……
The martial arts associations of the two major provinces have no choice but to deal with this on their own.
A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in their hearts, completely engulfing Zhao Lei and the others like a tidal wave.
Make them feel desperate.
Because everyone knows that the martial artists of the two major provinces have faced an extremely difficult situation this time.
There is a very high probability that they may even be completely wiped out.
However, their conversation was overheard by the martial artist in front, who couldn't help but sneer.
"You came here?"
"Kill you?"
Save your breath.
"With your measly two ounces of flesh, you wouldn't even be enough to fill the teeth of a demon."
Another young martial artist chimed in, his tone even more aggressive, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword.
"that is."
"The targets of those demons are the strong human race, the patriarchs and elders of various families, and the core martial artists in various cities."
He turned half his face to the side.
He glanced disdainfully at the three people behind him.
"you?"
"What's the point of killing a bunch of ordinary people who don't even have true qi? Would it be a waste of your energy?"
"Even if some blind, starving little demon brat does wander over..."
As he spoke, he patted the hilt of his sword at his waist, looking very confident.
"It's just a matter of one or two."
"What are you afraid of?"
"With us here, do you think you'd get carried away?"
Zhao Lei and the other two were speechless, looking somewhat embarrassed.
At this time.
The night wind seemed to have picked up a bit.
It made a whooshing sound as it passed through the dark woods in the distance.
It sounded like something was crying.
It also sounded like something was laughing.
Sudden.
"Waaaaah—waaaah—"
In the direction of that dark forest in the distance.
The sound of the wind suddenly changed.
It was no longer a continuous low hum.
Instead, it was intermittent, mixed with something like a sob.
The five people stopped in their tracks instantly.
In an instant, a chill shot from my tailbone straight up to the top of my head.
The hairs on my head stand on end.
"Wh...what was that sound?"
Wang Fu's voice trembled.
The two warriors in front also turned around abruptly, looking into the darkness from which the sound came.
The two exchanged a glance.
Both were very solemn.
There's something wrong with that sound.
"You two."
One of them, named Wu Zhen, turned to Zhao Lei and Wang Fu and gave them a command.
"Let's go see what's going on."
"what?"
Wang Fu's face turned pale instantly, and he quickly shook his head.
"I...I'm not going..."
"Lord Wu, Lord Chen, I...I'm scared..."
"What a piece of trash!"
Another martial artist named Chen Feng cursed under his breath.
"Angkor, let me go."
He gripped the knife handle tightly.
He was about to step forward.
Wu Zhen raised his hand to stop him, his gaze sweeping over the three men, Zhao Lei and the others, who were already frightened.
Let's go together.
"Don't get separated."
"If something happens, we can look out for each other."
"It might just be the sound of the wind, or some nocturnal animal."
"Just take a look. If there's nothing wrong, immediately return to camp and report."
After saying that, he turned around first and carefully made his way toward the edge of the grove of trees that was making strange noises.
Chen Feng gritted his teeth and followed closely behind.
Two martial artists took the lead, and Zhao Lei and his group naturally couldn't refuse.
Gritting his teeth, he followed.
"Walk."
……
The five people formed a loose line.
Gradually move away from the edge of the campground that can barely be illuminated by the camplight.
As they drew closer, the strange "whooshing" sound became increasingly clear, sometimes intermittent.
It even included a teeth-grinding, crunching sound, similar to chewing hard objects.
Getting closer.
The sound became clearer and clearer.
Wu Zhen, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped and raised his hand to signal.
He could vaguely see a larger, irregularly shaped black shadow wriggling slightly in the shadows under several crooked trees a dozen meters ahead.
"It's just ahead."
Wu Zhen slowly drew his long sword.
Chen Feng also drew his sword, his Adam's apple bobbing.
Zhao Lei and his two companions followed at the back, holding their breath and their hearts pounding.
But just then...
"call out--"
From the bushes to the side and behind, a dark figure suddenly pounced out with astonishing speed.
They rushed straight towards Old Zhang, who was at the back of the group.
"Watch out, Lao Zhang!"
Zhao Lei caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye and screamed in horror.
But it was too late.
"ah."
Old Zhang only had time to let out a short, painful scream.
The dark figure had already tackled him to the ground.
Everyone immediately turned around and finally saw what it was.
It was a monster that resembled a hyena, but was more than twice the size.
"Snap!"
A chilling sound of bones cracking rang out.
The hyena-like monster bit Old Zhang's throat in one bite.
Warm, fresh blood gushed out, spraying wildly and splattering onto Wang Fu, who was standing nearby.
"ah!!!"
Wang Fu screamed in agony, his soul nearly leaving his body.
"Old Zhang!"
Zhao Lei's eyes were bloodshot, and he was about to rush forward.
"Don't go over there!"
Wu Zhen quickly shouted sternly.
While grabbing Zhao Lei, he swung his sword at the monster that had pounced on Old Zhang.
The blade flashed sharply.
But the monster was exceptionally agile and dodged in an instant.
"Run! Run back!"
Chen Feng also realized what was happening and yelled at the terrified Wang Fu.
however.
"hehe……"
Another voice suddenly came from the shadows ahead.
That wriggling black shadow.
He slowly stood up.
The moonlight pierced through the gaps in the clouds, casting a pale, eerie glow.
Illuminate that figure.
That was a "person".
To be precise, it was a humanoid monster that was nearly two meters tall and wearing tattered leather armor.
"Transformed...transformed into a demonic beast?"
Wu Zhen's pupils suddenly contracted.
"It's a demon!"
"Only spirits... can achieve such simple human form!"
Chen Feng's face turned deathly pale in an instant, and his whole body began to tremble.
Demon spirit!
Equivalent to a Martial Spirit expert among humans!
They were simply not a match for these two martial artists who were at the highest level of martial arts!
The demon spirit slowly stepped forward, its voice cold and sharp.
"hehe."
"I just wanted to have some 'snacks' in peace and quiet."
"Who told you to run into them?"
"That's just asking for trouble."
