the only savior

"Brother, there's a lot of resentment here, what's going on, these corpses don't feel so simple..."

In the river valley of Pingyang County, two figures appeared here, looking out of place in this dead and silent battlefield.

These two figures, one tall and one short, are both wearing white training clothes. The one who spoke just now was the short one, in fact, a long-haired woman with a slightly immature face.

The long-haired woman frowned, a small green sword was suspended in her hand, and the small sword buzzed in her palm, as if it was about to break free at any time.

Beside her, a man aged twenty-nine and about 1.8 meters tall looked at the surrounding environment with a solemn expression.

Although this man is also carrying an exquisite long sword, he has no intention of using it. On the contrary, a pair of fleshy palms exudes a faint blue light, and there is even a mist lingering on them. , It is bound to be discovered that this is actually a retrograde move.

This man and woman are disciples from Tianyuanzong. They were summoned by the master before and learned that there was a change in Pingyang County, so they were sent to investigate the situation.

They all entered the sect two years ago, the male named Deng Zhen, and the female named Lin Man. Before joining the sect, they were just ordinary people. By chance, they learned about the Xianyuan Conference. Fortunately, he passed the test of the innate spiritual root and joined this unimaginable fairy gate.

But now they are all just beginners, their cultivation has just broken through the body refining state and reached the integration state.

This time the sect sent them over, in fact, it was mainly just a reconnaissance mission.

Because Tianyuanzong received help from His Majesty the Emperor of the Dafu Dynasty, the first battle in Pingyang County caused heavy losses to the imperial army. Jingxuan always suspected that something strange happened to his 100 million army. Within a short period of time, he was slaughtered by 10 people from Jing Heng, so he asked for help from Tian Yuanzong, who had always had friendship.

Under normal circumstances, the head of Tianyuanzong once ordered that they would not interfere with the development of the mortal world, so if it was just a simple war between two forces, they would not interfere.

But this time something was really strange, let alone 100 million people, even if 100 million pigs were put there to be slaughtered, it was impossible for them to be slaughtered so quickly.

Knowing this, after receiving the request for help from the imperial court, Tian Yuanzong still sent two disciples to investigate the situation.

"Junior Sister, this place is indeed the same as in the news. The resentment is soaring, and when there is a faint suffocation, it must not be what ordinary people say. Let's be careful."

The male disciple named Deng Zhen said with a serious face.

He raised his hand to pinch out a spell, and then wiped it in front of his eyes, a silver-white light appeared in his eyes.

"Sky eyes! Open!"

As the man let out a low voice, the surrounding environment suddenly became a little different in his perception.

Surrounded by a piece of gray, according to the name of the master, these are the spiritual energy that can be clearly perceived after opening the eyes of the sky.

The cultivation base of the two disciples is not advanced, and they can't detect the specific situation of the spiritual energy fluctuations only by breath perception. They must rely on some special spells to do so.

"Brother, have you found anything?"

The woman asked in a low voice.

The man shook his head with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's strange, there is so much resentment here, logically speaking, it shouldn't be so calm, how can there be no resentment?"

"is it?"

The woman showed curiosity, and then blessed herself with a Heavenly Eye Jue, and began to observe the surrounding environment.

"Huh? What is that?"

Suddenly, she found a figure in the gray aura.

The figure looked like a human being, squatting on the ground at the moment, as if concentrating on doing something, and didn't seem to notice the arrival of the two of them.

"Something's wrong! Junior sister, be careful!"

Deng Zhen's voice sounded from the side.

You must know that under the vision of this kind of sky eye, it is impossible for the figure of ordinary people to appear in it.

Because ordinary people do not have spiritual energy in their bodies, once they can be perceived by the sky eye, they must also be creatures with spiritual power, such as monks, or monsters...

The river valley was very quiet, perhaps the sound of the two talking caught the attention of the figure over there, who suddenly stopped his busy movements, and then turned his head suddenly to look over.

The two monks of Tianyuanzong were also looking there. In the world visible to the naked eye, there was a huge rock in front of them, and that strange figure was standing behind the rock.

"Be careful! He's coming!"

Deng Zhen exclaimed, blue light bloomed in his hands, and he was already in a fighting posture.

The next moment, behind the boulder, a figure turned over the stone at an extremely incredible speed, and then accelerated towards the two of them.

"That is……"

The pupils of the two shrank, shocked by the scene in front of them.

The thing rushing over, where is it a human being, is clearly a monster with a shriveled head that looks like a human and a demon!

"Roar!"

The monster let out a hoarse and ugly cry, and when it opened its mouth, a foul-smelling wind rushed towards the two of them.

Its ten fingers are as sharp as knives, and the tops are gleaming with cold light. If it is caught by it, it will probably end in disembowelment immediately.

"Monster! Demon cultivators are rampant!"

Deng Zhen's expression froze, a blue light flashed in his hand, and he greeted the monster with a palm.

In the air, a faint water mist emerged, where the palm passed, the mist dispersed, and even the spiritual energy surged up.

"boom!"

There was a dull crashing sound, and in the mist, a man and a monster had already handed over their hands.

Their speed is very fast. If ordinary people saw it, it would be difficult for them to realize what happened just now.

But Lin Man is not an ordinary person, her eyes can see everything just now.

"Brother!"

Lin Man exclaimed, and hurried forward to check the situation.

In front of his eyes, senior brother Lin Zhen's arm was dripping with blood, and the scratched wounds on it had a black luster, which was truly terrifying.

"Brother! You are poisoned! Take these Qingxin Pills quickly!"

Lin Man took out a small bottle from his bosom, and stuffed a small black pill inside into the opponent's mouth.

Lin Zhen swallowed the elixir, and immediately recuperated with luck and spiritual power, and his complexion turned slightly better.

He looked forward to the figure that fell to the ground. Although this monster hurt him, it was also injured by his retrograde art. A large piece of his chest was sunken, and he seemed to be dead.

"What a powerful monster! Where did this thing come from? The cultivation base has reached the peak of the spirit monster, comparable to a monk who is about to build a foundation. I also suffered from it under carelessness. I didn't expect the monster body of this monster It turned out to be so tyrannical."

Lin Zhen looked at the fallen corpse with a look of lingering fear in his eyes.

In fact, his cultivation base is obviously stronger than the opponent, but it is also due to his lack of combat experience. After all, he was just an ordinary person before cultivation, and he had no experience in fighting the enemy. Brothers and sisters who come from master backgrounds, the result will definitely be different.

Junior sister Lin Man couldn't care less about comforting her senior brother at this time, she stared at the ugly corpse on the ground without blinking, with a hint of fear in the depths of her eyes.

The corpse looked extremely attractive, and the shriveled muscles were dark brown, like bacon that had been dried for ten years.

At the claws and teeth, the sharp cold awns pierce the hairs of people's hearts, as if they will be torn apart just by looking at them.

It's no wonder that this female cultivator is so unbearable. Although she has practiced for three years, she has never come into contact with these monsters and ghosts before. This is the first time she has encountered such ugly monsters when she went out to practice and perform tasks. It is inevitable that she will feel frightened.

"Brother, is this... a zombie...?"

Lin Man asked with some uncertainty, the monster in front of him was very similar to the kind of zombie that Master had described, they all looked like mummy.

"It shouldn't be... Master said that zombies are transformed by corpses that do not enter reincarnation, and their vitality is tenacious. Even if their heads are chopped off, they may not die..."

"Look, Junior Sister, although the monster in front of me looks similar to it, and its body is also very powerful, but if it is a zombie, the injury on its chest should not kill it. The unknown monster..."

The two looked around the corpse carefully, and found that the monster's body was still wearing some cloth, which seemed to be fragments of some kind of clothing.

Lin Zhen held back his nausea and picked up a piece of fragment to look at it, and then he said with a surprised expression:
"This seems to be... the armor passed down by soldiers in the army!?"

"what!?"

Lin Man was also surprised, and immediately understood the meaning it represented.

"Brother, are you sure? If this is a piece of armor, then he..."

She hesitated, but in the end she couldn't get the answer out of her mouth.

Lin Zhen nodded heavily and said:

"I'm afraid he is the soldier who participated in this battle..."

"Although I have never joined the army, my father used to be a soldier. I have seen the appearance of armor in the army... Judging from the traces at the scene, this monster should have belonged to King Jingheng... "

As soon as he made these conclusions, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little frozen. The answer to why the imperial army was defeated seemed to be ready.

"In the battle of Pingyang County, the enemy that the imperial army faced was such a monster...?"

Lin Man swallowed, and said in disbelief.

"Then if...there are monsters like this on the rebel side, then..."

Her words got stuck in her throat, and she dared not continue.

However, Lin Zhen still understood the meaning.

It is said that King Jing Heng's army has 10 people. If it is true that the army is full of such terrifying monsters as they have guessed before, then there are [-] monsters. What a terrifying scene.

In this way, even if Tian Yuanzong makes a move, it may be difficult to deal with so many monsters, right?

"It's also possible that these are not all monsters...Maybe King Jing Heng learned some evil methods from somewhere, and transformed some soldiers into this half-human, half-demon form..."

Lin Zhen said something he didn't believe, and his face was very ugly.

"No, we must bring this news back as soon as possible and let the elders of the sect know, otherwise, once the monsters here become popular, the result may be unimaginable!"

As soon as the two of them were about to leave, they brought the corpse on the ground back to the sect as evidence.

At this time, even the female cultivator Lin Man didn't care about whether it was disgusting or not, and she and her senior brother Lin Zhen carried the corpse.

With the ability of the two of them to control the sword that they have just mastered for a long time, it is really impossible for one person to take it away.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden gust of evil wind from the sky, and the bitter wind blew the two of them to one side or the other. Bloodstains were cut off from their bodies, and one end fell from the sky.

Fortunately, all the cultivators have good physical fitness. After all, the first level of cultivation is body training. Although they were thrown to pieces, they did not suffer too serious injuries.

"Jie Jie Jie! Your Majesty is really predictable. He said that there will be human monks who don't have long-sightedness here to investigate. I didn't expect you to come so slowly. I have been waiting for a month!"

In the sky, a strange bird with huge wings flew towards the two of them, making piercing and shrill sounds while flying.

"Spitting out people's words, this is a monster in the foundation building period!"

Lin Zhen's expression changed upon seeing this.

"Jiejiejie? Foundation building period? Don't compare me with that kind of waste. Speaking of it, I would like to thank you for so much rations, which allowed me to rise to the level of the demon core so quickly. Jiejie, I thought the feast was over, no Thinking of sending two delicious snacks to your door!"

The strange bird hovered above the heads of the two, but what it said made them even more desperate.

Demon Core Realm!
Doesn't that mean that the opponent's actual cultivation base can already be counted as an immortal cultivator in the golden core stage, and compared to their strength, they are strong in the heart-beating realm.

Heart-beating realm, this is already the third realm of a cultivator, a whole stage higher than the two of them, how can this be beaten?
The strange bird also fell to the ground at this time, and its shape changed the moment it landed, turning into a humanoid creature with feathers and a bird's head.

Seeing that the other party can basically change the shape, this also verifies what it just said is true, and only monsters who have reached the realm of the demon core can do this.

Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen and Lin Man couldn't help feeling even more desperate.

"Senior brother be careful!"

Lin Man suddenly reminded him.

I don't know when, dozens of mummy monsters have quietly surrounded the two of them, the monster is so vicious, obviously has the strength to be crushed, but it still attracts their attention with words, and wants to launch a sneak attack .
