Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

An hour later, they saw bright light before their eyes.

“Finally I’m back, but where is this place?

After Fang Yue and the fox girl came out of the portal, they were a little overwhelmed by the strange yet familiar scene before them.

The air here is fresh and pleasant, completely different from the atmosphere of the demon world which is full of restless power.

Surrounding it is a dense forest with trees towering into the clouds. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of light.

There was a light mist in the forest, and there seemed to be a faint vital energy flowing in the mist.

The fox girl sniffed the air lightly, with a thoughtful look in her eyes: "The spiritual energy here is pure and gentle, it is indeed different from the demon world. No wonder the demons have always wanted to come to the human world."

In the demon clan’s territory, the vitality is turbulent.

Except for those core areas, the environment in most other areas is very harsh.

It is difficult for ordinary monsters to survive there, even for high-level monsters, if they live in those areas for a long time.

As they absorb more violent energy, their minds will be affected, and they will either become irrational and murderous, or they will turn into wild beasts that act solely on instinct.

This is absolutely unacceptable to any demon clan.

Therefore, no matter which demon tribe in the entire demon world, all have an irresistible urge to invade the human world.

Fang Yue frowned slightly: "So that's how it is. In the eyes of the demon race, the human world is just a piece of fat meat. Everyone wants to take a bite!"

The fox girl nodded gently: "That's right. But the human world is not so easy to invade. Those seal nodes are set up to resist the demons. But now it seems that the seal is not foolproof."

The fox girl is kind by nature and hopes that the living environment of the demon tribe can be improved.

But they don't want to see the two tribes start fighting and blood flow like a river.

Fang Yue looked at the surrounding forest and said, "Let's ignore these things for now. We need to figure out where this place is."

They continued walking, and soon they heard the sound of gurgling water.

Walking in the direction of the sound, I found a clear stream.

In the stream, colorful fish are swimming happily, and the stones at the bottom of the stream are shining with a strange luster, as if they were gems polished by time.

Continuing forward from here, they arrived at the official road in about a quarter of an hour.

At this time, a group of merchants happened to be coming from a distance.

Fang Yue and the fox girl stood beside the official road, watching the caravan gradually approaching.

The merchants were leading mules and horses loaded with goods. Some in the team looked at Fang Yue and the fox girl warily, while others looked at their strange clothes and weapons curiously.

The leader of the caravan was a middle-aged man with a weathered face. He pulled the reins and shouted at Fang Yue and the other man, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Fang Yue clasped his fists and saluted: "We are on the road and have lost our way. We don't know where we are."

The leader looked at them and said with a calm expression: "This is Qingping County. Where are you from? You don't look like locals."

The fox girl smiled and replied, "We came from far away, but something unexpected happened on the way and we ended up here by accident."

The leader nodded and said, "To the south of Qingping County is the prosperous Jincheng, and to the north is the border. If you want to find a place to go, you can go to Jincheng, where you can find everything."

Fang Yue thanked the leader, and after the caravan left, he said to the fox girl, "Qingping County? We have never heard of it. It seems we need to find out more about it."

The fox girl looked at the direction the caravan left. "Well, maybe we can find more information about this place in Jincheng, and figure out how the world we are in now is related to what we knew before."

So the two of them walked along the official road towards Jincheng.

Along the way, they saw many pedestrians coming and going, including farmers carrying loads on their shoulders, scholars riding horses, and children playing and fighting.

In the fields along the roadside, crops are growing well, creating a vibrant scene.

After walking for a while, they came to a small town.

The town is very bustling with all kinds of shops on the street, including a blacksmith shop selling weapons, a restaurant filled with fragrant aroma, and a grocery store filled with all kinds of rare things.

People were walking around in the streets, with the sounds of bargaining and laughter intertwined.

Fang Yue and the fox girl walked into a restaurant and found an empty seat to sit down.

The waiter came over enthusiastically: "My two guests, what would you like to eat? We have our signature braised pork, steamed fish, and a variety of fine wines."

Fang Yue looked at the diners around him and said, "Give me a portion of braised pork, a portion of green vegetables, and a pot of wine."

While waiting for their meal, they heard people around them talking about some interesting stories and local rumors.

Fang Yue and the fox girl pricked up their ears and listened carefully to the conversations of the people around them.

Several big men at the next table were chatting animatedly. One of them, a bearded man, slapped the table and said, "Have you heard? There seems to be some strange movement in the forest near Qingping County recently. Some people said they saw a glowing figure. Could it be some kind of monster?"

Another thin man sneered, "How can there be so many monsters? Maybe someone is just making things mysterious. But the world is not peaceful recently. I heard that the border is not stable either. It seems that some forces are ready to make a move."

At this time, a man who looked like a scholar interrupted and said, "The border issue cannot be underestimated. If there is a war, the people will suffer. I just hope that the court can handle it properly and keep the peace."

The fox girl frowned and whispered to the fox girl, "It sounds like Qingping County is not peaceful. I wonder if the border issue will affect our search for a way back."

Fang Yue nodded slightly: "Well, let's take a look at the situation first."

At this time, the waiter brought the food, and the rich aroma of meat and wine filled the air.

Fang Yue tasted the braised pork, which was soft and tender with a mellow taste. He couldn't help but praise it, "It tastes really good."

The fox girl also picked up a piece of greens, chewed it gently and said, "This green is also very fresh."

As they ate, they continued to pay attention to the conversations of the people around them.

Then an old man said slowly, "The strange things in Qingping County are not limited to those in the mountains and forests. I heard that recently some wealthy families have been hearing strange noises at night, like someone crying, but when they go out to check, there is nothing."

A young man nearby laughed and said, "Maybe those wealthy families did something wrong and are being punished."

Everyone burst into laughter, but the old man shook his head: "Don't laugh, there are some things in this world that you'd better believe in than not believe in. The northern demon star is shining, and the demons have returned!" The diners around him also quieted down after hearing what the old man said, with horrified expressions on their faces. Someone whispered: "Is there really going to be a war? What's going to happen?"

At this time, the young man said again: "Old man, please don't scare us. Where did you hear this news?"

The old man sighed and said, "I have an old friend near the border. He sent me a message. It is said that there are signs of demons appearing at the border, and the imperial army is stepping up its vigilance."

Fang Yue and the fox girl looked at each other and decided to go find out more about the whereabouts of the demons after dinner. They knew that if the demons really broke through the seal and invaded on a large scale, the human world would be in great crisis.

The two hurriedly finished their meal and asked the waiter where they could get more information. The waiter thought for a moment and said, "My two guests, if you want to know something, you can go to the escort agency in the east of the town and ask. The escorts there travel all over the country and are well-informed."

Fang Yue and the fox girl thanked the waiter and walked towards the east of the town. Along the way, they saw people with worried looks on their faces. It was obvious that the news had spread throughout the town.

Arriving at the escort agency, the escorts inside were busy sorting the goods and checking the weapons. Fang Yue walked up, clasped his fists and asked an experienced old escort, "Senior, we have heard some news about the demon tribe and would like to ask you about it."

The old escort looked at Fang Yue and the fox girl and said, "You guys heard about it too? This matter has been spreading like wildfire recently. Our escort agency has also received a lot of news saying that the border is not peaceful and the demon tribe is making unusual movements. But we don't know the specific situation, we only know that the court has been strengthening the border defense."

The fox girl asked, "Then do you know how the demons broke through the seal? Wasn't there a sealing node before?"

The old escort shook his head: "We don't know about that, but the seal has been there for so long, something might go wrong. Anyway, don't go to the north recently, it has been blocked by the imperial army!"

After a while, after understanding the news clearly.

Fang Yue and the fox girl left.

After they left the escort agency, they walked on the streets of the town with extremely heavy hearts.

"It seems that the situation is more complicated than we thought. The demons should have broken the seal. We have to leave here immediately." Fang Yue said with a frown.

On the northern border of the Great Wei, in a demon camp, there was a gloomy and restless atmosphere.

The camp was filled with monsters of various shapes and sizes. Some were huge with ferocious faces, while others were small but had cunning eyes.

In the center of the camp, a tall demon general with powerful demonic power was standing in front of a map, thinking.

The black armor on his body exuded a strange luster, and the horns on his head were as sharp as blades.

A demon soldier knelt on one knee next to him and reported the situation:

"General, we have broken through some of the seals. Many of our brothers have entered the human world, but we have also encountered some resistance. The human court's army is organizing a defense."

The general sneered: "Humph, human resistance is futile.

However, we cannot be careless. There is still some residual power in those sealed nodes. We should continue to send people to find a way to break it and ensure that the subsequent army can smoothly enter the human world. "

"Yes!" The demon soldier took the order and left.

At this time, another demon general came over. He had unique patterns on his body and exuded a mysterious aura:
"General, we must act quickly in this operation. I heard that many powerful people from the human race are on their way here, and there seems to be some mysterious power in this world that is trying to stop us."

"Mysterious power? No matter what it is, it can't stop us demons. We have endured that harsh place for too long. This time we must occupy the human world and give the demons a better place to live."

There was a firm and fanatical light in the eyes of the leading general.

On the other side of the camp, some captured human soldiers were held in simple cages.

Their eyes were filled with fear and anger as they looked at the monsters around them, their hearts filled with worry about their homeland.

Their eyes were filled with fear and anger as they looked at the monsters around them, their hearts filled with worry about their homeland.

One of the soldiers tightly grasped the broken sword in his hand and said with gritted teeth:
"These damned monsters, if I have the chance, I will fight them to the death!"

The soldier next to him smiled bitterly and advised: "Don't be impulsive, we need to conserve our strength and wait for rescue."

Outside the demon camp, spies sent by the human court were lurking cautiously, observing the movements inside the camp.

They recorded everything they saw and prepared to report back to the court.

One of the spies whispered to his companions, "The situation is not good. The demon tribe seems to be well prepared. We must pass the news back as soon as possible."

As for Fang Yue and the fox girl, they quickened their pace to leave the town.

Fang Yue said to the fox girl, "The demon tribe is coming aggressively. I am worried about the safety of my parents at home. I have to go back and settle them down first."

The fox girl nodded: "You go quickly and come back quickly. I will continue to explore the method of fighting against the demons. We will meet in Jincheng."

Fang Yue used his skills to rush towards his hometown.

The further south you go, the more stable the environment becomes.

Fang Yue was extremely anxious and walked quickly through mountains, forests and fields.

He saw that the further south he went, the fewer signs of the demon tribe's influence there were. Smoke rose from the villages, children played in the fields, and farmers continued to work, as if the crisis in the north was just a distant nightmare.

However, Fang Yue knew that this peace was only temporary. If the demons could not be stopped, the South would sooner or later be plunged into war.

He did not dare to slack off for the moment and worked day and night.

Finally, Fang Yue arrived at the small town where he was born.

The old locust tree at the entrance of the town is still lush and green, and pedestrians come and go on the familiar streets.

He ran straight home. The door was closed. Fang Yue knocked gently and shouted loudly: "Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

The door opened, and the familiar face of mother Chen appeared before her, her eyes full of surprise and worry:

"Zhi'er, why are you back? You've been away for so long, your mother must have been worried sick."

Fang Yue hugged his mother tightly, feeling the long-lost warmth, his eyes slightly reddened:
"Mother, I am sorry for making you worry. The northern demon tribe has broken through the seal and the situation is critical. I am worried about you and father, so I came back to see you."

Chen took Fang Yue's hand and welcomed him into the house, muttering:

"I'm glad you're back. I'm glad you're back. You must be exhausted from the journey. Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat."

Fang Yue looked at everything familiar in the house, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart, but he still hurriedly said:

"Mom, don't be busy yet. The demons have already started to invade the human world. In a few months, this place will no longer be safe. We have to leave as soon as possible and find a safe place to hide." (End of this chapter)
