Chapter 594 Herd
The Barbarian King replied,

"It's because of the beast herd incident. For some reason, this year's beast herd outbreak is the most ferocious in the past 180 years..."

He paused and said,

"...Many villages were not defended. Not only were the villages destroyed, but many people were also killed or injured. Although our village is large and the wall is stronger than other villages, it also suffered considerable damage. About 70,000 to 80,000 people died..."

When the Barbarian King said this, he seemed to recall the scene of the beasts attacking the village at that time, and he was still frightened. He said in panic,
"In previous years, when beasts attacked the village, our warriors would just hold off a few waves, then retreat when they realized they couldn't take it down. But this year, the beasts seemed to be crazy, not caring about life or death, and kept attacking the village. And for some reason... In previous years, the stone pillars erected by the witch god in the village would protect the safety of the village, but this year... there was no movement at all. Many tribes were not prepared at all. When the beasts attacked, the first wave was attacked by them into the village..."

Thinking of the beasts entering the village and wantonly eating people and trampling houses, the Barbarian King's facial muscles twitched and he took a deep breath and said,
"...A herd of beasts broke into the village. It was only because our ancestors scared them away that our village was saved. However, other villages were in a very miserable state..."

The worst hit were those villages which were neither big nor small. The barbarians in the small villages realized early on that the beasts were coming in full force and knew they could not resist, so they packed up and ran away. However, those villages which were neither big nor small thought they could still resist, and the people in the villages made no preparation to escape. As a result, the witch god pillars were completely ineffective, allowing the beasts to rush into the villages. Many tribal personnel suffered heavy casualties, and some even had their villages destroyed directly!

"The Wushen Pillar didn't work?"

Gu Shiyi raised his eyebrows and thought about it, and suddenly realized that this matter seemed to have something to do with him. The witch god was torn into pieces and eaten by the hungry ghosts he released. How could he protect the people here?

"Cough cough..."

Gu Shiyi touched the tip of her nose. Of course, she had nothing to feel guilty about. In a life-and-death situation like that, who could care less about whom?

"Then?"

Barbarian King's Way,
"Afterwards, Grandma received a message from the people in Yaoguang City, saying that the beast outbreak was too fierce this time, and there seemed to be someone behind the scenes manipulating it, so they asked Grandma to go and discuss countermeasures..."

"Is it?"

Gu Shiyi frowned in thought, but Pu Yanlan, who had been silent, spoke up.

"Ask him what's happening to the beasts now, and whether the fox and the king followed Granny Lanhua to Yaoguang City?"

Gu Shiyi then repeated Pu Yanlan's question, and the Barbarian King nodded and said,
"When grandma left, she took a woman and a baby with her. I don't know if they are the ones you are looking for..."

As he spoke, he seemed to be thinking of something, and there was something strange on his face.
"woman?"

Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan looked at each other and thought to themselves,
"Woman, could it be that the fox has successfully transformed?"

And listen to the barbarian king's way,

"Those beasts were indeed instigated by someone. After ravaging the villages, they all headed for Yaoguang City. I have sent my eldest son and second son to lead 20,000 people to report the news and help them defend the city before the beasts arrived..."

Gu Shiyi asked hurriedly,
"How long have they been gone?"

The Barbarian King thought for a moment and said,

"Counting the days, the old man has been gone for two months, and my sons have been gone for nearly a month!"

Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan looked at each other.

"If that's the case, let's go to Yaoguang City!"

The two of them left in stealth. Before leaving, Gu Shiyi looked back at his stepfather, threw a bottle of pills to him, cleared his throat and said,

"Well... you've been poisoned, and your body has been damaged. This will replenish your body... well... take it easy!"

After that, the two figures disappeared into the night. The Barbarian King looked at the bottle of elixir in his arms for a long time, then he picked it up, opened the lid and sniffed it, then carefully put it under the pillow. He turned his head to look at the beautiful middle-aged woman who was sleeping soundly. After being interrupted, he didn't have any more thoughts, so he lay down and fell asleep... Where is Yaoguang City? Gu Shiyi heard from Grandma Lanhua that it should be to the west of the Qingmang Clan. The two of them left the Qingmang Clan and headed west. They flew all night and found a place to stop and rest at dawn.

Pu Yanlan looked around,
"There are no signs of the beast tribe here. It seems that they have all gone to Yaoguang City!"

Gu Shiyi had seen how many beast tribes there were in the wilderness, and he counted them in his mind and couldn't help but sigh,
“Even though many were killed during the attack on the village, the number of beastmen attacking Yaoguang City should be no less than 100,000!”

One hundred thousand beasts who don't know how to live or die, with red eyes and are determined to rush into a city!
This wild city cannot compare to the big cities built by humans in the Central Plains, with high walls and deep pits, which are very solid. In fact, the city here cannot be called a city at all. It is just some huge wood, mud and stones, mixed together, piled up layer by layer, and then compacted layer by layer. If you say it is solid, it can only defend against humans. If it is used to defend against those giant beasts that can knock down the houses with one foot, it is really vulnerable!

Gu Shiyi was a little worried about Yaoguang City.

"We are so late, could it be that the city has already been breached?"

Pu Yanlan thought for a while and said,
"Probably not. If there was, the Barbarian King of the Qingmang Clan would have gotten the news!"

"It's true!"

There was no point in talking more. After they rested, they began to fly towards Yaoguang City. After flying another 500 miles, they saw many traces of animal activities. After another 200 miles, they saw a large group of crows flying towards them. It was a huge black group that covered the sky.
"careful!"

Gu Shiyi pulled Pu Yanlan up into the sky, and flew straight into the clouds in the sky, avoiding the flock of crows. The two looked at each other, and Gu Shiyi stuck out his tongue and said,

"Did you see clearly that those crows are not ordinary crows?"

Pu Yanlan nodded,
"Indeed not!"

These crows are completely black, except for their long pointed beaks which are goose yellow. Their eyes are red, and each of them has a pink tumor on the top of their head with countless small bumps on it. They look very disgusting!
Gu Shiyi thought about it and realized that the crows he saw in the wilderness did not have this kind of tumor. After discussing it, the two decided to hide their bodies, hold their breath, and fly slowly at low altitude. From then on, they could see countless herds of beasts along the way. These herds were big and small, including beasts and birds. Several kinds of beasts were mixed together, but they did not fight or quarrel. They were all heading in one direction. A rough count showed that there were tens of thousands of these herds. Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan looked down from the air and saw that this army of wild beasts was so ferocious and spectacular!
However, it is not easy for a city to withstand the attacks of so many beasts!

When they arrived near Yaoguang City, they saw from afar a huge city built on the plain. The walls of this city were built with huge stones from the mountains. Each stone was three meters thick and five meters high. In the cracks of the stone walls, there was something unknown, shining with silver light. Whenever a group of beasts rushed over, the silver light flashed continuously, causing many beasts to be blinded and lose their direction, crashing into the city walls with their brains splattered, or tripping and bumping into their companions, rolling into a ball and breaking bones. The situation was so tragic that Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan frowned again and again.

"These beasts are really crazy!"

It is the nature of wild animals to seek benefits and avoid harm. They will become crazy because of hunger, but once the threat of death exceeds the threat of hunger, they will judge the situation and turn around and run away, instead of rushing forward recklessly without knowing the danger or pain!
Gu Shiyi thought for a while and said,

"wait!"

His body flashed, and a gust of black evil wind rolled up, and it rolled towards the ground. When he came back, he was holding a knocked-out mountain wolf in his hand.
"Look..."

Gu Shiyi pointed between the wolf's ears and saw a small tumor on the top of its head.

"I think... this thing might be the cause of the trouble!"

Pu Yanlan nodded, took out a small dagger and cut it gently, and the tumor between the wolf's ears was cut off. After another light cut, a black and purple gas came out of the tumor.
"Demon energy?"

Looking at the mountain wolf whose tumor had been cut off, its eyes were clear at this moment. With a bleeding round wound on its forehead, it was struggling in Gu Shiyi's hands with a look of fear. Gu Shiyi threw it far away. The mountain wolf was so frightened that its limbs danced wildly in mid-air, and the hair on its back stood up in fear. Seeing the ground getting closer and closer, it was about to fall to death on the spot, but when it was about to hit the ground, it was supported by a ball of black air and landed gently on the ground.
"Ow..."

After the mountain wolf landed, it looked around, screamed, and disappeared into the bushes...

"It seems that someone is indeed manipulating the situation behind the scenes..."

Demonic energy exists in the human world as well. When the demons invaded in the ancient times, a large amount of demonic energy poured into the human world, and those places are still forbidden areas for humans until now, such as the Shuangsheng Mountain and Duanlong Ridge in the past. Any human or beast who mistakenly enters the area covered by demonic energy will become irrational, crazy and violent. But that is where demonic energy gathers, and it will only happen if they go too deep into it. And these beasts in front of them, it is clear that someone has used a secret method to implant demonic energy in their brains, and commanded them to attack the wild humans. This is naturally someone manipulating it behind the scenes!
However, there are a group of one hundred thousand beasts!

If it was done by one person, then... this cultivator must be a high-level powerful being. Why are Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan still looking for the fox and the king? It is better for them to run away as soon as possible and save their own lives!
