polar demon

Chapter 4

The long night is finally over.

The torrential rain had turned into a drizzle, and the sky was still terribly gloomy, but the light piercing through the dark clouds finally began to dispel the fear in people's hearts.

Jiang Yuan didn't dare to close his eyes all night in the house, for fear that something strange would break into the house again.

Fortunately, nothing happened overnight.

The screams over Taiping Town had already faded away at dawn, leaving only ubiquitous crying.

Jiang Yuan stepped out of the room and onto the street.

When passing by his neighbor Uncle Li's house, he glanced inside.

Uncle Li's wife and children were already lying in a pool of blood, and their bodies showed signs of being eaten.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help thinking of the flesh and blood between Li Shu's teeth last night. This made him shudder.

"The official is gone!"

Some people rushed to the street crying and shouting:

"The county magistrate took his family and a group of policemen and ran away when the demons started making trouble last night!"

When the people around heard the news, it was as if they had been hit by a bolt from the blue, with deep despair in their eyes.

Jiang Yuan's heart also sank, the government has fled Taiping Town, which also means that the town will be completely chaotic
"Hahahahaha!" The commoner laughed wildly, his face full of madness, "Everyone is going to die! You are all going to die, and none of you can escape!"

Pedestrians around shook their heads when they saw this: "Crazy. He's crazy."

Suona and gongs and drums sounded again in the streets.

Flying yellow flags came from one end of the street, and the group of people I saw yesterday walked slowly with the altar on their shoulders.

"Mother Xuantian, the home of the vacuum! Daoist Yuheng, save the world!"

They shouted in unison, the old man on the altar is still as tall as a fairy.

Only this time, more people followed them.

With the government fleeing, the so-called real Yuheng seemed to be their only hope.

Jiang Yuan looked at all this, shook his head, and walked away slowly.

Once night falls, all kinds of ghosts and ghosts come out one after another.By day, everything seems to be hidden from sight.

In Jiang Yuan's memory, all kinds of weird legends seem to happen at night.

It seems that the alternation of day and night has become the boundary between danger and safety in this world.

Do not!Not quite.

For example, that scary little girl that Jiang Yuan met yesterday evening!

It seems that there are still demons haunting some dark corners.

On both sides of the street, the corpses of common people can be seen from time to time, and it seems that they are all left over from the tragedy of last night.

They died in different ways, and most of them were left uncollected, just lying on the side of the road like rubbish.

And Jiang Yuan, the body collector of Yizhuang, also quickly found their bodies.

A clatter of horseshoes suddenly sounded on the street, and a policeman was seen galloping into the town on horseback.

Immediately, some people shouted excitedly:

"It's the county government's arrest! That's great! The county magistrate didn't abandon us!"

However, immediately after that, the arrester suddenly fell off the horse, and when the people helped him up from the ground, his lips were already purple with fright.

"They're all dead." The policeman's empty eyes were full of deep fear, "We wanted to escape to the Acropolis in the east, but we met a group of ancients holding umbrellas on the way. They were very thin and tall, covered all over Covered with shabby cloth strips. The county magistrate, Wang Butou, and everyone else are all dead!"

Jiang Yuan frowned even more when he heard this.

There are demons even outside the town, so could it be said that Taiping Town has been surrounded by demons?
Jiang Yuan only felt a tightness in his chest, it seemed that he still couldn't get rid of the current predicament.

There are two roads leading from Taiping Town to the outside world, one leads to the Acropolis in the east, and the other leads to Yangcheng in the west.

In Jiang Yuan's memory, there are large uninhabited lands full of danger and weirdness between the towns in this world, and only the proven roads together with the towns are safe.

Although there are often strange rumors in other places, there has never been an accident on the two roads leading to the outside world in Taiping Town. I didn't expect that even the roads are no longer safe now.

The most important thing is that no matter which way you go, it will take several days.

With the roads no longer safe, if one wanted to leave Taiping Town and go to a safe city, it meant that at least a few nights would be exposed to the jungle or wilderness where demons were rampant.

Such a fact is too cruel.

"Even so, we must find a way to get out of here!" Jiang Yuan made up his mind.

The situation in Taiping Town has become worse and worse. Last night, the large-scale riots by demons and the escape of the government have already shown that Taiping Town will no longer be peaceful!

"what--!"

A scream suddenly sounded.

Jiang Yuan hurriedly recalled his thoughts, could there be another demon at work?
I saw a group of murderers with sharp knives rushing into the rice shop on the street. They stabbed the shopkeeper and staff of the rice shop viciously with sharp knives.The shopkeeper's wife and children who heard the movement ran out from the backyard to check, but were also surrounded by gangsters and stabbed to death.

After doing all this, the villains pushed a wooden cart, and then continuously moved out the rice bags from the rice shop and placed them on the cart.

"Has the murder and robbery finally started to be blatant?" Jiang Yuan felt chills in his heart, "It seems that Taiping Town will really be in total chaos soon. At this time, food is indeed the most important resource. "

The frightened people fled one after another. Originally, some people had counted on the arrester who returned on horseback, but the arrester escaped faster than anyone else.

Today's Taiping Town has lost its order on the surface. With the government's entire army annihilated, who would dare to stand up and stop it?

A villain looked up and saw Jiang Yuan on the street, who was at the nearest place to Mipu.

"Little brat, what are you looking at!"

While screaming viciously, the villain rushed over with a steel knife and slashed at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan's heart couldn't help but get angry, he just took a look, is he going to die for it?

But at this time, Jiang Yuan was no longer the poor scholar who had no power to restrain a chicken. The steel knife chopped down by the villain was surprisingly slow in his eyes.

Although the form of flame is immature, what it brings to Jiang Yuan is not only the improvement of strength, but also the sharpness of senses and speed, far exceeding normal people.

In Jiang Yuan's eyes, the knife that was slashed at Jiang Yuan was not only slow, but even as weak as a child.After feeling his own changes, Jiang Yuan looked forward to what kind of power his flame form would have when it matured.

With his eyes fixed, he sideways dodged the long knife, and his right fist had already struck hard at the villain's chest.

"Oh!"

There was only a muffled sound, and the villain flew upside down two feet and fell heavily to the ground.

His chest had collapsed in, and there was only air coming out of his mouth and nose, not in.

This time, the other villains were completely frightened. They had never seen a person who could send a strong man flying two feet away with a single punch.

After a brief moment of astonishment, they stood still and did not dare to move:

"This man... is a master of the rivers and lakes!"

A master of rivers and lakes?There are indeed many legends about this kind of people in Jiang Yuan's memory. Their martial arts are so strong that no one can resist them.

I wonder if in this world where demons are rampant, the reason why people can survive is because of their protection?

Only to hear those villains continue to say:

"Hero, please calm down! The person who offended you was also killed by you. Now we can say that there is no wrongdoing and no enmity. These heroes can take as much as they want, and we will never stop them!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan hesitated for a while, he didn't know if he should be like these villains, snatching the rice from the rice shop
In the end, he still gritted his teeth, stepped forward and grabbed a bag of rice and carried it on his shoulder.

In today's situation, the morality and rules of the past seem to have no binding force.What's more, there is no food in his home.

Just two steps away, Jiang Yuan suddenly put down the rice and returned.

Those villains clenched their sharp knives and stared nervously at Jiang Yuan.

I saw Jiang Yuan came to the villain who was punched to death by himself just now, and picked up the steel knife he had dropped on the ground.

Suddenly, without warning, Jiang Yuan slashed the steel knife towards the nearest villain.

Jiang Yuan's speed was so fast that that villain could not react.

With Jiang Yuan's sword falling, the villain's head flew high, and a bloody arrow gushed out from the cut of his neck.

"Ah! Run!" Seeing this scene, the rest of the villains turned their heads and fled in fright.

Jiang Yuan didn't bother to chase after him. He wiped the blood off the steel knife, pinned the knife to his waist, and finally picked up two bags of rice and left slowly.

In such a world, he needs a weapon to defend himself.

And murder is just a whim.

This kind of arousal is the kind of aspiration that needs to be vented, it is the aspiration to face the collapsed order and chaos, and it is also the aspiration to try to destroy.

The most incredible thing is that Jiang Yuan killed two people in a row for the first time. Not only did he not feel any discomfort, but he also felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart!
