Miaojiang's Catastrophe

"Don't let these monsters breach the village. Hold it! You must hold it!"

"Kill! Kill!"

I'll fight you to the death.

"The Beast God will protect us."

"We will win, hang in there!"

"..."

Bai'er Stockade,

Outside the main village of the White Miao

It was a dense, overwhelming mass of monsters.

They were neither human nor ghost, with ashen faces, bared teeth, and zombie-like appearances. Their eyes held no humanity, only bloodlust and killing intent.

They used to be human, but now they've all turned into ferocious and monstrous monsters.

All of this originated from Black Li Stockade.

No one knows what happened, but overnight, tens of thousands of Miao people in Black Li Stockade all turned into these terrifying monsters.

They attack people they encounter and bite anyone they see.

Anyone bitten by them will also turn into one of these monsters within a short period of time.

The seventy-two villages of the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains were affected, turning them into a living hell.

The surviving Miao people all fled towards the Beast God Abyss, gathering in the territory of the White Miao, united in their fight against these terrifying monsters.

But there are just too many monsters, and their numbers are only increasing.

They are fearless of swords and spears, unafraid of death, and unaware of pain; they chase after the scent of the living solely on their killing instinct.

The territory of the White Miao began to fall.

The group could only fight back while continuing their retreat.

They retreated to Bai'er Stockade White Miao, where there was nowhere left to retreat.

Behind Bai'er Stockade lies a dense forest shrouded in poisonous mist, and beyond that forest lies the sacred Beast God Abyss of the Miao people.

The leader of the Green Miao Great Miao Chief, Long Qing, suggested that everyone retreat into the Beast God Abyss and seek the protection of the Beast God, but this suggestion was immediately rejected by the leader of the White Miao Great Miao Chief, Bai Sang.

Because, according to his observation,

The toxin barrier, which normally thins out every three years, suddenly became abnormal for some reason. Instead of thinning, it became increasingly concentrated.

The medicinal White Miao they developed was simply not enough to allow anyone to safely pass through the dense forest shrouded in poisonous veils.

He also speculated that the changes in the poisonous barrier in the dense forest must be related to those mutated monsters.

This is a catastrophe, a conspiracy against the entire Miao people and the Beast God.

These monsters' ultimate target is definitely the Beast God in the Beast God Abyss, so they can't retreat any further. They must stay here, hold off these monsters, and buy time for the Beast God.

After hearing Bai Sang's words, Long Qing remained silent for a moment before immediately agreeing to her arrangement.

They can die; all Miao people warriors can perish in battle.

But the Beast God absolutely cannot be harmed.

Because the Beast God is the hope of the entire Southern Border, as long as the Beast God exists, the Miao people still have hope.

On the village walls, Miao people warriors fought a bloody battle, cutting down a monster that had climbed up.

Even though he was exhausted and his blade was dull, he still gritted his teeth and swung his sword, refusing to retreat even a step.

Because behind them are their families, the last home of the Miao people, and the only remaining spark in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

The silver knife and bamboo spear were stained with black, foul-smelling blood, and each slash and thrust required immense effort.

But the monsters are endless; as soon as one falls, another immediately climbs up, stepping on the corpses of its kind.

Someone was accidentally bitten on the arm by the monster's sharp teeth, and the flesh instantly turned black and rotted. His companions could only tearfully and painfully kill him to prevent him from becoming a man-eating puppet.

The silver bells beside the stilted house jingled loudly in the strong wind, but their clear sounds were no match for the roars of the monsters outside the wall.

The chief of the White Miao Great Miao Chief stood on the highest Viewing Platform at the head of the village, dressed in white Miao clothing. He gazed down at the endless army of monsters below, his face grave.

"What exactly are these monsters? Old man Bai, do you know?"

Long Qing gripped a massive Miao Saber, his entire body soaked in filthy blood. These monsters were difficult to kill; only by severing their heads could they be completely eliminated.

Bai Sang replied, "If I'm not mistaken, this is Parasitic Gu. They spread through liquids, parasitize the human brain, and control the body and consciousness, turning people into these inhuman, ghostly living dead."

"Parasitic Gu? Never heard of it."

Long Qing asked, his face full of doubt.

Bai Sang explained, "This is a High Antiquity Gu worm, long extinct. I only saw a few records of it in the ancient books and fragments passed down through generations in Bai'er Stockade."

"If they've already become extinct, why are they reappearing, and why are there so many of them?" Long Qing asked, puzzled.

After a moment of silence, Bai Sang said, "Legend has it that the Parasitic Gu are the retinue of the Demon God. Their appearance can only mean one thing: the Demon God is about to be born."

"Demon God? The Demon God who was supposedly suppressed by the Beast God and buried in the Beast God Abyss?" Long Qing exclaimed in shock.

Bai Sang nodded, his face grave, and said, "It must be that someone planted Parasitic Gu eggs in the waters of Black Li Stockade, and through a sacrificial ritual, allowed the Demon God to be born using the blood and flesh of tens of thousands of people, which led to this catastrophe."

"Moreover, according to ancient texts, the more creatures infected and parasitized by the Parasitic Gu, the stronger the Demon God becomes."

Long Qing said anxiously, "Doesn't that mean Beast God is in danger?"

Bai Sang said, "The Beast God is Divine Ability. Since he was able to suppress the Demon God a thousand years ago, he can certainly do it this time as well. What we need to do is to keep these monsters parasitized by the Parasitic Gu here and absolutely not let them set foot in the Beast God Abyss."

As a member of the Divine Attendant Corps, Bai Sang has absolute confidence in the Beast God.

Upon hearing this, Long Qing nodded, a resolute expression appearing on his determined face.

"Don't worry, old man Bai. With the warriors of Green Miao here, these monsters won't get away with it."

But no sooner had he finished speaking than his son Long Yan's shouts came from not far away.

"Father, the gates of Bai'er Stockade won't hold for much longer."

The monster horde had begun charging against the wooden and stone walls of the stockade, the dull thuds striking everyone's hearts.

At the base of the wall, monsters piled up their bluish-gray bodies, trying to climb up.

Meanwhile, in the distant, rolling mountains, new monsters continue to gather towards Bai'er Stockade, drawn by the presence of living beings.

"Son, hang in there, your father is coming."

With a furious roar, Long Qing dragged his massive Miao Saber and rushed to the rescue.

"Brave warriors of the Green Miao, follow me and slay these monsters!"

With the Great Miao Chief taking the lead, the Green Miao warriors immediately followed closely behind, their morale soaring. They not only drove the climbing monsters down but also once again held back the village gate that was about to be breached.

Rumble--

Suddenly, the earth shook violently.

An ominous aura, filled with evil, resentment, and eeriness, swept out from the depths of the dense forest.

As if summoned,

Those bloodthirsty and ferocious monsters instantly became extremely agitated, and then, as if driven mad, transformed into a raging torrent, launching an even more ferocious attack on Bai'er Stockade.

"The Demon God have been unleashed; we must stop them!"

Upon seeing the strange phenomenon coming from the direction of the Beast God Abyss, Bai Sang, who was standing on the Viewing Platform, immediately narrowed his eyes and shouted loudly to Long Qing, who had not yet had time to breathe a sigh of relief.
