"Son-in-law, we are in trouble!"
On this day, Ye Xiangming suddenly summoned Wang Chen, who was resting at home, to the county government office with a serious look on his face.
It turns out that just last month, the martial arts strongmen sent by Fucheng and the masters of Imperial Court Divine Prohibition Bureau jointly encircled and suppressed Drought Fiend. As a result, they once again lost their troops and returned home defeated.
This Drought Fiend has been raging in Changyi Prefecture for more than a year. It is the main culprit of the drought, leaving countless people displaced and becoming disaster victims.
Imperial Court and Fucheng conducted several sieges, but in the end they failed to capture this cunning and powerful Drought Fiend.
On the contrary, many masters and strong men were lost.
Originally, this failure had nothing to do with Qing'an County, but Ye Xiangming obtained accurate information. Baiyun Temple's mages used special means during the encirclement and suppression process to drive Drought Fiend in the direction of Qing'an County.
If you can't kill him, just chase him away, and you will use a poisonous trick to divert trouble to the east!
The reason is closely related to the killing of the patrol envoy sent by Fucheng to Qing'an County.
In the year of the great disaster, the royal power did not extend to the counties and villages, and the prefecture and city actually had nothing to do with Qing'an County. After all, Ye Xiangming's method of taking advantage of large households was a normal method in other counties.
But the men in Fucheng couldn't easily swallow this bad breath. It was completely reasonable to take advantage of the opportunity to encircle and suppress Drought Fiend and throw this huge trouble to Qing'an County.
"What do you think we should do?"
He was so anxious that Tuan Tuan was spinning, and he was visibly panicked.
It's not that the county magistrate is timid, but Drought Fiend is undoubtedly a natural disaster-level monster to people in the mortal world.
Imperial Court, Baiyun Temple plus the power of Fucheng, together they are helpless.
How can the little Qing'an County resist?
Once Drought Fiend enters the realm of Qing'an County, the current situation that Qing'an County has managed to maintain will inevitably fall apart.
At that time, the underground water supply will be cut off, and hundreds of thousands of people will not be able to drink from wells. It would be weird not to cause chaos!
Ye Xiangming The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and he was completely confused. "How about we move our family to Yunze Prefecture."
It's not too late to escape now.
Wang Chen said calmly, "Leave it to me to deal with this Drought Fiend."
"What?"
Ye Xiangming suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. "You said you would deal with it?"
He shook his head subconsciously. "No, it won't work. You can't deal with Drought Fiend. This is asking for death!"
Although Wang Chen is very powerful, Drought Fiend is a legendary monster, a demon that only cultivators can conquer!
How can a mortal body resist a powerful demon?
"Got to try."
Wang Chen was unmoved. "Father-in-law, our foundation is in Qing'an County. There is no future in moving to Yunze Prefecture unless there is no other way."
Ye Xiangming couldn't persuade Wang Chen and couldn't help but swallowed, "Then how many people are you going to bring to encircle and suppress them?"
His eyes lit up. "There's no need to kill him, as long as he can drive Drought Fiend back."
Wang Chen smiled and said, "I am enough alone."
To deal with a vicious creature like Drought Fiend, large numbers of people are of no use, but will become a burden.
"Father-in-law, please help me take good care of Dai'er. Don't tell her the truth yet. Wait until I come back."
Seeing that Wang Chen's will was so firm, Ye Xiangming had no choice but to say, "Well, you must be careful. Don't force yourself when the situation is overwhelming. Safety is the top priority!"
Wang Chen nodded. "I understand."
Because the situation was urgent, he didn't waste too much time. He immediately took the longbow Mo Dao and other weapons, and then left in a hurry Qing'an County riding a horse.
Go north to stop Drought Fiend!
He went alone and quickly ran out of Qing'an County territory.
As soon as Qing'an County and Wang Chen appear, you can feel how bad the current situation of Changyi Prefecture is.
Due to a severe drought throughout the year, the earth was cracked, the rivers dried up, and the ponds and pools completely disappeared. As far as the eye could see, there was a yellow and decayed scene, with not much green left.
Mummy skeletons can be seen lying on the ground everywhere on both sides of the road. Under the scorching sun, many victims died of thirst and starvation on the way to escape. The scene was extremely tragic.
It is said that some counties have already seen people exchange their children for food!
Wang Chen flew all the way, but did not see any human habitation. The former countryside had been reduced to ruins.
Although the area of Changyi Prefecture is vast, it is not very difficult to find Drought Fiend.
Because where this kind of natural disaster demon appears, the red land is thousands of miles high and the temperature is suffocating, and it is also accompanied by all kinds of strange phenomena.
So Wang Chen only traveled two days before he found traces of Drought Fiend.
The information obtained by Ye Xiangming was not wrong. This powerful demon was indeed coming towards Qing'an County.
But Wang Chen hadn't seen Drought Fiend yet, and first met a team on the road.
This team is quite strange, consisting of seven riders. The leader is a Daoist priest wearing a green robe and Daoist Crown on his head. The other six Knight are all elite, tough and fully armed.
Knight, who was at the back, used a gourd to throw some kind of liquid as he hurried on.
When he saw Wang Chen coming towards him, the middle-aged Daoist priest immediately slowed down and narrowed his eyes as if thinking about something.
"Boundless Heavenly Venerate!"
He took the lead in saluting the head of Wang Chen and asked, "May I ask a good believer, where do you want to go?"
Wang Chen reined in his mount and said with a smile, "Changyi Prefecture City."
"Then this road is blocked."
The middle-aged Daoist priest said, "I am Baiyun Temple Zhang Daozi. I advise believers to turn back quickly and don't waste your life."
Baiyun Temple!
Wang Chen sneered, "If I read it correctly, you are leading Drought Fiend to Qing'an County, right?"
Although he didn't know what method the other party used, the actions of this group of people were too obvious.
"Drought Fiend" came out two times, and Zhang Daozi and six Knight changed their expressions at the same time.
The Baiyun Temple Daoist priest immediately raised his hand to put on the talisman, and shouted sternly at Wang Chen from a distance, "Jiu!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his palm Talismans suddenly turned into a burning fireball, shooting towards Wang Chen like an arrow from a string.
The distance between the two sides was only a dozen steps, and the fireball shot in front of Wang Chen in a matter of breaths.
boom!
Before the fireball could reach it, Wang Chen pulled out his sword and slashed it into the air, causing countless fire points to fly in all directions.
"Kill!"
Six Knight immediately flanked Wang Chen from the left and right. They all drew out their swords and cooperated with each other in perfect harmony.
And Zhang Daozi took out the second Talismans.
However, how could Wang Chen give them a chance to calmly attack? He immediately grabbed the left and right sides of the saddle with both hands, tore open the bag and grabbed the long handle and blade, and assembled Mo Dao in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, he jumped up from his horse and rushed towards Zhang Daozi in the air.
The Mo Dao in his hand brought out an unparalleled stream of light and struck down on the middle-aged Daoist priest's head!
Zhang Daozi was horrified and hurriedly raised his palm to flash the talisman. "Protect..."
As a result, as soon as the Talismans in his hand lit up, it was split in half by Wang Chen's Mo Dao! ——
The second update is sent.
