Yangping Town.

Chaotic beastly roars continued to sound.

At this time, Yangping Town was in ruins. The originally prosperous town had turned into ruins, and no trace of its original prosperity could be seen anymore.

Wild beasts are constantly moving among the ruins, tearing at the broken corpses scattered on the ground.

More and more black fog gathered in the sky, almost covering the entire Yangping Town.

As a distant and weird dull roar sounded from the black mist, the black mist in the sky turned into countless Black Little Snake and sank into the bodies of countless Strange Beast on the ground.

At the same time, all Strange Beast also stopped moving, their dark eyes looking up at the waning moon in the sky.

Soon, wisps of blood emerged from the mouths of each Strange Beast and floated towards the sky.

Then, as if receiving an order, the Strange Beast group left the Yangping Town in a mighty manner and rushed towards the nearest town.

Among them are those tyrannical Spirit Beast.

And just when the Strange Beast group had not left Yangping Town, four riders had already arrived in the darkness in the distance.

"Myriad Phenomena Dragon Sound!!"

The armored old man at the head looked up to the sky and let out a low roar before he could get closer.

The roar was like a dragon or an elephant, with frightening pressure. The roar made the dark clouds billow in the sky, forcing the black mist lingering in the sky to retreat.

The Strange Beasts who were rushing at the front shook violently one by one, and then fell straight back like wheat seedlings blown by the strong wind.

As soon as he roared, an unknown Strange Beast fell to the ground, with streams of blood flowing out of his orifices. His internal organs were shattered by the roar and he died.

The armored old man at the head did not look at these seriously injured Strange Beast. Instead, he raised his head and stared at the thick rolling black fog in the sky. He followed the direction in which the black fog spread, and finally looked at the huge mountain wrapped in black fog in the distance.

"This Phantom Demon Beast body has not come out yet, it is probably still dormant in Yangping Mountain."

The old man's eyes flashed as if he realized something, and he spoke again.

"This Phantom Demon Beast is lurking in Yangping Mountain. It is obviously injured and has been sleeping. Now it needs a lot of blood food to wake up. We cannot let him continue to get blood food, otherwise his strength will recover quickly. It will be quite difficult to solve it by then."

"Master General, there are too many Strange Beasts in front of us, including dozens of Spirit Beasts, and there are also Phantom Demon Beasts hidden in the dark. We alone may not be able to stop them."

Behind the old man, a strong man in armor looked at the densely packed Strange Beast in front of him, his face full of solemnity.

And just as he opened his mouth to speak, a strange roar sounded from the black mist that gathered in the sky.

The next moment, huge figures were already rushing towards several people.

"You have to block it even if you can't."

Looking at these Strange Beast who seemed to have no emotion at all, the old man looked cold and snorted coldly.

At the same time, the entire body shape began to change rapidly.

The black black armor on his body tightened and stuck tightly to the skin, and the old man's figure also expanded, and the originally pale skin was stained with a layer of blood.

The mysterious armor on the body was like a living thing, being dyed by the old man's Vital Blood and quickly turned bright red like blood.

Huh...

The old man exhaled a wisp of white smoke, which instantly ignited the nearby vegetation, and his whole appearance changed drastically, no longer resembling a human being.

At this time, a lizard with a long tail appeared behind the old man, covered with scales, and suddenly turned into a half-human, half-lizard monster.

There was a bloodthirsty look in his scarlet eyes, and his whole body exuded a brutal and cold-blooded aura.

"Kill!!"

With a low shout, he had already rushed towards those powerful Spirit Beast.

The four people behind him did not hesitate. They took a deep breath, with Distortion painful expressions on their faces, and their bodies also changed at the same time.

Like the old man, he turned into a humanoid monster that was half human and half lizard, but compared to the old man, the lizard part was significantly less.

Four people also followed the old man and rushed into the Strange Beast group.

The next day, the sky brightened Tongzhi County the city.

Following the long flow of people entering the city, Lin Sheng and Da Huang finally entered the city.

At this time, his condition was obviously much better than yesterday. Although his face was still pale, the fatigue on his body had dissipated a lot. The large and small cracked wounds all over his body had already scabbed, and it was estimated that he would be completely recovered in a short time.

Such efficiency is naturally inseparable from Spirit Beast jerky. In addition, it is the powerful effect of physical fitness and Stamina Boost.

Looking at the bustling street scene of Tongzhi County city, Lin Sheng felt like he was in another world.

"It's safe for the time being here."

He felt relieved.

"I just don't know how the situation is over there at Yangping Town?"

Although he stayed in Yangping Town for only one month, he still had some acquaintances among him, such as Wang Sanyang and others.

If he has the ability, he doesn't mind lending a helping hand, but in such an environment, he can't protect himself, so how can he care about others.

"Yangping Town has a large population, and there are many experts among them. Some people should be able to escape. I believe there will be some action on Lin'an and Tongzhi County City soon. If a powerful Demon Beast like Phantom Demon Beast is involved, even Linjiang Prefecture City may be alarmed."

Thinking in his mind, he shook his head slightly and suppressed his random thoughts.

"That's all. If the sky falls, a tall man will hold it up."

Thinking about it, he soon saw groups of heavily armed soldiers on the street, rushing towards the city gate.

He didn't pay too much attention to these, and he didn't rush to find Xiao Shi and Old Zhou. Instead, he first found an inn on the street to stay.

After a brief rinse, he fell on the bed and fell asleep.

Last night's battle was the most difficult battle in his history. It not only consumed his physical strength, but also consumed his spirit.

Spirit Beast Meat can restore physical strength, but it cannot restore spirit, so as soon as he touched the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep.

I slept until dawn the next day, and then I woke up.

After greeting the waiter and ordering a sumptuous meal, he took Da Huang and left the inn.

Walking on the street, he could feel that the flow of people on the street was significantly less than when he arrived yesterday.

"Yangping Town Has the news of the incident over there been reported!?"

This thought flashed through his mind, and there was nothing strange about him. He took Da Huang all the way to the Tongming Academy.

As the resident of Dark Star organization, Yangping Town has such a big thing happening, so the old guy Yellow Dog must know a lot about it.

As soon as I entered Tongming Academy, it was still as deserted as last time, with not a single customer present.

Only Yellow Dog is hiding in the counter with his thin body. If you don't look carefully, most people may not notice that there is a big living person here.

In his hand he was holding a big book with three big characters written on the cover, "A gentleman says three words."

But judging from the obscene smile that appeared from time to time on his wrinkled face, it was obvious that it was not that simple.

"Ahem."

Lin Sheng coughed lightly.

Yellow Dog was reluctant to look away from the big book in front of him. He glanced over and glanced at Lin Sheng's figure wearing a bamboo hat. He paused for a moment and quickly smiled and said.

"This customer welcomes you to the store. I wonder what books you would like?"

Lin Sheng directly reported the secret code from the last time he came.

Then he took out his coat of arms.

After taking a quick glance, Yellow Dog touched his chin.

"Ghost Face!?"

There was a hint of surprise on the old man's face.

"You're not dead yet?"

Lin Sheng: "..."

The other party's straightforward words left him at a loss as to how to respond.

"It seems that you are smarter than those idiots before. You curbed your greed and did not practice. Three Corpses Soul Severing Palm, it's not bad."

Without waiting for Lin Sheng to reply, Yellow Dog thought he had guessed something and said playfully.

"Tsk, tsk, it's just a pity that I wasted an opportunity to choose martial arts. The organization has no example of changing martial arts, not even Blazing Star Emissary."

He seemed to have guessed the purpose of Lin Sheng's coming, and added another sentence.

Lin Sheng didn't care about this, he didn't bother to explain, he just said lightly.

"I came here this time to get some information."

"Inquire about news?"

Yellow Dog was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect the other party to say this, but he still said it quickly.

"Is it about what happened to Lin'an County?"

"Yes, I want to know what happened in Lin'an County, and what is the current situation of Yangping Town?"

Lin Sheng found a seat and said seriously.

Hearing Lin Sheng's words, Yellow Dog raised his eyebrows and looked over in surprise.

"You actually know Yangping Town. It seems that you are indeed from Lin'an County. Don't tell me that you came from Yangping Town."

Lin Sheng did not speak, but looked at the other party steadily.

Seeing this appearance, Yellow Dog already confirmed his guess, looked Lin Sheng up and down carefully again, and then said.

"Yangping Town no longer exists, and there is basically no one left alive. In addition, the instigator of all this is an extremely powerful beast."

"There are basically no survivors..."

Lin Sheng whispered softly. Although he had already expected this ending, hearing the other party say it now still felt a little heavy.

"Then what? What happened to that Phantom Demon Beast?"

"What else can Phantom Demon Beast do? It's dormant in the depths of Yangping Mountain again. This level of Demon Beast is not that easy to solve..."

Yellow Dog spoke subconsciously, but soon realized something and looked at Lin Sheng with wide eyes.

"You know Phantom Demon Beast!!?"

At this time, his heart was full of surprise, and his eyes looking at Lin Sheng also had a bit of inexplicable meaning.

"I know, can you tell me what happened in detail?" Lin Sheng nodded slightly.

"This... is naturally impossible." Yellow Dog shook his head and quickly changed the subject. "The information I just disclosed to you is already a bit excessive. If you want to know more, you have to exchange for merit points."

"For the sake of us being old friends, I only need ten points of merit..."

Before he could finish his words, Lin Sheng had already taken out a 500 denomination banknote from his arms and photographed it in front of him.

"That's all."

"This... seeing that we are so familiar with each other, let's make an exception once. It won't be an exception next time."

Yellow Dog had a look of embarrassment on his face, but he moved quickly and reached out to grab the treasure note into his arms.

"Ahem, it's better to come early than to come early. I have just collected specific information here. It turns out that the reason why there are beast tides in Yangping Mountain every few years is because there is a Phantom Demon Beast hidden in the deepest part of Yangping Mountain."

"And this Phantom Demon Beast has been sleeping before. It is probably due to some injury before. It will wake up briefly every few years. When it wakes up, the various Strange Beast and even Spirit Beast in Yangping Mountain will smell the dangerous atmosphere, so they will flee to the outside for activities."

"Unfortunately, Phantom Demon Beast's injury improved this time, and he completely woke up from his deep sleep. He took control of all Strange Beast among Yangping Mountain, and used Strange Beast to collect blood and food for him to speed up his own injury recovery. This caused this disaster."

When he said this, Yellow Dog glanced at Lin Sheng, paused before continuing.

"Fortunately, this time Prefecture City just happened to get a Demon Revealing Mirror from Imperial Capital a few days ago. I noticed something was wrong in Lin'an in advance and sent experts over in advance. Is it better to catch up before the situation becomes worse? We arrived before it was too late, drove the Phantom Demon Beast back into the depths of Yangping Mountain, and used Blood Demon Great Array to seal it. In a short time, this Phantom Demon Beast couldn't make any waves."

"Since blood food is needed to speed up the recovery of oneself, why doesn't this Phantom Demon Beast directly attack the many Strange Beasts among Yangping Mountains? Instead, it takes the risk to attack Yangping Towns."

Regarding Yellow Dog, Lin Sheng had some questions and simply raised them directly.

Huang Quan glanced at Lin Sheng, took off the cigarette pot from his waist, lit it and took a puff, and then answered unhurriedly.

"Don't you know? No matter what kind of Strange Beast, for the same kind, Flesh that prefer humans, especially Flesh that are human warriors, are irresistible delicacies to them, and devouring human Flesh will bring them more benefits."

"As for the specific benefits, I don't know, but one thing is certain. The higher the level of Strange Beast, the more eager it is for human Flesh. Of course, Phantom Demon Beast itself does not like to devour beasts. It prefers to control them than to devour Strange Beast."

Hearing this, Lin Sheng frowned slightly.

This was indeed the first time he heard this statement, and he did not think Yellow Dog would deceive him.

If this is the case, doesn't it mean that humans are naturally attracted to high-grade Strange Beast.

However, considering that humans and Strange Beast themselves have a relationship of killing and being killed, this is not the case for humans.

After thinking about it, he continued to ask,

"Who is the master from Prefecture City who can solve all the Spirit Beasts in Yangping Mountain?"

He knew the number of Strange Beasts in Yangping Mountain, especially those powerful Spirit Beasts. Even though Phantom Demon Beasts controlled so many powerful Strange Beasts, they were still able to suppress them. He was still quite curious about this master from Prefecture Citys.

"The person who came is Linjiang Prefecture's commander-in-chief and Prefecture City Dragon Demon Army's commander Long Zilu."
