Becoming an Immortal from the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 190
Shocked, You Mingxuan couldn't help but Fang Qian asked: "Master Epidemic Envoy, what should we do now?"

Even though he is the helmsman of the Pengcheng Xingmohai sub-rudder and in charge of great power, You Mingxuan is still just an ordinary warrior. He has nothing to do in the face of such a terrifying monster.

Following You Mingxuan's question, everyone's eyes were on Fang Qian.

Fang Qian looked at the group of people who wanted to gain hope from him, sighed in his heart, and said dejectedly, "Abandon the city!"

With his huge body alone, this flame giant was able to cause serious disasters in Pengcheng, and no one could stop it.

Coupled with the fact that this evil creature is covered in flames, it is not impossible to burn the city.

If it is not decisive at this time, it can only cause more serious casualties.Not only can the tall city walls not stop the huge monster from flying, but it will only become a prison for the people in the city.

As soon as these words came out, the people on the top of the city suddenly burst into an uproar.

The county lieutenant reacted first, ran up the tower in a hurry, and sounded the alarm.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of the alarm bell hit everyone's hearts every time, and Pengcheng suddenly became chaotic.

Countless people woke up from their sleep, put on their clothes and took to the streets, looking in horror at the flaming red light from the top of the city.

The county magistrate's eyes were full of sadness: "Is it really going to come to this point?"

Everyone looked at the flame monster in the night sky and gritted their teeth, but they were all filled with a sense of powerless frustration.

I thought it was just a plague caused by evil spirits, at least it could be resolved with the exorcist, but who would have thought that such a flame monster would appear again.

Those present were all powerful people in Pengcheng, but they were powerless to fight against such a giant evil.

You Mingxuan cast a bitter glance at the flame monster that was getting closer, and said, "I'm going to order the helpers to prevent the people from escaping. I also ask the county magistrate to order to open the four city gates so that the people can escape. I Proposal, immediately let all the people flee to Lingcheng!"

Elder Shangguan Shu also said: "I ordered people to prepare living flesh and blood to see if they can lure that flame monster away temporarily."

The elder Tang Kun immediately suggested: "I will take people to the city gate to maintain order, and let the people flee without any clothes. Anyone who blocks the city gate will be killed!"

Only the county magistrate whispered: "The flame monster is coming soon, can we not concentrate at the top of the city. If everyone is taken over by one pot, Pengcheng will lose its leader, and the chaos will be even worse?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's proposals stopped abruptly, and their eyes turned to Fang Qian.

The danger is undoubtedly approaching quickly, and Fang Qian has to make the decision at this time.

Fang Qian looked at the crowd, he gritted his teeth, suppressed the idea of ​​fleeing first, and then took a step forward to speak.

At this time, the people in the city suddenly burst into terrified cries. It turned out that the flame monster had already flown above Pengcheng.

Suddenly someone shouted from the top of the city: "Look quickly! That monster is heading towards the group of strange birds!"

Everyone hurriedly raised their heads, only to see that the flame monster was not immediately attracted by the living people in Pengcheng, but flew towards the flock of birds hovering over the city.

Immediately afterwards, the monster crashed headlong into the flock of birds like a dark cloud, causing those strange birds to scream in panic.

Sharp screams erupted densely from the sky, and the living people below the vibration only felt that their ears and minds were filled with the screams of strange birds.

However, what happened next left everyone in the city dumbfounded.

The flame monster in the sky opened its huge mouth gushing out fierce flames, devouring those strange birds continuously. When the heat flow of flames around them fanned, countless strange birds were swept away by the wind and fire and burned to death.

Fang Qian looked at this scene, and doubts arose in his heart: "What is it doing? Leaving the flesh and blood of a large number of living people in the city alone, but slaughtering plague ghosts"

The flame giant hovered rapidly in the sky, and he kept killing the group of strange birds that lingered.

The chaotic strange birds were frightened and kept being dispersed, but soon regrouped. The temptation of the living people in Pengcheng made them unwilling to leave without high intelligence.

As a result, it was burned to death by the flame monster that quickly turned back, and the efficiency was greatly improved.

Although the strange birds tried fiercely to fight back, they were too weak to get close to the flame monster before being burned to ashes.The situation has become one-sided massacre.

The dark cloud formed by the strange birds above Pengcheng was also being torn apart bit by bit by the flame monster.

Everyone at the top of the city stared at all this with dumbstruck eyes. This kind of battle is completely beyond their ability to intervene.

The night wind howled, and everyone's hair and beards were flying in the wind. No one spoke, and everyone just looked up quietly until their necks became sore.

Time passed little by little, but the flame evil spirit was still killing the strange bird, and had no intention of landing in Pengcheng at all.

There were fewer and fewer strange birds, and it was no longer possible to gather in groups. Only the team was still circling Pengcheng to avoid the flame monsters.

The county magistrate suddenly asked: "If those black strange birds are killed by the flame monster, does it mean that the plague in Pengcheng will not happen?"

Fang Qian, the plague exorcist, replied: "It's not that simple. The seeds of the plague have already been scattered by these plague ghosts. It is inevitable. But if all the plague ghosts are killed by the flame monster, then the scale and severity of the plague will be greatly reduced." Much lower."

You Mingxuan asked at this time: "The flame monster, could it be that it came to help us in Pengcheng?"

However, after finishing this sentence, You Mingxuan also secretly scolded himself for being an idiot, there would be no reason for evil spirits to help living people.

Sure enough, everyone chose to ignore this sentence.

The county magistrate asked again: "Sir, the exorcist, should we continue to evacuate?"

The flame monster and the black strange bird were just above Pengcheng, and it would be too dangerous if they didn't evacuate.But if you choose to evacuate rashly, then the matter will be serious. It is not a child's play for a city's population to flee.

Besides, Lingcheng is the closest city to Pengcheng. It is only a small city, so how can it accommodate so many people.

Both strange birds and monsters can fly, no matter how fast ordinary people can escape, how can they outrun them.

Fang Qian thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "What time is it?"

The county magistrate hastily replied: "It's almost Mao time, I understand what your lord means! It won't be long before dawn!"

Fang Qian nodded: "No matter how strong the flame monster is, it can't resist the sun. It is now attracted by the plague ghost, and it can't take care of the people in the city for the time being. After a while, it will have to leave Pengcheng and go to a hidden place to avoid the sun. "

When everyone heard this, their hearts settled down a little.

But the county magistrate continued to ask: "But... even if we pass tonight, if the flames go away and come back tomorrow night, how can Pengcheng be preserved?"

Then everyone fell silent again, which is also a very likely problem.

At this moment, scorching air waves suddenly hit from the top of the head, and the sound of flapping wings was deafening.

Everyone could smell the burnt smell of their own eyebrows and hair.

They looked up in horror, only to see that the strange birds had almost been hunted down by the flame monster, and the flame monster was slowly descending.

The place where it landed was just in front of the city tower.

Everyone panicked, they didn't expect the strange bird to be hunted down so quickly.But at this time, the sky is not yet bright, and the flame monster has already landed, what should be done.

The county magistrate shouted in horror: "Let's go quickly! Get down the city wall!"

Everyone ran in panic, heading for the stone steps away from the city wall.

"Bang!!!"

The flame monster suddenly landed on the ground, the top of the city trembled violently, and people couldn't stand still and fell down one after another.

Only Fang Qian stood firmly on his feet like nails, staring at the huge monster that had landed in front of the city wall.

The flames flew chaotically, illuminating the surrounding city walls brightly.

The scorching high temperature caused the dry city tower to burn, and the flames became more and more intense in the night wind. The three-story city tower seemed to be a tall torch in this night.

The beams and pillars of the house crackled in the flames, and the blue tiles on the eaves burst.

The people remaining on the city wall screamed and fled down the stone steps, away from the city wall.

Only Fang Qian, the exorcist, was still standing there. He knew that it was too late to escape, so he gritted his teeth and stared at the huge and hideous head: "What do you want to do?"

The flame monster's eyes noticed him, and only heard a "hoo!", bright red flames spewed out from the head completely composed of flames.

Fang Qian couldn't help taking a step back, cold sweat dripping from his temples.

His heart was beating wildly. Could it be that this flame monster is finally about to make a move?

However, the flame monster just glanced at him, then turned around and flew up again.

It first swooped over the mass graves in the western suburbs of Pengcheng and stopped for a while, then scooped up something on the ground. It seemed to pick up something in the flying mud, and then flew towards the plague ghosts gathered in the sky above a village in the distance.

The flame giant flew farther and farther, and soon a bright red flame appeared in the sky.

"Boom!!!"

The city tower collapsed in the raging fire, and sparks flew everywhere.

Fang Qian just woke up like a dream. He hurriedly avoided the broken wall of the tower, and then kept shooting out the flames on his body.

In the end, he looked into the distance in shock, and the flame monster had rushed into another place where the plague ghosts gathered, and quickly drove away the plague ghosts there.

"Pengcheng is so dangerous." Fang Qian stood solemnly on the city wall, "I have to ask for help from above! But in such a city, would the superiors be willing to line up experts?"

The long night finally passed, and as the sun rose, the strange birds hovering above the gathering place of living people turned into fly ash one after another under the sunlight, and everything in the world became brighter.

Qingniu Village is a day's journey away from Pengcheng. Pedestrian caravans often stay here for one night before continuing on their way to or away from Pengcheng.

This was originally a prosperous and peaceful village, but today it exudes this rotten atmosphere.

There were strange birds entrenched in the sky above the village last night, and then a flame giant appeared to hunt and kill the strange birds.

After the villagers spent a night of panic, they found that many people were sick.

First there was a cough and fever, followed by round nodules and lumps without warning on the armpits, corners of the mouth, back or inside the legs. A foul-smelling yellow pus.

The most frightening thing is that these festering places are so itchy that people can't help scratching with their hands. The more they scratch, the more itchy, and even at the back, people can no longer control themselves. Relieves itching.

This kind of strange disease seems to only affect people, but other poultry and livestock are safe and sound.

Although the sun has risen, no one in the village can go to work in the fields. The villagers are crying and groaning in pain all over the village.

Zhang Yuqing originally planned to enter the village to find a fast horse and return to Pengcheng, but he encountered such a miserable scene.

He kept hunting those strange birds last night, going further and further away, so that when he was about to return, he realized that it was almost dawn.

In order to avoid being discovered of his whereabouts, Zhang Yuqing took advantage of the night to land in the forest far from the village, and only walked out this morning.

After Zhang Yuqing saw the tragic situation in the village, he couldn't help frowning.

But Princess Youyue, who was following him and covered in black robes, said: "Don't worry, this plague is caused by evil spirits, and it can only be contagious after nightfall. And even poisonous feathers can't do anything to you, this plague It's even more useless to you."

Zhang Yuqing nodded and walked slowly into the village.

He came to a weak villager lying on the side of the road, put his hands on his body, and carefully felt the situation in his body.

Soon he noticed the evil spirit in the villagers' bodies, and to his surprise, this evil spirit entered and covered the villagers' bodies like spider webs.

Although the evil spirit is weak, it is pervasive and takes root everywhere in the villagers.

This situation is completely different from the situation where Zhang Yuqing once introduced the evil spirit into the bodies of the four children.

At the beginning, Zhang Yuqing's evil spirit was in the four children's bodies, swimming and shuttling through their bodies like earthworms, absorbing the life essence of the human body.

But this time, the demonic attribute encountered was even more domineering. Although it was only a faint trace of demonic energy, it stretched out countless tentacles in all directions and firmly implanted them in the villagers' bodies.

Zhang Yuqing could even feel that as long as he pulled out the evil spirit from the villagers, the villagers would surely die due to the damage of their whole body vitality.

After the inspection, the villagers still looked weak and listless.

A voice came from behind Princess Youyue's black veil: "Don't look at them in the daytime, after nightfall, they will be alive and well one by one. But that's just the appearance, and the disease will attack them more severely at night. It is estimated that half Humans cannot survive three nights. Within seven nights, all those who catch the disease will die."

"Is there any way to get rid of the plague?"

Princess Youyue replied: "Perhaps King Yi's subordinates, that is, those evil spirits who released the plague, have a way. But it is impossible to learn from them."

Zhang Yuqing frowned. This situation is really serious. I don't know if the plague exorcist can do anything about it.
