Chapter 647 Blood plague
The blood mist divided the city like a thick curtain, and chaos spread everywhere in the city.
The fox-faced scholar on stilts lit up the house with a shrill smile, and the smiling golden Buddha buried corpses one by one in the lotus platform under the seat. The swollen victim is injected with bug eggs.
Ordinary people hide in wardrobes, woodsheds, and cellars, listening to the sound of chewing, screaming, and wailing from across the street or even from the house next door, and dare not breathe out.
East of the city, orphanage, underground ice room for storing ice.
"The imperial court will come to save us, and it will, just hold on for a while."
Erniang Xia was holding the two children in her arms, murmuring so softly that even she herself couldn't hear them clearly.
When the disaster happened, the orphanage was about to turn off the lights, but suddenly it was shrouded in blood mist. Horrible beast-headed monsters rushed into the courtyard and slaughtered wantonly.
Erniang Xia took a group of children and hid in the ice room, and escaped unharmed.
It's just that the ice room is cold, and the children in thin coats can't stand it. She just held two of them in her arms and stacked them all over her body, relying on her body temperature to resist the pervasive chill.
Click, click.
Slightly sticky footsteps sounded above the head, as if stepping through a thick pool of blood, and finally stopped above the ice room.
Yes, is it a monster?
Erniang Xia trembled all over, slowly pulled her arm out of the child's embrace, stood up leaning against the wall, groped against the wall, and found the iron crowbar for loading and unloading ice.
Holding a crowbar, she stood in front of the wooden door leading to the ground, listening in horror as the chain outside the door was removed.
Squeak.
The moment the door opened, she slammed the crowbar forward, but the iron rod was caught in mid-air by the long knife.
The person holding the knife is a young officer wearing the costume of Zhenfusi, followed by a group of soldiers with lanterns tied around their waists and wearing strong and sharp clothes.
By the light of the lantern, Xia Erniang also recognized that the officer was her husband Yu Wenyuan.
The reunion of husband and wife should have been joyful, but Yu Wenyuan's expression quickly fell from ecstasy to sadness. The soldiers behind him were also shocked.
"Husband, what's the matter?"
The words Xia Erniang thought of in her mind turned into a sharp snake hiss when she uttered them from her mouth.
She looked at herself belatedly, her upper body was normal, but her lower body swelled and stretched rapidly, growing yellow scales, like a boa snake.
The tail of the snake submerged deep in the ice chamber and huddled together to resist the low temperature.
A section of the child's hands and feet protruded from the gap in the snake's tail, connecting to the corpse that had been strangled for a long time.
what did I do?
Fear and regret welled up in her heart, Xia Erniang turned her head to look at her husband, and the infinite words in her heart turned into a snake hissing. The original oval human face, under the violent mood swings and chaotic thoughts, also gave birth to brown and yellow snake scales.
"Captain Yuwen, let me come."
Pei Jing with a heavy face stepped forward, patted Yu Wenyuan on the shoulder, and drew out the Canghai Sword at her waist.
"no!"
Yu Wenyuan stood sideways in front of his wife and said with a pale face: "There will be a way, she hasn't completely transformed into a demon yet."
Before he finished speaking, he felt severe pain in the back of his neck.
Whoosh—
The sharp arrow pierced through the air and penetrated between Xia Erniang's eyebrows, causing her snakelike head to fly back high and smash into the solid ice of the ice room shelf.
"It's not a demon change,"
Several figures came out of the darkness, their iconic black hats proclaiming their identity as the supervisory department. One of them took off his hat, revealing the face of the school's physical education teacher, "It's a bloodbath demon epidemic."
Blood bath demon plague?
Hearing this uncommon and obscure word, everyone in the Zhenfu Division was puzzled, while Pei Jing frowned.
He knows that the demonic plague refers to the phenomenon that ordinary people not only do not die, but are assimilated by demons under the influence of long-term and high-concentration demonic energy. Common in Shiwan barren hills.
The current surrounding environment is not full of magic energy, far from enough to cause such a large-scale infection. Not to mention driving the demon to move freely.
Unless the key is the word "blood bath" in front.
The situation was urgent, Ren Jiao didn't look at Yu Wenyuan who was kneeling on the ground, and asked Pei Jing in a deep voice: "Are the others scattered in various cities?"
"yes."
Pei Jing nodded. Before the disaster happened, there were many soldiers from the Zhenfu Division patrolling around Chang'an City. After the blood mist fell, people from all walks of life were in the jurisdiction to contend with the monsters.
As for Pei Jing, his family's defense force is not weak. After discovering that the monsters in the city did not deliberately launch a siege against the dignitaries, but killed innocent people indiscriminately, he left most of the guards and took a small group of people to leave Pei's mansion. , and join forces with the Zhenfu Division to wipe out the nearby demons.
"We met other people along the way, or went to Dali Temple to investigate the source, or went to Daming Palace to protect the prince. By the way, how is the academy?"
Pei Jing added. There are not only Zhenfusi in the city, there are many aristocratic families like the Pei Mansion, not only the clansmen who set foot on the practice, but also the guards, bodyguards, and priests hired from outside.
All kinds of additions can somewhat limit the damage caused by the plague.
However, after listening to Pei Jing's words, there was no joy on Ren Jiao's face, only dignified, "The academy is fine for the time being. How much energy do you have left? Follow me to block the imperial city, or it will be too late."
Ren Jiao ran towards the imperial city with a few people from the supervisory department, Pei Jing hurriedly pressed his sword to follow, and asked, "What's going on? What is the **** plague?"
"Spiritual power will not be generated out of thin air, and ordinary people will not suddenly become big monsters no matter how much they are cultivated. The blood mist originating from Dali Temple is the source of power for monsters."
Ren Jiao said in a loud voice: "If I guess correctly, those who went to investigate the source of the blood mist may have become bait at this moment."

step.
Li Ang stopped in front of the Shunyi Gate on the west side of the imperial city. The arrow slot of the glowing crossbow in his hand is equipped with a light symbol, which emits light like a lantern, illuminating the surroundings.
The strong city gate that could withstand the impact of the train was destroyed in the previous explosion, and the Jinwu Guard, who was supposed to guard the imperial city, has disappeared.
Only the unmanned ballistas above the city wall were left, quietly pointing obliquely at the ground.
A strong ominous feeling emanates from the breach in the city gate, and the strong **** smell can be clearly smelled even a street away.
'something is wrong'
Li Ang narrowed his eyes slightly. Based on his understanding of the operating system of the Yu Kingdom, after a disaster, whether it is the imperial palace enshrined, the Zhenfusi, or the school monks scattered in the city, they will spontaneously go to the imperial city immediately. Investigate the cause of the disaster.
But at this moment, the Shunyi city gate next to Dali Temple is dead silent, and no sound of fighting can be heard
Thinking again and again, he removed the light talisman, extinguished the light, sprinted a little, and jumped onto the city wall.
Then, he saw, the world of flesh and blood.
