Chapter 38: [Beast] [Demon] [Devil]
"Captain Chu, Captain Chu, something terrible has happened, something terrible has happened!"
Yancheng, Resurrection Pond.
He Ao, who had just been resurrected, contributed a lot of emotional value to Chu Zhongxing. At this moment, he was too lazy to even put on clothes. He ran to Chu Zhongxing in one breath, and the fear on his face had not yet dissipated.
"kindness?"
Seeing He Ao running towards him, Chu Zhongxing couldn't help but frown. He quickly took off his coat, threw it to He Ao, and scolded him, "How can you be naked in front of everyone?"
"There is a monster with a human face and a fish body over there in Juting. This monster is very fast. As soon as I saw it, it bit me to death."
monster?
Human face, fish body?
Although Chu Zhongxing was surprised in his heart, he showed a look of contempt on his face: "Don't be surprised, Yancheng is located in the northern border, it is normal for demons to appear in the wild."
"Go do other tasks first. Wait until the Zhenbei Army clears out the demons, then do the gathering tasks!"
Chu Zhongxing waved his hand and asked He Ao to do other tasks. Zheng Sanshui, who was about to finish the novice guidance task with Chu Zhongxing, looked at He Ao's embarrassment and said in confusion: "Brother Ao, isn't it normal to encounter monsters in the wild? Why do you look so ignorant?"
"If we don't encounter wild monsters, how can we defeat them and level up?"
"Damn, it's not that I haven't seen the world before, it's just that the monster is too scary."
"A fish with a human face came out of the water and hit me in the face. Tell me, is that scary?"
After recovering from his shock, He Ao immediately felt ashamed for making a fuss just now. However, the scene of the monster's attack was indeed too scary, mainly because the monster looked scary.
"Welcome the four warriors to help Yancheng. I have some work to do and would like to ask the four warriors for help."
Chu Zhongxing interrupted the casual chat between several players. He first issued daily tasks to four players, asking them to contribute to the construction of Yancheng, while he himself came to the General's Mansion.
"Lao Guo!"
Chu Zhongxing, who had been in Yancheng for half a month, was no longer so polite to Guo Xiaoding. He called Lao Guo as soon as he entered the door and explained his purpose: "Lao Guo, what kind of monster is this with a human face and a fish body?"
Chu Zhongxing had only encountered an old wolf since he traveled here in his physical body. He had never seen a monster with a human face and a fish body living in the courtyard.
"A human face and a fish body? Can the voice be like a mandarin duck?"
"In Juting Oasis, I asked my subordinate to go to Juting to collect the materials. He was attacked and killed by a demon with a human face and a fish body in Juting Oasis."
"Juting Oasis? That shouldn't be the case. Although Juting Oasis has been polluted by barbarians, it was where our Zhenbei Army camped before. How could there be a red carp there?"
"Red carp?"
"It has a human face and a fish body. It's most likely a red carp."
Knowing that Chu Zhongxing had no common sense, Guo Xiaoding took the initiative to explain: "Red carp is a kind of monster, usually found in areas with abundant water sources. There are many red carps in Yingshui of Di Shang, but I have never seen a red carp in the northern border."
"The red carp is a monster with a human face and a fish body. It sounds like a mandarin duck and eats people. It is very aggressive. Not only is it good at biting with its teeth, but it also has the ability to control water in its bloodline. It is invincible unless you are a cultivator."
"Monster? Water-controlling magical power?"
Chu Zhongxing asked quickly: "Old Guo, half a month ago, you said that I was not a demon. What is the difference between demons and monsters?"
Guo Xiaoding sat up straight after hearing this: "In the Imperial Shang Dynasty, there are four races: humans, beasts, demons, and monsters."
“Among them, beasts are only wild. For example, the old wolf you met before is a kind of beast.
The animals that our Zhenbei Army hunts in the hunting grounds are also beasts.
The cattle, sheep, pigs, etc. raised by the Shang Dynasty were all beasts. "
“And the monster has a ferocious appearance, and has inherited magical powers.
Monsters are extremely aggressive and incredibly powerful, and most importantly, every monster has inherited a magical power from its bloodline. Ordinary humans have no way to resist monsters.
If you had met a monster before, you would have become its food long ago." "And the biggest difference between monsters and beasts is intelligence."
Guo Xiaoding said in a leisurely voice: "Beasts eat humans to fill their stomachs, and monsters eat humans to enlighten their minds.
Monsters eat humans, and more importantly, they eat human brains. If a monster eats a large number of humans, it can not only absorb human wisdom and possess human thinking, but all powerful monsters can even simulate human transformation and live in the human world. "
???
So outrageous?
No wonder Guo Xiaoding wanted to check whether there was any demonic aura on himself in Yancheng that day.
As if seeing the surprise in Chu Zhongxing's eyes, Guo Xiaoding smiled and said, "Don't worry, humans have seven emotions and six desires, and monsters with human thinking also have seven emotions and six desires.
In the Imperial Shang Dynasty, there are many stories about fox spirits and scholars taking exams. It is very common for spirits to assume human form and fall in love with humans.
"Some high-ranking officials in the imperial business community even secretly raised fox demon girls, cat demon girls, and the like as their own private concubines."
"In addition to the fox demon lady, the Imperial Shang Dynasty also has other demons, such as the Central Imperial Guard's Futu Di Zheng, whose mount Di Zheng is a demon."
“Our Imperial Shang Dynasty has an open and positive atmosphere, and humans and beasts, humans and demons can all coexist peacefully.
Of course, this premise is human-led! "
"Oh wow, our Imperial Shang Dynasty is so cheerful?"
"so"
Chu Zhongxing's eyes lit up. It turned out that there were like-minded people in the Imperial Shang Dynasty.
"Beasts and demons can coexist peacefully with our Imperial Shang Dynasty, but demons cannot!"
"What is a demon? The demon clan? The demon sect?"
Speaking of demons, the demons in martial arts novels instantly appeared in Chu Zhongxing's mind.
"A person, beast or demon contaminated by the ominousness of the North Sea!"
Speaking of demons, Guo Xiaoding's face was solemn: "Whether it is our Imperial Shang Dynasty, or barbarians, or even beasts and monsters, we can all communicate.
Although our Imperial Shang Dynasty was constantly fighting with the barbarians, there were also times of communication and exchanges.
But the devil is different."
"The demons have been contaminated by the ominousness of the North Sea. Not only do they look hideous and disgusting, they also carry various diseases.
Wherever the demon goes, not only will humans and animals die, but also thousands of miles of dry bones will be left. The land will also be polluted, and the food produced by the land will be completely unusable. If humans or animals accidentally eat it, they will be ulcerated and die within ten days. "
Guo Xiaoding said this and took a deep breath: "If it is just like this, it is not bad. As long as we encounter the devil, we can kill it and find farmers and doctors to purify the land."
"But the ominousness of the North Sea is lurking."
"After being contaminated by the ominousness of the North Sea, the ominousness will lurk in the body and will not occur immediately."
"Eighty-three years ago, the Grand Master of our Imperial Shang Dynasty led hundreds of thousands of troops to the North Sea to suppress the ominous forces. I don't know what the situation is like now."
Guo Xiaoding suddenly smiled bitterly: "There has been no news about the Imperial Shang Dynasty for eighty-three years. I think there must be something wrong with the Imperial Shang Dynasty."
It’s not like Guo Xiaoding hadn’t thought about this situation before, but he didn’t dare to think about it before.
The only motivation for them to defend Yancheng is their firm belief that reinforcements from the Imperial Shang Dynasty will come to support them.
