Chapter 406: Crisis in Tianzhong

"It is not safe to go to Tianzhong City right now."

"According to the results detected by my Mechanical Bird, there are still some bird-shaped demons distributed in the sky above Tianzhong City."

"This kind of demon causes air disasters."

"They absorb the sorrow and anger of humans to control their own evolution into even more terrifying demons."

"Currently, the sky above Tianzhong City has already been surrounded by demons."

"They want to use Tianzhong City as a cage, a cage that makes all humans feel despair."

Guijinyang said coldly.

As the new generation Giant of the Mohist school, he has his own sources of intelligence.

"Actually, even if Y did not send the intelligence, this information would soon be passed to the Qilin Marshal through Mohist channels."

"The number of demons in Tianzhong City is constantly increasing."

"Besides transporting the Abyss Egg to the Haoshen Abyss, eliminating demons is also one of our tasks; everyone must not forget this."

Guijinyang's words deeply moved Ye Bai.

"Then what should we do now?"

"What kind of transport should we use to enter Tianzhong City?"

"Will those demons discover our tracks and then take proactive defensive measures?"

"I think we should first transport the Abyss Egg to the Haoshen Abyss to complete this task, and then carry out the demon elimination."

Ye Bai voiced his own thoughts.

"I think so too."

"Let's not alert the enemy for now; let's enter Tianzhong City without attracting the demons' attention."

"As for the hatched demons, we can just eliminate them directly."

"Now that the demons have started hiding among the crowd, I think quite a few people in the Tianzhong City Pet Beast Guild have likely been replaced by demons."

"So my idea is to contact no one and enter Tianzhong City directly."

"I remember that you, Guijinyang, have Mechanical Horses that can travel a thousand miles a day, right?"

"And with things like the Flying Boat, how about we take the Flying Boat to the vicinity of Tianzhong City and then use the Mechanical Horses to enter the city?"

"After all, there are still Pet Beast Masters in Tianzhong City; if we enter the city riding Mechanical Horses, it shouldn't attract anyone's attention."

Tianzhong City.

Dim streetlights shone on the main street, and a figure was stumbling forward.

An expression of extreme terror appeared on his face.

"Don't come over, please don't come over."

It seemed like something was chasing him from behind.

The sound of flapping wings came from the air, but nothing could be seen in the sky.

The man suddenly tripped, and even the glasses on his face fell to the ground.

He scrambled forward, terrified that if he stayed for even a second, he would be harmed by the unknown creature.

"Don't come over, don't come over."

The man suddenly curled into a ball, his body twisting involuntarily, emitting a clicking sound.

His head turned one hundred and eighty degrees involuntarily, emitting a clicking sound.

Blood flowed down from his eyelids and dripped onto the ground, like blooming plum blossoms.

As the man let out a scream, his head was completely twisted off, and fresh blood sprayed out from the gap, splashing all over the ground.

The man's head rolled onto the ground, his eyes staring at the sky, unable to close even in death.

At this moment, his shadow moved, and wherever the shadow passed, the blood sprayed on the ground disappeared.

Sounds of large-scale devouring also emerged from the shadow, and before long, the man had turned into a skeleton.

And the creature in the shadow disappeared.

The next day, a circle of warning tape surrounded the road.

Three members of the Pet Beast Guild looked down at the skeleton.

There were multiple fracture marks on the skeleton, showing that the person had suffered immense pain at the time of death.

"This is the fourth incident; I think the demon that escaped is rapidly increasing in strength, and its appetite is also growing larger."

"If we continue to let this go, I'm afraid more and more people will go missing."

"I have already reported it to the Guild Master, but the Guild Master still told me to continue investigating."

A man with a crew cut said indignantly.

Another tall and thin man pushed up his glasses and said, "After all, you don't have much evidence, so it's normal for the Guild Master not to approve it."

"Tianzhong City has been a bit uneasy lately; the passage from Tianzhong City to the outside world has been cut off by demons."

"Now the Guild Master has told us not to make a scene; he has already secretly sent people to call for help."

"It is said that three people from the Twenty-Eight Constellations will come here."

"Lu An, what is your opinion?"

The tall and thin man looked at the taciturn person on the side.

"I suspect it might be the work of a Shadow Demon, but how could a Shadow Demon appear here?"

Lu An frowned; he looked at the human who had been gnawed into a skeleton and felt it was somewhat incredible.

Ordinary demons usually swallow both bone and flesh.

But the Shadow Demon prefers to eat the flesh and blood, leaving only the jade-white skeleton behind.

"The hearts of the citizens are becoming more and more unsettled now."

"If things continue like this, there will definitely be intense protests and demonstrations."

Another person said with a bitter expression.

At the Tianzhong City Pet Beast Guild, the Secretary General said to the Guild Master: "Guild Master, the entire Tianzhong City is currently in a state of panic."

"Everyone feels that Tianzhong City is very unsafe, but they cannot leave this place."

"At every moment, people are going missing, becoming nourishment for the demons."

"Can we not launch a Heavy Punch and defeat these demons?"

The Secretary General said with an anxious look.

This method of cutting flesh with a dull knife really makes people feel very uncomfortable.

"Three members of the Twenty-Eight Mansions are already planning to come to Tianzhong City."

Hearing the Guild Master's words, the Secretary General became anxious: "Guild Master, did you not tell them?"

"The outskirts of Tianzhong City are currently occupied by demons, and there are many flying demons inside."

"These flying demons are adept at attacking aircraft; if the Twenty-Eight Mansions come to Tianzhong City and are attacked by flying demons, what should we do?"

The crowd said coldly.

"No matter, the strength of the Twenty-Eight Mansions is beyond what you can imagine; even I, a veteran seventh-rank powerhouse, might not be a match when facing the newly promoted Twenty-Eight Mansions."

"What we need to do now is wait patiently for reinforcements while simultaneously identifying those demons disguised as humans."

The Secretary General nodded: "Indeed, once the Twenty-Eight Mansions arrive, relying on their power, we should be able to drive away quite a few demons."

"I will hurry to research how to make demons wearing human skin reveal their true form."

The moment the Secretary General turned around, the corners of their mouth lifted slightly.

But the Guild Master of the Tianzhong City Pet Beast Guild did not notice the abnormality of their Secretary General.

He was still feeling troubled by the demon invasion at this time.

"Why did it happen so coincidentally, invading in Tianzhong City."

He muttered a few words.

At this time, Ye Bai was riding a Flying Boat, flying toward Tianzhong City at a speed like a stream of light.

This Flying Boat was both fast and stable.

In one of the rooms, Ye Bai, Gui Jinyang, and Jing Mu'an were sitting on chairs.

They were exchanging intelligence.

"Currently, several vicious incidents have already occurred in Tianzhong City, causing panic; many people want to flee Tianzhong City, but they have been persuaded to stay by people from the Tianzhong City Pet Beast Guild."

"What exactly is the Guild Master of this Pet Beast Guild thinking?"

"Trapping people in Tianzhong City—the negative energy produced by human fear is a supplement for demons."

Gui Jinyang said coldly; he seemed quite dissatisfied with the approach of the Tianzhong City Pet Beast Guild.

"There is no other way."

"The demons are now wearing human skin and disguising themselves as humans."

"It is said that they discovered that as long as they put on human skin, they can resist the sun's rays."

"Honestly, now that we have arrived in Tianzhong City, we cannot trust anyone except the three of us."

"Because no one knows if the people around them are all demons in disguise."

Jing Mu'an also stated their intelligence.

The two of them looked at Ye Bai, wanting to hear what intelligence Ye Bai had.

"My intelligence is that I found a Demon Notebook, which records many Silver Weapons."

"As long as Silver Weapons are manufactured, even ordinary people can possess the power to resist demons."

Ye Bai handed the Demon Notebook to Gui Jinyang.

"Gui Jinyang, I wonder if you can manufacture this kind of weapon?"

Ye Bai asked curiously.

Gui Jinyang did not answer, but quickly flipped through the blueprints of these Silver Weapons.

"The structure of these things is not complex; mass production should be no problem."

"However, this is missing a very important step, which is consecration."

"Silver Weapons need Holy Water to be consecrated."

"We do not know where the Holy Water is; without Holy Water for consecration, they will basically have no effect against demons."

Gui Jinyang put the notebook aside.

"I have a piece of intelligence regarding the Holy Water Pool."

"The Holy Water Pool is located beneath the demon nest, and it was established by the bishop who built the demon nest for the purpose of preventing demons from running rampant."

"It is just that the demon bishop suddenly left this place, which led to the series of problems that followed."

Ye Bai stated the intelligence he had grasped.

"This intelligence is quite important."

At this moment, the Flying Boat stopped and appeared in a remote cave.

"We have arrived; next, we must enter Tianzhong City via Mechanical Horse."

"We must absolutely not let the demons detect our tracks, as this would bring us huge trouble."

"I have divided the remaining journey into three segments; let everyone be responsible for one segment."

Ye Bai heard this and indicated that he was willing to go first.

When Ye Bai rode the Mechanical Horse and was the first to head out, birds that looked like demons rushed down from the sky.

The mouths of these strange birds were filled with sharp teeth, and the feathers on their backs were pitch black.

Their pupils are all blood-red, looking extremely fierce.

【Evolution Route 1: None for now.】

【Evaluation: It is a twisted creation, a plaything created by the demon god of the Abyss; it has no obvious weaknesses.】

Ye Bai blinked his eyes.

Good grief, even Meteor Giant Wing has appeared; is this guy a Birdramon?

"Come out, Nether Hell Wolf."

Ye Bai summoned the Nether Hell Wolf out from the Shadow.

Its body turned into countless Shadow, dissipating into the air.

At this moment, just as the Flying Bird Demons were spreading their wings, preparing to use Meteor Giant Wing, a huge wolf head suddenly appeared from their shadows.

It bit the heads of the Flying Bird Demons straight off, put them in its mouth, and began to chew, making crunching sounds.

These headless Flying Bird Demons fell from the high sky like kites with broken strings.

"Kuimulang, well done."

Guijinyang gave Ye Bai a thumbs up.

Ye Bai's Pet Beast had wiped out a large group of Flying Bird Demons so quickly; it was much faster than simply using his own mechanism arts to attack the Flying Bird Demons.

"The Flying Bird Demons are very fast; even if I used mechanism arts, it would take me quite a while."

"If even one Flying Bird Demon were to escape, the news of our arrival in Tianzhong City would inevitably be spread by the Flying Bird Demons."

"By then, more demons would come here to stop us from entering Tianzhong City."

"At that time, our plan would be terminated because of this."

Guijinyang had just finished speaking.

The ground began to shake and tremble.

Demons shaped like turtles, covered in sharp stones, appeared.

They opened their mouths, revealing mouths full of sharp teeth.

"Stupid humans, why do you want to be our enemy?"

"We are the masters of this world, and we are also the most outstanding demons."

"If you leave here, we will not take the initiative to attack you."

The Guishan Demon pretended to be incomparably cold as it said this to Ye Bai and the other two.

"Why be polite with demons? Let's take them down!"

"Come out, Heavy Water Butterfly."

Ye Bai called out the Myriad Transformation Butterfly.

The Myriad Transformation Butterfly instantly transformed into the Heavy Water Butterfly.

Drizzling rain instantly fell from the sky, gradually turning into a torrential downpour.

The rainwater poured directly onto the backs of the Guishan Demons; these landlubbers looked exceptionally miserable.

"Human, who allowed you to summon rain? Take the rain back, and I will forgive your disrespect."

A flustered and exasperated voice came from the mouth of the Guishan Demon.

"Sorry, I am a person who has always been soft to persuasion but not to coercion."

"You look Strong, but in reality, you are like gold and jade on the outside but rotten on the inside."

"I know your background very well; you are very afraid of water. As long as you are stained with rainwater, your Sturdy sharp spikes will turn into lumps of mud."
