Chapter 419: Deep into the Great Wilderness Forest
Seventh year of Taiwu, the rolling black night is like the surging early summer day.
Since ancient times, the first resistance and counterattack of the human race against the Remnant Race officially began, the power of the Sacred Artifacts began to whistle in Qingyun World at the same time, and the roar of the heavenly power spread throughout the world.
At the same time, southwest of Liangzhou, west of Rixi Forest.
Under the pitch-black night, a sharp iron spear hummed suddenly, and the murderous Imperial Demon General Tianyao Chao Cang swung his spear fiercely, killing a Remnant Race corps on both sides of the river.
Suddenly, this killing intent caused the Remnant Race on the opposite side to stand up fiercely, and three of them moved extremely fast, flying into the air to meet them.
The combat power of the Heavenly Demon Realm is very powerful, but it is very difficult to end the battle quickly when facing the three-on-one siege of the Remnant Race, but it is good that this is not a single fight.
The next moment, a pitch-black figure fell with a bang, Demon King Guchuan flew over, split the brain of a Remnant Race member with a wave of his hand, and then smashed another one to the ground with a bang.
In an instant, more than a hundred Remnant Race members were alerted, screaming and rushing over with a bang.
At the same time, more than fifty Demon Race figures appeared on the cliff, instantly meeting them.
The same iron spear hummed, under the night, a graceful figure held a silver spear and killed out, fiercely piercing through the chest of a Remnant Race soldier, and then that spear shaft roared like a dragon and passed through horizontally.
On the other side, a Demon King stepped into the air, and the moment he demonized, he slapped his palm as heavy as Mount Tai, fiercely smashing the chest of a Remnant Race soldier.
Twelve Imperial Demon Generals, twenty-three Demon Kings, five clan leaders, plus the Imperial Prince and Princess, instantly strangled more than a hundred Remnant Race members, and the surging blood instantly dyed the surging river water red.
"Your Highness, solved."
"It seems that the strongest combat power of the Remnant Race has been transferred to the three southern states, the opportunity must not be lost, hurry on the road!"
"Yes!"
With an order from Demon Imperial Prince Ye Han, these Demon Kings and Demon Generals did not stay for a moment, and immediately continued to travel southeast along the Nujiang River.
Since the revival of the Remnant Race, they, the Demon Race, had hidden into the most remote Rixi Forest in all of Qingyun, and were searched by Remnant Race soldiers many times during the period, but they did not take action, for fear of harming their clansmen.
But in fact, they had always been holding their breath, wanting to save those clansmen who had not had time to retreat with them.
Not abandoning every clansman is a principle they, the Demon Race, have believed in from beginning to end, and it is also the reason why their Demon Race has existed for ten thousand years, so they must do this thing.
Three days ago, the Feather Race that went to investigate sent back news that some of their clansmen had been escorted to Qingzhou to build works for the Remnant Race, giving them the impulse to go to rescue.
But the Remnant Race was truly powerful. If it were only them, this matter would definitely not succeed, and might even expose the position of the clansmen who had already hidden.
So they could only agree to the human race's conditions, in exchange for them holding back the Remnant Race's strongest combat power. 【41
Under the rolling night, the demon race group marched secretly, continuously passing through.
Both Liangzhou and Qingzhou had already been captured by the ancient race, and there were ancient race legions everywhere, mopping up the survivors, replenishing blood food, and capturing slaves.
They were not trying to kill the ancient race, but to save their clansmen, so apart from those ancient race members who were constantly hunting them, they tried their best to avoid places where ancient race legions might appear.
Only in situations where they really couldn't avoid it would they break out into a great battle during an encounter.
In this process, the woman wearing red and silver precious armor was silent and quiet, but her spear was swift and her killing was decisive, and from time to time she would attract sideways glances and exclamations.
Like the civilians of the demon race, apart from the Princess's senior brother Chao Cang and the prince Ye Han, most of the people during this period felt that their Princess was a gentle and quiet woman who liked medicine and hated killing.
But these days and nights after the revival of the ancient race let them know that hatred did not mean she couldn't do it; their Princess could be a benevolent healer with a gentle touch, and could also be a general with illustrious military achievements.
"Her Highness Fengyang is truly a treasure of our race, making us men feel ashamed for this."
In the whistling night wind, several demon race geniuses who were sneaking through the night whispered, and after speaking, they looked at the young patriarchs in front: "If it weren't for the revival of the ancient race, I wonder who would have the immense fortune to become the consort of our race."
"Originally, Lin Dou had the best chance, but it's a pity that the Patriarch of the Scale Clan rebelled because of the ancient race's possession. Although His Majesty did not pursue it, thinking of his helplessness, I'm afraid Lin Dou has no chance. As for the four people Yashan, Mao Lie, Yu Ling, and Zhua Yun, their chances are equal."
The discussions drifted in the wind to all directions, and the young patriarchs of the four clans did not speak during the march.
In fact, since those years in the Snow Region, some of them had been constantly showing their love to their Princess, among whom Yu Ling was the most prominent.
But until the migration to Yunzhou, and then to the revival of the ancient race, they had not received a response, making them unable to guess what their beloved Princess was thinking. After all, regardless of status, family affairs, appearance, and ability, they were already the most outstanding, and no one could surpass them.
Ye Han also heard the whispering discussions and saw the expressions of those young patriarchs.
He was the only one who knew that there was someone in his sister's heart, and he couldn't help but think of her risking danger to save the human Appraisal Master, as well as the fact that she secretly carved a memorial tablet after just arriving at the Rixi Mountain Forest.
He knew that his sister might really never marry for the rest of her life, and no matter how hard others tried, it would be of no avail.
However, after the revival of the ancient race, everyone was facing the threat of death, and whether it was the love of children or marriage, it was no longer the focus, and it was not the time to think about it.
Just at this moment, a sound of surging water came from afar, becoming closer and closer during their march.
And then, a surging, flowing great river appeared before them.
It didn't look like a river, but more like a piece of galloping, boiling earth that had lost its riverbed. The ochre-yellow river water poured downstream at an incredible speed, as if billions of yellow-maned wild horses were crowding, trampling, and galloping in a narrow river channel, setting off monstrous turbid waves.
The steep cliffs on both banks looked like they had been split by a giant axe, barely making way for this raging torrent. The river water rushed left and right in this passage, fiercely hitting the reefs and mountain walls, shattering into thousands of yellow-white water foam, and then gathered without stopping, continuing its violent journey.
"Your Highness, we have arrived at the Nujiang River. Going west from here is Qingzhou, and in between, separated by the distant Great Wilderness Forest."
On the east bank of the Nujiang River, the demon race group of more than fifty people arrived at the west bank. Feeling the heavy water vapor rushing toward them, they looked out and saw the boundless forest of ten thousand hectares not far from the east bank.
After looking for a long time, Ye Han narrowed his eyes: "This place looks extremely hidden."
The Patriarch of the Feather Clan nodded: "The Great Wilderness Forest spans two provinces, and it is covered by fog barriers all year round. It is a good place to hide one's tracks and can be passed through."
"Marching through here, what is the approximate distance?"
"From southeast to northwest, it's about two thousand li."
Having confirmed the direction and asked about the distance, under the urgency of time, Ye Han glanced at the three southern provinces where the rumbling sounds were constant, and then ordered them to pass.
In an instant, the demon race group of more than fifty people crossed the river bank and entered the Great Wilderness Forest.
The fog in the forest was deep, blocking the sky and the sun, and coupled with the rolling night outside the forest, the entire forest land was in a dim and unclear state. However, such a situation was a good thing for the demon race; after all, their five senses were accessible, and their sixth sense was more adapted to this environment.
However, having just marched rapidly for thirty li, they couldn't help but stop their steps.
It wasn't because they were tired, nor was it because they had encountered new enemies, but because five corpses appeared before them.
Five corpses of the ancient race.
They were lying on the ground with their limbs spread out, and their bodies were covered with traces of sword cuts. This scene made the demon race crowd frown slightly.
At this time, Fengyang handed the spear to Ye Han beside her and leaned down to check the five corpses: "They have been dead for about ten days."
"Ten days?"
"That's right, maybe a little earlier, but the error will not exceed two days."
Hearing this, Chao Cang frowned: "Our race and the human race have retreated to the south for a month. The remaining people were either used as blood food or enslaved. There shouldn't be corpses of about ten days here."
"Perhaps some enslaved people escaped and killed these ancient race members in return when they were being hunted?" Yu Ling observed for a moment and looked at them.
"No."
Hearing this, Fengyang shook her head gently: "Looking at their state of death, they should all have died at the hands of one person, and that person should have been more than capable of dealing with them. The ancient race would definitely not treat such a threatening person as a slave, but would only eat them immediately."
Hearing this, everyone around couldn't help but frown.
A character with the ability to kill five people and still be more than capable would not be easily enslaved.
But both the human race and the demon race had retreated to the south, so why would such a person appear here.
While thinking, the demon prince Ye Han on the side suddenly spoke: "There is no need to worry about this kind of thing for the time being. The human race may not be able to buy us enough time, so it is important to hurry on the road as soon as possible."
Fengyang nodded and stood up, took her long spear from her brother's hand, and then the demon race group crossed these corpses and continued to move forward.
But what they didn't expect was that after another distance of nearly thirty li, they discovered the corpses of the ancient race again.
And this time it was eight, also killed by one person, and also covered in sword marks and neatly arranged.
"The time they died might be even earlier than the five we encountered before."
Fengyang spoke softly after checking these eight corpses.
The Demon King Gu Chuan also became interested in this, and after staring for a long time, he couldn't help but say: "Strange, could it be that the person didn't leave after killing the five people in front, but stayed in the Great Wilderness Forest?"
"So strange, what is he planning?" Chao Cang couldn't help but respond.
"Perhaps there is someone to wait for, or perhaps he must stay here."
