The sky is filled with vultures, carrion birds and crows, corpses that have not yet rotted, broken limbs, solidified into rock-like blood clots, burnt black ruins, collapsed city walls, dead warriors, broken swords, the land is covered with blood Dyeing red, turning into a bloody mire...
Looking around, even the plants turned red.
The fishy smell was soaring into the sky, and all kinds of maggots were breeding. It was like a hell on earth.
The situation became chaotic.
Until a peripheral palace master of Xuanshuang Shrine came to Nizhou with nearly a thousand Xuanshuang Divine Guards, and wiped out twenty-one demon clan forces in one go. This melee finally reached its peak, and Xuanshuang finally ended up in Nizhou. The strong suppression by the Shrine has come to an end for the time being.
After the war, the Nizhou Monster Clan also paid a heavy price. This was a lose-lose war.
The smoke slowly dissipated.
This turmoil almost turned Nizhou into a land of death. The number of races, whether human or demon, dropped by more than 80%.
It is conceivable that for a long time, this land that was not prosperous in the past will become extremely deserted.
In the end, I don’t know what kind of mutual compromise the Xuanshuang Shrine and the top forces of the Monster Clan reached. The forces of both parties withdrew from Nizhou, leaving the humans and Monster Clan on this land to conquer and manage on their own.
However, there are also some other rumors circulating.
It is said that this disaster in Nizhou was deliberately planned by some extraterritorial force hiding in the dark, in order to provoke a conflict between Xuanshuang Temple and the demon god forces in the northern region. For nearly a thousand years, the human race and the demon god had been relatively peaceful. The clan has experienced a rare recuperation. Some forces are unsatisfied with the status quo and their existence has skyrocketed. They are ready to provoke another holy war between the two clans and profit from it.
Some people also threatened that the current peaceful situation on the surface will not last long, and that the brief calm will be followed by an even more terrifying storm.
Not only the Northern Territory, but the entire Endless Continent will fall into chaos and killing.
All kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky, all coming from within some big forces. People were suddenly panicked, and there was a feeling of doomsday that a heavy rain was about to come, the wind filled the buildings, and the dark clouds were pressing down on the city.
But these have nothing to do with Ding Hao for the time being.
Because at this time, Ding Hao had already left the Northern Territory.
…
…
The Endless Continent is divided into five major regions, southeast, northwest, and central.
Starting from the Northern Territory and going to the Southern Territory, since the two are not bordering each other, the journey is extremely long. The shortest journey requires passing through the Middle-earth China and going straight through several major states in the Middle-earth China, relying on the domain gate to continuously transmit , heading to the Southern Territory.
It's been a long journey.
Jin Chanzi had said before that if he didn't stop all the way and used all domain gates to teleport, it would take nearly half a year.
A month has passed since Zui said goodbye to Bai Quanshui, Song Que and others.
A month ago, Ding Hao and Jin Chanzi reunited and set off to the Southern Territory to find their sister Ding Keer. Now they finally left the Northern Territory and came to the Middle-earth China.
On this day, the sun sets in the west.
Ding Hao and Jin Chanzi finally arrived at Huangzhou, one of the four major states in China.
Huangzhou is not a big state among the forty-six states in Middle-earth, ranking about thirty, but after all, it is located in the most fertile land in the Endless Continent. It has distinct four seasons throughout the year, the power of heaven and earth is strong, the tides are strong, and the spiritual energy is abundant. The beauty of the world, the outstanding people, and the strange and beautiful scenery are something Ding Hao has rarely seen since he traveled through time.
"It seems that we will spend tonight by the Chushui River." Jin Chanzi said softly, looking at the river water flowing eastward.
The place where the two of them are at this time is named.
It is one of several large-scale human race-inhabited cities in Huangzhou. It has a domain gate inside, which can lead to most states and cities in the Middle-earth China. However, outsiders need to report if they want to pass through the domain gate. Generally speaking, , the domain gate will be closed at night, so the two of them can't go on their way tonight.
Ding Hao nodded: "That's fine. This kind of river has never been seen before. It's good to enjoy the beautiful scenery."
The location of the two of them was on top of a dozens-story restaurant in the center.
Looking down from the window, a red sun in the distance is like blood, slowly sinking into the river in the distance.
The Chu River flows through it, dividing this big city into two halves. The river is dozens of kilometers wide and its depth is unpredictable. On the surface, the water flow is extremely gentle, but about fifty meters below, there are surging rapids and undercurrents. Countless, extremely terrifying, strong men in the realm of King Wu will definitely die if they enter this depth in the river.
There are many ships coming and going on the water, all of them are treasure ships blessed with inscriptions. They are extremely strong, not afraid of countercurrents, and are very fast, leaving traces on the water that will last for a long time.
The river is so wide that it is as wide as the sea.
Ding Hao had never seen such a majestic river in his previous life. When he looked down from a high place, he felt that it was so beautiful. The water and sky were the same color, and the river was dyed like a stream of blood by the half-red sun. Various ships were passing by, and the big ones were like giant buildings driving on the water. There are countless small ones like willow leaves falling into the water.
"Sure enough, it is the Middle Earth, known as the Divine State, and its prosperous scene is definitely not comparable to the cities in the Northern Territory." Ding Hao couldn't help but admire.
Night falls.
There were sparks on the river, and the passing ships turned on their lights.
From a distance, the lights on the dark water are like stars, twinkling one by one, like the Milky Way hanging upside down on the ground. The closer you get to the river bank, the denser the lights are, and there are more and more people on the bank. Here. The night market is obviously very prosperous.
Bursts of singing, dancing, drumming and music floated from downstairs.
When Ding Hao looked intently, he saw boats floating back and forth in the shallow water. Most of them were hung with red lanterns, and people were constantly getting on and off. Many young girls could be vaguely seen on the boats, dressed in fancy clothes and tulle, extremely charming and laughing. Say hello to the crowds on the shore.
It's actually a flower boat.
Ding Hao laughed dumbly.
Unexpectedly, in this world, the tertiary industry is so developed.
Sitting aside, Jin Chanzi was wearing a cassock with Buddhist beads hanging on his chest. He looked like a Buddhist master, but he was staring at the flower boat below with interest, his eyes fixed and extremely fascinated.
Ding Hao was also a little surprised.
This holy monk from Daleiyin Temple is completely different from the old-fashioned and strict ascetic who abides by the precepts in many people's minds. He is not taboo on meat and vegetables, and is especially fond of fine wine. Along the way, wherever he goes, he always... It’s about enjoying delicious food and wine, without looking like a monk at all.
But this was the first time I stared at the brothel and flower boat like this.
"What? Master, do you want to jump into the flowers?" Ding Hao teased. Along the way, the two of them have become very familiar. Jin Chanzi likes to be lively. When there are no other acquaintances around, she won't get angry even if she makes jokes.
Jin Chanzi smiled slightly and was about to say something...
At this moment, there was a sudden burst of noise below.
The flow of people was like a wave, rushing towards the nearest flower boat under the restaurant.
The flower ship is a thousand meters long, about 500 meters wide, and nine stories high. Each floor has carved pavilions and cornices. It is magnificent and extremely luxurious. It is like a treasure ship made of pure gold. It is extremely rich and noble. It is within a radius of dozens of miles. The largest and most magnificent one.
There are many figures on the golden ship. Even the captain is a young woman wearing a tulle palace skirt. There are also many female warriors who only wear three-point black armor and patrol back and forth. They are all young and beautiful girls, very tempting. .
The flower boat was docked on the shore, and six three-meter-wide sampans were set up on the pier. There were powerful warriors lined up to guard it. The formation was so tight that only a few people with extremely high status could pass. Enter the flower boat.
The crowd was like a wave, surrounding the pier.
The scene was extremely frenzied, as if they were waiting for something big to happen.
Some people believed that they were very powerful and wanted to force their way onto the boat, but they were picked up unceremoniously by the warriors who came off the boat and threw them into the cold river water.
The scene was a bit chaotic and the crowd was too enthusiastic.
Ding Hao's curiosity was also piqued.
He waved and called the waiter from the restaurant over, threw a piece of gold over him, pointed down and asked: "Waiter, why is it so busy down there?"
The waiter in the shop took the gold and smiled happily, knowing everything he knew.
"Are you two from out of town? What a coincidence. Tonight is the day for the Oiran competition in the top ten gold-exploiting caves. The Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl gold ship below is the number one gold ship of the largest brothel in the Middle-earth China. Among them It brings together the most outstanding girls from all the brothels on the banks of the Chu River, as well as the courtesans trained by all the major forces... This golden ship is the place of sex that countless men dream of, even if it is other places outside Chu City. In the big city, many people come here just to catch a glimpse of the beauty in bloom today."
Ding Hao nodded.
I see.
It is somewhat similar to the scene on the Qinhuai River in the rumors of the ancient earth in the previous life.
I had only heard of such things in stories before, but I didn’t expect to see it with my own eyes today. It really has a different flavor. From this, it can be seen that the Middle-earth China is definitely countless times more prosperous than the Northern Territory, even if it is famous in the Northern Territory. In the big city, Ding Hao had never seen such a luxurious scene.
I only hope that the will of the human race in the Middle-earth China has not been corrupted by such a scene of drunkenness and wealth.
At this moment, another change suddenly occurred below.
There were bursts of crazy roars and noises, and the already crowded pier suddenly became even crazier, like a handful of salt being sprinkled on a lukewarm oil pan. The crowd boiled uncontrollably. There were tremors, angry curses and exclamations one after another, and some people were squeezed into the water alive. Even the warriors who had maintained order before, many fell into the water, and the scene was chaotic.
"kindness?"
Ding Hao was surprised to see a white motorcade slowly approaching in the distance.
In front of the motorcade, there were about twenty knights in total, all in white clothes and white skirts. They were all girls in their twenties and eighties, wearing men's swordsman robes and armor. They were disguised as men. They were extremely delicate and heroic, surrounded by a bright canopy. Baisha's carriage came slowly.
