The queen must start from the head

Chapter 249
The lower realm, the west coast of the Great Qin Empire.

The sun rises from the other side of the sea and sprinkles the sunlight on the blue sea.

The sea surface was sparkling, and flying fish jumped up from time to time on the distant sea surface, drawing a dazzling silver arc in the air.

The guards of Linhai City were already tired of seeing such a scene, so they didn't think it was half a novelty.

It has been more than three years since Xu Fu traveled across the ocean to search for the elixir of immortality for the first emperor.

They guarded the coast day and night just to wait for the big ship coming from the coast.

However, no matter how much they looked forward to, they could not wait for the returning ship.

Today is another sunny day, and the guards at the top of the city are conducting inspections on the tower as usual.

Suddenly, someone vaguely saw a black dot appearing from the distant sea.

He couldn't help exclaiming, "Look what that is?!"

"where?"

"There it is! The one with the black spots!"

"I saw it, it's a boat! It's a boat! There's a boat coming back, it must be Master Xu's fleet!"

The man who spoke had excellent eyesight, and he had already seen the black sails of the ship in the distance.

The Great Qin Empire ruled by virtue of water, and the black color is the color of the country. This black ship must belong to its own team without a doubt.

Soon, the news of the return of the fleet was reported to the city lord of the city.

The city lord was also overjoyed when he heard that Mr. Xu's fleet had returned. He immediately led people to the top of the city wall and waited and watched.

But when he went up to the city tower and looked at the ships sailing towards the coast from a distance, he suddenly felt that the appearance of those ships was not quite right.

Only the flag of Master Xu's fleet is black, and the hulls are all lacquered wood, so it shouldn't be all black, right?
After he invited a saint-level master in the city to come and check, when the latter saw clearly the ship that was about to approach the shore, his expression suddenly changed.

The change in his expression caught the sight of the city lord, who suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Dare to ask the saint, are these fleets Master Xu's fleet?"

The saint said solemnly, "No, absolutely not!"

"The creatures I saw standing on the boat just now are not human races at all!"

What?Isn't the person standing on the boat a human race?
The city lord asked, "Why did the saint say that?"

"Because those creatures were born in strange shapes. Some had horns on their heads, some had wings on their backs, and some looked like ghosts with terrifying faces... In short, these creatures are definitely not human! We must not let these creatures go ashore and enter the city! "

Hearing the sage's eloquent words, the city lord couldn't help but panic.

He immediately ordered to summon all warriors in the city to prepare for defense first, and if these creatures of unknown origin wanted to enter the city, they would take the initiative to attack.

On the coast, huge black ships have not yet docked firmly on the shore.

A monster as strong as a bull with two horns on its head jumped into the sea from the boat impatiently, splashing a large wave in an instant.

It stared at the high city not far away with its scarlet eyes, and grinned as it walked towards the coast, "Human race? We eat blood!"

A witch in tulle standing at the bow also had a ferocious smile on her face when she heard what it said.

"After the people from the upper realm discovered this small world, the human race here has grown steadily for thousands of years. There may still be many masters hidden here, so we can't be careless."

It said "don't be careless", but its bright red tongue couldn't help licking the back of its hand, and its eyes were also full of longing for the human race.

Human race, what an ancient blood food!
It's been too long since they've had their taste.

In the past, the Demon Realm was also a member of the Upper Realm, raising humans together with the Monster Clan for food. How powerful and glorious it was at that time!

It's a pity that the last catastrophe came, causing the large area where the demon world is located to fall into the lower realm.

For the future of the group, countless gods and demons of the demon race, immortals and demons took the initiative to transform into giants, supporting the entire demon world.

Their demon race has been dormant in that remote world for too long.

This time the upper realm encountered a catastrophic invasion, it was a great opportunity for the demons to counterattack and return to the upper realm after years of planning!

Speaking of which, thanks to the human fleet that crossed the endless sea.

If they didn't have the sea chart of the Great Qin Empire in their hands, they might have to spend a lot of time to come here.Of course, the taste of those human races is also very good.

At this time, hundreds of large black ships docked one after another.

On the city tower not far away, all the guards guarding the city could clearly see the terrifying-looking monsters that were densely packed and jumping off the ship.

This group of people who hadn't seen the demons for thousands of years had no idea how terrifying the demons that appeared in front of them were.

Above the city tower, the city lord has led the assembled army to launch the first wave of attacks on the monsters that are constantly approaching the city gate.

After rows of dense feather arrows were shot, the city lord stood on the top of the wall and shouted loudly: "Retreat quickly, and I will spare your life! Retreat quickly, don't make mistakes!"

However, these demons didn't listen to what he said at all.

The two horned demons walking at the forefront were besieged by countless arrows, but none of these bows and arrows could hurt it, and they didn't even penetrate its skin.

When it came unimpeded to the bottom of the city wall, it slowly raised its fist.

Under the eyes of everyone, an extremely hot flame burst out from its fist.

As it punched the hard city gate with a "boom", a big hole was instantly broken in the city gate.

Then there were clumps of flames that kept bursting out, burning up the entire city gate in an instant!

The moment the city gate was breached, countless demons poured into the city like a tide, and screams were heard from all over the city.

On the city wall, the city lord's body softened when he saw this, and he was about to collapse to the ground, but the saint beside him stretched out his hand and grabbed him.

"Go! You can't stay here any longer!"

But just as he was about to flee with the city lord, the demon with two horns under the tower bent its knees and jumped to the top of the tower.Before it landed, he stretched out his big palm like a cattail fan and grabbed the saint.

The latter immediately mobilized his holy power and quickly fled away.

Seeing the back of the other party fleeing, a mocking smile appeared in the eyes of the demon. It followed closely behind the latter, and the two sides left the city one after the other.

About a quarter of an hour later, the demon came back, and there was still blood on the corner of its mouth that hadn't been wiped off.

Among the human race, the higher the cultivation base, the more nourishing and the better the taste.

A saint is so delicious, what about those immortals and even gods above the saint?
It can't wait to go to the upper world to look for food.

At this time, a witch with a devil's figure walked towards it.

"Let's go, we must hurry up and find the passageway to the upper realm, that teleportation formation cannot last long."

The demon nodded upon hearing the words, and walked forward with big strides.

When this army of demons left the city, apart from the smell of blood all over the city, there was no one left alive.

The teleportation channel that the demons were looking for was not far from the place where Mu Lian ascended to the upper realm.

Therefore, once this group of demons find this transmission channel, the place where they first descend is also the fluctlight area.

At that time, a teleportation formation was still operating slowly at the bottom of a hot desert in the Yaoguang District.

Maybe it was hidden too deep, and the mist floating around didn't notice it at all.

Just when a small crustacean monster wanted to drill deep into the ground to find food, the fog in this area seemed to be summoned by something suddenly, and they all flocked to somewhere.

This crab-like crustacean was also followed by the mother-like mist, and was carried to a new place.

When it carefully observed its surroundings, it realized that it was already a thousand meters above the ground.

Before it could take a second look, a mantid beside it suddenly bit off its head, and then swallowed it whole into its stomach.

Before the mantis monster could attack another crustacean, a chimpanzee-like monster reached out to pick it up, put it in its mouth, and chewed it with relish.

……

In Peerless City.

Mu Lian was flipping through some confidential information about the catastrophe that shopkeeper Jia had collected for her.

In these materials, she saw an interesting statement.

The senior who wrote this record believed that the so-called great calamity was actually raising voodoos, and it was raising voodoos like a dove occupying a magpie's nest.

This dove occupying the magpie's nest means that these extraterrestrial beings forcibly descended on this world, vying for the aura of this world as nourishment, and continued to expand, occupying a large number of territories.

When they expand enough, the next step is to start raising Gu.

The big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat dried shrimps. In the end, the strong will continue to devour the weak, and the strong will devour the strong again. The one who survives in the end must be the one with the most terrifying strength.

And the next step for the monsters cultivated in this way of raising Gu is to destroy the world.

The senior wrote this, and he was also very puzzled.

Because he doesn't understand why these monsters have tried their best to come to this world. After multiplying wildly and becoming stronger, they finally want to die with this world?
In short, the behavior of the monsters was very puzzling, and he couldn't think of a good explanation.

So there remains an unsolved mystery here.

After turning this page, Mu Lian continued to look at how to deal with this terrifying monster.

However, there was only one word "nothing" written on this page.

Mu Lian was slightly taken aback.

Is there no way to deal with this monster?
How did the people in the upper realm survive the last catastrophe?
Mu Lian's intuition told her that the top veteran forces in other regions probably had this information in their hands.

But when you think about it, you know that these people will never share their secrets with others.

She wanted to try to ask Slime, but this guy was completely asleep, no matter how much she yelled, she couldn't wake him up.

Mu Lian had no choice but to put this matter aside for the time being, and wait until the little guy woke up.

The next day, the sun in the upper realm still rose as usual.

The people of Wushuang City, who are in charge of guarding the city today, unexpectedly discovered that not only was there no fog near their homes, but even the fog in the distance was much less.

They thought it was a sign that the catastrophe was about to subside, so they hurriedly found someone to inform Mu Lian of the matter.

It was early morning, and Mu Lian was sitting in her small courtyard and meditating.

After Wu Mei came to tell her that the situation of the fog had changed, she also got up and went out to check.

Flying in the air, she looked down at the ground below, and it was easy to find that the mist seemed to be gathering in a certain direction.

Mu Lian's heart skipped a beat, she knew that it was likely that the stage of "raising Gu" had already begun.

Out of vigilance, she swayed in the air and separated another "Mulian" who was exactly like her.

This "Mu Lian" is exactly one of her clones.

"Go and see where these fogs converge."

After she finished speaking, the clone took orders and left.

And Mulian's left eye also glowed slightly red, and the pupils gradually reflected what the clone saw in front of her.

The mist of various colors below is constantly gathering towards an end point.

When the avatar arrived near the end point after flying for less than half an hour, she didn't find anything unusual at first, because what she saw in front of her eyes was an extremely huge cloud of mist.

But when she continued to rise upwards, she was surprised to find that the fog was hundreds of meters high.

But when she raised her head to observe, she found that there was still fog above.

So she continued to rise, 1000 meters, 3000 meters, 5000 meters... When she fully rose to a height of [-] meters, she could barely see the top of the fog.

At this time, she looked down again, only to find that standing in front of her eyes was a giant with a height of [-] meters and whose body was entirely made of mist!

On the other side, Mu Lian, who had clearly seen the whole picture of the giant through the avatar, was also shocked.

Once these huge mist giants have finished cultivating Gu, how terrifying will the monsters that are finally hatched be?
Mu Lian's thoughts moved, and she wanted the avatar to disperse the fog.

However, as soon as the avatar made a move, it seemed as if something terrible was staring at it, and the body suddenly couldn't move.

At this moment, a warning sign suddenly appeared in Mu Lian's heart.

She quickly notified the clone to return.

Just as the avatar flitted through the air like sparks and fled far away, dozens of dark and terrifying sharp claws suddenly stretched out from the ground and grabbed her.

Even though he dodged quickly, the avatar was still almost caught by these sharp claws.

Looking at those sharp claws like knives, she knew that once any creature was caught, it would be cut to pieces in the next second!
With a little bit of luck, the avatar that escaped from birth rejoined Mu Lian again.

After the two were merged into one, Mu Lian carefully thought about the power of those giant claws. The power emanating from the giant claws can be said to be not inferior to her at all.

What are these giant claws drilled out of the ground?
Why do they protect the mist giant?
Could it be some kind of terrifying existence that hid underground to sleep forever after the last catastrophe?
Or maybe it's more secret, the mysterious existence that she hasn't come into contact with yet?

Mu Lian couldn't help thinking about many possibilities, but these were just her guesses.

After turning around and returning to her own sect, Mu Lian estimated the time it would take for the mist giant to raise Gu.

As long as one month, as short as half a month, this is the last time left for her to prepare for the second wave of catastrophe.

Thinking of the size of the mist giant and the mystery of those giant black claws, Mu Lian rarely sighed.

The road ahead is vast and unknown, and even she herself doesn't know whether there is any way out for the future of this Yaoguang District.

In short, she must do everything possible to prepare now.

It's not her style to sit back and wait.

At this time, Mu Lian didn't know that another big trouble was approaching the fluctuating area.
