Chapter 1002: The Corrupted Demon Slayer Army
On both sides of the road leading to Snowy City, there are all kinds of demon slayers, and there is no edge in sight.
The old man with a face full of vicissitudes of life, with a rusty axe with only a blade shining with a cold light, and a sturdy orc were carefully cleaning their crude battle armor, while those mages and monks were sitting cross-legged on the ground, cultivating in their own ways.
Different classes that could not have worked together have now come together to fight side by side because of the same goal.
This kind of scene is very visually striking, so that travelers passing by here all subconsciously speed up their pace, trying to leave this oppressive area as soon as possible.
They didn't have much affection for this demon slayer army, and even some fear.
On the verdant meadow, a young demon slayer stood up from the ground, looked around, and ran towards a dirt slope with his stomach in his hands.
The bug meal he ate yesterday still makes him feel a fishy smell in his mouth, and his stomach is constantly making trouble, and it has been convenient six or seven times so far.
However, in order to fill their stomachs, the demon slayers have few choices at all, and even the insects in the soil are not eaten at once.
Along the way, they ran out of food, and at first they had to buy local ingredients or spend money to barely replenish their food.
It can be said that these demon slayers are like locusts, and nothing that can be eaten is wasted in the places they pass, except for the fact that they did not plunder the ordinary people, the vegetables in those fields, and the unripe grains have been poisoned by them!
The people who suffered losses, in the face of the mighty demon slaying army, most of them dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
But now, the money they carry is almost gone.
The demon slayers who have been running all the way are now only left with weapons in their hands, and a determination to slay demons!
But this kind of thing can't fill the stomach.
Just a few days ago, someone finally couldn't bear the hunger and ransacked a village and grabbed a lot of food.
Once this kind of thing happens, it is like a collapsing causeway, and there is no possibility of blocking it again.
Soon the second and third villages were ransacked, and there were even deaths in the process!
Even if the demon slayers had no intention of killing, their actions were no different from murder, which was tantamount to pushing the robbed villagers to a dead end.
How will the villagers, who have no food, survive the next days of starvation?
Unconsciously, the demon slayer army shouting the demon slayer has gradually changed its taste, even if the demon slayers keep claiming that they are protecting the stability of this world when they are looting, but the villagers who have been robbed still look at them with the eyes of the demons.
The villagers didn't know how terrifying the Outer Demon Clan was, but the practices of the Demon Slayer Legion made them unable to live!
So after the Demon Slayer Army left, these looted villagers ran to the lord's castle en masse, asking their lord to seek justice for themselves.
But what awaited them were the closed gates and the fierce soldiers, who whipped them all back with their sturdy leather whips.
As a noble lord, how could he provoke a powerful demon slayer army because of the affairs of a group of untouchables?
It's just starving a few villagers to death, and these lords don't care at all.
So the demon slayers who were worried after the robbery did not usher in the crusade of the local lords, which also made their hanging hearts finally let go.
Soon the robbery happened again.
The demon slayers, who were still not questioned by Xingshi afterwards, began to become unscrupulous, and even began to have the idea that their efforts deserved to be rewarded by these sheltered people!
If they refuse, they will be against all living beings, and they can even be called heretics, sympathizers of the Outer Demon Race!
This idea quickly spread, and was recognized by many demon slayers, and they thought it was true.
So in a very short period of time, the Demon Slayer Legion began to deteriorate rapidly, from the original righteous army, to the bandits who robbed all the way!
After seeing this scene, some people of insight disdained to be in the company of these demon slayers who were gradually transforming into demons, and silently chose to leave and embarked on a lonely journey alone.
It's not that no one objected to this approach, but unfortunately in the end, they didn't persuade these demon slayers who wanted to fill their stomachs, and even suffered scolding and attacks.
These demon slayers have gone further and further down the road of self-indulgence, but they don't know it, and in this case, who will do something in vain!
It can be said that most of the remaining members of the current demon slaying army are some bandits and madmen, relying on their deformed obsessions, moving all the way towards the Snow Manling.
Behind the dirt slope, the young man walked out of a trail of defecation.
Tightening the straw rope around his waist, he was about to return to the team with a fork of firewood and straw, but suddenly found a few black spots faintly appearing at the end of his sight.
They moved closer and closer in the air, revealing their true faces.
"It's ......"
The young man stared blankly at the creatures in the sky, and a feeling called horror suddenly appeared, and continued to expand and spread.
After being stunned for half a minute, the young man finally came back to his senses, looked at the flying objects that were heading straight for the Demon Slayer Army, and opened his throat and roared wildly.
"Run, the dragon is coming!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a roar in his ears that made his soul tremble, and then he saw a huge figure fall from the sky and smash towards his head.
"Bang!"
The dragon Lott landed on the dirt slope, ignoring the dead ants under his feet, and after shaking his wings, he opened his mouth violently.
"Boom!"
A ball of flame erupted from its mouth and quickly flew towards the stunned demon slayers, exploding through the crowd!
A sea of fire suddenly appeared, and the dragon flame that was enough to melt steel splashed in all directions among the demon slayers, and anyone who was touched by the flames immediately turned into charcoal, and the injured were even more painful!
The dragon Lot, who spewed a ball of flames, flapped his wings off the ground and began to hover over the panicked demon slayer army.
The two dragons that came with it also trampled wantonly in different areas at this moment, and countless demon slayers fled in panic, and the ground was littered with corpses.
"Don't panic, everyone, attack these dragons together!"
Some of the monks in the Demon Slayer Legion chose to stand up at this moment, and they cooperated with the fanatics who possessed God-given powers, and began to attack the three-headed dragon.
Bows, arrows, spears, and all sorts of spells rose from the ground like a volley of fireworks, smashing towards the dragon in the sky.
Even the dragons were afraid of this dense attack, and they began to fly high into the air, eventually heading into the distance.
Seeing this, the demon slayers on the ground finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground weakly.
