Chapter 690: Prologue to the Cataclysm

Half a year later, in a forest outside Yong'an County, Shuofang County, the Great Song Dynasty, with a "whoosh", a sharp arrow pierced the air, nailing a monster that looked like a hare, but was full of fangs and as big as a dog, to the ground.

The arrow was quite powerful, and after nailing the monster to the ground, a faint yellow light lit up on the surface, as if it was connected to the earth, and fixed the monster to the arrow.

Even if the vitality of the demonic beast is tenacious, even if the heart is penetrated, it is not dead for a while, it still shows a fierce light, and the struggle of four-legged plowing is still unable to break free. It took a while before he took his last breath.

After a while, seeing that the blood of the demonic beast had been drained, and the small pit it had dug out was almost filled, and a man wearing camouflage leather armor and holding a bow and arrow came out of the bushes in the distance.

After the advent of the demonic disaster, countless animals and plants were infected by the demonic qi and mutated into demonic beasts, with fierce temperament and strong physique, and only elite hunters who were proficient in the folk martial arts taught by the government for free had the ability to hunt demonic beasts.

Li Dashan is such a person.

His father was originally the best hunter in the village, after the demon disaster came, the village was destroyed by demons, and the remaining villagers escaped with the rescue of officers and soldiers, and then formed a new town not far from the county seat, so he was taken by his father to practice hunting and folk martial arts since he was a child.

He also has some talent, and when he became an adult, he became a famous hunter within a radius of ten miles, and received rewards from the government by killing scattered demons in the wild (the government offered the demon head or heart core to the people without restrictions.

In order to mobilize the civil forces to fight against the demon disaster to the greatest extent), as well as hunting demonic beasts to decompose materials such as fur, muscles, flesh, and internal organs in exchange for money, the net worth is already very expensive.

Only then did he have the money to buy this set of "Wilderness Concealment Leather Armor" and "Iron Tire Piercing Bow" on his body. This is one of the best Orion equipment available to civilian hunters.

He had been staring at the "tusked rabbit" for three hours, and finally shot it while it had just finished eating its food and was basking in the shade of a tree. However, the "Tusked Rabbit" has a fierce temperament and is prone to violent and injure people before he dies, so he must be sure that he will bleed to death before he dares to approach it - despite his small size, he is more fierce and bloodthirsty than the wild wolves of the old days.

He lifted the dead "tusked rabbit" with one hand, and then looked at the arrows that had lost their luster and become mediocre, and said to himself regretfully: "This magic arrow that imprinted the talisman is powerful, but unfortunately it is all one-time, and you have to spend a lot of money to find the refining workshop to recharge it when you go back, if you don't hunt a demonic beast at once this time, you will lose money." ”

The Refining Workshop is a semi-official commercial institution set up by the government in partnership with the transcendents who practice magic, which can be found in every town in the Great Song Dynasty, and can create weapons or magic weapons that transcend the mundane for buyers.

The larger the town, the higher the level of the Workshop, and the more powerful the objects that can be crafted.

It's just that the price is expensive, and the average person can't afford it. However, the teeth and bones on the body of the "Fanged Rabbit" are all materials for refining, and some of them have to be purchased at a high price, so even if a magic arrow is consumed, Li Dashan will have to earn this trip.

With a sigh, Li Dashan quickly packed up the "tusked rabbit", put it in his backpack, cleaned up the traces on the ground, and quickly left the forest and ran towards the town.

The smell of blood will attract beasts and monsters, although I haven't heard of any news of demons in droves in the past six months, but if you don't dare to ten thousand, you may encounter danger if you don't leave.

Just as he was running halfway, suddenly, the sky darkened!

He thought it was dark clouds gathering and it was going to rain, but when he looked up, he immediately widened his eyes!

I saw that the originally clear sky, I don't know when a huge crack appeared! This crack is not many miles long, but I feel that it is across the sky, and it is not visible at a glance, and it is dozens of miles wide, and it actually covers the entire position of the sun! It looks like a trace of heaven that separates the sky into two halves!

Moreover, as time passed, this trace of heaven was still slowly expanding!

"Heavenly ······ God, this is the collapse of the sky!" The traces of the sky blocked the sunlight and plunged the earth into a darkness, Li Dashan panicked in his heart, and immediately did not hesitate to spend his qi and blood, transported the light skills in the folk martial arts, and quickly fled to the county seat.

In ancient times, even solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, and meteors and comets were seen as bad omen and cause panic, not to mention the sight of a sky collapse.

After all, Li Dashan is just a folk hunter, he has no knowledge, and when he saw such an ominous celestial phenomenon, he immediately panicked, and his mind only thought of returning to the city immediately to stay with his family - after he became developed, he had already connected his family to live in the county seat, because the county seat was safer than the town.

On the way back to the county seat, he saw many people fleeing to the county seat, all wrapped in bags and small bags, looking panicked, as if fleeing. The birds and finches in the sky are also circling in the sky, making a terrible chirping, which further exaggerates the terrifying atmosphere.

When he arrived at the county seat, he found that the county seat had been wrapped in a faint layer of clear light, which exuded a calm, pure and peaceful atmosphere, which made his heart calm down immediately.

Only then did he realize that at this time, the city gate had been blocked by people fleeing from all directions, and if it were not for the effect of this layer of clear light, I am afraid that it would have caused trampling and brawls and other incidents.

The officials and soldiers of the county town also began to maintain order under the leadership of the officers and let people into the city.

Li Dashan breathed a sigh of relief, lined up in turn, and spent half an hour, finally entering the city, returning home to reunite with his family, and then he put down his heart, but at the same time, he couldn't help but panic and doubt about the rift in the sky. But as a civilian, even if it is a powerful hunter, he can only secretly pray for God's blessing while waiting for the announcement of the government.

At the same time, similar scenes abound in the land of Shenzhou, most of them stabilized the mood of the people under the pacification of the government and the pure heart and concentrating spell that was stimulated in time in the city, but there were also a few officials who did not have enough execution ability to deal with it in time, causing riots, and even some towns were raided because they were mixed with hidden demons, although they were finally quelled, but they still caused a lot of casualties.

At the same time as the celestial phenomena are changing, the deities and doppelgangers such as Yun Canghai, Mo Yunzi, and You Longzi everywhere, Zhao Kuangyin who is sitting in the Shendu, the Jianzhen monk who is cultivating, and the heads of the various sects in the world who know some insiders, all look up at the sky, and have different thoughts in their hearts.
