Volume 4: Rise of the Dragon: Chapter 368: A Turbulent World Forest Attack (Medium)

(More than a dozen years have passed in a hurry.) The world has changed again, and it has long been impossible to look at it in terms of real history, so the first few chapters of this volume can also be seen as explaining the background of the times and foreshadowing the plot. ）......

For mortals, the constant appearance of monsters and demons, as well as the various changes between heaven and earth, is like a disaster, and even cultivators are worried and frightened about this situation, so people call the catastrophic situation from heaven and earth to the present "demonic disaster". The demons in it refer to both monsters and demons, and also refer to the demonic energy that has increased massively due to spatial changes.

Previously, due to the abundance of wild beasts and demons in wilderness and woodlands, and even the fact that few people traveled, people from all over the country began to gather in various towns and gathering places, and the unity between people was greatly improved, even if it was a last resort. If you want to go out and walk, you must gather at least dozens of people, and there must be warriors or mages among them, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch at all, not to mention those real demons, even those beasts that have been infected by demonic energy and evil qi and mutated, will frequently attack humans. So there are few poor people or bold people, and no one will act alone, because that means extreme danger.

However, even so, due to the different strength and temperament of the demons in various places, even if you are prepared, it does not mean that you can sit back and relax, because compared to fragile mortals, no matter how bad the demons are, they can be constructed into deadly threats. The number of cultivators who can really suppress demons is too small to protect everyone's safety, so in the first few years of the advent of the "Demon Talisman", there were countless incidents of monsters attacking people in various places, and under incomplete statistics, the population of the Great Song Dynasty alone was reduced by three percent (including factors such as low productivity in ancient times, lack of food, short lifespan, and difficulty in curing diseases, etc., which were not entirely the causes of the demon disaster. ）

However, as the saying goes, "there is opportunity in danger". Demonic disasters bring not only disasters, but also positive things. After the argumentation and analysis of many masters in the cultivation realm, the reason for the abnormal changes in heaven and earth is that in addition to the destruction and promotion of the human demon path (such as the "Heaven Breaking Demon Array" of the Nine Heavens), the greater reason is the "Spiritual Sky Immortal Realm" located in a similar plane Invaded by the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm of the High Demon Plane and the Plane System of the Lingkong Immortal Realm of the Intermediate Spiritual Qi Plane collided with each other, and many of the Origin Power of the Demon Realm and the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm poured into the human plane through certain contact channels, and fused with the original plane system and origin power of the human world, leading to certain changes in the concentration and composition of the spiritual energy in the human world.

This is not difficult to understand, originally the human world and the demon world belonged to the ancient flood and desolation 6 part, and later because of the catastrophe of heaven and earth, but there is still a broken relationship between each other; There has been a change between the two, and naturally it has a great impact on the world.

Although compared to the huge origin power of the Demon Realm and the Spirit Sky Immortal Realm, the origin power that was lost due to the collision was only a small part. But after all, it was a high-level realm source power, and compared to the human world that was now on the downhill slope and the regional aura was barren, it was already a great tonic! The powerful Demon Realm Source Force not only changed some of the rules of the human world, but also spurred more vitality, enabling it to attract and produce more demonic qi and demons!

Of course, the source power of the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm contained in it has also changed some of the rules, and some places in the human world have greater spiritual veins and can attract and produce more spiritual energy. Moreover, although the demon is low-level, it is not an ordinary beast, comparable to the skin, bones, demon core, inner pill, and even flesh, hair, and ~~~~~~, etc., and many plants and ores that have been infected by demonic energy and spiritual energy, and have been mutated, in the hands of cultivators who are proficient in refining, they can become suitable materials to refine various magic weapons and elixirs.

And the endless stream of low-level demons that appeared provided dozens of times more materials for the cultivation realm than usual! A large number of magic weapons and pills, plus the increase in the concentration of spiritual energy, and the increased cultivation degree were too beneficial to the cultivation realm.

If you put it aside, in a way, this demonic disaster is actually a "prosperous era" in the cultivation realm.

However, on the whole, the proportion of demonic qi in the human aura is increasing now, although cultivators can obtain temporary benefits, but if it goes on for a long time, when the demonic qi completely fills the world, except for those demonic cultivators. Other cultivators will no longer be able to absorb the pure aura, and the result will either decline or migrate to other dimensions or stars, so that the human world will become the next subordinate plane of the demon realm, which is the real disaster!

Of course, there are many talents in the cultivation realm, and no one will fail to see this trend, and they must have begun to make various arrangements for this a long time ago, but these are all secrets of various factions, and they are not known to outsiders.

For ordinary people, the "magic talisman" is a treasure that can really change their fate. It is simple to use, quick to work, rich in functions, practical, and practical, even if an ordinary person sticks a "magic talisman", he can become a "master" before his effect disappears, and his survivability is greatly enhanced. And after using the "Magic Talisman" regularly, people are also surprised to find that their physique has also improved a lot, although it cannot achieve the effect of being increased by the "Magic Talisman", but it can really improve people's physique. Some people even claim that if they can continue to use a thousand "Broken Talismans". At that time, even if you don't need to use the "Demon Talisman", you can become a "person", which is not inferior to those martial arts masters who have cultivated for many years! Even some people with good roots and bones can improve their physique to the level that meets the level of those cultivation sects recruiting disciples!

Not only can it increase temporary security, but also continuously improve the physique of the body, the most important thing is that the requirements for redeeming huàn "magic talismans" are not high, in addition to directly buying five high-quality papers. Ten copies of demon blood and some additional mutated ores can be exchanged for a "magic talisman" that can save your life in a critical moment. Even if there are no specified materials, the imperial court has also published a long list of materials for the demons, medicinal materials, ores, spirit stones, beautiful jade, and even food, ~~~~~~~grain, etc., all of which can be exchanged for each other in a certain proportion, as long as there is enough amount of exchange, you can exchange for the corresponding "magic talisman".

This avoids the embarrassing situation where people have harvested a lot of materials but cannot redeem them because of a certain lack of materials. It greatly facilitated the lives of the people, and the Great Song court, which made this decision, also greatly enhanced its prestige and prestige, and became more trusted by the people. Of course, there is not only one type of "magic talisman", and there are also three levels: high, medium, and low, which can increase the ability by three times, six times, and nine times respectively, and the price of each level is ten times higher. However, the price of the imperial court is not high, even if it is just a strong man who has practiced martial arts for more than three years to participate in the team hunting demon hunting operation, as long as the luck is not bad, he can harvest the materials that can be exchanged for low-level demon talismans;

Convenient, practical, and more importantly, the low price compared to the function is simply good quality and low price, and out of hatred for monsters and worship of the strong, people often praise and envy those who can hunt monsters, and the profession of "demon hunter" was born accordingly and developed rapidly. Hunting monsters can not only gain wealth and power, but also gain honor, which is exactly what many people want; inspired by this, people buy "magic talismans", go out hunting heat, greatly increased, countless people who want to obtain honor, master power, and even change their fate have joined the demon team, bravely fighting against the monsters that invaded the world. The world has also set off a tide of battles between humans and demons.

"This is the worst of times, when darkness reigns in the skies, monsters roam the earth, mortals are slaughtered and calamities are slain, the weak are killed, the slaughterers are screaming, and darkness and calamity are brought to the world.

This is also the best era, in this period, the light of hope blooms everywhere, the fighting spirit of the brave is burning, and the fragile human beings have withstood the attacks of monsters again and again with their weak bodies, and continue to grow and grow in the flames of war;

The warriors raised their swords to the demons, and the heroes rose in battle, and the powerful demons were still strong and continued to get stronger, but the fire of human resistance was also constantly burning, and finally formed a prairie fire;

This is the stage of the strong, it is the hero, this is the demonic disaster, a sacred era!" The legendary bard Arion ~ Wright, who traveled from the West to China, wrote this poem after several years of demonic disasters......

Of course, mortals are just mortals after all, no matter how strong they are, there are limits, even if they are equipped with "magic talismans" and weapons, they can't compare with aggressive and bloodthirsty monsters. Therefore, in the baptism of blood and tears of the battle between men and demons, people gradually grew up. They learned to unite, to strategize, to strat, and to work together to hunt demons with wisdom and strength. After all, human nature has its glorious side, and in the midst of disasters, human beings have abandoned all kinds of bad habits of the past and faced life with a more positive attitude.

Of course, this qiē is inseparable from the guidance of the Great Song Dynasty, the famous co-lord of the world, and the strong support of the major sects of cultivation; the preservation of the imperial court has given the people everywhere the guidance and organization of their actions, so that they will not be in a mess and waste their strength in internal friction; the cultivators of various factions have blocked the strong among the few demons (there are so many monsters that appear, although most of them are low-level demons, but there will always be some powerful demons and demons that have entered the world by accident or purpose, and they will naturally not give up killing human beings), so that the high-end combat power of the two sides will be maintained in a certain balance, and will not be at an overwhelming disadvantageAnd the auxiliary Dao talisman and magic weapon represented by the "Demon Talisman" also provide great help for mortals in the battle against low-level monsters with relatively strong combat power, so that mortals also have goals and means to fight.

Together, these three aspects are the foundation for the human world to be able to maintain and continue to develop; because their existence gives everyone the hope of defeating demons, changing their fate, and mastering power! With hope, there is a goal to strive for, and with the appropriate guidance and hints of the court and various sects that have mastered public opinion and power, human society has not tended to be chaotic and has ensured a positive attitude and enterprising spirit.

Countless histories in the past have told future generations that only order and hope can bring stability and harmony, while chaos and despair can only bring ruin in the end. After all, there is not only a good side in human nature, but also an evil side, if you can't even see the stability and hope, the evil side of human nature will burst out, and then hurt others and destroy yourself at the same time. "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best thing, as long as there is hope, you have to persevere, and in the end, you can meet a better tomorrow." This phrase came out of nowhere, and it was regarded as the most reasonable by all who heard it, and it also inspired many people who were once desperate.

Due to the use of "demon charms" and the rise of a large number of "demon hunters", countless demons occupying the wilderness were expelled or killed, and pieces of originally abandoned farmland were planted again to harvest crops; roads that were once blocked were opened, caravans full of daily necessities were once again sent out, bringing wealth and hope to various places; food became abundant, commodities began to circulate, prices calmed down and stabilized, weapons and equipment also increased and improved in exchanges and mutual assistance, casualties began to decrease, panic disappeared in the eyes of the people, and the light of hope rose again.

With the efforts of all the forces and people in the world, the world has prospered again. In order to fight against monsters and reduce their own pressure, many Xiuzhen sects have begun to open some spells and martial arts secrets that are not so secret to the sect to the outside world after discussion and discussion led by the Great Song Dynasty; as long as they can pay enough price, they can choose a satisfactory exercise in the fang markets opened by each sect; even under the instructions of some sects affected by the imperial court's sale of "magic talismans", as long as someone can pay materials of equal value, they can also exchange them for various Taoist talismans, magic weapons, pills, and spirit stones and other materials;

And those original martial arts sects, under the strong pressure of the outside world, in addition to the only few hands to press the bottom of the box stunts, the original secret cultivation cheats and stunts are also open to the outside world, and can also be exchanged with materials of equal value, if the price is enough, you can even hire a master to teach and guide. If you don't do this, you can't do it, even the powerful, mysterious and hidden Xiuzhen sect is open to the outside world, and if the martial arts sect continues to be conservative, then even the disciples will not be able to recruit them. After all, compared to practicing martial arts, the cultivation of immortality is more attractive, if it is not for the fact that the price of cultivating the true practice is too high, the effect is slow and people who urgently need to increase their strength, only by practicing martial arts can they quickly obtain the power of self-preservation, I am afraid that these martial arts sects will not be able to pass on. As for tradition, it has to be put aside under the pressure of survival. Anyway, under the banner of "benefiting mankind and fighting demons" is also a very suitable excuse.

But after all, everyone's strength is strong and weak, and hiring others to protect you when your own strength is weak is not the only good way. Under such circumstances, the dart game with the nature of official and martial arts flourished in the form of official and martial arts to protect people's property or personal safety.

Many of the most skilled martial artists are employed by the game for the following reasons:

One is to make money, because in the context of the demonic disaster, the dart game is very profitable, and the subordinates are also highly paid;

Second, in order to experience, in the process of darts, you will always encounter all kinds of demons, beasts, and even robbers, and you can hone your martial arts by fighting with them;

Third, because of the special nature of the dart bureau, each dart bureau will apply to the imperial court for business qualifications before opening, and the strength is not enough or is not formal, and it will not be recognized. After being recognized by the imperial court, he will arrange the corresponding personnel to guide the formation of the dart bureau and issue business plaques. This business plaque is not only a decoration and façade, but also a magic weapon! It is refined by the masters of the Imperial Court's Worship Pavilion, and has the function of gathering spirits and defending. When not in use, put a spirit stone in a specific groove to activate the internal spirit gathering array, attract the surrounding heaven and earth aura to assist in cultivation;

The higher the level, the stronger the effect of the plaque, the greater the concentration of absorbing aura and the greater the range of defense. Under such advantageous conditions, it is also a great temptation for those masters who have no backing.

And "Yang Wei Dart Bureau" is an intermediate level dart game officially recognized by the imperial court, and the masters are innumerably famous. As for the high-level dart game, it seems that only those cultivators or mages are qualified to form a game that mortals can't touch.
