Dawn of a New Era

Pass a village.

The dilapidated village, the old buildings, looked dusty.

The air seemed to be filled with a hopeless and gloomy atmosphere.

A group of dirty children looked at this group of people, their little faces were torn apart by the cold wind, flushed, their hands and ears were covered with chilblain, and there was a hint of curiosity in their eyes, as they approached, they soon followed each other coax away.

After Chen Shouyi passed by, he looked back.

It was found that the group of children were still watching this side.

He let out a breath of white air. The closer he got to Tuan City, the more depressed Chen Shouyi felt. The sky seemed to be gray and the light dimmed.

Something like the field of faith, but not at all.

More like some sort of... a collection of negative emotions.

Then he turned his head and took a look.

In the reeds nearby, a pair of fierce and cruel eyes looked at Chen Shouyi and his party without blinking.

Chen Shouyi raised his eyebrows, and a large number of stones flew into his hands from the ground.

With a jerk of his hand.

swish...

Stones shot out like bullets, and a large number of reeds were interrupted by the bushes.

Unexpectedly, this shadow creature did not die, it screamed sharply, its body shook, jumped out of the reeds, jumped seven or eight meters away, and rushed towards the crowd.

Chen Shouyi didn't move, while Zhu Xueqing kicked his feet, his body was like an arrow leaving the string, and the two passed by in an instant.

The shadow creature was in the air, and its movements froze for a moment. The next moment, its body was split in half, and blood splashed.

"This shadow monster already has the strength of a great warrior!" Zhu Xueqing said with a serious face after returning.

A great martial artist is nothing to a martial artist, but with the ability of this creature to blend into the shadows and carry out sneak attacks, it is already quite a threat to her, especially in the middle of the night. One bad thing is death.

...

Encountered several attacks along the way,

Everyone finally arrived at Tuo'an City.

"If things don't go well today, we'll live together tonight," Chen Shouyi said.

"With Mr. Chen here, you can rest assured." Wang Lie complimented with a smile.

Along the way, he has discovered that Mr. Chen's strength is far from being a new legend.

I thought that even if the opponent became a legend, although he has a gap, the gap should not be that big. After all, he is only one step away from a legend, and he is only one step away from a breakthrough, but in fact it is frustrating.

The opponent is simply a monster, and his strength is completely unfathomable.

Sometimes when the opponent attacks, he can't even see the movement clearly.

...

On the side of the road, an old man was lying stiffly on the ground, motionless.

The body is covered with frost.

Apparently dead.

Pedestrians turned around when they passed by.

The entire Tuo'an City is lifeless, the ground is full of garbage, and everyone's eyes are full of anxiety and despair.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance, and Chen Shouyi showed a look of surprise on his face. He exchanged glances with the few people, and then followed the crowd to the side of the street.

Soon a group of people in black, beating the gong and playing the suona, came all the way, sprinkled leaflets from time to time in their hands, and an old man with goatee in the lead sang in a melodious tone:

"God has eyes, rewards good and punishes evil, good and evil will be rewarded in the end..."

Chen Shouyi picked up a crude leaflet printed in ink and glanced at it.

"Atonement Cult!"

The leaflets are full of demagogic things, claiming that as long as you join, you can keep your family safe.

"It seems that when the society panics, all kinds of ghosts and monsters will come out."

Chen Shouyi noticed that many passers-by had moved on their faces, and they were holding the piece of paper tightly.

In just half an hour, the group of them encountered several teams promoting the cult. It was like a crowd of demons dancing wildly. There was no police and soldiers in the whole city, but the city miraculously did not break into chaos.

There was no smashing, no robbery, and no killing in the street.

It seems that there is an invisible deterrent, preventing all this and barely maintaining the basic order.

But it's just... basic order.

Unattended frozen corpses, garbage dump-like streets, desperate civilians like walking corpses, the whole city felt to Chen Shouyi as if it was slowly rotting away, covered in maggots.

A group of people came to a narrow and uninhabited alley.

"I can't take it anymore." Zhu Xueqing said with a breath of white air.

The environment here made her feel inexplicably irritable and depressed. She suspected that she would go crazy if she stayed for a long time.

"There's something wrong here!" Wang Lie said solemnly.

Just as Chen Shouyi was about to speak, he suddenly put his finger to his mouth. Then he dodged, his body broke through the wall, and a shadow creature was pierced through his chest in an instant. He retracted his fist and shook off the blood.

Then he turned around and looked behind him, only to find several shadow creatures appearing from the intersection.

One of the shadow creatures is much larger than the others encountered. Although it is slightly curled up, it is 2.5 meters high. If it stands upright, it is estimated to be 3 meters. The black halo video makes it look a bit Blurred, at a glance, it looks like a cloud of shadows, exuding a frightening aura.

"There are also in front." Zhu Xueqing reminded, drawing out her sword, her body tensed up, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"And up there, we're surrounded!" Wang Lie's face changed color, and he quickly drew his sword, forming horns with Zhu Xueqing.

"I'll go to the roof," Chen Shouyi said.

"Good!" Wang Lie said.

There are two or three-story buildings on both sides of the alley. With a light leap, he easily jumped to the top. A shadow creature was about to pounce, but his head was chopped off by a sword light.

With a few consecutive sword strikes, the shadow creatures on the roof that were about to attack were cleared.

At this time, the shadow creature below finally couldn't hold back, and rushed towards Zhu Xueqing and Wang Lie.

The corners of Chen Shouyi's mouth curled up slightly. He was the least afraid of being besieged. His hands blurred, and the long sword was inserted into the scabbard. He took out the war bow and arrows from the space, and then opened the bow with the arrow, drawing it into a full moon, facing One of the largest shadow creatures shot out with an arrow.

The 5,000-pound war bow made a loud "Boom!"

This terrifying shadow creature running at high speed seemed to be hit by a heavy cannon in an instant, and a big hole was blasted in its chest. At the same time, its body was knocked and rolled repeatedly by the huge impact.

Chen Shouyi shot arrows quickly, his hands like afterimages.

For a moment, the arrows were like a violent storm.

In less than half a second, the last shadow creature, one or two meters away from the two of them, was blown in two by arrows.

Chen Shouyi finished his work and jumped off the roof.

Wang Lie put his sword into the scabbard dully, looked at Chen Shouyi and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

too fast.

He and Zhu Xueqing hadn't even touched the hairs of the shadow creatures, and more than twenty shadow creatures had been shot to death in an instant.

By the way, where did the opponent's bow come from?

At this time, he suddenly reacted.
