Three months later, in Gloomy Bone City, a town at the border of the Nether Spring Kingdom and the Gold Crow Kingdom …
Illuminated by the dim moonlight, the entire town seemed to be enshrouded in a mist of blood. Screams and gloomy winds were echoing everywhere. Now and then, explosions and the noises of collapsing houses and caves could be heard.
Lei Lan exerted the strength of the tiger demon deep inside her blood to the maximum and fled in the ruins. In her haste, even her white nurse hat was blown away by the wind, revealing two pointy cat ears that were shivering in the cold wind.
"Pu!"
She tripped over a withered branch and fell heavily to the ground. Then, she rolled into the depths of a half-collapsed cave. Her entire body was scratched by sharp debris, but she covered her mouth tightly. She didn't dare to make a single sound, even though pearl-like tears flowed down her cheeks.
Looking out of the gap of the cave, the three bloody moons in the sky were as hazy as before.
However, Lei Lan felt that, after she picked up the mysterious blood-eyed young man from the mountain more than half a year ago, the whole world that she was familiar with had been swallowed by a turbulent swirl and smashed into pieces, never to be put back together again!
Lei Lan, the cat-eared girl, had been a common chaotic-blood demon in 'Dry Leaf Village', a barren mountain village deep inside the Hundred Desolation Mountain. She had lived a simple and peaceful life with her brother 'Lei Qi' and her brother 'Lei Chuang'.
She had once spent an entire day climbing to the highest mountain on the east side of the village, only to see mountains that were taller and taller.
She had thought that she would spend the rest of her life in the Hundred Desolation Mountain like her ancestors. She had never thought about the world outside the mountain.
However, more than half a year ago, after a forest fire … A mysterious blood-eyed young man barged into her small world.
At that time, her brother Lei Qi was bewildered. He joined the Blade of Chaos, a rebel organization, and took part in the Riot of Bloody Blade.
In order to avoid suspicion … Also, in order to make her brother Lei Chuang, who wanted to serve the Pantheon of Demons, join the Coalition Army of Demons smoothly, she asked the blood-eyed young man who had lost his memories to pretend to be her brother Lei Qi.
What happened after that was completely beyond Lei Lan's imagination.
The honorable first princess of the Gold Crow Kingdom, Jin Xinyue, had arrived at the barren village of the chaotic-blood demons. Then, she had disappeared into the depths of the Hundred Desolation Mountain with the mysterious blood-eyed young man!
After this. Several batches of soldiers had passed through this small village, and many insufferably arrogant big shots had arrived.
There were also many troops recruiting in the village.
Unexpectedly, his younger brother, Lei Chuang, who had always wanted to join the army, said that he wouldn't do anything. After the Coalition Army of Demons started recruiting strong men, he fled into the mountains and disappeared.
Before he left, he left a letter for his sister.
The letter said. He had already met his real big brother, Lei Qi, and learned a lot from him.
As it turned out, everything the Pantheon of Demons said was false. 'Legends of Ancient Demons', 'destruction', 'rebirth', and 'immortality' were all complete lies!
Now, he wanted to search for the truth with his big brother.
After the news died down and they settled down, they would come back and pick up Lei Lan, too.
The departure of the two men of the family, especially the letter that her younger brother left, made the innocent cat-eared girl confused. Falling into deep confusion, she was both worried and worried. She was angry at her simple-minded brother. How could he have been bewildered by the twisted theories?
At that time, Lei Lan didn't know that bigger changes were waiting for her and the rest of the villagers.
Not long after her younger brother's escape, the news was getting worse and worse.
It was said that a great war with the Tian Yuan Realm was about to break out. All the demons would be summoned. The men would be sent to the frontline to fight, and the women would stay in the rear and take the place of the men to do the heavy work.
Many people in the village heard the news and fled into the mountains like Lei Chuang did.
Lei Lan, on the other hand, hesitated for a few days. She was afraid that her brother and sister would not be able to find their home if they came back for her one day.
As it turned out, on the day when she finally made up her mind to escape, she ran into an aggressive slave-catchers when she was just out of the village.
Lei Lan and the rest of the villagers were all enslaved. The reason was that a lot of deserters had come from their village, which was a great disrespect to the Pantheon of Demons.
Later, Lei Lan was like a boat that had lost its momentum and was tossed into a surging river, drifting with the current.
She wandered all the way and eventually came to a big city in the Gold Crow Kingdom, where she worked as a maid for a family of silver-blood demons.
Reylan didn't feel much about her identity as a maid. She was completely captivated by the colorful and bizarre city.
In the eyes of the cat-eared girl, who was born in a poor village, what a prosperous city it was!
The seven Gold Crow Trees covered an area of dozens of square kilometers. They were like seven super skyscrapers that formed the trunk of the city. Then, they extended out through the branches and vines and interweaved into a three-dimensional downtown area.
Between the gaps of the branches, flying demon beasts were streaming in and out. Whenever there was a traffic jam, the flying demon beasts resting among the branches were enough to break the thickest branches. The splendid nest-shaped villas were glittering among the vines and decorated with petals and feathers. Every night, the fireflies would turn the city into an ocean of light, which would emit colorful halos when the light was reflected on different feathers. It was almost a paradise on earth!
It was needless to mention the bizarre things that she had seen in her master's house.
There was a type of flying insect that, as long as its stomach was lightly pressed, it would let out a "Zhi Zhi" sound. It would make a very beautiful jingling sound.
There was a certain kind of big-bellied beetle whose shell on the back could be opened automatically. After cold food was put inside, the food would be heated up by the high temperature reaction inside the beetle's stomach after more than ten seconds!
There was also a certain kind of round, fleshy bug that looked like a jellyfish. It had almost twenty tentacles and was usually soaked in special liquids. As long as two of its tentacles were stuck to the temple softly, one would be able to see a dream-like picture where there were oceans, stars, and all-inclusive towns. The little people in the towns could even move!
It was said that they were named 'Illusionary Wave Bugs', which were designed to watch 'news'.
Every night, after dinner, the master's family would sit around the big jellyfish and connect the tentacles to their heads. They would watch and listen attentively, sometimes nodding and commenting.
Lei Lan did not know what 'news' was at that time.
There were too many new things that she did not know about in the city. She was like a sponge that had been exposed to the sun for three days and thrown into the water again. She absorbed everything greedily and had no time to think about her own situation.
Lei Lan was smart and as cute as a red apple, she was very popular with the hostess. Her life in the city was not too difficult. Although she only ate leftovers, it was better than living in the mountain village.
She had been a maid for a few months, but she had never seen the master of the house. It was said that the master of the house was a high-ranking official in the army and had thousands of soldiers under his command. He was very impressive. Every time the master of the house mentioned him, her face would be flushed with pride.
Lei Lan had thought that she would stay in this house forever. She was still thinking about how to find her brothers.
Unexpectedly, the good times were suddenly changed.
One day, the city was in chaos. A team of ferocious soldiers broke into the house. They were not the Feather Clan with wings but muscular men with horns on their heads.
The mistress's hair was disheveled, as if she was in a funeral. She was taken away like a crazy woman, and the house was turned upside down. The usually arrogant young masters and young ladies were like infected hens, drooping their wings and unable to raise their heads.
It was not until later that Lei Lan learned that the Coalition Army of Demons seemed to have suffered a great failure in a place named 'Eye of Blood Demon'. The reason for the failure was that a bad guy was behind it. The master of the house was a bad guy named … Nether — Nether Spring's secret gang!
During that time, the capture of Nether Spring's secret gang was quite fierce in the city. It was much fiercer than the capture of the members of the Blade of Chaos in Lei Lan's memory.
She was a maid. Naturally, the maids of the noble families had their own circle.
According to the other maids, in only half a month, quite a few noble families who had been dominating in the past had all been uprooted. Not even a feather was left.
Lei Lan was somewhat scared. She recalled the scene when she was captured by the slave-hunting team.
However, the muscular men who were investigating the 'Nether Spring's secret gang' were quite polite to the maids, especially to slaves such as Lei Lan who had just been captured. They were supervised for a few days. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with their identities, they waved their hands and were ready to set them free.
"You were not slaves in the first place. You were wronged because of the tricks of the Nether Spring Gang. Now, the truth has been revealed. You are all innocent. Your identity as free people has been restored. Go home!"
A kind-looking granny of the Goat Clan with a goatee said to them.
But Lei Lan did not know where to go.
When all the villagers were captured, the Dry Leaf Village was burned to the ground, too. How could she live in the ruins after she returned?
She was homeless.
A lot of maids were in the same situation as her. The granny with the goatee asked them if they would like to be nurses.
The granny said that a large-scale plague had broken out in the Nether Spring Kingdom, and it was likely to spread to other countries and even the entire Blood Demon Sector.
The plague was quite aggressive and severe. Those who were infected would lose their sanity and be as crazy as devils.
It was one thing for the soldiers to suppress the plague in the frontline, but a large batch of skilled doctors and nurses were also needed to treat the patients. The Blood Demon Sector had never been faced with such a large-scale plague before. The number of medical personnel was extremely low, and they were being recruited on a large scale.
Working as such nurses was naturally dangerous, but the salary was quite high, too. If they performed well, they could even join the Coalition Army of Demons, which would guarantee their safety.
