Shi Sheng discovered that a pitch-black ghost was standing next to Jing Lin. She immediately gave up on Ru Jin and rushed back. Seeing that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, the ghost swiftly fled, disappearing from Shi Sheng's line of sight.
"Are you okay?" Shi Sheng knew that Jing Lin was fine, but he couldn't help but ask.
Jing Lin answered after a few seconds, "I'm fine."
Shi Sheng looked in the direction the phantom had disappeared. It had appeared without a sound, and it had also left without a sound …
Swoosh —
The sound of something tearing through the air came from behind her. Shi Sheng swung her sword backwards, just in time to block Fang Jin's weapon. Shi Sheng quickly reached out and grabbed Fang Jin's collar. Fang Jin's gaze darkened slightly as she turned around and struggled free from Shi Sheng's grasp.
Shi Sheng swept his leg towards his lower body. The Iron Sword spun in the air and pierced Yu Jin's chest accurately while he was defending himself.
The resistance was much smaller than Shi Sheng expected. He didn't know if it was because he was not the only male lead, or because the halo had weakened automatically after a hundred years.
The Iron Sword didn't pierce Yu Jin's heart, but Yu Jin could still feel the coldness from the Iron Sword seeping into his body.
Shi Sheng pulled out the Iron Sword and prepared to kill him in one go.
Just as he pulled out the Iron Sword, the sky suddenly darkened. Roars came from afar and grew louder. A few black shadows condensed into the shape of beasts in front of Shi Sheng and slapped him mercilessly with their claws.
Shi Sheng: "…" F * ck!!
I was the one who let you out. I was the one who let you out. Do you have any conscience?
Shi Sheng dodged and realized that they were slapping Yu Jin, not him.
However, it was precisely because of their disturbance that Jin found an opportunity to slip away.
A few shadowy beasts that had wanted to help let out a few low growls at Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng: "…" Can I kill them?
The Shadow Beasts covered the sky as they descended upon the city. The entire city was filled with howls. These Shadow Beasts moved in the sky and used the clouds as cover. They could attack wherever they wanted, making it impossible for people to defend against them.
"Ah …"
"Help, help, help!!"
Some commoners ran over from the other side. When they saw Shi Sheng and the black shadows beside him, they shouted and ran in another direction. The black shadow beasts beside Shi Sheng immediately roared and chased after them.
The Shadow Beast was the fastest creature Shi Sheng had ever seen in terms of conquering a city. Soon, it had forced everyone to the vicinity of the Governor's Mansion.
The shadow beasts ran past Shi Sheng and swiftly gathered outside the governor's manor, surrounding it completely.
Shi Sheng stood at a slightly higher position and could see the situation in the governor's manor. The governor's manor could also see him. There were a few shadow beasts beside her and it seemed as though she was the one commanding them to attack the city.
"It's that witch from back then. She was the one who commanded the monsters to attack the city."
"Demoness will die a horrible death."
"Commander He, what should we do now? That demoness wants to kill us."
Shi Sheng squatted beside Jing Lin gloomily and took out some melon seeds to munch on. "Why is it my fault again? I'm just here to watch."
Jing Lin: "…" You're on the same side as these things. If it's not your fault, then is it my fault?
If it's not your fault, then why are you still in the mood to eat?!
The shadow beasts didn't give the people inside much time to prepare. After they had chased everyone here, they started to slaughter.
The entire governor's manor was filled with screams.
Shi Sheng asked Jing Lin while munching on melon seeds, "What exactly are these things?"
Jing Lin was silent for a while, as though he was thinking. After a while, he said, "Have you heard of mutated beasts?"
"No."
"Mutated beasts are born deep underground. They reproduce very quickly and the things on their bodies are very useful. If they appear on the mainland, they will be captured and skinned. There are also people who capture mutated beasts and tame them as their own battle beasts. "
Jing Lin paused. "The actions of the creatures on the surface angered the mutated beasts. The mutated beasts attacked the creatures on the surface and many creatures died in that battle. However, the mutated beasts lost in the end and were sealed in the abyss."
"Kacha, kacha … There's nothing wrong with mutated beasts. The creatures on the surface started this. What's wrong with taking revenge for themselves? Are you blaming them for having things that are too useful? "
Jing Lin choked. "That incident happened a long time ago. Those creatures have already turned into bones. Now that the mutated beasts have appeared on the mainland, they're killing innocent people."
And these mutated beasts were released by you.
Shi Sheng sneered. "Those people wanted other people's things. When they couldn't get them, they sealed them away. Don't you think it's funny?"
Jing Lin: "…" His brain circuit was different from this elf's. They couldn't communicate.
"Besides, do you think that there won't be another batch after the first batch died? What do you think these people will do once they know what they're used for? "Shi Sheng looked down at the governor's manor." They'll make the same choice. "
"I'm not saying that it's wrong for them to take revenge. I'm saying that they killed innocent people." Jing Lin explained tiredly. "There are so many children in this city. They won't let any of them go."
"The Heavenly Dao will deal with the innocent. It has nothing to do with you. Why are you worrying?"
Jing Lin was so angry that he didn't want to talk anymore. He simply fell asleep.
More importantly, he didn't want to see this scene.
…
Commander He and Feng Zi killed a path out with their people. However, the black shadow beasts chased after them relentlessly. It was as if they had their eyes set on them.
The rumors about a demoness called Xi Wei being the mastermind behind this incident spread. In the end, it seemed like everyone on the continent knew that she was the culprit and not these black shadow beasts.
Shi Sheng was also very innocent. She really didn't do anything, okay? You'll get retribution for pushing the blame around like this!
The black shadow beasts weren't the only ones chasing after Commander He and Feng Zi. They were distributed all over the continent.
Jing Lin said that they reproduced very quickly. Shi Sheng didn't quite understand what this meant at first. Later, he found out that these black shadow beasts reproduced by splitting.
As long as a certain condition was met, they could split into a small black shadow beast.
How could their reproduction speed not be fast?
If the black shadow beasts didn't have a fatal weakness of being weak, these humans and demons wouldn't have anything to do with them. This continent would have long been the black shadow beasts' world.
As the saying goes, when God opens a window for you, he will definitely close a door for you.
The door that the black shadow beasts closed was the most important thing about their strength.
Of course, this strength was measured a long time ago. As for now …
"Jing Lin, did you notice that they're intentionally driving people towards the abyss?" Shi Sheng sat on the Iron Sword and looked at the battle below.
The black shadow beasts would kill some people and scare others. However, they would leave most people behind. They blocked all paths of retreat, leaving only one path for them to escape.
That path led to the abyss.
These black shadows were moving with a purpose from the beginning. They weren't randomly killing people as they appeared to be.
"So you want to stop them?"
"What a joke." Shi Sheng snorted. "They're not looking for trouble with me. Why should I look for trouble with them? Everyone should do their own thing and mind their own business."
The black shadow beasts were making things convenient for her. Why should she go and court death? She should just watch the show quietly.
The female lead was here to save the world.
