The demon world I designed

No one can tell clearly how big the territory of the Southern Barbarians has been since ancient times. Some say there are millions of mountains, and some say it is the end of the continent, with a land ten times larger than the Central Plains.

This statement has never been confirmed but it has always existed, because the history of the Southern Barbarians has been like this for so many years. Every year, there are people who cannot survive and are willing to take a gamble and travel over the mountains and ridges to find new hope, although they will die a lot. But in history, there were indeed many lucky people who found a new continent and then established a new barbarian country!

At this time, Ma Yunchang and his group were one of the refugees fleeing the mountains.

This group of people is not small in size. There are almost a thousand people. They are old and weak, women and children, and young and strong men account for more than half. But almost all of them have sallow faces and thin muscles. They are almost skin and bones from hunger. Their eyes are numb, and they look like zombies. attitude.

"Brother Yun Chang, it's already the tenth day, are you still leaving?"

The subordinate looked at the endless mountains in front of him, pursed his almost chapped lips and asked.

"What can I do if I don't leave? Die in this barren mountain? Or go back and wait to die?" Ma Yunchang turned around and asked with bloodshot eyes.

Several people around him choked up and said nothing when they heard this.

go back? If the former home can still survive, who would be willing to leave their hometown?

Utopia is no longer a place for people to stay!

The current king did not know what kind of evil he had possessed. He had to collude with the Central Plains court to usher in a demonic way and set up ghost general temples everywhere. The Wutuo Kingdom originally believed in the Spirit Snake Lady of the Earth Spirit Cave. In the past fifty years, the Southern Barbarians have They live the best life in the country, with no worries about food and clothing, and no need for human sacrifices, but things have been different in the past two years. One ghost after another has built the temple, and it has a gloomy and ghostly atmosphere. At the beginning, it was still sneaky, and people kept disappearing. Children Missing people, missing women, missing old people.

Directly afterwards, there is a ghost temple offering sacrifices and asking every family to have a child!

The method of human sacrifice was extremely cruel. Children cut off their limbs, skinned them alive, soaked them in wine jars, and fed them to the so-called ghost generals in the ghost temple.

Of course the people did not agree. The Southern Barbarians all believed in small gods and the folk customs were fierce, so they naturally rose up. But by the time they reacted and wanted to resist, it was already too late.

The evil spirits in the ghost temple can swallow all the gods of their folk beliefs. They will also drag the whole family of the resisters to the ghost temple, skin them and cramp in front of everyone. It is said that the people in the ghost temple can also take it. The soul cannot be liberated after death, it is an eternal evil ghost!

The Southern Barbarians are miserable. There is not much arable land, food is scarce, and there are miasma and poisonous insects in the mountains. If you are not careful, you will die. Everyone believes in evil spirits and seeks a way to survive. In fact, they have been squeezed miserably in the past.

The court had to collect taxes, and the little gods they believed in had to sacrifice blood and essence from time to time. To be more cruel, men and women had to sacrifice their bodies, so that they could barely survive with some gifted food and medicinal materials.

The situation in the Wutu Kingdom is better. They believe in the Diling Cave, and the amount of blood and essence is not frequent. They only need to go to the Diling Cave once a month to harvest food that can feed a family.

Although the snake women in Diling Cave are smelly and disgusting, young and strong men only need to close their eyes and grit their teeth to get over it.

This life is no better than those in the Wudang and Shuize countries next door.

I used to feel miserable and far less happy than the people in the Central Plains, but now it seems that people are really satisfied. Many times, what breaks the current life is not necessarily a better life, but probably a worse life.

More and more ghost temples are being built, and human sacrifices occur every year. People in the city are almost bound and cannot escape, but people in their villages still have a chance. No, after sacrificing a group of children, especially some family members , went to the city to buy goods, and when they saw the fate of their children, many of them cried on the spot and could not walk.

The growing appetite in the city has forced many people in the village to follow the example of their ancestors and plan to continue walking into the mountains, just like when the Uto Kingdom was founded, to find a land suitable for survival.

"But, we haven't eaten for three days, this adult can still bear it, but women and children can't bear it."

The leader, the man named Ma Yunchang, looked around numbly and sat on the ground with a wry smile: "There's nothing we can do about it. It's better for children and women to starve to death here than to go back and soak in wine jars and feed those beasts."

Several people were silent, and then they all looked ahead with Ma Yunchang's gaze.

The miasma gets heavier as you go deeper into the Nanman. You can't even see anywhere from ten meters away. You never know what you will face if you continue walking inside. It may be hope, or it may be a centipede or toad larger than a human. Swallowed you in one gulp

The Southern Barbarians have always had no shortage of legends about warriors exploring the mountains and finding new lands to establish kingdoms. However, these legends are all accumulated from the bones. If it were so easy to find a new place, after so many years, the Southern Barbarians would not only have a hundred kingdoms.

"Boss, look!"

Suddenly, a very magical thing happened!

The heavy fog ahead suddenly dispersed, revealing a dense forest with tall trees and red fruits everywhere, exuding a mouth-watering fragrance.

There are also huge waterwheels up and down the mountain, which allow the seemingly clear and sweet spring water to run through the entire mountain range, like a work of art.

Some people were stunned for a moment. They had never seen such a beautiful mountain!

"This, this, this"

"Water? Water!!"

Many men who were already crazy with thirst had their eyes gleaming when they saw this, and tried desperately to rush over, but they were forcibly stopped by Ma Yunchang and a few of the strongest men!

"Don't move, it might be a miasma hallucination!"

Ma Yunchang has rich experience in this regard. Nanshan miasma has many effects. Some can blind people, some can cause skin ulcers, and some, with colored mist, can make people fall into hallucinations without even realizing it. He fell into the abyss and was shattered to pieces!

The front seems to be a paradise. Who knows if you rush over, it will be a swamp of poisonous snakes? Or is it just a cliff?

Moreover, this was visually unreasonable. I and others were clearly in a barren mountain covered with thorns. Why, suddenly, was there a villa in front of me that had been cultivated by others?

This huge waterwheel looked like fields everywhere. Although it was covered with snow, he could also tell from the exposed black land that it was extremely fertile land. I am afraid that only those good places in Shandong, the Central Plains, could have such good land. Fertile soil.

How could there be such a place in Nanman?

But there are not many people who are as sensible as him. Most of them are already hungry and thirsty. They cannot listen to others at all and rush in with all their strength. How can a few men with Ma Changyun stop him?

The crowd of people quickly rushed away from Ma Yunchang and others, and rushed into the picturesque mountain!

Ma Yunchang closed his eyes subconsciously for a moment. He couldn't even bear to see the fate of those blind daters, either being swallowed by a group of poisonous snakes until their bones were left, or falling off the cliff and being turned into meat paste. The key is that there are still some things inside. There were so many women and children.

But it's better than the previous days. At least I can see hope before I die. As long as I die quickly enough at the last moment, it's actually a kind of relief, right?

By comforting himself in this way, Ma Yunchang even felt calmer.

But in the next moment, someone was helping him up.

"Boss, something's not right, look!"

Of course something is wrong. Ma Yunchang smiled bitterly, this is obviously fake.

But when he opened his eyes, he was stunned. He saw that the group of people who rushed in were not eaten by any monsters, nor did they fall off the cliff. Instead, they rushed into the painting-like mountain and had a revelry.

"This water is so sweet. Hurry, children and mother-in-law, come here quickly!"

"This fruit is so big. Get the kid over here, hurry up!"

The men who had come back to their senses after drinking the spring water turned around and called to their families, hoping that they would come over quickly, for fear of being robbed.

"What's going on?" Ma Yunchang was completely stunned. Is it true?

He stood up carefully, stumbled and squeezed through with the crowd. The moment he entered, he felt different.

It's not as cold as in the barren mountains. Although it's cold, it's refreshingly cold. A breath of sweet air makes him feel like he's floating.

This is where?

"Hey, who are you?"

Suddenly, a deep scolding sound came, and everyone quickly looked up and saw two armored soldiers with big shoulders and round waists. In front of them was a young-looking girl wearing a scholar's white clothes.

The girl was good-looking. In the eyes of rough-skinned Southern barbarians like them, the girl was as white and tender as a fairy. Moreover, she was wearing clothes only worn by educated scholars in the Central Plains, which made people feel that she was not simple.

A group of people came to a strange place and immediately did not dare to move. Ma Yunchang saw this and quickly warned everyone not to mess around.

He has practiced martial arts, and he can feel that those two soldiers are not simple. In the deep winter, the snowflakes will be vaporized before they reach three feet of the body. This kind of ability is something he has only seen in those riding horses in Uto Kingdom. Saw it on the general of Elephant!

"Sir, we escaped from the Uto Kingdom. I would like to ask, what kind of country is this? Which country is in charge?"

In his mind, this should be a treasure country in the deep mountains of the Southern Barbarians that has not been officially announced to the outside world. This kind of thing has happened before. In some new places that have been developed, many people try their best to avoid being harmed by compatriots outside. No contact with the outside world, avoid publicity if possible.

It is said that the Uto Kingdom was hidden for a hundred years at first. Finally, after it had a hundred thousand young and strong soldiers, it began to declare its founding and take the initiative to trade and enter the public eye.

This country has such good land. In his opinion, it must be a new country that has been hidden and has not developed for a long time.

Thanks to the blessing of the Spiritual Snake Empress, they finally chose the right position.

"Utopia?" The big man who just scolded him sneered when he heard this: "You can't find a decent way to tell lies. Nowadays, even a wealthy family in the Central Plains may not be able to successfully reach our Jiangnan if they have a general to escort them. You said you are From Nanman?”

"Jiangnan?"

Ma Yunchang was confused. Isn't that a place in the Central Plains? He was clearly in the mountains of Nanman, and the route he took was also deep in Nanman. How could he come to Jiangnan?
