Chapter 462: Snow on the Cangshan Mountain, Bright Light in the South

Three years later, the road leading to Ancheng has not changed, but the city wall has changed a lot.

Mingnan stood in the distance and looked up, feeling filled with emotion.

When she left, Ancheng was in ruins and in need of reconstruction. The city tower was basically destroyed and the city gate was in tatters. One more blow and the entire city wall would be reduced to ruins.

Now the city walls have been repaired and the towers look brand new.

The city gate is even stronger and heavier than the original one.

However, there were no more soldiers on guard duty outside the city.

Did they evacuate so early?

Mingnan was a little confused.

The city gate was not closed, so she walked straight in. The street was empty.

Passing by a small stall, she looked down and saw a thick layer of dust on it, indicating that the person had been gone for a long time.

Could it be that the beast tide came earlier this year?

She walked and looked along, but all the shops were closed and there was no sound of people talking.

It seemed as if the entire city of An was empty.

The excitement I felt when I first came here passed, and was gradually replaced by uneasiness and confusion.

After thinking for a moment, she changed her route and went to the City Lord's Mansion. She was lucky as she actually met a few people who were guarding the carriage and carrying things up.

Mingnan stepped forward quickly and asked, "Where are you going?"

When they suddenly heard the young woman's voice, those men were startled and subconsciously drew their swords to fight. But when they found out it was Mingnan, they were stunned where they stood.

The driver murmured, "Well... benefactor?"

Mingnan smiled and said, "You still recognize me?"

The others also reacted. A middle-aged man scratched his head and said with a smile: "I can forget anyone but you!"

"Is the benefactor coming back to see us?"

Mingnan nodded. "I have been in seclusion for the past three years. I just came out a while ago. I thought the beast tide was coming again, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect to see no one along the way. Is Ancheng no longer inhabited?"

"I was wondering why my benefactor hadn't come yet. Turns out he was practicing."

The driver sighed and said, "My benefactor, you don't know that Ancheng is completely uninhabitable now."

Mingnan frowned: "What do you mean?"

The driver jumped off the cart, waved his hand and said, "It's a long story."

While the others continued to load things into the car, he stood aside and explained to Mingnan.

Thanks to the efforts of Yuan Ying and his men, the monster tide in Ancheng ended early, and the people worked together to repair the city wall.

They thought the nightmare was over, but they didn't expect that the monster tide would come early the next year, and it was so fierce that it could not be stopped at all, and it was more terrifying than any previous time.

The people fled in all directions and many died.

They didn't even have a chance to ask for help.

The rest of the people ran to Dayun Mountain and hid there, barely escaping the disaster.

As soon as the beast tide ended, many people moved out of Ancheng overnight.

By the second year, smart people would pack up their things in advance and hide somewhere else.

Those who had no money prepared water and dry food and moved to Dayun Mountain.

The city lord went from house to house to persuade everyone, and everyone gave each other a hand, and finally everyone evacuated.

It turned out that they were really foresighted this time.

Because this beast tide is more terrifying than the last one, it can be called a catastrophe.

Wherever the monster passed, no grass grew, and not a single living thing was left.

The ground shook and smoke and dust rose up.

Even hiding in Dayun Mountain, you can clearly feel the earth shaking.

During that period, almost no one dared to sleep, for fear that once they closed their eyes, they would never be able to open them again.

In previous years, after the beast tide passed, nearly half of the monsters would return.

But this time they waited and waited but didn't see any.

"This is the third year. The city lord was afraid that the beast tide would come earlier, so he sent all the people away." The driver sighed, "You came at the right time. If you were a little later, we would have missed it and we would never come back."

Mingnan couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.

She couldn't help but look up.

Today is a nice sunny day with a cloudless sky.

She looked away and saw that the long street was empty.

The Ancheng that was once shrouded in dark clouds but still prosperous has finally disappeared completely.

She murmured again: "I won't come back again..."

The driver said, "Yes, although there used to be a beast tide once a year, but at that time there were only a few monsters, and they were not very powerful. We could just endure it. In the past two years, there are more and more monsters, and they are getting more and more powerful. When they run, there is smoke and miasma, and the ground cracks. How can we mortals survive?"

The people who were moving things chimed in with a self-deprecating laugh, "They say God has eyes, and there are gods in heaven, but God only brings disasters, and the gods never care about the suffering of the people, and they don't know what we have offered as sacrifices..."

"Hush! Are you going to die?" The person next to him quickly pulled him back and warned him in a low voice: "There are gods above us. If they hear your disrespectful words, you will have a miserable life!"

The man curled his lips in disdain, seemed to be about to say something but stopped himself, and in the end, he said nothing.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Mingnan felt as if he was suddenly struck by a bell, and his head made a buzzing sound.

Yes, everyone talks about ascending to become a god or an immortal, but no one has ever seen a real immortal.

Are those people still there after they ascended?

If so, why can you remain indifferent?

The afternoon sun was very hot, but Mingnan felt an inexplicable chill on his back.

Those people invited her to go with them to visit the city lord, and the city lord would definitely be very happy.

Mingnan declined on the grounds that he had a mission to complete.

But she still sent the person out of the city before leaving.

She didn't actually have any mission, she was just curious about the changes in the monster tide.

Yuan You told her before that it is better to guide than to block, and it is better to take the initiative than to prevent.

She thought it made sense.

There must be a reason for the rampant monster tide. Only by finding that reason can we solve the problem completely. Otherwise, once the monsters occupy Ancheng, the cities behind will sooner or later suffer.

After making up his mind, Mingnan went towards Dayun Mountain and temporarily stayed in the cave where the people had hidden before, waiting for the beast tide.

Finally, on the evening of the tenth day after she moved in, the howling of wolves could be heard faintly in the distance.

It’s the Silver-Eyed Wind Wolf!

Mingnan, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes, flashed out of the cave, found the tallest tree, stood on the top of the tree and looked in the direction of Ancheng.

In a short while, she saw smoke and dust filling the sky in the direction of Ancheng, and the ground was shaking violently, with the surrounding leaves rustling.

She narrowed her eyes and watched with bated breath, and saw that the monsters passed through Ancheng unimpeded and rushed in the opposite direction of Dayun Mountain.

As if there was something over there that was extremely attractive to them.

Mingnan's mind moved, and he summoned his sword and followed closely.

The tide of monsters rushed on like this for two hours, and not a single monster changed its route.

Mingnan felt more and more that something was wrong.

Those monsters seemed to be possessed by demons. They didn't feel tired at all and kept running at the same speed.

When crossing a mountain pass, Mingnan's heart suddenly felt empty and his vision blurred for a moment.

A familiar yet unfamiliar pulling feeling appeared again.

Something was calling her.
