我家哥哥宠妹如命

When Yi Chengrui saw that something was wrong, he had already asked those disciples to send a message and try to contact the outside world, but no one had come to help.

Originally, they had completely given up and thought that Changping would soon become an isolated island with no one to visit. They didn’t expect Ye Xuan and the others to come.

Shen Changling couldn’t help but ask, “How could this be? Why didn’t you send someone to inform the outside world earlier?”

Yi Chengrui sighed, “Did you think we didn’t want to? However, the only way out is blocked by demonic beasts’ forests and mountain ranges. All the people who were sent out either died or went missing. It can be said that there is no chance of survival.”

Even the news that Mo Jianming had received back then had only been spread after the disciples of the Sword Sect had paid an unimaginable price.

Ye Xuan and Shen Changling looked at each other. It seemed that the situation here was more serious than they had imagined. Ye Xuan asked, “What happened? ”

“It all started more than a month ago...” Yi Chengrui said faintly.

It turned out that more than a month ago, there was news from the mines that someone had discovered a new mine. Originally, this was discovered by a small sect and they wanted to secretly monopolize it. In the end, the news somehow spread outside and other sects also rushed over after hearing the news.

Because the mine was extremely valuable, many sects fought over it in an attempt to take it for themselves. In the end, an accident happened and the mine collapsed. Almost no one survived, and even the people who arrived later could not find their bodies.

Shen Changling found it a little strange. He asked, “What does this mine accident have to do with the demonic beasts’ fiasco?”

The two incidents were almost completely unrelated.

“At first, we didn’t think there was any connection. But now that we think about it, all of this happened after that. There were no other signs before.”

“There have been cases of demonic beasts attacking people in the past. After all, this place is adjacent to the demonic beasts’ forests and there are so many mountain ranges nearby. However, they were not as frequent and large-scale as now.”

“But these demonic beasts seem to have gone crazy. They attack anyone they see, even the weakest rodent. Their scale is getting bigger and bigger, and their numbers are also increasing.

The rodent was a herbivorous demonic beast and was very common in the vicinity of Changping. Its level was low and it had almost no attack power. Most importantly, it was naturally timid and had never attacked people without provocation.

Yi Chengrui seemed to have thought of something terrible, and he paused before saying, “I’ve never seen so many rodent rats in my life. A dense group of rats. A disciple of the peak earth rank was drowned by the group of rats and turned into a pile of white bones in an instant.

After listening to his story, everyone felt a chill.

For all these reasons, Changping was indeed unusual. Ye Xuan pondered for a moment and said, “So you suspect that it’s because of that mine?”

Yi Chengrui nodded and replied, “After this disaster, everyone felt that it was a little ominous, and no one knew the reason. They were hesitating whether to continue mining, but then there was an attack by demonic beasts.”

“However, these are all conjectures. We still need to investigate the truth.”

“Didn’t you send someone to investigate?”

Yi Chengrui’s face was full of bitterness. Anyone who goes out will be attacked by demonic beasts, so how could they dare to come close? Now, it can be said that everyone in the city is in danger.

Shen Changling frowned and realized that something was wrong.

“That shouldn’t be the case. Although the population of Changping isn’t particularly large, with the addition of the disciples stationed at the mine, it shouldn’t be a problem to deal with those demonic beasts.”

“We’ve lost contact with all of the disciples. It wasn’t easy for us to send people out and find the nearest mines, but the people there were also missing. It’s said that there are large amounts of blood at the camp. They were probably attacked by demonic beasts, and it’s unknown if they’re still alive.”

Most of the people in Changping were disciples of the big sects or people who came to trade. They were usually stationed near the mines to prevent other people from mining or stealing.

As a result, the permanent population in the city was relatively small, which was why Yi Chengrui and the others were so passive.

“My guess is that the people at the mines should be the first to be attacked by the demonic beasts. It’s just that those disciples were unable to send the news back.”

Lin Qing and the rest nodded, “That’s right, I can prove that. We were attacked. If they didn’t come to our rescue, we would have been dead by now.”

Originally, they had thought of asking for help from Changping, but they didn’t expect the situation here to be so bad.

Shen Changling and the others’ faces gradually became serious. There were many disciples stationed near the mine. If they were all killed, it would be a big problem.

Those mines were all distributed near Changping, so Yi Chengrui received the news late. By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late.

They were trapped in the city and couldn’t leave. Once they left the city, they would be attacked by demonic beasts. The nearby cities didn’t know about the situation in Changping.

That was why they were so surprised to see Ye Xuan and the others arriving here intact.

“Could it be that no one else came before us?”

Yi Chengrui shook his head and replied, “No. After sending the message, you were the first batch to come in.”

“How is that possible?!” the Sword Sect and the others exclaimed.

They were not the first group to set off. There were even a few sects that had set off to Changping before them.

“Don’t you remember the strange birds we met on the way?” Ye Xuan reminded, “It must be those strange birds. The other sects were also attacked by demonic beasts on the way, so they haven’t arrived yet.”

After all, not all sects were like Ye Xuan. If they encountered a difficult demonic beast like the strange bird, it might not be easy to deal with.
