Chapter 1653 : Chapter 1653 Princess Shu Yang (3)There was a village to the north of Lanxi County. The place where the accident happened was near that village.
People would go missing for no reason.
The villagers didn’t have high cultivation levels. They didn’t see what it was. Naturally, they were afraid. The rumors were also spread from here.
“What a heavy smell of blood.”
Xin Yu lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside. She just happened to hear this sentence.
Looking up, the quaint village was located at the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, they had stopped at the entrance of the village.
A nauseating smell of blood came from the wind.
“Brother Xin Yu…”
Xin Yu patted the Little Princess’head. “It’s fine, I’ll go down and take a look.”
Xin Yu jumped down from the carriage. There was a commotion in front of the team, and a few words were transmitted from the front.
Xin Yu frowned slightly and walked forward.
Standing at the entrance of the village, he could see the situation inside the village. The ground was covered in blood, and body parts could be seen everywhere..
Retch..
Xin Yu felt nauseous and hurriedly averted his gaze.
The royal family members who were born around the same time as the eldest princess had grown up in a peaceful and prosperous era. They had never seen such a scene.
Not to mention him, even some of the adults who had seen it before were disgusted by the scene inside.
“Sir, there are no survivors in the village.”
The people who went to investigate came back to report.
There were no survivors in the entire village.
The local who was leading the way had a pale face. “How can this be? When I came here the day before yesterday, this place was still fine.”
“Brother Xin Yu…”
The little princess brought people over. Xin Yu rushed over in a few steps and covered the little princess’eyes. He frowned and stared at the palace servant. “Why did you let Shu come down?”
The palace servant was so scared that he took a step back. “Your Highness, you insist…”
“Brother Xin Yu?”The little princess held Xin Yu’s hand in confusion, trying to make herself see him again.
Xin Yu turned around and put down his hand.
The Little Princess looked up at him. “Brother Xin Yu, what happened?”
Xin Yu took a deep breath and comforted her. “Nothing.”
“I heard you.”The little princess grabbed his sleeve. Her beautiful eyes were misty. “Someone died, didn’t they?”
She smelled the unpleasant smell in the air.
It was the smell of blood.
The little princess held back her fingers and tightened her grip on Xin Yu. Her fair and tender face also tightened.
Xin Yu did not know how to answer the little princess.
He looked in the direction of the village and nodded heavily.
The large group stationed the troops not far from the village and sent people into the village to search for clues.
The little princess hugged her knees and sat in front of the bonfire, with the palace servants serving her wholeheartedly.
Xin Yu poked the bonfire with a dried branch, her mind filled with the images she had seen earlier.
What was so cruel..
It was not enough to massacre a village, but to make the corpse look like that.
Night gradually fell, and the little princess came over at some point and hugged Xin Yu’s arm.
“Brother Xin Yu, I’m a little scared.”
Xin Yu’s heart softened as she patted her sister’s head. “Don’t be scared, I’ll protect you. Besides, we’re very powerful.”
“Okay.”The little princess nodded heavily.
–
Night fell.
The Night Breeze blew and the crescent moon hung high in the sky. The cold moonlight fell on the silent mountain range.
Ah —
A scream resounded throughout the entire camp.
The originally quiet camp instantly became chaotic. The little princess was woken up and leaned against the window to look out.
From Afar, a black shadow attacked the camp, and everywhere it passed, screams sounded.
“Demon!”
“It’s a demon!”
“Protect the princess and the Crown Prince!”
“Quick, stop them!”
The little princess stared blankly until someone pulled her back into the carriage and lowered the curtain.
“Shu Shu, look at me.”
“Big Brother Xin Yu…”the little princess murmured, “What is that?”
Xin Yu covered the little princess’ears, not letting her hear the sounds outside, but the little princess could still hear the screams.
It was like some kind of demonic sound, constantly lingering in her ears.
Two hours later, the camp quieted down.
That was the first time the little princess saw the corpses of the demons. They looked like people, but they looked abnormally shriveled, as if they were malnourished.
The demons ate humans.
They were their enemies.
The mysterious purple continent, which had been peaceful for many years, finally stirred up waves.
The demons that had attacked them were all killed.
However, there were no clues about the sudden appearance of the demons.
“Your Highness, Crown Prince, we plan to return to the city to recuperate first,”someone reported.
It had only been one night, but Xin Yu was much more composed than before.
He thought for a moment and asked, “Why did these demons suddenly attack us?”
“It should be because we were too close to the village and lured them here.”
Everyone in the village had died. Who would have thought that the demons were still lingering around.
With so many of them, it was normal for them to attract the demons.
“Mm…”Xin Yu nodded. “Then let’s return to the city first.”
“Yes.”
The team returned to the city to reorganize.
The Little Princess lived in the city lord’s residence. Occasionally, she would go with Xin Yu to listen to their conversations.
The Demon Beasts attacked people frequently, but they were all in the surrounding villages. The larger towns had yet to receive such news.
“Brother Xin Yu, are the demon beasts all bad?”
“Regardless of whether the demon beasts are good or bad, they need to eat, and we are their food,”Xin Yu said. “They are our enemies.”
The little princess nodded, not fully understanding.
“What if there are demons that don’t eat people?”
“Then they will die.”
“But… didn’t they say that the demons haven’t appeared for a long time? When they didn’t appear, what did they eat?”
”…”Xin Yu suddenly got stuck.
“Your Highness, you have seen demons. What do you think of them?”Someone beside her interrupted.
The little princess tilted her head. “Ugly.”
“What else?”
The little princess grunted. “Thin.”
“Demons have cultivation levels too, but they aren’t like us, who can maintain them with spiritual energy all the time. Demons don’t eat for a long time, so they won’t die, but it will lead to their current appearance.”
“The truly powerful demons are no different from US humans. It’s almost impossible to tell with the naked eye.”
“So powerful… But why are there demons? Can’t we be the only ones on the continent?”The little princess was puzzled.
That person laughed. “Your Highness, there are many other races on the continent. You will see them in the future. The demons are just one of the races on the continent. It just so happens that this race is our natural enemy.”
“Before her Highness was born, our battle with the demons continued. But after her Highness was born, these demons suddenly disappeared.”
“Everyone said that it was the princess who brought the good news.”
The little princess frowned. “Then do I not have the ability now?”
“Hahaha.”The person laughed. “Your Highness, you were born with a strange phenomenon. The demons are afraid of you. But as time passes, these things will disappear. The appearance of the demons is also something we expected.”
The disappearance of the demons did not mean that they were extinct. They would definitely make a comeback.
Therefore, they did not slack off for even a moment.
How could they place their hopes on a child.
