Chapter 1657: Chapter 1657 Princess Shu Yang (7)

It was the 17th year of the first year of wanjing, the middle of winter.

Heavy snow was falling, and the surroundings were covered with a layer of silver white. Dark red liquid seeped into the ice.

The demon’s body was lying on the ground in a mess. There were still people fighting in the distance. The ground trembled slightly as the spiritual power collided with each other.

When the sky turned dark, the sounds of fighting gradually stopped.

“Huff, Huff...”

Ming Shu rested her hands on her knees and took a breath. “The demons have become more and more difficult to deal with in the past year. Brother Xin Yu, are you okay?”

“Of course I’m fine.”Xin Yu’s energetic voice came over.

Ming Shu sat down. “I’m so tired.”

Xin Yu first ordered everyone to clean up the battlefield, then walked over. “Your strength seems to have improved again recently.”

“Brother Xin Yu is not bad,”Ming Shu praised with a smile. Then she became a little serious. “Brother Xin Yu, did you find anything about what I told you before?”

“Yes, I have also observed it. Let’s go back and discuss it with the other adults later.”

Ming Shu nodded.

Xin Yu pulled her up. “Let’s go back first.”

......

The two returned to the temporary camp.

Recently, the appearance of demons had become more frequent, and they appeared in groups. They were always slaughtering villages.

It was said that the demons in Lanxi County had started to attack the small town.

Although there were only two counties that had demons, if this continued, there might not be any demons in the other counties and the three continents.

The number of demons was not less than that of humans.

It was even more because they were easier to breed and grow.

“The demons are getting more and more impudent!”

“They are making a comeback. We have to prepare for a long battle.”

“I have already sent a message to the imperial city. The other counties and the three continents will be careful.”

At this time, everyone was sitting together and discussing. Ming Shu and Xin Yu were also there.

“My Lords,”a young voice interrupted them.

“Eldest princess.”Everyone called out one after another and quieted down.

When this eldest princess first came, they were also worried that she would be a burden.

But after a few battles, she quickly realized the difference between actual combat and practice. She adapted to the battlefield faster than the other disciples of the imperial family.

Therefore, they were very respectful towards the eldest princess.

“Does everyone feel that something is Strange?”The young girl sat in front of them with her hands crossed in front of her. She already had the dignity of an expert.

“Recently, the demon beasts have been attacking more frequently...”someone said.

“That’s indeed the case. Moreover, they always appear in large numbers. They are different from the demon beasts of the past.”

Although the demons from many years ago would come in groups, they would only scatter for one purpose.

But now, it was different. They always appeared in groups and left, trying to ensure the strongest combat power.

Everyone was talking about it, but Ming Shu didn’t say anything. It seemed that what she said was wrong.

“Your Highness, did you find anything?”

Ming Shu said, “Didn’t you notice that they killed many villages, but their bodies still look weak?”

In the beginning, when she fought with the demons, she could only think of how to kill them to increase her strength.

But recently, she felt that something was wrong.

Everyone thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true.

“But the power of the demons is indeed getting stronger...”they didn’t notice this, and it was precisely because of this.

“I don’t understand it either. I just think it’s strange.”Ming Shu expressed that she didn’t understand it. “So let’s discuss it for everyone.”

There were whispers below.

But no one came to a conclusion.

If the demons didn’t eat people to replenish their power, then how did they get stronger?

No one could come up with a conclusion. In the end, they decided to observe the next battle.

In the next few days, there were several battles, but the demons were cunning and always changed places after one shot.

They were in the light, and the demons were in the dark. It was impossible to guard against them.

“Another village has been slaughtered!”

“What?”

“It’s not far from us.”

“Damn it!”

Ming Shu followed the main group to the village. It was still a tragic scene, but compared to a few years ago, Ming Shu was able to face it calmly.

She walked into the village. There were some broken limbs on the ground, which seemed to be left behind by the demons.

“Princess, there are no survivors.”

There were no survivors in the slaughtered village. There was not even a complete corpse.

Ming Shu squatted on the ground and looked at the broken limbs on the ground. After a long time, she asked, “Did you see anything like internal organs?”

The people behind thought for a while. “No, only some broken limbs.”

“If they were eating, why did they only leave broken limbs?”Ming Shu asked.

”...”

Everyone thought about it carefully. In the past, when the village was slaughtered, there seemed to be only blood and broken limbs at the scene. They had never seen any internal organs.

This..

Combined with what Ming Shu said before, someone was surprised. “Were the people in the village taken away?”

They were afraid that they would find out the real purpose, so they left broken limbs, making them think that they were all eaten.

Everyone was shocked by this idea.

Many people felt a chill down their spine.

If that was the case, where were those people captured? What did the demon want?

Someone immediately contacted Lanxi County and got the same answer. In the village that was slaughtered, there were only broken limbs. No one had ever seen internal organs.

This matter was immediately reported to the imperial city.

The main person-in-charge was teleported back to the imperial city and met with the king to discuss.

Ming Shu also followed the people back to the imperial city. The situation was urgent. The king only spoke to Ming Shu for a while and then began to discuss official business.

“If the demons are trying to cover something up, then this matter must be very disadvantageous to us.”

“If those people were really captured and not eaten by them, then what were they used for?”

“This time, the demons came in a strange way. Some of the demons that were captured either committed suicide or gave useless clues.”

Everyone discussed intensely.

Everyone expressed their opinions.

At this time, Lord Ling, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked at Ming Shu, who was sitting next to the king. “Little Princess, what do you think?”

It was said that she was the one who brought this up.

This eldest princess was really amazing.

Ming Shu looked at the king. The king touched her head. “If you have any ideas, just say it.”

Ming Shu looked at Xin Yu again. Xin Yu gave her an encouraging look.

Ming Shu took a deep breath and said in a still childish voice, “The demons that attacked us are not as thin and weak as the first ones. But compared to them, they are still very thin and weak. This proves that they didn’t eat.”

“If they didn’t eat, why did they take the humans away?”

“They took the humans away and didn’t want us to see it. Those humans...”

Ming Shu paused and suddenly changed the topic. “I heard that the demons in the past are different from the ones now. Although they fight in groups, they are not obedient. But now they are clearly organized.”

Everyone whispered and agreed with Ming Shu.

Ming Shu looked down and said her guess. “I think... They are feeding something.”
