"The leader is giving blind orders!" someone whispered, "Why does he insist on living in a tent instead of living at home..."

At this moment, the ground began to shake slightly. It was just a slight tremor at first, but soon became more and more violent.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, and a terrible tearing sound came from the bottom of the dungeon.

The stubborn old man's face turned pale instantly as he watched spider-web-like cracks appear on the wall of the room he had carefully decorated.

"Run!" Zhang Chen picked up the dazed old man and rushed to the ground in a few steps.

Behind him, the pillars of the dungeon began to break and the ceiling collapsed.

Everyone then realized that if Zhang Chen had not given them an early warning, they might have been buried under the rubble.

Those who once complained are now silent, with guilt on their faces.

"I'm...I'm sorry..." the old man said tremblingly, tears flowing down his wrinkles, "I'm too stubborn..."

Zhang Chen patted his shoulder gently: "You can rebuild your home if you lose it, but if you lose your life, you lose everything."

In the temporary tent area in the distance, the survivors watched the underground city collapse and were glad that they had followed Zhang Chen's arrangements.

A disaster made everyone understand the leader's foresight.

"March towards Nanling!" Zhang Chen gave the order and led the team towards the direction of the mountains.

Nanling is famous for its unique topography, with steep mountains and crisscrossing gullies, making it a natural refuge.

"Every mountain here is like a natural fortress," Zhang Chen explained to everyone, "The rugged terrain will restrict the movements of the demons. Caves and canyons are perfect hiding places."

The survivors looked at the towering mountains and gradually understood Zhang Chen's intention.

The terrain here is complex and the mountain roads are winding. Even flying demons find it difficult to move freely among the dense mountains.

Humans can take advantage of these terrains and build shelters in the mountains.

"Luna," Zhang Chen turned to the purple-haired girl, "You will lead everyone to the designated location. Yin Yue and I will track down the traces of the demon."

Silver Moon was the name of the dragon girl. Upon hearing the call, she immediately transformed into her true form. Under the moonlight, her silver scales shone with a cold light, and her slender dragon body was elegant and full of power.

"Be careful..." Luna looked at Zhang Chen worriedly.

"Don't worry," Zhang Chen climbed onto the dragon's back, "We'll be back after we figure out the demon's intentions."

The silver moon spread its wings and flew high, quickly disappearing into the night sky. In the sky, Zhang Chen could clearly see the traces of the ravages of the demons - the dark demonic energy left striking scars on the surface of the earth.

"Over there!" Yin Yue suddenly growled.

In the distance, a black fog was moving rapidly across the horizon.

"Chase!" Zhang Chen's eyes flashed coldly.

Yin Yue understood, let out a dragon's roar, and swooped down like lightning.

The earth was rapidly retreating under my feet and the cold wind was whistling past.

Zhang Chen and Yin Yue had a perfect understanding of each other. They kept exchanging glances during the pursuit and understood each other's intentions without words.

This master and servant have been working together for many years and have experienced countless life and death tests.

Yin Yue's graceful figure drew a silver line in the night sky, while Zhang Chen stood on her back, ready to take action at any time.

In the darkness, the demonic energy suddenly expanded and transformed into a giant, hideous and terrifying demon.

It was pitch black all over, with six pairs of blood-red compound eyes, and the membranous wings spread out behind it were dozens of feet wide.

The most terrifying thing was the smell of it - pure, sickening evil and madness.

"Lowly humans," the demon screamed shrilly, "your flesh and blood is so... delicious..." It licked its huge mouth full of sharp teeth, and the saliva dripped with a sizzling corrosive sound.

“Heh,” Zhang Chen sneered, “I knew you scavengers would come to prey.” A golden light condensed in his hand, “But you picked the wrong prey.”

The demon grinned fiercely, and his body suddenly split into dozens of small demons, each of which was hideous and ferocious.

"Human fear is the most delicious," they roared in unison, "especially those tender women and children..."

Yin Yue let out an angry dragon roar, and his icy breath instantly froze several small demons.

But more monsters rushed over from all directions, with strange purple light flashing on their claws.

"You are just a mere human," the giant demon said with contempt, "your civilization will be destroyed by our invasion, your women will become our cub-bearing vessels, and your children will become our blood food..."

Zhang Chen's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He hated these evil beings who treated humans as playthings the most. "Silver Moon," he whispered, "explode with all your strength."

The dragon girl understood, and her silver scales instantly glowed with brilliant light. Zhang Chen stood on her back and began to chant an ancient spell. In an instant, the auras of man and dragon merged perfectly.

"Arrogant!" the demon roared, "low-level creature!" It opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a cloud of black mist that was enough to corrode everything.

But this time, it will pay the price for its arrogance.

Chapter 640: Lower Creatures?

Under the cover of night, Zhang Chen and Yin Yue teamed up to fight against this cunning demon. However, the battle was not smooth, and the demon's fighting style was far beyond expectations.

"Bang!" Zhang Chen's golden light technique hit the demon, but its body dispersed like liquid and easily avoided the fatal blow.

Although Silver Moon's icy breath froze some of the demonic energy, it was quickly melted by the strange corrosive force.

"Damn..." Zhang Chen frowned, "Conventional attacks are ineffective against it."

The demon let out a sharp laugh, and its body kept twisting and deforming, sometimes turning into a giant monster, and sometimes splitting into groups, making it impossible to capture its true form.

What's worse, the black mist it released seemed to interfere with perception, and Zhang Chen failed several times in his attempts to lock onto its breath.

"Human, feel despair!" The voice of the demon came from all directions. Suddenly, a sharp claw attacked from a blind spot and cut through Yin Yue's scales. The dragon girl felt pain and almost dropped Zhang Chen.

"Silver Moon!" Zhang Chen looked solemn.

The wound was being corroded by the purple poison, and Yin Yue's flight began to become unstable.

The demon's attack methods are strange and varied. Sometimes it turns into demonic energy like a sharp arrow, and sometimes it condenses into a solid giant claw.

The most troublesome thing is that it can split and reassemble at any time, making it impossible to determine which one is the real one.

"Damn it," Zhang Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "This guy is more difficult than I thought." The several supernatural powers he tried had little effect, which made him realize that he might have underestimated the enemy.

The power of the demon is far beyond that of ordinary monsters. It not only possesses great strength, but also has a strange wisdom. It is testing, playing with its prey, and looking for the most deadly opportunity...

"Heh...have you had enough fun?" The devil laughed sinisterly, his six pairs of blood-red eyes flashing with cruel light.

Its body suddenly expanded and turned into a huge black net, trying to cover Zhang Chen and Yin Yue together.

Zhang Chen quickly condensed his supernatural powers in his palms, but every attack was like hitting cotton.

The demon's body seemed to have no substance, but it could condense into a deadly blade in an instant.

"Damn...what is its essence?" Zhang Chen thought while dodging.

At this time, he noticed that every time the demon split or reorganized, there would be a moment of stagnation. And under the moonlight, its demonic energy seemed to produce subtle fluctuations.

"Wait..." Zhang Chen's eyes lit up, "Yin Yue, Yue Hua!"

The dragon girl immediately understood her master's intention.

Her silver scales trembled, reflecting the bright moonlight. As expected, the demon's movements were slightly delayed.

"I see..." Zhang Chen sneered, "You are not a simple physical monster, but a collection of countless demonic particles. These particles will resonate under the influence of moonlight..."

The demon's movements were obviously slow, and it roared angrily: "Low-life, do you think you can win by seeing through this?"

"No," Zhang Chen made hand gestures, "but at least I know how to deal with you." He began to chant an ancient spell and took out a silver-glowing supernatural token from his arms.

"Yin Yue, get ready..." A cold light flashed in Zhang Chen's eyes, "Let's deal with this annoying guy!"

“Spiritual Fantasy·Moonlight Resonance Slash!” Zhang Chen used his special ability, and Yin Yue’s dragon body instantly transformed into countless moonlight blades.

The supernatural token emitted a dazzling silver light, forcibly decomposing the demonic particles of the devil.

The demon let out a sharp scream, and its huge body began to disintegrate.

But at this moment, Zhang Chen saw a scene that shocked him.

In the disintegrating demonic energy, there were actually countless human faces twisted in pain!

There were old people, women, children... their eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness, and they wailed silently.

What’s even more terrifying is that a large amount of rotten corpse fragments emerged from the evil energy.

“Hahahaha…” Although the demon was dissipating, it let out a smug grin, “Foolish human, do you think you can destroy me like this?”

"I am the collection of human negative emotions, the crystallization of countless wronged souls' grievances, and the embodiment of the unwillingness of rotting corpses! As long as humans exist, there will be fear, hatred, and despair..."

Zhang Chen's pupils shrank. He saw the evil spirits condensing into a huge human face, which said in an extremely gloomy tone: "War, massacre, betrayal...Humanity is always creating new grievances. Your sins are the nourishment for my rebirth!"

"I will come back... When the darkness in human nature accumulates again, when resentment gathers again, I will definitely come back! Hahaha..."

The demon's body completely dissipated, but its laughter echoed in the night sky for a long time.

Zhang Chen looked solemn, he knew that this victory was only temporary. As long as there was darkness in human nature, the demons would never truly perish.

The silver moon gently fell to the ground and turned into a human form.

She looked at Zhang Chen's solemn expression and said softly: "Master..."

"Let's go," Zhang Chen put away the power token, "let's go find other people. But remember, this battle is not over yet..."

After returning to the evacuation team, Zhang Chen found that most of the survivors had already headed towards Nanling. The winding stream of people looked like a long dragon under the moonlight, and the ruts and footprints left deep marks in the wilderness.

"Report to the lord," a scout came running, "There is news from the northern dungeon. It is safe there for the time being."

Zhang Chen nodded. The three underground cities in the north were built deep underground and were heavily guarded, so they escaped the attacks of the demons. There were about 30,000 residents in the city, who were terrified and wanted to evacuate with the main force.

"Let them stay where they are." Zhang Chen said in a deep voice.

"But..." the scout looked puzzled.

"The plains have fertile soil and easy irrigation," Zhang Chen explained, "suitable for growing food. If everyone retreats to the mountains, we'll soon face food shortages."

He looked at the vast plain in the distance. Although it was now barren, as long as it was carefully cultivated, this fertile land would surely regain vitality. Moreover, the underground city was already well-defended. As long as the vigilance was strengthened, it could completely resist the invasion of the demons.

"Pass the order down," Zhang Chen continued, "ask the residents of the underground city to strengthen their defenses and expand the scale of the underground farms. Once the situation stabilizes, they will be responsible for providing food supplies to the mountainous areas."

Luna came over and reported: "Sir, 150,000 people have entered the Nanling area. They are dispersing to various valleys to build shelters as planned."

Zhang Chen looked towards the mountains in the south. There, the survivors would build a new home. The underground city on the plain would become an important granary and supply base.

"Let's go," he jumped on his horse, "it's time for us to get going."

Silver Moon returned to his dragon form and hovered over the team to keep watch. The long journey of migration had just begun, but at least they had found hope for survival.

Chapter 641 Outside...Strange plants are growing outside!

Late at night in the Nanling Mountains, a large number of refugees are trudging along.

Zhang Chen was riding on the dragon, his eyelids twitching constantly.

He has been dealing with various affairs these days and has hardly slept.

"My lord, there is a cave ahead," Luna suggested, "you should rest."

Zhang Chen shook his head and said, "There are still many things to do..." Before he could finish his words, he stumbled and almost fell off the dragon.

Upon seeing this, Yin Yue immediately landed aside and transformed into a human form.

Her pair of dragon horns shone silver in the moonlight. "Master, you will collapse if you continue like this."

Zhang Chen sighed.

He knew they were right, this mortal body had indeed reached its limit.

So he ordered the team to camp near the cave.

The cave was relatively dry, so Luna laid out a simple straw mattress.

As soon as Zhang Chen lay down, fatigue came over him like a tide.

But just when he was becoming conscious, he suddenly felt something soft pressing against him.

"Silver Moon?" he asked dazedly.

"Master, go to sleep," the dragon girl said softly. She leaned against Zhang Chen and circulated the dragon energy in her body to dispel the coldness for him. "I will protect you."

Luna also lay down on the other side. The running around these days made them very tired, but they still insisted on protecting their master.
