Chapter 320 Wild Beasts Attack the Village?

royal palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

After listening to Cao Zhengchun's report, Zhou Chen looked somewhat surprised.

Zhou Chen hadn't expected that such demonic and monstrous things actually existed.

This week, Qian died, but then strangely reappeared in another form.

To put it bluntly, isn't this just ghosts and monsters?

However, considering that even a path like cultivation, which transcends the laws of nature, exists in this world, it's not surprising that there are demons and monsters.

"I understand."

"Have the Imperial Guards search for places with abundant Yin energy. Take care of any place with abundant Yin energy for me."

Zhou Chen knew that with the change in the world and the surge in spiritual energy, ghosts and monsters were most likely to appear in places with dense yin energy.

Once these places with heavy yin energy are dealt with, these strange things can be greatly reduced.

"Old slave obeys the order."

Cao Zhengchun bowed and accepted the order.

After Cao Zhengchun left, Zhou Chen's eyes flickered.

"Even ghosts and monsters have appeared. It seems that this integration with the Wilderness Realm is truly a great test for the Great Zhou."

Zhou Chen thought to himself.

……

the next day.

Early morning of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Early in the morning, civil and military officials entered the palace and walked along both sides of the imperial road, entering the Golden Palace in order of their official rank.

After all the civil and military officials returned to their positions, Emperor Zhou Chen ascended the throne.

"Long live your majesty."

After Zhou Chen sat on the dragon throne, all the civil and military officials knelt down and shouted loudly in unison.

Zhou Chen sat upright on the dragon throne, looking down at the civil and military officials; "All of you, rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Only after receiving the emperor's permission did the civil and military officials dare to stand up.

With the current resurgence of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the power and prestige of Emperor Zhou Chen are growing stronger.

Even though Emperor Zhou Chen sat calmly on the dragon throne, the civil and military officials couldn't help but feel a strange pressure.

"When there is something going on, we will start, and when there is nothing going on, we will retreat."

Cao Zhengchun's sharp voice rang out in the Golden Palace.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

As soon as Cao Zhengchun finished speaking, Xiao He stepped forward.

Zhou Chen looked at Xiao He; "What do you wish to report, my dear minister?"

"Your Majesty, recently many local prefectures have reported incidents of wild animals attacking people."

"In eight prefectures, wild beasts have attacked several villages in packs, and the people in these villages have basically suffered misfortune. The prefectural and provincial guards sent troops to suppress these wild beasts, but they were unsuccessful."

"These beasts seem to have undergone some kind of mutation, and even the guards of each prefecture are having a hard time dealing with them."

"Your Majesty, please make the decision."

Xiao He said loudly.

"Oh!"

"Wild animals attacked people, and even raided the village?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen frowned immediately.

In the past, although there were occasional incidents of wild animals attacking people in various parts of the Great Zhou, they were only rare and occasional, and the attackers were always hunters who went into the mountains.

Under normal circumstances, wild animals will not leave the mountains and fields.

But now, the wild beasts have left the mountains and are even actively attacking human villages.

This is truly astonishing. It seems that this extraordinary phenomenon has not only benefited the people of the Great Zhou, but has also caused some kind of change in the wild beasts of the deep mountains and forests of the Great Zhou.

Zhou Chen pondered for a moment, then looked at Li Yuan, the Minister of War; "Li Yuan, you are the Minister of War. In the name of your Ministry of War, immediately reorganize the military preparedness in all regions, eliminate the old and weak, and strengthen the combat power of the military preparedness in all regions."

"At the same time, deploy the elite of the Divine Martial Guard to various prefectures to wipe out all the wild beasts for me..."

"Furthermore, bounties can be offered to those martial arts practitioners, who can then be used to hunt down wild beasts in the mountains..."

Zhou Chen issued a series of orders.

A village attacked by packs of wild animals is no small matter.

If they are not eradicated, once the wild beasts grow in number, it will not be as simple as attacking villages; they may directly attack local county towns and prefectural cities.

Therefore, Zhou Chen ordered a two-pronged approach: on the one hand, strengthening local military preparedness, and on the other hand, deploying the elite Shenwu Guard to suppress the enemy.

……

Outside Yumen Pass.

Western Capital.

Thirty miles away.

A carriage was speeding towards the western capital.

There were more than fifty guards around the carriage, standing on either side of it.

This carriage was the same one that had escaped from the city that had been breached by the Beast Dynasty.

Originally, there were over a hundred guards around the carriage, but after passing through the Wild Beast Dynasty and fleeing all the way, only about fifty guards remained around the carriage; the rest had died on the road.

After the carriage had been traveling at high speed for more than ten minutes, one of the guards who had been scouting ahead galloped up on horseback.

"Miss, there is a city thirty miles ahead."

After the scout rushed over, he reported to the people in the carriage.

"city?"

"I haven't heard of any other cities within this hundred-mile radius?"

A soft, melodious song, like that of a nightingale, drifted from inside the carriage.

Judging from the soft voice, the person sitting in the carriage must be an exceptionally beautiful woman.

What city is it?

The soft voice from inside the carriage sounded again.

"It is Xidu City. I took a look from afar. The city is quite large and is guarded by soldiers. It doesn't seem to be an ordinary city."

The scouts gave a general account of what they had discovered about the Western Capital.

Western Capital?
The people inside the carriage fell silent after hearing the words of the scouts and guards.

Logically speaking, they should know better than anyone which cities are located within this area spanning thousands of miles.

But this Western Capital City was something I had never heard of before.

Could this be a newly established city?
Meanwhile, on the city wall of Xidu, a burly man in armor stood atop the wall, gazing out thirty miles away.

This burly man was none other than Hua Xiong.

Hua Xiong was ordered to guard the Western Capital. Ever since the strange celestial phenomena occurred, Hua Xiong had already received the imperial decree and was carefully guarding the Western Capital to prevent any accidents from happening.

Having experienced this extraordinary opportunity, Hua Xiong's strength broke through the barrier between heaven and man, achieving the realm of heaven and man.

Furthermore, Hua Xiong is not an ordinary Celestial Realm cultivator; he is considerably stronger than Gao Shun, who is a seventh-grade Celestial Realm cultivator.

"Someone is coming."

"By order of the General, the Flying Bear Army shall assemble."

The Flying Bear Army is a special troop type commanded by Hua Xiong, and it is also one of the four troop types that Zhou Chen has signed in to.

With Hua Xiong's strength at the Celestial Realm, every move within thirty miles of the city could not escape his notice.

Hua Xiong had already noticed the unusual group of people thirty miles outside the city.

Therefore, Hua Xiong immediately ordered the Flying Bear Army to assemble, just in case.

With Hua Xiong's strength, he naturally sensed that the group of people thirty miles outside the city was unusual.

Especially the horse pulling the carriage, it was no ordinary horse at all, it even had scales on its body, Hua Xiong had never seen such a special horse before.
