Chapter 179 - Chapter 179: Chapter 127 The Inescapable Tiger Roar Town (2/2)
Ji Changfeng said, “According to our original route, Tiger Roar Town was supposed to be the safest of the three dangerous areas because we would only pass by five miles from it and not come anywhere near Tiger Roar Town, let alone enter it.”
“But we woke up to find ourselves in Tiger Roar Town, which indicates that we have been targeted by a demon long ago. The demon caused us all to plunge deep asleep and brought us here.”
Su Nan nodded; he had also thought of this.
“Senior, what exactly is the situation with Tiger Roar Town?”
At the moment, he was still unfamiliar with Tiger Roar Town. The most important thing now was apparently to first understand what Tiger Roar Town was.
As he looked around, his brow furrowed.
He noticed that while the people on the street seemed no different from normal people.
But somehow, they all felt strange to him. Something was off.
However, even after looking closely, he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
Ji Changfeng quickly picked up the unconscious Song Zhi and returned to the carriage, then said in a low voice:
“Twenty years ago, Tiger Roar Town was just an ordinary town. But then something happened that turned it into a very dangerous place.”
“The town is called Tiger Roar Town because there is a Tiger Demon on a hill behind the town. Every time the Tiger Demon roars, the people of Tiger Roar Town can hear it clearly.”
Upon hearing this, Su Nan looked out of the carriage window towards the distance.
As it turned out, to the north of the small town was a small mountain range It wasn’t very high, but it stretched for thousands of miles.
“At first, the Tiger Demon did not harm people. But then something happened that made it extremely aggressive. In a single night, it devoured all the people in Tiger Roar Town – over three thousand of them.”
Upon hearing this, Su Nan shuddered, “Three thousand people were eaten? The people here now…”
“They’re not real people!” Ji Changfeng shook his head, his expression grim.
“Not human? Then what are they?”
Ji Changfeng’s voice dropped even lower, seemingly afraid that the people on the street might hear him:
“They are ghosts!”
“The Tiger Demon is not an ordinary demon. Its bloodline is unique and possesses a certain racial talent. It can condense the resentment of the prey it has consumed into ghosts to control.”
“The people we see now are the ghosts formed from the resentment of those who were eaten!”
“These ghosts are unique. They not only retain the memory of their past lives,
but they even retain their lifestyle and habits.”
Upon hearing these words, Su Nan felt a tumult in his heart, “Senior, are you implying that the entire town we’re seeing now is composed of ghosts?” Ji Changfeng nodded solemnly, “These ghosts may not be demons, but each one possesses the strength of a mortal level!”
As Su Nan took another look at the people on the outside street, a chill went down his spine.
Three thousand mortal warriors, and these were only the minions of one demon!
