196 The Greater Demon Monarch in Wu State

The two Great Solar Godfiends stood there in a daze. They watched helplessly as the green snake demoness retracted her black chain and domain. She then used the flowing water to vanish.

“The green snake demoness fled?” The two exchanged glances.

“Junior Sister, Junior Brother.”

The two stopped casting their forbidden Godfiend spells and hoisted up the two Godfiends’ corpses from the river with their Quintessential Essence. Junior Brother Yang and Junior Junior Sister Chen had fought with them for a short while, but now they were dead. This made the two Great Solar Godfiends extremely sad.

“What should we do now?” asked the armored man.

“Archean Mountain has given orders for Godfiend teams to stop reinforcing the cities once a Godfiend dies during a battle,” said Zhou Fu softly. “Without Junior Sister Chen and Junior Sister Yang, our team has lost half its strength. We can’t continue fighting the demon monarchs.”

Although they had only lost two Indestructible Godfiends, one was skilled with domains while the other was skilled with illusions. They provided great help to the entire team.

Meng Chuan frowned. Thirty seconds ago? That was when I killed the fox demon monarch. The snake demoness must’ve fled immediately once she learned of Demon Monarch White Fox’s death through the token.

“Bring these two juniors back,” said Meng Chuan with a sigh. “Leave the other places to me.”

With that said, he disappeared into the horizon.

“With Senior Brother Meng around, Gu Mountain Prefecture’s various cities will soon be safe,” said Zhou Fu. “We don’t have to worry.”

“Yes.”

The two Godfiends brought their companions’ corpses to the nearest county city and waited for Earth Net to make arrangements.



Meng Chuan searched through all the areas that needed help thoroughly. He even checked the cities that hadn’t requested for help. Whenever he spotted smoke, he would immediately head over and check on the situation.

Whoosh.

In fact, many places in the human world had been attacked by demons during this period of time. Flames of war erupted everywhere, and everyone was in a panic.

People in the village forts had never expected the village forts to become dangerous as well. In the past, demons occasionally attacked them, but it didn’t happen very often. Also, those attacks never really did too much damage to the village forts. However, they never expected demon monarchs to attack them. The lucky village forts lost 20 to 30 percent of their population before a Godfiend arrived. The unlucky ones were completely wiped out!

It was truly tragic.

In comparison, the cities were much safer. This was because Godfiends would rescue cities first! Since the cities were large, the number of casualties was relatively low. The larger the city, the safer it would be.

For example, the imperial capital, Archean City, Luo Tang City, Calm Sea City, and the state capitals were not attacked because powerful Godfiends guarded them! Therefore, families—that were somewhat capable—wanted to move to these bigger cities.

Some Godfiend family clans would arrange for a portion of their clansmen to move to large cities like the state capitals. This was also to ensure that the clan could survive. The weaker clans wanted to move to prefecture cities. Those slightly capable hoped to move to a county city.

This caused all the village forts’ population to decrease gradually. As the demons attacked repeatedly, the number of people in the village forts gradually decreased as they migrated to various cities. This raised the prices of houses in the cities greatly. Life in the city would become harder as more people migrated to cities on a large scale. The price of food rose since it was short in demand, and farms and plantations needed more manpower.

Some people even left the cities and began farming on a large scale. They lived out in the fields, lowering the chances of a demon monarch attacking them.

Farming would become a high-income industry in the future, but it was also one of the riskiest industries. The death rate was naturally high if one stayed outside the city for long periods of time.

However, as long as the income was high enough, some people would ultimately be willing to risk their lives to earn money.
