Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

"Hello, senior." Gao You just looked around and his eyes were fixed on the banyan tree. He held a long sword in his hand, and a talisman that could be activated at any time was hidden in his sleeve. There was also a golden talisman on the sole of his foot, and the eight trigrams were drawn on his back with cinnabar. Gao You saluted respectfully.

Before determining what was right and wrong, Gao You and his junior brother adopted the approach of using courtesy first and then force. Showing weakness was the best option for him and Gao Wen.

"Junior Gaoyou."

"Junior Gao Wen."

Facing a powerful enemy, a reckless attack is the worst option. Gao You wore a gentle smile on his handsome face. "My junior brother and I traveled here. The night before yesterday, we saw a blood-red light rising from this place, so we came here without hesitation. After we got close, we still couldn't find the source of the blood-red light. I was lucky enough to meet you, Senior Shu. I wonder if you have seen or heard anything unusual that could help us catch the monster."

Gao You spoke very nicely, briefly explaining the reasons why he and his junior brother had entered the mountain. He was very humble, performed the courtesy of a junior and explained carefully, giving enough face to Feng Lan, the master of the mountain. Any road monster with a good personality and who had nothing to do with this matter would probably not mind giving him some advice.

Feng Lan glanced at the two of them, hmm, not bad, there is a layer of golden light of merit on their bodies, which is considered thick for ordinary people, and the spiritual power around them seems to be at the third level of Qi Refining. They are only in their twenties, with good talent, solid foundation, and clear features.

"Blood," Feng Lan shook the branches, and countless aerial roots swayed. Gao You had a smile on his face, but his muscles were subconsciously tensed, ready for the banyan tree spirit in front of him to suddenly attack.

"That's what happened. Someone died at the foot of the mountain, and a large number of demons and ghosts came to eat them. There were so many of them that they formed a demonic aura and bloody light."

Feng Lan's mental power twisted into a thin thread and passed into Gao You and Gao Wen's ears. "Do you think my explanation is reasonable?"

Seeing Gao You and Gao Wen's faces tense because of his words, Feng Lan felt relieved, and even the depression of being trapped in one place for several months dissipated a lot.

Well, it’s still fun to tease young people.

"I wonder what happened to these demons?" Gao You silently stopped his fellow apprentice from drawing his sword impulsively, and suppressed his smile. "And why did those people die?"

"Why did people die?" Feng Lan said in a sinister tone. The atmosphere suddenly became quiet and fell into a subtle atmosphere ready to explode. "Because of the soldiers from the Foot Basin Nation."

"I knew it—ah?" Gao Wen drew his sword, and stopped speaking abruptly after he understood Feng Lan's words halfway through his excitement.

"I'm going to say," Feng Lan explained patiently with a smile, "a week ago, soldiers from the Jiaoben Kingdom captured Huicheng. In order to build trenches and city walls, they sent soldiers to the surrounding villages to capture people. The villagers fled into the mountains. I couldn't bear to see them die innocently, so I had to stop the intruders at the foot of the mountain. Who would have thought that they accidentally shot each other to death? The corpses also attracted a large number of demons following the army, causing the demonic aura here to rise to the sky."

Feng Lan sighed, looking helpless. "The mountain was ablaze with blood, corpses, and demons. I had no choice but to drive away those demons that came here to eat people. There were too many of them, so some accidentally escaped, and a few died. I finally cleared out the demon fog and miasma, and then you guys came."

Feng Lan said that what she said was absolutely correct, but she had added some artistic processing. After all, she was really acting in self-defense. If those people didn't come over, why would she take action? She stayed quietly on the mountain. If they wanted to come in, could she stop them?

Since we can't stop it, we can't blame anyone if someone dies.

Gao You and Gao Wen were silent for a while. Gao You, his lips pale, spoke with difficulty, "Huicheng has also fallen?"

"How could Huicheng fall?! Huicheng but, but..." Gao Wen also found it hard to accept. Huicheng is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are several large cities nearby, such as Yucheng and Nancheng. It can be supported quickly, and it is also a transportation hub for the southern battlefield. How could such an important location fall so easily?
