Moreover, Maria was more concerned about the other party's words than his actions.

"north?"

"Well, the North."

Shu spoke softly, his tone sounding a little weak.

But fortunately, today's action has ended. She let out a breath, silently retracted her feet, and lowered her eyes slightly.

In the north of Yan Country, besides Ursus, there is another thing...

"Evil?"

Maria blinked.

Back when she was in Kazdel, she already knew that the so-called evil demon was just a problem caused by the restless awakening of her umbilical cord.

Maria has wanted to solve these problems for a long time, but she has not taken any action due to time and action schedule reasons.

And when Shu mentioned this...

Maria raised her head and looked at the other person.

"Yes, she has an infection."

Her words were quiet and her eyes were silent.

"But at the time, no one noticed the problem. Everyone was just happy. Shennong had brought back better seeds, and everyone could really live a good life without worries about food and clothing..."

"That's what I thought at the time."

"But I didn't notice the pain the teacher was in at that time."

"Looking back now, perhaps the teacher's crying while sleepwalking was a reminder to me..."

"But, at that time, I didn't find anything..."

Shu spoke slowly, his eyes becoming increasingly lonely and uneasy.

Maria didn't know what to say at this time.

I could only sit quietly opposite her and listen to her past.

"Later, the demonic power followed the seeds and began to take root and sprout in this land..."

"By the time I discovered it, the land had already been eroded..."

As Shu spoke, he looked up and sighed.

"This land shouldn't be suitable for growing food..."

"So, you used your power to temporarily suppress the evil demon's power?"

Maria spoke, and she understood the cause and effect of what the other party said.

"Yes."

Shu took a deep breath and stood up silently.

"This was my mistake back then... Others might not have noticed, but as the person closest to the teacher, I should, and must, have seen her problem... But I didn't think about it at all at the time. I was simply immersed in my bright hopes for the future."

“That’s what led to the current situation.”

"As the most important grain-producing area of ​​Yan Nation, the Great Wilderness must not have any problems... But today, the power of the evil demon has already eroded the entire land..."

"What I'm doing now is simply trying to make up for the loss."

As Shu spoke, he also clenched his fists.

Maria also gradually fell silent during this period.

"Do you think this is your problem?"

"……Um."

Perhaps it was because he was rarely so frank with others, Shu was silent for a while, then nodded slightly, with a hint of decadence in his raised eyes.

"So... you're going to stay here? To suppress the demonic power?"

"That's the only thing I can do to make amends."

The girl's words were so soft and so powerless.

Maria didn't say anything more, but just looked at the girl calmly.

Looking at the other person sitting on the chair, curled up...

Outside, the moonlight flickers...

……

Maria finally settled down at Shu's house.

The main thing is that Maria really has nowhere to go.

She should have chosen to return to Baizao at this time to see if those people had found the method she wanted to deal with the sky beast.

But the matter of millet forced her to stop.

No matter whether it was an evil thing or millet was the incarnation of the year, Maria could not just watch her consume her life bit by bit to nourish the land.

Can……

“Has it been integrated into the entire land?”

Maria frowned and gradually fell silent.

In Maria's eyes, the power of the evil spirits was not a problem. What really troubled her was that the power of the evil spirits was surging under every inch of arable land in the entire Dahuang City.

Although millet isolated it, it was only a temporary blockage.

There is no way to fundamentally solve the problem.

In this situation, how can she deal with the evil spirits in this land?

Maria was silent.

After thinking for a long time, she sighed in distress.

It was already noon, but the weather didn't seem very good.

Thick clouds obscured the shape of the sun, and only the bright light told everyone that it was still daytime.

And in the distance from her, there were many people dealing with something.

The atmosphere was harmonious.

But this peace did not last long. Suddenly, a scream broke the tranquility.

"There's an evil creature! Everyone, run!"

After hearing this, the farmers who had been working diligently in the fields quickly put down their farm tools and began to evacuate.

Although nervous, Maria could see that these people were moving in a very orderly manner.

It's like it was prepared long ago.

Apparently, this isn't the first time something like this has happened.

Maria also frowned.

After thinking for a while, Maria dodged to the side of a farmer and temporarily caught him.

"what happened?"

Maria asked.

But the other party was obviously a little flustered and his breathing was uneven.

"Hey, girl, what are you still doing here?! The evil creature has appeared again! Come with us to avoid the disaster!"

The dark-skinned old man didn't have time to explain, he grabbed Maria's hand and planned to take her to seek refuge.

But what surprised him was that Maria's body was like a nail, firmly stuck to the ground and could not be moved at all!

"this?!"

The old man was stunned.

But Maria shook her head slightly.

"Don't worry about me...what's that evil thing you just mentioned?"

"Evil things are evil things, what else could it be?"

Perhaps he was too flustered, the old man did not expect that Maria in front of him was a complete stranger. He just spoke nervously.

"These things have only suddenly appeared in recent years... No one knows how they came about. We just know they suddenly pop out of the ground and kill anyone they see. They're very dangerous!"

"We don't have the ability to deal with this thing. Every time it appears, it is handled by the Heavenly Master... Sigh, why am I telling you all this, little girl, hurry up and leave!"

The old man said this and tried to pull Maria again.

But Maria shook her head slightly and let go of the other person's hand.

"Do not worry about me."

She said, turned around and disappeared from the spot.

The old man was also watching this scene, his face turned pale with fright!

……

"Is it the power of the devil?"

Feeling the familiar breath in the air, Maria quickly realized that the so-called evil creature was actually a demon!

Can……

"Didn't Shu use his own strength to suppress these evil forces?"

"Why does it appear again?"

Maria was a little confused.

But with such doubts, she quickly flashed to the scene where the evil creature appeared.

And here, Shu arrived at the scene early.

She had sharp eyes, holding a strange stick in her hand, and staring at the monster in front of her that seemed to be surging black mist.

She clenched her teeth while taking a deep breath.

"Woo——"

The monster growled and made threatening gestures towards it.

"Millet?"

Maria walked forward and frowned when she saw the situation here.

"How is this going?"

“…It’s my problem.”

Shu was silent for a few moments and then sighed slightly.

She stared at the evil demon, lowered her body, and assumed a fighting stance.

"I neglected the interweaving of power underground and failed to restrain all the evil spirits. I accidentally let it escape."

How big is the entire Dahuang City?

Even if Shu has tried her best, it is impossible for her to protect every inch of land in Dahuang City.

There are always some places that she unconsciously neglects or forgets to check.

Once a loophole appears in the network of suppression, these evil demons will rush out without hesitation and wantonly destroy everything around them.

What's even more terrifying is that if the delay is too long, these evil forces will continue to run out from this loophole... At that time, it will be meaningless for her to release her own power to blockade other areas.

To do this, they must eliminate each other as quickly as possible!

"Maria, you can..."

Shu gritted his teeth and tried to ask Maria for help.

But before she could finish her words, the ferocious demon in front of her suddenly began to retreat as if it had seen something terrifying.
