"Elder! Elder!"
Breathless shouts then broke into the tense atmosphere that had fallen silent. The tribal soldier who had interrupted the battle and reported the news also staggered in as Xue Ling Huan Bing predicted at this time. into the crowd: "No, it's not good... it's not good..."
"The beast tide is coming!"
He tried hard to calm his breathing while delivering the thunderous news to everyone: "The second wave of beasts! They are coming!"
"Well, they are finally here." Amidst the exclamations of countless Hulun tribesmen onlookers, Humobei, who was sitting in the middle of the seat, raised his eyebrows: "After all, it has been so long. Taking a breather, they have shown enough kindness to us."
"It is also possible that our previous final blow caused enough damage to them, so that they have never recovered." Hu Canan on the side replied with a sneer: "Well done! It's time to settle the general ledger!"
"The accounts of our dead tribesmen have not yet been settled with them!"
Amid the sounds of panic and retreat from the surrounding tribesmen, the three elders sitting there quickly began to respond to the command and arrangements. Standing in the chaos, Ellena The hand holding the handle of the knife kept clenching and unclenching, and finally a call from Hu Tingdong called him back: "Okay, now is not the time to care about this farce."
"You adventurers should think so too, right?" The old man on crutches looked in the distance in the direction of Xue Ling Huan Bing, and the gentle and elegant smile that had always been maintained at the corner of his mouth slowly disappeared: "If nothing happens, please leave quickly."
"It doesn't matter, we have bought enough time anyway." He stretched out his hand to stop Gedman behind his palm, and Xue Ling Huan Bing's voice that sounded like he was talking to himself then followed up: "— —I am very happy to see that this misunderstanding can end in a peaceful way. If you are willing to let us go, we will naturally get it."
"Then I'll see you later."
Blinking her eyes, she saluted in the direction of the elders who were still explaining the combat and response methods, and then stared at Ellen in front and some of the Hulun warriors who had not dispersed around them. Under his gaze, he turned around and left this place gracefully. He cast his last glance towards the direction where the dashing white figure was leaving. Hu Mobei also had an imperceptible look of confusion on his face. He raised his hands and arranged for his subordinates who were just about to stand up. The figure also paused in mid-air for a moment, and finally sat back slowly: "Those Sioux people, how are they doing now?"
"They are still there." One of the several Libei army generals who were obeying the order also reported: "Since we implemented... the isolation strategy, they have not made any moves."
"What about Surtu?"
"Of course it's still there-"
"Elder! Lord Elder!"
Another urgent sound sounded among the countless running people, and the wind passing by seemed to become much tighter due to the sudden change in the atmosphere: "The demon wolves have appeared! They are the vanguard this time!"
"Vanguard? It seems that the other side's aggression is escalating." After swatting away the general who complained in front of him, Hu Mobei turned around and grinned in the direction of the visitor: "Shrink the front, and pull the front to After the scorched earth line, leave more space for the cavalry to attack."
"But in this way, our cavalry will become deeper. Once we lose the support of the formation-"
"There is no other way than to believe in the strength of our warriors."
Interrupting his subordinate's slightly worried words, the corners of Hu Mobei's mouth rose more obviously as he frowned: "Only the truly strong can survive in the never-ending black tide - every day When the beast tide comes every year, I will say the same thing, if you don’t have such confidence and ability, you will only become the bait of the endless abyss.”
"It is impossible for the Hulun people to show their weakness in front of these abyss. The Hulun people will only become stronger because of this." He turned around and said this, and his eyes full of inexplicable meaning also fell towards In the gloomy sky: "We no longer have the extra power to protect the weak, whether it is people outside the clan or people within the clan."
"I hope you can understand what Elder Hu Mobei said." He stretched out his hand and waved to the subordinates on the side. Hu Jianan also showed a rare expression of agreement: "Don't be resentful. This will only benefit you, not harm." .”
"In the face of a catastrophe, everyone should unite as one and try to protect as many tribesmen as possible." Hu Tingdong's old voice also sounded in everyone's ears: "Go, Cangdong Army, and protect the people in the east." Guard the direction well. If you relax even a little bit, all that awaits you is destruction."
"There shouldn't be too much pressure on the east side. After all, no matter how powerful and cunning those beasts are, they probably won't send too many troops to bypass such a long distance." Humobei rubbed his chin. Standing up: "In comparison, the direction that the Libei Army and the Shinan Army should be responsible for is more dangerous. Now that the Kexi Army has rotated to the front line, we-"
"Report!"
The third urgent voice then sounded around the temporary command post formed in this martial arts training ground. The voice that hurriedly sounded in everyone's ears also followed the sudden appearance of a new tribal soldier at the edge. Bloom: "The Behemoth has appeared! The cavalry formation has collapsed! We need support!"
"The number is twenty! This is just the number visible to the naked eye!"
"So many high-level units." He let out a sigh, and Hu Mobei's deep voice slowly sounded out among the gasps from all around: "But they are willing to spend so much money, how can we There is not so much blood to bet...what about the southern and northern fronts?"
"The Libei Army and the Shinan Army have been deployed to both sides for defense, and the frontline herd has also been blocked from the front line." The tribal soldier who reported the report hesitated for a moment: "But-"
"There seems to be some accident between our front and the beast tide's front."
The dancing wind followed the man's voice and turned to the high sky filled with clouds. Finally, it slowly settled in the sight of the beast tide and the cavalry confronting each other near the northwest. For some reason, the beasts had appeared in this place. The "black cloud" on the ground composed of countless beasts began to become crowded and blocked as time passed, but it refused to move forward even half a minute before an obvious arc. The vast grassland was also covered in a large area of obvious black with the emergence of this black tide. Groups of wild beasts of various sizes, full of wild aura, also roared ferociously outside the boundary line between black and green, and they bared their teeth. He stared at the little human standing at the far end of the arc, his eyes widened, as if the existence of this person had become a stopper blocking the progress of all the beasts present: "...yo."
"They're all here."
As if he was receiving an incoming visitor, Duan Qing, who was being watched by countless red-eyed beasts, spoke in a low voice and showed a relaxed smile to the front: "Welcome to the 'territory' we just completed. If you are not afraid of death, then just rush in."
"Ouch!"
As if they couldn't stand the provocation of the humble and insignificant human in front of them, several beasts scattered around the arc suddenly rushed through the crowded arc with their own different roars. However, the body and the sharp teeth and claws full of lethality did not last a few steps. They turned into ashes and disappeared in the wind in the appearance of rapid aging: "Ouch, aren't there still a few who have the courage? He’s a guy, not bad, not bad.”
"What we need is 'braves' like you to contribute." Snapping his fingers in his hand, Duan Qing slowly raised an ancient harp in his hand: "Come on, give your lives one by one Offer it up, offer it up to your great—"
"Hey, can you stop being so stupid?" Then the voice from the Snow Spirit Fantasy Ice on the other side of the magic communication stone sounded in his arms: "And are you really okay? This magic circle will not affect To yourself?"
"Of course there's no problem."
Looking at the scattered corpses that were still rushing towards us and then disappeared instantly like dried powder, Duan Qing replied with a relaxed expression: "No matter how close the virtual game is to reality, there are still many things in this world. Rules cannot affect the existence of players, and this is especially true in the free world. The innate character status of all our characters in this world is almost determined based on the physical status in reality."
"So in the face of forces that can cause changes in basic physical conditions such as age and gender, it is difficult for players to be permanently affected." He raised his free hand, as if pulling it from under the grass in front of him. A large piece of emerald green thread: "Of course, it is still possible to have a momentary impact, but as long as you are resurrected, these 'negative states' can be eliminated instantly."
"That's the crux of the matter! You're not—"
"It doesn't matter, I can't die."
Looking at the traces of energy gradually gathering from the silk thread in his hand, Duan Qing's smiling mouth tilted a little: "My life energy will naturally be absorbed by this magic circle, but I am the one who controls it, I can Replenish it with the life energy absorbed by those beasts.”
"Because none of you know how to operate it, so this step can only be done by me." He scattered the threads between his fingers, and the rising radiance was also consistent with the magic that had already been engraved on the grass. The rays of light intertwined with each other: "Considering the next step of the plan - it is even more appropriate for me to be in charge here."
"Yes, but what if something happens to the life circle?" Xue Ling Huanbing's increasingly worried voice sounded in his arms: "What if there are problems such as malfunctions and backlash, your life will be destroyed instead?" If all the energy is swallowed up——"
"My experience value might become negative again, right?" He said the next conclusion for the other party, and Duan Qing's thin figure stood taller as he faced the endless tide of beasts. Fen: "This is natural. If you master such a powerful power for a while, you should naturally pay a correspondingly heavy price."
"If you want to prevent me from turning into a wisp of smoke here, I can only rely on your performance."
The range extended several hundred meters back along the direction of Duan Qing. Xueling Huanbing, who had already arrived here, also showed a gnashing expression. After putting away the communication magic stone, she also raised it than herself. The body of the sniper rifle was a little longer, and a huge warhead tied to the muzzle was fired towards the group of beast monsters at the far end: "You guy!"
"Always saying these worrying things!"
The warhead dragging the flames fell into the black tide in the distance, followed by the expected huge explosion and air waves. Some of the beasts were blown away by the air waves to this side of the arc. Later, the same mummies were entangled with invisible green silk threads, and together with the billowing smoke and dust, they were wiped out in front of Duan Qing's eyes: "You can't just rely on my bombing to help you fill the balance!"
"It's okay, as long as it angers them or makes them realize that they can only get beaten if they stand still."
Reaching out and scanning the ferocious faces of the increasingly restless beasts, Duan Qing's fingers fell on the surface of the harp between his left arm: "They are the only ones who plan to start a group charge regardless of everything -"
"Only then can our plan be realized perfectly."
The tinkling sound of the piano sounded as Duan Qing's fingers moved in the center of the battlefield where the green light gradually rose. The side of the arc-shaped grassland occupied by the spreading emptiness was immediately eroded by a large number of black beasts. , with the sound of the piano, the emerald-colored energy suddenly crossed the corners of the entire battlefield like a rotating storm, erasing all the black particles in it like a blackboard eraser: "It's such a pity, if You guys decided to go up together at the beginning when I didn’t have enough energy base, maybe you can really make it down.”
"Both sides, both sides!" Snow Spirit Huanbing's loud reminder sounded again in his arms: "More beasts are rushing in! They are outflanking us from the north and south!"
"Don't worry, the 'life-absorbing magic circle' covers the entire Hulun area." Shaking his head, Duan Qing turned to raise the harp in his hand high above his head: "As long as Violet follows If you operate it in the way explained——"
"boom."
He uttered an onomatopoeia with his lips, and the harp raised high also made a series of melodious tinkling spring water sounds. The green storm, which was bigger than the whirlwind just now, also swarmed towards the eyes with Duan Qing as the center. The black tide swept over.
