Jia Tao was not as decisive as he showed. He raised the dagger, but slowly put it down, put it halfway, and then slowly raised it again. It can be seen that he is also struggling internally.
At this moment, Xu Qian felt something strange in the sky. He looked up and saw hundreds of red lights flashing in the distant sky.
Xu Qian ran towards Lin Qiaoni immediately. Jia Tao, who was holding the dagger, was stunned. Unexpectedly, Xu Qian turned around and shouted: "Danger! You should hide too!"
"Come here all of you, hurry up, run over!" Xu Qian called to the people from the Shandong branch. Time was short and there were many people. Xu Qian couldn't take care of everyone. Fortunately, although these people were confused, they were still quite obedient and just acted. It's relatively sluggish.
Jia Tao also noticed a vision in the sky at this time, but he was shocked by the scene and did not react for a while.
Are those - fireworks?
This was the first reaction shared by almost everyone who saw this scene. It's just that the direction of these "fireworks" is reversed, falling from the sky to the ground.
boom! boom! boom!
Hundreds of fireballs hit the ground, making loud noises like rain. One of the fireballs happened to hit the bus. The bus instantly shattered and exploded, killing all the escorts on board.
"A tide of beasts! A tide of beasts is coming!" An unknown voice shouted in the distance, and Jia Tao also realized that this was actually a tide of beasts!
Beast tide? Xu Qian remembered that the "Compilation of Common Sense of the Tang Empire" in the luxurious guest room of the stronghold mentioned that there are monsters in the world of Blue Star. They are different from ordinary beasts, but a kind of beast that can compete with immortal cultivators. group. The Tang Empire has been constantly fighting against monsters, but it has become stable in the past hundred years. Monsters have their own territory and rarely have friction with humans. It can be said that they live in peace and harmony for hundreds of years. People can only see them in various movies and TV dramas of the Tang Dynasty.
Beast tides refer to the horrific phenomenon of monsters invading human society on a large scale. Whenever a beast tide occurs, the affected area will be devastated, with corpses everywhere and devastation everywhere. However, the beast tide has not appeared for a hundred years. Some of the mechanisms and measures used by the Tang Dynasty to prevent the beast tide have long been abandoned or have been in vain. Officials even write letters every year, hoping that the empire can reduce the expenditure budget for the prevention of beast tides in order to increase other aspects of finance. expenditure. But who could have expected that a beast tide that had not been seen in a century would suddenly appear in the second largest city in the Tang Empire tonight.
This is really unscientific. If there is a tide of monsters, it must be in a remote area. Luo City is not close to the territory where monsters gather.
Xu Qian protected Lin Qiaoni and looked at the large number of flying monsters running rampant in the sky, and a sense of doom suddenly arose.
"Take them back first, quickly!" Xu Qian told Lin Qiaoni.
"What about you? Why don't you leave?"
"Luo City is facing a big disaster this time. I'll take a look and maybe I can help."
"This is the Tang Dynasty, not China. What are you helping here? Let's go back together!" Lin Qiaoni really couldn't understand Xu Qian. He was obviously not a warm-hearted person, and he was both a philistine and a lustful person. How could he be trying to be a hero at this time?
"You go first, I have the number plate, there won't be any danger."
"But if I take them back, the score will be mine."
"The score doesn't matter. What's yours is yours. I don't care. Hurry up!" Xu Qian didn't wait for Lin Qiaoni to speak again. He ran to those people and put their arms on the shoulders of the other person one by one.
The ground began to tremble, and Xu Qian sensitively sensed that this meant that the monster's ground troops were not far away.
Xu Qian put the arm of the last person in place and shouted loudly: "That's it, let's go, Mashan! Now!"
Lin Qiaoni was a little reluctant to give up, but she also believed that Xu Qian would not be in danger. After all, with the number plate, he was generally safe. She no longer hesitated, because these dozens of people were holding Xu Qian back.
Dozens of people disappeared in an instant, and Jia Tao stood stunned. Xu Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
Just a second or two after Lin Qiaoni disappeared with 33 people, a burst of fire hit the location where they were before. Because Jia Tao was not far away, he was also affected. With his strength, he would not die if he resisted, but he was still injured. Unavoidable.
At that moment, Xu Qian stood in front of him. Jia Tao didn't have much actual combat experience. What happened tonight had already challenged his nerves. The sudden fireball that fell from the sky caught him off guard. When he opened his eyes and found that Xu Qian had saved him, he felt mixed emotions in his heart. The person he wanted to kill just now had known about his actions for a long time, but he did not attack him and protected him at the critical moment.
"Go quickly, you won't be able to leave until the monster's ground attack arrives."
"I won't leave! You, a Chinese, are staying to fight against the beasts. How can I, the mighty Tang Dynasty Martial Commander, live in an ignoble way?" He had guessed that Xu Qian was Chinese before. When he saw Lin Qiaoni and others disappearing strangely, he felt in his heart Already judged.
"Whatever you want. As long as you don't hold me back," Xu Qian said and left quickly.
Holding back? Jia Tao gritted his teeth. This person was indeed very annoying and he couldn't be fooled by illusions. He was very dissatisfied with Xu Qian's words. At first, he did not think that Xu Qian was stronger than him. Later, he discovered that the truth was not what he imagined. Then he was rescued by this man and was laughed at by him for his low strength. If you don't kill him, this bad breath will come out.
Xu Qian ran a few hundred meters and came to a main road, where he saw countless monsters of different shapes running towards him.
Pedestrians and vehicles on the road are constantly being swallowed by the army of monsters, and cries for help are everywhere. The end of the world is nothing more than this.
The buildings on both sides of the street did not escape the disaster. Many monsters took advantage of their physical strength to directly hit the buildings with brute force. Once or twice, if one did not work, then ten. Gradually, some buildings were already damaged. With the tendency of collapse, it won't be long before the building collapses and the residents above will be wiped out.
The attacks from the sky had caused a lot of damage, and some people in the residential buildings had to flee their homes. Then there were ground attacks. At this time, there were still a lot of ordinary people on the streets. There has been no beast tide for a hundred years. People are no longer as sophisticated as they were a hundred years ago in dealing with the beast tide. These ordinary people naturally live less than a hundred years. They have never experienced such a battle. The beast tide against students in Datang's schools The popularization of self-rescue knowledge is not as good as before. Teachers think it is useless and students do not want to learn it. This has led to the current chaos. Not to mention organized resistance, even if they escape, there is no way to escape.
It is said that a skilled person is bold, so Xu Qian faced the tide of beasts on the ground and rushed directly into the group of monsters. After casually killing three or four monsters, he saw a little girl of five or six years old hiding in the green grass on the roadside. Next to her lay an adult man, and most of her body had been trampled to pieces by the monsters. She should be The girl's father.
The girl was hiding in the green belt, with monsters running wildly on both sides. The little girl sat on the ground hugging her legs, ignoring the monsters around her with her big eyes, staring blankly, with the bright moonlight reflecting on her face. , looking at his father's inhuman body, unable to cry a single tear, his desperate eyes seemed to have seen the scene of his body being trampled to pieces by a monster.
The moment he saw the little girl, Xu Qian had an illusion. He saw his daughter Tongtong in his dream, and saw Xiaomeng who died tragically at the hands of bandits, so he rushed over desperately, knocking away nearly ten monsters, and came to the little girl's side.
A demonic beast discovered that there was a human in front of it. It tried its best to hit this ignorant man to death, but when it ran forward, Xu Qian slapped him without even looking, and the demonic beast's whole body moved in the opposite direction. Then it flew out and knocked down several monster beasts behind it. These monster beasts were knocked to pieces by the companions who rushed up from behind. They fell to the ground and were immediately beaten by thousands of troops behind them. Turn into meat paste.
Xu Qian picked up the little girl with one hand and was about to leave. "Daddy - daddy -" The little girl's body was held in Xu Qian's arms, but he stretched out his hands towards the body on the ground and shouted loudly.
Xu Qian looked at the corpse and could only sigh. He kicked away the charging monster, then grabbed the corpse with one hand and leaped away into the distance.
