There are three people sitting on the bell tower. The middle-aged man in rich clothes is Li Lianshan. The man wearing dark armor and a long sword hanging on his waist is the general Song Yinglong. The other one is the old man guarding the tower. Everyone only knows his surname is Ge, but his full name is unknown.
It was the old man who was guarding the bell tower who spoke first, "Something is wrong, this beast tide is too wrong. In the past eighty years, the old man has experienced eight large and small beast tides, and five level one beast tides." times, twice at the second level, once at the third level, but I have never seen a situation like this."
Li Lianshan's eyelids twitched slightly. He naturally knew the reason and simply kept silent.
The town general Song Yinglong frowned, "Mr. Ge, what do you think is abnormal?"
"First of all, we have to start with the reason for the outbreak of the monster tide. As we all know, after the monster beasts practice to a certain level, they can open their spiritual intelligence, and even refine their cross bones and transform into human form. In other words, the top leaders of the monster beast clan are Just like us humans, they have wisdom."
Song Yinglong nodded and continued to listen.
"But the high-level monster beasts are wise, but that does not mean that the ordinary livestock living below are also wise. Areas where monster beasts live like Black Wind Ridge are almost all forbidden areas for humans, and few humans set foot there. If things go on like this, the group of monster beasts will change. Too bloated…”
Song Yinglong immediately thought of something and said, "Are you saying that the reason why the beast tide broke out is a way to eliminate the evil within the demon beast?"
Mr. Ge nodded, "This is not a crucial secret, it's just that it hasn't spread widely. It's normal for you not to know."
"Although in our opinion, their living space is very large, the monsters themselves do not produce, and there are only so many resources in the entire area. Once you gain spiritual intelligence and embark on the path of spiritual practice, the resources consumed will be doubled. growth, so they cannot feed too many of their tribesmen, and in fact, they may not necessarily regard those unenlightened beasts as tribesmen.”
"Then what does this have to do with today's events?"
"Understanding their purpose, it is not difficult to understand their actions. You can think about it, is every outbreak of the beast tide rampant, fearless of death, until it is completely extinguished? That's because they are meant to If you want to die, if you can pass the beast tide and expand your survival area a little more, that would be great."
Song Yinglong understood, "So, if it is a normal beast tide, those monster beasts will not stay outside, but rush in directly!"
Mr. Ge nodded solemnly and said, "That's right. And according to time, Heifeng Ridge should be cleaned up every ten years. It's not time yet."
"Naturally, we can't guess about non-human beings based on our thinking. The most important thing right now is to mobilize the power of the whole town to block the beast tide. Mr. Ge, you have experienced a third-level beast tide. Do you have any advice for us? "Li Lianshan was eager to divert the topic away from this aspect. If you are too old to die, you are a thief. After some careful consideration, the old man thought it was vaguely close to his true thoughts. Li Lianshan was afraid.
In addition to the Level 3 Beast Tide in Chiba Town, he was indeed not in the town. It would be best if he could copy the answer.
The old man shook his head, "Qianye Town cannot stop the level 3 beast tide. If a group of 3,000 heavy armored soldiers did not happen to pass by Qianye Town and came to help, Qianye Town would have been gone."
Li Lianshan's heart skipped a beat, and he panicked at the moment, "What if we only stay for two days?"
"Do you have foreign aid?" Song Yinglong glanced at him and asked.
Mr. Ge looked at the sky and said, "Do your best and obey fate."
…
Li Lianshan walked down the bell tower. He was a businessman, and it was his subconscious instinct to pursue profits, but some money must be spent with life.
Shen Qingshu asked him to ride a tiger. From the beginning to the end, from the moment the two met, he only gave him one way and no choice. If he had refused at the beginning, he should at least be weaned now.
"Dad, Uncle Song, have you finished talking? Please assign me a task quickly. This is my first time encountering a beast tide. I have been practicing very hard in the Baiyun Sect in the past few years. It just so happens that I take this opportunity to show off my skills and fight for The sect will win glory, and I will fight for you, dad." Li Yuxiu was eager to give it a try, pulling Li Lianshan's arm and shaking it.
"Nonsense!" However, this time, for the first time, Li Lianshan did not give her a good look and roughly shook off Li Yuxiu's hand.
Li Yuxiu was startled, and tears couldn't help flowing from her eyes, "Dad?"
"I'm sorry, Yuxiu, my father is doing this for your own good. It's a tide of beasts, not a trick from your sect. The dangers involved are beyond your imagination, especially with your current state, it's even more impossible for my father to let you go. Join the battle ahead. From today on, you will stay at home and not allowed to go anywhere. You guys, keep an eye on the second young lady!"
"Yes! Master."
In Li Lianshan's eyes, he had many children, but as a Baiyun Sect disciple and child, he only had one, and he could only have one. Li Yuxiu asked to join the battle, but he refused almost without thinking.
"Ah dad!!"
"Second Miss, let's go!"
Li Yuxiu was sulking. She just thought it was Li Lianshan who was worried about her safety and was no longer afraid. However, she secretly made up her mind and must find ways to sneak into the battlefield. It would bring glory to the sect and show her father's face. In fact, it was all fake.
She just wanted her sweetheart to see her highlight moment when she came back.
'I think by then, senior brother should be proud of me. '
'My dad still treats me like a little girl, waiting. After I show off my skills in the beast tide, I want to see what his face is like. It's a pity that the senior brother and senior sister are not here, otherwise, How can a mere beast tide become so rampant under the swords of our three Baiyun Sect disciples? '
With a calculation in her mind, Li Yuxiu pretended to calm down, returned to Li's house, closed the door, and ignored the two servants guarding outside her door. Instead, she packed up her clothes, picked up her sword, and began to look at her room. , thinking about where to sneak out of the Li family house.
This kind of antique house attic cannot actually contain people at all. There are too many loopholes. Windows and roofs are all ways to escape as long as you are willing to do it. What's more, Li Yuxiu is only locked up, and his hands, feet and mobility are not restricted.
Li Lianshan is very busy and has no time to go home. As the largest squire in the town, he is actually managing the town most of the time. When the beast tide comes, he has to command from the center regardless of emotion or reason. This also makes Li Yuxiu The success rate of escape is greatly increased.
At midnight, Li Yuxiu, who had closed her eyes and was dozing, opened her eyes, tapped her toes, and landed lightly on the beam according to the originally planned route. She used both hands to pull off the tiles on the roof, leaving just enough space for one person to pass through. Kongdao, as flexible as a loach, got out of the house. Under the moonlight, the girl opened her arms and breathed in the cool air.
It just feels like embracing freedom.
And almost at the same time, under the Li family's house, the tip of the fruit turned completely red, and a strange aroma that could not be completely captured by the human sense of smell spread outwards, centered on the Li family, like ripples of water, starting with a slight , gradually getting stronger and stronger, forming huge waves of fragrance.
It passed through the town, floated over the high wall, and was caught in the breath of tens of thousands of monsters.
In an instant, pairs of green and red eyes all shined at Qianye Town, and screams came one after another.
Li Yuxiu also felt something abnormal in the air, and her baby-fat face turned red with excitement.
"Just in time? That would be great!"
At the same time, the people patrolling the high wall also noticed something strange and immediately sounded the gong.
He shouted with an almost trembling voice: "The beast tide is coming!"
Yes, it's coming, and it started without any warning. Under the moonlight, you can only vaguely see shadows moving quickly, and no more movement can be seen, but the wave hidden in the darkness is the most terrifying.
Cao An felt calm inside. He opened his eyes and saw that the high wall was now brightly lit with fire. He was about to pat the little fat man next to him, but he turned over and threw himself in front of the giant crossbow.
He said hastily: "Brother Cao, arrow!"
Hearing this, Cao An grabbed a wooden spear-like arrow next to him and handed it over. At this time, he saw that Shen Sheng had already put on special gloves, with his feet against the corner, leaning forward, holding the strong arms. Bowstring, pull back.
On the strong arms, there are many sinews and veins, and the muscles are bulging high, like gods!
A flash of admiration flashed in Cao An's eyes. It was a kind of strength and beauty full of primitiveness and wildness. It was hard not to love it, but he didn't want it to grow on him, because it meant that he would not be able to advance through the current martial arts path.
Zhong Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly and aimed in the direction. Cao An picked up the mallet with both hands and smashed down the mechanism. With a buzzing sound, the entire giant crossbow vibrated violently, and even the flesh on Zhong Zhan's body trembled.
Almost at the same time, harsh buzzing sounds were heard one after another in the arrow towers evenly distributed on the high wall, and arrows like wooden spears roared out, carrying the signal of death, pursuing its path. Target.
Cao An tensed his nerves. He knew very well that if he tried his best to help now, he was also helping himself. Among the tens of thousands of beasts, Dian Wei alone would never be able to break out. Ten thousand enemies, even at the peak of Dian Wei's lifetime. Even if there is no time, it can’t be done.
What's more, the strength of Dian Wei in his hands has not reached his peak.
Across this world, he only made two puppets. Song Que gave it to Li Yuxiu, and Dian Wei left it to himself. Firstly, it was due to time constraints, and secondly, he had no usable materials. Yanshi was a A money-burning career.
In just ten breaths, the beast wave was almost swarming under the high wall. The two of them had fired twenty-two arrows in succession. Under the light of the fire, Fatty Shen's face looked a little pale, especially those pairs that should have been specially trained. There was blood oozing faintly on the arm, and the bulge on the arm seemed even more exaggerated, as if it might burst at any time.
Cao An's head tightened and he looked at Shen Sheng, "Fat man, stop!"
He was heavy but did not listen. He pulled the bowstring with both arms and pulled back again. Big beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
Cao An cursed: "If you continue like this, your hands will be useless. It's life-threatening. Stop pulling. The beast tide is approaching, and the giant crossbow won't be of much use!"
But Zhan Zhan grabbed the spear and put it up, "That's just the forward ones approaching, there are others behind them. Besides, this is the life of our arrow slaves!"
Either live in seclusion for the rest of your life, or shine all the light on the arrow tower.
