Chapter 38: The battle is deadlocked

However, with a bang, the Five-Fingered Spirit Mountain suppressed and directly smashed the four elite-level fierce beasts to the ground, spurting blood in a big gulp, but Xia Mu himself was unharmed.

The four elite-level fierce beasts were so powerful and invincible, before the overlord-level fierce beasts did not make a move, they were the most powerful existence in the fierce beast group, but now they were injured by a middle-aged man's palm and fell to the city.

The four elite-level beasts roared and crawled out of the pit, bursting in flames and sweeping out, melting the land.

"Soldier to soldier, general to general, how can you not follow the rules!" A smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and he stepped out of the city to confront the four elite-level beasts.

At the same moment, those middle-level monks sitting in the towers everywhere also let out a long roar, joining the resistance of the beast tide, and were fighting against those elite-level fierce beasts.

The lowest of these middle-level cultivators also has the Shentai Secret Realm, and the highest is the middle-aged man who has reached the Five Elements Secret Realm, all of them are wearing strange styles of battle armor, and the weapons in their hands are all varied, but all of them are extremely powerful spiritual weapons.

As soon as the elite-level fierce beasts in the beast herd appeared, they appeared on the head of the city, and the two sides seemed to have made an appointment, and at the same time invested their own backbone, but the difference was that it was those elite-level fierce beasts who couldn't help but do it first.

And all this is just because of a teenager.

Xia Mu had rejoined the resistance of the beast tide at this time, the little boy carried a huge dark gold halberd and rushed on the city, each halberd stabbed out, flesh and blood flew sideways, dozens of fire lions must be swept down the city, it was simply a tiger into the flock, unstoppable, as long as the dark golden halberd was waved, the fire lion in front of him would definitely be blown away, and he would suffer a heavy blow in an instant.

Seeing this, those elite-level fierce beasts were naturally furious, and just when they wanted to make a move, those middle-level cultivators attacked first, not giving them a chance to intervene at all.

At this moment, a long lion roar came from behind the fire lion group under the city.

As soon as they heard this lion's roar, those elite-level fierce beasts turned around and left one after another after a slight hesitation, not making any entanglement with those middle-level cultivators.

The ordinary fire lions that still remained in the city, after the roar came, also rushed to turn around and leave, although they were chased and killed by the monks in the city, but still more than half of the fire lions escaped.

Not only in the south of the city, but also in several other directions, the fierce beast groups also stopped attacking and withdrew, and the tentative attack on the first day ended hastily.

In this battle, both the beast group and the human race suffered casualties to each other, but in general, the casualties of the beast group were more severe, and the number of dead and wounded beasts was as high as more than 100,000. In contrast, the damage of the Terrans in this battle was minimal, but it consumed a lot of spirit stones and defensive equipment, so it is really not good to judge which side has the upper hand.

At this time, the night was halfway over, and the silver-white moonlight shone down like a light veil, and a large number of fierce beast corpses covered the thick layer under the city wall, and at the same time, there were also bursts of lion roars and wolf howls from time to time among the distant beasts.

The monks and warriors who had been fighting at the head of the city for most of the day finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after greeting the monks and warriors who came to exchange defense lines, they all went down from the city with extreme exhaustion, and some were too tired, and even sat directly on the head of the city to meditate and rest.

"Very good, everyone's performance today is very good, the first wave of tentative attacks of the beast tide can be regarded as resisting the past, but everyone must not take it lightly, the night is the real world of fierce beasts, in case the beasts suddenly go and return, then everything will be wasted. Ma Yun, who had been sitting in the south of the city from beginning to end, suddenly appeared, and did not dare to relax at all to urge everyone.

At the same time, he sent several teams to land outside the city, and was responsible for cleaning up the corpses of those fierce beasts, collecting the valuable parts, and then burning the corpses to extinguish, otherwise the corpses of these fierce beasts would begin to decompose after a few days, and it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no plague.

And Xia Mu himself was half leaning at the battlements, looking at the billowing smoke and dust rolled up when the beasts withdrew, although he had been fighting, he basically used pure physical power, and the spiritual power was not consumed, so naturally there would be no fatigue.

"Little Brother Xia, thank you for your hard work, if you hadn't killed the Quartet this time, forcing those elite-level fierce beasts to show up, this would have given us the upper hand in this confrontation, otherwise we don't know what the consequences would become. Ma Yun walked over to Xia Mu and said with a smile on his face from afar.

Dressed in golden armor and with two great swords stuck in his back, he had apparently been secretly guarding the Fire Lion King.

"Senior Ma said with a smile, I can only deal with those low-level fierce beasts, and I am not an opponent when I encounter elite-level fierce beasts. Xia Mu slowly retracted his gaze and shook his head helplessly.

"But if you hadn't forced those elite-level beasts to attack in advance, even if I had arranged for someone to take charge in advance, I'm afraid most of them would have been killed or injured. This is you, if you change to another person, you really can't come and go freely in the fire lion group, and I can't make a direct move, otherwise the fire lion king won't sit idly by. Ma Yun smiled, and then flipped his palm, took out a spirit card and handed it to Xia Mu.

Xia Muxia took the spirit card knowingly. He already knew that these so-called spirit cards were actually a special spirit weapon specially refined by Jingyuan City to help the monks defending the city, which could automatically record the merits of the monks in the beast tide, and once the beast tide was over, the monks could exchange the corresponding treasures at the City Lord's Mansion with the merit points recorded in the spirit cards.

This is also one of the reasons why those monks who are not subordinate to the City Lord's Mansion are willing to obey the dispatch and dispatch.

Xia Mu was flashing the specific information of the spirit card in his heart, and Ma Yun was silent for a while, and suddenly said a word with a strange face, and after Xia Mu heard it, his heart suddenly sank.

"Little Brother Xia, you also have to participate in the battle for the place in the Ten Thousand Realms Tower this time!" came out of Ma Yun's mouth.

"Why did Senior Ma ask this?" Xia Mu's eyes flashed, and he asked quietly.

"It's nothing, if the little brother really wants to participate, then you must be careful during this time, after all, many people don't want to meet an opponent like you in the ring. Ma Yun said this meaningfully, and immediately turned away, without any further meaning.

Xia Mu looked at Ma Yun's back as he gradually moved away, touched a yellowed letterhead in his arms, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.

It seems that someone doesn't want him to appear in the battle for a place in the Tower of Ten Thousand Realms!

Not long after, the defenses of the four city walls had been alternated, and Xia Mu also returned to the City Lord's Mansion with some Jing Yuanwei.

As soon as most of the people returned to their respective rooms, they didn't care about anything else and immediately fell asleep, although Xia Mu was not tired at all, but he still sat on the jade bed and silently ran the mental mantra of the Divine Book Opening Chapter, nourishing the four major acupoints in the body.

A sleepless night, and in the blink of an eye, the stars are scarce.

In the early morning of the second day, the melodious sound of the horn sounded again, and at the same time, the sound of the beast's roar followed, and soon after, the sound of cannons in the direction of the city wall and the shouting of killing began together, kicking off the second siege of the beast tide.

This battle was much more fierce than yesterday, the shouts of the Terran monks and the roars of the beasts were intertwined, from early morning to night, there were constantly monks and warriors injured and fell, and then the new forces that had been waiting on the side were immediately replenished, and in just one day, the central square was full of many wounded.

It wasn't until midnight that the herd temporarily retreated again.

When Xia Mu came to the central square, he saw that there were wounded people with missing arms and legs everywhere, most of them were covered in blood, and they looked extremely miserable.

Not only Xia Mu, but many monks who were worried about this battle walked out of the house, and when they saw the scene in front of them, they all showed expressions of disbelief, and someone immediately stepped forward to ask about the details of today's battle.

Only then did I know that the number of fierce beasts besieging the city today was several times that of yesterday, and there was also an extremely terrifying fierce bird, the Nether Bird.

This fierce bird has no hair and flesh on its body, just like a skeleton, they are not only stronger than steel, but also can spit poisonous mist from their mouths, once a monk is contaminated, the flesh and blood will be corroded, if not treated in time, these poisonous fog will erode all parts of the body, but will not be poisonous immediately, but become a zombie-like existence.

This kind of fierce bird has never appeared in the previous beast tide before, it is very likely to come from the depths of the Southern Wilderness, Pu appeared and brought heavy casualties to the monks defending the city, if it were not for the rapid reaction of the middle-level monks in the city, several times to help, today's battle is probably going to be extremely dangerous.

But now, once this Nether Bird appears in large numbers, it will immediately restrain some of the middle-level monks in charge of sitting in the city, which will greatly increase the pressure on the defensive battle at the head of the city, and there is even news that the middle-level monks have been injured and fallen.

Hearing the answers of these dismissed personnel, the mood of everyone present gradually became heavy.

Everyone vaguely felt that this beast tide did not seem to be as simple as before, and there seemed to be an invisible big hand pushing it secretly, which made people wonder.

Xia Mu stood at the edge of the square and listened for a while, then turned around and left without saying a word, the expression on his face was always unwavering.

He was indeed indifferent to all this in his heart, and there were tall ones when the sky fell, even if this Jingyuan City was really breached, the target of those overlord-level elite-level fierce beasts was also the middle and high-level cultivators in the city, and if he wanted to escape by taking advantage of the chaos, he still had a great chance compared to others.

What's more, behind Jingyuan City is the Tang Kingdom, one of the twelve heavenly blessed lands in Dongzhou, and it is impossible to watch Jingyuan City being broken, maybe there are already strong people of the Tang Kingdom on the way to come at this moment.

As for those guys who secretly don't want Xia Mu to appear in the qualification ring, even if they have the intention to assassinate him, they don't dare to do it at this moment, after all, the streets are full of city guards rushing back and forth at this moment, not to mention that Xia Mu generally stays in the city lord's mansion, and if he wants to kill people under the noses of a group of Jing Yuanwei, unless the other party is willing to dispatch high-level monks in the immortal realm.

Shaking his head, Xia Mu no longer thought about this, but returned to the Red Mansion Pavilion.

Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that it will not be long before the first batch of guards they have replaced will be back on the city.

Sure enough, in the early morning of the third day, when the morning sun had just risen, a Jing Yuanwei came over to inform Xia Mu to gather at the city gate.
