Chapter 34: The Beast Tide is Coming
"Roaring ......"
In the depths of the primeval mountain forest, there was a sudden dull roar, which shook the mountains and caused the mountains to shake, the boulders to roll down, and many towering ancient trees to break, and the earth to shake.
At this moment, the wind was howling, the ancient trees were shaking, and the sky of the Fierce Beast Mountain Range was shrouded in a dense "dark cloud".
On the ground, a giant lion with golden-red hair rushed out of the mountain forest, its fangs exposed, and rushed towards Jingyuan City.
They are huge, but they are not clumsy, like meteors with flames opening the way in front of them, and behind them, there are a large number of fierce beasts, like a torrent of thunder, a large area of black pressure.
The wind was howling, the ground was trembling, many ancient trees were broken, and patches of fierce beasts ran wildly, leveling the mountains, and surging out from the depths of the fierce beast mountain range, huddled together, all powerful.
"Whew......"
A wolf howl came from the mountain range, shattering the rocks, and between the shaking of the peaks, a cyan giant wolf the size of a small mountain appeared on the periphery of the fierce beast mountain range, emitting blue light all over its body, and the wind and clouds surged, like a king, standing among the mountains.
It had a pair of wings on its back, which suddenly spread out and soared into the air, looking down on one side, and behind it, wind wolves the size of calves roared out of the Beast Mountain Range.
The beast tide was amazing, leveling a large area of mountains and forests, converging into a torrent, impacting towards the outside of the mountain range, causing an uproar, and all the nearby tribesmen simply migrated to Jingyuan City, which escaped this catastrophe.
From a distance, there were dark clouds in the sky above the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, and countless fierce birds spread their wings and flew towards Jingyuan City, completely ignoring everything that happened on the ground.
At the same time, the City Lord's Mansion of Jingyuan City.
The door of the house facing the courtyard gate was closed, and when Xia Mu was about to step forward and knock on the door, a calm man's voice came from inside.
"Is it Little Brother Xia, please come in, I've been waiting for a long time. ”
Xia Mu's eyes flickered twice, but there was no trace of surprise on his face, he calmly pushed the door and walked in, and the middle-aged man surnamed Ma had already quietly left the courtyard when the city lord of Jingyuan City spoke.
After Xia Mu entered the house, his eyes swept away, and he didn't expect the number of people in the room, which surprised him a little.
On the main seat facing the direction of the door of the house, it was Tang Yu, the city lord of Jingyuan City, who was sitting, and at the bottom right of it was a middle-aged beautiful woman in her thirties, who was still charming, holding a man and a woman and two young children, with a kind face.
Opposite the woman, there was also a man with a calm posture and a shawl with black hair, what was particularly noticeable was that the man's pupils were pale cyan, and behind this man, there were also two young men in blue robes, with very similar faces, both handsome and handsome.
These people had already seen Xia Mu at the city gate before, but at this moment, it was as if they had just re-acquainted, and when Xia Mu came in, all the different eyes swept over.
The eyes of the city lord of Jingyuan City were a little surprised and delighted, while the blue-eyed man with black hair and shawl was a little curious, but the two young men who looked almost the same showed a little surprise, but the middle-aged beautiful woman nodded to Xia Mu with a kind face.
"Little Brother Xia is worthy of being Elder Han's high apprentice, he has just entered the city and made such a big reputation, that immortal halberd weighs 108,000 catties, if you don't use divine psychic skills, even the monks of the Five Elements Secret Realm may not be able to move, let alone the monks in the realm of the fetal palace, few people can shake this halberd, let alone make the tiger and tiger like the little brother. Tang Yu, the city lord of Jingyuan City, praised with a smile.
"Let the city lord see it, where is the brute force in front of the Five Elements Secret Realm monks. Xia Mu smiled slightly, shook his head and said.
Although his combat power is at the same level, in front of an immortal realm powerhouse like the city lord of Jingyuan City, he is also as fragile as an egg, and it will shatter when he touches it, so naturally it is impossible to be really self-righteous after being praised for a few words.
It's just that his previous performance in the center of the city seems to have impressed the city lord of Jingyuan City.
"There are 108,000 catties of strength in the realm of enlightenment, only the Middle Ages Continent can give birth to a genius of your level, so don't be modest. By the way, let me introduce to Little Brother Xia first, this is the inner man and the little girl of the dog. And these three are the captain of Aoki's team, Aoki and two team members. Hearing Xia Mu say this, Tang Yu waved his hand and pointed to several other people to introduce Xia Mu one by one.
Although it is impossible to judge the specific cultivation and realm of these people in front of him, but they can be on an equal footing with the city lord of Jingyuan City, and the cultivation of the aoki team is definitely not low, and the two members of the Aoki squad and the middle-aged beautiful woman are not as powerful as the city lord of Jingyuan City, but they are not far apart, and they are probably in the Five Elements Secret Realm
Under the introduction of the city lord of Jingyuan City one by one, these people nodded briefly at Xia Mu one after another. And that Aoki even showed a smile on his face, and said:
"It's really rare to have such strength and heart at a young age, but it won't be long before the beast tide will break out here, although you are a disciple of the Qiankun Holy Academy, but when it comes to a critical moment, you will also have to take part in the battle, when the time comes, remember not to be greedy for merit, once you are besieged by the fierce beasts, or targeted by elite-level fierce beasts, you will inevitably have to worry about your life. ”
This person is also very kind, and he warned Xia Mu.
"Thank you Aoki seniors for reminding me, juniors will definitely be cautious. Of course, Xia Mu would not say that what the other party said was nonsense, but honestly and respectfully thanked him.
Next, the captain of the Aoki squad didn't say anything more, but the city lord of Jingyuan City chatted with Xia Mu about some of the experience of resisting the beast tide over the ages, and asked about the whereabouts of the old man Han Feng on the side, but naturally Xia Mu pretended to be confused.
Seeing Xia Mu's performance like this, the city lord of Jingyuan City did not continue to fight stubbornly, but clearly told him that there was a chance that there would be a hegemon-level fierce beast in this beast tide, so that he should pay more attention when resisting the beast tide, try to stay away from the direction where the overlord-level fierce beast appeared, and protect his own safety.
Of course, these overlord-level fierce beasts will naturally be dealt with by the Immortal Realm powerhouses in the city, as long as they are not too close to the battle circle between the two, there is naturally no need to be afraid of anything.
And Jing Yuanwei under the city lord, according to the previous practice, would assist the monks and warriors in the city to resist the beast tide, so Tang Yu temporarily asked Xia Mu to follow the middle-aged man surnamed Ma to help defend a city wall in the south of the city.
After hearing the arrangement of the city lord of Jingyuan City, Xia Mu thought about it for a while, and then nodded in agreement.
Tang Yu saw that Xia Mu agreed so simply, and his face showed satisfaction, and then let Xia Mu go down to rest. According to the results of his personal investigation in the past few days, this beast tide may break out at any time, and letting Xia Mu go back to recuperate is also to respond to all changes.
Xia Mu smiled slightly and immediately left the house.
At this time, the middle-aged man surnamed Ma, who was talking to the old servant outside the courtyard, naturally greeted him and led the way for Xia Mu.
In the following days, he quietly pondered the opening chapter of the "Divine Codex" in the house, and consulted the subtleties of the enlightenment realm. As for the rock that hid the black giant egg, it was stood in the middle of the lotus pond in front of the attic by Xia Mu in a grand manner.
On the second day, Xia Mu quietly left the City Lord's Mansion, and he didn't know where he went, and he quietly returned half a day later, with several more spiritual arts books in his hand.
Except for a few people with a heart, most people don't even know that Xia Mu has ever gone out.
Such a peaceful day lasted until the sixth day, Xia Mu was boxing in the courtyard, and suddenly four huge horns came from the gate of the Sifang City at the same time, and the sound whined, resounding in every corner of Jingyuan City.
Xia Mu was startled and immediately retracted his fist.
The whining trumpets sounded one after the other, and as time went on, the sound of the trumpets became more and more rapid, near and far, as if they were blowing all over the city at the same time.
The entire City Lord's Mansion was filled with a tense atmosphere at this moment, and those Jing Yuanwei also walked out of their residences one after another, either holding swords or wearing black armor, with a grim expression on their faces, faintly filled with murderous intent.
"The first team of Jing Yuanwei immediately rushed to the city wall to command the defense, and the other teams rested on the spot to recuperate, and when it was really your turn, it would be delusional to want to rest again. The middle-aged man surnamed Ma walked out of a certain attic, although his face was as heavy as water, but his mouth still commanded in an orderly manner.
As soon as Jing Yuanwei heard the middle-aged man surnamed Ma roar like this, most of them obediently returned to their respective residences, and only Jing Yuanwei, who belonged to the first team, rushed to the four city gates immediately after finishing the equipment.
It is said that Ma Yun has served as the guard of Jing Yuanwei for hundreds of years, and his prestige can be imagined.
"Little Brother Xia, you and I will first observe the scale and type of the fierce beast tide, even the big beast tide is strong and weak, it depends on which types of fierce beast groups appear in it. After Ma Yun finished giving the order, he sent an invitation to Xia Mu.
Since it is rare for the seniors to have this proposal, the juniors are naturally willing to accompany them. Xia Mu was stunned at first, but immediately agreed.
To be honest, although he has been training in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range for several months, he has killed a very large number of fierce beasts, but that kind of number is simply a drop in the bucket compared to the entire Southern Barbarian, and now that he has the opportunity to see elite-level and even overlord-level fierce beasts, he will definitely not refuse this matter.
When the two of them walked out of the city lord's mansion and came to the street outside, they saw that the originally bustling and lively street had already become deserted, and there were very few pedestrians.
In addition to these beast carts, there are also Jingyuan City's fierce beast legions, an elite soldier named Jingyuan City riding a one-horned giant elephant, and they have rushed to the gates of each city to standby.
As for the ordinary people in the city, they did not all stay in their own houses, but were organized by the city's pharmacists, ready to treat the wounded at any time.
At this moment, everything is going on in an orderly manner, and it seems that it has been rehearsed thousands of times, although one by one is in a hurry, but there are no big mistakes.
