Chapter Twenty-Three: The Beast Strikes

On Chu Yunfeng's side, the captain was a disciple of the Sword Sect named Feng Yuze, and with Feng Yuze, there was also a female disciple named Shang Yunxi.

Tu Yidao was not with them, but was assigned to another team.

Let the team members introduce each other first, and then Feng Yuze spoke: "From now on, until the end of the beast tide, I hope that everyone can unite, regardless of sects, cultivators, and men and women, they are all brothers! ”

After some reprimands, Feng Yuze gave Shang Yunxi a look.

Shang Yunxi got the message, took out a handful of bows and arrows from the storage bag, and distributed them to everyone.

These bows and arrows were extremely intricately crafted, and they were also engraved with tiny sword-shaped patterns, similar to the emblems on the chest of the disciples of the Sword Sect.

Obviously, it was all from the hands of the refiners of the Sword Sect.

Ordinary beasts are bulky and thick-skinned, and if they fight with their bare hands, it will be very disadvantageous to the monks. Using a bow and arrow to shoot can slow down the offensive of the desolate beast and reduce casualties.

Those captains are not the team of the disciples of the Sword Sect, so they don't have such equipment, they are mostly all kinds of blades, swords, guns, swords, halberds, lengths, thicknesses, and varies.

Many people looked at the equipment in the hands of the disciples of the Sword Sect, and they were all envious, but they were helpless, who asked people to ask the Sword Sect.

Under the arrangement of Yuan Suishan and Taishu Jianchen, dozens of teams were divided into three groups, guarding the eastern, southern, and western city gates in turn, and the north city gate bordered Xiayang City, so there was no need to garrison.

As the first gateway of Qu City, the south gate will face the main force of the desolate beasts, and the number of people allocated is the largest, and nearly half of the team will defend against the enemy here.

The rest of the team was divided into two parts, each defending the east and west gates.

Feng Yuze, as the captain, was not assigned to the main force of the South Gate, but came to the East Gate, because his cultivation was only in the early stage of Gangqi.

When I arrived at the East City Gate, I found that there were already people stationed here, but they were all mortals below the middle stage of vitality and those who had not cultivated.

Among them, the number of people in the early stage of the Yuan Qi is the largest, followed by the middle stage of the Yuan Qi, and the number of mortals is the least.

What made Chu Yunfeng curious was that these mortals actually came to guard the city gate. When I saw that they were only responsible for some logistics, I was relieved.

In this way, it is reasonable, and it is too stretched to hold Qucheng with only a few hundred monks above the late stage of vitality.

When he was in the City Lord's Mansion, everyone's attention was on the two masters of the Transformation Realm, and Chu Yunfeng looked inconspicuous. And here, among the group of monks who came to assist in the defense, Chu Yunfeng was the lowest cultivator, and he was young, and he was noticed by many people in the middle of the vitality at a glance.

In the same middle stage of vitality, he was not qualified to participate in the negotiation of the City Lord's Mansion, but Chu Yunfeng came out of it, which made many people unconvinced.

As a result, many hostile eyes infiltrated many masters and aimed at Chu Yunfeng's body.

Chu Yunfeng frowned, feeling extremely bad, and after sweeping his eyes, many people put away their hostile eyes again, and only a few people still stared at him with bad intentions.

The other captains didn't care much about this, but Feng Yuze glanced at Chu Yunfeng with interest, and couldn't help but want to see what kind of sparks this group of people could create with Chu Yunfeng.

Among the seven captains, there was only one in the late stage of the Gang Qi Realm, and that was Yue Wentao of the Sword Sect, and everyone respected him.

After getting acquainted with the city defense situation, Yue Wentao divided three teams to guard the city gate, and four teams to defend the city wall. The four squads on the city wall were all led by disciples of the Sword Sect, and only one of the three squads guarding the door was led by a disciple of the Sword Sect.

Feng Yuze's team was equipped with bows and crossbows, and naturally walked up to the city wall.

No sooner had the defenses been set up than the earth shook.

Standing on the city wall, I raised my eyes and saw that the dense desolate beasts ten miles away were rushing towards Qucheng.

Rao has seen many scenes where people's scalps are numb, but Chu Yunfeng was still shocked by this scene. Whether it is the previous mosquito swarm or the ant swarm, in front of this mighty tide of wild beasts, it is simply a small thing.

"Don't panic, everyone, the main force of the beast tide is not us here, but in the direction of the main gate, everyone prepare for defense!"

It seemed that it was not the first time he had seen this kind of situation, Feng Yuze said calmly.

In fact, just as he said, the main army of the desolate beast rushed to the south gate like a flood non-stop. Yuan Suishan and Uncle Tai Jianchen nodded at each other and ordered to open the city defense array.

The moment the great array was activated, the energy emitted directly repelled the first wave of attacks of the desolate beasts.

After the large array was completely stabilized, the beast tide began a second wave of attacks. In the vanguard is a mutated group of saber-toothed tigers.

They have sharp teeth, are extremely destructive, and mainly attack the defense of the formation.

The saber-toothed tiger is tall, but not a brainless beast. Find the weak point of the formation and keep biting the same place.

In less than a stick of incense, the defenses here were cut down considerably.

On the city gate, Yuan Suishan stood with the wind and shouted: "Increase the amount of spirit stones! Archer, shoot!"

"Chirp!tweet!tweet..."

Countless arrows were fired at the saber-toothed tiger that was destroying the formation.

The saber-toothed tiger in front of him tore at the formation, and the saber-toothed tiger in the back jumped up and bit the incoming arrow with his teeth. But how could arrows rain down one by one?

"Wow!Wow!Wow..."

One after another, the saber-toothed tigers fell with arrows, and there were similar people behind them who stepped on their corpses and continued to destroy the formation. And so on and so forth.

After increasing the amount of spirit stones, the defensive power of the formation suddenly increased several times, and the saber-toothed tigers took turns biting in several waves, with little effect, but they still fought desperately to bite.

Half an hour later, the third wave began. In this wave, the first to attack was the purple lizard beast.

The purple lizard is similar in appearance to a lizard, except that it is purple all over the body and is large in size.

Compared to the saber-toothed tiger, the purple lizard beast is more aggressive and is a natural siege expert.

The formation strengthened the defense of the city wall, but it couldn't stop the desolate beast from climbing up.

Waves of purple lizard beasts, like stacked arhats, climbed the city wall desperately, making people's bodies chill to watch.

The walls surrounded by countless purple lizards were so impassable that there was not even a hole for a person to squeeze out.

As a last resort, Yuan Suishan and Uncle Tai Jianchen had no choice but to order the archers to shoot the purple lizard beast that climbed the city wall.

Countless purple lizards were shot with bows and arrows, and their corpses fell from the city walls, scattering their corpses all over the ground.

With the Purple Lizard Beast's attracting firepower, the saber-toothed tiger gradually achieved results, and the defense array was destroyed little by little.

"Uncle Tai, leave it to me here, and the defense array will be handed over to you!"

After analyzing the current situation, Yuan Suishan made a more appropriate arrangement.

He has been stationed in Qucheng for many years and has a lot of experience in dealing with wild beasts, so he can coordinate the overall situation here.

Although Uncle Tai's sword dust cultivation is high, he is young after all, and it is not a big problem to guard the formation.

The beast tide has been attacking for so long, and the city gates on both sides have also begun to have wild beasts attacking.

"Senior Brother Yue, the purple lizard beast is about to climb the city wall!"

Feng Yuze walked to the center of the city wall, reported the situation to Yue Wentao, and waited for him to give the order to fight.

Yue Wentao did not give an order immediately, but first listened to the battle report from the south gate.

Although the east gate is not the main target of the desolate beast's attack, the number of purple lizard beasts is too large, and the number of personnel equipped with bows and crossbows is too small, and it is impossible to completely block them from the city wall.

If the purple lizard beast had opened a gap here, his sin would have been great.

Therefore, if you don't make a move, you must immediately eliminate the threat of the East Gate.

"Senior Brother Feng, in your opinion, can we, the bows and arrows, repel the attack of the purple lizard beast?"

First, he didn't understand how to deal with it effectively, so Yue Wentao asked Feng Yuze directly.

Being asked like this, Feng Yuze understood what Yue Wentao was thinking.

It wasn't the first time he had dealt with the beasts, the last time he came, as long as the beasts rushed up, they would defend and then look for an opportunity to attack.

It has been in a passive state, with heavy casualties.

The number of purple lizards is huge, and it is not advisable to attack strongly, and passive defense is not the best policy, so it can only be won by surprise.

After pondering for a long time, Feng Yuze suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "By the way, Senior Brother, when the Desolate Beast Tide broke out three years ago, I was also in Qucheng. Once, I stumbled upon the Purple Lizard Beast that seemed to be very afraid of fire, but at that time, the team suffered heavy casualties, and I was also seriously injured, so I had to go back to the city to recuperate, and I didn't go to verify it further. ”

Yue Wentao's eyes lit up, wasn't this the solution he wanted? He immediately ordered: "Senior Brother Feng, give you a task, immediately find a purple lizard beast to experiment, and see if the fire attack is effective against them!"

Feng Yuze took the order, took out his bow and arrows, tied fire to the arrows, aimed at a purple lizard beast in the distance, and then released the bowstring.

"Chirp!"

The arrow struck a purple lizard, piercing its head without hindrance. Immediately afterward, the hair and skin near its skull turned from purple to blue and burst into flames.

The fire quickly spread throughout its body, and within a few breaths, a huge purple lizard beast was burned to ashes, causing a panic in the herd.

When Feng Yuze saw this, he was as surprised as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Pass the order, all the crossbowmen and arrows will bring fire and attack the purple lizard beast!" Without Feng Yuze replying, Yue Wentao gave an order, "Tell the disciples, quickly send the news back to the south gate and the west gate!"

Sure enough, under the fierce attack of the fire, the purple lizard beast was burned to ashes and scattered on the ground outside the city wall before it could climb to the top of the wall.

Two hours later, a thick layer of ash had formed on the ground.

At the South Gate and the West Gate, a similar scene was staged. However, the south gate withstood the main attack, and a large number of purple lizard beasts climbed the city wall, which still caused a lot of casualties.

At the end of the day, the death rate of the purple lizard beast exceeded forty percent, and the third wave of the beast's attack failed.

The battle was won, but many high-level officials in Qucheng did not relax, because the purple lizard beast failed to attack, and the next thing to face was a hard battle.
