Volume 2 Chapter 47: The Beast Tide Comes
The sound of knocking on the door interrupted the conversation between Ling Yun and Jiang Yu, and Xiao Hei, who was crawling on the ground, got up and climbed to the window, knocking on the door of the inn downstairs outside the window.
"I can't see it from this angle. ”
Ling Yun also leaned over to Xiao Hei's side and looked down, but was blocked by a wooden plank.
"Let's go check it out. ”
Jiang Yu said softly, and the two of them opened the door.
The other protégés who lived here also opened the door when they heard the sound, and wanted to go down to have a look, An Caiyue walked out of the middle door, shook her hand and signaled everyone not to move yet, and then went downstairs and walked towards the door.
The shopkeeper of the inn had come to the door and slowly opened it.
I saw a thin and slightly taller figure appear in the dark night outside the door.
This figure saw that the door of the inn was opened, and before the shopkeeper had time to ask, the figure broke in directly and asked loudly: "May I ask if the people from the thirtieth group of Yuehua Academy are here!"
Entering the inn, the faint candlelight illuminated the face of the figure, whose chin was covered with stubble, his clothes were in tatters, and several scratches were carved on his chest, making him look extremely embarrassed.
The people upstairs of the inn all looked down when they heard the sound, and they didn't know what the situation was.
"This guest officer, I don't know what you are doing with these people?" the shopkeeper was an older man, and he asked slowly.
"Needless to say, I am the thirty groups of mentors, An Caiyue. ”
I saw that on the steps of the stairs, An Caiyue walked down slowly and said softly.
"An Caiyue?" I saw that the scumbag man asked softly after seeing An Caiyue.
"Cai Wei?" An Caiyue walked closer, and only then did she see this person's face clearly.
"Yes, I'm Cai Wei!" Cai Wei, who was recognized by An Caiyue, nodded hurriedly.
"What's going on, where is your protégé of Group 5?" An Caiyue asked suspiciously, looking at Cai Wei's embarrassed appearance.
As soon as he heard the words five groups, Cai Wei's face suddenly panicked, and he immediately sighed lightly and said softly: "Don't mention it, I am the only one left in the five groups who is still alive." ”
"What?"
An Caiyue was suddenly shocked, he was left alone in the five groups?
"Then could it be that the others are dead?" An Caiyue asked with a frown.
Cai Wei shook his head and said, "To be precise, there are no bones." ”
The protégés of the thirty groups had basically come down at this time and came to An Caiyue's side, I don't know what happened.
"There are no bones, can you tell me clearly?What the hell is going on?" An Caiyue glared at Cai Wei in front of her, after all, the five groups of the Yellow Character Gate, the entire group of protégés all died, this situation is a very rare thing in the academy, and there is no possibility at all!
"Phew, I myself tried my best to escape. ”
Cai Wei took a deep breath and explained: "Two days ago, I took five groups of protégés to Xiwang City near the narrow city, originally planned to stay in that city for a few days, and then arrived at the border city in front of me in these days according to the instructions, but I didn't expect that in the early hours of this morning, in the eighty miles of forests around Xiwang City, thousands of demon beasts besieged Xiwang City at the same time!"
"What's even more amazing is that there are not only Ning Yuan Realm demon beasts and Tongyuan Realm demon beasts in this beast tide, but there are even Demon Beasts at the level of the Yuan Breaking Realm!"
"Broken Yuan Realm-level demon beasts, could it be that Xiwang City didn't hold it?" a short-haired protégé asked suspiciously.
"Most of the spirits in Xiwang City have gone to those cities on the border to support, and the only people in the spirit realm in the city are me, the city lord, and the head of another family, and the other party's Yuan-breaking realm-level demon beasts, there are more than ten of them! Cai Wei sighed.
An Caiyue asked, "Why did you escape alone, and the rest ......?"
"The city lord fought with his life to fight against the four demon beasts at the level of the Broken Yuan Realm, but the city could not stand the horror of this beast tide, before the city lord died, let me leave Xiwang City with all five groups of protégés, and inform the information to other cities to prepare for defense, but halfway to a mountain range in the narrow city, it was also full of demon beasts, and I used all my strength to not protect these protégés, and when I was the only one left, I had to fight for my life. ”
"After this day's journey, I went around to the other side of the city, and immediately sent out the news after entering the city, and then rushed to this Xiguang city, and calculated the time, the people of the city should have basically abandoned the city and gathered here."
"Alas. An Caiyue couldn't help but sigh when she heard this, didn't she expect this entire city to be destroyed like this, but why are there so many demon beasts at the level of the Breaking Yuan Realm in this beast tide?
Cai Wei and An Caiyue thought together, and analyzed slowly: "Generally, the beast tide is caused by the demon beasts of the Breaking Yuan Realm, and can only lead some demon beasts from the Condensation Realm and the Tongyuan Realm to trigger the beast tide, since there are more than ten demon beasts at the level of the Breaking Yuan Realm in this beast tide, there is only one possibility......"
"What is possible?" Ling Yun interjected.
I saw An Caiyue glaring at her and said, "Didn't you listen to the lecture when you gave the lecture?" This can lead a demon beast at the level of the Breaking Yuan Realm, naturally it can only have a demon beast from the Demon King Realm or above. ”
"Demon King ......" Ling Yun was taken aback, could it be that they were going to go to the Demon King to fight? Damn, he was a little minion in the Qi Condensation Realm, and he wouldn't be used as cannon fodder, right......
"Up to now, I don't know if the court has sent a strong man from the Spirit King Realm to resist the beast tide, if not, I'm afraid that the narrow city and this Xiguang city will also be captured. Cai Wei said with a solemn gaze.
Indeed, the highest realm of spirits in these cities is only the Spirit Waiting Realm, and the difference in strength between the Spirit King Realm and the Spirit Waiting Realm is completely impossible to rely on the number alone to think about equalizing the strength, and more importantly, this one demon king can lead more than ten demon beasts at the level of the Yuan Realm, and it is still the number of guesses at present, and it is unknown how much is hidden behind it.
However, just these more than ten demon beasts that broke through the Yuan Realm were already about the same number as the number of Spirit Waiting Realm spirits in these two cities combined, not to mention that after this, there must be a demon beast of the Demon King Realm.
Everyone listened to Cai Wei's analysis, and they were all worried, if it was an ordinary Xiguang City, there might be hope to resist this upcoming wave of beast tides, but now, most of the strength has been allocated to the border side, and it will be at least a few days away from this, according to Cai Wei's predictions, I am afraid that at noon today, this beast tide will go directly to Xiguang City.
At this time, the sky is about to turn white, everyone present is a spirit, it does not have much impact on whether there is sleep, everyone is more concerned about the next, from the rear of the border defense of this wave of beast tide, how to resist, once Xiguang City is broken, the beast tide that is flanked before and after, I am afraid that the entire western part of Huaguo will be captured this month!
At this time, the people of Sashiroshi had also retreated outside Xiguang Castle, and after some settlement, the problem of housing for the people of the city had been settled.
The sun shone on the earth, and the walls of Xiguang City were illuminated by this light and were golden, as if they were clothed in gold.
At this time, in the palace of the city lord of Xiguang City......
"In other words, today, there will be a beast tide led by the demon king to attack our city. In the hall, a man sat in the center of the crowd and said loudly.
This man has a square face and sword eyebrows, and when he sits upright, he looks very tall at a glance, but in fact he only occupies a big character, his height is no different from that of ordinary people, and his body shape is wider.
This person is the city lord of Xiguang City, Ximen Qun, is one of the top powerhouses in today's Yuehua Kingdom, the strength is not trivial, he broke through to the realm of the Spirit King a few years ago, this Yuehua West, the strongest person on the bright side, I am afraid that it is Ximen Group, of course, this does not include some of the older generation of strong people who have been hidden for a long time.
"That's right, at the speed of this beast tide, I'm afraid it won't be long before we get here. Cai Wei had changed his clothes, sat on one side of the seat, and said solemnly.
When Ximen Qun heard this, he still felt a little surprised, he didn't expect that there was a beast tide on this border, but now, why is the city in the rear also triggered a beast tide, this must not be an ordinary beast tide, the situation of the enemy on the belly and back makes the Ximen group who temporarily got the news at this moment fall into a deep groan.
"Now we have to wait and see what happens, and I have sent all the soldiers of the city to the city walls to defend against the beast tide at any time. Ximen Qun said softly, and uncontrollable worry appeared in his eyes.
However, the crowd had not been quiet for long when they saw a soldier in armor hurrying into the hall.
The soldier shouted: "Report! According to the words of the guards of the city wall, the beast tide is only ten miles away from the city gate!"
Suddenly, the people sitting in the hall were all nervous, and the people present were all the spiritual realm powerhouses of Xiguang City and Narrow City, and in addition, there were also some tutors in Yuehua Academy who had been staying nearby for the past few days.
There are a total of nineteen strong people in the spirit king, and the strong person of the spirit king, Ximen Qun, Ximen Ling's father is also in the realm of the spirit king, but he has been in retreat for many years, if it is not necessary, it is not good to invite Ximen Ling out of the customs.
At this time, everyone was already standing on the city wall, and outside the city of Xiguang, there was a vast plain, and the woods were several miles away.
Everyone looked into the distance, and they could see the smoke and dust in the woods in the distance, and the dense and small figures of many demon beasts were faintly visible in the woods, obviously, this is the beast tide, due to the distance, from a distance, this is the size of an ant, but if you get closer, I'm afraid it's not so simple.
"Ladies and gentlemen, next, the safety of this Xiguang City depends on us. Ximen Qun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said solemnly.
Immediately, he turned to the guards behind him and on the wall, and shouted, "Listen to the soldiers!"
"This city is the home of all the citizens of our Xiguang City!"
"The city is destroyed, the family is destroyed! Let's defend Xiguang City to the death!"
"Swear to defend Xiguang City to the death!"
"Swear to defend Xiguang City to the death!"
All the soldiers were impassioned and shouted in unison!
On the city wall of Xiguang City, one after another exciting voices spread throughout the city!
