Shi Lan automatically filtered the task punishment behind, opened the system panel, and after looking at the task rewards twice, he was about to close it when the system's voice sounded again.

[The main quest is released, within one month, kill a thousand demon beasts with more than nine levels of quenching realm, task reward: one innate spirit blood, no punishment for mission failure. 】

Shi Lan was a little surprised, the main quest actually came two at once.

After pondering for a while, Shi Lanmo asked, "What is innate spiritual blood?" How much is one serving?

[Innate spirit blood, the first batch of creature blood born in the chaos before the opening of the world, one innate spirit blood, is enough to replace two-thirds of the blood veins in the host's body, and derive the innate spirit body. 】

Shi Lan didn't ask what the innate spirit body was, and after the task was completed, he would naturally know that if the task failed, it would be in vain to ask.

A thousand demon beasts with a ninefold body realm, just thinking about it made her feel that she was not enough.

After thinking for a while, Shi Lan threw away his distracting thoughts and began to cultivate, no matter what, it was more important to step into the innate realm.

……

The next morning, the sound of gold sounded as usual.

After the martial arts arena was assembled, Huang Fuyun did not lead the army out of the city again, but let everyone climb the city wall and began to familiarize themselves with the city defense, and everyone smelled a gust of wind and rain.

After climbing the city tower and catching a glimpse of the things placed on the city wall, a trace of surprise flashed in Shi Lan's eyes.

The bed crossbows, which are more than four feet long, are firmly fixed to the ground, and the crossbow strings alone are as thick as an adult's arm, and they are as black as ink.

On the side of the crossbow of each bed, there is a bundle of 'arrows' nearly three feet long, almost the thickness of an adult's thigh, if you take an arrow, the consequences can be imagined.

Huangfu Yun walked to the side of the bed crossbow, stroked the bed crossbow, and said: "The nine-bow bed crossbow can be used to spread nine cloud-piercing arrows at a time, and it requires the combined efforts of the innate realm martial artists, or the nine peak martial artists of the quenching body realm, to open the crossbow strings, the innate realm demon beasts cannot resist, and they can seriously injure or even kill the demon beasts of the Earth Demon Realm." ”

Shi Lan glanced at the bed crossbow twice, and moved his gaze to the outside of the city, at the end of the distance, the smoke that was already faintly visible everywhere, and the demon beast was not far away......

After taking everyone to familiarize themselves with the city defense, Huang Fuyun did not let everyone go back, but let everyone stay on the city wall and directly enter a state of alert.

In the past ten days, due to going out to sweep the demon beasts, a total of thirty-two people were killed, of which twenty-one were newly joined, and most of the original forty-one people had gone.

Now in the city, including Huangfu Yun's centurions, there are less than three hundred and forty demon suppression troops left.

And these more than 300 people had to be scattered on the four city walls, and they suddenly seemed sparse.

Broken crossbows, as well as bundles of stainless steel arrows, were constantly transported up the city wall.

During the transportation, Shi Lan saw some warriors she had never seen before, still wearing the same style of clothes.

After taking a moment and asking Huangfu Yun, Shi Lan learned that these martial artists were all subordinates of Nie Yangze.

When Huang Fuyun and the others entered Shuangyue City, they had suggested to Nie Yangze that he should integrate all his subordinates into the Demon Suppression Army and act in unison.

Nie Yangze didn't refuse, but he didn't agree either, but said that it depended on the meaning of those martial artists.

How could these martial artists who were used to wandering around in Shuangyue City be willing to endure the rules of the Demon Suppression Army, plus Nie Yangze also promised these martial artists two places for each of them to board the Cloud Treasure Ship.

Under such circumstances, naturally no one was willing to join the demon army, and Huang Fuyun and the others did not force it anymore, as long as they were willing to stay and defend against the demon beasts.

Even with the addition of the City Lord's Mansion, the overall number of people on the city wall still failed to exceed five hundred.

……

At the gates of the four corners of Double Moon City, brand new notices were posted.

It was early in the morning, and there were a lot of pedestrians, and soon a large crowd gathered before the notice.

"Today's Shuangyue City Week, a large number of demon beasts suddenly appeared, the Quartet is a disaster, Shuangyue City has become an isolated island, the City Lord's Mansion is in urgent need of a crossbow to assist in defending the city, to the capable people, volunteer."

After learning the content of the notice, the surrounding people were suddenly in an uproar, and after a commotion, everyone rushed to the city lord's mansion in unison.

Soon, in front of the City Lord's Mansion, there was a sea of people, but they were not allowed to enter the Mansion, and they were stopped by a group of warriors outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

Nie Yangze stood at the door of the mansion with his hands in his hands, his expression calm.

"The surrounding demon beasts are in trouble, the City Lord's Mansion must have known about it for a long time, and has been deliberately concealing it, what is the intention?!" A man who looked like a scholar said with a flushed face.

"A few days ago, so many people came in and out, and I brought back so many demon beast corpses, I already saw that something was wrong."

"City Lord Nie, did you get the news when you banned the city before?!"

"Isn't Twin Moon City unstoppable?!"

"Lift the ban! I'm going to get out of town! ”

……

Nie Yangze raised his hand, "Please be quiet." ”

The sound was not loud, but it seemed to reach the ears of everyone in the field, and gradually, everyone quieted down, staring at Nie Yangze tightly, waiting for him to give an explanation.

"The current situation in Twin Moon City is indeed a bit dangerous."

The first sentence Nie Yangze said made everyone's faces change.

"But you don't have to worry too much, I, Nie Yangze, are still standing here, if this Twin Moon City really can't be saved, what am I going to do here?"

Nie Yangze's expression remained unchanged, and he said unhurriedly.

"Some time ago, everyone has seen the Sky Treasure Ship in the sky, and it will return soon, and we can take everyone away with us then."

Some people believed Nie Yangze's words, but most people still didn't believe it, and there were constant voices of doubt.

Nie Yangze's expression still did not change, and he spoke again: "I advise you, don't think about going out of the city, now there are demon beasts in all directions, and there is only one result of going out of the city, that is, your family has become the rations of demon beasts." ”

As soon as Nie Yangze said this, the audience was suddenly silent, and the needle drop could be heard.

"Nowadays, there is a shortage of people to defend the city, and crossbowmen are urgently needed to assist in defending the city.

Glancing at everyone, Nie Yangze said meaningfully: "The only way to survive now is to hold the city and wait for the return of the Yunxiao Treasure Ship. ”

Hearing this, everyone's expressions hesitated, and after a while, the crowd began to disperse slowly, and a small number of them ran towards the city wall.

"Lord of the City, will the Sky Treasure Ship really come back?" A martial artist standing beside Nie Yangze asked cautiously.

"Maybe I'll be back soon." Nie Yangze looked up at the sky, and silently added in his heart, "When we recover Twin Moon City, we will come back......
