Chapter 162: Sea Beasts Attacking the City
The business in the restaurant is very hot, and when Ye Lan and the others came, they were just in time for a table of people to have dinner and settle the bill, otherwise they might not have a place.
Those diners who were eating only felt that their eyes lit up, and they all looked at Ye Lan and his party.
After all, the combination of handsome men and beautiful women is popular everywhere.
However, the diners are not stupid, Ye Lan and his party are all dressed in very luxurious clothes, and they know at a glance that they are not ordinary people, so no one is looking for trouble.
"What do you want, a few guest officers?" A young man dressed as a waiter immediately greeted him, and after handing over a menu to Ye Lan, he quickly cleaned up the scraps on the table.
Ye Lan glanced at it slightly, casually ordered two dishes and passed them to Cao Xueyang, who also ordered two dishes and passed the menu to Zhu Zhuqing. In this way, several people each ordered a dish or two.
Everyone is a soul master, and if you let go of eating, your appetite is not small, so you don't have to worry about wasting if you can't finish eating.
"Wait a minute, the dish will be ready soon!" The boy wrote down the name of the dish and went down.
A few people were bored and began to look around. Although the space here is not very large, the tables are arranged very regularly, so that so many people eat together without giving people the feeling of being cluttered and crowded.
One of the biggest features of this place is that the door is very large, about three meters wide, and there is a thick cotton curtain to block it, so that pedestrians on the street cannot see the appearance of eating inside.
Ye Lan frowned slightly, a little puzzled.
This town has nothing of value except that it is not far from Dream Evening City, why are there so many mercenaries here.
You must know that the mercenaries are all unprofitable guys, and now that so many people are gathered together, there must be something worth their concern.
Even if there is a caravan to hire, then it shouldn't be that you don't see the caravan for mercenaries.
And on the way here, he hadn't seen any caravan that needed so many mercenary guards.
After Xiao Er finished serving, Ye Lan stuffed a silver soul coin into his hand.
"Little Er, let me ask you something."
Xiao Er held the silver coin, his face was happy, although their small place was full of people, it was rare to see someone giving so much tips, so he immediately flattered:
"If you have something to ask, I grew up here, and there is nothing to hide from me in this neighborhood."
"Then let me ask you, has there always been so many mercenaries in this town?" Ye Lan asked.
"Not really. In the past, although there were mercenaries who came to our town, they all followed the caravans, and the number was not very large. That is, the number of mercenaries passing through the town has increased dramatically in recent days, more than in previous years combined. ”
"So there's something big going on around here?"
"We don't have one near here, but it seems that something big has happened in Tianshui City along the coast. I've heard that the Mercenary Guild has issued a mission to summon a large number of mercenaries to Tianshui City, and these mercenaries should all be rushing to Tianshui City.
And this morning, the defenders of the city of dreams and evenings in front of them also passed a thousand people. But I don't know exactly what it is.
However, you can check out the mercenary union in Dream Evening City, there is definitely news there. ”
"I see, you go down first."
Waved off Xiao Er, Ye Lan said while eating: "It seems that we have all picked up our pace, we have to hurry to Tianshui City." ”
Cao Xueyang nodded: "Indeed." Tianshui City has gathered a large number of mercenaries, and there should also be support from nearby cities, so it seems that the matter is not small. Let's rest early tonight, and let's go to the mercenary union in Dream Evening City as soon as possible tomorrow morning to find out the situation. ”
"Well, according to what Sister Xueyang said. If I don't go sooner, I'm always a little worried that if something really happens, it won't be good if our original station is destroyed. ”
......
Early the next morning, in order to be in a hurry, the group directly transported their soul power and hurried, so they soon arrived at Mengwan City, which was ninety miles away.
When they arrived in Dream Night City, everyone didn't take a break, and ran directly towards the place where the mercenary union was located.
"How's it going?" Seeing Ye Lan inquire about the good news, the others hurriedly asked.
"A large number of sea soul beasts appeared in the sea area outside Tianshui City, and in order to prevent the sea beasts from attacking the city, the task of gathering a large number of mercenaries was issued. In addition to this, the Empire should also have a large number of troops to support it. ”
"Sea beasts attacking the city? Can you be sure? Zhu Zhuqing asked with a serious face.
Although she had only heard of the siege of soul beasts, she had never heard of sea beasts attacking the city. But when the soul beasts on land are attacking the city, the sea soul beasts are also soul beasts, and it is not impossible to attack the city. But as long as it is a soul beast attacking the city, there will inevitably be huge casualties!
Ye Lan shook his head: "It's almost certain." At present, the sea soul beast has only appeared in the sea area near Tianshui City, and there is no sign of making a move. However, the latest news is that you can see a lot of thousand-year-old soul beasts standing on the seaside, and I'm afraid that it will be a matter of time before the sea beasts attack the city. It is said that Tianshui City has prepared for the worst. ”
"Then let's hurry with all our might, we can't delay any longer on the road. Late will change! Cao Xueyang proposed.
They had already decided to build the Hidden Sword Villa in Tianshui City, but now Tianshui City was surrounded by sea beasts, and a big war was about to break out. If Tianshui City is accidentally broken, the consequences will be unimaginable!
"Seconded! I'll take Xiao Ran, Sister Xueyang, you take Ah Xue and Ah Xiao, let's move forward at the speed of asking the sky. It should be possible to reach Tianshui City in a few days. Ye Lan arranged.
"Okay, then it's decided. Without further ado, let's go! ”
......
Rolling dark clouds, rumbling thunder, and pouring rain shrouded the sky above Tianshui City, and the dense heavy rain had lasted for three days, and a steady stream of sea soul beasts that emerged from the sea also continued the fierce battle with the soul masters of Tianshui City on the beach on the east coast for the third day.
Inside Tianshui City, there is still an orderly and busy scene, this is just the beginning, the Tianshui City Lord and the Dean of Tianshui Academy who are in charge of command, of course, will not be in a hurry when they see the Sea Soul Beast. They continuously sent soul masters to intercept the sea soul beasts that rushed onto the beach, replacing the next batch of soul masters who had exhausted their soul power.
Tianshui City has been established for hundreds of years, and it is not the first time that it has faced sea beasts attacking the city, so there are a series of perfect defensive measures in the city in order to prevent this situation.
Fortunately, every sea beast attack has a precursor, but it also gives them time to prepare. As soon as they discovered that the sea beasts suddenly gathered, the upper echelons of Tianshui City realized that there would be a sea beast attack. However, in order to stabilize the hearts of ordinary people, they did not make a statement.
But on the mercenary union's side, they didn't hide the information. Because they also need a strong quest system from the Mercenary Guild to help them gather more helpers.
On a carriage to the West City Gate, Huo Wu looked at the heavy rain in the sky depressed, she was a fire attribute soul master, and such a heavy rain had a great suppressive effect on her strength.
A month ago, Shui Bing'er invited her and her brother Huo Wushuang to come to Tianshui Academy as guests. Although she and Shui Bing'er are the same as each other, they didn't know each other in the original elite competition, and they had encountered a bottleneck in their recent cultivation and were idle, so they agreed. Just go to Tianshui City to relax, and feel the refreshing sea breeze at the same time.
It's just that they didn't expect that not long after they came, they were attacked by sea beasts. That's it, I thought I could help a lot, but now it seems that with the impact of this heavy rain, it would be good if I didn't drag others back!
"Damn it!" The more Fire Dance thought about it, the more angry she became.
"This heavy rain feels a little weird, and it coincides with the time of the beast tide!" Huo Wushuang frowned and said to Shui Bing'er next to him.
"Well, this is the rain summoning technique of the 100,000-year-old soul beast Lei Jiao, unless it can attract that thunder Jiao to show up and fight, otherwise this heavy rain will continue forever!" Shui Bing'er said.
"100,000-year soul beast?! You're not kidding?! Fire Dance exclaimed.
Shui Bing'er spread her hands helplessly and said, "Is it necessary for me to lie to you?" Tianshui City has been built for hundreds of years, and it has also experienced several sea beast sieges, almost every time there is this 100,000-year-old thunder Jiao, which is not a secret among the high-level leaders of Tianshui City. I also learned about it from the dean's teacher. ”
"Then there is no Title Douluo-level powerhouse to take down that 100,000-year-old soul beast?"
"Yes, why not. However, this Lei Jiao has helpers, and coupled with the thousands of 10,000-year-old soul beasts gathered around him, it is not easy for Title Douluo to get close. ”
"Tianshui City has a Title Douluo?"
"Nope. There are only a few Titled Douluo on the mainland, and none of them belong to our Tianshui City. However, every time the sea beast attacked the city, the Title Douluo of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family would come over to sit in the town, so there was no danger in the past. ”
"But why use the Rain Summoning Technique, Tianshui City has a majority of water attribute soul masters, but it will enhance our strength, right?" Fire Dance couldn't help but ask again.
Shui Bing'er smiled: "No matter how many water attribute soul masters there are, but in the face of tens of millions of sea soul beasts, it is far from enough. Coupled with the support from all over the world, in fact, water-attribute soul masters only account for a very small part of the soul masters. This rain summoning technique is for another large number of people, such as the two of you, isn't it affected? ”
Fire Dance pouted, "Okay." ”
Although Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang insisted on staying to help, but due to the heavy rain, their strength was greatly reduced, and it was still a tentative stage, so they went to the West City Gate to greet the soul masters from all over the world who were still coming, accompanied by Shui Bing'er.
......
As Ye Lan and his party got closer and closer to Tianshui City, the more they could feel the big picture of the matter.
Along the way, they met a lot of mercenaries, but all of them were heavy-faced, didn't say a word, hurried away, and rarely even saw anyone chatting on the road, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
"Look at it, it's more serious than we thought." Ye Lan said in a deep voice.
At this moment, Ye Lan suddenly found that there were many mercenaries in front of him, and they suddenly turned around and rushed in another direction.
You must know that Ye Lan and the road where they are now lead directly to Tianshui City, and the mercenary suddenly turned to this operation, but he really didn't understand it.
Ye Lan frowned and said, "You guys are waiting here, I'll ask about the situation." ”
After speaking, he ran directly towards the place where the mercenaries gathered in front of him.
"This old brother, why did so many people suddenly turn around, why don't you continue to rush towards Tianshui City?" Ye Lan grabbed a returning mercenary nearby and asked.
The mercenary who was pulled away was stunned, and when he saw that Ye Lan was dressed in a gorgeous suit, he didn't dare to despise it, and immediately explained:
"Little brother, you just came, Tianshui City has been surrounded by sea beasts, and this road can't be passed!"
