Poor Tu thought that the days would pass so peacefully.

But the world is impermanent, and the beasts suddenly rioted in the winter when they should be dormant.

It is no longer safe outside the city, and even this time the tide of fierce beasts is more surging and growing stronger than before, and the weak elephant of the past has actually surrounded the entire Mizhou.

Nowadays, in the city of Mizhou, the streets where people usually come and go only on festivals are now full of people, and you can see beggars and vagrants everywhere, these are actually the victims of the disaster.

But fortunately, Mizhou has always been safe, the area in the city is wide enough, and many houses have been built to take in beggars and vagrants.

When the tide of fierce beasts was discovered, a lot of wooden sheds were erected in the idle places in the city to shelter from the wind and rain, so that the victims would not wander.

What's more, the current food in Mizhou City is still very sufficient, so those victims will not starve, of course, if the victims themselves have money, they can naturally buy more delicious food.

Although there has not been much unrest in the city due to the victims, there is really no optimism outside the city.

Countless fierce beasts surrounded the outside, and the entire Mizhou City was already impenetrable.

And because the existence of the flying beast was not discovered before, when the flying beast came, Mizhou had to activate the city protection array. However, this large array of city protectors is really very expensive, and it takes at least a thousand high-grade spirit stones every day. According to the current price of a high-grade spirit stone is about ten taels of silver, which means that it has to consume at least ten thousand taels a day.

For a huge main city, 10,000 taels a day is indeed not much, and the City Lord's Mansion can fully afford it.

It's just that high-grade spirit stones are rare, and this level of large array can't use middle-grade spirit stones and low-grade spirit stones.

Therefore, after more than ten days of continuous operation, the high-grade spirit stones in the city's reserves have been exhausted, and they began to purchase them from the private sector.

It's just that ordinary people don't need these spirit stones at all, and the monks generally choose more affordable middle and lower grade spirit stones for cultivation, anyway, there are just some quality gaps.

So the acquisition lasted for a few days, and then it didn't receive much.

Under the advice of the array guards, the city lord Li He reduced the number of high-grade spirit stones injected to eight hundred, which was also the appropriate number that the array guards had discussed and calculated.

But in this way, the big array is bound to randomly appear weak spots, it's okay during the day, it's all visible in the sky, even if those fierce beasts and monsters find weak spots, and they will be found because of this, and they can be completely guarded.

It's just that at night in winter, the sky is pitch black, and you can't see flying beasts and monsters at all, so it's difficult to fill in the gaps like during the day.

Therefore, the city lord issued a bounty order for all high-ranking monks.

That is to encourage the monks to form a team, patrol the sky at night, and kill the flying beasts that break through the weak points of the large array in time.

Poor Ming family.

Zhang Heixiong smiled: "Then we have to go out day and night and become night owls!" ”

Poor Ming rubbed his forehead: "I was a little uncomfortable staying up all night last night, but I had to continue for the sake of reward." ”

Poor Tu walked in with the tea his mother had made, and happened to hear the conversation between the two, so he asked, "What's the reward?" ”

Zhang Heixiong: "The identity of the city's citizens. ”

Exhausted wondered: "What do you want to do with that?" ”

Zhang Heixiong: "If you don't have the identity of a city citizen, you can't sign a title deed here, and you can't own your own house here." ”

At this time, Zhang Daxiong walked in with a pastry, and he was surprised: "Then whose house is the house we live in now?" ”

, Zhang Heixiong: "It's another city citizen, we live here and pay money every month." ”

Zhang Daxiong nodded and exclaimed, "So that's the case!" So how do we have our own house and yard? ”

Zhang Heixiong: "This reward order is based on this. Depending on the number and rank of the flying beasts killed, you will receive different levels of special contributions, which can be exchanged for citizen status or directly purchase a house from the City Lord's Mansion. ”

One and two children chatted for a while, and when the poor mother came in with the prepared meal, she saw that the poor man was buried in the crook of his arm, already asleep.

She walked over, gently pushed Poor Ming's shoulder, and shouted, "Brother Ming, eat something first, I have prepared hot water for you, go wash and sleep after eating." ”

Poor Ming nodded tiredly, and after eating something quickly, he left the table early.

"Why is my dad so tired?" Puzzled, he looked at the energetic Zhang Heixiong and wondered, "Uncle Heixiong, why are you so energetic?" ”

Zhang Heixiong laughed and said, "I'm different from your father. He's used to people...... People's schedules can't be adjusted for a while now. Not long ago, I always went out hunting at night, because at night the prey came out to catch some. ”

Zhang Daxiong, who was eating and drinking, muttered: "Hmm... Me too...... I'm still not used to daytime activities. ”

Is that so? Wu Siwen accepted their statement, no longer entangled, and ate in a big gulp.

During the night, two well-slept adults and two curious children came to the area they were responsible for.

This is a very spacious platform, I heard that it is a stargazing platform, and from here you can indeed see those fierce beasts flying around in the sky.

Poor Tu asked Poor Ming: "Then if a fierce beast attacks, how will you deal with it?" ”

Poor Ming smiled: "Just fly over by some simple means, don't think so much." Look, look, it's time for you to go home. ”

Zhang Daxiong, who was standing next to the stargazing platform overlooking the scenery, turned around and said, "Can I stay and help?" ”

Zhang Heixiong immediately refused: "No." You have to go back to sleep, and it's the right thing to do. If it weren't for the fact that the reward was so good, I wouldn't have wanted to stay up late. I worked hard for a few days to adjust my schedule. Now I have to start all over again, so don't follow in my footsteps, you kid. ”

After a period of time on the stargazing platform, both children were driven down.

Poor: "It's so boring! I want to stay here and see how they fight the beasts. ”

Zhang Daxiong: "It's impossible, my father's nose is also very smart, and he will find out if we stay here for a while." ”

Poor Tu: "Then if we go somewhere else to see others, they won't know!" ”

Zhang Daxiong nodded: "It's a good idea, but I'm not interested in watching others fight fierce beasts." I've seen enough people with my father and master when I go out, and I've fought several times myself. ”

Speaking of this, Poor Road can't help but envy, jealousy and hatred.

"Anyway, I'm going to go and see, if you want to go home, go back first."

Poor Tu said so, but in fact, because of his lack of knowledge in cultivation, he couldn't understand it at all, because he had successfully slipped out of the city.

The reason why he pulled Zhang Daxiong with him was to ask Zhang Daxiong to explain to him what means were used.

Zhang Daxiong didn't seem to hear the meaning of the poor road, he yawned and said, "Then I'll go back to sleep first, I'm really a little sleepy today." ”

choked at the end of the road, he almost felt that this was Zhang Daxiong playing for himself. But when I think about it, I think it's impossible with his head.

Zhang Daxiong finally went back, and he could only run to the south gate alone to watch the excitement.

The reason why I came here is that the two children often eat in a restaurant here, and they are hearty and good-mouthed, and the uncle's shouting is very useful, so the restaurant owner is kind to them, and he is willing to let them go up to the top floor to see the scenery and lively things below.

......

No one would have expected this nightmare.

Beasts have no minds, only instincts, which is almost everyone's cognition.

And the performance of the fierce beast is indeed like this, as long as the fierce beast is basically irrational, the rational one will not be called a fierce beast, but will have a specific name.

People think so, and no one ever thinks about what these beasts would be like if they were commanded.

Because no one can do it, that's what people think.

So when the flute sound wrapped in spiritual power dispersed from the spiritual gate, people thought that the people from the spiritual gate had created a new spell in terms of music.

No one cares about the sound of a flute.

Staying on the top floor of a six-storey restaurant, I also heard the sound of the flute coming from the direction of the spiritual gate.

The sound of the flute is melodious, which makes people feel refreshed.

When he closed his eyes, he actually felt that the shining points of light in his dream that guided the little black tiger forward appeared in front of him.

It's really amazing.

A smile appeared on the childish face of the poor.

He opened his eyes, and was shocked by what he saw.

Because there were a lot of bamboos in front of him!

Yes, bamboo! Looking left and right, it's all bamboo!

This is the sixth floor! How can ordinary bamboo grow so tall.

And the point of the problem is not this, the point is that before closing the eyes, there is nothing in front of you, why does the bamboo grow out as soon as the eyes are opened and closed, and it grows so fast and so tall!

What the hell is going on?

There must be a reason for something to happen.

Shocked, he turned around and planned to go home immediately, because he thought something big might happen!

Just as he was turning around, the sound of a flute came from behind him.

Exhausted was shocked, and did not immediately turn back, because the sound of the flute seemed to be close at hand, right behind him.

Is it the Pied Piper?

The sound of the flute grew stronger and stronger, and he jumped out of the room and looked back.

There was no one behind him, but the sound of the flute was literally resounding outside the railing.

Could it be that the piper used some kind of technique to hide his figure, when he was actually watching him from that position?

Poor Tu was shocked, staring in that direction vigilantly, if his ears could be erected, he felt that his ears must be standing up now.

"Child, why are you still here, hurry up and go home, I'm going to close the doors and windows, lest these weird bamboos grow into my building."

The owner of the restaurant led a few men over, and he told them to close the doors and windows while talking to the poor road.

Poor Tu pointed to the inside of the room and said: "Lin Bo, there is a stealth master inside, I don't know if it's good or bad, but he hasn't been silent. ”

The owner of the restaurant was startled and exclaimed, "How come, why did he come to my building to make trouble?" It's time like this, could it be that the patrols in the city have been transferred, so they want to take advantage of the fire to rob? ”

He summoned two men and wanted them to go in and have a look, but they were also afraid and didn't want to go in and see at all.

The owner of the restaurant had no choice but to shout inside: "The master inside, I don't know what is going on in the small restaurant where you came to the contemptible people, why don't you say it clearly, so as to discuss it, how about it?" ”

After the restaurant owner finished speaking, after a while, there was no response from inside.

"Master, are you there?" The restaurant owner shouted again.

But there was still no response inside, and the restaurant owner looked at Poor Road with suspicious eyes and said, "...... There can't be no one in there, right? ”

Poor Tu affirmed with a face: "Yes! Absolutely! Listen, the sound of the flute came from that location. ”

Hearing this, the owner of the restaurant instantly looked crying and laughing: "Child, you really scared me just now." There was no one there at all......"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Exhaustion: "But if there is no one, where does the flute come from?" Could it be the sound of a flute out of thin air? ”

The restaurant owner couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's from those strange bamboos." ”

The two guys next to him were also relieved.

Poor Tu looked incredulous: "How is it possible, there may be a little noise when the bamboo is blown by the wind, but it will definitely not produce a flute sound like this." ”

The restaurant owner shook his head: "I don't know what's going on, if you don't believe it, go over and see for yourself." ”

Han Leng walked in according to his words, approaching cautiously, and did not let his guard down until he walked in front of the bamboo.

But when he listened closely, he realized that the sound was really coming from the bamboo!

On the way home, Poor Tu kept thinking about it.

Because it's beyond his imagination.

was stunned, and unconsciously, he found himself on the south gate.

Hey? How did you get here?

Forget it, you can go around the house from here anyway.

"Boom—"

With a loud bang, I saw the city gate in front of me, and it actually fell down! Then a whole bunch of strange things broke in!

It's a ferocious beast!

Desperately turned and ran into the narrow alley next to it.

He could only do this, because if he chose to run backwards, with his speed, he would definitely be chased by the beast in a few moments.

Most of those fierce beasts are relatively large, and they will definitely not be able to enter the narrow alleys.

And those smaller fierce beasts, the poor road is not very afraid, although he has not really fought fierce beasts, but he has heard a lot of things about various fierce beasts from Zhang Daxiong's mouth.

He said that the strength of small beasts was also generally low.

Although I want to try my hand at challenging a beast, it's better to avoid a fight if I can avoid it, because the most important thing now is to get home.

My mother was alone, and my father didn't know if he had gone back.

But when he went to the other side, he found that the streets were already full of roaming beasts.

When I was in a hurry, the surrounding houses began to shake, as if they were about to collapse, and if I didn't leave, I might be crushed by the broken tiles of the collapsed walls.

Can't go out, can't stay here.

Desperately chose an open yard and turned over and jumped in.

As soon as he landed, an old man's voice shouted, "Who are you!" ...... Hey? A kid, how did you get here? ”

The courtyard was very dark, and the old man could only tell that he was a child from the figure of Poor Road, but he could not see the face of Poor Road.

But Poor Tu saw the old man on the other side clearly, and the old man was followed by a thin child.

"Bang... Boom ......"

"Be careful!" The old man drank.

Hearing this, Poor Tu subconsciously jumped to the side, and just as he jumped away, the wall came down.

A giant scorpion three or four men tall swept around with its claws waving.

He didn't have time to think about it, so he took advantage of the chaos, and when he left, he also saw the old man carrying the child and flying away.

Desperate still moved around the devastated dwellings of the city, for the rest of the time, with the occasional large beast roaming the area.

Poor Tu even managed to get some small beasts with some stones.

His ability to throw stones has not declined, and he is exhausted.

After a while, the large beasts around him gathered in the city, and although he wanted to go home to take a look, he also knew that it was impossible, so he could only sneak out of the city while there were not many large beasts.

Many people outside the city have fled, and they all say that the state has been broken and they plan to go to other state cities.

Exhausted thought of Huaizhou.

The family originally planned to go to Huaizhou, but because of a small accident, they could only come to Mizhou first.

This time the state was broken, so if the parents escaped, they should also go to the state, thinking like this.

He immediately decided to leave for Huaizhou as well.

There are not many people who go to Huaizhou, because Huaizhou is still a little far away.

So after walking for a while with everyone, Poor Road walked on another road alone.

But fortunately, there were no fierce beasts in the forest on this road, just some ordinary beasts.

He took out a map, which he had bought from a merchant with what little silver he had left, and the signs on it were quite conspicuous and easy to understand, and it was genuine, because the villages and towns on the road were no different from those on the map.

With this map, he didn't get lost and slowly approached Huaizhou.

It's just that because there is no silver in his pocket, he can only catch some wild animals when he is in a hurry, such as pheasants and hares, and some more common wild fruits, which can also be eaten.

For those wild fruits that have not been seen, they will not touch them at all. Because if it is a poisonous fruit, then something happens to the eater, and in this uninhabited place, it is really called heaven and earth not to be spiritual!

As he passed through villages and towns, he would sell some of the pheasants and hares he had caught in exchange for a little copper coin.
