Chapter 45: The Devil's Tide is Coming

“…… So there are three camps in the Seventh District besides you, but two of them have recently been breached by monsters, and only a few have fled to your camp. ”

In the small room, Meng Yang quietly listened to the news that Gusa brought him, and his heart was quite uneasy for a while.

The plight of the people who live here is more difficult than he thought.

There were a total of thirteen districts in the City of Despair, which Meng Yang had probably learned from the mouths of Phoenix and the others. The entire city is basically a fortification, with only the long and tall walls to the north.

The entire wall of despair stretched for dozens of kilometers in an east-west direction, stretching to the endless sea of sand in the east and the adjacent seashore in the west. The urban layout of the City of Despair, when viewed from above, basically resembles a long strip of walls that lean on the wall.

There are two reasons for this, one is that most of the people living in the City of Despair have been banished from the eastern and western continents for hundreds of years. The places of exile are different, and many people are of different nationalities and races, and they were still in a hostile state before landing on this continent, and gradually formed a primitive state of urban areas that gathered together with each other and did not fully merge.

On the other hand, in order to more fully resist the attack of monsters on the walls of despair, the siege of monsters coming down from the north is not one point or two, but pervasive, and any section of the city may be endangered if there are fewer people.

Over time, such a city gradually formed thirteen urban districts.

The survivor camp where Meng Yang is now located is the Ninth District, which is separated from the Seventh District where Gusa is located, and many parts of the city have been entrenched by various monsters, making it extremely difficult for people to communicate.

The lives of ordinary people outside the camp can be said to be full of dangers, and only those with some extraordinary abilities like Phoenix and Gusa can barely move.

"There are more and more monsters around our camp, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold it for long."

After Gu Sa reluctantly stood up, he sat on the simple wooden bed, looked at Meng Yang, who was lost in thought, and said again.

"More and more monsters?" Meng Yang was slightly puzzled when he heard this, "Aren't there any monsters in your previous camp?" ”

Gusa shook his head, "No, there are a lot of monsters near the camp we are in, especially when the City of Despair fell, our location was the main breach, so a large number of powerful creatures of all kinds were gathered. But as time went on, the monsters had left for other places. It's only recently ......"

"There have been a lot of monsters lately, haven't they?"

While Meng Yang and Gusa were talking, Phoenix walked in at some point, a rare solemn look appeared on her calm face, and she looked at Meng Yang again as she spoke, "I met the Firebird on the way to find the magic crystal, this kind of monster rarely approached the City of Despair in the past. The attack of the gnolls on our camp actually reveals a lot of information, generally speaking, a group like the jackals will not attack in the face of a human camp with a certain strength, they are a kind of creature that bullies the weak and fears the hard, and the sawtooth tiger that harasses our camp, its activity frequency is increasing. ”

"What do you want to say, Phoenix?" Sheila, who had been standing quietly next to her, suddenly spoke.

Gusa, whose expression was in self-reproach, helplessness and pain, also fell on Phoenix at the same time.

"I want to say......" Phoenix said slowly, "their anomalies won't be without cause. ”

"You mean ......"

As soon as Phoenix's words fell, both Gusa and Sheila changed their faces in an instant.

Only Meng Yang, who didn't know why, and Sun Shuai, who was hiding in the distance and eavesdropping, were a little unclear.

"What the hell?"

Meng Yang watched several people's faces change, and subconsciously had a bad feeling.

"The Devil's Tide is coming!"

Sheila and Gusa said almost in unison, and their faces became extremely ugly.

"If it's really a demon tide coming, then the camp of human existence is meaningless, the sooner it is breached by monsters, and it will be difficult to escape later!"

Gu Sa smiled bitterly, and the resolute and strong middle-aged man seemed to slowly fall down as if he had been pulled out of the bones after saying the words "The demon tide is coming".

"Why is this happening?"

Sheila murmured beside her, her eyes hollow, as if she was remembering and fearing.

"It's just speculation." Phoenix looked at Sheila and Gusa, who were already distracted, and said lightly again, "After all, we can't be completely sure now. ”

"Definitely." Gusa sighed, his eyes seemed to lose focus, "Recently, I have noticed that the activities of the monsters around me have become more and more frequent. ”

"Well, can you tell us more about what happened? What is the Magic Tide again? Meng Yang looked at the expressions of several people, and couldn't help but ask again.

Standing in the corner, no one seemed to notice Sun Shuai, and the whole person was already trembling slightly.

"Big insider, big insider, this must be the next major plot. Damn, I'm so excited, I should be the first player to know! ”

There seemed to be a moment of silence in the room.

After a long while, Phoenix glanced at Meng Yang and slowly explained, "Your Excellency Meng Yang, do you know why this place we are in is called the City of Despair, and this continent is called the Land of Oblivion? Because, this is not a place where human beings can live at all, there is no hope here. ”

"No hope?" Meng Yang raised his eyebrows, he knew that the pessimism of the people living in the City of Despair was clear, but this sentence still surprised Meng Yang a little when this sentence came from the mouth of Phoenix, a transcendent who looked strong and powerful.

"Although this place is called the Forgotten Land, we never know how big this continent really is, because it is full of monsters and otherworldly species. The only place we can survive is this small area around the City of Despair.

Moreover, there is a special energy surge in this continent every once in a while, the people who were originally exiled here called it the Magic Tide, that is, the Magic Tide, there is no definite time and law, but every time it appears, the monsters living here become irritable and crazy, the City of Despair was established to resist the arrival of these monsters, of course, at that time, this place was not called the Exiled Land......"

Phoenix's voice spoke calmly, but listening to Meng Yang's ears made him feel that many things suddenly brightened.

He now finally knew how the vast forest of bones outside the City of Despair had formed, and why the walls of the City of Despair had been built so magnificently, all because of the appearance of the Demon Tide, which made all kinds of monsters and beasts restless and launched attacks on the City of Despair.

For a world that is completely a monster, the fall of the City of Despair naturally has no barrier for the people living here, and can only survive and struggle.

Meng Yang didn't particularly understand what this demon tide was, but looking at the faces of several people, coupled with what he had seen and heard, he immediately felt a strong crisis.

Some of the monsters or transcendent species that appear now are just small characters such as pig-headed people, jackals, and sawtooth tigers, and there are not many of them, if it is really tens of thousands of various transcendent species that are rioting, he feels that I am afraid that the remaining human beings will not even be able to make a splash under such a tide.

The last time the city of despair was shattered, the people were unable to resist it, and in the end, only a handful of the city's people survived.

But even so, those who survive are only trying to survive in the cracks of various monsters and otherworldly species.

"That'...... When do you think the tide will break out? Meng Yang swallowed his saliva, digested the shocking news, looked up at a few people and asked.

If it was really as a few people said, Meng Yang was almost 100% sure that it was impossible for his small body to survive in such a demonic tide.

Phoenix shook her head and said: "The specific time is difficult to determine, but basically we can see a lot of clues, for example, all kinds of transcendent species will become more active, whether it is a beast or a monster, they will be more aggressive, and similarly, it will be easier for humans to awaken transcendent seeds." ”

"You just won't let me catch my breath!"

Meng Yang let out a long sigh and survived from the pig's head mouth, followed by the attack of the jackals, and finally felt safe for the time being, but now he heard the news that the demon tide was coming.
