"Why is this happening, why is it still dark? At this time of year, it shouldn't be completely dark at six o'clock, and even if it's night, there should be stars and moon. ”

Fan Ping'an glanced at the mechanical watch in his hand, his face was very solemn, and he said angrily: "It's just six o'clock, although Xu Long told you the specific time, but he can't be accurate to a few minutes and seconds, he will only say that it is six o'clock, according to common sense, between six o'clock and six o'clock can be regarded as six o'clock, if it exceeds this time, it is considered six and a half, so you can wait." ”

"Is that so? Hopefully, that is indeed the case. ”

Fan Ping'an said with a little luck, but his heart was still very heavy, after thinking about it, he was still quickly looking for the powerful monsters around him to kill, and at the same time absorbing all the soul stones he got along the way, because of the soul stone detector of Hades, his harvest was very good, and now there are even several soul stones of five leaves.

Other people will not have such a big harvest as Fan Ping'an, after all, the soul stone itself does not have any light, if it falls in the grass, even Wu Shuai will not be able to find it, unlike the underworld that can be detected, not one of them will be spared, Fan Ping'an's harvest alone is several times more than those in the other three directions combined.

With the continuous absorption of the soul stone, Fan Ping'an's strength is infinitely close to the fifth order, but the energy required to break through is very much, so it is still accumulating, and in this process, although Fan Ping'an is still looking for a powerful monster according to the original plan, he is still distracted, and he keeps looking at the watch in his hand, watching the time pass little by little, but the sky is still dark, and his heart is sinking.

"Maybe it's going to be light in the next second, don't worry, don't worry."

Even the current Fan Ping'an will have a fluke heart, but Fan Ping'an is Fan Ping'an after all, and when the time reaches six o'clock, his luck heart is completely gone, he stopped, raised his head and looked in the direction of his hometown, his brows were deeply locked, and he was worried unspeakably in his heart.

"Is this the method of the Valkyrie Alliance? Did they really intend for the Second Tribulation to come together with the Third Tribulation? If there are three tribulations, there will be a Martial King, and no one can stop the Martial King at this stage, even if it is me, I only have a small chance to keep Stone City in the hands of the Martial King, but how can other places stop it? Ludao, Lin'an City, and hometown, will they all be attacked by monsters? ”

Thinking of this possibility, Fan Ping'an's heart seemed to be pinched by something, and the whole person was almost collapsed in pain, if this situation really happened, there would be no one left in the people he cared about, so what was he still alive for?

"Don't worry too much, if I'm not wrong, it should only be the case in Stone City, the Martial God will not destroy the Great Wall, that is to say, the Martial God has only increased the degree of integration of Stone City, and the monsters in this area will be more powerful than other areas, however, whether it will reach the level of the Three Tribulations is still unknown."

Wisdom Fan Ping'an said calmly, Fan Ping'an was overjoyed when he heard this, and the whole person relaxed, as long as the relatives are fine, as for the stone city, no matter how big the difficulty, he will find a way to bear it, and he believes that he has such ability, because he is Fan Ping'an!

"According to Ah Long, the second tribulation lasts six hours after dark, and the third tribulation lasts twelve hours, in this way, as long as you see how long it will be dark next, you will know what level the monster has evolved, don't appear sixth order, even if it is the peak fifth order, there is a certain way to solve it, but if there is a beast king, it is an overwhelming advantage."

Fan Ping'an, who regained his consciousness, analyzed, and the wisdom Fan Ping'an agreed, and then, Fan Ping'an released a puppet bird to return to Stone Town to report the news, and informed Liu Ru of the information that the monster will be more powerful, and this puppet bird is an ancient puppet brought back from the battlefield dungeon, which has a certain amount of wisdom and is quite good for reporting.

However, only these ancient puppets were brought back by the battlefield dungeon, and those zombies could not be brought out, which should be the limit of the dungeon.

Therefore, Fan Ping'an put away the corpses of the monsters above the fourth order that he had killed along the way, put them in the storage ring, and directly turned them into zombies with death qi, waiting to be controlled with the Pluto Banner in the future.

However, it is not the immortal immortal corpse refining the immortal god technique, and the speed of becoming a zombie will be very slow if they only rely on their own to absorb the dead qi, and it will not be able to be done in a day or two, that is to say, in this battle of Stone City, Fan Ping'an does not need to count on many zombies to help, he can only rely on himself.

Fan Ping'an, who had settled down, continued to kill the powerful monsters in this direction according to the original plan, and in Stone City, because it was dark and did not end at the time Fan Ping'an said, Liu Ru and the others were a little flustered, and when they saw the information brought by the puppet bird, Liu Ru frowned suddenly, for this second tribulation, she originally thought that with Fan Ping'an, there should not be much of a problem, but she didn't expect the damn Martial God Alliance to be so vicious and ruthless.

"The hundreds of thousands of living beings in Stone City, to those martial gods, are they just ants that will be destroyed at will?"

Liu Ru scolded with an iron face, and Jiang Mingyue next to her also read the information, and was also very angry: "The end of the world is caused by them, do you think they will care about the hundreds of thousands of lives in this stone city?" If we don't follow our master to defeat the Martial God Alliance, we earthlings will never have a good life, and the best case is just to be a slave. ”

After reading the information, the others were also furious, and at this moment, the military general who was scouting outside Stone City sent back the news: "Except for the east, there are mutants and monsters approaching in other directions. ”

"Although it is not yet dawn, the monsters have already come, if you guess correctly, it should be some monster leaders or mutant leaders who control the monsters to come, they have wisdom, and it is not a problem to make a torch."

Liu Ru's face changed, he thought for a while, and said: "And the east is the direction where the city lord goes, and I think it was the city lord who killed all those leaders with great might, so no monsters took the lead." ”

Jiang Mingyue said admiringly: "It seems that the city lord has killed a lot. ”

"The city lord is naturally powerful, the head of the Zhang family, send your communication dove to send a message to the other three directions, let them come back as soon as possible, as for the city lord's side, put the information on the puppet bird just now, and let the city lord judge for himself."

Liu Ru immediately gave an order: "When they come back, let them lead the cavalry to attack, see if they can kill those leaders, let the monsters rout and escape, reduce the pressure of the last monster siege, in addition, let the formation mage be ready at any time, once the monster siege really happens, the formation will start to change immediately." ”

"Okay."

The head of the Zhang family immediately nodded and gave an order, and the head of the Liu family looked at the daughter of the commander, her expression was quite happy, she knew that this time the city lord of Fan Ping'an handed over the power of command to Liu Ru, on the one hand, it was trust, on the other hand, it was also a test, if her daughter could take on this responsibility, after the city lord left Stone City, the heavy responsibility of acting the city lord would fall on her daughter.

Although the head of the Liu family is also as jealous and hateful as Liu Ru, after all, he is a member of a big family, and he also has the idea of wanting the family to flourish in his bones.

Several other families were also faintly aware of this, except for the Wang family, the rest of the families could still accept it, after all, Liu Ru himself was a member of the six major families, and he was considered his own person.

With Liu Ru's order, soon Huanglong and they all returned, and then led the elite cavalry team to attack from different directions, the cavalry was fast, and it didn't take long to block the monsters that surrounded them, and the war broke out in an instant.

"For the sake of Stone Town, kill these monsters!"

In the roar, the cavalry team tore open the direction of the monster, crushing all the way, the leader of the monster saw that the impact of the human being was too terrifying, and rushed out to block it, the strength of these leaders has the peak of the fourth order, and there are many fourth-order existences in it.

Fortunately, the front of the team are the owners of the divine weapons, they have used the divine weapons, the monster leaders are killed, after the death of several leaders, the monsters really began to become flustered, but I don't know if it is the influence of the special energy absorbed, most of the monsters are still fighting to the death, desperately blocking the army of Stone City.

Stone City's army charged continuously, and it took a lot of time to completely kill the monster army, but there was an endless stream of monsters coming behind, and they could only fight again, so several times, the monsters were inexhaustible, and even a fifth-order monster appeared, and it was not easy to kill, although the army's losses were not very large, but the true qi and physical strength were consumed a lot, and they could only retreat temporarily.

At the same time, although Fan Ping'an was in the eastern direction, although he killed a large number of high-level monsters, but the remaining monsters, driven by instinct, still came in the direction of Stone City, Fan Ping'an discovered this situation through the leader of the skeleton birds who scouted in the sky, so he released the puppets on the way to enter Stone City in the east, and then took them to block the monsters.

From the dungeon, Fan Ping'an got about three hundred puppets, each of which was above the fourth order, and the combat effectiveness was extraordinary, Fan Ping'an blocked the road with them, killing people's heads, no monster could pass, just about half an hour, and the corpses of thousands of mutants were already lying on the ground.

Fan Ping'an alone is equal to an army.

Under normal circumstances, mutants above the second order would be afraid to retreat early when they saw Fan Ping'an being so terrifying, but now, these mutants who originally had a certain amount of wisdom still rushed up frantically, obviously affected by special energy, and their negative emotions reached their limit.

Fan Ping'an's face was a little ugly: "Damn, it will be troublesome in this way, I'm afraid that all the monsters around will gather, there are more people in Stone City, and the attraction is greater." ”

At this time, Wisdom Fan Ping'an reminded again: "Whether it is an ancient puppet or a current puppet, it needs energy to use, you don't want to be a puppet is a zombie who won't get tired, in addition, the energy of the ancient puppet is to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, but it will not actively absorb it, it needs to be in the formation." ”

"Got it."

Fan Ping'an thought about it, and sent a message to Liu Ru with a puppet bird, then put away the puppet, rode on the black panther, and wanted to lure the monster to other places, who knows, the monsters didn't chase him at all, and went straight to Stone City.

In this case, Fan Ping'an had no other way but to return to Stone City, and the other troops also came back, looking very tired, Fan Ping'an arranged for everyone to meditate, take medicine, and at the same time meet Liu Ru, and talk about the current situation, both of them are quite dignified.

"My lord, it's about ten o'clock in the evening, it's still dark, and according to what you said, the strength of our opponent will be more than twice as much as originally estimated."

Liu Ru frowned and said, Fan Ping'an nodded, and sighed: "This Martial God Alliance is really frustrating, but as long as it doesn't last until six o'clock tomorrow morning, that is to say, as long as the Martial King doesn't appear, it should still be able to hold it." ”

Liu Ru is not so optimistic: "Even if there is no Martial King, but the strength of these monsters is constantly improving, and now it is estimated that there are no first-order ones, and they all start from the second-order, although we have a formation, but if there are too many monsters, too strong, we may not hold on, and if there are more fifth-order monsters, the situation will be even worse." ”

After a pause, Liu Ru said again: "After all, except for you, my lord, we are only the junior martial commanders, and it shouldn't be a problem to face the new fifth-order and the junior fifth-order, but the intermediate, advanced, and even the peak, we can't stop it, and once such a monster arrives, you are only one person, and you can't hold it, right?" ”

"Don't worry, if there are too many monsters and they are too strong, I will pull the dragon qi to join the formation together, enough to extend it for a while."

Fan Ping'an smiled and said: "In addition, if there are many high-level monsters, you can lend the divine weapon to your guardian spirit beast, and the guardian spirit beast will use the divine weapon that does not belong to them, although it is impossible to fully exert the power of the divine soldier, but there is no problem for the fifth-order middle and high-level monsters, as for the fifth-order peak, it is up to me to deal with it." ”

Liu Ru's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Yes, there is also dragon energy, and you can also lend the divine weapon to the guardian spirit beast." ”

Fan Ping'an nodded, and then explained: "These monsters are all promoted from the fourth order to the fifth order, and they do not appear from the martial arts world, so they are gradually improved, they will be controlled by negative breath, and they will come out to attack the city in advance without waiting for their own strengthening, which is a bad thing and a good thing, for a while, you pay attention to killing those powerful monsters, don't let them have a chance to become stronger." ”

"That's true."

Liu Ru agreed very much, but when she thought of something, she asked in surprise: "My lord, since you are back, shouldn't you be in command?" ”

"As the city lord, of course, I want to play the role of the Seagod Needle, so I don't need to play in front, and I will only shoot when it is critical."

Fan Ping'an said: "There is still some time now, you give me the soul stones above the fourth order that you collected before, I will start the retreat and break through to the fifth order, as for the soul stones below the fourth order, you can send it down, let those who have the possibility of breaking through obey it, and increase their strength as much as possible, this is a hard battle." ”

"This time for retreat?"

Liu Ru was very surprised, why did she feel a little like wanting to sweep away her belongings and run away? However, she didn't have any doubts, and immediately handed over all the soul stones above the fourth order that she had collected in the city before, and there were even a few five-leaf ones in it, Fan Ping'an was very satisfied, and without saying a word, she immediately went to retreat.

As Fan Ping'an said, he is the city lord, the most powerful and the last line of defense in this city, he is not needed in front, what he has to do now is to improve his strength as much as possible, and wait until there are monsters above the fifth order to appear, and it is time for him to appear.

Not to mention Fan Ping'an's retreat, the huge war machine of Stone City began to run at high speed under Liu Ru's order, and under the control of the formation mage, in the shaking of Stone City, the formation of Stone City began to change.

Originally, the defensive formation was a semi-circular light mask-like thing, but at this moment, it was fused with the city wall that Stone City had been building during this time, making the defense of the city wall infinitely improved, and at the same time, the sky was still shrouded in light shields, protecting from the attacks of flying monsters.

The city wall of the stone city cultivation is a hundred meters high, and at the same time, the position where the city wall and the heavenly light curtain are handed over leaves a city hole specially used for fighting, if you want to deal with the monsters attacking the city, the formation itself is definitely not enough, you must quickly kill these monsters, and there are a large number of soldiers stationed in each city cave, as well as a large city defense equipment made by the Liu family, although it is not worth mentioning compared to the city of the martial world, but on the earth, it is quite rare.

The change of the formation is not just that, in addition to defense, the Liu family also added the function of attack to the formation, that is, the additional arrangement of the formation is integrated on the defensive formation, not to mention the specifics for the time being, and in addition to a large number of soldiers on the city wall (above the martial arts), there are many warriors in the city ready to support or provide assistance, except for ordinary people, everyone else has joined the battle, because if you lose, everyone will die.

It's a last-ditch fight.

As for the ordinary people who have no combat effectiveness, they hide in the air-raid shelter left behind in the morning in the morning, and the formation will even be protected underground, as long as the formation is not broken, they are safe, and these ordinary people are now praying that their new city lord can lead the army in the city to protect them, and there is nothing else they can do.

Monsters have been appearing, but the previous ones were small in number, weak monsters, easy to solve, but when the time came to more than ten o'clock in the evening, a large number of monsters came, flying monsters from the south, crows, magpies, pigeons and other birds, led by a giant eagle that reached the fifth order, appeared from the sky.

Without waiting for the monsters to attack, Ximen Wutear, who was in charge of the southern region, immediately shouted loudly: "The generals are above the ranks." ”

Because of this time the battlefield dungeon, the number of generals is not a lot, there are more than a thousand people, and there are hundreds of them distributed in the southern region, they have stood up, holding a big bow, under the order of Ximen without tears, at the same time open the bow and shoot arrows, hundreds of long arrows in the air through the beautiful curve fell into the flock of birds, containing a strong true qi of the long arrows through the strange birds, many of them reached one arrow double kill, even three kills, four kills.

The leading fifth-order giant eagle was very angry, because of the range, now the birds could not attack, and it personally let out a loud roar, the sound wave spread like a storm, and the big trees and stones were broken along the way, Ximen did not dare to slack off when he saw this, and hurriedly sacrificed the heavenly maiden umbrella.

The Seven Sisters of the Heavenly Maiden's Umbrella let out a burst of laughter in the air that the men couldn't control, and the sonic attack from the giant eagle dissipated directly, and what was even more terrifying was that the giant eagle seemed to be under control and began to attack the surrounding birds frantically, causing heavy casualties to the birds, and falling into chaos, after all, the giant eagle was their head.

"You actually gave me to that little girl, instead of the Variety Sword, I really think that the old lady is not as good as that little child?"

The mighty Celestial Maiden Umbrella was actually quite unhappy in her heart, and she also decided to perform well to make Fan Ping'an pay more attention to him.

"That's amazing."

Seeing that Ximen Wuxian was so powerful, everyone in the southern city wall was overjoyed, and Ximen Wuxian said coldly: "Why are you stunned, continue to attack, but don't run out of true qi, and retreat when only half of your true qi is left." ”

"Yes, Lordship."

Everyone agreed loudly, and then attacked one after another, plus the giant eagle that was controlled, this wave of birds was almost killed before they got close to the city wall, and the rest were not opponents at all, and they were shot by the soldiers one after another, and basically did not cause any damage.

The flag was victorious, but Simon was not very happy without tears, because she knew that this was just the beginning, and the pressure would definitely be even greater in the future!

Compared to the West Gate without tears, Huang Long of the North Gate, Zhang Yao of the West Gate, and Li Yuan of the East Gate were lucky, although the number of monsters gradually increased, but the monsters they encountered were only fourth-order, and they were quickly eliminated.

However, these people didn't have time to be happy, and immediately a large number of monsters appeared, but it was a group of monsters, this time, the monsters rushed to the position of the city wall, and the monsters above the fourth order jumped up, and cut off the three defenders with one claw, and the fourth-order defenders immediately rushed up to stop each other.

The monsters below the fourth order were stacked wisely and climbed the city wall, and the fierce battle broke out, and the team defending the city gradually began to appear dead and wounded, and blood stained the city wall.

didn't wait for this group of monsters to be killed, the next group of monsters came again, and from this point on, the next hour, the monsters continued to attack, and the directions of the four city walls were bloody battles, most of the monster leaders were below the fifth order, but there have been three fifth-order monsters, fortunately, they are all newly promoted to the fifth order, and they have all been killed by the divine soldiers.

However, in such a fierce battle, the casualties also rose rapidly, and the warriors hurriedly moved the wounded soldiers off the city wall one by one and sent them to the rear for treatment, while the prepared soldiers hurried up to support.

"Protect Stone City, the city is in the people, the city is dead!"

"Our loved ones need our protection, hold on, hold on!"

There were the roars of the captains everywhere, except for the teams of the six major families, which were considered elites, the other teams that were temporarily called, even those mercenary groups could only be regarded as miscellaneous soldiers, but this time their battle was also very brave, because they knew that they had no way out, and behind them were their relatives, if they couldn't hold it, everyone in Stone City would die.

As I said before, this was a battle against the water, so everyone was desperate, and this fierce battle lasted for an hour, and the monsters became more and more and stronger, and when the time came to twelve o'clock in the evening, something happened that excited everyone - the moon appeared.
