Chapter 159: Facing the Beast Tide
The so-called "beast tide" is a phenomenon in which a herd of animals riots for some reason and will rush to the outside like a tide.
This is a big deal for any city with a herd of beasts nearby, and if it is not handled well, it will even be wiped out!
It is said that the cause of this beast tide is that the Purple Thunder Lion King is about to give birth, so the beast tide is launched to ensure its safety during production.
If it were not so, at its weakest point, it would have been attacked by all kinds of hunters.
In the face of the beast tide, the entire Tongning City almost poured out.
Whether it is the three major forces, or small gangs and small factions, they must contribute their own strength to resist the beast tide and defend the city-state.
In normal times, the situation in the city is chaotic, but on this major matter of survival, all forces can still form a consensus.
Even the arrogant and domineering Iron Knife Gang actively participated in it.
Of course, from another point of view, the beast tide is also a rare hunting opportunity, from which you can obtain a large number of beast cores, as well as experience.
So when they heard these news, Lu Ping'an and the three of them immediately couldn't sit still, and they also wanted to participate in the big team to resist the beast tide.
"While you have good reasons to do this, ...... It's still too dangerous. ”
Lu Ping'an went to ask Ouyang Xia's opinion, and got such an answer in the first sentence.
But Yan Laoba, who was lying on the bench and drinking, said: "I don't think there's any problem, I can go if I want to, and I play around in that bucket every day, and it may not be better than going through a beast tide." ”
Ouyang Xialiu frowned slightly, and said: "The danger of the beast tide is secondary, I am mainly worried that the gangster leader will take the opportunity to attack." ”
Lu Ping'an said: "We will try our best to pay attention to this matter, and when fighting against the beast tide, the situation must be extremely chaotic, even if we can't beat that guy, we can still escape." ”
Having said that, Ouyang Xia was still inevitably worried, and after thinking for a moment, she summoned a hosta in her hand.
"This hosta contains a small part of my power, and if you inject spiritual power to activate it, it will be enough to seriously injure any monk below the reincarnation realm. ”
Lu Ping'an was stunned, thinking that if he had this thing, he was really not afraid that Zhao Shengrong would come to trouble him.
Thinking about it, Lu Ping'an hurriedly took it and said, "Thank you, Sister Xia!"
Ouyang Xia said: "But you suddenly came over, I didn't prepare, there is only one thing for this, the three of you had better not get separated." ”
Lu Ping'an nodded and said, "Well, of course I understand." ”
Ouyang Xia glanced at Yan Laoba and asked, "Brother Yan, don't you have anything to say?"
Yan Laoba poured a sip of wine into his mouth, wiped his mouth after drinking, and said, "Just come back alive, the rest...... I'm sure you kid can handle it. ”
Lu Ping'an smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, Master, I haven't finished learning the sword yet, where can I be willing to die?"
Then, after listening to Ouyang Xia's brief explanation, Lu Ping'an turned around and left the room.
There were only two people left in the room, and Ouyang Xia suddenly asked, "Brother Yan, are you sure he will appear today?"
Hearing this, Yan Laoba's lazy eyes suddenly brightened, and he said, "I'm sure, he will definitely appear." ”
Yan Laoba came to Tongning City and searched for nearly two months, but he never found the young sect master.
But he was convinced that the other party would definitely show up, so he kept waiting......
This day has finally arrived.
......
Under the scorching sun, the largest square in Tongning City was full of people from all walks of life.
The people sent by the three major forces must be the most numerous and strongest, occupying more than half of the entire square.
Lu Ping'an, the three of them, as individuals with no door and no faction, mixed in the crowd after some disguise.
In fact, they can also be with the people of Yanxia Villa, but Lu Ping'an thinks that this will be easier to find by Zhao Shengrong.
Because everyone knows that they have been sheltering in the mountain villa recently, and they are going to come out with that group of people.
Besides, if they wanted to be protected for the sake of safety, they wouldn't have ventured out.
Shi Hao looked around and said, "There are so many people here. ”
Guo Lanying nodded and said, "I have lived here for more than twenty years, and I have never seen so many cultivators gathered together. ”
Lu Ping'an said: "Normally, they are all in their own camps, unless there is a war between major forces, it is impossible for this kind of scene to occur, and as far as I know, the last time there was a beast tide in Tongning Forest was more than a hundred years ago." ”
Shi Hao asked, "Didn't the Purple Thunder Lion King give birth once in about fifty years, why didn't he launch the beast tide fifty years ago?"
Guo Lanying said: "It seems that because I was stillborn before that time, I was stillborn, so I ......"
Lu Ping'an said: "We just happened to meet us this time, I really don't know whether to say lucky or unlucky." ”
Guo Lanying suddenly remembered another thing and said, "Did the Purple Thunder Lion Beast Core you got last time come in handy?"
"Not yet, maybe we need to wait a little longer, what's wrong?"
Guo Lanying said with a smile: "Then this time, maybe you can hunt a higher grade." ”
Lu Ping'an understood what she meant, and said with a smile: "I still want to get the lion king's beast core, but in the beast tide, the closer you get to the lion king's lion group, the greater the danger, aren't we really going to go?"
Guo Lanying said: "Anyway, there will always be people who will go, why don't we just go together?"
Lu Ping'an thought for a while and said, "Well, this is a good idea, but we still have to be cautious, although the more dangerous it is, the more potential can be stimulated, but it is not a wise move to run directly to find death." ”
As he was talking, a group of people suddenly came out of the high platform above the square.
There are the leaders of the three major forces in this operation, as well as representatives of all parties.
But in order to avoid being dissatisfied with each other and causing conflicts, they instead asked the city lord who existed in name only to stand up as a spokesperson.
If it weren't for this kind of big event, many people would even forget that Tongning City also had such a city lord.
The lord of the city was a middle-aged man, short and stocky, who looked more like a rich man, without the majesty and leadership temperament of a city lord.
When he first began to speak, the people below were still making a fuss, and few people listened to him.
It wasn't until the leaders of the major forces scolded each other a few times that the crowd quieted down and listened to the city lord tell some of the information about this beast tide.
The content is actually very simple, it is nothing more than a preemptive strike to kill those demon beasts that are about to form a beast tide.
The city lord was specially arranged to come out, mainly to let everyone unite as one, put aside the past prejudices and contradictions, and resist the beast tide together.
I have to say that although the city lord did not make any domineering declarations, he knew that he was moved by emotion and reason, and regarded Tongning City as a big homeland, hoping that everyone could work together to defend it, as if he was really a parent official who loved this city deeply, and did not want to see it destroyed by demon beasts.
Many people were moved, not because of the city lord himself, but because they agreed with what he said, if they still wanted to continue living in Tongning City, then there was no reason not to fight hard.
Even a strong and resolute person like Guo Lanying has a sour nose, the reason is very simple, Tongning City is her home.
After saying a lot, the city lord took a deep breath and said, "Finally, I borrow a phrase that the hunters of the Demon Slaying Society often say, I wish everyone a full return!"
The crowd below shouted in unison, "Return!"
When Lu Ping'an first heard the hunters say this word, he thought it meant superficially.
Later, I slowly realized that in fact, the most important thing is the word "return".
It's good to be back.
Now that it is used in this operation, it has a deeper meaning, only by keeping the city, can there be a place to return.
The city lord's shouting really played an inspiring role and motivating unity, and many people's eyes and expressions changed.
Immediately afterwards, the people were united with high morale and marched towards the Tongning Forest.
And in case there are some relatively scattered demon beast groups, which have become fish that have slipped through the net, they will make a detour to attack Tongning City.
The leaders discussed, leaving a small force behind to guard the city-state, such as the city lord and the soldiers and horses in his city lord's mansion.
Ouyang Xia was still in the villa, and the big shopkeeper of Wanrong Commercial Bank did not show up, and the leader of the three major forces, only Xu Hong personally led people to set off.
Many people believe that this is because Yanxia Villa and Vang Vieng Commercial Bank are very rich and don't care about those things.
And Xu Hong himself developed from a small hunter, he probably wanted to take down the beast core of the Purple Thunder Lion King.
On the bright side, he is the strongest person in the entire team, and if he really targets the Lion King Beast Core, then it is impossible for others to have a chance to get involved.
Lu Ping'an and the three of them, after learning about this from other people's conversations, their expressions became solemn.
Shi Hao asked, "Then do you want to go?"
Lu Ping'an and Guo Lanying said in unison: "Go!"
"Xu Hong's main attention will be on the Lion King, and he shouldn't take care of us. ”
"As a hunter, even if I can't hunt with my own hands, I want to see with my own eyes what the end of that lion king will be. ”
Shi Hao smiled bitterly: "Then what else do I need to say? Let's go!"
When Lu Ping'an and the three of them entered the Tongning Forest with the large team, not long after, suddenly, there was a strong vibration on the ground, rumbling, as if there were thousands of troops and horses galloping!
If an ordinary person were standing here, he would probably think that there was an earthquake.
But the cultivators here all felt the extremely surging demon beast aura, and their faces changed suddenly.
In Lu Ping'an's mind, the detection prompts of various demon beasts kept ringing, if he hadn't forcibly asked to stop broadcasting, I don't know when it would have sounded.
It didn't take long for Lu Ping'an to clearly perceive the situation ahead.
There are all kinds of different kinds of monsters, with an incalculable sheer number rushing out of the depths of the forest.
A large piece of black pressure is really like a frenzy, and the scene is extremely spectacular and terrifying!
The earth is shaking, and people's hearts are pounding.
I don't know how many experienced and self-proclaimed brave hunters have subconsciously become warlords.
But this is just an instinctive reaction, and it doesn't mean that they are really afraid.
"The beast tide is coming, kill!"
A shout rang out somewhere, and immediately after, everyone shouted, "Kill!"
The momentum is huge, resounding through the world.
The cultivators showed their weapons one after another, used their spiritual power, and quickly entered the battle state, facing the tide of beasts, rushing forward to kill!
