Chapter 61: The Beast Tide
Chapter 61: The Beast Tide
Shout!
A sharp sound of breaking the air broke the silence of Bijiang City.
At this moment, with the loud bang of this life, all the monks looked at the sky above the City Lord's Mansion, and a dazzling light went straight into the sky, and exploded with a bang, and then a huge "Ling" word glowing red appeared in the sky.
At this time, although it was noon, the blood-red light of the word "order" was transmitted to every corner of Bijiang City.
Bijiang City, also boiling under the light of this huge "word", in the direction of the city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest, the wolf smoke billowing into the sky like a tide, and a horn resounded through the sky.
Qiang Qiang Qiang ......
Bijiang City usually rarely saw the army also marching rapidly on the street, and the armor that looked heavy on his body was cold and cold at this time, this kind of armor was the symbol of the ordinary army of the Immortal Seal Empire, and many people would be able to wear such military uniforms as a pursuit, a kind of glory. This is not because of the dazzle of the armor, but because it is a status symbol, a sign of strength.
They were in a hurry, but the ranks were still neat and undisturbed.
However, on the other hand, the ordinary people and ordinary monks in Bijiang City were full of panic at this time, as if the end was coming, some people were calling for children loudly in a panic, and some people were quickly looking for things to strengthen the doors and windows, so the shops were basically closed at the same time, and some monks even formed groups of three or five, looking at the map in their hands and discussing how to escape from Bijiang City.
Of course, there are also people who want to take advantage of this opportunity, so they are also looking for opportunities, after all, chaos comes with opportunities.
In the Yang Mansion, Yang Xiaotian muttered to himself with a solemn face:
"Impossible? It stands to reason that there are still ten years to go, how can it be so advanced?"
Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly looked anxiously and asked:
"Chen'er, have all the guards at home gone to Qingling Mountain?"
Yang Chen looked at his father's face and knew that the matter was far more serious than he thought, so he said solemnly:
"Yes Father!"
When Yang Xiaotian heard Yang Chen's answer, his fingers trembled slightly, and he sighed, a little frustrated.
"Could it be that this is really my Yang family's catastrophe?"
At this time, Yang Xiaotian felt extremely tired, he sat on the chair weakly, seeing this situation, Yang Chen couldn't help but ask:
"Father, what the hell is going on?"
"Alas!"
Yang Xiaotian sighed, looked at Yang Chen, and said in a somewhat gentle tone:
"I don't know as a father, since a long time ago, every hundred years, the fierce beasts in the depths of Qingling Mountain will attack the surrounding human settlements, and the places they pass will only be reduced to ruins, this is the terrifying beast tide. ”
Yang Chen was a little puzzled, since it was regular, then it should be taken precautions, but it was said that the time was advanced, what was going on at this time? Beast tide, of course he knew, there were many reasons for the beast tide, but anyway, for ordinary people, it was indeed a disaster, but he asked with some doubts:
"Father, so last time Bijiang City also suffered from the beast tide, but I feel that Bijiang City has been established for more than a hundred years?"
Yang Xiaotian glanced at Yang Chen with some surprise and said:
"You're right, a city as big as Bijiang City can basically defend against the attack of the beast tide, but every time it loses a lot, especially ordinary people will drop a lot!"
Speaking of this, Yang Xiaotian's tone was full of helplessness and sadness, this world is cruel, he is not a savior, and he can't save so many people, so he is a little emotional.
"Father, this world is so cruel in the first place, for those weak people who are powerless to resist, I can just have a clear conscience, whether I can survive depends on their creation!"
"Do you have a clear conscience? It seems that you have indeed seen many things more clearly than your father, and your father doesn't know when you learned these things, Chen'er, come on!"
Yang Xiaotian saw that since his son had enlightened himself, he did feel a little emotional, it seemed that he really didn't need to be too careful, but he suddenly turned to Yang Chen and said:
"You hurry up and leave Bijiang City, right?"
"Father?"
Yang Chen was a little puzzled, his father should be able to understand that it was no problem for him to protect himself in such a situation, but why did he want to leave.
"Alas, every beast tide is led by powerful beasts, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and sometimes my father can't take care of it a lot, so leave for a while, your mother and I won't have anything to do, and the city will be closed later. ”
Yang Chen didn't refute, because he had already made up his mind whether to go or not. Of course, in fact, in terms of Yang Xiaotian's current strength, this beast tide should not pose any threat to him, but as a last resort, he still doesn't want to expose his strength, this is not selfishness, just self-protection. Because once he is exposed, Qingyangmen is estimated to deal with the Yang family immediately.
"It's just that the encouragement of more than 20 people from our Yang family can only be buried in Qingling Mountain, and it seems that the Yang family can only start over. After all, with their strength, the hope of coming back alive is too slim. Time also, life also!"
Yang Chen never said anything more, so he kept making Yang Xiaotian sigh.
"Chen'er, tell your mother before you leave, your father is going to the city lord's mansion. ”
"Yes, Father!"
Seeing Yang Xiaotian go out, Yang Chen's face became gloomy, the twenty or so people of the Yang family are all the members of the Yang family who can be regarded as combat power at present, if they hang up, the Yang family will suffer huge losses, not to mention, Yang Chen's heart is also more painful, so the haze in his eyes will not dissipate.
The city of Bijiang City is now full of snakes, insects, rats and ants, and many small insects that usually feel docile seem to have begun to become manic, and their aggression has increased a lot, which is a sign that the beast tide is coming.
Now, sparse beasts can be seen on the road outside Bijiang City, but the number is relatively small, and they have not formed a scale, these beasts have a faint blood red in their eyes, and they keep rubbing the trunk with their hard parts, or hitting stones, or destroying the ground with their limbs.
A chaotic roar can be heard in Bijiang City, and this kind of sound is terrifying.
However, not everyone sees the beast tide as a disaster, and some people make a lot of money because of the approaching beast tide, such as the medicine hall, which is not as good as the refining workshop. There are also many monks who turn the door to hunt beasts, collect useful parts, and then sell them to earn more spirit stones, after all, now that the beasts have taken the initiative to send them to the door, it would be stupid not to do it, no, there are such monks outside the city now hunting these beasts that are not yet large-scale. Because these places can kill beasts when you enter, and you can enter the city when you retreat with your legs, there is nothing to worry about.
On the city walls, the army was ready to attack, and various fortifications were being built at the same time.
At this moment, in the City Lord's Mansion, large and small forces are discussing how to survive this beast tide. Of course, no one wants to take the lead alone, more than hoping that others will contribute more, and it is best for them to watch it, so now they are arguing with a red face, this is human nature, even in the face of disasters, the first thing that comes to mind is to preserve their own strength.
However, all this has nothing to do with Yang Chen, because at this moment, he is dressed in black and rushing out of the city.
............
A small village with only a few households, the lights are bright, and the crying of children, the wailing of adults, and the roar of wild beasts mingle together. In this oppressive atmosphere, they hand-made all kinds of weapons, and looked at the fierce beasts with red eyes around them in fear. At this time, some of them had blood marks on their bodies, their clothes were uncovered, the tools they usually used for farming in their hands had blood droplets, and there were the corpses of fierce beasts on the ground, and of course the corpses of humans, but they didn't seem to have time to grieve.
The broken fences were their last barrier, but they knew it wouldn't protect them.
Several women are clinging to their children in their arms, trying to do everything they can to keep their children alive in this catastrophe, and a simple cellar is the mother's last choice, but when everything is calm, are they lucky enough to be discovered?
It's a sorrow, a merciless indictment of heaven and earth, why is this tragedy befalling them? But that's the reality, that's the world.
Roar!
A beastly roar made these ordinary people shudder, they knew that there was a big guy approaching.
Several men quickly found a few bundles of dry firewood, piled them together, and lit them. The light of the fire grew brighter in the breeze, and they wanted to use it to stop the beasts from attacking, after all, most beasts are afraid of fire.
"Come on, be careful, brother. ”
A big man who looked a little strong said to the others, and at the same time, the hoe in his hand was also held tightly, and his body leaned down slightly, ready to meet at any time.
