Chapter Twenty-Five: The Beast Attacks the City
As soon as I arrived at the lobby of the inn, I met Xiao Er. Xiao Er was surprised to see him come back. "This young man, you're back. In today's big battle, you're fine. ”
"The city lord is as terrible as you think. I haven't eaten yet, so bring dinner to my room. After saying that, Xiaoman went straight upstairs. The next few days were peaceful, Xiaoman ate and drank in the city, and occasionally went to the training camp to see how they trained. Xiao Tian has become more and more lazy since he made meritorious contributions. Now basically his feet are almost off the ground, and Xiaoman has no choice but to carry him out. Today, Xiaoman plans to make a dress, firstly, he is tired of wearing the original clothes, and secondly, he has other needs. He went to the tailor's shop and asked the tailor to make a robe for him. He demanded that he must wear a hood behind the robe, and he also put Xiaotian inside.
In recent days, the whole city has been discussing him, a little guy from outside, and he heard that his martial arts are strong, and the city lord does not dare to embarrass him. It's really more and more outrageous, and Xiaoman doesn't pay attention to this, after all, the mouth grows on others. On this day, Xiaoman came to the old man's bun shop to eat steamed buns. While eating, the old man came. "Young man, didn't you come out to practice? I advise you to leave quickly. ”
"Why?"
"Because the beast is coming recently, I'm afraid that you won't be disabled at a young age. ”
"Grandpa, why don't you go?"
"Where can I go with an old bone, I was born and grew up here, and I will definitely die here. You're different, you're young. So listen to grandpa's advice and leave quickly. ”
"Okay grandpa, I got it. Thank you. After admonishing the little man, the old man went back to his own business. Xiaoman and Xiaotian finished eating the buns, put the money on the table and left.
That night, everything was silent. Xiaoman went to bed early, and when he slept until midnight, he suddenly had a pain in his arm. Xiao Man quickly woke up and turned around. Xiao Tian pulled him to signal that there was a situation outside. Xiao Man was puzzled, there was no noise outside. Out of trust in Xiaotian, he still got up and walked out with Xiaotian. Xiao Tian kept letting Xiao Man walk to the edge of the city wall before stopping. Ascending the city wall, I happened to encounter the patrol. Since Xiaoman has often appeared in the training camp recently, he is also familiar with them. "It's a little brother, what are you doing on the city wall without sleeping at night?"
"I slept well, but my brother was pulling me out, and I was afraid that something would happen, so I came to take a look. Be careful. As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Man seemed to see a few black shadows flashing. "Did you see anything passing?"
"What's the matter, you're dazzled at night!"
Xiaoman still feels that something is wrong, he has grown up in the dark since he was a child, and his eyesight is still relatively good. So there must be something in the past. Thinking of this, the Thousand Illusions transformed into Fang Tian's Halberd were on guard at any time. Suddenly, a large mouth bit at the two of them. The blood basin was full of fangs and drool, and before he could react, Xiao Man cut off the beast's head with a halberd.
"Enemy attack, fierce beasts attack the city, light torches. ”
Immediately, one after another fires lit up, illuminating the inside and outside of the city very clearly. Only then did they see a dense black shadow outside.
"Quick, Enlightenment. Be sure to make it until dawn. How could a damn beast attack a city at night, it had never been before. ”
The next short paragraph seems to be for myself. As they activated the spiritual momentum, a curtain of light appeared out of thin air. The appearance of the light curtain prevented the arrival of many fierce beasts. They were frantically attacking the light curtain. The situation of the light curtain was quite stable, so the fierce beast couldn't come for a while.
"Little brother, thanks to you just now, otherwise my head will not be protected, and it will be bad if the beast enters the city. ”
Xiao Man smiled embarrassedly, he didn't know that Xiao Tian's senses were so sensitive. Now the question is how to hold on until dawn. Fortunately, the spiritual momentum was still relatively reliable, and the fierce beasts rushed towards the spiritual momentum one after another, and the spiritual momentum only caused ripples. It doesn't seem like a big problem. Now what they have to worry about is what to do with the fierce beasts in the spiritual power. The people, including Xiaoman, could only cheer up their spirits to avoid a fierce beast running into the city. I don't know if they informed the city lord. Now everyone kills fierce beasts and is covered in blood, and Xiaoman is no exception. They don't know how long they have been killed, and there is finally a glimmer of light in the sky. Yes, it was about to dawn, and they managed to hold on. As soon as dawn came, people and horses came to support the city lord's mansion. They opened the gates and swept away the beasts inside. The beast crisis has eased for the time being.
Soon the lord of the castle climbed the stone wall, and after greeting the soldiers, he let them go down to rest. Then his gaze turned to Xiao Man.
"Little brother, it's really thanks to you. If it weren't for you, the people of this city wouldn't know what would have happened. ”
"Lord of the city, you are too polite, I slept in a daze last night, but my brother Xiaotian woke me up and dragged me all the way here. If you want to thank him, just get him something good. ”
"Okay, I got it. You've worked hard, you can go back and rest!"
On the way back to the inn, Xiao Man met Cheng Yi who was ready to go, and Cheng Yi led everyone in leather armor Xiao Man walked over to say hello to them.
"Early, Chengyi, are you going to kill the beast?"
"Yes. I heard that the fierce beasts attacked the city last night, and this time I'm afraid it will not be easy. By the way, Xiaoman, you are covered in blood, you can't just come down, right?"
"yes, I slept well last night, and this stupid dog pulled me up. The result was a siege of the city. You guys go and be careful, I'll go back and change my clothes and rest for a while, and then I'll come over and help you. ”
Bidding farewell to everyone, Xiaoman returned to the inn covered in blood. The shopkeeper saw that he was covered in blood, and hurriedly boiled water for him to wash. After taking a bath, eating and drinking, Xiaoman lay on the bed and fell asleep. He had been fighting for a long time last night. By the time he woke up again, it was already noon. After eating, he took a weapon and stuffed Xiaotian into his hood. When Xiaoman arrived at the training camp, Cheng Yi and the others just came back to eat and rest. Seeing them covered in mud and blood, they looked very tired. Everyone was very happy to see Xiaoman.
"Xiaoman, you're here. ”
After saying that, he smiled.
"Chengyi, what are you riding? ”
"It's a wildebeest. This horse was crossed with a demon beast. Ordinary horses are frightened by ferocious beasts. This kind of horse will not, but this kind of horse is a little more ferocious and more difficult to tame. Usually domesticated by animal trainers in other places, only fierce beasts will be released when they attack the city. ”
"Anything else? I'll try. ”
"Are you sure? If you get hurt, you're not good. ”
"It's fine. I'll give it a try. ”
"Okay, then you can try my horse first. ”
Xiao Man took the reins from Cheng Yi's hand. This wildebeest is larger than the average horse, and it has scales on its body, which makes it look imposing. Xiao Man turned over and got on the horse, and as soon as he went up to the wildebeest, he raised his front hooves and jumped wildly, trying to let Xiao Man throw himself down. However, Xiaoman's legs were tightly closed, like a nail stuck to the horse, and he couldn't let it shake. It didn't take long for the wildebeest to quiet down, and Xiao Man knew that he was submitting it. Cheng Yi next to him was stunned, they have all cultivated a relationship with the wildebeest since they were children, so the wildebeest will recognize himself. But Xiaoman had just gone up not long ago, which surprised him very much. After seeing Xiaoman's methods, Cheng Yi decided to match Xiaoman with a wildebeest, which would enhance their combat power a lot. After eating and drinking, Cheng Yi led Xiaoman to the place where wildebeest was raised. No wonder Xiaoman has never seen a wildebeest underground. Xiao Man picked a horse he liked, and after a little taming, he followed Cheng Yi back to the training camp.
Chengyi and they received an order, they were to go west of the city to kill the beast. The west of the city is also the place with the fewest fierce beasts, and when they get to the west of the city, they set up a charging formation. This made Xiaoman feel redundant, because Xiaoman had never cooperated with them. There is no way, Xiaoman can only be on the outermost side of the team. His task is to support, and a brick with a high level of consciousness needs to be moved. After opening the city gate, everyone shouted up, and there was a mighty herd of fierce beasts outside. At a glance, you can't see the edge. Xiao Man looked at the numb scalp, when will these fierce beasts be killed. On the other hand, there are at least so many fierce beasts in the west of the city, so how many fierce beasts should there be in the other three directions. Set up a charging formation, leaving no armor anywhere you go. It was fine at first, and everyone slowly pushed forward. Xiaoman's occasional support didn't have any major problems. But it didn't take long for Chengyi's horse to seem a little disobedient. Pull Chengyi all the way to run wildly. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiaoman could only ride a horse to follow.
"Chengyi, you hurry up. ”
"I'm happy you uncle, I'm going to die. ”
Good guy, I completely misunderstood what Xiaoman meant. There was no way, Xiaoman had to whip hard, and finally caught up with Chengyi. He pulled Cheng Yi from his frightened horse to his own horse, and then rode back. This accident frightened Cheng Yi, and he thought he was going to confess. Fortunately, Xiaoman's quick reaction saved his life. This situation could no longer be fought, and the people had to ride back to the city. After a little rest, they continued to kill. This time, Xiao Man rushed to the forefront, he didn't worry that Cheng Yi was in the front, in case of another accident, he might not be able to come back. Xiao Man opened and closed with a halberd at the very front, and all the fierce beasts that approached were either smashed or killed. For a while, he forcibly penetrated the fierce beast, and the people behind him were full of momentum.
Xiao Man rushed to the front, like the god of war descending for a while, and the fierce beasts they kept interspersing and fighting among the fierce beasts scattered and fled. The battle continued into the evening. Seeing that it was getting dark, everyone had to go back to the city to rest. With their return, a spiritual momentum rose outside the city walls.
The blood boiled outside the killing, and he felt tired and painful when he came back. The number of people was counted, and it was found that there were five people missing. The five men were probably turned into a beast's dinner. All of you who didn't die were wounded. Although five people died, they didn't seem to be too sad to look at. It was as if they were used to it, and Xiao Man didn't have much to say about it, he could do enough. After saying goodbye to everyone, Xiaoman went back to the inn to rest, he was really tired today.
The shopkeeper had already prepared everything Xiao Man only found that his right arm was swollen when he took off his clothes and took a bath, and his right hand was still trembling slightly, and he didn't know if it was because of the swelling or because of too much killing today.
