Chapter 22: One Hand Covers the Sky
Near noon, Xiao Wanyu finished training, Du Luo took a towel to help her wipe her sweat, and then opened the door of the practice room with a smile.
The next moment the two were stunned, faintly heard the rumbling sound of artillery fire, several creatures that looked like big bats were flying along the passage, squeaking from their mouths, Dulo stretched out his hand and pulled her back to the practice room, quickly locking the door.
Xiao Wanyue's face was very bad, and she exclaimed, "How did the bloodthirsty bat run into the city!" ”
Du Luo also had palpitations, but fortunately in time, once they were surrounded by bloodthirsty bats, the two of them would be in danger.
"It can't be my father, they're ghosts, right?" Xiao Wanyue exclaimed in surprise.
Du Luo shook his head, "The city defense cannon is firing, it should be a beast tide attack, and the flying beast is the most difficult to prevent, so it rushed into the city first." ”
Xiao Wanyue's face immediately turned pale, "Beast tide? Did you hear it right? ”
Du Luo smiled bitterly, "The city defense artillery is all heavy artillery, I heard it well, Xuanwu City is really dangerous now!" ”
He had a guess in his heart, it should be because the Sky Swallowing Python was traveling westward, and those fierce beasts were trying to avoid it, which formed a beast tide to hit the city.
But he was wrong, on the top of the tallest building in Xuanwu City, there was a signal tower, and at the top of the tower, a man wearing a hood and a mask looked down on the chaotic city with cold eyes.
At the bottom of the tower, the same masked men were packing up their tools, and one of them looked up in prayer.
"Young Alliance Master, the signal has stabilized, the Sky Swallowing Python is still more than a hundred miles away, we can retreat."
The man at the top of the tower stretched out a hand to block the sun shining on him, and looked at the sunlight exposed between his fingers, and smiled arrogantly.
"Covering the sky with one hand, the Heaven Covering Alliance will definitely dominate the world, and this Xuanwu City is the second sacrifice."
After speaking, he fell lightly and led several people to evacuate immediately.
The towering towers still emit strange frequencies that humans can't hear, but have a special attraction for beasts.
And on the path of the Sky Swallowing Python, there are many small signal emission points, luring it to approach step by step.
Du Luo and Xiao Wanyue didn't know anything, and they still hid in the practice room that they thought was safe.
I didn't know that a large number of people who got the news were fleeing from Ximen, and the people sent by Xiao Deyun to look for them were also mixed in, and they didn't come to the academy at all.
Several major families in the city want to spread rumors and cause chaos, so as to steal the real estate of Xuanwu City.
But the rumors have turned into reality and indirectly saved the lives of many people!
"Gollum ......"
Dulo's stomach suddenly sounded with a bowel sound, breaking the silence in the practice room.
Xiao Wanyue originally looked sad, but was directly amused, and stretched out her hand to touch his forehead, "You are a pig, you only know how to eat." ”
I silently put my stomach on my stomach again, exercised all morning, and was also very hungry, so I hesitated to get up and carefully open the door.
Duro immediately got up as well, looking vigilant, ready to close the door at any moment.
The two listened intently, and the artillery fire had become sparse.
It should have repelled the beast tide!
The two thought self-righteously, Xiao Wanyue slowly poked her head out and found that several bloodthirsty bats had long since disappeared.
walked out of the practice room and smiled at Du Luoyan, "Look at what scared you, it's okay, come out." ”
Du Luo breathed a sigh of relief and walked out, Xiao Wanyue took the initiative to protect him behind him, and when the two of them walked towards the door, a terrifying explosion suddenly sounded.
"Boom!"
The entire Xuanwu City was trembling, and the two of them stood unsteadily, reaching out to support the wall, watching the mushroom cloud rise from the eastern sky, revealing a shocked expression.
Dulo looked at the place where the mushroom cloud was rising, and quickly estimated the explosion distance in his heart, and his face turned pale.
"It's broken, someone blew up the walls!"
Xiao Wanyue glared at him, "What nonsense, no one would do that." ”
Dulo smiled bitterly, it seems that she has lived in the greenhouse for too long, she doesn't understand the cruelty of the outside world, and many people do anything in order to fulfill their ambitions.
"Trust me, let's go to the West Gate and flee quickly."
"No, I'll go find my parents first."
Xiao Wanyue took out her mobile phone and dialed it, and at this time, the campus radio sounded, and hurried words came.
"Students...... Students...... The city wall has been destroyed, the beast tide has entered the city, and the Sky Swallowing Python is less than a hundred miles away, so everyone should flee for their lives...... It's not a joke, it's not a joke, it's too late......"
Xiao Wanyue's face turned pale, the phone was connected, and Zhao Yuanxin's words of concern came.
"You've finally replied to the news, hurry up and come to the imperial capital to join us."
Xiao Wanyue said stupidly, "We're still in the academy!" ”
"What! Didn't you see the guy sent to pick you up? ”
At this moment, the two saw a lot of people who had just learned the news run out of hiding, and an off-road vehicle drove quickly to the front.
It was Hu Yarou who was driving, and Jiao exhaled, "I've been looking for you for a long time, hurry up and get in the car!" ”
Du Luo pulled Xiao Wanyue, who was still talking, into the car, and Hu Yarou immediately drove away from the car quickly.
Xiao Wanyue hung up the call and asked urgently, "Why don't you go to the west gate?" ”
Hu Yarou responded quickly, "The west gate has already been blocked, let's go to the north gate." ”
He said dissatisfiedly, "I can't get through to call you, so I guess it's in the practice room, and you didn't hear me knocking on the door one by one?" ”
The two smiled bitterly, they really didn't hear it, the door was so thick, Xiao Wanyue had been kicking the metal stake, and the sound was very loud.
Seeing that she had been looking for her regardless of her own safety, Xiao Wanyue was very moved.
"Worthy of being my good sister, thank you!"
Hu Yarou came back directly, "I'm saving Luo Luo, and you're a partner." ”
Xiao Wanyue's face darkened, knowing that she was still angry with herself, but after all, when she came to save people, she didn't fight back, but held Du Luo's hand.
The streets are already chaotic, full of people who have escaped from the shelter, and luckily someone is broadcasting, otherwise they don't even know the truth.
Most of the people fled towards the west gate, which was already heavily blocked, and when the off-road vehicles rushed to the north gate, it was also blocked.
"Damn it!"
Hu Yarou slapped the steering wheel angrily, but when she wanted to reverse, there was a rear-end collision behind her, but after a slight delay, a large number of cars were blocked behind.
"Roaring ......"
A beast roar came from outside the city, and the front immediately became chaotic, and many people abandoned the car and fled.
"The manticore-tailed tiger is coming, run away......"
The faces of the three were pale, Hu Yarou drove the door to escape, but Du Luo shouted in a low voice.
"Don't go out, lie down and hide!"
couldn't help but suppress Xiao Wanyu's body, and Hu Yarou had no choice but to lie on the co-pilot's seat.
A terrifying figure quickly appeared, it was an enlarged version of the tiger, more than two meters tall and more than ten meters long, with a huge scorpion tail with colorful patterns on its tail, and the poisonous needle flashed with metallic cold light.
It galloped into the city in a continuous stream of vehicles, and the scorpion tail kept stabbing the fleeing crowd and chasing it all the way.
