When Luo Chen and the others arrived at the West Shield Fortress, there were already a lot of people gathered there, and at this time, a group of people were desperately banging on the city gate, while those old and weak women and children were basically sitting on the side of the road, their faces full of loss.

"Why doesn't this fortress open its door?" Luo Chen frowned, and hurriedly ran forward to inquire about the situation, only to learn that these people had been knocking on the door here for a long time, but no one in the fortress paid attention to them at all, and the guards above only said that the general of the fortress did not allow them to open the city gate, lest the demon beast take the opportunity to break in.

"This is obviously fucking nonsense!" Luo Chen said angrily, the demon beast took the opportunity to break in, this is completely an excuse, the general is clearly ignoring the life and death of the people, it is really hateful.

In fact, Luo Chen has clearly felt through the memory of the original owner of the body that the current Dashang Dynasty seems to be very mediocre and corrupt, just as the so-called whether a country is strong or not depends on the number of beggars on the street.

Although Luo Chen has never been to other cities, there are countless beggars and orphans in their border town, as well as bullies like black wolves.

As the so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, although Luo Chen has not come into contact with the upper echelons of the dynasty, nor has he been to the big cities of the dynasty, he doesn't have to think about it to know that it is not much better.

"It's another group of inhuman beasts, there was the Cheng family before, and now there is this fortress garrison, it stands to reason that the beast tide is coming, these fortress garrisons are going to send troops to drive away the demon beasts, but not only did they not plan to send troops, but they also closed the city gates, not giving these people a chance to escape, this is simply ......" Mo Lao also gritted his teeth angrily, not knowing what to scold those people.

"Damn, what are we going to do?" The fat man said with an uneasy face, "In case another demon beast comes......"

Roar –

Before the fat man could finish speaking, a terrifying roar came from a distance, although the sound seemed to come from a long distance, but it also made the hearts of these people who had just experienced the terrible beast tide and were like frightened birds, and a kind of panic and uneasiness arose.

"It seems that those people from the Fenglan Sect are right, this beast tide may not be just that wave!" Luo Chen said with some concern.

"Damn, how can this be, if we can't get into the fortress, sooner or later we have to ...... Shit, these goddamn bastards! The fat man was not calm, and he couldn't help but rush over and join the crowd that was slamming the city gate even more frantically.

Obviously, those people, like the fat man, were frightened by the beast's roar just now.

"Mo Lao, do you have a way to go up?" Luo Chen said with a solemn face.

Mo Lao frowned, looked at the city wall, and shook his head slightly: "This fortress city wall is really too high, unless it is a wind attribute monk, or has learned some special flying martial arts, or uses a special flying magic weapon, it is basically impossible to cross such a high city wall!" ”

Mo Lao's words made Luo Chen's face sink, but at this moment, Mo Lao seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "Eh, by the way, there seems to be a grappling hook in my storage ring, which is the tool I used to climb over the cliff a long time ago!" ”

As he spoke, Mo Lao hurriedly looked at his finger, but found that his storage ring was missing, and then he remembered that this body was not his original body: "Oh no, my storage ring ......"

Hearing Mo Lao's words, Luo Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran over and pulled the fat man over: "The fat man took out Mo Lao's ring!" ”

"Huh? Oh! The fat man hurriedly took out the ring he had taken off from Old Mo's hand before, and said with a smile: "I guess this must be very important to you, so I specially helped you take it off at that time!" ”

"Haha, okay, that's it" Mo Lao hurriedly took the ring and immediately took out a grappling hook with a rope attached to it from it.

"Great, so we have a way to get up!" Luo Chen was overjoyed, as long as they had a way to climb over the city wall, they would have the opportunity to open the city gate inside and let the people in.

"But if we go up now, we will definitely be shot into a sieve by the guards, and the sun will soon set, and when it is night, we will sneak in and open the city gates." Mo Lao said in a low voice, and immediately put away the grappling hook.

"Hmm!" Luo Chen nodded, and the fat man on the side also breathed a sigh of relief, secretly saying that this time he was saved again, this day was really thrilling, nine deaths and one life.

"Old Mo, let's go to the side of the road and take a rest!" Luo Chen took Mo Lao and the fat man to the crowd on the side of the road, and sat down next to a woman holding a little girl.

At this moment, there was another beast roar in the distance, which couldn't help but make the surrounding people a little commotion, and their faces became even more ugly.

"Mom, I'm scared!" The little girl hugged her mother's thigh tightly, her fleshy face was full of fear, she looked like she was only four or five years old, her big eyes were dark, and she wore two pigtails, which was very cute.

Maybe it was because the original owner of his body used to have a younger sister, so Luo Chen had an instinctive love for this cute little girl, and couldn't help but look at the little girl with a smile, but seeing that the little girl was also looking at him curiously and vigilantly, Luo Chen smiled slightly and asked, "Little sister, how old are you?" ”

"Ling'er, tell my brother how old he is!" The girl's mother squatted down and said.

"Four years old!" The little girl said in a milky voice, and after speaking, she buried her head in her mother's arms with some embarrassment, and then said coquettishly: "Mom, what if we can't get in there?" ”

Hearing the girl's words, the mother did not answer, but looked at the unattainable city wall with a solemn face, because she didn't know how to answer, in front of it was the impassable fortress, and behind it was the endless mountain range with countless man-eating demon beasts, she knew very well that if the general couldn't find out with his conscience and let them in, they would sooner or later become food for those demon beasts.

Thinking that her lovely daughter is so young, she is going to experience this terrible disaster, and she is going to die tragically in the mouth of the demon beast, her heart is like a knife, full of sadness, and she can't wait to die by herself, so that she can exchange her daughter's way of life.

"Ling'er, don't be afraid, we must have a way to get in!" Luo Chen saw the mother's despair, so he comforted the mother.

"Really?" The little girl suddenly turned her head and stared at Luo Chen with big black eyes, her gaze was so clean and innocent.

"Really, when it gets dark, the gates will open!" Luo Chen said with a smile.

"Mom, is what this big brother said true?" The little girl looked at her mother again and asked, the mother could only smile bitterly and nodded, but she knew very well in her heart that this Luo Chen was just coaxing her daughter to be happy.

However, Luo Chen's words did make the little girl no longer so nervous and afraid, and an innocent smile appeared on her little face, and she ran to the side of the road to pick wild flowers.

In fact, she is very young, and she still can't understand many things, and most of her fears come from the influence of her mother, because her mother shows that she can't enter the fortress and panic, so the child also subconsciously thinks that if she doesn't enter the fortress, something terrible will happen.

The sun was approaching the horizon, and the men were tired from hitting the door, and they all sat on the ground to rest, and the father of the little girl also came over, a dark-skinned, but very stocky man.

"Daddy!" Seeing her father return, the little girl happily ran over with the wildflowers she had picked, and finally rushed into her father's arms.

"Is it good-looking, Dad?"

"Beautiful!" The man kissed his daughter lovingly, as if the whole world was peaceful when he saw his daughter, and then sat down next to his wife, and the little girl handed over the wild flowers to her mother, and said coquettishly: "Mom, I'm hungry!" ”

"Well, you're hungry too, Da Niu, let's eat something first!" The girl's mother took out a candy cake, tore it open and handed it to her husband and daughter.

"Alas, this dog official completely disregarded our life and death!" The man named Da Niu took a bite of the sugar cake and looked at the city wall with some anger.

Seeing the little girl's family eating, the fat man's stomach on the side suddenly screamed, and he couldn't help but look at the cakes in his hands with greed.

As if sensing the fat man's gaze, the little girl's mother immediately took out another sugar cake, handed it to the girl and said, "Send it to the brothers over there!" ”

"Hmm!" The little girl immediately ran to Luo Chen with a sugar cake, "Brother, give ......"

"Thank you!" Luo Chen touched the little girl's head gratefully, then took the cake, and looked at the couple gratefully: "Thank you, uncle and aunt!" ”

"Huh? Son, where are you from? The man asked with a sudden smile.

"We are from Xiliang Town!"

"Xiliang Town? I've heard that your area is the worst place for the beast tide? ”

"Well, it's very serious, a lot of people died, but fortunately, the strong man of the Fenglan Sect came over later......"

"Oh, our town has also been attacked by several demon beasts, but it's much better than you......" The man chatted with Luo Chen, this man is a very real, very willing to talk person, through chatting, Luo Chen also knew that this man's surname is Chen, he lives in Xilin Town, is a blacksmith, this time it was also because of the threat of demon beasts, he had to abandon his family and business, and prepared to escape into the fortress to avoid danger.

As they chatted, the man angrily scolded the keeper of the fortress, and then the men who had rested before began to pound the gates again.

"I also have to go over to help, even if I can't open the door, it will annoy the people inside, maybe they can't stand it anymore, so they will open the door for us!" As he spoke, the man surnamed Chen stood up and rushed over again to continue to bang on the door with everyone.

And inside the castle, listening to the incessant banging of the door and the noisy shouts outside, the bloated, triangular-eyed general slammed his wine glass on the ground, and scolded angrily: "Damn, these damned Diao people, noisy, so noisy that the general's ears are not clear—come on, call me the archers to gather on the city wall at once!" ”

The guards who ran in hesitated, but then they bowed their hands and said, "Yes, yes, General!" ”

"Damn, this group of Diao people, you have to force Lao Tzu to be rude!" The general cursed and walked out of the room, and then came to the top of the wall, where the archers were already waiting in line.

"The archers give me orders, aim at the mob below, and fire arrows at me!" The general shouted angrily.

"This ......" The archers collectively hesitated, they couldn't bear it, but the general glared angrily, and the true qi of his whole body suddenly surged out, and shouted angrily: "Damn, are you all deaf?" Give me arrows! If you can't shoot anyone, I'll throw you below as a target! ”

"Yes, yes...... the archers did not dare to disobey the order, and immediately rushed to the city wall, drew their bows and arrows, and aimed them at the crowd below.

Luo Chen's eyes inadvertently saw the movement on the city wall, and when he looked closely, his complexion suddenly changed greatly.

"It's not good, get out of the way!" Almost at the moment when Luo Chen's words sounded, only to hear the sound of "Xiu Xiu Xiu" breaking through the air, one arrow after another shot through the air at an extremely fast speed towards the crowd below.

In the blink of an eye, there was a scream and wailing under the city wall, and the others were so frightened that they immediately fled and scattered.

"This bastard!" Seeing that tragic scene, Luo Chen's eyes suddenly swelled with anger, he didn't expect that these people would be waiting for this result, and he had never seen such a careless and ruthless wicked person, not only did he not save him when he saw death, but he even used such a cruel method to drive away the people, he was simply a well-dressed beast and lost his conscience, how could such a person become the general of this fortress.

"!" Luo Chen had never been so indignant, and his anger was monstrous, although he also hated the black wolf before, but he didn't have the feeling of being so angry and angry at this time.

If he could fly, if he was a martial arts master, I am afraid that he would have already rushed to the wall at this time and removed the person's dog head as a toilet.
