Chapter 114

According to everyone's speculation, either there are terrible creatures in front of them to scatter those fierce beasts, or there is something behind them that attracts those fierce beasts, and both situations require information from two locations. Now, with no access to information from the outside world, everyone can only speculate based on two guesses and based on their own experiences.

Although Lin Xuanzhong is inexperienced, after a period of time, he still feels that the more some people talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, it is just nonsense. Among them, Lin Xuanzhong felt that one of the possible speculations was that someone said that the Sleepless City was organizing people to hunt the fierce beasts, but some people retorted that the Sleepless City was at least two hundred miles away from here, how could they drive so many fierce beasts here.

In addition, judging from the movement speed of those fierce beasts, the things that frightened them should be dozens of miles ahead, but everyone didn't think that there would be many martial cultivators dozens of miles away, and there was no need for the city that never sleeps to drive the fierce beasts here, and it was even impossible to drive the fierce beasts at all. One after the other, Lin Xuanzhong felt that what they said made sense.

There are also people who say that in fact, although those fierce beasts run separately, they will eventually get together, and when all the beasts gather, there will naturally be a beast tide, and the area where the beast tide is about to occur should be the city in the north, thinking that everyone's homes are in that place, this speculation makes many people very worried.

Of course, some people say that there may be some powerful monsters or strange beasts ahead, so they will scare those ordinary fierce beasts away, and there are certain possibilities for all three speculations, but no one can be sure what the specific situation is, so the root of the problem quickly shifts to whether the convoy will continue to move tomorrow.

Regarding whether the team will go or stay tomorrow, in fact, the middle-aged team leader is not sure at this moment.

"There are too many things happening today, everyone should rest early, and I will go to the leader of the Fengyun Mercenary Army early tomorrow morning to talk in detail. There was a kind of tired indifference in his tone, as if the encounter of the mercenary team during this time had caused a lot of pressure on the middle-aged team leader.

"Yes," the others saw that the middle-aged leader couldn't confirm whether to set off, so they didn't ask any more questions, and simply answered and dispersed in twos and threes.

After everyone was separated to rest, Lin Xuanzhong found that the mercenary team in front of him seemed to be having the same discussion. It's just too far away to hear what they're saying.

As the night deepened, several mammoths gradually returned to normal under the constant reassurance of some mercenaries, and there were still people in the mercenary team gathered together to discuss in whispers. However, most of them had already rested, and Lin Xuanzhong's thoughts were fluctuating as he sat next to Lao Zhang.

In the past two days, he has experienced a lot of things, although there is no danger, but there is always a bad feeling in his heart, so even if he tries to calm down, Lin Xuanzhong still can't be calm. In that case, it is better to think about something.

I don't know if the convoy can successfully arrive in the city that never sleeps two days later, and Lin Xuanzhong doesn't know how to decide to stay after arriving in the city that never sleeps. There was also the speculation about the beast tide just now, which now made Lin Xuanzhong have a lot of doubts in his heart.

If this were the case, then the cities in the northern part of the country might be destroyed. Even if they can go back now, I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up with the actions of those fierce beasts, so they can only take one step at a time as before, and now they are just worried more about the problem.

After going through so much, what used to be simple is now complicated when you think about it. However, his physical condition has not improved, and Lin Xuanzhong feels that the things he will face in the future are far more difficult than he imagined now. The more I think about it, the more troubled I become, and the more troubled I am, the more I don't want to rest. In the end, I was really helpless, so I could only do what Zhang Qi said.

After looking away from many things, Lin Xuanzhong stopped thinking about those questions and closed his eyes to rest.

Early the next morning, after the middle-aged team leader discussed with the other team leader, the two teams set off again. But it didn't take long for another group of fierce beasts to block the way.

After the spies brought back the news, the middle-aged team leader discussed countermeasures with the other team leader.

There is a river on one side of the valley and a mountain on the other side, and the most you can do to avoid those fierce beasts is to let the vehicle move into the forest, and there is no suitable place to avoid those fierce beasts. In this case, the two parties must first figure out the specific situation about those fierce beasts.

It didn't take long for the spies in front to come back again, naturally bringing back specific information. Sixty-three lion mastiffs, basically each of them is three or four meters long, the huge size and fierce habits make the lion mastiff has always been one of the feared beasts, as long as the lion mastiff bites to death or injury, few people can survive under the huge mouth of the lion mastiff.

Now judging from the size of the lion mastiff, each lion mastiff has the strength to defeat an ordinary fifth-order martial cultivator, even if the total number is less than half of the two mercenary teams combined, but against the lion mastiff, the mercenary team has no chance of winning.

When the lion mastiff was less than a mile away from the convoy, all those who could participate in the battle under the leadership of the two team leaders were ready to meet the battle with weapons.

I saw Qing Yi with several archers in the team and the archers of the opposing party lined up neatly, standing at the front, guarding the convoy, and waiting for the lion mastiff to come over with curved bows one by one.

To Lin Xuanzhong's surprise, Wu Yu was in it, but he didn't expect the other party to use arrows, Lin Xuanzhong was a little envious. I talked to Qingyi about archery before, but unfortunately archery is not something that can be learned in a short time, and there is no time to learn it, so Lin Xuanzhong did not learn archery from Qingyi.

Now seeing that more than a dozen people in front of him are mighty, but he can only hide in the forest with others, Lin Xuanzhong has a strange feeling in his heart, and he hopes that he is also in that queue, but unfortunately he does not know archery.

Not long after, a group of fierce beasts with golden hair strode and carried their huge heads, and swayed towards the convoy.

Unlike those fierce beasts passing by yesterday, when the lion mastiff noticed the mercenary team, they raised their huge heads one after another and let out a roaring roar, and then the first few lion mastiffs took the lead, and a group of fierce beasts that were originally going straight quickly rushed towards the convoy.

The people who originally hoped that the lion mastiff would go directly with a fluke mentality, saw the lion mastiff change direction, and their hearts couldn't help but sink, and they all clenched their weapons nervously.

After making sure that the lion mastiff was rushing towards Qing Yi who was blocking outside the convoy, Qing Yi and the others had already drawn their bows and arrows. As long as the two leaders give the order, they will not hesitate to release the arrows.

In the forest, because Lin Xuanzhong was standing at the back of the team, he was very close to Red Tears.

"Big brother, are you afraid?" asked in a whisper as Red Tears approached at some point.

"I'm afraid," Lin Xuanzhong's answer was very direct, no one was afraid of such a thing, but Lin Xuanzhong understood that there was no other choice. Once a war with a fierce beast starts, it is bound to be endless, so when answering the question of red tears, although Lin Xuanzhong frowned, there was no panic on his face.

"Dad said that the youngest of those lion mastiffs have the strength of fifth-order martial arts, and if a lion mastiff rushes over, the big brother must protect me. In fact, the tall man naturally would not let go of the safety of Red Tears and Red Medicine, and had already sent someone to protect the two, and there were two strange men standing next to Red Tears and Red Medicine, each of whom was over forty years old. The aura on his body was restrained, and Lin Xuanzhong could feel their strength but couldn't feel their specific strength.

Now that Red Tears said this, Lin Xuanzhong was a little embarrassed, because his own realm was not much different from Red Tears, but the lion mastiff was so powerful. In front of absolute strength, Lin Xuanzhong didn't dare to guarantee whether his Eight Desolation Steps would be useful against the huge beasts.

At the same time, the lion mastiff was only a few tens of meters away from the convoy and was completely out of range.

"Put!" the tall man finally spoke

The dozen or so archers in front of them had to be ordered to release their arrows in unison.

"Huh, hey," the sound continued, and for a while, dozens of arrow feathers headed straight towards those fierce beasts.

Immediately after, everyone's attention stopped on those bows and arrows, and the arrows all fell on those lion mastiffs at great speed, and some lion mastiffs whimpered in pain in the distance, but to everyone's disappointment, no lion mastiffs stopped.

In the lion mastiff running lions, some of the arrow feathers on their bodies fell off because they were not inserted deeply, and it was obvious that the thick and hard hair of the lion mastiff offset the impact of many of the arrow feathers. During the observation of the lion mastiff, more than a dozen people released their arrows again, and they kept pulling the string to shoot the arrows several times in a row, and the closer they got to the lion mastiff, the stronger the power of the arrow feathers.

Under everyone's attention, another series of arrows were shot at those lion mastiffs. Many of them shot their arrows at some weak spots on the heads of some lion mastiffs, and I saw that several lion mastiffs with arrows in the head let out a low roar in pain, and then some rolled to the ground, blocking the way of other lion mastiffs, and at the same time preventing more than a dozen archers from shooting at the lion mastiffs behind them.

At the same time, the mastiff was only thirty meters away from the convoy, and some of the archers in front of him were still firing arrows. I don't know what's going on, the man in Tsing Yi and Wu Yu tried to compare, the two of them went one after the other, took out the arrow, pulled the bow and wound the whole action in one go, without dragging the mud and water. And unlike the others, even if the two of them didn't aim carefully, the arrows they shot were more accurate than the others.

When the group of lion mastiffs was only twenty meters away from the crowd, it was their last chance to shoot.

With a "bang", I saw Qing Yi shoot an arrow, and then pulled the bowstring again at a very fast speed, shooting three arrows in a row, and the sharp arrow spear pierced the air, tightly connected, and attacked the three lion mastiffs in three directions.

Three screams rang out in succession, and all three running mastiffs were shot at one of them. At such a close distance, the power of three arrow feathers was enough to kill. Three mastiffs fell at once, hindering the movement of the mastiffs behind.
