Chapter 37: Beast Tide
At midnight, the originally quiet town of Snake Mountain suddenly sounded the alarm!
The deafening bell rang, hurried and loud, and it was clear that something big had happened.
Countless townspeople were awakened from their slumber, walked out of their houses, and inquired about others in the streets.
"Beast tide! Beast tide is coming!"
Someone was shouting out, perhaps due to panic, perhaps to remind relatives and friends.
Hearing the word "beast tide", many townspeople who had just woken up turned their blank faces into fear.
Everyone knows that every time there is a beast tide, it will cause extremely serious consequences, such as the separation of wives and the destruction of families......
"What to do?
"Run!"
"We can't escape, we can't run away from those fierce beasts and demon beasts!"
"In the face of the beast tide, we can only work together to hold on, waiting for the strong men of our human race to come and suppress it!"
Experienced townspeople began to stabilize their minds and maintain order.
This job was supposed to be done by their lord or guard.
Previously, Snake Mountain had a team of guards, but they have since been disbanded.
Many strong or well-cultivated townspeople put on armor, took up their swords, and climbed the walls of the town at a critical moment.
The beast tide hasn't really swept Snake Mountain yet, but it's said to be not far away.
The news of the outbreak of the beast tide came from a village in the south, and the news was absolutely reliable, because no one dared to lie about such a thing.
The so-called beast tide is actually the invasion of various beasts in the edge area of the Yunyin Mountain Range to the territory of the northern human race.
This kind of invasion comes and goes quickly, and generally does not lead to a large-scale race war.
And the scale of each outbreak of the beast tide is also different, some of the beast tide is very large, and all kinds of beast groups stretch for hundreds of miles, which is very spectacular.
Some beast tides have only a few herds, and they usually do not approach Terran cities, but only sweep remote villages and towns.
What is the scale of this beast tide, there is no accurate information yet.
When he heard the bell ringing, Lin Chen walked out of the wing room and told Tu Meng to go to the town to inquire.
Knowing that it was the beast tide coming, he couldn't help frowning, but then his eyebrows stretched out again, and his eyes were filled with a bit of eagerness.
"Lord Lord, this beast tide doesn't come early, it doesn't come late, but it came during this time, and it doesn't go to other places, but it comes to Snake Mountain Town, I'm afraid it's wrong. ”
Tu Qing cautiously reminded.
"I guess we killed the leader of the white-lobred crow and the red-haired rat group before, which attracted revenge. ”
Tu Meng guessed.
"How do those demon beasts know that we are in Snake Mountain Town?"
Tu Qing asked suspiciously.
"Maybe they don't even know where we are, and this time they started a beast tide, just to slaughter some people to vent their anger. ”
Tu Meng also replied in a speculative tone.
"Don't think about it so much, since they are here, let them come and go!"
Lin Chen said confidently, and at the same time walked towards the courtyard gate.
"My lord, we'd better not make a move yet. ”
Tu Qing first suggested, and then explained: "Among the beast tide, there must be many powerful demon beasts, even if there are no strong people above the fourth level, there are not a few of the fourth level. In case we get targeted......"
"I'm afraid of a bird! If you are targeted, you will go straight to it!"
Tu Meng looked fearless.
"There will be no powerhouses above level four, because Zizhu Peak has issued a ban, and the demon beast powerhouses above level four in the Yunyin Mountain Range are not allowed to participate in the beast tide. ”
Lin Chen said firmly.
This ban was originally seen by Lin Chen in a book at home when he was a child.
Whether it was a human race monk or a demon beast, there were very few existences who dared to disobey Zizhu Peak's will.
In the entire Shaking Light Continent, the higher the cultivation level of the lives of all races, the heavier the awe of Zizhu Peak, and the majesty of that queen cannot be violated.
When the Terran monks have reached the transcendent realm, and the demon beasts have reached the fifth level, they all have terrifying strength, and the destructive power is too strong, if such a strong person acts recklessly, it will seriously threaten the living environment of the entire continent.
Queen Bamboo Heart allows there to be fighting in the territory, and even large-scale racial wars, but she must follow the will of Zizhu Peak, and chaos will definitely not work.
War is also one of the means used by Zizhu Peak to restrict the reproduction rate of various races and maintain the ecological balance of the entire continent.
Take the beast tide as an example, the reason why Zizhu Peak allows it to appear is to avoid the excessive expansion of the human race and the ordinary demon beast race.
Of course, whether it is a war or a tide of beasts, it can make all ethnic groups be prepared for danger in times of peace, keep forging ahead, and grow in battle, so as not to be willing to slack off and lose their blood.
"There are no powerhouses above level four, and too many level four demon beasts are also a great threat!"
Tu Qing couldn't help but persuade again, he always felt that this beast tide was extraordinary.
Although his true cultivation was sealed, as a strong man, his intuition was generally accurate.
"Let's see what happens later. ”
Lin Chen stepped past the courtyard gate, took Tu Qing and Tu Meng onto the street, and climbed to the top of the town's wall.
Evian didn't stay in the mansion, she also followed up the wall and stood silently behind Lin Chen.
"Look, the new lord is here!"
"Really!"
"The beast tide is approaching, and I don't know if the news has reached Wangyun City, the new lord is so young, and there are only two leading guards......"
"Alas, I'm afraid our town is more than lucky!"
Many of the sturdy townspeople on the wall looked at Lin Chen and the four of them from a distance and discussed in a low voice.
They had no faith in the new lord and were pessimistic about the outcome of the defensive battle.
Lin Chen paused for a moment and felt the panic in people's hearts.
He took out the set of array flags, and after thinking about it, he exchanged seven more sets of the same array flags.
Seven sets of array flags, a total of 455,000 experience points were used, which made Lin Chen feel a little painful.
He couldn't just watch these townsfolk be slaughtered in order to save experience.
Even if he doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people, he has to consider his lord level.
Once the number of people in the province is drastically reduced, causing the level of the lord to drop, he will be punished by the system and will be deducted a large amount of experience points.
Calling out the interface of the system, Lin Chen found that the number of people in his territory had been decreasing, and it should be that some villages had been attacked by the beast tide.
Previously, the population in his territory was 35,214, but now it has become 34,125, which is more than a thousand people less.
If this number drops below 32,000, he will no longer be a bronze five-star lord.
A total of eight sets of array flags were arranged on the four sides of the town's walls, and two sets were arranged on each wall, which was completely enough to form an impermeable defensive position.
The power of this kind of array banner has also been shown before, and there is no difficulty in dealing with monks below level five.
Seeing these array flags, Tu Qing understood why his lords were so confident.
In the entire Snake Mountain Town now, there are almost no masters of the Heart Mansion Realm, but there are very few Open Pulse Realm cultivators, and it is more than enough to gather thirty-two people to urge the flags.
After the array flags were distributed, it took less than half an hour for the beast tide to finally come.
