Chapter 385: The Attack of the Mother Worm
After Le Yan became arrogant and became a strong man in the glass body, he never thought that he would be afraid of fierce beasts one day, but when he saw the dense fierce beasts outside the city that could not see the edge, he was afraid. His voice was a little unsteady and said, "What's going on, where did so many fierce beasts come from!"
"I don't know. Le Yao cried and mourned.
After it was revealed that he cooperated with Jin Hao, who was controlled by the mother worm, to frame Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan, Le Yao reacted quickly and left Lingcheng with a few male pets and returned to Burning City as quickly as possible.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for it to spread that Gu Lingzhi was recognized by Lin Zhongyuan as his granddaughter. Then the envoy group of Lingcheng also arrived, asking the burning city to hand over Le Yao and a few male pets. Fortunately, the city lord of the Burning City was Le Yao's own brother, and he did not hand over a few people, but compensated a lot of resources, which made the Burning City decay for a while. has just improved, but it has ushered in such a scene. Le Yao was also scared silly, okay?
"The whole city is on alert, inform all the expedition teams in the city to be ready to fight the beasts with the soldiers defending the city!" Le Yan quickly issued a series of orders. Then he looked at the city below.
Because of the approach of the beast, the people who had been living in the villages outside the city crowded under the city gates, trying to ask for the protection of the burning city. But the soldiers defending the city had already been frightened by the battle of the fierce beasts and closed the city gates, and the people who had not had time to hide in the city cried and slapped the city gates, and some of the good ones climbed along the city walls with difficulty on their backs. Inside the city was a panicked crowd, outside the city was an earth-shattering cry, and the whole scene was chaotic.
Le Yan gritted his teeth and looked at this scene, and shouted angrily: "Who closed the city gate?"
The tide of fierce beasts was still some distance away from the burning city, and it would take at least a quarter of an hour to arrive, so why did they close the city gates?
It's not that he is willing to show compassion for the people who are locked up outside the city, but that all the people in the lost land are martial. With so many people out there, it's a lot of force. If you use it, you can destroy a lot of fierce beasts. At such a juncture, how could he waste a little cannon fodder?
"Open the gates and let them in!"
"But ......," Niu Ran, who was in charge of the security of the city gate, hesitated, "the beast is coming soon." ”
Once the gates are opened, it is not so easy to close them again. There are so many people, and it will definitely not be possible for them all to come in a quarter of an hour.
"What do you mean...... Did you give up on them?" Le Yan pointed to the desperate crying crowd under the city gate, and said in a righteous manner: "They are also the people of my burning city, as the lord of a city, how can I abandon them at such a time?"
Le Yan's voice did not control the volume, so that this impassioned sentence could easily be heard by people close to the city gate, and suddenly the crowd resounded with a lot of echoes: "The city lord is wise! We are also the people of the burning city, why don't you let us in?"
"Yes, let us in, the city lord said he wouldn't give up on us!"
Under the excited words and stern eyes of the people, Niu Ran trembled and ordered the soldiers standing on both sides of the city gate to open the city gate.
The moment the door was opened, countless people poured in. Running too eagerly, many people accidentally fell, and before they could get up, they were trampled by the crowd behind. It didn't take long for it to be silent. Become the first people to die in the attack of the beast tide.
Some of the soldiers were still urging, "Hurry, hurry! Do you want to kill a city of people?"
When the crowd heard this, the speed of entering the city increased a lot, causing some people in front of them who did not react to add many dead souls. Even so, when the beasts approached the city gates, there were still many people outside who could not enter. The outermost crowd was surrounded by fierce beasts, and one after another screams rang out.
I know that if I don't close the gates, I probably won't be able to close them again. Le Yan's eyes darkened, and he simply gave the order to close the city gate. That cold appearance, how can there be the righteousness of the previous shouting?
Niu Ran wiped the cold sweat on his head, glad that the city lord was finally not reckless. Quickly ordered the soldiers to close the gates of the city.
When the frightened soldiers, who were about to cry, heard this, they were pardoned, and they pushed the gates with all their strength. But where were the people outside the city willing to be locked outside and become the rations of the fierce beasts? They also drilled into it with great vigor, and for a while, the gate did not move at all.
Fortunately, Le Yan thought of this when he ordered the city gate to be opened, and said with a sad expression on his face: "Stop blocking the city gate, my people. Will you let all the people of the city bury you?"
The crowd that was still desperately squeezing in broke out a terrible roar when they heard this, "City Lord, are you going to give up on us?"
"It's not that I want to give up on you, but I can't care about the lives of other people!" Le Yan said sadly, waving his hand behind him, "Everyone has it, close the city gate with all your might, and never let the fierce beasts enter the city and cause more casualties!"
After saying that, he closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to look at the outside scene anymore.
The city lord ordered, don't dare to disobey. Not to mention this kind of life-threatening event. Immediately, the crowd that had entered the city gate moved.
As early as when Le Yan first ordered the city gate to be closed, they wanted to help, but thinking that they were also part of the group of people facing death outside a quarter of an hour ago, they were a little unable to do it. But under Le Yan's seemingly helpless, but in fact, cold words, he couldn't help anymore.
Le Yan is right: If they don't close the city gates, they will all die.
No one knows how many fierce beasts there are, only the kindness of the woman, and it will be herself who will die.
"Don't close! My wife hasn't come in yet, let my wife in!" yelled one of the men inside the gate.
With this loud roar, several more people tried to block the crowd that was closing the door, but there were still relatives outside who did not enter. But who will listen to them at this time, of course, it is more important to save their own lives.
"I told you to stop, do you hear me?" yelled at the beginning of the man who was still outside his wife. Seeing that the city gate was about to close, he frantically showed his weapon and threatened others, "Stop! If you don't stop, I'll kill you!"
Because of this delay, the force to close the city gate was weakened, and the people who wanted to push the gate open took the opportunity to open the gate a little more, and a part of the crowd was squeezed in. But there is still no man's wife in this group. Just as he was frantically trying to threaten again, a silver light so small that it was almost invisible flashed and disappeared into the man's eyebrows, and the man opened his mouth, unable to say anything more, and fell to the ground with a thud in the crowd, trampled under the feet of the crazy crowd.
As for who did it?
The gates of the Burning City finally closed when some of the beasts squeezed in, and the beasts were all killed by the combined efforts of the crowd. Several people leaned against the city gate and cried out in mourning, calling for their relatives who were still outside the city, and they were soon separated by the crowd.
Just kidding, if there is another man in this group who wants to open the city gate and let his relatives in, regardless of the lives of others, will they still live?
Le Yan looked at all this sadly, but his eyes were indifferent. The fingers tucked into the sleeves collected the remaining silver needles.
This is a treasure he bought from the Spirit City, and there is one less with one. If he wasn't afraid of bad things for men, he wouldn't have wasted one.
Looking at the scene outside the city, the beasts had reached the base of the city wall, and the people who had not yet entered the city were struggling to become the rations of the beasts. The place near the city walls was already mush. The corpses of ferocious beasts and humans were mixed together, and they all became the dishes of the ferocious beasts later.
"Gather the crowd, prepare to fight the beasts, and don't let those people outside die in vain!"
After saying this, Le Yan took out his weapon first, a five-foot longbow. Skillfully bending the bow and stringing, only to hear the sound of "whoosh", the arrow accurately pierced into a fierce beast with the strength of a golden warrior, and the murderer fell to the ground with a scream, and the corpse was quickly eaten by his companions.
Those who saw this scene were encouraged, and one by one they pulled out their weapons and began to fight back. Even if you are not a long-range weapon, you can barely attack by borrowing stones and wooden branches, etc., and you can reduce the number of fierce beasts a little.
The fierce beasts surrounded the burning city for two days and two nights, and in the early morning of the third day, they left the corpses all over the ground and reluctantly retreated, and the news soon spread to the rest of the city.
In the Lingcheng City Lord's Mansion, Lin Zhongyuan looked at the letter sent by Le Yan with a solemn expression. The letter earnestly hoped that Lingcheng would lend a helping hand and help the Burning City survive this crisis. Afraid that he would not agree, he also vaguely proposed that the fierce beast attack the human city, definitely not just this time, when they burned the city and broke it, the fierce beast would transfer the target to attack the next city. They must be eliminated before they have done much damage, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
"This is really interesting, do you think that everyone is as hypocritical as him and can't tell the difference?" Chu Jiang sneered. Extremely disdainful of Le Yan.
At the beginning, Le Yan shielded Le Yao, so that he couldn't be angry for the little master of the City Lord's Mansion, but he still remembered it.
"I didn't expect Yuan'er's original conjecture to come true, the mother worm really had a plan, this is to annex the entire lost land. Lin Zhongyuan sighed.
According to Rong Yuan's speculation, the ontological strength of the mother worm that had infiltrated the Spirit City at the beginning was likely to have reached the peak of the demigods. Therefore, some of the descendants that are differentiated can have the strength of demigods.
Later, Rong Yuan also led some people to go deep into the land of the heavenly moat to search, but he never found the body of the mother worm, so he gave up and concentrated on improving his strength. Unexpectedly, after two years, the female worm finally couldn't help but make the first move. As soon as he started, he chose one that was estranged from Lingcheng. This kind of wisdom is really terrifying.
"Beasts are beasts in the end, even if they have opened their minds, they don't understand what the overall situation is, do you think that in this way, we will stand by and watch them wreak havoc?" Chu Jiang sneered, "This time, let's call it a coming-and-going!"
