Chapter 16: Weird
Yes, the beast tide is far from over. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Far from it.
During the two days of fighting, people had already discovered that the level of the attacking demonic beasts did not exceed level five.
Level 5!
Not even a sixth-level demonic beast has ever appeared.
Many people who experienced the beast tide for the first time actually had such a conjecture in their hearts for a long time, but when they heard it at the moment, they still couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment.
Beast tide, once every decade.
I had never heard that a high-level demonic beast would not appear that time.
Next, the sixth, seventh, eighth, and even ninth level of demonic beasts will also appear in front of people one by one.
No exception!
The people on the two walls were at a loss from afar, and their hearts were heavy, and the joy of victory disappeared a lot.
Darnell frowned and looked far away in the direction of the Warcraft Forest, from there, to his feet, the corpses of the Warcraft were piled up in a mountain.
It's been almost three hours, and it's been so long since the battle ended, why haven't they shown up yet?
Coupled with the advance of the outbreak of the beast tide this time, Darnell's heart could no longer calm down as before.
Why, exactly?
Also, Chris and Irene, what's going on now?
All those who were still outside the city returned to the city, the gates were sealed and blocked with a large number of stones, and Darnell did not want several gates to become a breakthrough for the monsters.
"Take turns resting!"
Everyone seized the time to eat and rest, replenish their stamina, magic, and fighting energy.
The sky was getting darker, and night was falling.
The night wind blew the unique fishy smell of the demonic beast, as well as the strong smell of blood and burning. The moonlight was obscured by the clouds, and the few starlights flickered incessantly.
A faint cry came.
Pandice looked down at the city.
Although the eyes of the elves were not as good as those of the dark elves, they were far more than ordinary humans, and although they were far away, Pandis still saw the group of people under the city walls.
There, a mourning ceremony is taking place.
The weather was still hot, and the corpses could not be preserved, so in order to prevent the plague, the corpses had to be buried earlier, and in the current situation, they had to be simply cremated.
People gathered around the bodies of the warriors, prayed silently, and then, lighting the firewood under the bodies, the flames rose silently, higher and higher. People sing requiems and look up at the heavens, as if they can see the souls of warriors entering heaven and resting in peace.
"Styanna!" Pandis said softly.
Stiena whispered and walked over to Pandis's side.
"You say," Pandis looked at the sky-high flames, and then at the corpses of the demonic beasts under the city walls, "what is the difference between us and the demonic beasts?"
Without waiting for Stiena to reply, she added, "They are also living beings, but why can people dictate their lives at will?"
The elves are lovers of peace, they don't like to see death, and in their opinion, all life is a gift from God and should be respected, so they are also afraid to face death.
In the long years, even in the period of friendship with humans, they were rarely able to make real friends with humans, in addition to facing the difference in attitudes towards life and different values, perhaps, there were also reasons why they did not want to face the death of their friends.
However, in the past two days, he has lost many lives with his own hands.
Stiena fell silent.
She couldn't answer that question.
The night passed in mourning and waiting.
Warcraft still hasn't appeared.
Uneasiness breeds in the bottom of everyone's heart.
It was overcast, the first time in months that the weather had been dry, scorching, and the occasional wind had brought a hint of the stench - the corpses of the monsters had begun to rot.
In addition to the army, the people are even more restless, and several mercenaries have already clashed over trivial matters.
Civilians were unable to get up as usual, and even if they lay down, they could not fall asleep.
There is a sentence in everyone's hearts that they want to ask:
What's going on?
The Rantis magic students were all standing together, in good spirits, but inevitably with a hint of irritability.
"It's weird!" said Acton, "it's the first time I've seen such a strange beast tide. ”
Maya soothed, "Be patient! I think the monsters will always show up today!"
Although her tone was calm, her eyes kept looking in the direction of the forest.
"Is there something going on in the Warcraft Forest? Lawrence groaned.
Of course, no one can answer this question, and it is said that hundreds of years ago to today, no one has ever entered the deepest part of the Warcraft Forest, and the cause of the beast tide is completely unpredictable.
Low-level demonic beasts have almost no intelligence, they only have the instinct to survive, maybe some demonic beasts know how to use some tools to obtain food, and they can also vaguely have a little spirituality, but after all, they are still beasts, at best, beasts with magical abilities.
It is said that the seventh-level and above demonic beasts already have human-like minds, know how to think, and also have the ability to imitate, and someone once saw a seventh-level stork sprinkled with all kinds of flowers in his nest - even when courting has never seen such a situation.
So, if they think, why do they try to break out of the Warcraft Forest once every decade?
Not once in the past few hundred years have they managed to occupy a larger habitat after breaking out of the forest.
It doesn't seem to be their purpose to storm cities, but the real reason is that they can't get around them.
And with their wisdom, would they rather watch their companions die under the walls of humanity once every ten years in vain?
Many animals or birds have the habit of migrating, aside from some special ones, most of the monsters migrate only because of the climate and temperature adaptation, but this does not seem to be a strong reason in the Warcraft Forest, because the Warcraft Forest has warm areas and cold areas, high mountains, cliffs, swamps, and deep valleys, abundant plants, and abundant water sources. Maybe the living conditions are not so good, but even if they are unbearable, they should not explode after ten years.
So, the reason may lie in the depths of the forest that no one has entered.
If there is a strong man above the ninth level who dares to fly into the central depths of the Warcraft Forest from the sky, he will definitely see a conspicuous high mountain, the height of this mountain peak far exceeds the Bright Holy Mountain, the altitude here is very high, the temperature is very low, the mountain peak stands in the middle of a deep pool, like a lonely stone pillar, even the sun in the sky, it can't shine here, the water vapor in the water is constantly steaming upward, attached to the wall of the peak, making the mountain look crystal clear.
