Chapter 11: The Siege of the Demon Beast
Li Canghai temporarily settled the village chief and several people in Sanqingguan first. The demon beasts under the mountain are rampant, and it is inevitable that he will be negligent and unable to take care of the safety of a few people.
The village chief also knew that it was just a burden for him to go, so he endured his worries and stayed in Sanqingguan.
Li Canghai sat on Xiaoqing, and Xiaoying led in front, and went down the mountain like this.
He Ruoying was a little anxious, but Xiaoqing was slow, even if He Ruoying had reached the foundation building realm, she still couldn't pull it a little.
"Xiaoqing, human life is at stake, hurry up."
Li Canghai had no choice but to speak.
"Mou-"
Xiao Qingmu screamed, and then his speed increased, although it was a green cow, it was also a second-grade demon beast, and the speed was very fast.
〈New Missions Announced!!) 〉
〈Saving the world: Solve this beast tide and save Dingyuan County and the surrounding five counties. 〉
〈Quest rewards: Subject to completion. 〉
Sure enough, the system once again issued a new mission, but this time the mission reward was actually based on completion.
There was some surprise.
After a while, Li Canghai and the others arrived at the gate of Niutou Village.
I saw that the village chief was in a mess, with blood stains everywhere, and the corpses of the villagers lying scattered on the ground.
"Aunt Sun!"
"Uncle Wang!"
……
He Ruoying looked at the familiar people one by one, crying bitterly and grief-stricken.
Li Canghai walked over and comforted, "People can't be resurrected after death, Xiaoying, our top priority now is to drive away the demon beasts, otherwise more and more innocent villagers will die." ”
"Yes, Master!"
He Ruoying wiped away her tears and nodded firmly. She secretly made up her mind that she must avenge her fellow villagers.
"Let's see if there are any survivors."
Li Canghai opened the eye of heaven and glanced around, but found no living people.
"Well, maybe they've fled somewhere else."
Li Canghai sighed helplessly.
"Master, then let's go to the county seat, they must have fled to the county seat."
"Okay."
Li Canghai patted Xiaoqing's buttocks, "Xiaoqing, go." ”
Suddenly, Li Canghai stopped again.
"Xiaoying, do you know how to get around the county seat?"
He Ruoying said, "Master, I've been there a few times before, and I know the way. ”
"Alright, let's go."
……
At this moment, the beast tide army has already rushed to the outside of Dingyuan County.
On the city wall, Wei Qing, the middle-aged county magistrate, was wearing a red and black official uniform, looking at the dense demon beasts under the city wall with a panicked expression.
A soldier hurried over.
"How's it going?"
Wei Qing looked at the soldier expectantly.
"Back to my lord, General Mo has not been able to catch up with the people of the three major sects and Wuji Academy."
Wei Qing waved his hand in disappointment and motioned for him to go down.
"That's it."
The trials of the Three Great Sects and the Wuji Academy ended the day before yesterday, and after a day of rest, they left early yesterday morning.
After receiving the news of the attack of the beast tide, Wei Qing immediately sent people to catch up with the teams of the three major sects and Wuji Academy, hoping that they could come back to support.
As the county magistrate, he knew that the soldiers stationed at this point alone would not be able to resist this menacing beast tide.
And according to the news, several surrounding counties have also been hit by the beast tide.
So far, the beast tide has not seen the breath of a third-grade demon beast, and only a second-grade demon beast has been found.
But even with Wei Qing himself and the other two generals in the army, these three second-grade cultivators, could only be torn to pieces of flesh and blood under the demon beasts that came out of the fish.
Demon beasts are already strong, not to mention that there are so many of them.
Beast tides have always been one of the most feared natural disasters for human beings.
"What about the Holy See?"
Wei Qing asked, a soldier stood out behind him, and said tremblingly, "Hui, Lord Hui, then Yin Lingshi immediately ran to the county town after learning the news of the beast tide......
Spiritual Master is an honorific title for spiritual practitioners.
"Sure enough......"
Although he had expected it for a long time, but now that it had really happened, Wei Qing was still a little disappointed.
"Say one thing and do another, the current spiritual religion is really rotten!"
"After eating so much money from the empire, you can run faster than anyone else in danger!"
Wei Qing was furious and slammed into the stone wall. Wei Qing tried to calm his mood and withdrew his hand.
A trail of blood was left on the stone wall.
"Let's hope the county town will send someone......"
Wei Qing knew very well that the water in the county town was also very deep......
And even if there are reinforcements in the county town, even if it is a cultivator of the third grade, it will take half a day to rush from the county town with all his might.
Wei Qing looked at the demons staring at him below.
But can Dingyuan County last a day?
"Whew-"
"Roar—"
Several of the leading demon beasts roared and let out a horn to charge.
Suddenly, the group of demon beasts that had originally stopped
The charge was launched again, like a plague of locusts sweeping through the rice fields.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Wei Qing hurriedly gave an order. A row of soldiers immediately stood behind him, and they all fired arrows. Then this row of soldiers retreated, and another row of soldiers stepped forward to release arrows, and so on, without interruption.
Nowadays, the Wuji Empire attaches more importance to the border, and the weapons of the troops stationed on the border are relatively sophisticated, and the tips of the arrows are much sharper than usual. With ease, it pierced the body of an ordinary beast.
However, most of the demon beasts that have some spiritual intelligence have spiritual power, and the arrow rain only leaves scars, and it can't even affect the normal behavior of the demon beasts.
"Damn!"
Although he didn't expect to be able to resist with these bows and arrows, seeing that there was no threat to the demon beasts at all, Wei Qing was still extremely ashamed.
"Lord Wei!"
At this moment, a general in gray-yellow armor ran over.
"General Han! How are the people settled? ”
General Han shook his head and replied a little helplessly, "We have notified the whole city, but most of the people are reluctant to leave, and many of them have prepared farm tools as weapons, but those squires have packed up their belongings one by one and fled to the county town with their families. ”
"Hey—"
Wei Qing let out a long sigh.
At this time, the group of demon beasts had already rushed to the city gate, and the huge wooden city gate creaked under the impact of the demon beasts. Inside the city gate, the soldiers used boulders and their bodies to stubbornly resist the impact of the demon beasts coming from the city gate.
"Roar—"
Suddenly, a monkey jumped up from the group of demon beasts and landed in front of Wei Qing.
This is the second-grade wild monkey.
"Second-grade demon beast!"
Wei Qing felt the aura it emanated, pushed back, and the guards around him pulled out their sabers at their waists and surrounded Wei Qing.
General Han pulled out his accessories and stabbed them without saying a word.
The wild monkey was very agile and easily dodged his attacks.
"Damn, this place is too cramped to be used."
General Han was a little annoyed.
However, before he could make his next move, several black shadows suddenly jumped up from under the city wall.
A wolf demon, a deer demon, a tiger demon......
There are twelve in total, all of them are first-class demon beasts.
Suddenly, there was silence. The demon beast confronted Wei Qing and the others, and the two parties fell into silence.
Wei Qing swallowed his saliva.
Although they had two second-grade cultivators, most of the soldiers around them were in the Forging Body Realm. The enemy is outnumbered, and the demon beasts are already stronger than humans, and they are stronger than humans in the same realm.
"Evil animals are hurting!"
