Just as Lin Mo appeared to repel the sandworm beast, several high-ranking monks gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"The situation is out of control, and I think it's time for us to pull out strategically." An old man spoke.

"You mean we should abandon this city and run for our lives," asked another man in brocade.

"This place can't be defended anymore, and staying any longer will only be in vain." The old man shook his head and sighed, "Each of us has more important things to do, and we can't bury our bones here." ”

Everyone was silent for a moment, and they all understood that the old man's words were correct. In this seemingly unwinnable battle, there was no need for them to participate in it anymore.

"Okay, then let's take care of it ourselves. I wish you all the best for the future. After saying goodbye, everyone unfolded their magic weapons and left the doomed city.

With the complete collapse of the city wall, a huge group of demon beasts continued to pour into the city, and Anyuan City finally fell to the brink of destruction.

Everywhere there were people crying and screaming, houses collapsing, and fires raging. The trapped residents scattered in panic, trampling on their own people to survive.

"Help!" A woman cries with a child in her arms and is cornered by three giant pythons.

"Get out of here!" A strong man wielding a wooden stick fights several sandworms on the way home.

The entire city was plunged into unprecedented chaos and collapse, and human blood and life were sacrificed in this catastrophe...... It's not over yet.

Faced with the collapse of the city and the invasion of monsters, the monks made different choices. Some decided to return to the city to try to save their relatives and compatriots. They believe that no matter what, they can't give up on the people of the city, let alone let the monsters run rampant. These monks are determined to defend their homeland, even in the face of great danger, to protect those they love.

On the other hand, there are some monks who choose to leave the city, believing that it is no longer safe and that they will only be killed if they remain behind. These monks want to find a safe place outside or join other monastic organizations in order to continue their cultivation and survive.

Just when the demon beasts had almost destroyed the entire city, they suddenly stopped attacking the city and retreated outside the city in groups.

The reason is unknown, and people are confused. Soon, several high-ranking monks came to the outside of the city.

One of the men in brocade robes was none other than Elder Qin of the Golden Jade Sect. "What's going on, why did the monster beast suddenly retreat," he muttered to himself.

The two young disciples next to him replied, "Master, we guess that the demon beast has been summoned by some higher power. They may have a more important task ahead of them. ”

Elder Qin nodded: "No matter what, this gives the survivors in the city a chance to breathe. We need to take advantage of this rare opportunity to reach out and help all those who still have hope of survival. ”

After saying that, he entered the city, as if looking for something.

As soon as Elder Qin entered the city, he saw an arm sticking out from under a pile of rubble, as if someone was buried underneath.

He waved his hand away from the rubble, and a young man crawled out from underneath with a little girl in his arms.

"Who are you?" asked Elder Qin.

"I'm Lin Mo, I escaped." The man replied.

The little girl hugged Lin Mo tightly and didn't let go, looking at Elder Qin with a wary look in her eyes.

"This little girl seems to have a great relationship with you." Elder Qin was thoughtful.

"I just saved her, and we don't know each other yet." Lin Mo said.

However, the little girl's performance seems to be more than that...... She seemed to be very dependent on the strange man.

At Elder Qin's suggestion, Lin Mo and the little girl were taken out of the city.

The group stepped on the flying sword and flew towards the distant hills. The little girl still hugged Lin Mo tightly.

"She seems to be very dependent on you." A female disciple laughed.

"Maybe." Lin Mo said lightly.

Soon, they came to a hill and landed in front of a wooden house.

At this time, the little girl was seriously injured and had lost consciousness in his arms.

Two people, a man and a woman, stood at the door of the hut, as if anxiously waiting for something.

"Madame, we're back!" Lin Mo shouted, and the two of them were startled when they heard the sound, and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Lin Mo, you're finally back! This is ......" The middle-aged woman named Madam exclaimed when she saw the little girl in Lin Mo's arms.

"The little girl who was saved, she was not lightly injured, and begged her wife to treat her quickly." Lin Mo stepped forward and asked.

Madame nodded, and hurriedly took Lin Mo into the wooden house. Several people had already gathered in the wooden house, and it seemed that they were also survivors who had escaped from Anyuan City. When they saw the little girl in Lin Mo's arms, they all showed surprised expressions.

"This kid is not ......," said an old man in gray.

"It's indeed the granddaughter of City Lord Zhao, that's right, Lin Mo just saved her." Madame explained, "Hurry up, let's talk about the rest." ”

Lin Mo gently placed the little girl on the bed in the room, and the lady began to heal her. With the support of Madame's mana, the little girl's injuries quickly healed and she soon woke up.

"Daile, you're awake!" The old man in gray was overjoyed to see her awake.

Lin Mo looked at the joyful scene of their reunion, smiled slightly, and turned around to leave.

"Thank you to this hero for saving Dale." The old man in gray stepped forward and smiled, "I don't know the hero's name."

"In Xia Linmo, it's pure coincidence." Lin Mo nodded humbly, "Since the little girl is safe and sound, I won't bother." ”

"Brother Lin is so kind, we will definitely repay it." Madame also stepped forward and said, "I don't know if Brother Lin is willing to hear about our encounters, this kind of large-scale beast tide is unusual. ”

Lin Mo thought about it for a while, but decided to stay and listen to their experiences. The people in the wooden house began to tell the story of Anyuan City's attack by the beasts, and how they escaped by luck. Lin Mo also joined their discussion, and this exchange made him even more concerned about the origin of this beast tide.

"Such a large-scale beast tide is unprecedented!" Madame Fang sighed, "Our caravan has almost been wiped out, and we have suffered heavy losses. ”

"Yes, a beast tide of this scale, even our Anyuan City can't resist it, and it will be destroyed directly." Zhang Kui also sighed, "I think I'm afraid that the entire Zhao Kingdom will not be able to escape." ”

"You're right, it's very unusual indeed." Lin Mo frowned and said, "From what I have seen and heard, the beast tide has always been limited to the wilderness, and it rarely hits the human city directly. ”

"That's right, the humans and monks in the city have never interfered with each other." The man surnamed Qin nodded and said, "It seems that it is not by chance that the beast tide can attack Anyuan City this time. ”

The man surnamed Qin, who was dressed in a brocade robe, said in a serious tone: "Beast herd outbreaks usually don't get close to cities. The aura in the city is thin, and immortal cultivators are reluctant to go, and the beasts should also avoid it. ”

Lin Mo nodded in agreement: "Yes, this is indeed strange. Moreover, we also see some spirit animals in the city, and they seem to be guiding the herd. ”

Pan Qing interjected: "This may be that someone deliberately led the beast herd to attack Anyuan City, but what is the purpose?" ”

"Someone is manipulating behind your back," a glint flashed in Lin Mo's eyes.

"I don't rule it out." The man surnamed Qin said in a deep voice, "We will send someone to investigate the source of this beast tide." If someone really makes trouble behind his back, he will never forgive!"

"In any case, we must be vigilant." Mrs. Fang said steadily, "If Brother Lin has nothing important to do, I don't know if you can help me find out the truth about this beast tide."

"That's what I mean." Lin Mo nodded, "I'm also quite interested in the cause of this beast tide, if I can find out the truth, maybe I can avoid a bigger disaster." ”

"That's easy to say." The man surnamed Qin nodded with satisfaction, "We will send someone to investigate first, and Brother Lin can join later." Until we find out the truth, we must be on high alert to avoid the unexpected. ”

Lin Mo and everyone reached a consensus and decided to join forces to investigate this beast tide that shocked Zhao Guo. They left the cabin and began to prepare for the upcoming ordeal.

Lin Mo and the others were gathering in the wooden house to discuss the attack on Anyuan City by the beast tide, when an exclamation suddenly came from outside.

"Madame, we're back with Miss!"

A middle-aged man pushed the door open with a little girl in his arms, followed by several maids. When the little girl saw Mrs. Fang, she was overjoyed and threw herself into her arms and cried.

"Madame, I'm back!"

"Dale, it's fine if you're okay!" Mrs. Fang also hugged her excitedly.

It turned out that this little girl was Dai'er, the granddaughter of City Lord Zhao, and she was also Mrs. Fang's young lady. She was separated from her family in the beast tide and was later rescued by Lin Mo.

Dai'er raised her head, her eyes flashing with gratitude, and her voice trembled and said, "Thanks to Brother Lin Mo, he saved me and brought me back." ”

"Thank you to this hero for saving Dale." The middle-aged man stepped forward to thank Lin Mo.

"It's a pure coincidence, you're too polite." Lin Mo waved his hand.

Lin Mo stood aside, silently watching this scene. He didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Zhao family, but only rescued Dai'er out of kindness. He felt a little relieved to see that the girl was safe, but his heart was still full of questions.

"I admire the hero so noble." The middle-aged man exclaimed, "Heroes are not left, I will definitely come to visit and thank you later!"

Lin Mo saw that they were sincere, so he no longer shirked. He stroked Dale's head and told her to take care of herself, then turned and left the cabin. Dai'er watched Lin Mo go away, and her heart was full of gratitude.

When Lin Mo was about to leave the wooden house, Mrs. Fang stepped forward to stop him: "Brother Lin, can you stay for a while?"

Hearing this, Lin Mo turned his head and looked at Mrs. Fang: "Please tell me, what does Madame command?"

"This time, our caravan encountered a beast tide in the wilderness and suffered heavy losses." Madame Fang sighed, "But there is a blessed land that has survived, and my family has found a strange elixir there. ”

"What kind of elixir" Lin Mo heard this, and a glimmer of brilliance flashed in his eyes.

"It hasn't been determined yet, but according to Jiading's description, this medicine is extremely valuable to monks, and it can enhance cultivation and increase the chance of knotting." Mrs. Fang explained.

"This is indeed not to be taken lightly." Lin Mo muttered, "If it is the best elixir, the effect is not trivial. ”

"Exactly!" Mrs. Fang's eyes were filled with anticipation, "I also hope that Brother Lin can help me and go with Brother Qin to deal with this matter and retrieve this precious elixir." ”

Lin Mo thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go with Brother Qin to find out." But the matter of the elixir must be discussed in detail, and I cannot make a promise lightly. ”

"Brother Lin is serious, we just want to find out the truth of this matter." Mrs. Fang said with a smile.

The two reached a consensus, and Lin Mo also stayed for the time being. After investigating this mysterious elixir, Lin Mo will make a decision on whether to assist or not. Such an important treasure, he had to go and find out.

Lin Mo and the others had just reached an agreement with Madam Fang to investigate the mysterious elixir, when an exclamation suddenly came from the night sky in the distance.

Everyone looked in that direction, and saw a purple light and shadow galloping through the branches and leaves over the trees, followed by two black shadows that looked like birds.

Behind the purple light, two demon birds quickly chased after them, their wings flapping, sending out gusts of wind.

The figure in the purple light seemed to be injured and was not very agile in its movements. The two demon birds in the back took the opportunity to attack! The purple light figure hurriedly resisted, and the purple light flickered, and he actually blocked the blow stubbornly.

"Look at that sword technique, it seems to be someone from the Golden Jade Sect." The man surnamed Qin frowned.

Suddenly, the figure in the purple light jerked to one side, dodging the sharp beak of one demon bird, but the other demon bird launched an attack. Sharp claws pierced the air and struck at the figure in the purple light.

The figure also sensed the existence of others, and turned back to approach Lin Mo and them.

"Help me!" He shouted, but before his voice fell, the person had already fallen into Lin Mo's arms.

Lin Mo caught him, turned around and was about to leave. Not to be outdone, the two demon birds pounced on them and continued to attack.

"You take him away, I'll hold them back." The man surnamed Qin shouted.

Lin Mo nodded, pulled the purple-clothed man's sword and left. The man surnamed Qin and Mrs. Fang went all out to deal with the two demon birds, setting off a fierce battle......

Lin Mo took the injured man in purple to hide in the mountain forest, and finally shook off the tracking of the demon bird. This person seems to be not lightly injured, and he has lost consciousness in Lin Mo's arms. Lin Mo found a cave, settled him down first, and then began to treat his injuries......

In the woods, two eagle-shaped monster birds shuttled through the branches, their red eyes vigilantly scanning every corner of the forest. A young woman dressed in palace dress stood on a treetop, holding a silver whip, looking down indifferently.

"That damn human who dares to touch the people of my clan, he will pay a heavy price!" The young woman hissed, "Did you two find that girl?"

Hearing this, the two demon birds flew up to the young woman and bowed down and replied, "Report to Madame, we have searched the surrounding mountains and forests for ten miles, but we have not found the whereabouts of the girl named Dai'er."

The young woman's beautiful eyes were cold, and she swept towards the two demon birds with a whip in her hand, the demon birds dodged slightly, and the silver whip drew a cold light in the air.

"Rubbish! I can't even find a little girl, it seems that I raised you for nothing!" The young woman said angrily.

"Madame, we'll continue to look for you." The demon bird pleaded.
