The teleportation array is connected to a large city-state called the Sword Pavilion.

According to the city-state's land area, it is equivalent to twenty or thirty Blackstone cities.

Seeing my map, Lu Zijun was surprised.

"Oh my God, this is the biggest map I've ever seen in my life!"

"Mr. Zhuge , where are you going?"

I said perfunctorily, "Go buy a far place."

After seeing my rejection, Lu Zijun was very smart and didn't ask again.

I put away the things that Lu Zijun gave me and said with a little appreciation, "You did a very good job. Say, what kind of reward do you want?"

"I know how to make alchemy and talismans, so I might be able to help you a little."

These two things, pills and talismans, are indispensable treasures for cultivators.

Especially in a small place like Blackstone City, where materials are scarce, these two things are needed for support.

What I didn't expect was that Lu Zijun didn't know whether he was humble or timid, so he waved his hand again and again.

"Thank you Mr. Zhuge for your generosity, don't do anything below." Look at the book

I was a little surprised, "Are you sure?"

Lu Zijun's eyebrows were full of worry, and he said with some apprehension: "I don't want things, but I am bold, please help defend Black Rock City."

"A few days ago, the beast tide invaded the walled city, and we relied on the sulfur cannon to barely block the first wave of attacks."

"According to our predictions, there will be a second wave of the beast tide tomorrow night.

"It is not enough for our own monks and ordinary people."

"If you can help, I'll give you ten of the finest wasteland crystals."

Lu Zijun handed over a wooden box.

I opened the box, and there were ten round beads lying quietly inside, about the size of a dragon's eye, foggy and transparent.

I held the bead in the palm of my hand, and I was shocked to find that inside this thing, there was a pure and rich spiritual power of heaven and earth.

The spiritual power reserve of one wasteland crystal is roughly equivalent to three high-grade spirit stones.

I asked curiously, "Where did all these wasteland crystals come from?"

Lu Zijun was stunned: "You don't even know this!?"

I said, "We are from the human realm, and we don't know much about the rules of your wasteland, and the things."

Hearing the title of 'human world', Lu Zijun was a little confused, he obviously had never seen or heard of visitors from the human world.

However, he was also very clever not to ask further.

Lu Zijun explained, "The so-called wasteland crystallization is the crystallization of spiritual power between heaven and earth, which is divided into five levels: upper, middle, lower, top, and superb."

"In our wasteland, the power is mottled and mixed, and if you absorb too much, people will go crazy."

"Therefore, if you want to quickly advance in strength and transcend life and death as soon as possible, you need a large number of wasteland crystals."

"If you want to open the teleportation array, you also need wasteland crystals as energy."

"If you want to buy something in any large city-state, you need wasteland crystals as currency."

"Mr. Zhuge , if you want to travel a long distance, you can't do without the crystallization of the wasteland."

Lu Zijun's painstaking persuasion was just to let me help.

It seems that this so-called 'beast tide' is really imminent.

I asked, "What is the beast tide in your mouth?"

Speaking of the beast tide, Lu Zijun's eyes were filled with fear, "Beast tide, that's something that has destroyed countless large and small city-states and made us people fearful."

"In the wasteland, man is only an extremely small species."

"There are many wild beasts that will gather together for unknown reasons and attack the city-state at a fixed point in time."

"They destroy the walls of the city, devour all living things indiscriminately, and the ferocious aura they produce together makes all flying spells disappear."

"Whether it's ordinary people

, or a monk, they can't resist such an attack."

"Before the beast tide comes, either run away as a refugee, or fight the beast together!"

Murphy vaguely understood what was going on, "Hidden Dragon, is it like the feeling of a zombie siege?"

"Probably...... Right?"

Whether it's or not, I'm going to stay and help.

Before I could speak, Lu Zijun said impatiently, "Mr. Zhuge , if you think the price is not enough, we can talk about it again."

I said, "No."

"Ten wasteland crystals, I can do my best to help you resist the beast tide."

Lu Zijun was overjoyed, "Great! I will ...... for all the people of the city."

I stopped and said, "Don't rush to thank you yet, I have a bad thing to say ahead."

"I will do my best, but I will not live and die with you."

"As soon as I find out that something is wrong, I will run immediately."

"If you can accept it, we'll make a deal."

Lu Zijun smiled, "I can trust Mr. Zhuge , of course the deal."

"Actually, what you're talking about is the unwritten rule for everyone to hire monks to defend the city."

"Once the city is broken, everyone will flee."

"It's just that when they hire monks to defend the city, most of them will boast about their loyalty and bravery, so as to ask for more money."

"I've lived for so long, and it's the first time I've seen someone as honest as Mr. Zhuge ."

I had eaten and drunk enough, wiped my mouth, got up and left.

The next morning, Murphy and I inspected the defenses of the entire Black Rock City.

Lu Zijun trotted forward, "Mr. Zhuge is not familiar with your life, I will accompany you to visit."

I think this guy is a bit of a hindrance, "No."

Lu Zijun still persevered, "I'll follow behind, and I will definitely not disturb you."

Lu Zijun and a few guards from the Beifu followed us from a distance, and I didn't pay attention to it.

The 100-meter-high city wall is about five meters wide and can run horse-drawn carriages on it.

There are already many civilians, driving carriages and ox carts, shuttling endlessly to the top of the city tower.

They were transporting wood, oil, and other goods up to the city.

There are also things like earthen cannons, which are being reloaded.

Murphy suddenly realized, "The fireworks show we saw the other night should be what they did to fend off the tide of beasts."

I said, "Probably."

Murphy asked, "Hidden Dragon, how do you have time to stop and help them fend off the tide of beasts?"

"We can take something else to replace the wasteland crystals, and leave as soon as possible, so as not to wade into this unnecessary muddy water."

I said, "At first, that's what I thought."

"But I've thought about it carefully, we came to the Wasteland, and we never knew much about this world."

"If one day, we face an unknown danger alone, I am afraid that we will suffer a great loss because we cannot cope with it.

"Therefore, it is always good for us to follow and see the tide of beasts."

I summoned the Bone Spirit Horse, rode around the city with Murphy, and found that only due south was fending off the attack of the beast tide.

In the remaining directions, there is not a single one.
