Chapter 367: The Calm Before the Storm
Chapter 367: The Calm Before the Storm
Obviously, Lei Lin was very lucky, this thunder spirit was first semi-refined by Hao Qiu, and then struggled in Hao Qiu's body for a long time, and its power was weakened to a certain extent. In the end, it was so easy to be refined by Lei Lin.
This kind of thing, for Lei Lin, can almost be said to be a good thing for free pie in the sky, and it really made a "windfall"!
For this unexpected "windfall", Lei Lin was naturally extremely excited.
Not to mention the others, the thunder spirit is many times stronger than the ordinary fire spirit object in all aspects, which means that Lei Lin's fire movement methods, such as "Flame Slash", etc., will be doubled in power!
Not to mention, if there is a chance, Lei Lin can also master the meta-technique of "Thunder Xing"!
The harvest this time is so huge, if Lei Lin is not excited and ecstatic, then there is really a problem with his brain!
However, just when Lei Lin was ecstatic, he suddenly frowned, and faintly heard an unusual movement!
......
The night was deep, and the entire world outside Zhenbeiguan was shrouded in cold night.
The roaring wind did not stop for a moment, which made people feel a kind of panic. However, apart from the terrible sound of the wind, there seemed to be no movement, and tonight was a rare quiet in comparison.
These days, Zhenbei Pass has been attacked by the demon clan from time to time, and almost everyone in Zhenbei Pass has been tense at all times, and there is already a feeling of exhaustion.
In this case, the guards on the head of Zhenbei Pass City naturally have a rare tranquility today, and the eyes of the guards standing guard at this time are rarely a little relaxed.
It's just that these guards don't know. This tranquility. It's just the calm before the storm. The night was quieter. The ensuing outbreak became even more terrifying! Far away from Zhenbei Pass, there were already thousands of demon clans rushing towards this Xiongguan in a frenzied and bloodthirsty manner.
Under the darkness of the night, these demon clans did not let out the slightest roar very abnormally, but silently rushed forward. Not only that, but the sound of their feet was also extremely light, and their movements were light and restrictive, so that although they were numerous, they did not have the huge movement that seemed to overturn the earth in the past.
These demons. No one will be unfamiliar with it, because since the demon clan broke through the lock demon pass and invaded on a large scale, these demon clans with teeth and claws and all kinds of demons have been familiar to the human race.
And after the baptism of continuous fierce battles, the waves are sweeping the sand, at this time, in this demon clan team, almost all of the elites of the demon clan can survive, and they have the strongest combat effectiveness. At the same time, it has a crazy and bloodthirsty will to fight, and a powerful means to protect itself.
These demons. Even in the lowest-level lower-level demon soldiers, when fighting one-on-one with the martial arts realm martial cultivators in the human race, the human martial arts cultivators may not be able to defeat them.
In addition, not to mention the overwhelming number of demon clans! Such a large-scale gathering, the power of the collective attack is unimaginable!
......
At this time, almost no one in the entire Zhenbei Pass could sense the terrible crisis that would come soon, except for Lei Lin.
This kind of large-scale outbreak of war has brought Lei Lin another biggest benefit, which is the cultivation of the "Blood Alchemy Technique".
Even if Lei Lin didn't practice the "Blood Refining Technique" diligently, the blood energy left over from the various lives of the fresh death was too rich, and Lei Lin just took some time every day to cultivate it regularly, and the strengthening speed of this soul was incredible!
Now, in terms of soul power alone, Lei Lin is even stronger than Shentong who is in a weakened state. Therefore, the scanning and sensing range of his divine sense had already expanded to a radius of dozens of miles outside Zhenbei Pass, and he could naturally vaguely sense the rapid approach of the demon clan's army.
In addition, Lei Lin could also sense that among the demon clans, there were two extremely terrifying auras - they were definitely the breaths of the demon clans that belonged to the "demon general" level!
Lei Lin's brows sank, knowing that this news must be known to Hao Shengtian and the others immediately, so that Zhenbei Pass could prepare for a fierce battle. Otherwise, once you are caught off guard by the demon army, the entire Zhenbei Pass may be lost. If so, that's a terrible thing!
Thinking like this, Lei Lin naturally did not delay the time, and immediately pushed the door out......
......
At this time, in the Zhenbei Guanzhen Guarding Mansion, Hao Shengtian did not rest, but summoned all the generals to come to discuss the matter.
Hao Shengtian had just received extremely bad news, which made him not care about the joy of Hao Qiu's illness being cured, and summoned the people to come to the town guard mansion late at night to discuss the matter.
In the conference hall, Hao Shengtian's face was full of seriousness and anxiety, and he kept pacing and walking around with his hands behind his back.
At the bottom, more than a dozen elite soldiers and strong generals in Zhenbei Guanzhong, Wu Xiu, sat on the bamboo chair, silent.
"Everyone, this time the demon clan is really menacing, and the ambition is great, so they actually divided their troops into several ways and attacked various big cities at the same time. Originally, according to common sense, such a division of forces would make the forces dispersed, and it would be difficult to achieve any results. However, the number of demon clans somehow exceeded everyone's imagination, and the powerful offensive launched was almost the sum of the previous Hundred Years' Wars! I have already received the news that Leifeng City has fallen, becoming the first giant city to fall among the twenty-one giant cities......
As soon as Hao Shengtian's words came out, all the martial cultivators under him trembled, and their complexions couldn't help but change.
In fact, although the large-scale war between the demon race and the human race has formed a pattern, occurring once every hundred years, in history, the demon race has never really captured one of the twenty-one giant cities. The closest thing is in the First Hundred Years' War, where Hump City, which almost fell, was narrowly and narrowly saved.
And this time, Leifeng City, which is located in the western part of the Desolate Martial Continent, has actually fallen! Such earth-shattering news, if it weren't for Hao Shengtian, who has always been serious, would have thought it was a joke!
"My lord, why is the demon clan's offensive so fierce this time?"
After being quiet for a while, in the next martial arts cultivation, someone asked.
Hao Shengtian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "How do I know...... In fact, almost anyone was surprised by such a powerful offensive of the demon clan this time, including the city lords of the twenty-one giant cities. This time the demon clan is so ferocious, it seems to show that this demon clan is no longer the demon clan we were familiar with in the past, and the past history and experience may not be of much use......
Hao Shengtian's words of sigh made the audience quiet again.
At this time, a black-faced martial artist stood up, arched his hand, and said, "My lord, since that Leifeng City can be lost, I am afraid that other giant cities may also be lost." And although the north pass of my town is a male pass, it is far from the giant city in comparison. Therefore, we need to be prepared in advance in case something happens!"
As soon as this black-faced Wu Xiu's words came out, he immediately received a nod of approval from everyone:
"That's right! This demon clan's attack this time is so fierce, Leifeng City has fallen, no one knows if it will be my turn to Zhenbeiguan next time!"
"We must muster up the spirit of 120,000 points and be prepared for a possible attack by the demon clan at any time!"
"Alas...... This demon clan can be said to have caught our clan off guard, and now, we can only defend desperately......"
......
Everyone was gossiping, Hao Shengtian nodded, and said: "What you said is very reasonable! Actually, in addition to the news of the fall of Leifeng City, I also got the news that Phantom City in the northwest, Flower City in the east, and Nandu City in the southeast were all caught in a bitter battle, not only did they not issue emergency documents, but they asked for help from other giant cities. These news are already from a month ago, and everyone knows the speed at which this news spreads, maybe by the time I get the news, these three giant cities have already followed in the footsteps of Leifeng City......"
As soon as Hao Shengtian's words came out, everyone fell into a sluggish state again.
The fall of one giant city in "Leifeng City" is not enough, there are even three giant cities, the Phantom City in the northwest, the Flower City in the east, and the southern capital city in the southeast have also fallen into crisis, and may even have fallen......
What's wrong with this world? When did the demon clan get crazy to this point......
With a long sigh, looking at everyone's pale and bloodless faces, Hao Shengtian said: "Let's not care about the situation in other places for the time being, anyway, this town is in my hands, and there is absolutely no room for loss! Therefore, from this moment on, everyone must cheer up and begin to carefully prepare for defense......
Before Hao Shengtian finished speaking, his mouth was open and closed, his eyes were full of doubts and incomprehension, and he looked out of the conference hall in a daze.
Everyone in the hall was stunned when they saw Hao Shengtian's appearance, and then after glancing at each other, they all followed Hao Shengtian's gaze and looked out of the hall.
They only saw that in the night, Lei Lin, who was dressed in a white robe, walked slowly, and between his demeanor, there was an indescribable calmness like a mountain.
No matter what the purpose of Lei Lin's sudden arrival, Hao Shengtian was very happy, and he immediately ignored anything else and went out.
"Lei Xianchang, why are you here in the middle of the night?"
The matter was urgent, and Lei Lin said directly: "Lord Townguard, did you get some bad news, so you called your subordinates to discuss the matter in the middle of the night?"
Hao Shengtian said respectfully: "Immortal Elders are like gods! Indeed, the contemptible people have just received the news that Leifeng City among the twenty-one giant cities has fallen, and the Phantom City in the northwest, the Flower City in the east, and the Nandu City in the southeast are all besieged by the demon clan, and they have issued an urgent document to ask for help from other giant cities......
Lei Lin nodded slowly: "This time the offensive of the demon clan is indeed extraordinary, much more terrifying than any hundred years war recorded in history. ”
Hao Shengtian smiled bitterly and sighed: "It's not just terrifying...... If this continues, it is not impossible for the human race to completely exterminate the race and species on the Desolate Continent......" (To be continued......
