Donghong Township.

On the dry riverbed, seven or eight elite swordsmen of the Yu family, as well as two sword masters of the Yu family, plus a demon slasher Tsing Yi Wei, were surrounding and attacking a monster with a small body and black markings all over its body, like a leopard but not a leopard, and a wolf but not a wolf.

However, with the strength of the people, it was still difficult to take down this monster, and I saw that it was constantly rushing left and right in the siege of the crowd, and from time to time it waved its claws, and blood splashed.

Black-striped demon leopard!

Being able to deal with the siege of so many people, and even the existence of three Yi Jin Realms, there is no doubt that they are a kind of third-order monsters.

"Don't fight hard, entangle it, don't let it escape!"

Tsing Yi Wei Ding drank in the mouth of the river.

If the strength of the people is to fight to the death, even if they can kill this black-veined demon leopard in the end, they will at least kill and injure a few people, and even a few of their martial artists in the Yijin Realm may not be able to be unharmed, but this place is very close to the township of Donghong Township, but there is no need to fight to the death, just need to besiege it here, and there will be support soon.

Although there are manpower patrols and arrangements in key places throughout Donghong Township, it is inevitable that there will still be fish that slip through the net, such as the black demon leopard, which is small in size and fast, sneaks in in the dark night and cannot be prepared in advance.

"Roar!"

Seeing that everyone in the vicinity did not fight with him, the black-veined demon leopard only trapped it in the center with three characters from the Yi Jing Realm as the leader, and even if it didn't move, the other party would not attack, so a deep roar came out of his mouth.

It is a monster after all, not an ordinary beast, at this time it has vaguely sensed that the situation is not good, and after a sudden roar, it suddenly rushed out to the right, and did not hesitate to resist Ding He's knife and forcibly rushed out of the encirclement.

"Not good."

Ding He's complexion changed slightly.

If you let this monster escape, it will be very troublesome to pursue it later.

But his speed was not as fast as the other party, and after the black-veined demon leopard forcibly rushed over at once, the knife he swung could no longer catch up.

But.

Just when the black-veined demon leopard saw that it was about to flee from the encirclement, a white-clothed figure suddenly came, and a beam of sword light swept obliquely, forcing the black-veined demon leopard's figure to be stunned, forcibly contained, and driven back into the encirclement again.

The person who came was Xu Hongyu.

"Your Excellency is here!"

Seeing this, many swordsmen of the Yu family were all refreshed, and they waved their knives one after another to restrain them.

Xu Hongyu's strength was originally enough to deal with any third-order monster, most of which could be killed independently, and at this time, many subordinates were restrained from the side, and in a few moves, the throat of the black-veined demon leopard was penetrated.

"Adult's swordsmanship is ...... superb"

Ding He gasped slightly, looking at the corpse of the black-striped demon leopard and flattering.

Xu Hongyu didn't respond, but quickly disposed of the body of the black-veined demon leopard, took away the blood essence, and was looking into the distance, Xiaohe's figure came from not far away.

"Miss, there is a change in the direction of the Wasteland Mountain, and someone has reported that there is a movement over there, and a mountain has collapsed."

Xiaohe came to Xu Hongyu's side and quickly stated.

The ground moves, the landslides ......

Xu Hongyu hesitated slightly, then thought of something, and said, "Is it the terrain change caused by the great drought?" There may be some rare things that will be born, but at the moment of demon chaos, the Wasteland Mountain is not safe. ”

I thought that Chen Mu was on the side of the Wasteland Mountain, maybe he would go over to investigate, but compared to any treasure, it was still important for Chen Mu's safety, after all, the Wasteland Mountain was located at the junction of the two counties, and the news could be obtained here, and the He family in Huaiyu County was the same, but Chen Mu had always acted safely, and there should be no chaos.

Xiaohe whispered, "Why don't I go over and have a look." ”

Although she can't help much in terms of strength, and entering the Wasteland Mountain will become a burden, but after all, she is also a figure in the Yi Jin Realm, and she can at least help monitor the situation on the periphery.

Xu Hongyu groaned slightly, in fact, she also wanted to go over, but from today onwards, various places have reported one after another, and the monsters are much more frequent than yesterday, and they seem to be more manic, and the monsters like the black-striped demon leopard even sneak into the township at night, if she leaves the township, the threat of this third-order monster will increase a lot.

If you ignore the past, don't help Chen Mu or even add to the chaos, it will undoubtedly be chaos.

Thinking about it.

Suddenly.

A whistle sounded in the southern sky.

Xu Hongyu, Xiaohe, Ding He and others all looked up at the same time.

I only heard the whistle, and after it went straight into the sky, it did not gradually subside, but made a bend and then whistled again, followed by a third whistle, three in a row, resounding through the sky.

Three whistles!

Everyone's faces couldn't help but change!

In the demon chaos, the three whistles are the most serious situation, and even the whistle alone cannot fully judge the situation of the situation, and someone must be summoned to know the detailed situation.

But no matter what the situation is, three whistles together means that people in one place will gather.

"Let's go!"

Xu Hongyu reacted quickly, and immediately shouted in a deep voice: "Mobilize the remaining manpower in the township, notify the surrounding areas, and all the residents of the villages in the direction of the three rings will evacuate, and once there is specific news, immediately notify the county government......"

While she was returning to the township, she quickly gave orders, and after the orders went down one by one, soon there were people stationed in the township and the surrounding areas who had nothing to do for the time being, gathered from all sides, and headed to the south of the three outposts.

On the way south.

From all sides, there were other people who received the three whistles and gathered, and the number became more and more, and soon there were nearly 100 people, not only the people brought by Xu Hongyu, but also some 'good hands' from the township were mobilized.

Along the way, it was not too far to the south, and the team led by Xu Hongyu directly met the personnel who came to report the news, that person was a black-clothed guard, who seemed to be running all the way, and when he arrived in front of Xu Hongyu, he had begun to pant.

"Your Excellency...... The direction of Nangou Mountain is abnormal, there are a large number of monsters, which seem to gather from all directions, there are hundreds, there are three orders and two orders, there are fighting with each other, and they have not yet traveled north......"

Hundreds of monsters!

Xu Hongyu couldn't help but stare when she heard this, no wonder there were three whistles, in general, among the townships, it is very uncommon for monsters of this scale to gather, even in times of great drought, after all, monsters are different from people, and they are not in order.

But since there is such an anomaly where hundreds of monsters gather, it is very likely that after the chaos, it is very likely to attack north, and it is indeed necessary to gather people in advance to deal with it no matter what.

"Keep on your way."

Xu Hongyu listened to the report and immediately spoke in a deep voice.

The team continued to the south, and marched about seven or eight miles, and once again ushered in a messenger, this time it was a county government officer, who ran almost out of breath, and his face was a little pale, and after meeting the team, he said intermittently:

"Your Excellency...... To the south, the monster has attacked ......"

"Let's go!"

Xu Hongyu looked calm and continued to move forward.

Finally, after two or three miles forward, I came to a high slope, and when I looked south, I saw that on the gentle land, a large number of strange-shaped monsters rushed from a distance, although the whole did not form a team, and they were far away from each other, but at a glance they were everywhere, and the number of hundreds could be said to be no exaggeration.

"All departments, follow me to meet the attack, don't scatter the manpower, hit the troops and break them one by one!"

Xu Hongyu's cold voice rippled above the wasteland.

Although the scale of the monsters is a little too large, the number is hundreds, and even the first-order ones are very few, most of them are second-order, and there are many third-order ones that can be seen at a glance, if they are completely gathered and collide with each other like an army, then the strength of Xu Hongyu's side is at least two or three times worse, and it is completely impossible to compete.

But the monsters are not in order after all, the formations are scattered and far away from each other, and a little wisdom is not high, even if the troops are insufficient, as long as they form a local area to fight more and fight less, they can still be gradually broken with superior forces.

"Yes!"

Many demon slaying divisions, green guards, and even black-clothed guards who have experience in demon hunting, all responded in a deep voice at this time, but there are also some inexperienced people who are dealing with demon chaos for the first time, and they are a little uneasy when they look at the monsters all over the mountain.

Kill!

Xu Hongyu was dressed in white, took the lead with a person on the high slope, rushed down, and came to the nearest second-order monster, and together with the sword light in his hand, he struck the second-order monster to the head.

A group of people and horses in the rear, the maid Xiaohe, the Tsing Yi Wei Dinghe and others who slashed the demon division, also rushed down at this time, and soon collided with the monsters that rushed straight on the wasteland.

The importance of decision-making is evident at this moment.

If the forces are dispersed, trying to train into a line, blocking the path of all the monsters, and forming a scattered fight, it can only be blocked for a short time, and it will soon be completely dispersed, but Xu Hongyu ordered to concentrate the superior forces, with more strikes and fewer blows, and soon killed a large number of monsters one by one.

And those monsters who were far away and were not on the path of interception by everyone did not take this opportunity to directly cross this high slope defense line, but instead noticed the battlefield on the side of Xu Hongyu and others, and soon began to take the initiative to gather from all directions, and there was no need to take the initiative to divide troops to meet it.

Soon.

It didn't take long for a fierce battle to fall, although the team led by Xu Hongyu also had some casualties, but the proportion was less than one-tenth, while the monster side suffered several times the casualties, killing at least fifty or sixty second-order demons, more than a dozen third-order demons, and many of them fled due to injuries.

But even so, Xu Hongyu, Xiaohe and others on the battlefield did not show the slightest relaxation and joy, but the more they fought, the more solemn their expressions became.

Because.

The number of monsters killed and injured and fleeing has exceeded 100, but at a glance above the wasteland, the monsters attacking in the distance are not much different from the beginning, and they are still popping up in this direction.

This is not a hundred, but at least two or three hundred or more!

"How can there be so many?!"

Xu Hongyu was another sword, and with the cooperation of Xiaohe and several people, after killing a third-order monster, his chest rose and fell slightly, and he gasped slightly for a while, looking at the wasteland in the distance, his eyes showed a trace of surprise.

The number of these gatherings is undoubtedly too much, and the most bizarre thing is that the monster she just killed is clearly a kind that will only be stimulated and manic when it is cold, and it is clearly a drought at the moment, but it also looks like it has been stimulated.

Wrong!

Xu Hongyu instinctively felt that the situation was wrong, but for a while she couldn't think of the cause of the problem, and now she looked at the monsters that were still coming as before, and her heart only became more and more solemn.

The situation is not good.

Although the monsters are not in order, their side is concentrated on the confrontation with superior forces, and always maintains a local siege with more fights and fewer fights, but the problem is that this kind of fierce fight is also very physically demanding, and after this vicious fight, she can still continue to fight, but some martial artists who are just practicing meat realm, the loss of qi and blood is very serious, and the physical strength is obviously declining.

Defeat hundreds of monsters, and the damage is less than one-tenth, but another hundred is definitely not that number.

It's hard to say if it can even be stopped.

Burst!

Ding He's body was stained with blood, and a knife pierced the body of a second-order demon, and then he gasped violently twice, exhaled a mouthful of rich white mist, and glanced at the distance with a somewhat ugly face, and quickly retreated for a while, coming to Xu Hongyu's approach.

"My lord, there are too many monsters, I'm afraid it's not good to continue fighting, do you want to retreat for the time being?"

In such a situation, if we do not retreat and seek to recuperate and continue the fierce fighting, the casualties will inevitably increase gradually, and the situation will undoubtedly become worse and worse, until the whole line collapses.

Xu Hongyu's eyes also changed at this time, the nearest village from here had already sent people to evacuate in advance, and there was indeed room for a short retreat, but the problem was the current situation, even if the retreat might be difficult to find a respite, after all, the monsters were still coming, and the retreat would only move the battle line back.

I'm afraid Ding He's meaning is more to give up resistance for the time being, let all the monsters over, wait until reinforcements arrive at the county government, and then counterattack again, but then the impact will be really big, hundreds of monsters will scatter into the township, at least a few or more villages will be ravaged by it, and even the township may fall into a demon disaster.

If you don't withdraw, it will be difficult to continue to support for a long time.

Just when Xu Hongyu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she couldn't make up her mind immediately, Xiaohe suddenly stretched out her little hand and poked her.

Xu Hongyu was stunned for a moment, and then followed Xiaohe's line of sight, and noticed that on the high slope in the distance, a figure in green clothes came from the east, holding a fine iron knife in his hand, reflecting a long shadow under the sunset in the west, like stepping on a canal, wearing a mountain on his head, stepping down from the high slope and arriving at the battle line.

"Something happened, and it took some time, but it seems that I still caught up."

Chen Mu came to the front of the battle line, nodded lightly at Xu Hongyu, and then stepped forward.

Watching Chen Mu's figure face the battle line, facing the mountain monsters that were still surging in the distance, Xu Hongyu's pure eyes shimmered with a little light, and then glanced at Ding He next to him, and said, "No need to panic, continue to fight." ”

"But ......"

Ding He was stunned for a moment, and was about to persuade something more, but saw that Xu Hongyu had already moved forward to kill again.

Obviously, Xu Hongyu already had the intention of retreating just now, why did she suddenly change her mind again, could it be because of Chen Mu, who had just arrived? But now, even though Chen Mu has some strength, he can ...... reinforcements alone

The thought came to an abrupt end.
