Chapter 288: Shifts and Shifts, Abnormal Retreat

The night was getting deeper.

Qian Kai, Zhao Rou, and Yang Zimi finally obeyed Liu Wei's arrangement and stayed in the health hospital to recuperate and rest.

Qiao Xiu followed Liu Wei to dress neatly and came to the city wall.

Coming to the city wall with them, there were also a group of generals of the Dongcheng garrison led by Nie Yang.

They spread out, each responsible for a point, and put the entire eastern city wall under tight defensive guard.

In addition to these extraordinary third-order masters, those who are responsible for guarding the city walls are more extraordinary warriors of the Dongcheng garrison.

After the daytime battle, the ordinary extraordinary soldiers of the Dongcheng garrison lost almost one-tenth, and although the casualties were not small, they were not to the extent of breaking their muscles and bones.

And after the Great War, the remaining extraordinary warriors naturally became more bloody and brave.

Therefore, even if there is a reduction in numbers, in terms of overall combat effectiveness, this Dongcheng garrison has not weakened much.

A garrison army of thousands of people, and dozens of transcendent third-order masters gathered on the wall of the East City, condensing an incomparably powerful momentum.

Even in the middle of the night, in the dark of the night, this momentum seems to be like a substance, and it is integrated with the city wall, intimidating some small people outside the city wall.

Whether it was the evil black qi, the army of mutant monsters, or the extraordinary beasts that were used to walking at night, they did not dare to take a step close to the city wall of the East City at this time.

......

Roar Roar Roar ......

A few kilometers away from the city walls, mutated monsters beneath the area shrouded in evil black qi let out loud roars from time to time.

"Liu Wei, do you think that when you wait until the middle of the night, those ghosts in the distance will come?"

Listening to the roar of the mutant monster in the distance, Qiao Xiu, who was standing on the city wall and staring at the front for a while, suddenly turned around and asked Liu Wei, who was also standing aside, in a low voice.

With his strength, he is actually not worried about the comeback of the evil black qi and the army of mutant monsters, and he will only fight one more battle left and right.

Just listening to the incessant roars of mutant monsters in the distance inevitably made him feel a little annoyed.

If it weren't for the fear that he would fall into inexplicable danger if he attacked rashly at night, Qiao Xiu would have been a little impulsive and wanted to rush over and kill him.

Maybe it was because he had just refined seven bottles of extraordinary third-order alien beast essence blood, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Body had gone one step further, and his overall strength had improved, making the battle intent in Qiao Xiu's heart easy to stir up.

He asked at this moment, not worried that the other party would come, but a little expecting and hoping that the other party would take advantage of the night to kill. 、

In that case, he can fight again.

"I don't know ......"

It wasn't the first time Liu Wei had heard Qiao Xiu ask this question tonight, and this time he shook his head and gave an uncertain answer.

"Whether they'll come or not, we're already here anyway...... If we don't come, we can save some effort and rest for a while...... So, we don't really care if they come tonight or not, as long as we don't change everything......"

Immediately afterwards, Liu Wei also clearly expressed his views on this issue.

"Haha, that's right, we're all here, whether they come or not......"

After listening to Liu Wei's words, Qiao Xiu couldn't help but laugh and deeply agreed.

Then, although the battle intent in his heart was still condensed, he suddenly did not have the restlessness that he wanted to rush over just now.

It's like a sharp blade, hidden inside, and can be unsheathed at any time, but there is no need to rush it.

"Well, Ah Xiu, let's take turns standing guard next, you rest for a while, I'll rest for a while, and there is no need for two people to stand here together and waste time......"

Liu Wei is an old man, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his eyes are like torches many times, and he didn't notice the restlessness coming from Qiao Xiu's body just now.

It's just that sometimes it is more effective to persuade people bluntly than to wake up in a roundabout way.

Now seeing that Qiao Xiu calmed down because of his words, Liu Wei naturally nodded slightly with satisfaction.

Then he quickly shifted the subject.

"Okay, no problem, Liu Wei, I see that you don't have time or opportunity to breathe well during the day, or you can take advantage of the calm now, hurry up and find a quiet place to rest in the back." ”

Regarding Liu Wei's proposal, Qiao Xiu did not object.

Because before the army of evil black qi and mutant monsters on the opposite side came over, it didn't make much sense for them to stand guard together and stare at the front.

Originally, there were rows of extraordinary warriors on the entire city wall, guarding everything in front of them, and these masters only needed to ensure that each point was guarded, and they could see the situation farther away from the opposite side for the first time.

So two people or one person, it doesn't make much difference.

In this way, it is best to have a chance for everyone to have time to rest.

Qiao Xiu thought that he had just made a breakthrough, and now he was at the peak of his mental and physical strength, so there was no need to rest, or he was not in a hurry to rest for a while.

On the contrary, it was Liu Wei, who was the same as Qiao Xiu during the day, although he did not suffer too much injury, but he also had some external injuries, and he faced the strongest wave of mutant monsters during the daytime, and the battle loss was very large, so he should have a little more time to recover from pranayama.

It's just that as the captain, he not only has to take care of Li Xin and his injured teammates, but also has to be responsible for dealing with Nie Yang and them, and finally took the initiative to help protect it for a few hours when Qiao was cultivating the essence blood of the alien beast and cultivating the immortal body of ten thousand beasts.

In this way, he naturally did not have much time to recover from pranayama.

So much so that in the case of passive pranayama, he has not returned to his heyday until now, but has only healed those skin injuries.

Qiao Xiu noticed this, heard him propose to take a break in rotation, and then offered to let him rest for a while first.

"Okay, then you're welcome. Let me see...... It's twelve o'clock in the morning, and you'll wake me up at one o'clock in the morning, and we'll rotate every hour, what do you think?"

In the face of Qiao Xiu's sensible and humble manners, Liu Wei, who knew his own situation well and also understood Qiao Xiu's state at this time, did not refuse, nodded and agreed.

Then he looked at the time again, and proposed that the next two people should rotate every hour, and let Qiao Xiu wake him up in an hour.

"Okay, just do as you say, you can go and rest quickly......"

Qiao Xiu didn't have much to do with Liu Wei's proposal, so he agreed directly, and then asked him to hurry over and find a place to rest and breathe.

"Then I'll go ......"

Liu Wei patted Qiao Xiu on the shoulder, temporarily handed over the task of standing guard to him, and then retreated behind the city wall.

The walls of Licheng are several zhang high and two zhang wide.

Next to the two of them happened to be a watchtower fortress built on the city wall, Liu Wei retreated to the back, and found a place on the side of the watchtower fortress to sit cross-legged.

In the night, although there was no roar of mutant monsters in the distance, but after a few kilometers away, the sound had weakened a lot to this side, and it was not very noisy.

Apart from these roars, the city walls and the vicinity of the city walls were actually very quiet at this moment.

Needless to say, within the city walls, at 12 o'clock in the morning, when the curfew was implemented throughout the special period, no matter the streets and alleys, or all the doors, they had fallen into silence.

And within a range of hundreds of meters outside the city wall, under the shock of the spirit array of the city wall itself and the momentum of the soldiers defending the city, even snakes, insects, rats and ants did not dare to haunt, and it was naturally very quiet.

As for the city walls, although there were thousands of transcendent warriors gathered, they all stuck to their posts one by one and maintained a high degree of vigilance at all times, except for when extraordinary third-order masters like Qiao Xiu and them got together in groups of three or two, they would occasionally communicate in a low voice, and the others would easily not make any sound.

In this way, the city wall is naturally quiet.

In such a quiet environment, Liu Wei sat down cross-legged and quickly entered the state of luck pranayama, and he was not afraid of being disturbed.

In this state, unless the army of evil black qi and mutant monsters on the opposite side suddenly came over, or Qiao Xiu suddenly came over and exchanged sounds in his ear at close range, he would not easily end the pranayama state and open his eyes to wake up.

......

Qiao Xiu also turned his head and watched his every move when Liu Wei retreated to the back and sat down cross-legged to breathe.

It wasn't until he realized that he had indeed entered a pranayama state that he withdrew his gaze, then turned his head again, staring intently ahead like the other ordinary transcendent warriors around him.

However, compared to ordinary transcendent warriors, with his powerful eyesight and powerful spiritual sense, even from a distance of several kilometers and a pitch black night, he could roughly see and feel some of the situation over there.

Whenever there was any big movement on the other side, he, or other transcendent third-order powerhouses like him, would find out in time.

This is also the reason why thousands of ordinary transcendent warriors are standing in a row on top of the entire Dongcheng city wall at all times, and they are also scattered to stand guard at the same time.

They are not only the leaders of the extraordinary warriors of each section of the city wall when the war resumes, but they are also the first cordon of the eastern city wall.

After Qiao Xiu turned around, he stood there straight with his hands on his chest like a pillar of a green pine, motionless, not even blinking his eyes.

His focus was far beyond that of ordinary transcendent warriors, and he naturally saw the situation in a large area of several kilometers ahead.

Whether it was the evil black qi that kept tumbling, or the large and small mutant monsters that kept roaring and restlessness under the black qi, they were all under his gaze.

The special vision in the black, although not as clear as in the daytime, can only see a blurry image, but as a warning, it is more than enough.

......

Time passed in the quiet of the night, and before you knew it, an hour had passed.

In the process, Qiao Xiu stood there barely moving.

And although the roar of the army of mutant monsters in front of him still did not stop, there were no more changes other than that.

They never stepped out of the area shrouded in evil black energy, and the evil black energy did not spread forward even a single distance.

Despite this, the extraordinary warriors on the city walls did not let their guard down, and they still stuck to their posts, staring ahead in unison.

Treading ......

Only Qiao Xiu suddenly turned around and walked towards Liu Wei, who was sitting cross-legged behind him.

Originally, even if he had just stood motionless for an hour, he didn't feel the slightest tiredness, and even with his strong physique and spirit, it was estimated that there would be no big problem for this night in a row.

But since he had discussed it with Liu Wei before, he would not casually break the agreement between the two, so after finding out that the time was up, he was ready to go over and wake up Liu Wei temporarily.

Of course, he didn't do this because he was rigid, stuck to the rules, and didn't know how to be flexible, but because Liu Wei was just resting in the back, not because there was anything wrong with his body.

According to Qiao Xiu's estimate, after such an hour of luck pranayama, Liu Wei should have almost recovered to his full body state by now.

In this way, it is not a difficult thing to wake up the other party and let the other party temporarily stand guard for an hour.

"Liu Wei ......"

Soon, Qiao Xiu walked to Liu Wei's side, and without having to specifically expand his spiritual sense, he was able to find that the other party's aura had indeed recovered.

Then he bent down slightly and shouted softly at Liu Wei.

Originally, Liu Wei, as a powerhouse of the Transcendent Third Order, or even comparable to the Transcendent Third Order, would remain a little vigilant even when he was in luck and pranayama, but whenever someone approached, he would wake up in time.

However, because he was now on the city wall, surrounded by thousands of extraordinary warriors of the Dongcheng garrison, and there was such a trustworthy teammate as Qiao Xiu a few meters away, so this time Liu Wei immersed all his spirit in the time of luck breathing, so when Qiao Xiu approached, he didn't notice it for the first time, and it wasn't until Qiao Xiu shouted that he opened his eyes and woke up.

"Whew...... Qiao Xiu, has it been an hour?"

Liu Wei opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, before he raised his head and looked at Qiao Xiu and asked.

"Well, yes, it's one o'clock in the morning, you should be almost recovered......"

Qiao Xiu nodded softly, and then asked casually.

Although he could detect Liu Wei's state by himself, it was better to let the other party confirm some things personally.

Syllable......

"yes, I'm in ...... right now"

Liu Wei's legs, which were sitting cross-legged, shook slightly, and he jumped up lightly and stood firmly, and then replied.

"That's good, now that you've recovered, I'll leave the next hour of standing guard to you......"

Confirming that the other party had completely recovered, Qiao Xiu was not polite, and in accordance with the previous agreement between the two, he handed over the task of standing guard for the next hour to Liu Wei.

"Okay, no problem, you should hurry up and take a good rest......"

This way of taking turns to stand guard every hour was proposed by Liu Wei himself, and when he heard Qiao Xiu say this, he naturally would not have any opinions.

He nodded and agreed, and did not forget to tell Qiao Xiu to rest.

"Well, I got ......"

Qiao Xiu also nodded yes, and then watched Liu Wei walk towards the very edge of the city wall.

When Liu Wei returned to their standing position and began to stand still like him and look ahead, Qiao Xiu also sat down cross-legged next to the place where Liu Wei had just meditated.

"Hoo ......"

As mentioned earlier, after Qiao Xiu refined seven bottles of transcendent third-order alien beast essence blood to improve the immortal body of ten thousand beasts, his physical and spiritual aura was in its heyday, even after an hour of standing motionless and vigilant, his state did not weaken much.

So he sat down cross-legged at this moment, and without spending much thought and time, he could simply replenish the little bit and its subtle consumption just now.

So with more than half an hour left, what is he going to do?

The answer is simple, he will use this time to visualize the operation of the Ten Thousand Steel Furnace Douqi Breathing Method.

With the breakthrough of the Eight Desolations Fist Intent not long ago, as well as the successive ascension of the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Body, Qiao Xiu was now just short of raising the Ten Thousand Steel Furnace Fighting Qi to break through the transcendent third-order high-level.

Therefore, if he had time, he would naturally try his best to cultivate the Ten Thousand Steel Furnace Breathing Method.

Airplanes......

After Qiao Xiu sat down cross-legged, he didn't hesitate much, he directly closed his eyes, and then began to visualize the fighting qi in the body of the Wangang furnace.

Because it is now located on the city wall, Qiao Xiu has not completely released the restrictions.

He just visualized the Wangang Furnace, and at the same time let the Dou Qi only circulate in his body, preventing the Dou Qi from overflowing into the body, and condensing into a Wangang Furnace that was exactly the same as the visualization in the depths of the spiritual space.

Originally, if that was the case, the Wangang furnace would wrap the body, and the quenching effect on the body would be more obvious.

But in that case, the movement will be too loud, it will attract the attention of other people around them, and affect their standing guard.

Now is the time for all the staff to be vigilant, not the time to specialize in cultivation, and Qiao Xiu still has a clear distinction between the priorities and priorities of things.

Even so, Qiao Xiu skillfully entered the state of visualization, and then the fighting qi continued to circulate in his body, and at the same time began to attract the free energy of heaven and earth from the outside world into his body, and the cultivation effect was still very good.

Also in order to avoid making too much noise, Qiao Xiu deliberately controlled the amount of free energy absorbed from the outside world, so he did not form a huge energy vortex, but only brought a breeze around him.

In fact, this is good, the so-called thin water is suitable for the current situation.

Whew......

Because there was no influence from the outside world, Qiao Xiu was also like Liu Wei before, almost immersed all his spirit into it, and did not leave a trace of it as an advanced guard.

In this way, the effect of visualization cultivation will naturally be better, and it will also invisibly make up for some of the loss of efficiency caused by restraint.

......

Time passed quickly in the process of Qiao Xiu's immersion in cultivation, and before he knew it, it was another hour.

"Hey, there are a lot of evil resentments of mutant monsters accumulated during this time, and the effect is not bad after refining......"

This time, Qiao Xiu didn't need Liu Wei to come over to exchange, he himself had already sobered up in advance.

After opening his eyes, Qiao Xiu laughed and said to himself.

It seems that he knows that his cultivation effect in just one hour this time is good, and the harvest is not small.

And the evil resentment of the mutant monsters mentioned in his mouth was the residual resentment of those mutant monsters who were dragged into his soul spiritual space by the fighting spirit of the Wangang Furnace after they died in his hands, and imprisoned on the Wangang Furnace.

After these resentments are refined by the visualization of the Ten Thousand Steel Furnace, they can be turned into the Enhancement Nutrients of the Ten Thousand Steel Furnace, which can not only improve Qiao Xiu's soul spiritual strength, but also increase Qiao Xiu's Ten Thousand Steel Furnace Breathing Method cultivation speed.

This is probably also the unexpected joy brought by his Ten Thousand Steel Furnace Fighting Qi and Evil Black Qi Heavenly Life and Death Rivalry.

"Qiao Xiu, I was about to come over and wake you up, but I didn't expect you to wake up yourself......"

When Qiao Xiu was talking to himself and carefully comprehending the operation of the fighting qi in his body, Liu Wei, who was standing guard at the edge of the city wall, had already walked over and spoke.

"Well, yes, I just finished a round of Sunday running, so it's over a little early. ”

Qiao Xiu responded, and with a slight force on his feet, he stood up directly.

"I just worked hard for you, leave it to me now......"

Then he smiled and took the initiative to take over the next task of standing guard from Liu Wei.

"Okay, I'm sorry for you......"

Liu Wei nodded after hearing this, and followed politely.

"Haha, then I'll pass, you have a good rest......"

Qiao Xiu laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Liu Wei's shoulder, then walked past him, and after a few steps, he came to the edge of the city wall again, and continued to turn into a wooden stake, standing there motionless and looking at everything in front of him.

......

"Hehe......"

Liu Wei looked at Qiao Xiu's back, only felt extremely reliable, then smiled lightly and sat down cross-legged again.

Like Qiao Xiu, he had returned to his heyday before, even if he had just stood guard for an hour, his consumption was extremely small.

Therefore, it basically didn't take much time for him to sit down and rest and regain his qi this time, and most of the remaining time was naturally better to cultivate, so as not to waste it.

Cultivation is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, except for the occasional relaxation that is needed to relax, you must devote yourself to it most of the time, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain a state of continuous improvement.

Although Liu Wei felt that his talent was not bad, he also knew that he was not that kind of peerless genius, so in order to be able to go further on the transcendent road, it was the most basic consciousness and practice to never waste time when he had time to cultivate.

Call......

After sitting down cross-legged, Liu Wei adjusted his breath, concentrated, and soon entered the state.

Like Qiao Xiu, in order not to make too much movement and disturb the surrounding extraordinary warriors who were on full alert, Liu Wei deliberately controlled the frequency and speed of the true qi in his body, and did not let it overflow out of his body.

Whew......

Under control, Liu Wei, who was in a state of cultivation, looked as if he was resting with his eyes closed. If it weren't for the fact that the free energy of heaven and earth was converging from all directions, forming a breeze around him, he wouldn't know that he was cultivating without a special detection of his spiritual sense.

......

Time passed in such silence.

Soon it was another hour.

Then Qiao Xiu retreated from his standing guard position and exchanged with Liu Wei again.

Under this turn, a few hours passed.

When the time came to six o'clock in the morning, the sky had begun to light slightly, but the army of evil black qi and mutant monsters a few kilometers away on the opposite side had not had the slightest abnormal reaction.

At the end of the night, the evil black qi just kept rolling in its original position, but it did not move forward and spread even further.

And the army of mutant monsters in it just kept restless, roaring, but as if they were restricted, they didn't step out of the area covered by evil black qi.

"It's almost dawn......"

"yes, it's almost dawn......"

At this time, Qiao Xiu and Liu Wei had finished standing guard in turn all night, and they stood together on the edge of the city wall again, looking at the sky that had begun to dawn all around, looking at the scene several kilometers away in the distance, and said softly.

"Did you think they would kill them today, and if so, when would they be?"

Qiao Xiu suddenly asked again whether the army of evil black qi and mutant monsters on the opposite side would kill him.

After all, after the night passed, it had been almost a day since the end of the battle yesterday, and the army of evil black qi and mutant monsters had retreated.

And judging from their observations overnight, the number of mutant monsters in the evil black qi has recovered a lot.

This dense figure from the black air, and the louder and louder and noisy roar can also be seen.

Having said that, regarding the question of the number of mutant monsters, Qiao Xiu still had a lot of doubts in their hearts.

In the past, at the beginning, all the mutant monsters they saw were normal creatures that were mutated after being infected by evil black qi. It stands to reason that in the case of the limited scope of the evil black qi, the number of these mutated monsters is also limited, that is, the number of these mutated monsters is as large as the number of creatures that were originally infected.

Based on this, then after their killing and elimination, if the evil black qi does not re-spread and infect more normal creatures, then the number of mutated monsters in the area it envelops should be less and less.

However, judging from the following circumstances, even if the evil black qi does not continue to spread and infect more normal creatures, in the area it envelopes, the number of mutated monsters will still recover after decreasing.

Just like now, after yesterday's battle to defend the city, tens of thousands of mutated monsters of all sizes died under the walls of their eastern city, which has greatly reduced the number of mutated monsters in the area covered by the evil black qi nearby, to the point that the evil black qi had to take the initiative to retreat.

However, in less than a day, the number of mutated monsters in the evil black qi seemed to have almost recovered.

Even if there is still a certain gap compared to yesterday before they launched their attack, this gap is definitely not very large.

Only after discovering this situation, Qiao Xiu and the others, including the official staff of Maocheng, have done a lot of speculation and analysis.

In the end, a conjecture was that in addition to constantly infecting new normal creatures, these evil black qi also had another way to maintain or increase the number of mutated monsters in their area, which may be similar to the cutting-edge biological science and medical method "cloning" that had been banned from being used by the countries of the Blue Star countries for ethical reasons before the spirit tide returned to transcendent awakening.

In other words, after infecting a group of normal creatures, these evil black gases or their sources may have preserved their cell genetic information, and then through the power of evil black gas, they can use these genetic information to reshape a group of mutant monsters.

Of course, there is no way to verify this conjecture so far, but in the hearts of many people, this conjecture has been accepted.

Because only in this way can we explain why the mutated monsters inside the area shrouded by evil black qi can continue to recover after being consumed.

In fact, after they came up with this conjecture at first, they were more worried and even a little panicked.

Because if that's the case, then does it mean that their constant extermination of those mutated monsters is actually pointless?

In addition to constantly causing casualties and losses to the living forces on his own side, but there is no way to really reduce and weaken the army of mutant monsters on the other side?

Fortunately, they later found that it would take time to restore the destroyed mutant monsters in an area covered by evil black qi, and it would also cause great losses to their own evil black qi power.

Each time they restore the number of the army of mutant monsters, the area covered by themselves will shrink to a certain extent, and their overall concentration and strength will also decrease accordingly.

In this way, the worry and panic in Qiao Xiu's hearts dissipated a lot.

As long as these evil black qi of unknown origin also follow the great cosmic law of energy conservation, then they don't have to worry about the endless army of mutant monsters they spawn.

Since it is not endless, there is a possibility that it will be weakened, or even completely wiped out.

Of course, even so, the other party can use their own energy to constantly create new mutant monsters, which is not a small disturbance for them.

Because these evil black qi are not rootless trees and sourceless water, there is an incomparably powerful mastermind behind them, which will constantly replenish the power of the evil black qi through their connection with each other.

Even if this supplement is not unlimited, it is enough for Qiao Xiu to have a headache.

When the level of strength is insufficient, they can only restrict and suppress these evil black qi and prevent them from spreading unscrupulously, but if they want to completely eliminate it, they can't do it with their strength alone.

......

"I don't know ......"

After listening to Qiao Xiu's question, Liu Wei still shook his head as before and replied uncertainly.

"But I don't think they've launched a second attack overnight, so they shouldn't be in a hurry to attack now when it's a little light. The advantage of night cover is gone, so they should wait until the number of mutant monsters is completely restored or even surpassed before launching a second attack, otherwise the attack will only increase and fail when the strength is not enough to deal with us...... Although these ghosts do not have a normal form, it seems to me that they are not brainless beings who act only by instinct, on the contrary, they behave like individuals between advance and retreat, and they are sapient or intelligent......"

Immediately afterwards, he expressed his views and understanding of the matter.

"That's right, then it looks like these ghosts won't attack until dawn......"

After listening to Liu Wei's analysis, Qiao Xiu thought about it for himself, and felt that it made sense, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Huh, Liu Wei, look, those ghost things have moved...... No, they seem to be continuing to go backwards......"

Qiao Xiu had just finished the previous sentence, and with his super eyesight and spiritual sense, he quickly discovered the abnormal situation on the opposite side.

"yes, I saw it too, the was retreating...... Strange, what's going on, what the hell are they doing?"

There was no need for Qiao Xiu to remind him, Liu Wei also noticed this situation, and all kinds of thoughts flipped in his heart, but he couldn't figure it out.

"The retreated......"

"Are they scared?"

"I guess there's something going on inside them......"

"It's also possible that they received an order to retreat from behind......"

"Anyway, they've retreated, so we should be able to relax a bit......

......

Not only Qiao Xiu and Liu Wei, but also the extraordinary third-order masters of the other defense points on the city wall also saw this situation, and they all opened their mouths to discuss with their comrades-in-arms.

Call......

"Everyone, don't let your guard down for the time being...... Let me go and find out ......."

Just as everyone was discussing, Nie Yang suddenly flew into the air quickly, and then Qi Ju Dantian shouted loudly, signaling everyone not to relax their vigilance.

Shout......

Immediately after, he accelerated, and the whole person turned into a streamer and shot forward.

After listening to Nie Yang's shouting reminder and seeing that he had already gone to detect the situation, everyone on the city wall calmed down for the time being.

While they remained vigilant, they also kept a close eye on Nie Yang's distant figure, waiting for the follow-up development of things.

......

Shout......

About a few minutes later, Nie Yang flew back again quickly.

"Listen, everyone, those ghost things are retreating in full force for some reason, we can't relax at this time, pay attention to vigilance, there will be ...... fraud in the future"

Nie Yang, who came back, didn't get more useful information except that he saw that the evil black qi on the opposite side was carrying all the mutant monster army and was retreating away from them Licheng, so he didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and after coming back, he immediately told everyone to continue to maintain a high degree of vigilance, in case the other party was cheating.

"Got it, Lord Commander......"

Nie Yang's voice was very loud, spreading throughout the entire Dongcheng city wall, and into the ears of the thousands of extraordinary soldiers of the garrison on the city wall.

After they listened, they also responded in unison for the first time.

"Hmmm......"

Nie Yang, who received the response, chuckled his head in satisfaction, and then landed back down and returned to the city wall.

......

An hour later, it was past seven o'clock in the morning, and it was completely dawn.

And the army of evil black qi and mutant monsters on the opposite side has retreated continuously to dozens of kilometers away.

"It's strange that these things are really moving away from ...... Are they going to give up attacking Licheng and instead encroach on other places?"

Qiao Xiu and the others were still standing on the city wall at this time, but they were very puzzled by this.

"yes, that's weird...... Although I didn't think these ghosts just act on instinct, they have a certain amount of intelligence and finger intelligence, but I didn't expect them to be able to play such a show. I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in their gourds......"

Liu Wei looked ahead, and the evil black qi that had withdrawn dozens of kilometers away was gone, but it left a greater haze in his heart.

Shout......

"Attention, everybody...... The had exited thirty kilometers and stopped. We don't know why they retreated so far all of a sudden, but it's a rare respite for us...... After a sleepless night's vigilance, I believe that you are all tired and hungry by now, so I take this opportunity to allow you to go down and rest and have breakfast by the way...... Of course, even if these ghosts have retreated dozens of kilometers, we can't completely relax, so you need to go down in batches to rest and have breakfast, leave a batch here to guard, and wait until a batch is finished eating and resting and then come up to replace ......."

When the two were puzzled, Nie Yang went to investigate again.

After returning, he immediately told the news that the opposite side had stopped retreating, and then issued an order to let the transcendent warriors who had been guarding the city wall all night go down in batches to have breakfast and rest.

"Yes, Lord Archon......"

As the commander, Nie Yang still has a high prestige in the minds of the extraordinary warriors of the Dongcheng garrison. As soon as his words fell, the transcendent warriors on the city walls immediately responded in unison again. Then under the organization of each team leader, they quickly divided into two batches, one group according to Nie Yang just went down to rest and have breakfast first, and the remaining group continued to stay on guard for the time being.

......

"Brother Liu, Brother Qiao Xiu, why don't you go down and rest first, eat something......

After the notice was completed, Nie Yang did not leave immediately, but landed beside Liu Wei and Qiao Xiu and persuaded them.

"This ...... Brother Nie, I took turns guarding this with Qiao Xiu last night, taking turns to rest, and I'm still in good spirits, and my stomach isn't very hungry now, so I'll continue to stay here for a while......"

In the face of Nie Yang's kind persuasion, Liu Wei did not agree, but instead chose to stay here.

As for the reason, what he said was only one aspect, the most important thing was that he felt a little wrong in his heart, but for the time being, he couldn't say what was wrong.

Liu Wei's intuition has always been relatively accurate, so this inexplicable feeling made him faintly uneasy, so he decided to continue to stay here.

He stayed here, naturally, to guard against the army of evil black qi and mutant monsters that retreated to a distance of dozens of kilometers.

In fact, even if he couldn't figure out what the problem was with that inexplicable feeling, it was not difficult to think that it was most likely related to the sudden retreat of the evil black qi and the army of mutant monsters.

"That's it...... But that's embarrassing......"

After listening to Liu Wei's words, Nie Yang didn't know what he really thought in his heart, but his sense of responsibility was too strong, even if the army of evil black qi and mutant monsters had retreated so far, even if their crisis had been temporarily alleviated, he still refused to relax, and insisted on continuing to stay here, which was both moved and a little uneasy for a while.

It stands to reason that Liu Wei and the others are just outsiders who came to help them, and they are not part of Licheng, so it should be very good to be able to contribute, and there is no need to be so dedicated.

Comparing Liu Wei's choice and performance, it is no wonder that Nie Yang's mood is so complicated.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's just a while, it's not too late for us to go down with the second group of fighters......"

Liu Wei understood Nie Yang's thoughts and moods, but he still insisted on staying here.

"Yes, Commander Nie, I and the captain are not in a hurry for this time, so you can let us stay here......"

Qiao Xiu next to him also had a similar feeling to Liu Wei, so he expressed support for his choice and approach.

"Alright then, excuse me......

Seeing that the two insisted on this, Nie Yang had no choice but to give up persuasion.

He solemnly saluted the two of them with a fist before turning to leave.
