Chapter Seventy-Three: The Beast Tide Strikes

Ling Yifeng closed the window, he could hear their uneasiness from the waves of beast roars on the distant mountains, and there was a pungent smell in the wind!

His hut is the closest to the back mountain, if the beast tide comes, he will be more dangerous here! But he did not retreat, as a child of the Lingyuan Realm, he has the responsibility to stick to the front line.

Not long ago, Ling Yi summoned all the people in the clan who were above the late stage of the Spirit Wheel Realm to rush to the foot of the back mountain to assemble, but because Ling Yifeng was still too young, he didn't let him go to the front line!

He hadn't encountered this situation for decades, and Ling Yifeng had only heard Ling Cheng mention the beast tide before the earthquake more than fifty years ago, and the demonic beasts and beasts rushed into the city but didn't take the initiative to attack people, they just wanted to seek a shelter to hide. Therefore, after that disaster, most of the casualties were due to the earthquake and the houses were crushed by huge trees and boulders, but not many died because of demonic beasts, but these were only what Ling Cheng heard from his father.

But this time it seems to be different, the monsters have been gathering here for more than two days, and if they had a premonition of danger, they should have rushed down without hesitation.

But until now, although they had come to the edge of the city inhabited by humans, it was only some weak beasts that couldn't help but be afraid of the monsters and ran towards the Ling family at the bottom of the mountain!

By evening, the major forces of Luoyu City had already gathered men and horses to build fortifications on the mountain behind the Ling family, and they were ready to wait for the attack of the demonic beasts. In front of them, a wooden city wall about one zhang high and dozens of zhang long was erected, and facing the outside was a row of sharp giant thorns.

"What are we waiting here?" On the wooden city wall, Xu Su, the head of the Xu family, frowned slightly.

The rest of the people were tense and waited for the beast tide to attack, but the heads of several families also felt a little helpless!

"There's no way around it, we don't know when they'll attack, and if we wait for them to go out, it's definitely too late for us to assemble!" Ling Yi shook his head slightly.

"I'm afraid it's not a way for us to stay here all the time, can we kill them all?" said Han Jin, the head of the Han family.

"No, number one, we can't be sure if they're targeting us or not. Second, we don't know how many of them there are, so we can't rush into action. Thirdly, it is a good policy for us to take advantage of this wooden city wall here to wait for work!" Dean Zhong said in a deep voice.

In fact, in Zhong Yuanli's heart, there was still a terrible guess, these demonic beasts acted so synchronously, I was afraid that there were higher-level demonic beasts behind them. Being able to drive so many low-level demonic beasts, the one behind them should already be among the spirit beasts, and for these people, the spirit beasts are no longer an existence they can compete with!

"They've been gathering in the back mountain for a few days, and the food must have already run out, and if they do, I'm afraid they'll start before Ming Zao at the latest!

Behind them, hundreds of people were on standby, and for the first time in decades, several families had worked together for the same purpose!

The rain was pouring down, the sky was thundering, Ling Yifeng was recuperating in his hut, he had a faint premonition that there was a powerful force approaching them! He suddenly recalled the earth-shattering roar that came from the depths of the Demonic Beast Forest on the day Huo Aya disappeared, and its owner was probably a high-level spirit beast!

It was already night, and the wooden walls were lit with torches, and the light of the fire reflected the outline of the entire defensive line, like a flaming serpent. The rain had gradually subsided, and the lightning still swam like a silver snake in the dark clouds in the night sky, and the muffled thunder was roaring.

Everyone became more and more vigilant, because they noticed that on the mountain not far away, the commotion of the demonic beasts had become louder and louder.

Suddenly, Dean Zhong's half-squinted eyes opened suddenly, only to see that there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, as a powerhouse of the Divine Soul Realm, his perception was stronger than that of the others present, he seemed to have sensed something!

"Everyone get ready!" Zhong Yuanli's heavy voice echoed throughout the wooden city wall.

Soon, the others began to notice the movement in the distance.

"Archers, crossbowmen, prepare!"

Ling Ying raised the torch and waved his big hand, and the black-clothed man holding the longbow and crossbow arrows behind him immediately stretched out his bow and arrows, and his eyes were firmly locked on the bushes in front of him!

Soon, everyone could hear the heavy and chaotic sound of hooves rolling in, as if a rolling torrent was pouring down!

It's close, it's close, everyone can feel that the earth seems to be shaking faintly, and everyone can't help but hold their breath!

They had never seen such a powerful beast tide, and even Dean Zhong, who was in the Divine Soul Realm, couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine!

"Whew!"

A long arrow flew out like a bolt of lightning, and the iron arrow cluster flashed through the head of the first patterned cheetah that jumped out of the bushes, and the great force repelled it, but before it could hit the ground, it was swallowed up by the hordes of beasts!

Ling Yuan drew a long arrow again and put it on the bowstring, shouting, "Release the arrow!"

His first arrow was the signal, and when he fired the first arrow, a rain of arrows followed it!

"Roar!"

The roars of the chaotic beasts were overwhelming, but when they had barely gone far out of the woods, they were kissed by at least three arrows.

Huge beast roars, chaotic hooves, and screaming arrows echoed through the silent night sky.

"These are just ordinary beasts, but there is not a single demonic beast to be seen!" said Liu Jingshan, the head of the Liu family, with a slight frown.

If it's just an ordinary tide of beasts and beasts, they have more than enough people here, and they are gathered here to deal with those terrible beasts!

"Demonic beasts are not all simple-minded!" Dean Zhong said in a solemn voice: "I sensed that in the dense forest, there are no less than a hundred spiritual power fluctuations, that is to say, in the forest behind them, there are at least hundreds of demonic beasts lurking......!

Dean Zhong stopped talking, what he was afraid of was not groundless, it stands to reason that these demonic beasts should not have such a high level of spiritual intelligence to drive other beasts to explore the way, behind them, I am afraid that there is really something more intelligent to control them!

Zhong Yuanli didn't say anything, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and set his eyes on the mountains in the distance!
