Chapter 312: The Breached Fortress
"This ...... What's going on?"
When they saw the scene in the door, the three of them looked horrified, completely unaware of what had happened.
Ye Li carefully felt the inside of the fortress, there seemed to be no movement inside, and after making sure that there was no danger, Ye Li used his body to lean against the giant gate and pushed it hard.
If he wants to open these two giant gates, he needs to use a winch to control them in the city, but under Ye Li's huge force, he has already opened some doors, and he slowly pushed them open.
The scene in the door was clearly presented in front of the three of them, and the entire inside of the fortress was full of monsters and human corpses.
"Could it be that this monster plague actually broke through the fortress, and the people here either died or all fled?"
Huang Jian looked puzzled, looked at the scene inside the fortress, and said with a puzzled expression.
The three of them stood in the door and watched for a while, then turned back and led their horses into the fortress, wanting to take a closer look at the situation inside the fortress.
Walking into the fortress, a very tragic battlefield was presented in front of them, a huge number of demon beast corpses, scattered everywhere, along with these demon beasts, there are also a lot of human corpses, looking at the clothes embroidered with the word "emperor".
Obviously, the people who died here were the guards of the Imperial City.
There was a dead silence in the entire fortress now, and if it weren't for the fact that the number of corpses here was much smaller than the number of guards Huang Jian knew, they would have come to the conclusion that the guards in the fortress were all wiped out.
Ye Li and the three of them walked around the fortress, and found that there was really no living person here, and in a huge fortress, except for the horses in the stable, there was not half of the others.
Obviously, both the demon beasts and the guards left here after leaving behind a large number of corpses.
According to the situation at the scene, the three guessed that it should be that the guards could not resist the attack of the demon beasts, and the fortress was directly breached.
After a period of fighting, the guards decided that they could not hold the fort and evacuated en masse.
Ye Li and the three of them checked around and found that there were four gates around the fortress, only the north and east gates were completely open, the west gate was completely closed, and the south gate was where they entered, which was slightly hidden.
It seems that the north side is where the monsters invaded, and the east gate is where the guards chose to evacuate.
As for why they didn't choose the south gate to leave, according to the inspection of the scene, the three of them estimated that it was because the entire fortress was surrounded.
When the guards chose to break through, they could only choose the weaker side of the demon beast to attack, so they chose the east side.
Looking at the many human and demon beast corpses left on the road out of the city on the east side, the three of them came to this conclusion in their hearts.
"Brother Huang, what should we do next, this place will be attacked by demon beasts, what is the scale of this beast tide?
Do we choose to go back to the Imperial City's strongholds in the counties and counties to report now, or try to check the situation nearby?"
Mu Tianzhi frowned and asked Huang Jian, after all, he thought that Huang Jian might know the situation here best.
However, Huang Jian shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't know what the situation is now, and what we should do."
I have always listened to the old disciples about the situation here, but this situation has never happened. ”
After observing for a while, Ye Li said, "The corpse here still looks fresh, and the time of death will not exceed a day, I think we should still take a look around, maybe we can find something."
How about we get back to the door after we've checked the situation a little bit?"
After hearing Ye Li's words, the other two thought about it and then nodded.
Huang Jian said: "Ye Li is right, let's check the situation in the neighborhood first, and then make a decision."
The horses here don't seem to be vulnerable to monsters, so we'll leave the horses here and go out through the east gate to see if the guards have left any clues. ”
After making their decision, the three of them left their horses in the fortress, after all, if they encountered monsters along the way, their horses would probably not be able to run due to weak legs, which would put them in danger.
Then, the three of them left the fortress through the gate on the east side and drilled into the nearby mountain forest, the traces of battle on the ground and around it, as well as the corpses of demon beasts left from time to time, guiding their direction.
The three of them followed the trail for about half an hour, and suddenly in the jungle next to them, seven or eight huge demon beasts suddenly rushed out of the ground and attacked the three of them.
The three of them were startled, and they could only dodge in shock, they didn't expect that there would be demon beasts ambushing in advance on the road here.
The seven or eight demon beasts that came out of the ground were all demon beasts that were good at drilling holes and hiding, and all of them were in the early stage of the séance.
But what's very strange is that these demon beasts are obviously different species, and some of them are even hostile species on weekdays, but they are all living together in harmony at this time.
Ye Li immediately thought of the beast tide they had suffered before, countless demon beasts mixed together and launched an attack on the human race.
However, under the circumstances at that time, the demon beasts that Ye Li encountered seemed to be artificially controlled, and their eyes were secretly red light, which looked very abnormal.
And now the seven or eight demon beasts encountered here look very normal, there is nothing special, and there is no red light hidden in their eyes, and they don't even look like they are being controlled.
The moment the three of them saw the attack of the demon beast, they all dodged in unison, they were not sure of facing so many demon beast attacks at the same time.
"Let's flee first, although these demon beasts are all cultivators in the early stage of the séance, but there are quite a few of them, and the end of us being surrounded will not be too good. ”
Ye Li proposed.
Huang Jian and Mu Tianzhi naturally did not object, and the three of them hurriedly released the spell to cover themselves, and at the same time drilled into the forest next to them.
Huang Jian looked at the demon beast behind him, and the expression on his face was full of doubt.
"It's strange how these different species, and even some of them are still hostile, can mix with each other and ambush us here.
Although it is a beast tide, there are high-level demon beasts pressing the formation, and they will not have the chaos of fighting each other, but it is impossible to ambush us here.
After all, without the high-level demon beast suppression array and command, these different types of demon beasts in the early stage of the séance period would not know how to cooperate with each other. ”
After all, Huang Jian is always hunting, and he still knows a lot about the habits of demon beasts.
