Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Griffin
In the wilderness, it was autumn, and a large number of withered yellow leaves fell from the trees, slowly falling to the spirit beasts under the trees.
The spirit beasts moved quickly and almost silently, regardless of whether it was a hostile spirit beast or delicious food in front of them, they did not make any movement, just moved forward on their own.
These spirit beasts spontaneously roam out of the depths of the wilderness, this is a purposeful migration!
And the purpose is a human city thousands of miles away!
The beast tide that has lasted for countless years has only attacked the city where humans have gathered without any purpose.
Spirit beasts came out of the wilderness, and they were even divided into several parts under the action of a certain force, attacking different human cities respectively, no matter how many of them were, they would always divide into batches of spirit beasts to attack each city close to the wilderness.
Not to kill the Terrans, but to kill the Terrans.
And above their heads, a large shadow was cast, and at the exit of the wild forest, they parted ways, and after a part of the shadow hovered for a while, they followed the group of spirit beasts below them to the direction of Maple Leaf City.
......
Yao Chu always had a premonition of restlessness, always feeling that something was going to happen, but he was at a loss.
After thinking about it for a long time, Yao Chu finally decided to do something.
He silently came to Ye Changqing's face, his lips moved slightly, and he said something.
Ye Changqing looked surprised, nodded after a moment of silence, took a deep look at Yao Chu, and took out some things for him.
Under the imminent unknown premonition, Yao Chu also made some preparations.
Under the city walls, a large number of warriors hired by the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion were busy in full swing, some were responsible for taking down the materials on the spirit beasts, some were responsible for transporting them to the city, and some were responsible for burning all the remaining useless materials and turning them into ashes.
And in this busy crowd, a figure flickered in it, looking here and there, meditating in place from time to time, still gesturing inexplicably in the air with his hands.
Seeing it from afar, the wind steward came over helplessly and persuaded him: "Young Master Yao, do you have any problems, do you need me to find someone to help?"
Yao Chu refused with a haha: "No need, I'll just go shopping, just leave me alone." ”
The wind manager could only smile bitterly and find someone to observe the movements of the spirit beast at any time, not that he had to care about Yao Chu's behavior, but at this time, the lives of all the people under the city wall were in the hands of Yao Chu alone, and as long as the slightest mistake was made, it would cause serious consequences.
Time passed quickly, and the spirit beasts were still accurately divided by Yao Chu in batches, without any mistakes that caused problems, and the wind management finally relaxed and let Yao Chu wander around the scene.
Just as everyone was basking in joy, large shadows fell from the sky, carrying a strong wind and obscuring the scorching sun.
"That's... Is that... Griffin!!"
A panic visible to the naked eye appeared on everyone's faces, and then spread!
"It's a griffon!"
"The griffon is coming!"
"Impossible! How could a griffon be here!"
"Are they part of the beast tide too?!"
"It's not helped! Maple Leaf City is not saved!"
Countless crowds began to scatter and flee, whether they were ordinary people or warriors, with desperate expressions on their faces.
The shadow on his head revealed his true face in the dazzling light, and it was a hideous and ferocious beast!
The upper body is in the shape of a lion tiger, with sharp claws flaring, a pair of bird wings on the back, several zhang in size, and the lower body is two extremely long leg claws, the sharp claws are extraordinarily slender, as if to facilitate tearing the prey, and there is even a wobbling tail, the top is a scorpion-like tail hook, like a poisonous snake waiting for the opportunity.
Naturally, there is more than one spirit beast that seems to be patched together, covering the entire sky in large areas!
"Roar!"
They certainly wouldn't let these Terrans escape, and after a short, high-pitched cry, they swooped down like real falcons, spreading panic throughout the area!
"Ordinary people immediately hide in the building! All the warriors are concentrated on the city wall, hurry!"
Ye Changqing, whose face was extremely ugly, immediately gave an order, and the spiritual power transmitted the sound to every corner of Maple Leaf City, but fortunately, most of the residents were still more convinced of the Ye City Lord, and subconsciously obeyed the City Lord's orders.
But the griffon's speed was faster, and the warriors who didn't have time to dodge were not much different from the griffin's claws, and they were shattered into a rain of blood.
"Ye Ding, lead someone to take out the weapons in the warehouse!" Ye Changqing roared hard, and his aura swayed into the sky like no money.
But the effect is not very big, the griffin can flexibly dodge most of the aura attacks in the air, and the aura attacks that Ye Changqing casually played can have very little effect!
Even if they were able to hit a few of them, their heavy armor-like feathers would not die instantly, they would fall to the ground, and they would continue to attack desperately until they were actually killed.
And that's a drop in the bucket for an almost overwhelming number!
"Damn! why are they here!"
This kind of spirit beast is absolutely difficult to see in the wild area close to Maple Leaf City, and even many people have never had the opportunity to see it in their lifetime, so most of them should not know it!
But there is an exception to the fact that once upon a time there was a sensational event - the griffon slaughtered the city!
Countless griffons attacked the city, causing the entire city to be destroyed!
That kind of infinite griffon attack has only happened once, but just one time is enough to make countless people remember their ferocity and blood!
This is a legend that circulates in every city that has been attacked by the beast tide!
The image of that hideous and crazy spirit beast is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the function of stopping children's night cries is definitely a consensus!
That's why it can be recognized by everyone at the first time, and the panic can spread so quickly!
Since then, I have hardly heard of the griffons slaughtering the city, and at most I have seen a few individual griffons, but they are no small threat.
However, today, Ye Changqing and the residents of the entire Maple Leaf City finally saw a large number of griffons again, and they may appear with this group of griffons again in the story of a certain city to stop crying to children, of course, this is not something to be thankful about.
The griffon's claws had already stretched out towards the fleeing crowd, and even if Ye Changqing and the martial artists around him were attacking, it would be difficult to resist such a large number of griffins!
"Smack"
A piece of flesh and blood fell in front of Ye Changqing, making his already gloomy face even more like it could drip water.
This is the body of a warrior!
He was caught in the air by the griffin, torn in half by its two claws, and thrown off.
Blood even splashed on Ye Changqing's face!
The spirit beasts in the beast tide are not attacking the human race for the sake of eating, but for some reason that the human race does not know.
A large number of Terrans were caught in the sky by griffins, all of them were torn apart, and turned into a rain of blood!
This is a massacre!
"How could they appear again?Or do they appear here?" could it be...," Ye Changqing thought with a blue face, "Could it be that the giant bird attracted it?!"
"City Lord, the things are here!"
While evading the griffon's attack, Ye Ding pushed a huge chariot-like vehicle. Above is a complex structure of various devices, and at the foremost is a huge black and shiny arrowhead, on which are carved intricate inscriptions, shining in the sun, and behind it is a string made of the sinew bones of a stout unknown spirit animal.
This is actually a giant bow and arrow that moves! It is a weapon recreated by the human race through a large number of inscriptions and forging techniques, using extremely precious materials, and they are extremely scarce in the border cities, they are called the Spirit Bow Table!
Although some flying spirit beasts will appear in Maple Leaf City every time there is a beast tide, this is a remote border area after all, the number of flying spirit beasts is very small, and the strength is generally low, so it is extremely easy to deal with. However, in those hard-hit areas of the beast tide, it is said that there are usually thousands of spirit bow platforms in reserve, which are specially used to attack flying spirit beasts.
There is only one spiritual bow platform here, which was applied for by Ye Changqing and the Imperial City through some special channels.
"Shoot me!" Ye Changqing roared and ordered.
Ye Ding and several martial artists around him immediately began to operate this complex device, and it took a full quarter of an hour to complete the entire process with the cooperation of multiple people.
"City Lord!" Ye Ding slashed back from a griffon's attack with a sword, and shouted at Ye Changqing, signaling that he was ready.
The long sword in Ye Changqing's hand never stopped, and in a quarter of an hour, it was enough to destroy more than a dozen griffons that had swooped down, blood dripped down the sword body, and the white clothes on his body were no longer tidy.
"Shoot!"
He roared, and did not stop the movement of the sword in his hand, sword after sword, and a large number of griffons died in his hands, but for the griffins that were almost all over Maple Leaf City, it was almost a drop in the bucket.
"Whoosh!"
As Ye Ding let loose his hand, a sharp and short voice exploded, and a thick streamer shot out from below Maple Leaf City, like a thick pillar of light, the black pillar of light seemed to swallow a large area of light, and the darkness appeared briefly in the space, and then disappeared.
The light returned, and the griffons disappeared into the darkness, and the whole space seemed to be cleaned by a brush, and the griffons disappeared in the darkness of half of the sky!
This attack is similar to the Crocodile King's mouth cannon attack!
"Everyone, don't be afraid! There are not many griffins! There is nothing to be afraid of! All the warriors are gathered!"
Ye Changqing's voice echoed throughout the city, and finally, the counterattack of the terrifying spirit bow platform made many warriors regain their confidence, and these griffins didn't seem to be as terrifying as the legend?
That black aura attack wiped out half of the griffons in one fell swoop, and if you did it again, you could completely wipe it out!
"The city lord is mighty!"
Finally, a warrior came to his senses from the horror of the legend and fought back against the griffon, entangled in it, and although it was still difficult to kill it, it was at least much better than the previous inability to resist.
