"According to the map, Maple Leaf City should be in this direction, right?"

Yao Chu looked at the only map in his hand and thought to himself.

Without Konishi to guide him, Yao Chu was now scurrying around the forest like a headless fly.

Suddenly, Yao Chu on the tree seemed to see a little bit of house construction with his amazing eyesight.

"Anyone?"

Yao Chu jumped off the giant tree and walked towards the place where there was a house with excited steps.

Urgency dominated Yao Chu, but when he got there, he found that it was not just a little bit of architecture, but a large area of buildings!

However, it is not all tall and magnificent buildings, a large number of small houses appear here, as if they were specially built for many people to live in, and these small buildings make Yao Chu feel a little familiar.

In addition, the houses in the center are built to be unusually tall, as if the occupants are deliberately isolated from other people. This is also the building that Yao Chu saw from afar.

Yao Chu frowned, flipped through the entire area, and finally found one word in the several tall buildings in the center: Ye!

Sure enough, when Yao Chu saw these small houses, he thought of the rooms he saw in the Ye family that were specially built for spirit slaves, almost the same size, the same shape, and maybe even built by the same people.

Outside the city, it's quite close to Tianhe...

Well... Yao Chu remembered the rumor he heard in the city again, saying that one of the spirit stone mines of the Ye City Lord had been occupied by powerful spirit beasts, and many attacks had no effect.

Is this the place? But I didn't see any spirit beasts?

Yao Chu followed the building several times, and finally found several huge hollows not far from the building, and the deep caves reminded Yao Chu of his experience in the Tianhe again, and he couldn't help but shudder.

The previous recklessness has not recovered even now!

But it shouldn't be that dangerous here, right?

Yao Chu didn't even feel any spirit beasts and other dangers even when he allowed his spiritual sense to extend, maybe the spirit beasts here had already left...

Therefore, Yao Chu was very greedy for the ore here, which was the kind of ore that could be used to make spirit stones, of course, if there were spirit stones, he would not mind taking them into his pocket.

He had seen the description of this kind of ore in the old dragon forging technique: white stone mines, the associated mines of spirit stones, often appear in large numbers around spirit stone mines, in fact, to put it bluntly, they are spirit stones that have not yet been formed, as long as they are precipitated for a lot of time, they can become real spirit stones. As for why it is called white stone, it is because there is nothing in these ores, and one is poor and two white...

They are often used to make special items, which can be priceless or worthless, and their value comes from the skill of the smith himself.

The forging technique even lists some forging methods for special items related to white stone, but unfortunately there are no other materials, and Yao Chu will not...

However, as long as it is the material for the manufacture of spirit stones, in Yao Chu's eyes, he is an extremely precious thing!

Yao Chu held the warm little King Kong and warmed his hand temporarily, and boldly walked down the dark cave.

Although it was dark, Yao Chu still saw the scene in the cave as clearly as day with his spiritual sense.

The walls of the cave are covered with dense traces of human excavation, and there are still pits all around it from time to time.

The further you go, the more sloppy the excavation marks become, and large piles of clods of earth have not been cleared on the ground, and some iron ore appears here and there. Yao Chu saw the most common black iron ore, red iron ore and so on in it.

And in Yao Chu's perception, the further he went, the density of the aura became larger and larger, like the density of the aura in the Tianhe, but there was a comfortable feeling of aura entering the body between breaths.

But there is no density of spirit beasts like in Tianhe, but it is very quiet, there are no other spirit beasts infested, only a few huge insects occasionally appear, which are solved by Yao Chu.

"Something seems wrong. If the spirit beasts that were here before are gone, won't there be any other spirit beasts to occupy this place?" Yao Chu muttered to himself in confusion, "It seems that there aren't many spirit beasts encountered on the way here?"

"Where did they go?"

He frowned and thought about it, but he still didn't have the slightest clue.

"Forget it, let's find out if there's anything good first..."

Yao Chu sped up and rushed into the bottom of the cave, where there were still a large number of mounds of earth and iron ore, some digging tools, and some white stone ore that Yao Chu was familiar with, and even a few pieces of spirit stones with white flowers were inlaid on the wall and were not taken down.

The worst thing is that there are still a few corpses on the ground, which have become white bones, and there is an indescribable smell that fills the place.

Yao Chu covered his mouth and nose and thought, this must be a spirit beast breaking in, everyone fled in panic, and a few unlucky people died here.

He forcibly resisted his stomach and collected some of the white stone mines needed here, and quickly left here.

The main thing is that the smell is really unbearable.

However, Yao Chu made a more valuable discovery this time, and found a piece of ground on the ground, which was specially drawn by the Ye family, which was much more accurate than the map in Yao Chu's hand, and specially marked the route from the mine to Maple Leaf City, and the markers in the middle were extremely detailed.

"Hehe, it seems that the Ye family has done me a great favor!"

Yao Chu followed the route marked on the map towards Maple Leaf City.

......

Yao's family.

"Family Master, this is the third time that City Lord Ye has come!" the housekeeper reported to Yao Fengxiong, his face full of hesitation, "Family Master, Maple Leaf City really can't be broken!"

Yao Fengxiong paced, walking around, never stopping.

"I know it too!" Finally, he sighed and stopped, "Okay, tell Ye Changqing that my Yao family will join the city defense!"

"Yes!" the butler finally breathed a sigh of relief and stepped back to deliver the news.

Yao Fengxiong fell into memory, and this matter has to start with the mysterious giant bird that day...

The mysterious giant bird seemed to have searched for Maple Leaf City, but it didn't find what it wanted and left quickly, but his destruction of Maple Leaf City was extremely serious, especially for the city walls!

The city walls, which have experienced many great battles, have been inadvertently destroyed by giant birds, and many of them are full of cracks that need to be repaired on a large scale, although the amount of work is large, but it is not impossible to complete.

But at this time, the deterrent power of the giant bird completely activated the mania of all kinds of spirit beasts in the wild forest, and the wild wilderness, which was already on the verge of the outbreak of the beast tide, broke out in advance this time!

A large number of spirit beasts poured out of the forest and rushed straight towards the already ruined Maple Leaf City.

This frightened the people of Maple Leaf City.

In the past, the outbreak of the beast tide had a precursor, and the people in Maple Leaf City would prepare some means in advance to deal with the impact of the beast tide.

But not only was he not ready this time, but even the city wall was destroyed by the giant birds, and the city lord was very distressed.

It's only been a few years since he was transferred, and he hasn't served the public, so if even the city is broken now, then he, the city lord, really doesn't want to be a city lord!

So he came forward to reconcile the contradictions of various families, especially the Yao family and the Ling family, hoping that they would put the overall situation first, let Maple Leaf City escape first, and then talk about personal grievances.

Although the various families hope to let the city lord Ye step down and vacate the position of the city lord. But in the face of the ferocious beast tide, they are all grasshoppers on a rope, if the city is broken, they can't escape the attack of the beast tide, they will definitely die in it, so it is inevitable that they will participate in the defense of the city wall! And the many visits of the Ye city lord are only to build a ladder for them, so that several family masters can step down, and feel a little better, at least on the surface, they will agree on the will to fight against the beast tide.

In order for the major families to be able to achieve their wishes, the Ye City Lord took great pains to send them many treasures, which could be regarded as making up for their losses in advance.

Although the Ye City Lord's family has a great business, and he has earned a lot of spirit stones by relying on the spirit stone mine and the spirit slave, he is also in pain. There is no way, in order to stabilize the identity of the city lord, these sacrifices are necessary!

By the time Yao Fengxiong arrived at the edge of the city wall, there were already three people waiting here.

One of them was Ye Changqing, the lord of Ye City, who gathered them here to dominate the people. The person who was just staring at Yao Fengxiong on the side was none other than Ling Mad, the head of the Ling family, although he really wanted to kill Yao Fengxiong here, but the other two would definitely stop it, so he simply snorted coldly and turned his head. The last person is the most low-key head of the Chu family, and the rest of the people almost don't know the rest of his information, only one name, Chu Wei.

Chu Wei was dressed in a black robe, and no one knew his face under the black robe, but when Yao Fengxiong's eyes made contact with him, he even nodded to Yao Fengxiong.

And Yao Fengxiong was a little surprised, he basically didn't have any intersection with Chu Wei, why did he greet him?

But Yao Fengxiong didn't care more, because his mind was already drawn to the scene outside the city.

The dense spirit beasts that were almost far from the end gathered hundreds of zhang away from the city wall, surrounding the entire city wall.

Whether it is a common spirit beast, or a rare spirit beast, a number of spirit beasts, never-before-seen spirit beasts are all here!

"The most important problem this time is that there are cracks in the city wall, they may come in along the cracks, and the worst consequence is that the city wall is torn down, in this case, we really can't stop the impact of the spirit beast!"

"Even though they have sent a plea for help to the other cities, it may take them three days to get here!"

Ye Changqing said to the three of them with a solemn face. In the face of this terrifying beast tide, he had no choice but to gather the power of the four major families.

"So we'll have to hold out under the beast tide for at least three days!"

Yao Fengxiong and Ling Mad both showed worried expressions on their faces, and Chu Wei couldn't see his face clearly in the black robe on his head.

"That's why I stopped you, if you still have to fight among yourself at this time, there is really no hope for Maple Leaf City!"

Yao Fengxiong and Ling Mad glanced at each other, and with a cold snort, they both turned their eyes away.

Although the contradictions between them are almost irreconcilable, they all tacitly choose to turn a blind eye in the face of a life-and-death crisis. This moment is not only a duel between them, but also a moment of life and death between the two families, if it is a fight between the two families, they may not retreat by half a point, but if it is because of the confrontation but is attacked by the spirit beast and causes the group to be wiped out, then it is really aggrieved!

Therefore, they could only suppress their hatred and vent their anger on the spirit beasts that might attack the city wall at any time.

The imminent movement of the spirit beast herd meant that time was running out for them to launch a general attack.
