The struggle between people depends on who survives last, and the war between camps depends on which side survives more in the end.

The rain kept falling, and the bloody battles were intermittent, but they never really subsided.

On the first city wall, now only the top rangers remain, and the knights and low-level rangers who cannot protect themselves in the beast herd are either dead or withdrawn to the inner city wall.

Zhu Tianpeng was still standing on the first city wall, looking at the group of phantom beasts that were preparing to attack the city again, silent.

Lao Zhu's group of subordinates, when they finally evacuated, there were only fourteen living knights, and a few died in the mouths of the phantom beasts.

After nearly a month of fighting, he had become accustomed to this kind of bloody battlefield, and even if he was besieged by hundreds of mutant phantom beasts, he could not be moved.

There were less than half of the beasts in the jungle, and those that had vanished had been trampled to pulp or burned to ashes.

It is said that the remnants of these battle formations are the best fertilizer for cultivating Linggu, and will eventually be collected by the people of the Eighth Ring City and sprinkled into the farms in Dongcheng.

The top tour general who stayed on the first city wall had good benefits, and the rear also sent rice cooked with Ling Rice, delicious dishes, even on the bloody and pungent beast corpse pile, everyone ate very sweetly.

The number of defenders of the city has decreased, and the scope of defense for each person has expanded considerably. It would be almost impossible to stop all the beasts from passing through the first wall. Therefore, the task of the top rangers is to intercept all the mutant phantom beasts and let the ordinary phantom beasts rush into the open space between the two city walls. Of course, when ordinary phantom beasts see the top swimmers, most of them want to come up and take a bite, but it is just a matter of the next move.

The Ruyi battle armor had already been dyed purple and black, and Lao Zhu was too lazy to expend his strength to shake off the dry blood clots on it. The Seven Star Snatch in his hand was still crystal clear, without the slightest trace of blood.

The walls of the city were already covered with the corpses of ghostly beasts, and there was no place to put their feet. Lao Zhu could only stand on the battlements, like a scarecrow, letting the cold rain fall, watching the city wall.

In this bloody battle that ended recently, Lao Zhu comprehended the true meaning of martial arts.

At that time, his true yuan had been exhausted, his divine sense had dried up, and even his muscles had begun to swell after repeated hard battles, but there were still endless phantom beasts around him, and more than a dozen mutant beasts were frantically attacking him.

The feeling of being pounced on by mutant beasts at any time made Lao Zhu worry and longed to slaughter all the phantom beasts at once. A mysterious feeling suddenly came, all the phantom beasts within a zhang of Lao Zhu's side were in his mental sense, and the seven-star spear moved with it, drawing a complex attack route, slaughtering the phantom beasts in an instant, and there was no intention of missing it.

During the whole process, Lao Zhu didn't use his divine sense, he didn't urge the true element in his body, and he didn't care what moves he used, when he thought about it, the seven-star spear in his hand moved spontaneously, and destroyed all the phantom beasts within a zhang range with one move. Instead of crushing the phantom beasts into minced meat, they killed the phantom beasts one by one in turn, as if those phantom beasts automatically crashed into the three-edged spear blade and sent them to death.

Not only that, every time you swing the seven-star gun, you don't need to deliberately observe, you can know the key point of the ghostly beast, just like an automatic radar is placed on the head of the three-edged gun, no matter how the ghostly beast dodges, it can't avoid the attack of the seven-star gun, even if the mutant beast is killed with one hit.

After comprehending the true meaning of martial arts, the attack of the seven-star spear was even more powerful, and Zhu Tianpeng consumed less energy.

"Liu Rudao, did you make a breakthrough just now?"

Lao Zhu turned his head and saw a man with a tomahawk standing on the battlements ten zhang away, wearing a tight leather armor that showed off his burly figure.

Although they have never communicated, after all, the sections of the city wall in charge are connected, and Lao Zhu can be regarded as having been with him for more than half a month and is familiar with each other. Before, the two were surrounded by chivalrous warriors, and they didn't have the opportunity to face each other alone.

"Hmm!"

Regarding Zhu Tianpeng's indifferent attitude, the man seemed to have expected it, and said with a smile: "You guy! I heard that when the water season came, you were stabbed in the chest by a whirlwind knife? After such a life and death, why hasn't your temperament changed? Anyway, we used to hunt together, so you sent me away with one word?"

Lao Zhu was speechless, and wanted to reply "Who are you", but now he is pretending to be Liu Rudao, and he can't show his stuffing, so he has to smile and nod at the other party.

"Haha, should I feel honored that the cold-faced iron spear Liu Rudao actually smiled at me?" the burly man smiled heartily.

Having just experienced a battle of life and death, and having just realized the true meaning of martial arts, Lao Zhu relaxed his vigilance in his heart, and even forgot that he was pretending to be a withdrawn Liu Rudao, who was a cold-faced person with a straight face even in the face of friendliness, how could he laugh?

Without waiting for Lao Zhu to remedy, the conversation between the two naturally stopped, because the phantom beast rushed up towards the city wall again.

"Kill!"

The seven-star spear was like a long line of beads, and the three-edged blade in front of it took turns to cut through the neck of the phantom beast, and finally pierced the neck of a mutant beast.

With one blow, the tip of the spear left the neck of the mutant beast, and the three-edged blade drew a blood-colored wavy line in the second group of phantom beasts that rushed up, and as far as the blood line reached, the phantom beasts fell to the ground one after another, and Lao Zhu's surroundings were emptied again.

Every time the Seven Star Spear drew an irregular three-dimensional line segment, a large number of phantom beasts died, and no phantom beasts could touch the corners and hairends of Zhu Tianpeng's clothes again.

Time passed, the holy sun rose into the sky, and the bloody battle on the walls continued.

When the sun fell, the onslaught of the phantom beasts became even more frenzied, and even the mutant beast king joined the siege torrent.

A mutant phantom tiger avoided Lao Zhu Sanzhang far away, and wanted to rush through the city wall, but was detected by Lao Zhu's divine sense, his right foot was a little on the head of an ordinary phantom beast, and the seven-star spear immediately passed through the neck of the three-headed phantom beast, stabbed the mutant tiger's waist ribs, and threw it off the city wall.

At this moment, a whampin the size of a wolf suddenly appeared behind Lao Zhu, and its long sharp claws slashed at the back of his neck.

The seven-star gun reacted in time, and the tip of the gun was inserted into the chest and abdomen of the giant whammy, and then, but it did not hit the target. This is the first time that Zhu Tianpeng has missed after comprehending the true meaning of martial arts.

The giant gopher was not only a mutant beast, but also a rat king, and its claws actually opened the seven-star spear and bit Lao Zhu's neck again.

Lao Zhu lifted the seven-star spear up, and the barrel of the spear blocked the hideous rat head, and the tip of the three-edged spear stabbed forward and hit the Rodent King. Unexpectedly, the rat king missed two blows, and when he was hit by the gun, he saw the machine kicking his leg on the gun and jumped out of the city wall.

Hey, instead of rushing into the city, the Rodent King fled back into the jungle?

The seven-star spear in his hand drew irregular blood lines without pause, and Lao Zhu still had the heart to sigh at the wit of the gopher king.

Since there is a mutant beast king attacking this section of the city wall, what about the other city walls? Lao Zhu looked at the nearby defense area and found that the burly man who called himself "East Fence" had actually been bitten on the calf by a phantom wolf!

The defense area of the two is approaching, and they have been fighting against the phantom beast together for more than half a month, Lao Zhu has some understanding of the burly man's cultivation, and knows that he has already comprehended the true meaning of martial arts, not only has he killed more phantom beasts than others, but he has never been injured, how could he be bitten by a phantom wolf this time?

Not only was he bitten by a wolf, but the tomahawk in his hand also slowly stopped, and the whole person stopped.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Lao Zhu quickly rushed over and stabbed to death a mutant rat that pounced on the burly man's throat, and the three-edged spear head drew a blood line around him, and then inserted it into the head of the leg-biting wolf, shaking it into flesh foam.

Maybe it was because he knew that the burly man had changed and was defenseless, and it was a good time to kill him, and the second batch pounced, and it turned out to be all mutant beasts. This time, Lao Zhu's seven-star spear failed to kill all of them with one hit, and two mutant beasts changed the direction of the wind and continued to pounce.

Lao Zhu kicked out two kicks to kill the two mutant beasts.

When Zhu Tianpeng was busy, a team of tour generals used rattan ropes to come from the inner city wall and encircle the burly man in the center to protect him. The leader of the team turned out to be the hall master of the Demon Suppression Palace!

"Liu Rudao, go back to your place, leave it to us here!"

Ten high-level rangers, plus a chivalrous king, the burly man is safe enough.

Lao Zhu nodded, returned to his defense area, and continued to slash and kill the phantom beasts that rushed to the city wall.

When the phantom beast stopped attacking the city, the burly man was taken away by the hall master of the Demon Suppression Palace, returned to the inner city wall, and replaced the burly man with another top general.

Zhu Tianpeng held on to the city wall for another ten days, and the phantom beasts were ordered by a desolate beast roar to withdraw from the city wall and return to the jungle, where they soon disappeared into the depths of the jungle.

The water season is not over yet, the cold rain is falling one after another, but the entire Eighth Ring City is sounding earth-shattering cheers.

"We've won!"

"Those abominable phantoms have retreated, long live the rangers!"

"Vulcan, we've won!"

"The eternal flame illuminates the world, and the clear light and heat warms people's hearts......"

Others sang aloud, a hymn to the fire,

The elation of the people was beyond words, and after they had vented their mouths, they all sang praises, and the songs of more than 100,000 people resounded through the heavens and the earth, awakening hope even in dark and lightless places.

"The unquenchable flame illuminates the world, the pure light and heat warms people's hearts, the beasts tremble in the jungle, and the devil terrorizes in the darkness......"

In the chorus, the top generals stationed at the first wall retreated to the inner wall.

"Our hero is back!"

"Hero!

The top travelers were surrounded by enthusiastic people, and others were thrown high into the air. As soon as Lao Zhu stepped on the inner city wall, he was supported by Mo Cheng and several knights and thrown into the air.

After throwing several times in a row, they stopped, but continued to hold Zhu Tianpeng, went down the inner city wall, and walked towards the Demon Suppression Palace. When he arrived at the Demon Suppression Palace, Mo Cheng and a few knights put down Zhu Tianpeng and handed it over to the maids of the Demon Suppression Palace.

A small group of handsome maids with beautiful faces and bumpy bodies led Zhu Tianpeng to a bathroom. There was a huge sink in the bathroom, and the water in the sink was clear and hot.

"Hero, I'll wait for you to bathe, okay?" asked a beautiful maid in front of her, with two big eyes and a red face.

Looking at the posture, the beautiful maid wants to recommend herself to the pillow seat!

"No, I'll wash it myself!" Lao Zhu hurriedly refused.

Although the beautiful maid was disappointed and her face was gloomy, she still smiled and said, "Then, please choose a sister for you to bathe! ”

Ten beautiful girls stand in a row, and you can choose one to accompany you into the bathroom and wait for you to take a bath, and few men should be able to refuse.

Lao Zhu was also very tempted, but he had concerns! When the maid helped him undress, his Ruyi armor couldn't be taken off, so he couldn't turn it into a bracelet in front of the maid, right?

After bathing, Lao Zhu was introduced into a comfortable room by the group of beautiful maids and put a large table of wine and food. In addition to the rice rice, there are also energetic fruits, delicious dishes, and fragrant white thorn wine.

After eating and drinking, he opened a room for Lao Zhu again. The beautiful maid who led the team asked shyly, "Hero, do you want to choose a sister to accompany you?"

It wasn't until the next day, when the Holy Day rose into the air, that Lao Zhu was sent to a wide hall.

All the top rangers stationed at the first city wall came to the hall to be evaluated and rewarded by the master of the Demon Suppression Temple.

Zhu Tianpeng received the honorary title of "Silver Spear General" because of the three honors of being stationed on the city wall for the longest time, killing a large number of mutant beasts, and enthusiastically protecting his companions.

There were hundreds of top generals in the entire hall, but only ten of them received the title of general. And the "East Fence" guarded by Zhu Tianpeng did not appear in the hall.

Lao Zhu returned to the Fire Eyebrow Ranger Pavilion, and was led by Fire Eyebrow and Mo Cheng and others to celebrate the entire Ranger Pavilion.

After a lively day, the holy day rose, and it was still rainy outside.

Some of the rangers are still hiding in the Ranger Pavilion to spend their days, some are involved in the aftermath of the siege, and some are in retreat.

Zhu Tianpeng received the reward for defending the city from the hands of the fire eyebrows, and there were more than 100 amethyst coins.

"Tianpeng, you are participating in the war in the name of Lao Liu, and you can only count crystal coins for you, but you can't give you points. I didn't think about this matter, and I ask for your forgiveness!"

Lao Zhu naturally didn't care, but felt strange about getting hundreds of amethysts at once, because he didn't know how many ghost beasts he had killed in the city defense battle, how did the fire eyebrow shopkeeper count crystal coins for him?

"Is it the first time you've participated in the defense of the city? I don't even know this?" the fire eyebrows began to blow their beards and glare.

Lao Zhu didn't make a sound, he really didn't know!

"Before the battle to defend the city begins, the Demon Suppression Hall will hang crystal balls on a high place, taking care of every section of the city wall, and there are maids from the Demon Suppression Hall guarding it at all times. Your activity location is basically fixed in one place, and you know exactly how many ghost beasts you have killed, and there is usually nothing missing. ”

"During the defense of the city, the reward for slaughtering the ghost beast is double, the points are doubled, and the exchange for crystal coins is also doubled. What's more, participating in the battle as a top ranger, there are also ten amethysts as a base reward. You can get a hundred amethyst coins, which is not much, and there were people who once got thousands of amethyst coins at one time!"

"Actually, Amethyst is nothing, you can get the title of general is the most valuable, and it also adds glory to my Fire Eyebrow Ranger Pavilion, my thank you!"

When Zhu Tianpeng got the title of general, he also got a crystal plate engraved with the words "Silver Gun General".

"What can this general's number plate do?"

Huomei regarded Zhu Tianpeng as a fledgling child of the family, and patiently explained: "One is that you can enter the Demon Suppression Hall to refer to the practice cheats, and it is free for three days. The second is to obtain the qualifications to serve as the general of the Patrol Mansion, the town guard of the Demon Suppression Palace, and the opening of the Ranger Pavilion. Third, you can participate in the exploration activities of the secret realm of the underground. ”[.]
