It has been three months since the demon tide began, and in these three months, the demon beasts killed by the adventurers alone have been close to 120 million, and the blood has almost stained all the places at the foot of the entire Thunder Mountain, and the walls of some towns near the Thunder Mountain are countless claw marks and blood of the demon beasts.
Of course, the adventurers also lost a certain amount, and some adventurers with low strength and weak actual combat ability will inadvertently be killed by the ferocious demon beasts, but compared to the army of the dynasty, such a loss is nothing.
Those troops were all eliminated in formations, and then they continued to replenish their troops, and from the beginning of the war to now, 300,000 soldiers have lost their lives, and even their corpses have not been recovered, and a few have been eaten up by those demon beasts.
Cang Yu didn't go out again during this time, just quietly stayed in Changle Town to cultivate with peace of mind, while Murong Hanyue would go out from time to time to hunt some demon beasts and hone his sword skills, but at these times, he would replace the Heavenly Wind and Frost Sword in his hand with the most ordinary iron sword.
Some adventurers will follow behind him, pick up those demon beasts that have been killed, or kill those injured demon beasts, in the eyes of these adventurers, this young but unfathomable little guy is their fortune boy, this person kills the demon beast in an hour, it is already comparable to a small adventure group.
Xiao Murong didn't care about this, because Cang Yu would provide him with the things he needed for cultivation, whether it was a spirit stone or an elixir, as long as he wanted it, Cang Yu would give it - better than his own father.
And when those adventurers encountered any danger, he would take the initiative to help, and soon, the adventurers in the entire Changle Town knew that there was such a person as Murong Hanyue, and named him 'Xiao Yueyue'.
However, anyone who has a little strength will not follow behind Xiao Murong to pick up leaks, but go hunting those demon beasts by themselves, although it is more painful, but it is better to have dignity, and those who follow behind Xiao Murong are some very weak guys, they may be disabled, or they may not have better spiritual weapons, better exercises, they can only follow behind Murong Hanyue, picking up those demon beasts that have been killed or disabled-this can be regarded as a way for them to live.
And the later the battle, the more tragic it became, countless demon beasts poured over from all directions, and in the first month of the beginning, those people on the rear defense line had not seen a single demon beast, but since the beginning of these two months, they have gradually felt a kind of pressure.
At the beginning, these adventurers who came out of the back of the defense line came into contact with some third-order or fourth-order demon beasts, but in the past month, they have been able to see groups of first- and second-order demon beasts, entrenched around their town-although the level is low, it also shows that those adventurers at the forefront can no longer stop these lowest-level demon beasts.
Only for this reason will these low-level demon beasts be put behind, otherwise, with the temperament of those adventurers who want money and don't want their lives, they will not let these living points run away from their eyes.
They could also imagine how much pressure the front line was under - a daily guild notice with a list of adventurers who died every day, in the beginning, at most one or two adventurers died every day, but now, a dozen or dozens a day are common.
Changle Town, because there is a Tianyi Adventure Group guarding here, two Spirit Monarchs are in charge, plus Hu Nai, a spirit king who doesn't care about anything, he is not worried that these demon beasts will break through the town at all, but some towns are different, they may have several adventure groups guarding there, and there are nearly ten spirit marshals sitting in the town, but there are no top powerhouses, and the high-intensity combat has already reduced their combat effectiveness a lot.
Moreover, the casualties of the adventurers also made their morale a little low, even if the people with the Medicine King Sect continued to treat them, there would still be some who died because of their injuries.
Some of them regret, some of them are angry, some of them are cowardly, some of them are afraid of death--
Tianma Town, there are four adventure groups stationed here, one of which is still the Water Pavilion adventure group in the top ten, they alone have five spirit handsome, and the head of the group, Song Ren, is the peak powerhouse of the spirit handsome.
There are also three adventure groups, although the ranking is not high, but they already have a spirit handsome, plus the three spirit commanders of several families in the original town, a full fourteen people have absolute strength to defend this Tianma Town.
On the outer walls of the town, there are claw marks of demon beasts everywhere. Beneath the outer walls, those who don't know if it's the blood of monsters or humans, have turned the place into a kind of blackβa deep black with the breath of death, and a little red glow.
This Pegasus Town, which is at the forefront, is a little precarious in the face of the endless demon beast frenzy. Those earth-based adventurers have to strengthen and repair the outer walls of the town at the end of each battle, while the water-based adventurers have to clean up the remains of those demon beasts directly out of the town, and by the way, clean up those somewhat coagulated blood stains.
It's been three months since the battle.
Song Ren was already a little tired, such a high-intensity battle made him a little unbearable, thinking about the hundreds of brothers under his hands, they must be even more tired than him.
"Commander, there are already many brothers who have privately expressed that they don't want to fight anymore, if it weren't for the fact that they were surrounded by these demon beasts, someone must have escaped. β
Approaching night, a middle-aged man with a tired face sat directly next to Song Ren, this was the second head of the Water Pavilion Adventure Group, Yan Que.
"Old saying, you said that we should not participate in this operation, as of yesterday, there were already thirty-three brothers gone. Song Ren sat there with his eyes closed, as if he was there to ask Yanque, but he was not asking himself.
"Commander, let's not say that we decided to participate in it ourselves, but let's talk about these innocent people, we should also help them. We warriors are actually not much different from these people, at most we can do some magic and live longer. Yan Que sighed.
"Yes, maybe when we encounter such a disaster, there will be stronger people to fight for us--" Song Ren said, then got up and walked outside, towards the station of the Water Pavilion Adventure Regiment.
There, there were already many members of the group with bandages on their bodies, or lying directly on the bed, there were moans, curses, the laughter of the past was gone, and there was more of a dull atmosphere.
"I really don't know what the head of the regiment thought at the beginning, we have to participate in this bullshit demon tide, we have lived for so many years, when have we done such tiring work?" said a guy with a bandage on his head and even an eye covered.
"Yes, until now, I haven't reaped any benefits, but I have lost a lot of brothers, which is simply a matter of water in my head to do such a thing. β
"Yes, if I hadn't been quicker at the beginning, I'm afraid I would have had to take this life. β
"Being killed can only show that you are not good at it, if you can't understand such a thing, you better go home and drink milk. We, to put it bluntly, are just a bunch of bandits, but it was those demon beasts who were robbed. We're all doing the work of the pants belt, look at it, man. At this point, a man interjected.
"That's it, isn't the head of the regiment also for our good. As far as I know, Captain Song plans to hurry up and promote to the third-level yarn regiment after the end of this demon tide. Another guy said.
"For our own good, I think it's for himself!" said the guy who had just spoken.
"I remember that you were just a spirit master when you first joined the group, and now you are all in the late stage of the spirit master, what's the matter, what do you eat to cultivate and rise so fast? If I remember correctly, your life should have been saved by the head of the group, if it weren't for the head of the group, you and your brother would have died. Not far away, a spirit general squinted at the man, and there was a hint of disdain in his tone.
"I- I know, but when I think about those dead brothers, I don't think it's worth it. That person was also a little faceless when he was said like this.
"If you have any opinions, go to the head of the regiment, then no, the head of the regiment is here. The general looked at the man and said no more.
Song Ren walked among these people, although the conversation between them could not be fully heard, but he could still hear a rough idea from that few words, and he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
"There is still a month to go, and I estimate that the next fifteen days will be the saddest fifteen days, and after fifteen days, the demon tide should recede. β
"However, I am not here to ask you to persevere. I suddenly realized that I was wrong, there may be many of you who don't understand, why you want to participate in this monster frenzy, why you want to fight these endless monsters--"
"Do you think it's for me, for me?"
"I seem to think highly of you, as warriors, we should have the consciousness of warriors. In order to live a few more years, in order to improve our cultivation, we fought with the heavens and the earth - but think about the fact that before you joined the Adventure Guild, you worked hard for months to not get the elixir you wanted, and you couldn't get a spiritual weapon of your own!"
"And now, you feel bitter, you don't think it's worth it? I'm really ashamed of you! Why don't you look to the future and think about it, as long as you hold on for another fifteen days, there will be a large amount of points to redeem for us, and then we will exchange it for what we want, if it is ranked high, there will be additional rewards?"
"We are on the front line, so naturally we are a little harder, but this is also an opportunity for us, compared to those adventure groups in the rear, we have an advantage - these adventure groups in the front line, the worst gains can be compared with those adventure groups in the front in the rear!"
"I, Song Ren, don't force you, if you want to leave, I will personally lead the team and send you away, I can directly spend a large amount of spirit stones and directly let you leave here as a teleportation array, and I can even personally escort you to Qingyue City and Fusang City!"
"However, as long as you go out, don't come back, and you will no longer be my Song Ren's brother!"
