The night is empty, and there is no moon in sight.

As the saying goes: The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, when you kill people and set fires.

Mocheng is a small border city located in the northeast corner of the forest continent, its shape is like a large and small concentric circle, the diameter of the inner circle is only ten miles, but the outer diameter is about fifty miles.

However, the gap between the inner and outer cities is huge, there is a palace as high as dozens of zhang in the center of the inner city, surrounded by ten zhang high ring buildings, the central palace is set off very solemn and majestic, as if the belief of ten thousand people worship in general.

The outer city is not so luxurious and rich, and it is full of ordinary dwellings. However, due to the large population, it is very lively at night.

Waves of guards on the outer city walls were patrolling back and forth, on guard. There is a beacon tower every dozens of zhang on the city wall to illuminate the surrounding area of the city wall, which can be said to be quite tight.

"I'll tell you, that girl last night, she was really sassy, that waist, that ass, oops~... I'm drooling right now when I think about it, hahahaha," one of the guards laughed lewdly.

"Hey, hey... I still have a little pain in my back."

"Give me a little bit of seriousness! Let's go back and discuss this little thing, today is the last day of this month's duty, if we can pass safely, we can add new equipment, which is very necessary for us to improve our strength! Don't forget, this is in the northeast, but it is quite close to the Motu Forest, be careful of those demonic beast attacks, it is said that this city was very dangerous before, otherwise why take such a high commission, if you have the skill to speak, it is better to pray for a safe night!"

"Yes, Captain!"

"I can't see the slightest moonlight tonight, it's not good... Let's hope it's safe," the captain muttered as he glanced at the sky.

Thousands of miles away, the Motu Forest is composed of giant trees the size of a hundred zhang, one of which is shuttling through the woods, and the vicious eyes on the black shadows reveal the desire for blood, and the direction in which they gallop is Mocheng.

While they were talking, in the dark shadow under the city wall, a half-foot-long shadow swayed and slowly advanced, and if you didn't stand close and check it carefully, you wouldn't be able to find anything strange in the shadow.

And when the shadow stops, you will find two faint eyes looking towards the city wall. Shadows snaked up the city walls, lurking deep like a python waiting for an opportunity. When the two waves of guards passed by, the shadow melted into the shadow of one of the guards in an instant, and walked towards the changing of the guard...

The center of the inner city, the city lord's mansion.

The hall in the house is hundreds of zhang in size, and countless dancers are trying their best to perform, showing off their most coquettish side, just so that the big people in the house can have a concubine who likes them, even if it is used to warm the bed, because that is the moment when their sparrows become phoenixes, and they no longer have to suffer from poverty.

A golden bench in the deepest part of the hall, with two golden dragons carved on the left and right sides as handles, sat a middle-aged man in blue, holding a wine glass and looking at everyone and saying: " Today Zhou thank you for coming to help the difficulty of Mocheng, midnight is the time of the clouds, the night is not seen five fingers, presumably the fierce beasts of the Motu Forest will definitely come to make trouble, this group of livestock has been lurking for so long and it must not be the previous tentative harassment, maybe the demon beasts in the depths of the Motu Forest will also appear, so I hope you don't have reservations, if this disaster can be passed smoothly, what Zhou promised you, will be doubled. ”

"Okay, thank you City Lord Zhou, I will definitely try my best to help."

"Yes, it's just a beast, but it's just a herd of livestock, how can they turn the sky upside down!" the crowd echoed.

"Hmph, this group of second goods, do you think my money is so easy to get? This group of fierce beasts can be said to have increased their combat power by more than 30% with the help of the power of Zhiyin at the time of Zhiyin, I hope you can have your life to take it. A group of people who have gathered about eight layers of qi, although dealing with ordinary fierce beasts can be said to be like killing chickens, but in this beast tide, how can it be so simple, not to mention that there is a thirty percent combat power bonus!" The city lord sneered in his heart, but there was no change on his face, and he still smiled at everyone.

"Presumably, Mocheng has the master of the foundation building period of Zhou City Lord, and the small beast tide will definitely not hurt Mocheng in the slightest!" A white-bearded old man in a red robe said.

In Zhou's view, Zhu Daoren's foundation is strong, presumably after this time, with the help of Zhou's Zhuji Dan, there should be no difficulty in stepping into the realm of foundation building. ”

"I am not talented, I know that my foundation is poor, and I stay for many years in the foundation building period in order to let myself have a greater grasp of the impact of the foundation building realm. Zhu Daoren replied.

Practicing together, everyone in the world knows: if you don't reach the foundation, you are all ants.

Mortals have no spiritual roots, they can only practice mortal martial arts, strengthen their bodies, and those who are powerful in martial arts can only be equivalent to a monk of the ninth layer of qi gathering when they enter the transformation realm. And those who have spiritual roots may not be able to knock on the door of cultivation, because chance and luck are still indispensable.

Qi gathering is to feel the aura of the world and incorporate it into the body through the meridians in the body, and from then on to begin the practice. With the accumulation of aura in the body, the dirt in the body is discharged, and gradually the person is separated from the mortal womb of the body.

Zhu Daoren is self-aware that he is a miscellaneous spiritual root, if it weren't for some chance to cultivate a low-level fire system in the early years, I am afraid that it is hopeless to build a foundation in this life, so he laid a solid foundation in the gathering period, in order to increase the success rate of building the foundation, it took many years, but when I thought of the increase in the years after the foundation, I was very excited.

Yes, the most significant manifestation of the so-called breaking of the flesh and mortal fetus is that the life span can be extended to 200 years old! Therefore, in front of these 200 years of life, all mortal beings are ants, even if they are perfect beauties, they will only be pink skeletons after a hundred years.

"If Zhu misses the city lord's Zhuji Dan this time, I'm afraid there will be no hope of breaking the shackles and stepping into the foundation building, and this time I will do my best to help the city lord!" Zhu Daoren said respectfully.

As soon as you enter the foundation building and get rid of the mortal womb of the physical body, it can be said that the gap between the foundation building and the gathering of qi is quite large, so the cultivation is a journey, regardless of age and generation, and only speaks according to strength. It can be said that in the eyes of people in the foundation building period, all the ants under the foundation are ants.

"Okay, there is Zhu Daoren's words, after this incident, Zhou will definitely present the Zhuji Dan! After everyone is full of wine and food, you will follow Zhou to the outer city wall to watch, once the beast herd attacks, you can reach the outer wall through the inner city teleportation array. Zhou Cheng said.

"Report!"

"City Lord, there are a large number of fierce beasts attacking in the north of the outer city, and they are menacing, and there are no fierce beasts attacking on the east side for the time being. A soldier ran in and said.

"Okay! It seems that this gang of fierce beasts really can't help it, in that case, let's go, let's meet these livestock for a while!" Zhou City Lord shouted loudly.

At this time, on the north side of the outer wall, there were a large number of fierce beasts hovering ten miles away from the city wall, at first glance there were probably tens of thousands, and there was no end in the dense darkness of the night. In the depths of the beast tide, a leopard with a silver body, shining silver light, and golden horns on its head, like a king, was in the center of the beast tide, and it seemed to be the leader of the beast tide. Its eyes were fierce, revealing bloodthirsty desire, looking at the ink city in the distance.

At this time, the outer wall of Mocheng was covered with dense soldiers, and they were preparing for battle. Due to the proximity of Mocheng to the Motu Forest, the soldiers have been on the battlefield for a long time, although there are mostly mortals, they are full of murderous aura, and the huge beast tide does not have the slightest fear, but is well prepared under the huge pressure.

The front of the city wall more than ten zhang wide is covered with fire crossbowmen, and with the blessing of spiritual power, the fire crossbow arrows shot will explode, producing great lethality. The rear is full of flint machines, throwing huge flints, which can be said to be farther and more lethal, and it is an upgraded version of fire crossbow arrows. In between, soldiers armed with broadswords and shields were stationed to deal with the beasts that rushed up the walls, killing them in close combat to prevent them from storming into the city.

At the teleportation array on the inner city wall, everyone stood on the teleportation array, and the four monks around them urged the spiritual power in their bodies to activate the teleportation array. A burst of cyan light flickered, and everyone appeared on the outer wall.

"Shhhhh

Looking at the countless fierce beasts outside the city wall, this group of people also sighed, because although they were strong people in the Qi Gathering Period, they had not experienced the bloody baptism of the battlefield after all, and they were still very surprised when they saw this kind of pomp.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the impact of the first few waves of fierce beasts will be under the crotch of fire crossbow arrows and flints, and when the impact of the beast tide is reduced, let the soldiers go out to fight the beast tide, and when the situation is stable, I hope you will join the battlefield and help me stabilize the victory. I'm here to prevent those monsters from appearing. City Lord Zhou said to everyone.

"Obey the city lord's dispatch!" everyone clenched their fists and agreed.

With the tense mental state of both sides, time flies, and the time has come inadvertently.

At this moment, a large number of beast tides also appeared in the east of Mocheng, and the beast tides that had just appeared came with bursts of beast roars, and at the same time, their vicious eyes also stared at Mocheng, as if they were proclaiming their bloodthirsty war intent, eager to tear apart the human race and suck blood. And in the depths of this group of beast tides, there is also a demon beast with black skin and tiger body and horns, like a king.

As this group of beasts hit, the soldiers and monks on the city wall couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, but on the surface, they were even more combative, because they knew that if the outcome of this war was not successful, then they could only be the ones who were in a different position.

"It's... So many beasts... Even if I survive today, I'm afraid I won't have the strength to find that coquettish chick..."

"Captain, I can't imagine that we still haven't escaped today, so many fierce beasts, why are they so terrifying... We... We're not going to die..."

"Enough, give me some spirit, we have experienced so many storms and rains, what are you afraid of! The beginning of the beast tide must be dealt with by firearms, and when the momentum weakens, it is the time for us to make a move, when the time comes, we will not be separated, just a fierce beast, we must be careful, I don't want to lose any of my brothers' lives!"

"Yes, Captain!" shouted the crowd.

The scene that happened in this mercenary squad is very common, and there are many squads happening, but for the sake of life and money, they all look at the beast tide with red eyes.

The two king demon beasts of the beast tide on the east and north sides suddenly straightened up, their eyes showed a fierce light, they looked at Mocheng, and waved their claws and roared.

"Whew...!!"

"Roar...!!"

With the roar of the two king demon beasts, the tide of beasts on both sides surged towards Mocheng like a tide, and the soldiers on the city wall began to be on guard.

Because they understand that this war has begun!
