Chapter 2: The Boy in Black

"Everyone, don't panic, Mocheng's strategic reserves are very sufficient, and they can support this war, don't be afraid, please slowly move closer to the underground shelter!"

"Don't be afraid, the army will protect you, please rest assured to move underground, there is plenty of water and food underground for everyone's living needs" A pair of mortal residents of the city who were in order to guide the soldiers.

Although this is a world where you can practice, the world is always unfair, and mortals without spiritual roots can only live in the mortal world, working hard to get a bite to eat. It is only in the central region of the continent that cultivators gather, and there, is the world of cultivators. It's just that in this small border area in the northeast, there are fewer cultivators, and some of them are just border guards who are fighting against fierce beasts and defending their homeland.

In this small place of Mocheng, there are not too many monks who are willing to come over, because there are no rich cultivation resources, there are no supernatural powers of anti-heaven exercises, and there are only blood and killing. Therefore, there are still many mortals in this outer city, and whenever a large beast tide hits, mortals will be turned underground just in case. If the city is lost, many mortals will also be teleported to large towns in the distance according to the large teleportation array underground.

"Mother, I'm afraid..."

"Well, it's okay to have a mother to protect you, it's going to be fine..."

"Daddy, I miss Daddy," cried the child.

"Daddy has something to do, and I'll be back in a while"

"Will definitely come back," muttered the woman as she looked at the northern wall and in a voice that only she could hear.

This scene is happening all the time among the hundreds of thousands of people in this town. Mere mortals, when facing fierce beasts, if they don't knock on the fairy door, they are so helpless, and they never know if they can see the sun tomorrow.

Exterior wall lookout.

"The city lord, the lady and the young lord's subordinates have already personally taken them to the safe house, presumably with the protection of the magic circle, it must be foolproof," said an old man in black who appeared next to the city lord of Zhou.

"Okay, let's see what these animals do."

"Pass the order, the flint machine is ready to be projected!" shouted the city lord of Zhou.

As the order was laid, the soldiers on the city wall began to load flint machines with flint stones, and rows of flint machines were burning, and the dazzling light of the fire revealed a powerful destructive power.

City Lord Zhou looked at the surging beast tide with a solemn face. When the beast tide reached about five miles from the city wall, a loud shout was heard.

"Put!"

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As this command was heard, countless flints shot out, like fierce fire dragons rushing towards the beast tide. The sound of breaking through the air was heard, and as it flew, the flint's momentum grew even stronger. However, there was no dodging behavior from the beast tide, but it was even more surging, and the roar shook the sky, making people tremble.

Knock! Knock!

The flint exploded, and the huge impact and flames swept in all directions, instantly devouring the fierce beasts in a radius of several feet. As the flints fell one by one, all the miles away from the city wall were dyed into a sea of fire, and the front row of the entire beast tide could be said to be completely annihilated.

However, the power of the beast tide lies in its endless supply!

Although the first wave of beasts to come back died, they saw batches of fierce beasts rushing out of the sea of fire, attacking the city.

"Keep put, don't stop!" a new wave of flints shot out as they were ready.

"Firebowmen prepare!" the lord ordered.

Rows of firebowmen loaded their firebolts, waited until the beast rushed two miles away, and gave an order.

"Put!"

A rain of fire shot out from the sky, surging towards the rushing tide of beasts. The dense fire crossbow arrows smashed on the beast like a torrential rain, and the wails of pain were endless.

With the combination of flint machine and fire crossbow arrows, a sea of fire was formed within a radius of five miles, burning one fierce beast after another. However, a large number of fierce beasts still came through the sea of fire, stepping on corpses, using piles and piles of corpses as tools to climb the city walls. Occasionally, a few climbed the city wall with sharp claws, and they would also be surrounded by huge shields and hacked to death with large knives, but they also had to pay the price of several human lives, and even worse, some were thrown into the beast tide, and were immediately torn apart by the fierce beasts that pounced, devouring flesh and blood.

It's a long-term battle of heritage and endurance.

"I didn't expect that there were so many of these fierce beasts, and they were not afraid of death, fellow Daoists, it was better for us not to act separately for a while, it would be safer for three people to fight in a group," Zhu Daoren said to everyone. Due to the small number of longevity, in order to break through the foundation, Zhu Dao people were very sparing their lives.

"Good idea, it only makes sense to come back alive," the crowd said.

"Presumably, there must be a demon beast coming, but I don't know when I will make a move, when the time comes, let these people go desperately, and when the time comes, I will take the opportunity to kill the demon beast and take its inner pill, which will have a great benefit on my cultivation" City Lord Zhou looked at everyone and thought in his heart. With a smile on his face, he said: "Don't worry, when the number of beast tides is almost consumed, we will send an army to fight head-on, and then let you help you fight." ”

"With a master like the city lord in charge, just a beast tide, in the case of sufficient heritage, it can't move Mocheng at all. Someone touted.

And City Lord Zhou just smiled faintly, looking at the beast tide, but he faintly felt a chill in his heart.

The inner city, the castle lord's mansion.

With the beginning of the battle outside, the city lord's mansion seemed deserted, and occasionally a few guards patrolled, but because of the safety of the inner city, it seemed more scattered, because it was impossible for a fierce beast to attack.

In the shadow of the house, a half-foot-long shadow slowly stood upright, and if people saw it, they would definitely exclaim that they had seen a ghost.

After the shadow stabilized, it turned out to be a young man in black.

Looking at the towering and majestic City Lord's Mansion, the black-clothed young man sneered.

"The City Lord's Mansion in this small city is so luxurious, although there are a lot of rewards near the Motu Forest, but it can't reach this level, it seems that Zhou Huairen, who is in the middle of the foundation building in this area, still has a lot of secrets. ”

"This midnight is when the night is cloudy, the lurking beasts are bound to attack the army, it is a good time to sneak in, if there is no such day, it must be more troublesome to sneak in than now, but after all, there are not many cultivators, as long as that Zhou Huairen is not there, everyone else is ants" The black-clothed young man muttered to himself.

"Go first to his treasury, and then to kill his wife and children. As for him, I don't have the strength to fight head-on now, but when I build the foundation, I will be able to take his head. However, the real beast tide has not yet arrived, presumably even in the middle of his foundation building will be difficult to deal with, maybe when the time comes, he will be besieged by demon beasts and return from serious injuries, and I can still take the opportunity to take away his head! It's really troublesome, why do you have to take on this task of killing the whole family, I thought that in the early stage of foundation building, with my body and natural powers, as well as the power of maneuvering, I didn't expect to break through to the middle stage of foundation building, how can I be good, if I don't have a chance, I can only keep him alive first" The young man in black thought in his heart.

I saw the young man in black turn into a dark shadow and flee into the distance again, as if everything that had just happened here was an illusion.

The black-clothed young man searched around the mansion, but found no target person, nor did he find a place similar to a treasure house, and said secretly in his heart: "What's going on, I've searched twice, why haven't I found it yet, is there any forbidden magic circle here?"

At this moment, he saw two figures coming from a distance, and said.

"This city lord's mansion is so safe, there is a big battle at this time, and we need to come back to take care of the treasure house and the young master and his wife, this magic circle is so safe, if others don't have stone talismans, how can they feel where the magic circle is" One of them grumbled.

"Be careful with the Ten Thousand Year Ship, and even if it's okay, we're pretty safe in this circle. Another said.

"I see," the black-clothed young man sneered. Then he turned into a body and looked at the two of them, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"The Sword Comes"

With a whisper, I saw a black light turn out of the shadows, which was a black sword about three feet long. The black sword is jet black all over, and even the hilt is black, but if you look closely, you will find that the hilt is covered with strange shapes, which looks extremely mysterious.

The black sword was in his hand, and the young man's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he immediately rushed towards the two, like a python in the night, and the distance of more than ten zhang seemed to come to an end in an instant.

Before the two of them could react, they saw that as they spoke, a black light flashed, and the two of them saw the upside-down world and their upright bodies, but at this time, they found that the heads on the two bodies were gone, and at the same time they saw a black figure walking towards their bodies....

Until the two of them died, they didn't understand that the two eighth-layer monks who gathered qi died so unconsciously, which can be described as a blind death!

With the fall of the two heads, the figure of the young man groped on the two headless corpses, and soon found two storage bags on his waist, this storage bag is very magical, containing a little space method, as long as the spiritual power is sent into some of them, you will find a square space, which can be used to store items, which is very convenient. The boy casually tucked it into a gourd around his waist. This gourd is also a rare storage item.

The young man looked at the stone talisman in his hand, sent a little spiritual power, and felt the direction of the forbidden magic circle, and casually disposed of the two corpses, looking at the direction and sneering, his eyes showed a trace of greed, but more of a deep killing intent.
