772. Chapter 771: Precursor to the Beast Tide

It is said that He Xibo has served as the leader of this escort team for more than ten years, and his prestige can be imagined.

"Brother Yuwen, you and I will first observe the scale and types of the beast tide, even if it is a big beast tide, there are large and small beast tides, and there are weak and strong beast types. After He Xibo saw Yuwen Zhouyuan at a glance, he walked over and said.

Since Brother He said so, Yuwen was naturally very happy. Yuwen Zhouyuan was stunned, but immediately agreed.

To be honest, although Yuwen Zhouyuan didn't really pay attention to the "beast tide" composed of some ordinary beasts and low-level demon beasts, he was still a little curious in his heart.

Now that I can open my eyes first, I will not refuse this matter.

When the two walked to the street outside the inn, they found that the outside was also completely different, the originally bustling street had already become sparsely populated, and even these few passers-by were also in a hurry, panicked.

On the streets, the beasts fell several times more, and one or several monsters could be seen everywhere running wildly, in addition to these beasts, there was also the kind of horse-body minotaur that the wind and rain merchant alliance had was ridden by people, and it was also mixed in with it. It's just that this knight is dressed in the uniform of the guards of Fuyao City, and while galloping, he loudly announces the coming beast tide and the order of martial law in the whole city.

And the content of the order is nothing more than that, except for the innate warriors and the soldiers in the city, other ordinary residents must stay in their residences honestly, and they must not go out at will.

Just when Yuwen Zhouyuan and He Xibo also rode two horse-body minotaurs to the nearest city wall, at the top of a building that looked like a tall tower in the south of Fuyao City, a big man in a purple robe stood in front of a window in the tower, pressing the windowsill with one hand and the other behind his back, silently looking into the distance, his face was extremely gloomy.

Suddenly, the door of the house was pushed open, and a soldier covered in clear bone armor walked in quickly, came to the vermilion-robed man and knelt down half-knelt, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Qiqi, it has now been found that there are three waves of beasts that have come to attack, namely the snow jackal beast of the Ladaqinliqi grassland, the blood locust and the flying demon beast of the Heiling Mountain Range. ”

"Sure enough, it was attacked by these three groups of beasts, this is a big trouble, if the other beasts are okay, the snow jackal beast and the blood locust beast have not had a beast tide for more than three hundred years, and now the number is probably amazing. Those flying monsters are a little trickier. The city's anti-air force is the weakest point, although it borrowed a batch of strong bows and crossbows from other cities in advance, and quickly purchased a batch. But ordinary crossbow arrows don't have much effect on demon beasts. The big man in the red robe sighed lightly, and there was a little anxiety between his eyebrows.

"Didn't your lord order a batch from the Wind and Rain Business Alliance, Crystal Arrows and Demon Breaking Crossbows? With these special crossbow arrows, they should be able to hold the air, not to mention those monks who came to assist, they can all take off and fly, and it is also a great air defense boost, with their assistance, those flying demon beasts should not pose a threat. The armorer reassured.

"Now that's all I can think about, you have put those monks together to monitor the movements of breeding beasts. The Snow Jackal Beast and the Blood Locust Beast can be sent to the Innate Warriors and ordinary soldiers to deal with. By the way, then the scattered forces of this recruitment will also be prepared as soon as possible, and they will be used in turn among the guards. The vermilion-robed man commanded again.

"Yes, my lord!" said the sergeant, and then stepped back and carried out the order.

The big man in the red robe, the city lord of Fuyao City, turned his head to look out the window, and his face was gloomy again.

Yuwen Zhouyuan stood on a certain section of the city wall of Fuyao City, looking at the situation in the distance, although his expression seemed calm, but his heart was a little shocked.

I saw that dozens of miles away from the city wall, the original loess-colored ground has become a white expanse, and the endless clear sea seems to drown everything, and under these white close looks, it is actually a snow-white jackal beast of different sizes, one by one, with green eyes, snow-white all over, and fangs slightly exposed, showing a hideous color.

The number of these jackals is so large that it is impossible to tell how many tens of thousands of them have come out, and most of the snow jackals do not say a word, only a few jackals howl continuously, one after another, as if they are transmitting some information to each other.

"Fortunately, this is just the most ordinary snow jackal beast, if you encounter a red jackal beast or a yellow jackal beast, or even a rare golden jackal beast, I am afraid that with the number of jackal beasts alone, Fuyao City will definitely not be able to resist it!" He Xibo, who was standing next to Yuwen Zhouyuan, turned a little pale, and muttered with his hands secretly clenched into fists.

"Golden Jackal Beast!" Yuwen Zhouyuan heard the words of the scarfaced man He Xibo, and suddenly came back to his senses from the astonishing number of jackal beasts, and let out a strange light "Huh" on his face.

"What's the matter? Brother Yuwen has never seen a golden jackal beast before? Among several kinds of jackal beasts, the golden jackal beast is the most difficult to deal with, an ordinary golden jackal beast can probably be worth more than ten snow jackal beasts, in a previous beast tide, I was lucky enough to see this kind of jackal beast. They are terrible, but they are still fresh in my memory. The scar-faced man was a little surprised and explained casually.

"If it's just these ordinary snow jackal beasts, no matter how many they are, there is nothing to be afraid of under the high city guarded by our human race. The terrifying thing is that the beast herd is usually led by some low-cost demon beasts that have opened their spiritual intelligence, and there are also a lot of mutant beasts between ordinary beasts and demon beasts, although these mutated beasts do not have some incredible magical powers like mutant monsters, but compared to ordinary beasts, they are also terrifying enough, not only in size, strength, and swiftness, but also in a low-level innate martial artist, they can't deal with it in a one-on-one situation!" Scarface squinted Han Fu Xibo said solemnly.

"So tricky!Are there a lot of mutant beasts in the herd?" asked Yuwen Zhouyuan with a frown.

"Basically, one out of a thousand beasts will mutate. He Xibo thought about it for a while, and said uncertainly.

"A thousand?" Yuwen Zhouyuan glanced at the snow-white beast sea in the distance again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Even if Yuwen Zhouyuan couldn't accurately see the number of these snow jackal beasts, at least there were millions, and with such a huge number, even if the number of mutant jackal beasts was not tens of thousands, there must be thousands.

With so many mutant beasts, in the attack and defense of a city where there will be no human-level monks, it is indeed a deadly force.

"Alright, let's go somewhere else and see how the rest of the herd is doing. After looking at it for a while, He Xibo sighed and said, he didn't seem to be very optimistic about the prospects of this beast tide.

"What's the matter, Brother He is a little worried that he won't be able to defend this city?" Yuwen Zhouyuan asked with a smile although he still went down the huge city wall with the other party.

"He Mou is indeed a little worried, the few times he was attacked and slaughtered by the beast herd in the past were all small cities like Fuyao City, which were newly established less than 10,000 years ago, and they were all broken by the outbreak of the big beast tide, coupled with the lack of preparation in advance, and this time the beast tide, there are also flying demon birds and beasts, the number of this kind of demon birds will not be too much, but every one of them is born, it is the existence of a first-class demon beast, and if it cannot be prevented in the air, it is really dangerous. He Xibo looked worried.

"Flying Demon Beasts, is it so terrifying?" Yuwen Zhouyuan's eyes flashed, and he seemed to be a little unconvinced.

"In terms of individual strength, flying demon birds and beasts are not ranked very high among demon birds in the beast tide, but their natural bodies can exude a kind of poison, and ordinary people will be killed by hearing it.

The only way to fight them in close quarters is to shoot them down from afar.

But this kind of demon bird is the kind of race that is more flexible and fast, if the anti-air power is insufficient, it is difficult to really block them, and the anti-air power of Fuyao City is the weakest point of defense. He Xibo said slowly.

"The anti-air force is insufficient, doesn't the Lord of Fuyao City know that this matter is serious?" Yuwen Zhouyuan said in surprise.

Now the city lord must have known that almost all the worldly power in the human city is in the hands of the city lord.

"What's the use of knowing, I heard that this city suffered heavy losses during the last beast tide, and the original power was exhausted, and it has been the result of the city lord's hard work to restore the current defensive strength, and I heard that he also borrowed some weapons and soldiers from other nearby cities, and the power of the air is naturally powerless. He Xibo actually said such a thing.

Yuwen Juyuan listened, a little speechless.

Soon, when Yuwen Zhouyuan followed the scarface-squinting man He Xibo to stand on the other city wall, the red cloud in the sky that was like a colorful glow, needless to say, it must be a swarm of blood locusts, this swarm of blood locusts looked more formidable than the snow jackal beast group.

The only good news is that this blood locust is not poisonous in its mouth, nor does it spew poisonous mist, and it is much easier to defend.

Yuwen Zhouyuan sighed secretly again after seeing from a distance that giant locusts that were far larger than several times their size from time to time in the blood locust cloud.

This kind of adult locust, the body is more than a foot long, and it is not much smaller than an eagle. Ordinary people are bitten by this giant locust, and under the powerful jaw attack, they will definitely break their bones and tendons. Moreover, the number of this mutated giant locust is naturally more because the blood locust swarm is much larger than the snow jackal beast swarm.

After seeing the two groups of beasts, Yuwen Zhouyuan regretted that he didn't see the flying demon beasts mentioned in He Xibo's mouth.

According to He Xibo, the scarface man, this kind of flying demon bird generally inhabits hidden places, and the flock of flying demon birds will not appear until the attack time.

"What are the beasts waiting for now, why didn't they attack immediately?" Looking at the beasts in the distance, Yuwen Zhouyuan suddenly asked.

"The beast herd is led by demon beasts who have opened their wisdom, so naturally it is impossible for them to attack in a swarm, and they will definitely decide the time to attack together after contacting the other two groups of beasts. Generally speaking, this time is about a day, let's go, our Wind and Rain Business Alliance should also receive the order to prepare the city. In this kind of big war, we are just a drop in the ocean, let's do our best. If we were really lucky enough to break through the bottleneck or realize something in the fight, it would not be considered that we had taken such a risk to stay. He Xibo sneered for the last time, and took Yuwen Zhouyuan back to the city, and finally returned to the inn.
