Chapter 137 Killing Frenzy
Another tough night has passed...
As the morning light rose, the roars of beasts came from the suburbs, one after another, gathering into a torrent, scaring the people in the city to wet their pants.
On the top of the city wall, the soldiers' hands holding their spears were shaking slightly.
Their faces were pale.
After forbearing for several days, the beasts suddenly erupted, venting their brutality, evil spirit, bloodiness, and madness without restraint, determined to spread death to every corner of the world.
Boom, boom, boom…
Group after group of ferocious beasts, led by eighth- and ninth-grade monsters, came out of the woods where they were hiding, roaring, raging, baring their fangs and claws, and excitedly rushed towards Yongcheng.
There was a bloodthirsty light in his eyes.
Everyone lost their composure, and the players were ready to log off the line at any time.
Only Qin Mo remained calm.
"Ah~~~"
Along with a clear whistle like a phoenix, a pair of yellow wings that covered the sky suddenly appeared in the distant sky. Against the backdrop of the rising sun, they were so beautiful and noble.
"Is it a yellow bird?"
The players were puzzled and didn't know when Qin Mo sent out the yellow bird.
"There is someone on the back of the bird." Some sharp-eyed players have noticed something unusual and are looking at Qin Mo, trying to get the answer they want from the latter's face.
A smile broke out on Qin Mo's face.
He finally waited for the person he wanted to wait for.
…
As early as three days ago, Qin Mo sent the yellow bird to Huqi Mountain.
At the beginning, when he agreed to let the people of Yongcheng stay, he had actually anticipated the scene of thousands of beasts besieging the city, and he just hoped that the Ghost King could make a choice.
Is it just talk, or do they really want to fight against the beast tide and restore the reputation of the Demon Cult?
Now look,
The Ghost King did not disappoint him.
There were shadowy figures on the back of the yellow bird, no less than seven hundred people.
In addition to the more than 300 player disciples who had recently joined, the rest were the elite of the Ghost King Sect, and among them were the Ghost King, Gui Li, Bi Yao, Qing Long, You Ji, Yan Hui, the Killing Monk...
No master is left behind.
The Ghost King Clan has come out in full force, ready to fight a decisive battle with the beast herd in Yongcheng.
What a courage!
Even Qin Mo didn't expect that the Ghost King would be so reckless.
As he was speaking, the yellow bird had already quickly passed the galloping herd of beasts and landed first in Yongcheng, with an unhappy look on its face, apparently feeling very unhappy about being ridden by so many people.
The Ghost King flew down first, came to Qin Mo, and said with a smile: "How is it, are you not late?"
"Just right." Qin Mo smiled.
The Ghost King glanced outside the city and said faintly, "It's a huge scene."
"That's interesting, isn't it?"
"Then let's fight!"
The Ghost King hasn't been so excited in a long time.
Outside the city, there were a hundred thousand demon beasts galloping, demonic clouds rolling, making the earth tremble and the air freeze. But on the top of the city, the two men were still chatting and laughing, treating the hundred thousand demon beasts as nothing.
Such peerless grace is truly admirable.
The female disciples of the Ghost King Sect who were accompanying him all looked at Qin Mo with such charming eyes that tears were about to drip from their eyes.
The women of the Demon Sect have always been open-minded and not bound by worldly etiquette. Even if they cannot win Qin Mo's favor, it would be great if they could have a quickie with him.
It's a pity that Qin Mo is blind...
All those charming gestures hit the air without causing any ripples.
However, the player standing next to Qin Mo, looking at the enchanting snake-like figures of the female disciples, secretly swallowed his saliva spinelessly.
During the conversation, the Ghost King and Qin Mo decided on a strategy for defending the city.
The elite disciples of the Ghost King Sect, including more than 400 new player disciples, were divided into four groups and sent to the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest city walls respectively, relying on the geographical advantages to snipe the beast tide.
Qin Mo sits in the north and the Ghost King sits in the south.
Gui Li and Bi Yao are stationed on the east side, while Qing Long and You Ji are stationed on the west side.
The four ferocious beasts, Zhulong, Yellow Bird, Black Water Snake and Zouwu, were also summoned by Qin Mo and sent to the four city gates to assist in defending the city.
This battle is bound to shock the world.
…
As they were talking, the huge herd of beasts had already crossed the wasteland and rushed to the city wall with a rumbling sound.
It's really spectacular.
The ones charging in the front are actually the low-level ferocious beasts, which account for the largest proportion.
It is only slightly stronger than ordinary beasts.
In a sense, they are more like semi-finished products produced on an assembly line.
Like wild boars, black bears, monkeys, elephants, tigers, jackals, and wild dogs, they are no different from ordinary wild beasts, except that their teeth are sharper and their eyes are bloodshot.
We can just hand it over to the defenders on the city wall.
Under the unified command of Ningzhou General Zhao Hai, arrows rained down like raindrops, and catapults and crossbows fired continuously without any sense of saving.
It seems like he is going to use up all his bullets right from the start.
The fact is, they can only be used in this first round to deal with the cannon fodder in the beast herd. After that, it will be the monks' turn to appear.
Under the cover of the dense rain of arrows, large numbers of ferocious beasts fell.
The blood instantly dyed the ground red.
But there were too many ferocious beasts. Before the archers ran out of arrows, the bravest and luckiest beasts had already rushed to the foot of the city wall.
They certainly had no siege engines.
Just when everyone was puzzled, they saw that these ferocious beasts were stacked up like a pyramid, layer by layer, with giant beasts like brown bears and elephants at the bottom.
In the middle are ferocious beasts such as wild boars and tigers.
At the top are ferocious beasts such as nimble and cunning jackals, wild dogs, and foxes.
Clear division of labor!
What greeted them were pieces of rolling logs, huge rocks, and pots of hot oil. They were either smashed into meat paste or let out heart-wrenching howls.
But even in this situation, no ferocious beasts rushed towards the city gate.
Nothing else.
There were four ancient ferocious beasts standing in front of the city gate. Just with their powerful aura, they were able to scare these low-level beasts half to death. How could they dare to rush up and seek death?
Faced with human war machines, the beasts suffered heavy casualties.
They charged forward wave after wave, fell down wave after wave, and each of them was unafraid of death.
The area outside the city was soon littered with the corpses of wild animals.
It's like a large slaughterhouse.
Even under such a tight defense network, there are still ferocious beasts that rush to the top of the city walls, which shows how large their numbers are and how ferocious their natures are.
It was not until this time that the disciples of the Ghost King Sect took action. In order to save mana, they all chose to fight with hand-to-hand weapons.
There is killing everywhere...
The seemingly invincible beast tide was blocked by humans.
“Roar~~~”
Seeing that the attack was not going well, roars of monsters were heard from the back of the herd. One by one, ninth-grade and eighth-grade monsters stood out from the crowd, wanting to take the lead and break through the gap in human defense.
Almost at the same time, some monks flew down from the top of the city wall.
Among them is Qin Mo.
With one slash of the sword, the roaring black bear demon was cut into two.
In terms of high-end combat power, the Ghost King Sect is not inferior at all and ensures order on the battlefield.
The attack of the beasts did not stop because of the setback. Following the group of low-level ferocious beasts were groups of intermediate-level ferocious beasts and even high-level ferocious beasts.
Not only are the skins of these ferocious beasts tougher, they are also difficult for ordinary arrows to penetrate.
More importantly, they have more vigorous blood and stronger vitality. Even if they are hit by arrows, they can still continue to charge, roar, and reveal their blood-sucking fangs.
They stepped on the corpses of low-level ferocious beasts and climbed up the city wall more easily.
The casualties of the Ningzhou defenders began to increase at a rate visible to the naked eye. Although the disciples of the Ghost King Sect had tried their best, their numbers were limited after all, and there would always be times when they could get away with it.
It is difficult for ordinary soldiers to deal with such ferocious beasts.
There were dangers everywhere on the city walls. In this situation, the Ghost King, Qin Mo and others could only send out the inner disciples of the Ghost King Sect to fight. They were all cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and each of them had a magic weapon.
It is much more lethal than players.
When these inner disciples took action and killed the ferocious beast, it was just like cutting vegetables or melons. With a flick of the knife, the dog's head fell to the ground and blood gushed out.
All the Ghost King Sect disciples had grim grins on their faces, and they seemed to be enjoying this feeling very much.
With their support, the danger that had just occurred was forcibly suppressed, and the rhythm of the war returned to the human side.
Archers, crossbows, and catapults are still continuing to output, madly harvesting the lives of ferocious beasts.
On the top of the city wall, tens of thousands of young and strong men who were temporarily recruited struggled to smash down huge trees and stones. In order to deal with the ferocious beasts and raise supplies for defending the city, the people of Yongcheng did not hesitate to demolish their own houses.
Some people even donated the only half bottle of lard left in their home, heated it up to boiling water, and poured it into the air.
Who could have imagined that with the help of cultivators suppressing the monsters, the military and civilians in the mortal world could unleash such tremendous destructive power?
The two forces complement each other.
The seemingly invincible beast tide was actually being consumed bit by bit without even causing any big waves. It really lived up to the name of a natural disaster.
"roar!!!"
Behind the herd, deafening roars rang out one after another, filled with anger, confusion, and indomitable will.
Qin Mo's eyes focused, he sensed that there were at least two seventh-grade monsters in the herd, who were the "behind-the-scenes commanders" of this beast tide.
But there is still no trace.
Along with this roar, the surging beasts finally used their killer move.
The remaining thousands of ninth-grade monsters and more than two hundred eighth-grade monsters rushed towards Yongcheng from all directions at the same time. The earth began to tremble again, and even the city walls seemed to be shaking.
Their target was obviously the city gates.
But I have learned to be smart.
Blocked by the tall city walls, the ferocious beasts died in large numbers at the hands of the defenders' arrows. They had no killing effect at all and simply caused trouble.
Only by breaking the city gate and charging into the city can we win in the chaos.
"Ah~~~"
The Zhulong, Yellow Bird, and Black Water Snake that guarded the city gates were all filled with anger as if they had been provoked.
Fighting,
Finally entered the most tragic stage.
With the addition of a large number of monsters, the momentum of those ferocious beasts that were still fighting increased greatly. They seemed to have gone berserk and attacked the enemy like crazy.
Disciples of the Ghost King Sect began to suffer casualties...
It was under such circumstances that the true disciples such as Monk Shasheng and Yan Hui, as the last remaining force, finally joined the battle.
"brush!"
The Dragon-Slaying Sword was unsheathed again, turning into sword beams and killing into the group of monsters.
Qin Mo took action.
With great tacit understanding, Ghost King, Gui Li, Qinglong, You Ji and other masters attacked almost at the same time. They were all extremely ruthless and experienced in Taoism, and they took the initiative to kill their way into the group of monsters.
Qin Mo had no intention of catching the two seventh-grade monsters hiding behind the scenes.
His purpose,
It is not just about repelling this wave of attack by the beasts, but about destroying them completely.
Under this tense and orderly deployment, with the help of three ancient ferocious beasts: Zhulong, Yellow Bird and Black Water Mystical Snake, the beast tide that seemed unstoppable was actually blocked.
Every bit of strength in the city was utilized to the maximum.
If there had not been the first wave of harvest by the city defending army, facing such a large number of low-level ferocious beasts, the Ghost King Sect would have been so exhausted from killing that they would have no energy left to deal with the following attacks.
From this we can see that the power of the mundane world cannot be ignored.
“Roar~~~”
“Roar~~~”
Seeing that the beasts were being destroyed by humans at a speed visible to the naked eye, the two seventh-grade beasts hiding in the back, which were also one of the thirteen beasts under the Beast God,
Finally I couldn't help but stand up.
Qin Mo was curious and looked up. They were actually two huge white skeleton monsters with white bones all over their bodies. They looked huge, like an ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The empty eyes were burning with a faint blue flame.
So disappointed...
