Chapter 129 The Wisdom of People Outside the City
Although there are extremely lethal heavy weapons such as city defense cannons and large bed crossbows, the early beast tide did not put too much pressure on Zhaojia Village.
But everyone knows that the real test is yet to come!
Because there were just some ferocious beasts driven over by the spirit beasts in front of them. They didn't have much strength themselves, but they were just in large enough numbers.
The purpose is naturally to consume the human's physical strength and create a breakthrough opportunity for the spiritual beasts behind.
The professionals here in Zhaojiacun are obviously very familiar with the tricks of these spiritual beasts. Although the previous attacks look powerful, they are actually mainly using long-range crossbows, bows and spells to attack long-range strikes.
It was also to preserve his strength and wait for the attack from the spiritual beast.
When Lin Manman discovered that the people in Zhaojiacun were conserving their strength, he decisively chose to let the spiritual pets use the minimum consumption to help eliminate the beasts in front.
Her knowledge of the beast tide was limited to books, so the wisest choice at this time was to follow what the people in Zhaojiacun did.
"Attention everyone! The spirit beast is attacking!!"
Zhao Gui's eyesight was far better than that of others. He discovered that there were some fast-moving beast shadows among the beasts. They took advantage of the gap between their attacks and began to rush toward them quickly.
"The first and second groups continue to shoot, and the third group retreats to prepare the animal trap!"
Following Zhao Gui's order, three groups of ordinary people on the city wall fired crossbows alternately. One group stepped back and took out the animal traps that had been prepared behind them.
These animal traps are made of the sinews and bones of spiritual animals. The four corners of the animal traps are also filled with hard ore, making them look very tough and heavy.
An animal trap requires three adult males to unfold smoothly. After the animal trap is unfolded, the warrior takes it and swings it out at the spiritual beasts rushing below.
The animal traps, which were about three meters long and wide, were rotated and thrown out. The spirit beasts that were stepping on the bodies of the beasts in the front row and trying to jump up the wall were tied up by these animal traps, and then fell down and smashed towards them. ground.
Looking at the spirit beasts on the ground who were tied up in animal traps and couldn't break free for a long time.
Lin Manman was very surprised that these tools made by people outside the city according to local conditions could be so useful.
After successfully restraining the first batch of spiritual beasts that rushed up, the morale of Zhaojiacun went up to a higher level.
Seeing that the traps under the city had been almost destroyed, the beasts in the herd had also been cleared away.
The originally dense beast tide could now clearly distinguish which ones were spiritual beasts and which ones were scurrying beasts.
At this time, Zhao Gui also issued the final instruction, "All warriors above level three rush down with me. The others stay and continue shooting crossbows. Don't stop!"
After Zhao Gui finished speaking, he slung the somewhat exaggerated bow on his body, took out a dark wood chopping knife with no visible material from his waist, and jumped down from the city wall.
Seeing this scene, Lin Manman couldn't help but click her tongue. Uncle Zhao Gui is obviously a long-range warrior. Why don't he use his bow and arrow now and take out a knife to chop him?
Following him were nearly twenty male and female warriors, of all ages.
Their weapons include stone hammers, broadswords, and iron rods. They all look like very simple and unpretentious weapons, but their power in their hands cannot be underestimated.
Except for Uncle Zhao Gui, who was leading the team from the front, the others jumped off the wall and formed groups of three. You attacked and I retreated, and they cooperated very well.
Lin Manman used the system to scan the spirit beasts under the city wall, except for the spirit beasts that had been restrained by animal traps and those that had been injured and lost their combat effectiveness.
There were probably less than forty spirit beasts, none of which were higher than level six, so she asked Brother Pingtou and Yinyue to go down and help.
Amber's level is slightly lower, so to be on the safe side, she squatted on the wall with him to provide support.
Before Brother Pingtou and Yinyue went down, Lin Manman activated his amplification talent and summoned Hongyu beside him.
With the crisis at hand, Hongyu couldn't care less about letting Hongyu continue to rest.
After Hongyu's growth during this period, its coiled body has surpassed that of Yinyue, but it is still some distance away from Brother Pingtou. However, it is still very easy to teleport Yinyue back in an emergency. As for Brother Flathead, he has a very high defense, he can also shield himself, and he has domain skills at his side.
It now has the strength to deal with level 4 spirit beasts on its own. As long as a level 6 spirit beast doesn't come over, it can still escape when it encounters a level 5 spirit beast.
And as long as it is within the sensing range of her soul, she can recall it immediately.
When she was directing Brother Pingtou and Yin Yue to help under the city wall, a level five eight-winged poisonous wasp hidden under the corpse of a beast suddenly appeared. Taking advantage of the lack of attention of everyone in Zhaojia Village, it launched a sneak attack on one of the team members.
"Be careful!" the companions who spotted him shouted loudly.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The nearest male warrior, who looked to be in his early twenties, was pierced by the eight-winged poisonous wasp's tail needle.
Although two other level five warriors arrived in time and fought off the eight-winged poisonous bee, the warrior was still infected by the toxin on his tail needle, which infected his entire arm.
"Axu, how are you?" One of the female soldiers seemed to have a good relationship with him. Seeing that he was injured, she quickly approached him and protected him.
Seeing that a clan member was injured, other people in Zhaojia Village stopped fighting separately and gradually moved closer to Zhao Zixu.
"The poison has spread throughout the entire arm. I will take him back to the city wall. You gather your formation and don't be scattered." When Zhao Gui saw that Zhao Zixu was not in good condition, he immediately decided to take him back for treatment first.
"Third brother, I'll leave this place to your command for the time being. I'll be back soon." He looked at another sixth-level soldier, who was thin and had a serious expression.
"Well, don't worry."
Zhao Gui picked up Zhao Zixu and sprinted quickly. When he reached the bottom of the wall, he stepped hard and he jumped up high.
Once on the city wall, he immediately carried the person to the priest. By this time, the poison in Zhao Zixu's body had already infected his chest.
"Quick, quick, quick! Save people!"
The priest of Zhaojiacun had already used the skill before he opened his mouth, but he was only a fourth-level priest, and the poison of the fifth-level eight-winged poisonous wasp could not be eliminated in one go.
Lin Manman had already seen all this. There were not many professionals scattered in all directions in Zhaojiacun, and missing a fourth-level warrior would also be a considerable loss of combat power.
So she immediately asked Xiao Qi to help. When Xiao Qi upgraded to level two, he awakened the purification skill.
The purification skill does not have much healing effect, but it is very effective in removing toxins.
With Xiaoqi's help, the pastor of Zhaojiacun quickly stabilized Zhao Zixu's injury.
"Thank you."
The toxin gradually faded away, and Zhao Zixu had the strength to speak. When he saw Xiao Qi using skills on him, he knew that Lin Manman was helping him.
After all, apart from her, there is no other beast master in the village who can control spiritual pets.
"You're welcome, I still rely on you for protection now."
Lin Manman smiled slightly. After all, her strength was lower. Although the people of Zhaojiacun themselves also had to resist the beast tide, based on their strength, one more person than her was no more, and one less than her was no less.
It was a great help to her that they could accept her into the village to fight against the beast tide together.
"Not good!!! Uncle Gui is injured!!!"
Zhao Zixu had just finished his treatment when a few low-level professionals who were left on the wall suddenly shouted anxiously.
Lin Manman was shocked. Zhao Gui was already the top fighting force in Zhaojiacun. If he was injured, it would not be good news for the next battle.
