Therefore, Yanyun got a quiet and independent room without having to share a room with others.
In the next few days, he studied the fifth level of the Vajra Art alone in his room.
According to the original method of practicing Mingwang Jue, you only need to use your own magic power to practice, which is very convenient.
However, now that he has changed to practice the Vajra Art, he must use the technique of spiritual energy infusion to make any progress.
Faced with a brand new way of cultivation, he deeply felt that before practicing, he must first be familiar with and understand it before he can truly enter the world of cultivation.
However, what surprised him was that after the third day, Yan Yun suddenly left the inn and disappeared without a trace.
Half a day later, he came back quietly. Although a few concerned people noticed his departure, most people were unaware of it.
However, on the seventh day, Yan Yun was sitting in the room, habitually sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes slightly closed.
Suddenly a huge bell sounded from outside the house, and the sound buzzed up to the sky, making the entire inn tremble.
Yan Yun was startled by the sudden loud noise and immediately opened his eyes.
I was surprised to find that the rumbling bells not only did not stop, but continued one after another.
Along with the sound of the bells came the passionate sound of horns in the city, one after another, as if they were blown simultaneously in every corner of the city.
Yan Yun, frowning, quickly opened the door and walked quickly to the yard.
The scene in front of me was chaos, and the guarding knights walked out of the house one after another.
Holding weapons or wearing armor, the expressions on their faces vary from eagerness to try, to anxiety and fear.
At this moment, a burly man walked out of the side yard. That man was Zhang Kui, nicknamed the Scar-faced Man.
He looked seriously, scanned the noisy crowd with sharp eyes, and shouted loudly to stop their chaotic behavior.
The words of the scar-faced man were like orders, causing the guarding knights to quickly quiet down and return to their posts.
Seeing this scene, Yan Yun smiled and nodded.
It is understood that Zhang Kui has been leading this team for more than ten years, which fully proves his high prestige.
At this time, he happened to meet Yan Yun, and Zhang Kui immediately invited him to go with him to observe the scale and type of the beast tide.
Even a large-scale beast tide can be divided into different sizes, and the types of beasts in the herd also have different strengths and weaknesses.
When Yan Yun heard Zhang Kui's suggestion, he nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Actually, Yan Yun didn't pay too much attention to the "beast tide" composed of ordinary beasts and low-level monsters, but he was still full of curiosity deep in his heart.
Therefore, he readily accepted the proposal and decided to follow Zhang Kui.
When the two rode a giant unicorn wolf to the city wall, they found that the situation outside had changed dramatically.
The originally bustling and bustling street has now become empty and quiet, with only a few pedestrians passing by in a hurry, looking nervous.
The number of beast carriages on the streets has increased several times compared to usual, and carriages pulled by one or several monsters are speeding past everywhere.
In addition, there are some knights wearing Anyuan City guard uniforms driving the unique one-horned giant wolf of Tiandong Company, and they are also running among them.
While galloping, these knights loudly announced the coming of the beast tide and the order of martial law in the city.
The main content of the order is that all ordinary citizens, except for body refiners and soldiers in the city, must strictly abide by the regulations and stay at home and are not allowed to go out at will, otherwise they will face severe punishment.
Just as Yan Yun and Zhang Kui were preparing to head to the nearest city wall, they were on top of a towering building located in the south of Anyuan City.
A tall man in purple robes stood in front of one of the tower windows. He put his hands behind his back and stared deeply into the distance, his expression gloomy and severe.
After hearing Zhang Kui’s detailed description, a complex wave of emotions surged deep in Yan Yun’s heart.
The word "Silver Wolf" undoubtedly reminded him of the Silver Moon of the past.
This woman is a giant silver wolf, and she calls herself a member of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan.
However, Yan Yun is not sure whether these silver wolves are related to Yinyue by blood.
However, regardless of whether this speculation was true or not, it did not provide any substantial help to the predicament he was currently facing, so he quickly put it behind him.
“If there are just these ordinary wolves, even if they are large in number, they will not be a concern when we humans have tall and solid city walls as barriers.”
“The real reason is that What people worry about is that the beasts are often led by low-level monsters that have opened up their wisdom.”
"There are also many mutant beasts mixed in between ordinary beasts and monster beasts. These mutant beasts."
"Although they are not as magical as the mutant monsters, they are better than ordinary beasts. It's terrifying enough for human beings."
"Not only are they huge, powerful, and agile, even ordinary low-level body refiners have trouble dealing with them when fighting alone."
The scar-faced man explained with a stern expression.
“It’s so difficult! Is the proportion of such mutated beasts in the herd high?”
Yan Yun asked with a frown.
“Basically, one mutant will appear in every thousand beasts.”
After Zhang Kui pondered for a moment, he gave an uncertain answer.
“A thousand?” Yan Yun looked at the blue sea of beasts in the distance again, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Although he could not accurately count the number of these green wolves, he could at least judge that the number reached millions.
In the face of such a huge number, even if the number of mutant wolves does not reach tens of thousands, there are probably around several thousand.
Such a large number of mutated beasts indeed constitute a fatal threat in an urban offensive and defensive battle that will not involve the participation of Dan-level monks.
"So, where are we going next?" Yan Yun looked at Zhang Kui and asked.
“We need to check the status of other herds.”
Zhang Kui replied with a sigh. Obviously, he is not optimistic about the future of this beast tide.
"Are you worried that we won't be able to hold on to this city?" Yan Yun asked with a smile.
"I do have some concerns. Cities that were captured and massacred by beast herds in the past."
"Most of them are small cities like Anyuan City that were built less than ten thousand years ago, and they happen to be Catching up with the outbreak of a large-scale beast tide, and due to lack of preparation in advance, the city was eventually lost."
"In addition, this. There were also flying monster birds such as leopard beasts in a beast tide. "
"Although there may not be too many of them, every leopard beast has become one from the day it was born. It is a first-level monster. "If we cannot effectively resist the attack from the sky, the situation will become very critical."
Zhang Kui said worriedly.
"Is the leopard beast really that powerful?"
Yan Yun's eyes flashed with doubt, and he seemed to have some doubts about this.
"Leopard beasts may not be the strongest individually among the demon birds that can fly in the beast tide, but they are born with the ability to release poisonous poisons. Ordinary people can die immediately with just one inhalation."
"Therefore, we cannot engage in close combat with them, and the only option is to shoot them down as far away as possible."
"However, this kind of demon bird belongs to the kind of extremely flexible and extremely fast species."
"If our air defense If the power is not enough to suppress them, it will be extremely difficult to completely block their range of activities."
"And Anyuan City's air defense force is the weakest link in the entire defense system. ”
Zhang Kui explained earnestly.
"Since the air defense force is insufficient, why did such a thing happen? Could it be that the city lord of Anyuan City had no knowledge of this matter?"
Yan Yun was very surprised by this.
Now he has learned that in human cities, almost all secular power is in the hands of the city lord.
“Why do you need to know if you know you are unable to resist. It is rumored that the city suffered extremely serious damage in the last beast wave, and the strength accumulated previously was almost exhausted.”
“Can Rebuilding the current defense system is the result of the efforts of the leaders of that city. ”
"It is said that he even asked for assistance from neighboring cities and seconded some weapons and soldiers. As for air protection, it is obviously impossible to provide it."
Zhang Kui actually made such a statement.
After hearing this, Yan Yun couldn't help feeling helpless.
Soon after, Yan Yun followed the scar-faced man to the other side of the city wall.
What appeared in front of him was a red ocean composed of pythons several feet long, which seemed to be more terrifying than the cyan wolves.
The only good thing is that these pythons are not poisonous and do not spit poisonous mist, so it is relatively easy to defend.
However, when Yan Yun saw giant pythons that were several times larger than similar ones emerging from time to time in the python sea, he sighed again.
These mutated pythons entangled together are more than ten feet long, which is not inferior to the red dragon.
If ordinary people are entangled or swallowed by such giant beasts, the consequences will be disastrous.
And because the number of red pythons far exceeds that of green wolves, the number of mutated giant pythons has naturally increased accordingly.
After observing the two groups of animals, Yan Yun found with some regret that he had not seen the leopard beast mentioned by Zhang Kui.
According to the scar-faced man, this kind of demon bird usually lives in a secret place. Unless it is time to attack, the group of demon birds will never show up easily.
“Why hasn’t the herd launched an attack yet?” Yan Yun looked at the group of pythons in the distance and suddenly asked.
“There are intelligent monster leaders in the beast group, so naturally they cannot attack blindly.”
“They must have communicated with the other two beast groups before they decided to launch a joint attack. The timing of the attack is such that we humans cannot respond simultaneously.”
"Usually, this time takes about a whole day."
"We'd better leave quickly. I believe our Tiandong Company has also received instructions to reorganize the city."
"In In this war, we are just insignificant existences and can only Do your best."
"If you are lucky enough to break through the bottleneck or gain insights during the battle, then this adventure will not be in vain."
Zhang Kui finally let out a cold sound. Hum, he led Yan Yun back to the city and finally returned to the inn.
Sure enough, the guards in the inn had received an order from Anyuan City and must immediately set off to somewhere to gather and stand by.
The man in brocade robes and other monks from the Golden Jade Sect had already left early.
Zhang Kui issued the order without hesitation, and more than 200 guards from Tiandong Company quickly geared up and left the inn in a mighty manner.
At this time, private teams recruited by merchants and body refiners can be seen everywhere on the streets.
However, their numbers are generally not as numerous and strong as the Tiandong Merchant Guards, ranging from five or six to dozens of people walking in groups.
Yan Yun and others naturally attracted countless eyes as they walked along. Especially those knights riding giant one-horned wolves are even more eye-catching.
After all, this mount called Suanlang is one of the few war beasts domesticated by humans in the spiritual world.
Each wolf has been carefully cultivated and its wild nature has been eliminated before it can cooperate with the knight tacitly and display amazing fighting power, so its value is naturally high.
Only a trading firm with strong financial resources like Tiandong Trading Company can afford to purchase so many wolf war beasts for the escort team.
The crowd and the pedestrians on the street were led to a large square near a city wall. This wall is the section facing the green wolf herd.
Thousands of strong young men with bare hands, as well as various teams and individual practitioners with different characteristics have gathered on the square.
Although there are a very small number of individuals riding wolf beasts, considering the large number of spectators including many knights from the Tiandong Chamber of Commerce, there are currently less than two hundred such beasts.
Around the square, rows of heavily armed soldiers from Anyuan City standing to maintain order.
A man wearing a silver battle armor and exuding the heroic temperament of a middle-aged man is located in the corner of the square.
He was whispering to an elegant Confucian scholar and a profound monk who were surrounding him, as if he were the leader of the crowd.
When Yan Yun saw this middle-aged man in silver armor, his eyes immediately became extremely sharp.
It turned out that this person was the gatekeeper general they met when they first broke into the city gate.
On the left and right sides of the silver-armored middle-aged man, it was obvious that they were the two primates from the world of immortality who were responsible for escorting their team into Anyuan City.
No matter what magical abilities the middle-aged man in silver armor possesses, under such circumstances, he was able to save two people from being executed. This situation is really rare.
At this time, the middle-aged man in silver armor obviously noticed that the crowd was gradually approaching saturation, so he waved his arm without hesitation, signaling the soldiers behind him to start taking action.
A soldier with a loud voice quickly stepped forward and shouted a series of well-prepared orders.
First of all, the order requires that all knights equipped with mounts on the scene be selected and formed into a separate cavalry team.
Subsequently, some land vehicles - tortoise carts - appeared around the square. The soldiers unloaded a large number of weapons and equipment from the turtle carts, and also distributed a small amount of armor to the strong young people. (End of this chapter)
