Chapter 240 Cedar Beast
One day, at noon.
The sky is clear outside Luoyunfang City, and the hot sunshine passes through the clouds and shines on every corner of Fang City.
As the news of the outbreak of the monster tide spread throughout all major areas of the Wei Kingdom's immortal world, the popularity of Luoyunfang City also weakened. Some of the more decisive monks left Luoyunfang City and went to larger areas. Qianchuanfang City, or went to the Immortal Realm of Huangyang Kingdom not far next door.
Today, the flow of people in Luoyunfang City is less than 70% of what it was in its heyday, and the business in various large, medium and small shops is sluggish. Except for some war preparation resources such as elixir Fu Ling, which are in high demand, the supply is almost in short supply.
As for other resources, such as elixirs or various classics and documents, almost no one spends financial resources to purchase them at this critical moment.
The formerly bustling streets are now in a state of depression. Occasionally, a few panicked monks pass by, or patrol teams organized by the city are walking around.
Outside of Fang City, on a hilltop dozens of miles to the west, there were several monks sitting in a simple cave, including a member of the Lin family.
Lin Xinglei is the person in charge of the Lin family's stronghold here. He is at the ninth level of Qi refining. He has been stationed here in recent years and is responsible for patrolling a huge area of more than a hundred miles around. He has a very heavy responsibility. Once there is The traces of monsters will be reported to Luoyunfang City immediately, so that they can be prepared.
In addition to him, there are also several casual cultivators recruited, all of whom are at the sixth level of Qi Refining. If it weren’t for the generous rewards given by Fangshi, not many people would be willing to undertake such a dangerous task. Sensitive times take over.
Lin Xinglei was sitting in the main seat, and the two monks below were reporting on the inspection.
Before he left Qingzhu Mountain and followed Lin Shilu to Luoyunfang City, the clan leader made it clear, and Lin Shilu entrusted him with this arduous and dangerous task.
Therefore, over the years, he has been very attentive to inspections and never dared to be careless.
He is well aware of the horror of monster attacks. Once Luoyunfang City is attacked by a large group of monsters, warning in advance can avoid many sacrifices.
Over the past few years, inspections have been carried out every few days, and today it is time for inspections again.
Listening to the monk below reporting that everything was normal and no trace of a large group of monsters was found, Lin Xinglei nodded and let the two of them leave, and his tense nerves relaxed slightly.
However, he became a little worried when he thought that there was another monk patrolling in one direction. He had been out for most of the day and should have come back, but he was still half an hour late.
"Maybe it was delayed for a while!"
Lin Xinglei thought secretly in his heart, which could be regarded as comforting himself.
Recovering his mind, at this moment a message came and stopped in front of him. It was the message from the late monk who had not returned.
He did not dare to delay, and immediately fired a spell and checked the contents.
Soon, his expression changed drastically, and then he turned around and exited the secret room, appearing outside the temporary cave.
Seeing him come out, looking flustered and pale, several casual cultivators gathered over and then asked what happened.
Lin Xinglei hurriedly said: "Fellow Daoist Hu has discovered traces of the monster beast group. To the west, a group of thousands of cedar beasts is coming towards Luoyunfang City. We must rush as soon as possible. Report back to Yunfang City!”
“A monster group composed of thousands of cedar beasts?”
"It's actually a cedar beast, and it's such a huge scale!"
Hearing Lin Xinglei's words, the two monks couldn't help but exclaimed, with incredible expressions on their faces.
Cedar Beast is a second-order monster. It will be in the late second-order after adulthood. Its attack power is extremely terrifying. In addition, the group size is relatively large. Even a small group can easily exceed a hundred. , it is not surprising that some large-scale groups consist of thousands of animals.
But this time, there are actually thousands of cedar beasts forming a legion, marching towards Luoyunfang City, their strength must be extraordinary.
Although the monk who sent the message did not disclose the level strength of the monster beasts, you can imagine that in such a huge group of monster beasts, there will definitely be monster beasts in the late second level, and there may even be more than one.
Thinking of this, Lin Xinglei glanced at several people and quickly ordered: "Fellow Taoists, the situation is too urgent. Staying here will definitely lead to death. We must leave immediately, not only for refuge, but also to convey the news to the country as soon as possible. "
After hearing this, several people came back to their senses. Even if Lin Xinglei didn't say anything, they would not dare to stay here. Once they encountered the monster group head-on, with their cultivation, It will be wiped out in an instant.
A few people nodded and then responded.
Seeing that several people were already sitting on pins and needles, he didn't say much. He took the lead in offering a first-class flying sword, then jumped up, turned into an afterimage, and flew in the direction of Luoyunfang City. go.
The casual cultivators behind him sacrificed a few spiritual weapons and jumped up, following Lin Xinglei's footsteps and leaving the place.
......
Luoyunfang City.
At this time, the formation of Luoyunfang City was in full operation. On the tall city wall, teams of inspection teams crossed and passed by the city wall. They looked serious and were always paying attention to every move around them.
Among the crowd, a member of the Lin family was the first to notice a red light coming from outside Fangshi.
As the red light got closer and closer, he discovered that the figure standing on the spirit sword was undoubtedly Lin Xinglei.
Before anyone arrived, Lin Xinglei took out his family token, and then a loud voice came: "Open the formation quickly, I want to report something important to my elders!"
Seeing Lin Xinglei anxious With an expression on his face, the clan member in charge confirmed the authenticity of the family token, then opened the formation and let Lin Xinglei in.
He immediately greeted him, and then sent a message privately and asked: "Xinglei, what big thing happened?"
After hearing the question, Lin Xinglei hurriedly replied: "Brother , the monster group is coming, prepare for the battle quickly, I will go to see Uncle Fifteen immediately!"
After Lin Xinglei sent the message, he immediately rushed towards the interior of Fang City, leaving behind his face! A dignified tribesman.
After a while, Lin Xinglei saw Lin Shilu. Several members of the Lin family were also present, including Su He and several Foundation-building monks from the Foundation-building family.
Seeing his panic, Lin Shilu secretly thought, could it be that the beast attack was coming and they discovered the traces of the monster army, otherwise I wouldn't have such an expression.
As expected, Lin Xinglei had no scruples and directly told all the information he knew, shocking several casual cultivators.
After hearing the report, Lin Shilu also looked solemn. With his vision and knowledge, it is conceivable that such a huge cedar beast group must have more than one late second-order monster beast. With such a huge ethnic group and such terrifying overall strength, one can imagine the pressure on Luoyunfang City.
"I don't know what's going on at Qingzhu Mountain and Jinjiao Mountain. Since traces of monsters have been found here, there should be some movement in the other two places. Tianming is under the greatest pressure. I don't know what the situation is. Can it withstand the pressure? !”
Lin Shilu thought to himself, his frown making everyone present worried.
"Uncle Fifteen, let's go to the city wall to take a look first, and then make countermeasures as soon as possible!"
Hearing Lin Xingcheng's reminder, Lin Shilu came back to his senses and nodded immediately , left the main hall with a few people and appeared at the entrance of Fangshi.
On the tall city wall, Lin Shilu was standing over the city, with a group of foundation-building monks standing beside him. In addition to the monks from the three major foundation-building families, Su He and several other casual cultivators were also among them.
The group of people looked solemnly and looked toward the west with frowning expressions.
Lin Shilu was hanging in the air, and thousands of people had gathered on the city wall. They were all family monks or casual cultivators who stayed in Luoyunfang City to fight against the attacks of monsters.
He scanned the audience, and a loud voice came: "Comrades, according to the news, an army of monsters will be coming soon. Everyone, be prepared to fight!"
After hearing this, the faces of all the monks changed. Although they were summoned and they were inevitably mentally prepared, everyone was still worried when they heard Lin Shilu, the most advanced person, say it.
Seeing that many monks looked pale, and some seemed to be frightened, Lin Shilu continued: "Comrades, there is no need to panic. There is an old man and seven foundation-building monks in Luoyunfang City, relying on the formation. With legal protection, it shouldn’t be difficult to survive the crisis! ”
After hearing this, most of the monks looked much better.
Luoyunfang City relied on various generous rewards to attract a large number of monks to stay, and also attracted several casual cultivators in the foundation building period. Its overall strength was definitely among the best among the nearby cities.
If even Luoyunfang City cannot resist, the situation in other small cities will probably be even worse.
Thinking of this, some monks on the scene spoke up and echoed: "With Senior Lin and several monks here, and with the second-level high-level defensive formations guarding them, even if they are led by late-level second-level monsters, I will definitely The formation cannot be broken!"
"Yes, as long as it is not a powerful group composed of thousands of monsters, there is no difference between ordinary monster groups seeking trouble for us and seeking death!"
With a few words of ridicule and some jokes, the scene finally returned to calm. Some monks who were eager to make contributions even looked forward to the arrival of the monster group.
Lin Shilu nodded with satisfaction. He would not interrupt these people, nor would he pour cold water on them at this time. Most of the time, confident people can unleash more powerful combat effectiveness.
However, it is not good to underestimate the monster group too much. Arrogant and arrogant people will also suffer when they encounter hard problems.
He coughed, interrupted some noisy sounds, and then said: "What you comrades said is true. The overall strength of Luoyunfang City is at least one level stronger than other small cities. More than twice as much.”
"However, fellow comrades, please do not underestimate the strength of the monster beast group. After all, the monster group has no rules at all. If Luoyunfang City is unlucky and happens to encounter a powerful monster group, it is also very possible. ”
"In this way, don't worry too much, let alone underestimate those beasts. No matter what the size and strength, we will work together to survive this crisis."
"Don't worry, everyone, the Lin family and Fangshi promised All conditions are valid at any time, as long as you If you can meet the reward requirements, you will definitely be rewarded according to your merits and will never default!"
Lin Shilu's words did not undermine everyone's confidence, nor did they look down on the monster group, but they also passionately emphasized the Lin family's commitment! , making the monks on the scene excited again.
"Follow the decree of Senior Lin!"
A group of monks responded in unison, and then each took out various strange spiritual weapons, various talismans and some means of fighting the enemy.
At this time, everyone is almost ready for a battle. As long as the monster group is not strong enough, they can immediately take the initiative and give the monster group a hearty blow.
Seeing this situation, Lin Shilu nodded and started communicating with several foundation-building monks around him.
A few breaths passed, and no one knew what Lin Shilu said. Su He and Luo Chenggu nodded, and the remaining foundation-building monks began to take out their weapons and prepare for a big battle.
Half an hour later.
"Dong dong dong..." As an orderly sound came, the ground was shaking slightly.
Lin Shilu was the first to feel it. Soon, the sound became louder and louder, and the vibration became more and more obvious.
Su He and Luo Chenggu also felt the movement. They frowned and looked at every move in front of them.
Looking around, what is coming is a thick smoke and dust, sweeping over the sky and the earth. The strong wind touches the invisible light curtain, and bursts of sound are heard. The strong wind is blown by the bursts. The law is absorbed and then dissipated between heaven and earth.
The Qi Refining monks inside the formation could only see the overwhelming smoke and dust, and could not find anything special at all.
Feeling this strong wind, it was clear that the monster beast group was running, rolled up due to the huge number, and swept over like waves.
Lin Shilu's face was solemn. Although he had not yet seen the demonic beast group, he could deduce from the heat wave that this demonic beast group was absolutely powerful and there were probably a large number of second-level demonic beasts.
He took a deep breath without showing anything strange, and exchanged a few words with the monks around him.
Soon, the strong wind became stronger and stronger, and the shaking of the earth and mountains became louder and louder. It was obvious that the monster group was about to attack the city.
Due to the thick smoke and dust, Lin Shilu and others did not dare to act rashly. They watched every move in the smoke and dust, waiting for the smoke and dust to dissipate and reveal the traces of the monsters.
No matter how much time passed, the movement gradually stopped, and the smoke slowly dispersed, revealing a small part of the monster beast.
Lin Shilu saw the approaching monster beast for the first time, and it turned out to be the cedar beast group.
Looking around, in front of them, two late second-order cedar beasts raised their heads and were looking in the direction of Lin Shilu.
Behind the two cedar beasts, four mid-level second-order and nine early-level second-level monsters sat cross-legged on the ground, with a greedy expression on their fierce faces.
In addition, as the smoke spread, more than a thousand first-order cedar beasts were revealed.
They all sat cross-legged on the ground, seemingly waiting for the clarion call from the leader of the group to launch an attack.
