Chapter 172 Beast Tide, Population
Eastern Extreme Region.
Qingguang City, a medium-sized city on the border of Xingluo State, is currently being attacked by a group of monsters.
In the East Extreme Region, human monks regard monsters as resources for cultivation, and most of the monsters feed on humans.
The two are almost incompatible.
Therefore, in the East Extreme Region, it is very common for human monks to launch sieges and hunts against groups of monsters, or for monsters to launch a beast tide against human cities.
Not only that, because there are no rules.
It is also common for the human forces in the East Extreme Region to attack each other.
So if you want to gain a foothold in the East Extreme Region, in addition to guarding against attacks by monsters, you also need to guard against the prying eyes of other human forces.
In this case, tough strength is essential.
For example, the city lord of Qingguang City, Zhou Qingguang, is a monk in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.
Zhou Qingguang, dressed in an elegant outfit, looks like a gentleman.
At this moment, facing the surging tide of monsters.
Zhou Qingguang is standing in the sky, personally presiding over the fourth-level city defense formation of Qingguang City, looking worriedly towards the depths behind the tide of monsters.
There, Zhou Qingguang felt several auras that were stronger than him.
If those monster beasts hiding in the dark take action.
Even with the help of the fourth-level city defense formation, Zhou Qingguang was not sure that he could resist the attacks of tens of thousands of monsters and at the same time block the attacks of a few monsters.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qingguang looked at the three monks in the Purple Mansion Realm below and ordered:
"Heifeng, Qingyu, Xueyu, you lead the escort team to speed up the elimination of the siege monsters. The speed.”
“Yes, City Lord!”
Zhou Qingguang's move was to weaken the power of the beast tide as early as possible before the fourth-level monsters took action.
Most of the monsters that were driven here to launch the first wave of attacks on Qingguang City were first- and second-level monsters.
With the strength of the Qingguang City Guards, it is not difficult to eliminate these monsters.
It’s just that this will consume a lot of their spiritual energy, which is not conducive to the enemy in the later stage.
However, at this point, facing the endless tide of beasts, Zhou Qingguang has no other choice.
Heifeng, Qingyu, and Xueyu are all the guard commanders of Qingguang City, and they respectively control the three monk guard teams of Qingguang City.
The three people who were getting ready to go responded without hesitation after hearing Zhou Qingguang's order.
Beginning to lead their respective escorts, relying on the city defense formation, to eliminate the monsters that had begun to attack Qingguang City.
I saw the Qingguang City guard team moving.
Other monks in the city who were not under the control of Qingguang City also started to attack the monsters outside the city wall in a tacit understanding.
How can there be any eggs in the nest?
These monks who were temporarily trapped in Qingguang City by the beast tide are not stupid. They know that they and Qingguang City are now grasshoppers on the same rope.
They are also very willing to take action against the monsters outside the city without harming themselves.
The sound of rumbling resounded throughout the sky in an instant, and various spells emitted dazzling brilliance, fiercely bombarding the group of monsters.
In an instant, it caused huge damage to the group of monster beasts.
roar!
The bloody excitement made these monsters attacking the city even more violent.
Various energy attacks, or monster claws and fangs, fell hard into the condensed barrier of the city defense formation.
Let the barrier of the city defense formation continue to set off waves of violent waves.
In Qingguang City.
Feeling the movement outside the city, many ordinary people in the city were praying worriedly.
Pray that Qingguang City can survive this disaster, and that they and their relatives can survive smoothly.
In the East Extreme Region, conflicts between monsters and humans occur from time to time.
If ordinary people want to survive, they can only rely on the immortal cultivators.
Cities or villages that are simply composed of ordinary people cannot be said to be non-existent in the East Ji Region, but they are very rare.
A few such cities or villages are mostly far away from the gathering places of monsters and beasts, and are in places lacking spiritual energy.
So the ordinary people in the East Ji Region are basically under the rule of the monks.
Their living environment and style all depend on the rules or mood set by the ruler.
Although the foundation of the power of immortal cultivators comes from the common world.
Most forces are not too harsh on the ordinary people living under their command.
But among immortal cultivators, there will inevitably be some scum or moody lunatics.
It is inevitable that some ordinary people will live in dire straits throughout their lives, or even for generations.
So for ordinary people, it is extremely lucky to find a city with stable order and not harsh treatment of themselves.
As the lord of Qingguang City, Zhou Qingguang is not strict with the rules set by the ordinary people in the city.
So now that Qingguang City is in crisis, these ordinary people living in the city naturally hope that Qingguang City can survive it safely.
Only when it usually gives them hope to live, and when they encounter danger, will they pray that Qingguang City has hope to survive the disaster.
"Don't be afraid, grandpa. When Yin Yin grows up and can practice, Yin Yin will protect grandpa."
In a bungalow in Qingguang City, a little girl of seven or eight years old , lying in his grandfather's arms to comfort his grandfather.
With his little head tilted, his two big eyes were looking at the monks flying above the city without feeling any fear.
Her grandfather just gently stroked her little head with his hand and said nothing.
The eyes looking outside the city revealed deep worry in the turbidity.
Suddenly.
Three sharp and piercing roars of beasts came from outside the city:
"Moo!" "Howl!" "Beep!"
Many monks in Qingguang City After clearing out the siege beasts and consuming a lot of spiritual energy.
Two late fourth-order monsters and one peak fourth-order monster, carrying a large number of third-order monsters, suddenly descended outside Qingguang City.
A fierce offensive was suddenly launched against the barrier of the city defense formation.
The two late-level fourth-order monsters are an ox and a wolf that have grown in size.
The fourth-level peak monster is a huge bird.
“Not good!”
Facing three fourth-level monsters that far exceeded his own cultivation level, and thousands of first-, second-, and third-level monsters attacking together, Zhou Qingguang's expression suddenly changed.
Subconsciously instill a large amount of spiritual power into the city defense formation to increase the power of the city defense formation.
Bang! Bang! Bang.
Click! Click! Ka.
As the dull bombardment sounded, cracks began to appear on the Qingguang City's protective barrier and gradually spread to the surrounding areas.
"Uh-huh!"
The city defense formation encountered an attack that far exceeded its own defense. Zhou Qingguang, who had been in charge of the city defense formation, suffered a direct backlash and groaned.
After calming down the surging Qi and blood in his body.
Zhou Qingguang looked unwillingly at the two late fourth-order monsters outside the city, and one peak fourth-order monster, and said bitterly:
"Could it be that all my hard work will cost me Destroyed? ”
Looking at the millions of ordinary people in the city behind him who had no cultivation level, Zhou Qingguang gritted his teeth and secretly transmitted the order:
"Heifeng, Qingyu, Xueyu, lead the escort team, prepare Break out! "
He still has a great revenge to take, so he can only feel sorry for the residents of the city who are attached to his command.
Hearing this, Qingyu couldn’t bear it, and couldn’t help but say:
“The city lord, are you from the city?”
"Give up, we can't protect them."
The only person who responded to the whisper was Zhou Qingguang's cold command.
This is indeed the case. If they stay, they can only be buried with everyone in Qingguang City.
"Qingyu, listen to the city lord! There is nothing we can do."
Heifeng on the side couldn't help but persuade Qingyu.
Only Xue Yu remained silent and did not express any opinions. There is no right or wrong in this matter, staying is just a fearless sacrifice, and the people in the city have very few ties to monks like them.
Ordinary emotions can no longer influence the monks' hearts and influence them to make the final decision.
Perhaps this choice is not in line with humanism, but when nothing can be done, it is the most rational choice.
In the end, Qingyu could only grit her teeth and looked at the residents in the city with a shameful expression.
Click! Click!
Seeing the cracks on the barrier getting bigger and bigger, Zhou Qingguang shouted:
“Let’s go!”
Suddenly, Zhou Qingguang, Heifeng, Qingyu, Xueyu and A small number of members of the escort team fled towards the other side of Qingguang City.
Although there are groups of monster beasts in that direction, most of them are low-level monster beasts.
Breaking out from there, the probability of success is much greater.
When Zhou Qingguang fled, most of the other monks in Qingguang City followed him cleverly.
As for most of the remaining members of the Qingguang City Guards, and a small number of other monks, they did not choose to escape immediately.
They are all natives of Qingguang City. These guards are not very old, and there are still concerns in the city that they cannot let go of.
So they did not escape immediately, but returned to their homes, preparing to take their families with them.
At this time, the ordinary people in the city fell into despair when they saw the scene of the monks escaping high in the sky.
The monks can escape, but where can they escape?
Many people, facing the threat of death, began to cry out for help:
"No! Don't leave, City Lord, please take me with you!"
" Erlang, Erlang, I am your distant aunt, please help me and take me with you!”
"City Lord, please, please take my daughter with you! City Lord"
There were also many people who lost hope and began to curse unbridled:
"Zhou Qingguang, you Don't die!"
"Die! Why can't I have spiritual roots?"
"Jie Jiejie, you can't escape. Waiting for you below!”
For a time, all kinds of conditions in the human world and all kinds of appearances of all living beings are all displayed.
Faced with the danger of death, the dark side hidden in many people's hearts is completely inspired.
Bang!
With a crisp loud noise, starlight fragments began to scatter above Qingguang City.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of Qingguang City, the barrier of the city protection formation lost the control of Zhou Qingguang.
Facing the continuous attacks from the monster beasts, it only lasted for a moment before completely collapsing.
"Grandpa, I'm afraid, oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo environment environment situation on situation.
He buried his little face in his grandfather's arms and cried in fear.
“Yinyin, don’t be afraid, grandpa is here!”
The old man also had tears streaming down his face. His son and daughter-in-law died early, and his granddaughter Yinyin was his only concern.
Could it be that this time, their grandfather and grandson are going to die together in the mouth of the monster?
Thinking of this, the old man hugged his granddaughter Yinyin tightly.
Unwilling to give up, he struggled to stand up, closed the door, and looked for everything in the room to strengthen his door.
Even if there is no hope, he will fight until the end for his granddaughter.
"Moo, howl, howl, roar!"
As the city defense formation shattered, the roars of various beasts rose and fell.
The beasts excitedly stepped through the walls of Qingguang City, preparing to go deep into Qingguang City, massacre the humans in this city, and have a feast.
All kinds of screams in Qingguang City resounded through the sky.
At the critical moment, a light but powerful message sounded:
"Suppress the boundary!"
Suddenly, the phantom of a glazed pagoda appeared above Qingguang City, directly suppressing the herd of beasts who were planning to go on a killing spree.
Aware of this change, Qingguang City fell silent for an instant, and the light of hope rekindled in the eyes of the people in the city.
The little girl who had her head buried in her grandfather's arms raised her head and looked at her grandfather. While sobbing and choking, she said doubtfully:
"Grandpa, how can I still return the favor?" Not dead?”
"Shh!"
His grandfather quickly covered the little girl's mouth and looked warily at the sky above Qingguang City.
At this time.
Ye Qingxuan's figure transformed into Gui Xuanzi has appeared on Qingguang City, staring at the beasts below with cold eyes:
"A bunch of evil beasts, seeking death!"
When he pinched the spell in his hand, the boundary-suppressing tower warmed in his dantian automatically flew out and enlarged, overlapping with the phantom of the glazed pagoda in the void.
The power of suppressing the monster beasts suddenly surged.
The monsters below the fourth level died suddenly under this surge of boundary-suppressing power.
"Moo!" "Howl!" "Beep!"
The three fourth-level monsters kept roaring under the suppression. The ferocious bird was already lying on the ground. , constantly struggling.
The fourth-order energy slowly fluctuated and gathered, and the three fourth-order monsters tried to gather energy to fight back.
But the energy they had just condensed, Ye Qingxuan just used the power of suppressing the boundary to dissipate it directly with just a thought.
“Die!”
Without any words, Ye Qingxuan took out a flying sword again.
The flying sword cut through the sky under the control of divine thoughts, turning into a stream of light and piercing the bodies of three fourth-order monsters.
boom!
The three fourth-level monsters that were still struggling suddenly fell down, causing a cloud of dust.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ye Qingxuan had just killed all the monsters. Zhou Qingguang, who had escaped before, noticed the changes in Qingguang City and returned with the members of the escort team.
Looking at the corpses of monsters and beasts scattered all over the ground, Zhou Qingguang cautiously came not far from Ye Qingxuan, with a smile on his face, he said respectfully:
"Junior Zhou Qingguang, thank you senior for your help!"
Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan glanced at Zhou Qingguang and said playfully:
"You don't need to thank me, since I saved Chenghe people. If you come down, this city and the people in it will naturally come under my command."
"This?"
The smile on Zhou Qingguang's face froze, slightly hesitant.
"What? Do you have any objections?"
Ye Qingxuan glanced at Zhou Qingguang coldly, and Zhou Qingguang was frightened and hurriedly lowered his head and said:
"Juniors don't dare, juniors don't dare, it all depends on the orders of seniors! ”
Although he said this, Zhou Qingguang felt depressed in his heart.
He was unwilling to surrender to others, so he went to Cast City in the border area of Xingluo State in order to avoid the forces in the core area of Xingluo State.
Unexpectedly, the city was developing well, but suddenly it encountered a wave of beasts, and the city was in danger of destruction.
A senior unexpectedly appeared to save the situation, but he didn't expect that this senior would like his city.
Faced with this result, although Zhou Qingguang was a little unwilling, he had no complaints in his heart.
After all, it was he who chose to abandon the entire city in the beginning.
“This may be good!”
Zhou Qingguang looked at the reborn residents of Qingguang City below, his eyes were a little dim, and he seemed to be relieved in his heart.
Ye Qingxuan ignored Zhou Qingguang's expression change.
Standing in the sky above Qingguang City, spiritual power was circulating, and he said loudly:
"My turtle Xuanzi, starting from today, this city and the people in it will return to me. "
"If you are unwilling, you can leave the city within three days."
The Dixuan Realm is different from the Xuanmu Realm. If you want to build a city in the Dixuan Realm for a long time, the population is indispensable.
So, what Ye Qingxuan is interested in is not the city itself, but the population in the city.
He, Ye Qingxuan, wants the people in this city.
