Chapter 174 The demon girl and the beast tide

Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain Range, the outskirts of the branch.

Song Yong hid in a tree hole, with two breath-hiding charms attached to his body and a turtle breath pill in his mouth to minimize his presence.

He is a member of the Shangyang City demon hunting team - the Thunder Cloud Team.

Like most monster hunting teams, the Thunder Cloud Team makes a living by hunting monsters, but occasionally also takes part-time tasks such as intelligence, killers, and bodyguards.

After all, you have to live and practice.

Song Yong appeared here because he was entrusted by the Zhou family to investigate the internal situation of the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range.

As far as he knew, there were many demon hunting teams receiving missions.

The Zhou family is a beast-controlling family, and is now the director of the Spiritual Beast Department of Shangyang City. If all spiritual beast and monster trades in the market are to proceed smoothly, the Zhou family cannot be offended.

Otherwise, if you work hard to hunt down monsters and bring them to the market, no one will take them, and you will have to digest them internally.

Therefore, any demon hunting team in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains will give face to the Zhou family.

Besides, the reward given by the Zhou family this time was not stingy.

Song Yong has been hiding in the tree hole for three days.

He was very patient. In order to hunt down a peak-level spotted leopard, he spent three months observing the living habits of the spotted leopard.

Finally, he took the opportunity to feed the anesthetic Shenxian Zui to the spotted leopard's prey in advance.

The greatest wisdom of man is to use tools.

In the end, the Flower-Eyed Leopard became his trophy and helped him break through the realm in the later stages of Qi training.

Not far away by the pool.

A gray long-eared demon rabbit was leaning sideways, with its ears erect. Even when drinking water, it did not forget to be alert to its surroundings. It licked the water with small mouthfuls, and traces of blood swayed in the water.

The red eyes of the long-eared demon rabbit were wide open, with a trace of bloodlust.

This is an advanced monster beast that has just awakened its demon power, and it has just eaten meat.

Right now.

A black shadow on the water gradually expanded, and a huge mouth broke through the water and bit into the long-eared demon rabbit.

Wow!

Giant water splashes fell like rain.

It was a big-headed fish that was about ten feet long. The head alone took up less than half of the body. It opened its big mouth, revealing two rows of sharp teeth.

The long-eared demon rabbit retreated with bulging muscles, and the hair all over its body exploded like a porcupine. With a single kick, it fled away like an arrow from a string.

The two move almost simultaneously.

The moment the giant mouth appeared, the long-eared demon rabbit had already tensed its muscles.

However, the huge body of the big-headed demon fish represents the tyrannical power of the demon. It opened its mouth, and gusts of wind blew out of thin air.

A small whirlpool appeared in its mouth.

After all, the long-eared demon rabbit is just a demon beast that has just entered the level and cannot resist this powerful suction.

Bang!

A ball of blood exploded in the mouth of the big-headed fish.

It all happened almost in a blink of an eye.

That is to say, the big fish jumps out of the water, then opens its mouth to bite and suck, and then falls down by gravity to create a huge puddle.

The hunt is over.

Just as the big-headed fish was about to sink into the pool, a big, fluffy hand descended from the sky and scooped up a handful of water from the pool.

The big fish is in the water.

It was a giant ape that was fifty-six meters tall and looked like a mountain. The big-headed fish that was so fierce just now had now become its meal.

Click, click, click!

Just like chewing ice cubes, the big-headed fish turned into fresh sashimi in the giant ape's mouth. Blood flowed down the corners of the giant ape's mouth, dyeing its gray-black hair red.

The giant ape swallowed the big-headed fish and actually uttered human words, and the sound sounded in the air like thunder.

"tasty."

Standing on the shoulders of the giant ape was a red-haired girl wearing a red feathered coat. She stamped her feet dissatisfied, her voice as clear as an oriole.

"Silly man, you soiled my new clothes."

A humane smile appeared on the giant ape's face, looking naive.

"There are a lot of beautiful clothes in the human city. I'll grab them all for you."

The girl snorted coldly: "It's vulgar and only knows how to snatch. No wonder we monsters can't beat the human monks. They all use spiritual stones to buy them."

You should also go to the human clan to study, otherwise you will have to stay in the ravine forever and be a local mountain king.

I feel embarrassed even if I bring you out. "

The giant ape giggled: "Xiaoxiao, we are monsters, not humans."

The girl was silent for a while and said impatiently:

"I know, I'm so annoyed, why am I a monster?"

She sat down cross-legged, supported her chin with her little hand, looked ahead, and stopped talking.

The giant ape didn't get angry, he just looked at the girl lovingly, and then strode forward.

Different from before.

This time, every step it takes will leave a huge footprint on the ground, and the ground will tremble.

Behind it were an army of monster beasts of the same size, rolling up dust all over the sky like a tornado.

Monsters are everywhere, as if there is no end.

After a long time.

In the tree hole, Song Yong finally broke out of his immobility.

"Speaking human words, it's... it's the Demon King, and there are many, many second-level demon beasts!"

The pressure of facing the demon king at close range is extraordinary. It is like standing in front of a huge tsunami, with a huge fear that it will be shattered into pieces in the next moment.

He didn't know if he had been discovered by the giant ape demon king.

But probably it won't be noticed if it is discovered, just like a person wouldn't pay attention to the ants under his feet.

"We must notify the city immediately."

Song Yong touched the spirit beast bag at his waist with trembling hands, and saw a white-feathered gray-billed eagle clasped on his arm.

He quickly recorded what he just saw and heard on the transmission note and tied it to the falcon's leg.

"Go quickly, Youlong, and inform the boss about the situation here."

Song Yong throws the falcon.

This falcon is called the White-haired Falcon. It is a descendant of the second-level bird Bald Eagle King. It can fly extremely fast after special training.

After doing all this, Song Yongcai took two more concealment charms and several light body charms on himself, and fled quickly in the opposite direction of the monster army.

…

Shangyang City.

News of the beast tide had already spread throughout the city. The city lord's palace began to set up a refugee camp in the inner city and called on the monks from the outer city to take refuge in the city.

However, this order did not attract the general attention of the lower-level monks.

Because it's against common sense.

Although there are various reports brought by the demon hunting team, most people think that this is a relatively special phenomenon.

For example, a few hundred years ago, there was a scene where monsters swarmed out of the mountains.

It was a demon king deep in the mountains who broke through to the fourth-level demon king. In order to avoid affecting Chiyu, other demon beasts ran to the outer mountains one after another.

But then the Demon King failed to break through, and the demon beasts in the outer mountains returned.

Therefore, there are many conspiracy theorists who believe that everyone is drunk and I am alone, pointing out that this is a real estate speculating method used by inner-city families.

According to gossip, in the past few years, houses in urban areas of the inner city have dropped to bargain prices, and many monks have rented instead of buying.

The major foundation-building forces took the opportunity to acquire housing on a large scale.

Now, taking advantage of the news of the beast tide, houses in the inner city's civilian areas have increased by a full 30% in half a month.

After some well-founded inferences, he also gained many fans.

After all, the standard of living in the inner city is much higher than that in the outer city.

Once you go in and live, unless the city lord's mansion provides free living materials, it won't be long before you lose all your life savings.

Furthermore, according to past experience, the monster army moves slowly. Even if it does come, it will not have time to evacuate.

But no one expected that the beast tide would come so unexpectedly.

Almost at the same time that the intelligence spies from the demon hunting team ahead came back, demonic energy billowing like clouds and mist poured out from the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range.

Boom boom!

There was a loud earthquake-like sound in the distance.

"The beast tide is coming! The beast tide is coming!!!"

In the field outside the city, a monk exclaimed, and the light flew into the air.

But soon, birds and monsters appeared, arriving first and destroying the escape lights one by one.

The monks who had no magical weapons on the ground were running desperately.

The light body talisman, the divine movement talisman, and the speed-increasing talismans shone brightly.

But soon after every flash of spiritual light, it would be swallowed up by the army of monsters, without even making a sound.

On the inner city tower.

Yu Xian and Chen Xiao stood side by side, looking at the monsters coming from all directions, their faces expressionless, but they clenched their fists unconsciously in their sleeves.

He is not as calm as he appears.

He once saw millions of rebels setting up camp, stretching for dozens of miles. The magnificent scene was the most amazing scene in his decades of career.

But at that time, he was an outsider, looking more at appreciation and witness.

This time, one million rebels were replaced by one million monsters, and he changed from a spectator to the protagonist.

The change of identity of his opponent made him, who had always stayed out of the situation, suddenly feel infinite emotions. The aura shone brightly in the sea of ​​consciousness, and he felt that his spirit was constantly rising.

He knew he would be fine.

Because he has a trump card that can win if he plays it.

But when he saw the black clouds and endless groups of monster beasts that were constantly oppressing him with the rolling monster energy, his body still began to tremble.

He couldn't tell if it was excitement or fear.

"After half an hour, close the city gate."

Taking a deep breath, Yu Xian ordered a muscular man on the side.

The muscular man's name is Jiang Wang, the current head of the Jiang family and the head of the law enforcement department.

He is not only a second-level physical cultivator, but also a late-stage foundation-building cultivator. He is the person who carries the cauldron of the Jiang family after the death of Patriarch Jiang.

If he hadn't stood up before, the Jiang family would have been retreating steadily under the pressure of the Lin family.

But now, the Jiang family, which is tightly united under the general manager, and the alchemy Wu family, which has a clear upward trend and has frequent foundation-building monks, are two heroes.

As for the Lin family, which originally stood side by side with the Jiang family.

Because of Patriarch Lin's delay in showing up, and the unabashed targeting of Deputy Director Zhao of the Taxation Department, his power continued to shrink, and he was almost reduced to a second-rate force on the surface.

"yes."

Jiang Wang took the order and came down.

The Law Enforcement Department is the only violent department under the city lord's government. It is responsible for the city's defense. It looks like a beautiful place, but in fact it is mostly dirty work.

The real glory is the Taxation Department headed by the General Manager. Although it is high-risk, the welfare benefits are absolutely first-class, and the various extra income is even more generous.

In addition, the General Manager is also in charge of finance, that is, the executor responsible for distributing money to various departments every year.

Even if Jiang Wang looked down on Yu Xian, the manager who relied on the real person Yu Yin, he had to bow his head for the sake of the spirit stone and the family.

After all, the Lin family's lessons are right in front of them.

On the contrary, Chen Xiao, who had told Yu Xian not long ago to let nature take its course, was now a little intolerant.

"Yixian, it will be some time before the monsters come. If we don't give them half an hour more, we only have half an hour. At most, only a small half of them will be able to come in."

Yu Xian shook his head and said, "As you said, the opportunity has been given to them."

The refugee camp built by the City Lord's Mansion and early warning are his few consciences.

Chen Xiao was speechless for a moment.

…

Half an hour later.

There was a bang.

Without any warning, the city gate began to close slowly.

The many monks and mortals who crowded at the city gate looked horrified and screamed in agony.

"I haven't gone in yet!"

"Let me in!"

Someone wanted to force their way in before the city gate was closed, but found that the gate official looked indifferent and did nothing. He couldn't help but look ecstatic.

"Hurry, hurry up!"

"Damn! Get out of the way!"

The monks with high level of cultivation directly used magic arts with their hands, cast a series of spiritual arts, killed those who stood in front of them, and rushed forward stepping on the corpses of their companions.

There were also monks in the late stage of Qi training who were flying with weapons. At this moment, they didn't care about the air ban regulations and flew directly at low altitude, flying over everyone's heads.

"Damn it, I can't get in, and no one can get in!"

"Father, mother!"

"Hurry up, go home, go home first!"

…

The city gate is finally closed.

It stood there like a silent giant, ignoring the cries of living creatures.

Golden lights lit up at the city gate and city walls.

The city defense formation has been activated, no one can get close, otherwise they will be attacked indiscriminately by the formation.

The remaining people who had not yet entered the inner city fled in all directions, and some ran to their homes, perhaps having already prepared a shelter.

Some ran to the shops in the city, hoping to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune, but the tide of beasts came in such a hurry that many of the treasures had no time to put away.

Some ran outside the city, hoping to escape from the whirlpool before the beast tide completely arrived.

Different choices bring different results.

Yu Xian stood on the city tower and looked at the various behaviors of the people below the city, but there was no fluctuation in his heart.

Once upon a time, the young man who stood on the deck and felt guilty when he looked at the people on both sides of the river kneeling and praying for their lives was now able to ignore the tragedy.

He is powerless to save all sentient beings, all he can save is himself.

Yu Xian turned around and flew into the air. A giant light pillar rose behind him, connecting the sky and the earth. A layer of golden light shield centered on the light pillar and covered the whole city.

When the formation masters who had been waiting for a long time in various parts of the city saw the light pillar rising, they activated the formations they were responsible for almost at the same time.

Then smaller pillars of light rose from everywhere, like pillars supporting the entire city's formation.

As a member of the main formation, Yu Xian finally experienced the power of a complete third-level formation.

The information about the city defense formation flashed in Yu Xian's mind.

The origin of the Xuanyang Golden Light Formation is unknown.

This formation was established by the first-generation Shangyang City garrison real person. After being repaired and improved by dozens of subsequent generations, it has reached the third-level mid-level level.

The formation has three major killing moves: Golden Shield, Needle Rain, and Golden Light. The formation also has auxiliary effects such as air confinement, suppression, and energy gathering.

Compared with Patriarch Zhao's four-color Youhuang Formation with distinct changes, the Xuanyang Golden Light Formation is also a formation, but it has integrated all the formations into one.

Even a small fragment of the formation can exert great power.

However, opening the third-level formation consumes a huge amount of spiritual power, which is more than a hundred times higher than that of the second-level formation. The second-level high-grade spiritual veins under Shangyang City are far from being able to support the formation, and the auxiliary spiritual stone formation is also needed as auxiliary energy.

Therefore, even the powerful General Manager Yu completely activated the city defense formation for the first time.

After all, in theory, all the spiritual stones used in the city defense formation belong to you.

After personally taking charge of the third-level formation, Yu Xian felt countless inspirations arouse in his mind, as if he saw the prototype of his own original formation.

The second-level high-grade formation mage was defeated at this time!
