Chapter 1280: The Tide of Wild Beasts (1)

Hearing Zhang Kui's words, Han Li felt a little turbulent in his heart.

"Silver Wolf" This naturally reminded him of Silver Moon back then.

This female body is a giant silver wolf, and she also claims to be from the Yinyue wolf clan. I don't know if these silver wolves are the same clan as Yinyue.

But regardless of whether this guess is true or not, it seems that it is of no use to his current situation, so he can only put it aside soon.

"If it's just these ordinary wolves, no matter how many there are, they are nothing to be afraid of when our human race has a high city guarding them. The frightening thing is that the herds are usually led by some low-priced monsters that have already activated their intelligence. There are also many mutant beasts between ordinary beasts and monsters. Although these mutant beasts do not have some incredible supernatural powers like mutant monsters, they are enough for ordinary beasts. It's terrifying. Not only the size, strength, and speed are far superior to those of the same kind. At least the average low-level body refiner can't deal with it in a one-on-one situation." The scar-faced man said solemnly.

"So tricky! Are there many mutant beasts like this in the herd?" Han Li frowned.

"Basically, there will be one mutated beast out of a thousand." Zhang Kui thought for a while, not sure.

"Thousands?" Han Li glanced at the sea of blue beasts in the distance again, and couldn't help but smiled wryly.

Even if he couldn't accurately determine the number of these blue wolves, there were at least millions of them. With such a huge number, even if the number of mutant wolves was not tens of thousands, there must be thousands of them. With so many mutated beasts, they are indeed a deadly force in the defense of a city where no alchemy-level monks will appear.

"Okay, let's go to other places and see the situation of the rest of the herd." After watching for a while, Zhang Kui said with a sigh, as if he was not very optimistic about the prospect of this beast horde.

"Why, brother Zhang is a little worried that he won't be able to defend the city?" Han Li asked with a smile, although he followed the other party down the huge city wall.

"Zhang is indeed a little worried. The few times before the city was attacked and slaughtered by the herd of beasts, it was all a small city like Anyuan City that was built less than 10,000 years ago, and it also coincided with the outbreak of a large beast tide, coupled with insufficient preparation in advance. In this case, it was only broken. And this time there are monsters in the sky like leopards and beasts. The number of such monsters will not be too many. But every one is born, it is the existence of a first-level monster If it cannot be defended in the air, it will be really dangerous." Zhang Kui looked worried.

"Leopards, beasts, are they so scary?" Han Li's eyes flashed, as if he didn't quite believe it.

"In terms of individual strength, leopards and beasts are not ranked very high among beasts that can fly, but they are born with a strong poison that ordinary people can't smell. The only one who can't fight them in close quarters is The only way is to shoot them down from a distance. But this kind of monster bird is the kind of more flexible and faster race. If the air-to-air force is insufficient, it is difficult to really block them. And the air-to-air force of Anyuan City It is the weakest point of defense." Zhang Kui said slowly.

"Insufficient anti-air force, how could such a thing happen. Could it be that the Lord of Anyuan City didn't know the seriousness of this matter?" Han Li was greatly surprised.

Now he already knows that almost all secular power in human cities is in the hands of the city lord.

"What's the use of knowing. I heard that during the last beast swarm in this city, it suffered heavy losses and exhausted the original strength. It is the result of the city's owner's painstaking efforts to restore the current defensive strength. I heard that I also borrowed some weapons and soldiers from other nearby cities. Naturally, there is nothing we can do against air power." Zhang Kui actually said such a thing.

Han Li was speechless after hearing this.

Soon, when Han Li stood on the other wall with the scarred man, he saw a sea of red beasts formed by long pythons, which looked more daunting than a pack of blue wolves.

The only good news is that this kind of python has no poison in its mouth, and it doesn't spit out poisonous mist, so it is much easier to defend.

Han Li sighed secretly after seeing giant pythons that were several times larger than the same kind appearing in the sea of pythons from time to time.

This kind of mutated boa constrictor coiled in a ball is more than ten feet long, not much smaller than a red jellyfish. Ordinary people are entangled or swallowed by this giant beast, and the fate can be imagined. Moreover, the number of such mutated giant pythons is naturally more because the group of red pythons is much larger than the group of blue wolves.

After seeing the two herds of beasts, Han Li regretted not seeing the leopards and beasts that Zhang Kui mentioned.

According to the scar-faced man, this kind of monster birds usually live in hidden places, and the monster birds will not show up until the time of attack.

"What are the herds of beasts waiting for now? Why didn't they attack immediately?" Looking at the python herd in the distance, Han Li suddenly asked.

"The herd is led by monsters who have activated their intelligence. Naturally, it is impossible to attack in a swarm. They must contact the other two groups of beasts before deciding on the time to attack together, so that we humans cannot take care of it. Generally Let’s say this time is about a day or so. Let’s go. Our Tiandong Company should have received the order to prepare the city. In this kind of battle, we are just a drop in the ocean. Let’s do our best. If we are lucky enough to break through in the battle It’s not in vain for us to take such a risk and stay if we have a bottleneck or comprehend something.” Zhang Kui sneered one last time, and led Han Li 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 they had to set off immediately and go to a certain place to gather and prepare.

The brocade-robed man waited for a group of Jin Yuzong monks, but he was invited away one step earlier.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Kui immediately gave an order, and the more than 200 guards of Tiandong Company all set off and walked out of the inn in a mighty manner.

At this time, on the streets outside, private teams and body trainers recruited like business houses can be found everywhere. It's just that most of them are not as large and tough as the guards of Tiandong Company, ranging from five or six people to dozens of people walking together.

Along the way, Han Li and the others naturally attracted extra attention. Among them, more than fifty knights riding one-horned giant wolves are even more eye-catching.

After all, this mount called Suanlang is one of the few war beasts that humans tame in the spirit world. Each one is carefully cultivated from a young age, and only after the wildness is exhausted can it cooperate with the knight on it to display extraordinary strength, so the price is not cheap.

Only a rich and powerful firm like Tiandong Firm can afford to purchase so many Suanlang Beasts for the guards.

The crowd, and others on the street, were led to a certain large square near a city wall, which was the part of the city facing the herd of blue wolves.

Tens of thousands of unarmed young and strong people have gathered there, as well as some teams of different costumes and scattered body trainers. Among them, there were some people riding Suanlang beasts, but among so many people including the knights of Tiandong Company, there were only more than two hundred of them. Around the square stood some soldiers maintaining order in Anyuan City, all fully armed.

A middle-aged man in silver armor was standing at one end of the square, talking to a Confucian monk beside him, as if he was the leader.

When Han Li saw this person, his eyes focused, and he realized that this person turned out to be the gatekeeper commander he met when he entered the city gate.

The monks and Confucian scholars beside them were naturally the two immortal cultivators who had been ordered to inspect their team. I don't know what kind of ability the middle-aged man in Yinjia has, so that these two people can be kept under such circumstances.

At this time, the middle-aged man in silver armor saw that the crowd seemed to be almost gathered, so he waved his hand behind him without saying a word.

A soldier with a loud voice immediately stood up and issued a series of orders that he had prepared long ago.

The order is first to select all the knights with mounts in the field first, and form a separate cavalry team. Then another batch of tortoise carts poured into the square, and the soldiers unloaded a large number of weapons and a small amount of armor from the tortoise carts, and then began to distribute them to the young and strong men.

As for those body refiners, they naturally looked down on these ordinary weapons, and stood there watching coldly.

At this time, another group of soldiers began to prepare the young and strong people who were assigned weapons. Han Li and other private teams and the scattered body refiners were temporarily put aside, as if they were ignored for the time being.

Just when these private guards and body trainers were a little bit suspicious, suddenly a long wolf howl came from outside the city.

Han Liwen squinted his eyes, and before he had time to think about it, thousands of wolves roared outside the city wall, and the roar of the beasts went straight to the sky, rolling like thunder.

Those body refiners were alright, but their faces changed slightly, while ordinary people felt that there was nothing but the howling of beasts in the world under the horror.

But all this was just the beginning. From the other direction, there was a "hissing" sound and a strange roar of beasts.

Although these sounds are not as turbulent as the howling of wolves, they make people feel chills all over their bodies and chills behind their backs.

At this time, the gongs erected on the distant city wall were all rang "Dangdang" almost at the same time, and then a long male voice was heard from the air, the sound was not loud, but it was clear. It spread to the ears of everyone in the square: "Be careful, the herd of beasts has started to move towards the city wall!" It was a gray-robed monk in the foundation-building period, standing high in the air with a flying sword. And it was not this person who gave the warning in the air. Almost every piece of the sky in Anyuan City had a monk with an imperial weapon floating high in the sky, and they all issued warning sounds.

All of a sudden, there was a commotion in the entire Anyuan City. Groups of soldiers who had been ready to go for a long time, immediately set off and boarded the city wall. The huge crossbow arrows on the city wall immediately began to be operated by people standing behind them...
