However, the reality was worse than the young man had imagined.
After four more mutant gray antelopes crossed the wall, the last one to come up was a sturdy mutant tiger. The tiger seemed to have control over the gray antelopes. When it glanced at everyone from the wall, the four gray antelopes stayed beside the tiger with their heads lowered.
"It seems that these mutant monsters have evolved a relationship of affiliation with each other in such a short period of time?" Cao Lu was surprised. As a soldier, she knew the gap between an organized army and idle bandits. If these already terrifying creatures slowly formed a group, it would be much more difficult to deal with them.
Morey said: "The former natural enemies are now together, fighting in a way that the strong dominate the weak. That green light is really a magical power."
"The key now is to stop these ferocious guys." Cao Lu aimed the gun in his hand at the mutant tiger's eyebrows.
"Shoot!" She gave the order and pulled the trigger. The mutant tiger seemed to have predicted her action and dodged at the moment the bullet was fired. The bullet grazed its forehead, leaving a deep bloody mark. The mutant tiger roared and led the mutant sheep to rush towards the position. Just as they jumped off the wall, more monsters of different sizes climbed over the wall and rushed over.
However, the strongest ones were the ones in the front. They jumped quickly and approached the crowd at lightning speed. Cao Lu fired all his bullets in one breath, but only left a few bloody marks on the mutant tiger, and failed to kill it at all. Li Huanxiang saw the tiger rushing towards the old and weak in the village, and opened his hand to release an electric net. The electric current paralyzed the mutant tiger's body and made it crash into an ox cart used as a shelter. Hines turned over and jumped over, drew his sword and stabbed the mutant tiger's neck. But at this time, a mutant gray antelope rushed over and stabbed its horn into Hines' back.
"Hines!" Cao Lu, who had just changed his bullets, shot through the mutant gray antelope's eyes, but Hines could not be saved. The goat's horn pierced his back, and he let go of the sword in his hand and leaned over the mutant tiger's body.
The remaining three mutant gray gazelles also rushed into the crowd. One was hit by Li Huanxiang's lightning, and another was killed by Cao Lu, but the last one rushed into the crowd and killed two villagers before being pounced on and killed by the militia.
The crowd had no time to grieve, because more animals rushed over. Although they did not look as threatening as the previous large animals, there were many of them. Cao Lu and the militiamen shot desperately, and Li Huanxiang also kept casting magic, but such firepower could only kill some of them. The rest rushed to the front of the formation, and the militiamen could only fight with their weapons.
Xi Luo held the gun but couldn't shoot because the monsters were too close to the people. Now he was braver because of the potion, so he put on the bayonet and stabbed a dog-shaped monster fighting with the militia.
"The teleportation array is connected." Morey shouted, "The teleportation can be activated in half a minute! Xi Luo, go and call down the people on the city wall."
"Okay." Xi Luo pulled the bayonet back from the monster's neck, turned around and ran towards the city wall, but after a few steps, he was surprised to find that the city wall was leaning inward. Several particularly tall tree people appeared outside the wall, and they were pushing the wall together.
"There are too many tree people. We can't stop them." Someone on the wall shouted. The soldiers and militiamen on the wall had already lost their balance and were unstable. They turned and ran towards the wall, but they didn't expect that the wall would fall apart at that moment. Although the three guards were full of fighting spirit, one was hit by the tree man's huge fist and was knocked out, falling to the ground unconscious. The other two were crushed under the collapsed wooden pillars of the city wall in order to rescue the militiamen around them. After pushing down the city wall, the tree people walked directly into the village on these scattered wooden pillars and trampled them to death.
"Bakaresa! Endro!" Cao Lu cried out, and she was about to rush to Elisa who was knocked away. But someone grabbed her. She turned around and saw that it was Morey: "The magic circle has been activated, you have to organize a retreat."
"I'm going to save someone."
Morey said seriously: "The villagers are already in chaos. I'm afraid they will destroy the magic circle in a panic, and someone will be needed to stop those monsters. Now, we can only save those who are sure to be saved first."
Cao Lu looked at Elisa who had landed at the feet of the tree man, and saw the panicked villagers and a new wave of mutant monsters climbing over the wall. He gritted his teeth and rushed to the village chief: "Village chief, quickly let everyone pass through the teleportation array! Women and children go in front, and men follow behind."
The villagers entered the battle formation under the command of the village chief, but a new wave of beasts rushed over again. Cao Lu said to Li Huanxiang: "You are not a guard soldier, I have no right to ask you for anything... But now someone must help me stop these monsters."
Li Huanxiang wanted to smile, but his face looked as ugly as if he had a cramp. He said, "Stop talking. I won't die before a child or an old man."
He flew towards the monsters that were rushing towards him. He deliberately did not use the flying technique, but rushed into the monsters with a shield, hoping that they could be delayed by him. Cao Lu saw that the village chief had controlled the situation, so he raised his gun and rushed towards the tree man who broke through the wall. The appearance of these two people rushing out reminded Morey of an idiom he had learned, a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
The first villager finally stepped into the teleportation array and disappeared. Morey manipulated the array and said to Xi Luo: "I must manipulate the array, you follow the villagers first."
Xi Luo stood beside him with a rifle and said, "No one in our team has left yet. How can you ask me to leave first? I don't have much ability, but any monster that wants to affect your operation of the magic circle will have to step over me."
Morey wasn't sure whether this was his true thoughts or because of the medication he had taken.
He tried hard to maintain the magic circle and send people away one by one, but he watched helplessly as Li Huanxiang turned into a beam of light and exploded among the monsters just as he was about to be submerged. Then he saw Cao Lu knock down two tree men, but was surrounded by more tree men. Soon after, the tree men turned around and continued to move towards him, but Cao Lu was nowhere to be seen there.
When the last villager stepped onto the teleportation array, it was the old village chief. He knelt down on the teleportation array and kowtowed heavily to the remaining people in the village. As soon as he was teleported away, a monster transformed from an ape pounced on Morey, but a figure pounced on him and blocked the monster's claws.
"Siro."
Xi Luo used his remaining strength to pull the trigger at the monster's chin, smashing the monster's brain, but the monster's claws had already pierced his chest: "Let's go. Don't let me die in vain. The effect of the drug seems to have worn off. I, I'm starting to get scared..."
