"The strength has finally recovered."
Compared to the excitement of outsiders, Wu Chen was not at ease, because he was seriously injured. Therefore, after the Qianlong Ranking Competition, he basically spent all his time recuperating. In order to make his injuries heal faster, the Emperor specially opened the royal treasury for him, and the precious medicinal materials and rare elixirs inside could be taken at will. With the Emperor's permission, Wu Chen naturally would not be polite and took a lot of rare medicinal materials, which enabled him to recover from his injuries in a few days and regain all his strength.
After recovering his strength, Wu Chen went out for a walk to stretch his muscles.
Yueming Tower, one of the famous towers in Xiyang City, is very famous and is a must-visit place in Xiyang City.
"Look, Wu Chen, Wu Chen is here."
As soon as Wu Chen walked in, everyone screamed and all eyes were on him. Now, he was well-known throughout the entire Xiyang City, as the first place winner of the Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition and the number one among the younger generation of the Great Qi Kingdom.
Wu Chen was slightly startled and glanced around. There were a lot of people here. They were all sitting and chatting or looking at the scenery, but now their eyes were all on him.
Without saying anything, Wu Chen slowly walked to a seat by the window and sat down there.
Seeing him sit down, some people came over and greeted him.
"Wu Chen, are your injuries healed?"
Wu Chen nodded and said, "Almost done. Thank you for your concern."
The man smiled and said, "You're welcome. We are planning to go to the Demon Cloud Mountains. Wu Chen, are you interested in going with us?"
"Demon Cloud Mountains? What are we going there for?" Wu Chen asked curiously.
Wu Chen knew that the Demon Cloud Mountains was a large mountain range that stretched for tens of thousands of miles with countless large and small peaks. In the Demon Cloud Mountains, there were all kinds of monsters, making it a paradise for monsters.
Several people looked at each other in disbelief.
"Such a big thing happened in the Demon Cloud Mountains, don't you know?"
"What happened?"
"Beast Tide."
"What, beast tide?"
The Demon Cloud Mountains are a paradise for monsters. Under certain specific conditions, such as winter, due to the scarcity of food in the mountains, the monsters will riot in order to survive and invade human places. This is called the beast tide. Throughout history, monster riots have occurred in the Demon Cloud Mountains more than once or twice.
"Yes, it's the beast tide." The man nodded and said, "Now many people have rushed over to kill the monsters. We also plan to go over there to assist the border defense troops there and lend them a helping hand."
Wu Chen stood up and said, "In that case, let's go together."
Everyone was delighted. Wu Chen was very powerful, and even Situ Jiannan was no match for him. With his assistance, they believed they would be much more successful.
The Demon Cloud Mountains, located to the north of Xiyang City, stretch for tens of thousands of miles and span dozens of countries. There are countless monsters in it, and riots are very likely to occur.
However, as soon as the monsters in the Demon Cloud Mountains riot, a large number of human monks will go to hunt and kill them. Generally speaking, the monsters there will not go too far and will be killed by the monks and warriors along the way to avoid causing greater losses.
Wu Chen and his group left Xiyang City and headed north all the way to the Moyun Mountains.
Moyun City is a city located fifty miles away from the Moyun Mountains. It is heavily guarded and is the first line of defense for humans against the monsters in the Moyun Mountains.
When Wu Chen and his companions arrived at Mo Yun City, monsters were attacking the city. Countless monsters surrounded the city from all directions and were attacking the city frantically. Their strength varied, from first-level monsters to third-level monsters. All kinds of monsters attacked the city in an overwhelming manner, forming a black mass and they would not stop until they conquered the city.
And above the Demon Cloud City, countless monks were fighting hard, their weapons constantly emitting red light, madly killing the attacking monsters. On the top of the city, eight cannons continuously fired crystal cannons, bombarding the monsters.
This kind of cannon is specially used to deal with monsters. It is extremely powerful. Even a third-level monster may not be able to withstand it with one shot. As for first- and second-level monsters, they are even more of a piece of cake. One shot can kill a large number of them. However, this kind of cannon is very expensive. The cost of each cannon is more than five million taels of silver, and the price of a shell is one hundred thousand taels of silver. It is simply not something that ordinary people can afford.
"Let's go down and help everyone defend the city."
The beast tide in the Moyun Mountains caused a sensation in the entire Hengling Region. Many countries sent a large number of monks to help guard Moyun City and fight against the monsters. They would never let the monsters break through the defense line of Moyun City.
Looking at the endless torrent of monsters, Wu Chen's eyelids jumped suddenly. With so many monsters attacking together, even a strong man in the True Martial Realm would be blown into pieces. He had to take it seriously.
Without saying anything, Wu Chen landed directly.
roar!
Seeing Wu Chen landing, a huge monster rushed up immediately, blood and energy surging around its body, and its violent momentum soared into the sky, destroying everything.
Such a fierce and bloody aura would have frightened an ordinary warrior to paralysis. He would not dare to fight and would have run away as far as possible. However, Wu Chen was not afraid at all. He clenched his fist and shouted loudly, and the violent force rushed down all at once. The attack of the monster was so fragile under the blow of Wu Chen's fist that it was shattered in one blow.
Then, Wu Chen threw out another punch, which carried a violent force. He rushed out fiercely and hit the monster heavily.
“Oh.”
The monster screamed and was blown to pieces by a punch. Its body was torn into pieces and turned into a pool of blood.
Immediately afterwards, a pure energy surged in and poured into his body. The Fire Phoenix Technique quickly operated, wrapping around that power and instantly disintegrating it, breaking it down into spiritual power, which merged into Wu Chen's Dantian, enhancing his cultivation and strength.
"Hahaha, that's refreshing."
Wu Chen laughed loudly. To others, monsters might mean disaster, but it was different for him because he practiced the Fire Phoenix Technique. This technique could absorb the energy from monsters and convert it into spiritual power, thus promoting his cultivation and strength growth. Although the energy of a monster might be limited and it couldn't do much, there were more than tens of millions of monsters here. If he could kill some of them, absorb their energy and convert it into spiritual power, then his cultivation and strength would surely improve rapidly and he would soon be able to reach a higher level.
