Ruthless Seeker

By the time Gu Zhuo arrived at the meeting hall, Yu Xuanfeng had already been waiting for a long time.

There are only two people in the hall, one is Xuan Feng.

There was a middle-aged man standing next to him.

The middle-aged man looked at Gu Zhuo with his eyes and continued drinking tea.

The servant of the City Lord's Mansion made Gu Zhuo a cup of tea.

Gu Zhuo picked up the tea and took a sip. The aroma of tea overflowed.

"Brother Gu, I want you to come this time. I have a task to give you."

"Please speak." Gu Zhuo put down his tea cup.

"The beast tide is coming. I hope you can go and investigate with Yu Qiang, the earth monk."

"Yu Qiang is good at reconnaissance and exploration. But he is not good at fighting. You are responsible for protecting his safety at special times."

Yu Qiang took two steps forward and clasped his fists and said, "Go down Yu Qiang again."

Gu Zhuo thought for a while, cupped his fists and said, "Please take care of me."

Gu Zhuo and Yu Qiang put on their own equipment, prepared dry food and started heading east.

The beast tide comes from the wilderness of the Eastern Continent. There are a large number of wild beasts living in the wilderness of the Eastern Continent. Every few decades, due to the large increase in numbers and lack of food, the beasts will go west in search of prey, causing a beast tide.

Xiaobian City is located on the border of the Western Continent and naturally becomes a victim target.

Since Yu Qiang was also a practitioner and his physical fitness was not weak, the two of them hurried on quickly.

Yu Qiang didn't talk much, and he hardly took the initiative to talk to him along the way.

In addition to rushing, Yuqiang is all about perception and cultivation.

However, Yu Qiang's ability was fully demonstrated along the way.

In order to speed up, they will avoid wild animals and rough terrain as quickly as possible along the way.

Yu Qiang can accurately predict and avoid some troubles every time and find a suitable route.

Even if there are some beasts that cannot be avoided, Gu Zhuo can quickly deal with them.

The time spent on the road is fleeting.

"Ouch!" A lone wild wolf was roaring at Gu Zhuo and the wall behind him, making a threatening sound.

Gu Zhuo's expression remained unchanged and he walked directly towards the wild wolf.

Seeing Gu Zhuo move forward, the wild wolf pounced directly on Gu Zhuo.

Gu Zhuo reacted very quickly and instantly dodged the wild wolf's attack to the right. He quickly clenched his fist and mobilized all his strength to punch the wild wolf.

The wild wolf was unable to dodge in the air and was hit directly on the head.

I saw the wild wolf flying backwards, rolling on the ground several times, and began to struggle on the ground, but could not stand up.

The wild wolf suffered severe brain damage and could hardly survive.

Gu Zhuo pulled out the knife and inserted it directly into his eye, understanding its life.

Gu Zhuo sat on the wolf's body and wiped the blood from the knife while saying helplessly: "There are not many arrows, so I'd better use them when I encounter a big beast."

Yu Qiang put his hands on the ground and stood up after a while.

"There is a village ahead." Yu Qiang clapped his hands and said.

Gu Zhuo raised his head and looked at the sun. The sun was about to set, dyeing the clouds red.

"Let's go take a look. I haven't rested for a long time. I'll spend the night there today."

"good."

The two exchanged a few words and walked towards the village.

Two hours later, Gu Zhuo and others arrived at the village, which was deserted.

All the people in the village who could run away had left, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled.

Some of these people have no way to leave and can only wait to die.

Some don't want to leave the home they have lived in all their lives.

Yu Qiang had no sympathy, his eyes were cold.

Gu Zhuo and Yu Qiang randomly found a big house.

This should be the house of a rich man in the village. When he pushed the door open, he saw that the house was in a mess and the valuables had already been removed.

The owner of the house probably fled into Xiaobian City long ago.

The bed in the room was not moved because it was too big.

Gu Zhuo and Yu Qiang didn't care about the surrounding environment and started to rest while lying on the bed. After all, they had to be on their way tomorrow.

The moon rises into the sky, making the already silent village even more eerie.

Gu Zhuoyuqiang closed his eyes and rested.

…………

In the dead of night, Yu Qiang suddenly opened his eyes. He put his hand on the ground, as if he felt something.

He pushed Gu Zhuo, who was not sleeping deeply at all.

"There's a situation!"

Gu Zhuo quickly stood up after hearing this.

"Some wild beasts have entered the village."

…………

Several wild beasts quietly entered the village. They did not immediately attack the sleeping villagers, but cautiously explored something.

Their feet stepped on the dirt road of the village, leaving traces behind.

They didn't know that there were two people observing them in the distance at this time.

Gu Zhuo and Yu Qiang were lying on the roof watching a few sneaky beasts.

"They are probably the vanguard of the beast tide."

“It’s so fast”

The beast king of the beast tide will send a team of beasts as the vanguard to explore the environment ahead.

Yu Qiang did not alert the enemy, but simply said, "Mission accomplished, retreat!"

Yu Qiang and Gu Zhuo quickly left the village quietly.

Their mission was to detect the movements of the beast tide, and the mission had been completed.

Even killing these beasts will not bring any benefit, and it may also alert the subsequent large groups of beasts, which will increase the difficulty of the operation.

As for those villagers, just treat them as victims of the overall situation.

Gu Zhuo and Yu Qiang started to travel with all their strength and soon returned to Xiaobian City.

"Who is it?" the city gate guard stopped him.

Yu Qiang was too lazy to pay attention to him and directly showed the Yu family token.

The guard saw that it was the Yu family's token and quickly let him go.

Back at Yu's house, Yu Qiang quickly reported the traces of the beasts.

Yu Xuanfeng was also shocked by this. This time the beast wave came much earlier than before.

Xiaobiancheng's vigilance level has become stronger.

There are a large number of guards guarding the city walls around the clock.

Gu Zhuo and Yu Qiang completed the task and received five contribution points. In the end, they exchanged for a piece of flesh and blood of a first-level peak night tiger.

Eating it can enhance physical fitness to a certain extent.

After all, the Yu family has no power inheritance, and many skills are useless to Gu Zhuo.

Nothing happened for a week, but the atmosphere in the city became more and more dead.

Feng Er and the mute were walking on the street. The hawking sounds on the street had long disappeared, and only a few pedestrians were hurriedly shuttling through the streets.

"When can I get over it? Now I can't get paid and it's boring."

The mute nodded in affirmation.

"Come quickly if the beast tide is coming." Feng Er whispered.

The next moment, the ground suddenly began to vibrate slightly, and the alarm bell on the city wall rang loudly, and pedestrians on the road hurriedly ran home.

"No way, it's really coming!" Feng Er was startled and screamed.

The mute was no longer calm and glared at Feng Er fiercely.

The officers and soldiers on the city wall were also prepared and on alert.

The sweat on the faces of each officer and soldier showed that they were not as calm as they appeared.

The vibration of the earth gradually became obvious, and people in the whole city felt obvious shock.

A group of scattered beasts gradually appeared.

The soldiers guarding the city were ready to go.

A group of beasts slowly moved forward, and when they saw the humans on the city, they roared and ran back.

The archers on the city wall could not shoot because the beasts were too far away and the range was not enough.

After a while, a dark group of beasts appeared on the horizon.

The number and momentum of the beasts made the soldiers guarding the city stagnate.

"Calm down! Prepare to fight the enemy."

Suddenly a voice sounded from everyone's heart.

It was Yu Xuanfeng's inner voice, Yu Xuanfeng was a second-level Shinto monk.

Yu Xuanfeng's words seemed to give everyone a reassurance.

"We have Master Yu, who is at the peak of the second level!" A guard shouted.

Others also responded.

For a time, morale also rose sharply.

"This should be the ability of Shinto to influence people's minds. It's really a tricky ability." Gu Zhuo pondered.

At that moment, Gu Zhuo was also affected, but as a monk, Gu Zhuo quickly broke free.

The offensive and defensive battle began!
