Ruthless Seeker
Chapter 18: Battle of the Beast Tide 1
"Ah!" With a roar from the beasts, all the beasts seemed to have received an order and charged towards Xiaobian City.
For a moment, the scene was quite spectacular.
The civilians locked outside the city were immediately dominated by fear and began to run around when they saw the beasts rushing in.
"Masters in the city! Let me in!"
"I can do anything. I can be your slave for life. Let me in!"
"Please, let my child in!"
"Mom!"
For a moment, screams and curses continued to come from the bottom of the city.
Many young people on the city wall saw this scene for the first time, and their eyes were moved.
"Everything is for the overall situation, and sacrifice is necessary!"
"Our families are behind us! Focus on the current battle!"
"For our families!"
"For our friends!"
Voices kept shouting from various officers to boost the spirits of the soldiers.
As the beasts kept approaching, the commander began to give orders.
"Draw the bow!"
All the soldiers drew their bows in unison and aimed in the direction of the beasts.
The herd of beasts soon reached the range.
"Shoot!"
All the arrows flew out of the soldiers' hands, forming a wave of arrow rain.
The beasts had no way to avoid it, and many arrows hit the beasts in an instant.
Civilians were also in the range, and many civilians were also shot.
On the battlefield, roars and screams of people were heard, and then a group of beasts were shot like hedgehogs and fell down, or their speed was greatly reduced due to injuries.
Before the soldiers in public could cheer up, the next moment the herd of beasts behind stepped over the corpses in front and continued to rush to the city.
Waves of arrows continued to fall, batches of beasts fell, and the next batch of beasts followed.
The beasts still could not see the end.
Gu Zhuo also took out his bow and arrow and continued to attack the beasts below.
The beasts shot by his bow and arrow were instantly pierced and fell to the ground, and sometimes Gu Zhuo would shoot two beasts in one.
For a powerful monk like Gu Zhuo, this kind of offensive and defensive battle is not suitable for him.
He could deal with one, he could deal with ten, but how about a hundred, how about a thousand?
Besides, there were more than a thousand beasts, and it would be foolish to fight them down the city now.
Yu Qiang and other monks kept surveying the movements of the beasts, trying to find the beast king as soon as possible.
The fastest way to end the beast tide was to kill the beast king. Once the beast king died, all the beasts would be leaderless and would naturally collapse.
But there were too many beasts, and the beast king had a certain wisdom, so it was impossible to find the location of the beast king for a while.
The beasts quickly rushed to the civilian camps built because they could not pay the money.
The panicked and unarmed civilians were no match for the beasts.
For a while, there was blood outside the city wall.
The old man that Gu Zhuo saw when he entered the city was pounced on by the beasts and torn to pieces in an instant.
The little girl beside him had long disappeared, and the result was unpredictable.
The civilians suffered heavy casualties, but the beasts' charge was also hindered.
This also gave the officers and soldiers on the city more time. Countless arrows fell, and countless civilians and beasts fell.
But there were too many beasts. Whenever a group of beasts fell, another group would follow by stepping on the corpses of their companions, and the herd continued to advance.
At this time, a huge whirlwind suddenly emerged from the herd, and a large number of beasts were instantly thrown into the air and fell to the ground.
"It's a cultivator!"
"The immortals are here to help us!"
There were also exclamations from the city wall.
There are few people with the ability to cultivate, and ordinary people will hardly come into contact with them in their lifetime. Even if they meet them, most of them are unaware.
The morale that was originally dispersed by the bloody scene showed signs of cohesion again.
"It's a Fengdao cultivator. The Yu family can't send a second-level cultivator. It should be multiple first-level cultivators casting spells together."
With the help of the whirlwind, the advance of the herd was finally curbed.
Whenever a herd of beasts rushed up, it would be blown back instantly by a whirlwind.
For a time, the beast tide was initially curbed.
The war became a war of attrition.
The officers and soldiers in the city were well prepared, so there were plenty of bows and arrows.
There were countless beasts.
Eight hours later, the war continued.
Most of the officers and soldiers were exhausted and relied on willpower to support them.
"Hold on, victory will soon be ours!"
"Brothers! Hold on!"
Although the encouragement was still there, the confusion was clearly seen on the officer's face.
Fighting like this was not a solution. It would be over sooner or later.
Yu Qiang and others were already exhausted. This beast king was extremely cunning. He hid in the beast herd and did not show any breath.
Another hour passed. The next moment, a lightning suddenly struck the city wall, and several officers and soldiers evaporated in an instant.
"It's the beast king. Can't hold it back anymore?"
Yu Qiang instantly perked up and began to explore.
Soon he found the location of the beast king. He had been hiding behind the beast herd. His strength was about the early second stage.
Soon after, many monks were invited to the Yu family hall to discuss countermeasures. Gu Zhuo was not surprised.
Entering the hall, Gu Zhuo saw Yu Xuanfeng sitting on the main seat and Yu Qiang. He was still drinking tea, but he looked a little haggard.
Gu Zhuo also saw many new faces, all of them were cultivators, all kinds of cultivators.
After everyone arrived, Yu Xuanfeng said directly without any politeness this time: "The guards on the city wall can't hold out for much longer, we must fight quickly and get rid of the beast king.
Everyone was silent. Everyone present was a first-level cultivator. Facing a second-level beast king surrounded by beasts was simply a suicide mission.
Yu Xuanfeng seemed to have expected it. He slowly said, "Of course, I know the strength of that beast. Except for me, almost no one in the entire Yu family can defeat it."
After speaking, Yu Xuanfeng paused and said, "I can use the Yu family secret method to kill the beast king instantly, but it consumes too much energy, so I need a few people to protect me and save my energy."
Everyone's face looked a little better. After all, although this plan is dangerous, it is at least not a suicide mission.
"Participants this time can get ten spirit stones."
Yu Xuanfeng said another heavy news.
For first-level cultivators like them, spirit stones are scarce.
Spirit stones can speed up cultivation and can also be used as currency between cultivators.
People die for money, and birds die for food.
With such high benefits, everyone began to volunteer to participate.
Yu Zhuo was no exception. First of all, the reward of ten spirit stones was indeed attractive. Taking these spirit stones would speed up the cultivation speed a lot for a period of time.
Moreover, he had a spiritual sword as his trump card. Swordsmanship was the best at killing. Even if he failed in the mission, he could still expose his trump card and escape.
The selection was completed quickly, and finally Gu Zhuo, Yu Nan, Zhan Jun, and Yan Jiao were selected.
Because they were all good at fighting, they were very suitable for opening the way.
Then he made a simple plan, and after a brief exchange, he immediately took his equipment and set off.
To capture a thief, first capture the king, and kill the beast king.
