Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian

Therefore, Yan Yun got a quiet and independent room without having to share a room with others.

In the next few days, he was alone in the room, concentrating on studying the fifth level of the Vajra Sutra.

According to the original method of practicing Ming Wang Jue, one only needs to use one's own magic power to practice, which is quite convenient.

However, now that he has changed to practicing the Vajra Sutra, he must rely on the technique of infusing his body with spiritual energy in order to make any progress.

Faced with a completely new way of cultivation, he felt deeply that he must first become familiar with and understand it before he could truly step into the world of cultivation.

However, to his surprise, after the third day, Yan Yun suddenly left the inn and disappeared.

Half a day later, he returned quietly. Although a few people noticed his departure, most people were unaware of it.

However, on the seventh day, Yan Yun was sitting in the room, cross-legged on the bed as usual, with his eyes slightly closed.

Suddenly, a huge bell sound came from outside the house. The sound was buzzing and reached the sky, making the whole inn tremble.

Yan Yun was startled by the sudden loud noise and immediately opened his eyes.

I was surprised to find that the rumbling bell sound not only did not stop but continued one after another.

Along with the bells came the exciting sound of trumpets in the city, one after another, as if they were blown simultaneously in every corner of the city.

Yan Yun, with a frown on his face, quickly opened the door and walked quickly into the yard.

The scene before him was one of chaos, with the guarding knights all walking out of the house.

Holding weapons or wearing armor, the expressions on their faces vary, ranging from excitement to anxious fear.

At this moment, a burly man walked out from the yard nearby. That man was Zhang Kui, nicknamed the Scarface Man.

He had a serious expression, and his sharp eyes scanned the noisy crowd, shouting loudly to stop their chaotic behavior.

The scarred man's words were like an order, causing the guards to quickly quiet down and return to their posts.

Yan Yun saw this scene and nodded with a smile.

It is understood that Zhang Kui has been in charge of leading this team for more than ten years, which fully demonstrates his extremely high prestige.

At this time, Zhang Kui happened to meet Yan Yun, and immediately invited him to go with him to observe the scale and type of the beast tide.

Even large-scale beast tides can be large or small, and there can be differences in strength among species of beasts.

When Yan Yun heard Zhang Kui's suggestion, he nodded in agreement without hesitation.

In fact, Yan Yun did not care too much about the "beast tide" composed of ordinary wild beasts and low-level monsters, but he was still full of curiosity deep in his heart.

Therefore, he readily accepted the proposal and decided to go with Zhang Kui.

When the two men rode the giant unicorn wolf to the vicinity of the city wall, they found that the situation outside had changed dramatically.

The once bustling streets have now become empty and quiet, with only a few pedestrians hurrying by with nervous looks on their faces.

The number of animal carts on the streets increased several times more than usual, and carriages pulled by one or several monsters were speeding past everywhere.

In addition, there were some knights wearing Anyuan City Guard uniforms riding the Tiandong Trading Company's unique unicorn giant wolves, also running back and forth among them.

As these knights galloped, they loudly announced the impending arrival of a beast tide and the order for martial law to be imposed throughout the city.

The main content of the order is to require all ordinary citizens, except for body cultivators and soldiers in the city, to strictly abide by the regulations, stay at home and not go out at will, otherwise they will face severe punishment.

Just as Yan Yun and Zhang Kui were about to head for the nearest city wall, they came upon the top of a towering building in the south of Anyuan City.

A tall man in a purple robe stood in front of a window of the tower, with his hands behind his back, staring deep into the distance, his face gloomy and severe.

After hearing Zhang Kui's detailed description, Yan Yun felt a wave of complex emotions surge in his heart.

The word "Silver Wolf" undoubtedly reminded him of the former Silver Moon.

This woman is actually a giant silver wolf, and she calls herself a member of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan.

However, Yan Yun was not sure whether these silver wolves were related to Yin Yue.

However, whether this speculation was true or not, it was of no real help to the dilemma he was currently facing, so he quickly put it out of his mind.

"If it were just these ordinary wolf beasts, even if there were a large number of them, we humans would not be a concern as we have tall and solid walls as barriers."

"What is really worrying is that the beast groups are often led by low-level monsters that have awakened their wisdom."

"There are also many mutant beasts that are between ordinary wild beasts and demonic beasts mixed in. These mutant beasts."

"Although it doesn't have the magical abilities of a mutant monster, it's terrifying enough compared to ordinary beasts."

"Not only are they huge, powerful, and agile, but even ordinary low-level physical practitioners find it difficult to deal with them alone."

The scarred man explained sternly.

"It's so troublesome! Are there many mutant beasts like this in the herd?"

Yan Yun asked with a frown.

"Basically one mutant will appear in every thousand animals."

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Kui gave an uncertain answer.

"One thousand?" Yan Yun looked at the green sea of ​​beasts in the distance again and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although he could not accurately count the number of these blue wolves, he could at least judge that the number reached over millions.

Faced with such a huge number, even if the number of mutant wolf beasts did not reach tens of thousands, there would probably be around several thousand.

Such a large number of mutated beasts do pose a deadly threat in a city attack and defense battle where there will be no Jindan-level cultivators participating.

"So, where are we going next?" Yan Yun looked at Zhang Kui and asked.

"We need to check on the other herds."

Zhang Kui sighed and replied. Obviously, he was not optimistic about the future of this beast tide.

"Are you worried that we can't hold this city?" Yan Yun asked with a smile.

"I do have some concerns. Cities have been attacked and massacred by beasts in the past."

"Most of them are small cities like Anyuan City that were built less than 10,000 years ago. They just happened to catch up with the large-scale beast tide outbreak. At the same time, due to insufficient preparations beforehand, the city was eventually lost."

"In addition, this time the beast tide also saw the appearance of flying monster birds such as leopard beasts."

"Although their number may not be too large, every leopard beast is already a first-level demon beast from the day it is born." "If we cannot effectively resist the attack from the sky, the situation will become very critical."

Zhang Kui said worriedly.

“Are leopard beasts really that powerful?”

There was a gleam of doubt in Yan Yun's eyes, and he seemed to be a little skeptical about this.

"Among the flying demonic birds in the beast tide, the leopard beasts may not be the strongest individually, but they are born with the ability to release highly toxic poison. Ordinary people can die immediately if they inhale one breath of it."

"So we can't engage them in close combat, and the only option is to shoot them down as far away as possible."

"However, this monster bird happens to be a species with extremely high flexibility and speed."

"If our air defenses are not strong enough to suppress them, it will be extremely difficult to completely block their range of activities."

"And Anyuan City's air defense is the weakest link in the entire defense system."

Zhang Kui explained earnestly.

"Since the air defense force is insufficient, why did this happen? Could it be that the Lord of Anyuan City is completely unaware of this?"

Yan Yun was very surprised by this.

Now he has understood that in human cities, almost all secular power is controlled by the city lord.

"Why would we need to know when we know we are powerless to resist? Rumor has it that the city suffered extremely serious damage in the last beast tide, and the strength it had accumulated previously was almost completely consumed."

"The city's leaders have done their best to rebuild the current defense system."

"It is said that he even requested assistance from neighboring cities and borrowed some weapons and soldiers. As for air protection, it is obviously impossible to provide it."

Zhang Kui actually made such a statement.

After hearing this, Yan Yun couldn't help feeling helpless.

Not long after, Yan Yun followed the scarred man to the other side of the city wall.

What appeared before his eyes was a red ocean composed of pythons that were several meters long, which seemed to be more terrifying than the blue wolves.

The only thing to be thankful for is that these pythons are not poisonous and cannot spit out poisonous mist, so it is relatively easy to defend against them.

However, when Yan Yun saw giant pythons that were several times larger than their own species emerging from the sea of ​​pythons from time to time, he sighed again.

These mutant pythons coiled together are more than ten feet long, and are not inferior to the red dragon.

If ordinary people were entangled or swallowed by such giant beasts, the consequences would be disastrous.

And since the number of red pythons far exceeds that of blue wolves, the number of mutated giant pythons naturally increases accordingly.

After observing the two groups of animals, Yan Yun found with some regret that he did not see the leopards and other animals mentioned by Zhang Kui.

According to the scarred man, these evil birds usually live in secret places and will never show up easily unless the time comes to attack.

"Why hasn't the beasts launched an attack yet?" Yan Yun suddenly asked a question as he looked at the pythons in the distance.

"There are intelligent monsters leading the herd, so we can't just attack blindly."

"They must have communicated with the other two herds before deciding on the timing to launch a joint attack so that we humans could not respond at the same time."

“Normally, this takes about a full day.”

"Let's leave quickly. I believe our Tiandong Company has also received instructions to rectify the city."

"In this war, we are just insignificant beings. We can only do our best."

"If I am lucky enough to break through the bottleneck or gain some insights during the battle, then this adventure will not be in vain."

Zhang Kui snorted coldly at last, then led Yan Yun back to the city and finally returned to the inn.

Sure enough, the guards in the inn had received orders from Anyuan City and had to set off immediately to assemble somewhere and wait.

The man in brocade robe and other Jinyu Sect monks had already left.

Zhang Kui gave the order without hesitation, and more than 200 guards of Tiandong Trading Company quickly got ready and left the inn in a mighty manner.

At this time, private teams like businesses and body cultivators that were recruited could be seen everywhere on the streets.

However, their numbers were generally not as numerous or strong as the Tiandong Trading Company's guards, and they walked in groups of five or six or dozens of people at most.

Yan Yun and his companions naturally attracted countless attention along the way, especially the knights riding on giant unicorn wolves, who were even more eye-catching.

After all, this mount called the Suanlang is one of the few war beasts domesticated by humans in the spiritual world.

Each wolf is carefully bred and its wildness is completely eliminated before it can cooperate with the knights and display amazing combat power, so its value is naturally very high.

Only a financially strong company like Tiandong Trading Company has the ability to purchase so many Suanlang war beasts for the guard team.

The crowd and the pedestrians on the street were led to a large square near a city wall. This section of the city wall was exactly the section facing the blue wolf herd.

Thousands of strong young men with bare hands, as well as teams and individual body-building practitioners of various shapes and sizes, each with its own characteristics, have gathered in the square.

Although there were a very small number of individuals riding on wolf beasts, considering that there were many spectators and many knights from the Tiandong Chamber of Commerce, there were currently less than two hundred such beasts.

Around the square stood rows of fully armed Anyuan city soldiers who were maintaining order.

A man wearing silver armor, exuding the heroic spirit of a middle-aged man, is standing in a corner of the square.

He was whispering with an elegant Confucian scholar and a thoughtful monk who were surrounding him, as if he was the leader of the group.

When Yan Yun saw the middle-aged man in silver armor, his eyes immediately became extremely sharp.

They discovered that this man was the gatekeeper they met when they first broke into the city gate.

On the left and right sides of the middle-aged man in silver armor were obviously the two primates from the immortal world who were responsible for escorting their team into Anyuan City.

No matter what kind of magical abilities the middle-aged man in silver armor possessed, it was extremely rare that he was able to save the two from being executed under such circumstances.

At this time, the middle-aged man in silver armor obviously noticed that the crowd was gradually approaching saturation, so he waved his arms without hesitation, signaling the soldiers behind him to start action.

A soldier with a loud voice quickly stepped forward and shouted a series of orders that had been prepared long ago.

First, the order required that all knights equipped with mounts on the scene be selected and formed into a separate cavalry team.

Later, some land vehicles appeared around the square - tortoise carts. Soldiers unloaded a large amount of weapons and equipment from the tortoise carts, and also distributed a small amount of armor to the strong young men. (End of this chapter)
