Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian

However, they obviously could not just go and stay at the inn at will.

They could only choose to rest in peace in a group of stone houses near the square where they gathered that day.

The moment most people stepped into the stone house, they were already extremely tired and fell asleep immediately.

Even though Yan Yun was unharmed, he did not intend to take the risk of running in this extremely chaotic situation.

So he sat cross-legged on the bed, adjusted his breathing, and continued to silently comprehend and study the Vajra Sutra.

The long night passed silently.

The next morning, the deafening sound of gongs and drums rang out again, echoed by the howling of wolves in the distance.

Soon after, the shouting and screaming from the direction of the city wall intensified, marking the beginning of the beasts' second wave of attack on the city.

This battle seemed to be more intense than the previous day, and the sounds of fighting continued from morning to evening.

Team after team of reserve soldiers and young and strong men were constantly pulled out of the stone houses and then quickly sent to the top of the city for reinforcement.

In just one day, three or four groups of people were sent to the city wall from the square where Yan Yun was located.

It was not until night fell again that the herd retreated again.

When Yan Yun walked out of the stone house with a feeling in his heart, the rotation personnel who had withdrawn from the city wall had already appeared in the square.

So many people came to support the city wall, but at this moment the number of people was less than two-thirds of the original number.

Most of them were covered in blood, had mutilated limbs, and suffered serious injuries.

Compared with the security work done by Yan Yun and others yesterday, their condition seemed particularly miserable.

Faced with this scene, countless people walked out of the stone house, and after seeing this scene, they were speechless.

At that time, someone came forward to ask about the details of today's battle.

After investigation, we learned that among the beasts that attacked the city today, there was a small wolf beast with a body shape similar to a civet cat.

Not only are they as agile as flying swallows, but the wolf hair on their bodies can also be shot out like a hedgehog.

Those hard and sharp hairs contain highly poisonous substances. Once hit by them, the creature will lose its combat effectiveness within a short period of time. If not treated in time, it is very likely to die from poisoning.

This small wolf beast is called "New Mutated Blue Wolf Beast".

Although the existence of such beasts has never been heard of before, such incidents are not common in beast tides, but they are not rare either.

However, whenever a new type of mutant beast appears, humans always pay a heavy price.

This type of new mutant animal species will often be quickly eliminated by the natural environment and disappear completely.

Otherwise, there would not be only a few mutant wolf beasts among the wolf packs today.

However, at present, once this new type of mutated small wolf beast appeared on a large scale, it immediately caused heavy casualties to the unprepared city defense troops.

If the commander had not cared little about the losses and repeatedly deployed large numbers of reserve troops to force a crossing of the city wall.

As well as the members of the "Spirit Team" showing their divine power and providing assistance many times, I am afraid that the consequences of today's war will become unimaginable.

After hearing the responses from the soldiers who had just been replaced, the people at the scene felt extremely heavy in their hearts.

Everyone was puzzled. The brutality of this beast tide seemed to be more serious than described in the rumors.

This made them feel uncertain about their determination to hold on to the city.

Leader Yan Yun stood outside the door with a serious expression and watched for a while.

Then he turned around and went back into the stone house without hesitation, keeping a calm expression on his face.

He knew very well that there was really nothing he could do about the matter at the moment.

Although Anyuan City might eventually fall, with his superb martial arts and the two Immortal-Destroying Pearls in his hands, he is fully confident that he can break out and escape the encirclement of the beasts.

As for the other people in the city, although he wanted to rescue them.

However, at this moment he was unable to offer help due to lack of physical strength, and naturally would not make any decision beyond his ability.

However, the beasts before them were so ferocious that the first batch of guards who were replaced might not be able to get two days' rest. Perhaps they would have to go into battle again tomorrow.

Yan Yun’s inner worries really came true.

At the first light of the third morning, a loud call was heard outside the city gate, informing people that the guards of Tiandong Trading Company should quickly gather at the square.

When Yan Yun appeared in the square calmly, he found that in addition to the members of Tiandong Trading Company, there were hundreds of strong warriors waiting there.

A considerable number of them are actually body cultivators, and there are even some strong ones who hold "spiritual rings" and "spiritual bracelets" and possess spiritual tools.

In addition, the cavalrymen riding on the wolf beasts were also ready to go and lined up neatly on one side.

There is no doubt that these people are undoubtedly the most elite fighters here.

Leader Yan Yun frowned slightly, then walked calmly into the crowd.

After a while, nearly a thousand soldiers had gathered in the square. At this time, a middle-aged man in silver armor appeared in front of everyone. He was the officer named Xiao.

He made some grim speeches to the effect that the pressure on the other line of defence was being doubled.

They were urgently needed to support him, and he waved his hand to signal the team to start moving. This news undoubtedly shocked everyone present.

They originally thought that they were only facing the blue wolf beast that was difficult to resist, but they did not expect that the situation on the other side was even more critical.

Fortunately, all the people gathered here were knowledgeable and brave, so although there was some commotion, everyone quickly boarded the animal carts and galloped towards the other end of Anyuan City.

Apart from a few patrolling cavalrymen, there were almost no other pedestrians on the streets.

After more than an hour of bumpy ride in the animal cart at a high speed, they finally arrived at the other side of the city wall of Anyuan City.

After everyone got off the car, they found that there were already more than a dozen officers waiting around.

Seeing the appearance of Yan Yun and others, they rushed forward one after another. After a fierce debate, they separated these people and sent them to different city towers.

As a result, the members of Tiandong Trading Company were also dispersed. Except for seven or eight ordinary guards who followed Yan Yun, the deputy leader, Zhang Kui, Du Xiao and others were assigned to different places.

The person leading Yan Yun and others was a middle-aged officer with a full beard. From the style of his armor, it could be seen that he was at the same level as the officer named Xiao.

The officer treated Yan Yun and his team quite friendly, especially when he saw that three people in Yan Yun's team each had spiritual tools, which made him show special respect to these three people.

Moreover, his words revealed a deep sense of dependence. However, Yan Yun's strength was so strong that only the members of Tiandong Trading Company around him knew a little about it.

The others naturally did not notice it, so it did not attract too much attention from the suspicious officer.

Yan Yun did not volunteer, but followed the crowd silently and climbed up the city wall they were responsible for guarding.

However, the scene before them shocked everyone present.

The battlements, towers and other facilities on the city walls, which should have been neat and smooth, are now all in ruins, and none of them are intact.

What is even more surprising is that the ground, which was originally bluish-white, has now turned pitch black and emits a disgusting stench.

"It's snake venom."

A burly man wearing a "spiritual bracelet" squatted down, carefully observed the black substance on the ground, and spoke softly.

"Indeed, this is snake venom. Since that battle, more than four or five hundred soldiers under my command have lost their combat effectiveness due to poisoning." After hearing this, the bearded man showed a bitter smile on his face.

"Although red pythons are usually non-venomous, this time the mutation has an additional flying python."

"This python is similar in size to a common red python, but it has the ability to fly briefly using its wings and can spray this black, toxic smoke."

"Just a slight exposure to this toxin in the air is enough to cause skin diseases, and even if it is sprayed on the surface of stone, its toxicity is still strong."

"All the damage to the city walls was caused by this flying python."

"Although my subordinates have been asked to flush the area with water many times, the toxins in the air are still there."

The bearded officer patiently explained to everyone.

"The situation has become increasingly difficult. The original mutant pythons were already powerful enough, and now there are also types that can spray venom. This undoubtedly puts great pressure on the defense."

Someone in the crowd said worriedly.

"If it wasn't because the red python beast was so difficult to deal with, how could your superiors have sent you here?"

"From what I know, there seems to be a new mutant wolf beast appearing over there."

The bearded man stroked his beard and looked extremely serious.

"The Blue Wolf Beast is also a problem. But why haven't we seen those immortal cultivators take action yet?"

"They are good at spells of mass destruction, and have always been the main force against these two groups of beasts."

Someone couldn't help but ask the question again.

"Don't forget, everyone. The leopard beast has not appeared since the beast tide broke out. Those monks must stay to fight against this more troublesome monster bird."

"Otherwise, once our magic power is exhausted, if this monster bird suddenly appears, our Anyuan City will definitely not be able to resist it."

The bearded officer sighed and replied.

After hearing this reply, the others looked at each other, obviously worried about the future of Anyuan City.

"Don't worry too much. The flying snake that can spray venom can only use the poison mist once, and then it needs to rest for a while."

"After two days of fierce fighting, this mutant flying snake has basically lost its offensive capability."

"The main reason why your superiors sent you here to assist is actually to deal with the mutant python. It is almost impossible for ordinary soldiers to harm this kind of python."

"All these traces of damage on the top of the city were caused by this giant python."

"As long as everyone can attract the attention of the mutant python, I believe we can definitely defeat the ordinary red python beast."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, the bearded officer encouraged everyone to speak.

"There is no time to lose. We will do our best to assist you. But..."

The man wearing the magic bracelet was about to say something when suddenly several strange screams came from the sky. The sound was like that of a wild beast or a bird, which made people feel uneasy.

The man's words stopped abruptly, and his face turned pale and weak in an instant.

Not only him, but everyone who heard the scream also changed their expressions.

Sure enough, after a while, hundreds of black spots suddenly appeared in the distant sky.

It was flying towards this side like an arrow, and the strange chirping sound before came from these black spots.

The humans on the city wall reacted extremely quickly, accompanied by loud trumpet sounds.

Everyone rushed to their respective defensive positions and immediately took ready action under the orderly command of the officers.

Almost at the same time, hundreds of brilliant and colorful rays of light suddenly flew out from a tall building in the center of the city and shot straight towards the top of the city where the black spot appeared.

It was the immortal cultivators in the city who came to support.

Most of these cultivators have reached the foundation-building stage, and their flying speed is quite impressive.

In a moment, they arrived at the top of the city wall first, transformed into balls of light, and floated in the sky.

The two leaders were a bald man standing on a round plate, and a man in brocade robes from the Jinyu Sect.

Both of them are in the late stage of foundation building, the realm of false elixir. Among this group of aerial cultivators, their cultivation is the highest.

At this time, the black spot in the distance had already flown to a place several miles away from the city wall, but suddenly stopped, circled at a low altitude, and did not make any further moves.

Standing on the top of the city wall, one could already see the true appearance of these black spots. They were actually monster birds with leopard heads and eagle bodies.

They have a pair of yellow and white wings, their eyes sparkle with purple-red light, and their bodies are colorful.

They look extremely gorgeous, but are only a few feet in size, appearing petite and elegant. At first glance, it is indeed difficult for people to notice how terrifying they are.

However, the monks above the city walls all looked extremely solemn, not daring to show any contempt at all.

Then, several short and rapid strange cries were heard from the flock of evil birds in the distance. The originally empty ground below suddenly became filled with loud hissing sounds and dust flew up, as if a cloud of dust had risen out of thin air.

Afterwards, one red python after another crawled out from the ground. They raised their heads and spit out their snake cores. In the blink of an eye, they gathered into a sea of ​​pythons. Looking around, the red color was rolling, boundless, and there was no end in sight.

The people who had just arrived on the top of the city gasped when they saw this scene. It seemed that their luck was really bad this time. As soon as they came to support, they encountered the joint attack of the leopard beast and the red python beast. Fortunately, there were immortal cultivators to deal with the most difficult monster birds, otherwise, it would be impossible to resist the attacks of these two beasts at the same time.

Just as everyone on the city wall was secretly rejoicing, the group of demon birds in the distance suddenly split into two, and two demon birds, one big and one small, flew out from them.

The smaller demon bird was only about a foot in size, and was covered in a layer of blue light. As its wings fluttered, a faint sound of thunder could be heard. (End of this chapter)
