Donghong Township. On the dry river bed, seven or eight elite swordsmen of the Yu family, as well as two sword masters of the Yu family, plus a green-clothed guard from the Demon Slaying Division, were holding a smaller beast with black markings all over its body. It looked like a leopard but not a leopard, but like a wolf. Monsters other than wolves surrounded and attacked. However, with the combined efforts of everyone, it was still difficult to take down this monster. Under the siege of the crowd, it was constantly rushing left and right, waving its sharp claws from time to time, and blood splashed. Black-striped demon leopard! Being able to deal with the siege of so many people, and even three Yijin Realm existences, there is no doubt that it is a type of third-level monster. Don't fight hard, entangle it, don't let it escape! Wei Dinghe in Qingyi drank loudly. If everyone fights to the death, even if they can kill this black-striped demon leopard in the end, at least a few people will be killed or injured. Even several of their Yijin realm martial arts masters may not be able to survive without damage, but this is far away from the towns of Donghong Township. It's very close, but there's no need to fight to the death. You just need to trap it here, and support will arrive soon. Although there are manned patrols arranged in key places throughout Donghong Township, it is inevitable that there will still be fish that slip through the net. Small and fast ones like the black-striped demon leopard sneak in at night and cannot be taken precautions in advance. Roar!
The black-striped demon leopard saw that no one nearby was willing to fight with him, and only three people in the Yijin realm trapped it in the center. Even if it didn't move, the opponent would not attack, so it let out a deep roar. After all, it was a monster, not an ordinary beast. At this time, it had vaguely sensed that the situation was not good. After a sudden roar, it rushed to the right, resisting Ding He's knife, and rushed out of the encirclement. not good. Ding He's complexion changed slightly. If this monster escapes, it will be very troublesome to pursue it later. But his speed was not as fast as the opponent's. After the black-striped demon leopard rushed over, the sword he swung could no longer catch up. but. Just when the black-striped demon leopard was about to break out of the siege and was about to flee, a figure in white suddenly appeared, and a beam of sword light swept away diagonally, forcing the black-striped demon leopard to stop and forcibly contain it. He was driven back into the siege again. The person who came was none other than Xu Hongyu. My lord is here! Many swordsmen from the Yu family were perked up when they saw this, and they all stepped forward to restrain him with their swords. Xu Hongyu's strength was originally enough to deal with any third-level monster, and most of them could be killed independently. At this time, many subordinates were restraining him, and in just a few moves, he penetrated the throat of the black-striped demon leopard. My lord's swordsmanship is superb... Ding He gasped slightly and looked at the body of the black-striped demon leopard and flattered him. Xu Hongyu didn't respond, she just quickly disposed of the body of the black-striped demon leopard and took away the blood essence. Just as she was looking into the distance, Xiao He's figure came from not far away. Miss, there is something strange in the direction of the Wasteland Mountain. Someone came to report that there was an earthquake there and a mountain collapsed. Xiao He came to Xu Hongyu's side and quickly stated. Earthquakes, landslides... Xu Hongyu hesitated slightly, then thought of something, and said: Is it the terrain change caused by the severe drought? There may be some rare things coming out, but at this time of monster chaos, the Wasteland Mountain is not safe.
I also thought that Chen Mu was on the other side of Huangyuan Mountain, and he might go there to investigate. However, compared to any treasures, Chen Mu's safety was more important. After all, Huangyuan Mountain was located at the junction of two counties. If news could be obtained here, how could it be over there in Huaiyu County? The same goes for home, but Chen Mu has always acted safely, so there shouldn't be any trouble. Xiaohe whispered: How about I go over and take a look. Although she can't help much in terms of strength and will become a burden when entering the Wasteland Mountain, she is still a figure in Yijin Realm and can at least help monitor the situation from the outside. Xu Hongyu pondered for a moment. In fact, she also wanted to go there, but starting from today, various places reported that monsters appeared much more frequently than yesterday, and they seemed to be more manic. Monsters such as black-striped monster leopards even sneaked into the countryside at night. , if she leaves the village, the threat of this third-level monster will increase a lot. If he ignored the past, failed to help Chen Mu and even caused trouble, then it would undoubtedly be a mess. Just thinking about it. suddenly. A whistle sounded in the southern sky. Xu Hongyu, Xiao He and Ding He all looked up at the same time. I only heard that whistle. After it shot straight into the sky, it did not gradually die out. Instead, it made a turn and whistled again, followed by the third whistle, three times in a row, resounding through the sky. Three whistles! Everyone’s expressions couldn’t help but change! In the midst of the demonic chaos, three whistles are the most serious situation. Even the whistle alone cannot fully determine the situation. Someone must be summoned to know the detailed situation. But no matter what the situation is, three whistles sound together, which means that people in one place must gather. Walk! Xu Hongyu reacted quickly and immediately gave an order in a deep voice: Mobilize the remaining manpower in the township and notify the surrounding areas. All village residents in the direction of the third ring will evacuate. Once specific news comes, notify the county government immediately... As she returned to the countryside, she quickly gave out orders. After the instructions were issued, people stationed in the countryside and surrounding areas who had nothing to do for the time being gathered from all sides and headed south where the three-ring whistle had been sent. On the way south. There were other people from all sides who had received the three-ring whistle. The number was increasing, and soon there were nearly a hundred people. Not only were the people brought by Xu Hongyu, but also some good players from the countryside. Being mobilized. Not too far south along the way, the team led by Xu Hongyu directly met the person who came to report the news. The person was a guard in black. He seemed to be running at full strength. When he arrived in front of Xu Hongyu, he was already out of breath. . Sir... there is a strange movement in the direction of Nangou Mountain. There are a large number of monsters, which seem to be gathering from all directions. There are hundreds of them, both in the third and second levels. They are fighting each other. They have not gone north yet... Hundreds of monsters! Xu Hongyu couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard this. No wonder the whistle was blown three times. Generally, it is very uncommon for monsters to gather on this scale in the countryside. Even during a severe drought, after all, monsters are different from people and do not follow order. When hundreds of monsters gather together, they will often fight to the death first. But since there is an abnormal gathering of hundreds of monsters, it is extremely possible to attack north after the chaos. It is indeed necessary to gather manpower in advance to deal with it no matter what. Keep on going. After Xu Hongyu heard the report, she immediately spoke in a deep voice. The team continued south, and after traveling for about seven or eight miles, a messenger came again. This time it was a county official. He was almost out of breath and his face turned pale. He came to meet the team. After that, he said intermittently: Sir...the monsters from the south are attacking...
Walk! Xu Hongyu looked calm and continued to move forward. Finally, after walking forward for another two or three miles, we came to a high slope. Looking to the south, we saw a large number of strange monsters on the flat land, rushing towards us from a distance. Although they were not in a group on the whole. , are all far apart from each other, but they are everywhere at a glance. It is no exaggeration to say that there are hundreds. Every unit, follow me to attack, don't scatter your troops, and destroy all the troops you hit! Xu Hongyu's cold voice echoed across the wasteland. Although the scale of the monsters is a bit too large, with hundreds in number, there are very few even first-order ones. Most of them are second-order ones. At a glance, you can see quite a few third-order monsters. If they were completely gathered together and collided with each other like armies, then The strength of Xu Hongyu's troops was at least two or three times worse, and they were completely unable to compete. But after all, the monsters are not in order, and the formations are scattered and far apart. A little wisdom is not very high. Even if the troops are insufficient, as long as they are localized and defeated with more and less, they can still be defeated gradually with superior force. yes! Many of the green-clothed and even black-clothed guards of the Demon Slaying Department who had experience in hunting monsters all responded in a deep voice at this time, but some of them were also inexperienced. Those who were dealing with monsters for the first time felt a little uneasy when they saw the monsters all over the mountains and plains. kill! Xu Hongyu was dressed in white and took the lead with someone on the high slope. She rushed down and came to the nearest second-level monster. With the sword in her hand, she struck the second-level monster on its head. The people at the rear, including the maid Xiao He, the Tsing Yi Wei Ding He from the Demon Slaying Department, and others all rushed down at this time, and soon collided with the monsters coming straight towards them on the wasteland. The so-called importance of decision-making is undoubtedly reflected at this moment. If the troops are dispersed and try to form a line, blocking the path of all monsters and forming a scattered fight, they can only block it for a short time and will soon be completely defeated. However, Xu Hongyu ordered to concentrate the superior troops and attack more with fewer attacks, and soon they will be defeated. Kill a large number of monsters one by one. Those monsters that were far away and not on the interception path did not take this opportunity to directly cross the high-slope defense line. Instead, they all noticed the battlefield on Xu Hongyu and others' side, and soon began to gather from all directions. Come on, there is no need to take the initiative to divide the troops to attack. soon. Not long after, after a fierce battle, although the team led by Xu Hongyu suffered some casualties, the proportion was less than one tenth, while the monster side suffered several times casualties, killing at least fifty or sixty second-level monsters, and ten There were several third-level monsters, and many of them fled due to injuries. But even so, Xu Hongyu, Xiao He and others on the battlefield did not show any signs of relaxation or joy. On the contrary, the longer the fight went on, the more solemn their expressions became. because. The number of monsters killed, injured and fleeing has exceeded a hundred. However, at a glance from the wasteland, the monsters attacking from afar are not much different from the first ones, and they are still popping up here. This is no longer just over a hundred, but a number of at least two or three hundred! How come there are so many?! Xu Hongyu struck out with another sword, and with the cooperation of Xiao He and others, he killed a third-level monster. His chest rose and fell slightly, and he panted slightly for a while. He looked at the wasteland in the distance, with a trace of surprise in his eyes. The number of people gathered was undoubtedly too much. The strangest thing was that the monster she just killed was clearly a type that would be stimulated and manic during a severe cold. It was clearly a severe drought, but it also looked agitated. And the appearance. Something's wrong! Xu Hongyu instinctively felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't think of the cause of the problem for a while. Looking at the monsters that were still coming in like before, her heart became more and more solemn. The situation is not good. Although the monsters were disorderly, they concentrated on fighting with their superior force, and always maintained a local siege with more and less, but the problem was that this kind of fierce fighting was also very draining of physical strength. After this fierce battle, she could still continue to fight. However, some warriors who are only in the realm of meat training suffer from serious loss of energy and blood, and their physical strength is obviously declining.
After defeating hundreds of monsters, the damage was less than one-tenth, but if another hundred were defeated, it would definitely not be that number. It's hard to say whether it can even be stopped. puff! Ding He's body was stained with blood. He penetrated the body of a second-level monster with a knife. Then he gasped twice and exhaled a breath of thick white mist. He glanced at the distance with an ugly expression, quickly stepped back and came to Xu Hongyu's side. Sir, there are too many monsters. It may be disadvantageous to continue fighting. Do you want to retreat temporarily? Under this situation, if we do not retreat to find an opportunity to rest and continue the fierce fighting, the casualties will inevitably increase gradually, and the situation will undoubtedly become worse and worse until the entire line collapses. Xu Hongyu's eyes also changed at this time. The village closest to here had already sent people to evacuate in advance. There was indeed room for a short retreat, but the problem was the current situation. Even if it retreated, it might be difficult to find a chance to breathe. After all, monsters are still coming continuously, and retreating will only move the battle line back. Ding He's intention is probably to give up resistance temporarily, release all the monsters, wait until reinforcements from the county government arrive, and then counterattack again. But in that case, the impact will be really great, hundreds of monsters will rush in. Township, at least several villages will be ravaged by it, and even the township may fall into a demon disaster. But if we don’t withdraw, we can’t hold it back for much longer if we continue to support it. Just when Xu Hongyu frowned and couldn't make up her mind immediately, Xiao He suddenly stretched out her little hand and poked her. Xu Hongyu was startled, then followed Xiaohe's line of sight and noticed on the high slope in the distance, a figure in green clothes coming from the east, holding a fine iron sword in his hand, which was reflected in the setting sun in the west. A long shadow, like stepping on a river with its feet and mountains on its head, stepped down from the high slope and reached the battle line. Something happened and it took some time, but it seems we've made it. Chen Mu came to the front of the battle line, nodded slightly to Xu Hongyu, and then stepped forward. Seeing Chen Mu's figure heading towards the battle line, facing the mountain monsters that were still coming in the distance, Xu Hongyu's pure eyes flashed with a little glimmer, then she glanced at Ding He next to her and said: No need to panic, just keep fighting. But…… Ding He was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to say something more to persuade him, he saw that Xu Hongyu had already moved forward to kill again. Xu Hongyu had obviously planned to retreat just now, but why did she suddenly change her mind? Is it because of Chen Mu who had just arrived? But now, even if Chen Mu has some strength, what can he do with reinforcements alone... The thought stopped abruptly.
