Chapter 43: Ah! I saw it!

  Tomorrow's new book list, those who have collected it, don't forget to collect it!

  The earth rumbled like thunder, and at the end of the mountain valley, a group of dark and ominous beasts suddenly appeared, rushing towards the Tongyu Valley entrance guarded by the Xu family.

  This was a batch of demons that had left Fang Tian City earlier and swept in other directions, just like the first batch they encountered in Zhongdu City. After these demons had swept through the villages outside the city and returned to Fang Tian City, they found that all the demons around Fang Tian City had disappeared without a trace.

  The demonic beasts instinctively sensed the aura of the demonic beasts coming from the direction of Zhongdu City, and they rushed towards Tongyugou in accordance with their previous habits, wanting to rush through Tongyugou to Zhongdu City and reunite with their demonic beast group.

  The people of the Xu family were unaware of these events, and as soon as they saw the appearance of the demon beasts, they thought that Xu Haobo's guess had come true. They believed that a large number of demon beasts had gathered to launch a general attack on Tongyu Valley, and one by one, they couldn't help but feel shocked and frightened, their faces changing color. Along with them, Xu Ziyuan's face also changed color. She absolutely did not think that the demon beasts would really appear in front of her own eyes. She had always thought that all the demon beasts were gathered under Zhongdu City.

  At this time, there was no more time to think about why. Because right in front of Xu Ziyuan, the disciples of the Xu family had already begun to suffer casualties under the beast's attack spell. The first wave of the beast's spell attack alone had caused the loss of over a dozen of the Xu family's disciples. Due to insufficient cultivation, they were unable to release spells and temporarily couldn't help, so the outer sect disciples began to carry back the injured disciples.

  The dead were set aside, and the wounded began treatment. Actually, the outer sect disciples weren't entirely useless; when they left Zhong City, the family had given each of them ten talismans. However, considering the small number of talismans, Xu Haobo temporarily didn't let the outer sect disciples use them, instead wanting to wait until the inner sect disciples' spiritual energy was almost depleted before having the outer sect disciples take over, using the talismans to block the demonic beasts while the inner sect disciples took the opportunity to catch their breath.

  Xu Ziyuan climbed onto a huge boulder, revealing his head as he watched the demon beasts attacking ceaselessly. Inside Tongyu Valley, dense and endless hordes of demon beasts filled the air. At this moment, the benefits of building defensive fortifications became apparent. The disciples of the Xu family hid behind the defenses, continuously releasing spells that dealt massive blows to the demon beasts.

  Xu Ziyuan's gaze swept through the crowd, seeing Second Uncle quietly directing the defense and offense, her heart couldn't help but feel a little more at ease. After all, Xu Ziyuan was experiencing the Beast Tide for the first time, and in the past, she didn't even know what the Beast Tide was. As she searched with her eyes, she saw Xu Lin in the crowd, who was currently using his sword to kill the demonic beasts, his sword finger constantly drawing out spells in the air, his figure fluttering about, elegant to the extreme.

  After nearly two hours, when the inner disciples' true yuan was almost depleted, the demon beast finally dropped a large number of corpses and retreated. Xu Haobo immediately ordered the inner disciples to go and adjust their breath, while the outer disciples moved forward to take position, preparing to use talismans to block the demon beast's second wave of attack.

  Xu Ziyuan stood behind the defensive fortifications, seeing that there were still so many demonic beasts in the valley opposite, and couldn't help but slightly furrow her brow, thinking to herself:

  "So many demon beasts, yet each of the Xu family disciples only has ten talismans. Even if it's just a pure consumption of resources, with over a thousand people on our side, can we hold out against Tongyu Valley?"

  Lost in thought, I couldn't help but feel a little worried and anxious.

  The second wave of the monster's attack began soon. The outer disciples were divided into five teams, each defending a section of the defensive fortifications. Xu Gan, Xu Wen, Xu Tianxiao and Xu Dongxue led their respective subordinates to take up positions, while Xu Ziyuan led the remaining fifteen new disciples to defend a small section of the fortifications, cautiously watching the monsters that were charging over.

  "Let go!"

  "Let go!"

  "Let go!"

  "Let go!"

  Xu Gan, Xu Wen, Xu Tianxiao and Xu Dongxue burst into a frenzy of drinking, their outer disciples tearing open the talismans in their hands and throwing them at the demon beast. In an instant, there was a deafening roar, various spells and colors flashing back and forth. The demon beasts were falling in droves, and Xu Ziyuan saw that even the area he was guarding had been breached by the demon beasts, so he let out a loud shout:

  "Let go!"

  He was the first to throw out the talisman in his hand, and the fifteen people under him also threw out the talismans in their hands. A loud roar erupted in the defensive area in front of Xu Ziyuan, with limbs and flesh flying everywhere.

  A talisman's duration is about a quarter of an hour. When Xu Ziyuan and other outer sect disciples threw out the fifth talisman, Xu Haobo led the inner sect disciples back to the defensive fortifications, replacing the outer sect disciples who went down to rest.

  To say, the outer sect disciples didn't actually consume any of their internal true yuan, but each and every one of them had a poor complexion, as if they had exhausted all of their internal true yuan. That was because the outer sect disciples had never experienced such intense battles before, had never been so close to danger, and the mental pressure brought about physical exhaustion. So, as soon as they heard that they could go down and rest, each and every one of them immediately felt their hands and feet turn weak.

  Taking advantage of the fifth talisman's remaining power, the outer and inner disciples quickly switched positions. Xu Ziyuan retreated down to the construction site, where he ran into Xu Lin coming up. As soon as Xu Lin reached Xu Ziyuan's side, he stuffed a stack of talismans into Xu Ziyuan's hand and said in a low voice:

  "Take it, for self-defense!"

  Xu Ziyuan's eyes swept over the talisman in her hand and she hastily handed it back to Xu Lin, saying softly:

  "I don't want it! You keep it for self-defense!"

  Xu Lin quickly stuffed the talisman back into Xu Ziyuan's hand and said in a low, urgent voice:

  "Stop arguing, I have some savings for daily use, I'm going up, you take care of yourself!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, he strode away and rushed up to the defensive fortifications. Watching Xu Lin's receding back, a warm current surged in Xu Ziyuan's heart, and suddenly an idea flashed through her mind:

  "It feels great to be cared about by others!"

  "Hmph!"

  A soft giggle came from beside her, and Xu Ziyuan finally woke up from her daze. She quickly put the talisman into her storage bag and turned to look at Xu Li, who was smiling at her with a mischievous grin. Pretending not to understand, she asked:

  "Watch me do what?"

  Xu Li smiled and said: "Look at you, someone cares about you, I'm happy for you!"

  Xu Ziyuan's face turned a bit red, and when she saw Xu Li open her mouth to say something, she stretched out her hand and pinched Xu Li's waist, saying:

  "What nonsense are you talking about, little girl?"

  Xu Li smiled and dodged while pointing to Xu Qingxue on the left, saying: "It's not just me who saw it, Qingxue also saw it. Sister Ziyan, don't try to cover it up!"

  Xu Ziyuan turned her head to look at Xu Qingshuang, and saw that Xu Qingshuang's calm face made her feel a little relieved. She thought to herself, someone like Xu Qingshuang with this kind of temperament would definitely not notice these things. What Xu Ziyuan didn't expect was that Xu Qingshuang opened her pure big eyes, nodded seriously and said:

  "Ah, I see!"

  Xu Ziyanyan suddenly collapsed!
