Chapter Forty-Four: Peril
Summon the collection, let them come more fiercely!
Xu Ziyuan's face suddenly turned even redder, her gaze fixed on the ground below, no longer looking at Xu Li and Xu Qingshuang. She shook off the entanglement of the two and ran towards the resting place. Before she had taken a few steps, she heard a voice full of jealousy coming from beside her:
"Fox spirit!"
Xu Ziyuan's footsteps paused, because she felt that the voice was directed at herself. Turning her head to look, she found Xu Dongxue staring at her with a jealous gaze. When she saw herself looking over, Xu Dongxue's gaze immediately changed to disdain, and even spat on the ground fiercely.
Xu Ziyuan's face immediately turned bright red, but this time it wasn't shyness, it was anger. She forced herself to hold back her temper, because Xu Ziyuan knew that now wasn't the time for her and her to fight, but in her heart she had already made up her mind, if Xu Dongxue could survive this beast tide without dying, she would definitely give her a profound lesson.
She glared fiercely at Xu Dongxue, and suddenly a look of sympathy appeared on Xu Ziyuan's face:
"What's wrong with the fox spirit? At least it's better than an ugly monster like you! You're ugly, that's not your fault, it's your parents' fault. But if you come out and scare people, then that is your fault!"
After finishing speaking, Xu Ziyuan didn't give Xu Dongxue a chance to speak, and turned around to walk towards the rest area. Behind her back, she heard Xu Dongxue's gritted teeth:
"You..."
Xu Li and Xu Qingxue saw Xu Dongxue's pale face, then turned their heads to look at Xu Ziyuan's back. Xu Li couldn't help but burst out laughing "haha" as she chased after Xu Ziyuan, while Xu Qingxue hadn't expected Xu Ziyuan's words to be so sharp and was left standing there in a daze for a moment before suddenly bursting out laughing "pu chi" and chasing after Xu Ziyuan.
"Ahhh~~"
A neat beast cry came from above, shaking the trees on the mountain to make a "rustling" sound. In an instant, the snow on the leaves fell down.
After the neat beast howls, it is the neat monster galloping sound, the monster does not attack separately like before, but densely rushes to the defensive works of the Xu family like a whole.
The defensive fortifications established by the Xu family were temporary and not very high or solid. Under the cover of the monster's magic attack, some monsters launched a fierce attack on the defensive fortifications, and it seemed that the defensive fortifications were about to be breached. If the defensive fortifications were breached by the monsters at this time, I'm afraid that among the more than 1,000 people in the Xu family, not many would be able to survive.
Xu Haobo was releasing his magic while shouting loudly: "Outer sect disciples, come up for me! Inner sect disciples, release long-range magic to suppress the monster's magic. Outer sect disciples, use talismans to destroy the approaching monsters."
The outer disciples who had just retreated rushed back to the defensive fortifications in a hurry, seeing that many of the demonic beasts were already pressing forward. In a flurry, they tore open the talismans in their hands and threw them outwards. A dazzling flash of light flickered before everyone's eyes, and the demonic beasts that had attacked from close range let out miserable cries as they fell to the ground.
Just as everyone let out a sigh of relief, they saw a group of demonic beasts charging towards them once again. Xu Ziyuan took advantage of the explosion's space to look into the distance and saw that behind the demonic beasts, a tall four-armed ape was standing there, letting out a loud roar. The demonic beasts were ferociously pouncing towards the disciples of the Xu family under the ape's roar.
The dark night had passed, and the heavy snowfall had also stopped. The sun rose from the horizon at dawn, casting a bloody red glow over everything.
"Could it be that the four-armed ape is the leader of this group of demonic beasts?" Xǔ Zǐyān narrowed her eyes slightly, gazing at the four-armed ape in the distance.
The monster's attack was getting fiercer and closer. At this time, Xu Haobo also discovered the four-armed ape in the distance, his eyes flashing with a sharp light as he turned his head and shouted:
"Seventeenth brother sat in command, third brother, fourth brother, twelfth brother, follow me to go and kill that four-armed ape."
As soon as the words fell, his body "whooshed" up into the air with his sword, flying towards the four-armed ape in the distance. At the same time, behind Xu Haobo, three people rose up with a "whoosh whoosh whoosh", closely following Xu Haobo's back as they charged and killed their way towards the four-armed ape.
At the same time, in Zhongdu City, the battle was also being fiercely fought. The city lord's mansion and various families had abandoned their own small calculations and were fully committed to resisting the monster beast. A large amount of supplies were sent to the city head, bows and arrows, rolling logs, talismans and various magical instruments densely attacked the monster beast, a war of attrition was inevitable, even so, some monsters climbed onto the city head.
Tongyu Valley
Above the demon beast, Xu Haobo and four other experts surrounded the Four-Armed Ape, attacking it non-stop. The Four-Armed Ape roared, its four arms swinging vigorously in the air, making it impossible for Xu Haobo and his companions to get close. They could only attack from a distance using magic spells. However, the body of the Four-Armed Ape was exceptionally hard, and Xu Haobo's attacks barely caused any damage to it. Instead, they were forced to retreat in disarray by the magic spells spat out from the ape's mouth.
In the defense of Tongyu Valley, the battle was even more intense. To say that this beast tide seemed to be very large, reaching the scale of a medium-sized beast tide, but in fact it was not. A medium-sized beast tide requires many mid-level demon beasts to participate, while a large-scale beast tide requires high-level demon beasts to participate.
Although the scale is not small this time, there are not many intermediate demon beasts participating, let alone high-ranking demon beasts. Even some intermediate demon beasts have gone to Zhongdu City, and now only one fourth-level demon beast, the four-armed ape, remains in Tongyugou. If there were another fourth-level demon beast, Tongyugou would probably have fallen already.
It's just that, Tongyu Valley is also in a precarious situation. Such an intense battle has caused the disciples of the Xu family to consume their energy very quickly. After one hour, Xu Haobo and his three companions still haven't killed the four-armed ape, but instead, the disciples of the Xu family have almost exhausted their energy. The serious problem is that not only the inner disciples of the Xu family, who have consumed seven or eight tenths of their true yuan, but also the outer disciples' talismans are now down to just one last piece.
"Boom!!"
A fireball shot out of the mouth of a Fire Lion and exploded in front of Xu Dongxue's chest. The defensive fortifications of the Xu family disciples were silent, watching as Xu Dongxue fell to the ground, instantly turned into ashes.
Xu Ziyuan had thought of teaching Xu Dongxue a lesson, but never expected her to die in such a way.
"Boom~~ Boom~~ Boom~~"
Another wave of magic shot towards the Xu family disciples, and some earth-type yao beasts directly released ground spikes under the feet of the Xu family disciples. Many Xu family disciples dodged too late and were suddenly pierced by the ground spikes from their crotch, suspended high in the air on the spikes.
The Xu family disciples were all staring with wide eyes, their hands holding the talismans shaking uncontrollably, it was unclear whether they were scared or furious, the entire Tongyou Valley was filled with a tense atmosphere...
