Just when Lin Mo showed up to fight off the sandworm beast, several high-level monks gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
"The situation is out of control. I think it's time for us to make a strategic withdrawal." An old man said.
"You mean we should abandon this city and escape for our own lives?" asked another man in brocade clothes.
"We can no longer defend this place. If you stay here, your sacrifice will be in vain." The old man shook his head and sighed, "Each of us has more important things to do, and we cannot bury our bones here."
Everyone was silent for a moment, and they all understood that the old man's words were correct. There was no need for them to participate in this seemingly hopeless battle.
"Okay, then each of us can figure it out for ourselves. I wish all the monks a bright future." After everyone said goodbye, they unfolded their magic weapons and left this city that was destined to be destroyed.
With the complete collapse of the city wall, huge groups of monsters continued to pour into the city, and Anyuan City finally fell on the edge of destruction.
People were crying and screaming everywhere, houses collapsed, and flames shot into the sky. The trapped residents fled in panic, trampling on their own people in an attempt to survive.
"Help!" A woman cried while holding her child, and was cornered by three giant pythons.
"Everyone, get out of here!" A strong man wielded a wooden stick and fought with several sandworm beasts on the way home.
The entire city fell into unprecedented chaos and collapse, and human blood and lives became victims of this catastrophe... All of this is not over yet.
Facing the collapse of the city and the invasion of monsters, the monks made different choices. Some decided to return to the city to try to save their relatives and compatriots. They believed that no matter what, they could not abandon the people of the city, let alone let the monsters
The beasts are on the rampage. These monks are determined to defend their homeland, even in the face of great danger, to protect those they love.
On the other hand, there are also some monks who choose to leave the city. They believe that the city is no longer safe and that staying here will only lead to death. These monks hope to find a safe place outside or join other monk organizations to continue practicing and survive.
.
Just when the monsters almost destroyed the entire city, they suddenly stopped attacking the city and retreated outside the city in groups.
The reason was unknown and people were confused. Soon, several high-ranking monks came outside the city.
One of the men in brocade robes was Elder Qin of the Jinyu Sect. "What's going on? Why did the monster retreat suddenly?" He murmured to himself.
Two young disciples nearby replied: "Master, we guess that the monsters were summoned by some higher power. They may have more important tasks."
Elder Qin nodded: "In any case, this gives the survivors in the city a chance to breathe. We must use this rare opportunity to contact and rescue all those who still have hope of survival."
After saying that, he entered the city, seemingly looking for something.
As soon as Elder Qin entered the city, he saw an arm sticking out from under a pile of rubble, as if someone was buried underneath.
He waved his hand and moved the rubble away, and a young man crawled out from underneath with a little girl in his arms.
"Who are you?" Elder Qin asked.
"I am Lin Mo, and I escaped." The man replied.
The little girl hugged Lin Mo tightly and never let go, looking at Elder Qin warily.
"This little girl seems to have a special relationship with you." Elder Qin said thoughtfully.
"I just rescued her, and we haven't gotten to know each other yet," Lin Mo said.
However, the little girl's performance seemed to be more than that...she seemed to be very dependent on this strange man.
At Elder Qin's suggestion, Lin Mo and the little girl were taken away from the city.
The group stepped onto the flying sword and flew towards the hills in the distance. The little girl still held Lin Mo tightly.
"She seems to be very dependent on you." A female disciple said with a smile.
"Maybe." Lin Mo said lightly.
Soon, they came to a hill and landed in front of a wooden house.
At this time, the little girl was seriously injured and had lost consciousness in his arms.
There were two people standing at the door of the wooden house, a man and a woman, seemingly waiting for something anxiously.
"Madam, we are back!" Lin Mo shouted, and the two people were startled when they heard the sound and hurriedly came forward to greet her.
"Lin Mo, you are finally back! This is..." A middle-aged woman named Madam exclaimed when she saw the little girl in Lin Mo's arms.
"The little girl who was rescued is seriously injured. I beg Madam to treat her quickly." Lin Mo stepped forward and begged.
The lady nodded and hurriedly led Lin Mo into the wooden house. Several people had gathered in the wooden house, and they seemed to be survivors who had escaped from Anyuan City. They all showed surprised expressions when they saw the little girl in Lin Mo's arms.
"This child is not..." an old man in gray said.
"It's true that she is the granddaughter of City Lord Zhao. Lin Mo just rescued her." Madam explained, "Get treatment quickly and we'll talk about other things."
Lin Mo gently placed the little girl on the bed in the room, and his wife began to heal her injuries. With the support of his wife's magical power, the little girl's injuries quickly improved and she woke up soon.
"Diel, you're awake!" The old man in gray clothes was overjoyed to see her awake.
Lin Mo looked at the joyful scene of their reunion, smiled slightly, and turned to leave.
"Thank you so much for saving Dai'er, the hero." The old man in gray stepped forward and said with a smile, "I wonder what the hero's name is?"
"Lin Mo, this is purely a coincidence." Lin Mo nodded humbly, "Since the little girl is safe and sound, I won't disturb her."
"Brother Lin is so kind and kind, we will definitely repay you." Madam also stepped forward and said, "I wonder if Brother Lin is willing to hear what happened to us? Such a large-scale animal tide is unusual."
Lin Mo thought for a while and decided to stay and listen to their experiences. Everyone in the wooden house began to tell the whole story of Anyuan City being attacked by a herd of beasts, and how he managed to escape. Lin Mo also joined their discussion.
After some exchanges, he became more concerned about the origin of this beast tide.
"Such a large-scale beast tide is unprecedented!" Mrs. Fang sighed, "Our caravan was almost completely wiped out, and we suffered heavy losses."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Yes, even our Anyuan City cannot resist a beast tide of this scale and is directly destroyed." Zhang Kui also sighed,
"I'm afraid that the entire Zhao country will not escape disaster."
"You are right, this is indeed extremely unusual." Lin Mo frowned and said, "From what I have seen, beast tides have always been limited to the wilderness, and rarely directly attack human cities."
"Yes, humans and monks in the city have never interfered with each other." The man named Qin nodded, "It seems that it is no accident that the beast tide attacked Anyuan City this time."
The man surnamed Qin, who was wearing a brocade robe, said in a serious tone: "The outbreak of beasts usually does not come close to the city. The spiritual energy in the city is thin, so immortal cultivators are unwilling to go there, and the beasts should also avoid it."
Lin Mo nodded in agreement: "Yes, this is indeed strange. Moreover, we also saw some spiritual beasts in the city, and they seemed to be guiding the herd."
Pan Qing interjected: "This may be someone deliberately guiding the herd to attack Anyuan City, but what is the purpose?"
"Is there someone behind the scenes?" Lin Mo's eyes flashed with light.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." The man surnamed Qin said solemnly, "We will send people to investigate the source of this beast tide. If there is someone behind the scenes, we will never forgive you!"
"No matter what, we must be more vigilant." Mrs. Fang said steadily, "Brother Lin, if you have nothing important to do, can you help me find out the truth about this beast wave?"
"That's what I meant." Lin Mo nodded, "I'm also very interested in the cause of this beast tide. If we can find out the truth, we may be able to avoid even greater disasters."
"That's easy to say." The man surnamed Qin nodded with satisfaction, "We will send people to investigate first, and Brother Lin can join in later. Before finding out the truth, we must remain on high alert to prevent accidents."
Lin Mo and everyone reached a consensus and decided to join forces to investigate the beast tide that shocked Zhao State. They left the wooden house and began to prepare for the upcoming test.
Lin Mo and others were gathering in the wooden house to discuss the attack on Anyuan City by a tide of beasts, when suddenly a cry of surprise came from outside.
"Madam, we are back with the young lady!"
A middle-aged man pushed in the door with a little girl in his arms, followed by several maids. When the little girl saw Mrs. Fang, she was so happy that she threw herself into her arms and burst into tears.
"Madam, I'm back!"
"Diel, just hope you're okay!" Mrs. Fang also hugged her excitedly.
It turned out that this little girl was Dai'er, the granddaughter of City Lord Zhao, and the daughter of Mrs. Fang and his wife. She was separated from her family in the beast tide, and was later rescued by Lin Mo.
Dai'er raised her head, her eyes flashing with gratitude, and her voice trembled as she said, "Thanks to Brother Lin Mo, he saved me and brought me back."
"Thank you so much for saving Dai'er, this hero." The middle-aged man stepped forward and thanked Lin Mo.
"This is purely a coincidence, you are too polite." Lin Mo waved his hand.
Lin Mo stood aside and watched this scene silently. He did not want to get involved in the Zhao family's affairs, but just rescued Dai'er out of kindness. Seeing that the girl was safe, he felt a little relieved, but his heart was still full of questions.
"I admire the hero for being so noble." The middle-aged man praised, "Heroes don't stay. I will definitely come back to visit and thank you!"
Seeing that they were sincere, Lin Mo stopped refusing. He stroked Dai'er's head, told her to take care of herself, and then turned and left the cabin. Dai'er watched Lin Mo go away, her heart full of gratitude.
When Lin Mo was about to leave the cabin, Mrs. Fang stepped forward to stop him: "Brother Lin, can you stay for a moment? I have a favor to ask."
Lin Mo turned around after hearing this and looked at Madam Fang: "Please tell me, Madam, what are your orders?"
"This time our caravan encountered a tide of beasts in the wild and suffered heavy losses." Mrs. Fang sighed, "But there was a blessed place that survived, and my servant discovered a strange elixir there."
"What kind of elixir?" When Lin Mo heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"It's not confirmed yet, but according to the servant's description, this medicine is extremely precious to monks. It can enhance their cultivation and increase the chance of forming pills." Mrs. Fang explained.
"This matter should not be taken lightly." Lin Mo said in a deep voice, "If it is a top-quality elixir, its efficacy is extraordinary."
"Exactly!" Expectation filled Mrs. Fang's eyes, "I hope Brother Lin can help me and go with Brother Qin to deal with this matter and retrieve this precious elixir."
Lin Mo thought for a while, then nodded and said: "In that case, I will go with Brother Qin to find out. But the matter of the elixir needs to be discussed in detail, and I cannot make a promise lightly."
"Brother Lin is serious, we just want to find out the truth of this matter." Mrs. Fang said with a smile.
The two reached a consensus, and Lin Mo also stayed temporarily. After investigating the mysterious elixir, Lin Mo would decide whether to assist. With such an important treasure, he had to go and find out.
Lin Mo and others had just reached an agreement with Mrs. Fang and were going to investigate the mysterious elixir, when suddenly a cry of surprise came from the distant night sky.
Everyone looked in that direction and saw a purple light and shadow speeding through the branches and leaves above the woods, followed by two black shadows that looked like birds.
Behind the purple light, two demonic birds quickly chased after them, their wings flapping and sending out gusts of wind.
The figure in the purple light seemed to be injured and could not move very flexibly. The two demon birds behind took the opportunity to attack! The figure in the purple light hurriedly used his skills to block it, and the purple light flashed, and he blocked the attack forcefully.
"Looking at the sword control skills, it seems that he is from the Jinyu Sect." The man named Qin frowned.
Suddenly, the figure in the purple light suddenly turned to one side and avoided the sharp beak of one demon bird, but another demon bird launched an attack. Its sharp claws cut through the air and attacked the figure in the purple light.
The figure also noticed the presence of others and turned back the same way to approach Lin Mo and the others.
"Save me!" He shouted, and before he could finish his words, he had already fallen into Lin Mo's arms.
Lin Mo caught him and turned around to leave. Not to be outdone, the two demon birds pounced on him and continued to attack.
"You take him away, and I'll hold them back." The man surnamed Qin shouted.
Lin Mo nodded, pulled the man in purple and left with his sword. The man named Qin and Mrs. Fang dealt with the two demon birds with all their strength, starting a fierce battle...
Lin Mo took the injured man in purple and hid in the mountain forest, and finally got rid of the pursuit of the demon bird. The man seemed to be seriously injured and had lost consciousness in Lin Mo's arms. Lin Mo found a cave and settled him down first.
Then began to treat his injuries...
In the woods, two falcon-like demonic birds shuttled among the branches, their red eyes vigilantly scanning every corner of the forest. A young woman in palace clothes stood on the treetop, holding a silver whip, looking indifferent.
Looking down.
"That damn human dared to touch a member of my clan. He will pay a heavy price!" the young woman hissed, "Have you two found the girl?"
The two demon birds heard the sound and flew to the young woman, bowed and replied: "Madam, we have searched the surrounding mountains and forests for ten miles, but have not found the whereabouts of the girl named Dai'er."
The young woman's beautiful eyes turned cold, and she swiped her whip at the two demonic birds. The demonic birds dodged slightly, and the silver whip drew a cold light in the air.
"Trash! I can't even find a little girl. It seems that I raised you in vain!" the young woman said angrily.
"Madam, please calm down, we will continue to search harder." The demon bird begged.
