Although Chen Landi is very brave, it is still useless because there are too many gnawing rats. If there were not a few guards in heavy armor around him to help, with his strength, he would probably be overwhelmed by the rats and eaten into pieces.
Pile of bones.
In comparison, the situation when Tan Bo defeated those exotic beast hunters looked much more dangerous.
These people themselves were not as strong as the guards in the Forging City, and the weapons they used were of poor quality. They fought with the gnawing rats, which was a dangerous situation. Fortunately, everyone worked together to resist, and no harm was suffered for the time being.
But... again, there are too many gnawing rats, and no matter how powerful one's personal force is, it is of no use.
"boom……"
A guard was unable to escape and was thrown to the ground by a gnawing rat. The gnawing rat opened its mouth and bit down with its sharp teeth.
"Kakaka..."
However, this guard was wearing heavy armor. Although the teeth of the gnawing rat were sharp, the teeth were broken and could not do anything to the armor.
"Whoosh!"
A flash of blade flashed, and the gnawing rat was torn in half.
The guard who hacked the rat to death pulled the fallen man up, said nothing, kept everything in silence, and continued to fight.
The guards of the Forging City rushed out of the valley despite the siege of the rats. They could not increase their speed. They fought and fought with blood all the way, leaving behind the corpses of rats that were gnawing at them. However, the surging rats did not decrease at all.
.
After advancing less than 200 meters towards the entrance of the valley, their defensive circle had doubled in size and they were suppressed in a space of 20 meters in diameter.
Wu Jiyang, the captain of the guard, fired the crossbow from time to time, and with every sound, a gnawing rat died.
But in addition to the arrows in the two crossbows, he carried dozens of arrows with him, and he had used most of them. There were only a dozen arrows left in the two crossbows.
From time to time, guards fell down, but fortunately they were wearing heavy armor that covered their whole bodies, and the gnawing rats could not do anything to them. Therefore, even though it looked like a dangerous situation, no one actually died.
However... as time goes by, when everyone's physical strength is exhausted, death may be coming.
Outside the valley, not far away, another guard patrol, whose number far exceeded Wu Jiyang's team, was resting by a small river.
As soon as something unusual happened in the valley, Zhao Yefeng, the captain of the guard patrol team, discovered it.
When Zhao Yefeng thought something bad, he immediately said loudly, "Xiao He, go and inform other teams that there is something abnormal in the valley. Everyone else is following me to support!"
"Yes, Captain." The guard named Xiao He set off immediately.
With no time to wait for others, Zhao Yefeng led more than thirty subordinates and immediately rushed towards the valley where the abnormality occurred.
Soon after, groups of guard patrols from Forge City gathered outside the entrance of the valley. They headed into the valley without stopping.
About a kilometer into the valley, we saw gnawing rats of all sizes running out of the grass and cracks in the rocks.
Without further ado, kill!!!
A hundred guards equipped with fine food rolled through like a torrent of steel, leaving behind gnawing rat corpses all over the place, and rushed towards the depths of the valley.
"Everyone, hold on, there are people outside to help us." Guard Yang Jiankang, who was rushing at the front, was the first to see the situation outside. His face lit up and he shouted to his companions behind him.
"boom……"
He slashed away several gnawing rats with one strike, but a gnawing rat more than two meters long passed by him, and its sharp claws tore several slender wounds on his body.
In the end, there were too many eating rats to take care of, but Yang Jiankang was fine.
"Ah..." came an exclamation from the other side.
Captain Wu Jiyang looked over, his eyes focused.
I saw a guard thrust his sword into the head of a giant gnawing rat nearly two and a half meters long, but was knocked away by the force of the opponent's charge.
"Bang bang bang..."
Wu Jiyang shot without hesitation, and the arrow pinned the gnawing rat to the ground. The guard who was knocked away escaped from danger with the help of his companions on the side.
The guard who was out of danger glanced in Wu Jiyang's direction, said nothing, pursed his lips and continued to engage in the fight between the rats.
Wu Jiyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to patrol. Although the situation was extremely critical, fortunately there were no casualties until now.
Looking towards the mouth of the valley, the guards with fine equipment were already rolling towards this direction like a torrent of steel. They were only three hundred meters away, and no matter how many rats there were, they could not stop their progress.
"Stop rushing out, stay here and wait for them to come." Wu Jiyang ordered loudly.
They are in a swarm of rats, fighting with the swarm. If they move, they cannot maintain their formation. Rescue is coming, so guarding this place is the most correct choice.
Everyone was not stupid, so they immediately stopped and adjusted their formation. The archers were on the inside to cover the people on the outside, and the people holding long knives resisted the attack of the rats head-on.
Vice-captain Chen Landi and several top guardsmen were running around to provide support wherever they were needed.
Blood sprayed out, and broken limbs flew around, but they were all from rats. The corpses were piled up layer after layer, and the ground turned into a muddy field of blood.
More than ten minutes later, the support teams from outside the valley rushed through the rats and came here, layer by layer, protecting Wu Jiyang and the others in the center.
"Wu Jiyang, are you okay?" Zhao Yefeng, who was the first to rush here, asked.
"I'm fine. Kill as many rats as you can." Wu Jiyang shook his head and said.
"Hey, why are those exotic beast hunters moving into the valley? Are they crazy?" Chen Landi, who was panting, said in confusion when he saw the direction in which Tan Boying and his group were breaking out.
"These exotic beast hunters couldn't have chosen the wrong direction because they were confused!" a guard said.
"Hey, you guys, turn around and break out toward us." Zhao Yefeng shouted to Tan Boying and the others.
In the distance, Tan Boying and his party were fighting bloody battles and ignored the shouts behind them. They knew what they were doing and that their choice was correct.
The powerful practitioner named Lin Fei is in the tomb not far away. As long as his group enters it, Mr. Lin Fei will definitely rescue them.
"These guys..." Zhao Yefeng was speechless. He even told the exotic beast hunters to turn around, but they still persisted in their own way.
"Leave them alone. Since they are seeking death, let them be!" One of Zhao Yefeng's subordinates said coldly.
"What's going on? Why is it so noisy outside?"
After solving the bloodthirsty tree and harvesting the spiritual crystal, Lin Fei came out of the grave.
After seeing the gnawing rats all over the mountains and plains in front of him, he was immediately stunned, "I haven't seen you for a while, why is it like this outside?"
"Mr. Lin Fei!!!" Tan Boying, who was about to lose his hold, shouted in surprise when he saw Lin Fei walking out of the big thief's grave.
Lin Fei, who saw Tan Boying and others surrounded by gnawing rats, immediately deployed his mental power and moved towards those gnawing rats.
"Zhizhizhi..."
The gnawing rats shrouded in mental power froze, as if they were being stared at by some terrible beast, and their legs were so frightened that they became weak.
"Kacha, kacha..."
Tan Boying and others discovered the abnormal situation of the gnawing rats, and immediately exploded with all their strength, killing the gnawing rats blocking the road like chopping melons and vegetables, and quickly ran towards Lin Fei's location.
"call……"
When these exotic beast hunters came to Lin Fei, many of them fell down and collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.
"What's going on?" Lin Fei asked.
"Mr. Lin Fei, we didn't know that these gnawing rats suddenly appeared." Tan Boying wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Oh." Lin Fei nodded, looked into the distance, and found that the guards of the Forging City were blocked by a wild bull beast that ran out of nowhere.
This bison that suddenly appeared in the valley was not very big, only about two meters high with all four hooves on the ground, and had a pair of thick snow-white horns, like two scimitars.
Different from the common bison beasts, this cow's body is covered with pitch black scales, cold and eerie, with a metallic luster.
A bull roar was as loud as thunder, making most of Wu Jiyang's group's heads buzz as if they were going to explode.
"Exotic beast, black-armored white-horned ox!" Zhao Yefeng stood at the front of the crowd and said in a deep voice.
There was a guard with a sword on his shoulder. He stepped forward to look at the black-armored white-horned bull and said, "I'll do it!"
"You stand back, I'll come!" Zhao Yefeng drew out his spiritual sword and rushed over with a swipe.
"Captain Zhao, be careful." Someone reminded loudly.
Wu Jiyang frowned as he watched Zhao Yefeng rushing forward, and took the time to recover his physical strength and psychic abilities.
"Moo...!"
The roar of the black-armored and white-horned beast is like thunder, visible to the naked eye, and circles of sound waves radiate from its mouth like water ripples.
"Puff puff puff..."
Wherever the sound wave passed, all vegetation was shattered.
"Kill!" Zhao Yefeng's eyes were focused, and he jumped into the air. The long sword in his hand bloomed with light golden light, and the sword light surged out.
"Moo...!" Seeing the enemy coming, the black-armored and white-horned beast roared, the sound was like thunder, there was terrifying sound wave radiation, and the air was like undulating water.
"Buzz buzz..."
The pale golden sword light entered the sound wave range, its ferocious momentum suddenly decreased, and finally shattered into pieces.
"What!" Zhao Yefeng screamed. His eyes widened while he was in the air, and he twisted his body and retreated decisively.
The sword light he slashed was actually roared to pieces by the black-armored, white-horned ox beast. This was amazing. The power awakened by the beast in front of him was no small matter.
"Zhao Yefeng, be careful, the power awakened by that strange beast is sound waves." Someone from a distance shouted at Zhao Yefeng.
"I know, I was just testing it out just now. It's just a strange beast at the beginning of the second stage. Watch me kill it..."
Being forced back by a beast that was weaker than him, Zhao Yefeng's face darkened, he couldn't stand it anymore, and he charged forward again with his sword.
At this time, his whole body was filled with spiritual light, and he passed through the sky like a golden light and shadow, moving very fast.
However, the black-armored and white-horned ox beast couldn't stand and be beaten. After a roar, it rushed out with all four hooves on the ground. The ground trembled and roared, and the mud waves rolled. It was obviously extremely powerful.
"Moo..."
The big black-armored white-horned beast roared, and charged at Zhao Yefeng with its two scimitar-like snow-white horns.
"Get out of my way, don't block the road!" Zhao Yefeng yelled.
The long sword in his hand thrust out straight, the tip of the sword flashed, and when it cut through the air, it produced a harsh buzzing sound.
"Qiang!"
A loud noise came, and sparks flew everywhere, but the black-armored white-horned beast shook its head, and its snow-white horns withstood Zhao Yefeng's sword. Not only that, the huge power of the black-armored white-horned beast even knocked Zhao Yefeng away.
The top flew out.
"The horn of this black-armored and white-horned beast is so strong... Its strength is too great. I can't bear it. Come and help me." Zhao Yefeng felt that his right hand holding the sword was sore and numb, and he couldn't help it.
Being brave again, he hurriedly asked for help from his companions.
Upon hearing Zhao Yefeng's plea for help, some captain-level guards put down their gnawing rats and immediately rushed over to provide support.
"Captain, be careful!" came an exclamation, and Zhao Yefeng's subordinates roared and rushed towards him desperately.
When the black-armored and white-horned ox beast hit Zhao Yefeng, its hooves stomped on a big tree, shattering the tree. It jumped up hard and hit Zhao Yefeng, who was flying backwards.
"Uh..." Zhao Yefeng's eyes bulged, his chest was poked by a horn, and his face turned red.
At the critical moment, he stepped on the head of the black-armored, white-horned ox with his toes, and used the force to leap out.
"Bang, bang, bang..." Zhao Yefeng's subordinates rushed over, wielding spears, broadswords and sharp swords at the black-armored, white-horned ox beast, causing sparks to fly.
"Moo!"
The black-armored, white-horned ox beast had to give up chasing Zhao Yefeng. With a roar, more than a dozen of Zhao Yefeng's guards turned pale, and some of them quickly retreated with blood spilling from the corners of their mouths.
The scene was astonishing. Although the black-armored and white-horned ox beast was forced to retreat and besieged by a dozen of Zhao Yefeng's subordinates, nothing happened.
Their weapons slashed at the scales of the black-armored and white-horned beast, leaving only some white marks and unable to break through the opponent's defense.
"It is indeed a beast that is famous for its defense. It is really scary." Tan Boying, who was standing next to Lin Fei, frowned slightly when he saw that Zhao Yefeng and his subordinates could not do anything about the black-armored and white-horned beast.
"Those guards in the Forging City didn't give you any trouble just now, did they?" Lin Fei suddenly asked as he looked at the battle in the distance.
"Ah?" Tan Boying was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I told them truthfully that those people were robbers. After they verified our identities, they did not make things difficult for us."
"Yeah." Lin Fei nodded.
After the captain-level guards arrived, the black-armored and white-horned bull beast sensed the danger and retreated decisively while roaring, but it was not very agile after all. With a clang, one of its snow-white horns was cut off.
"Bang bang bang..."
The large black-armored white-horned ox with one horn cut off moved its hooves and ran away decisively.
"It's not that easy to run away!" Zhao Yefeng, who had been pushed twice, didn't want to let the opponent go, so his figure flashed and he chased after him.
Both the man and the cow were very fast, and they appeared hundreds of meters away in a moment.
