Chapter 191 Monster siege population evolution

The negative energy in Yanggu County has increased to a very terrifying level. Even during the day, the entire sky becomes gray, as if covered with a layer of gauze.

Various mutant creatures whose strength has been greatly improved through fighting and devouring can now appear normally during the day.

Yanggu County is not a Miao territory. The animals in the mountains and forests are generally not strong. The mutant creatures that have become stronger have no interest in ordinary animals.

They are targeting various towns and cities with large populations and many warriors.

Towns and cities that could still frequently communicate with each other during the day were completely cut off by various mutant creatures.

In broad daylight, there are many mutated creatures constantly trying to rush into the towns, which makes the defense systems of each town fully operational.

Huo Changsheng personally led a force of a thousand men to guard Nanshan Town, which had experienced the Corpse Poison Rebellion.

The population of each village in Nanshan Town was almost completely lost in the last corpse poison rebellion. In such a short period of time, there was not much recovery at all. The defense capabilities here are the weakest.

Moreover, Nanshan Town is located in the southernmost part of Yanggu County. Further south is the mountain connecting to the Miao border. It has the largest number of various animals and is the most dangerous.

It is precisely because of the unfavorable situation that the enemy is strong and we are weak, Huo Changsheng personally led a thousand elite troops to Nanshan Town to deal with the increasingly dangerous situation.

On the city wall of Nanshan Town, Huo Changsheng was covered in armor, holding a bloody long knife in his hand, looking at the setting sun in the west in trance.

"General! The lord has sent information!"

"Those mutated creatures are likely to launch a large-scale attack tonight!"

"The bloody evil caused by the battle will also attract the resentful souls!"

"The Lord wants us to deal with it carefully. If nothing can be done, we can ask the Lord for help!"

A lieutenant under Huo Changsheng came to convey Lin Changqing's order to him.

Although this army under Lin Changqing was only established for a very short time in reality, the soldiers in this army have all gone through a long training period in Shu Ling's [Dharma] illusion.

Psychologically, everyone is a veteran who has experienced many battles.

The officers and soldiers at all levels under Huo Changsheng were all convinced of this young General Pi.

"Then start preparing for war from now on!"

"With our small force alone, we can defend Nanshan Town for a while, but to maintain it for a long time, we will need the cooperation of other people!"

"We must play an organizational leadership role and integrate the power of the entire Nanshan Town!"

"In wartime, no matter which side you belong to, as long as you dare to disobey orders, you can be killed first and then punished!"

"I have negotiated with the official county soldiers and government officials, and they will obey our arrangements during the war!"

"If they dare to cause trouble during the war, they can be killed!"

Huo Changsheng issued the order to prepare for war. He was very reassured about his subordinates, mainly because he was afraid that others would disobey orders during the war and affect the war situation.

It's okay in peacetime, but in wartime, thunderous means have to be used to frighten dissatisfaction.

Huo Changsheng has only practiced for a few days in reality, and his own strength is very low, but the ghost general possessing him is very powerful. In this Nanshan Town, no one can resist whoever he wants to kill.

.

The same is true for his army. They are not strong themselves, but the ghost soldiers and generals they possess are very powerful.

Even the weakest ghost soldiers possess the strength of a high-level Qi Refining Realm. That is to say, the weakest soldier under Huo Changsheng can display the strength of a high-level Qi Refining Realm even under extreme conditions.

If Huo Changsheng lets go and takes full control of Nanshan Town, there will be absolutely no problem.

"Yes! General!"

The same young captain followed the order and left.

The only good thing about Nanshan Town is that the population is not as crowded as other towns.

Under Huo Changsheng's order, all combat personnel in Nanshan Town were organized and entered a state of combat readiness.

All the delicious food in Nanshan Town was brought out and the combatants were given a hearty meal.

All available weapons and equipment in Nanshan Town were taken out and distributed to those combatants who lacked weapons and equipment.

As the situation continues to change, the people of Yanggu County are aware of the approaching danger. Local families and various forces no longer dare to hide their secrets, and contribute a lot of what they can use.

If the town is destroyed, the local families and various forces that are not very strong will not be able to protect themselves.

There were many powerful families and forces who wanted to flee Yanggu County, but they all chose to retreat in the end because outside Yanggu County, the situation seemed to be even worse.

Once this news came, everyone in Yanggu County understood that everyone had no way out and could only fight to the death.

Fortunately, the official has released news, saying that this disaster will not last long, and as long as you hold on, the danger will pass soon.

Only then did everyone see hope and work together to resist the coming attacks.

Of course, this does not include families and forces such as the Lu family that have colluded with the Corpse Ghost Sect. Fortunately, the Lu family has been crippled and does not dare to come out to stir up trouble. Other families and forces also sensed the danger and did not act rashly.

Otherwise, the situation in Yanggu County as a whole will be even more difficult.

Regardless of the specific situation, all the towns in Yanggu County are basically organized like the towns in Nanshan Town and are ready to face the night battle.

------------------

In Nanshan Town, the last trace of the sunset disappeared.

A large number of mutated creatures, which had long been eyeing the people in Nanshan Town, rushed out of their hiding places and rushed towards the town!

Monsters that are mutated from large animals such as tigers, leopards, jackals, wolves, pigs, cattle, deer, sheep, etc., have innate size advantages, and the ones that have won the most in previous fights and devourings.

Of course, there are also many other mutated birds and animals, including insects, snakes, ants and mosquitoes. These mutated creatures seem to have a unified goal, which is to attack humans first.

Why is this happening? Huo Changsheng, the young general, has no time to think about it.

"Shoot!"

Huo Changsheng looked at the various mutated creatures flying towards him and gave the order to attack.

Almost all the bows and arrows in Nanshan Town are concentrated here. There are standard strong bows and arrows equipped by the army, hunting bows made by local families and various forces, and hunting bows made by real hunters.

At this moment, Huo Changsheng gave an order, and thousands of arrows were shot out, knocking down some mutated creatures that were not too strong.

"Shoot!"

"Cum again!"

After three rounds of arrows, a large number of the mutant creatures that rushed over fell down.

Those stronger mutant creatures have already rushed to the city wall, and the mutant creatures that are good at climbing climbed directly up the wall.

Those mutated creatures that are strong but not good at climbing are looking for weak spots in city walls and gates to attack.

Some mutant creatures that are good at digging holes dig holes under the city wall in order to pass through the wall.

A small number of mutant creatures capable of flying jumped directly towards the guards on the city wall.

The possessed ghost on Huo Changsheng blessed him with yin energy. He held a military-standard strong bow, nocked an arrow and drew the bow, and shot down one of the most ferocious mutant eagle monsters with one arrow!

Huo Changsheng's direct subordinates are distributed at various locations on the city wall. They are supported by Lin Changqing and are the most well-equipped. Everyone is in full-body iron armor, with long and short weapons, as well as bows and arrows.

Nearly a thousand people, with the blessing of possessed ghost soldiers and ghost generals, killed all threatening mutant creatures in the air with one round of shooting!

Then, these officers and soldiers who had received extremely strict professional training put away their bows and arrows, picked up long-handled weapons, and attacked the mutated creatures that climbed up the city wall.

With the powerful blessing of possessed ghost soldiers and ghost generals, those mutated creatures rushing up are no enemy of one!

In this intensity of defensive battle, other city defenders do not need to fight in close quarters. They only need to use the spears and stones used by the defenders to attack the mutated creatures under the city wall from a distance.

A thousand well-trained and powerful regular soldiers take the lead, which is the best reassurance and stabilizes the hearts of the entire town.

Mutated creatures do not have a unified organization. Their attacks on human towns seem to be driven by an instinct to pursue evolution.

Therefore, the attack of the mutant creature is very loose, resulting in a greatly reduced offensive power.

And each mutated creature has a different personality. Although they have mutated, their original personalities based on instinct still exist, but they have just become more violent.

Many of these mutated creatures also possess emotions such as fear and terror, and will retreat when they suffer a powerful blow.

Facing the towns and cities that are waiting for them, the mutated creatures cannot take advantage at all.

Therefore, the mutated creature attack on this first night did not cause much damage to various towns in Yanggu County.

This immediately boosted the morale of the people in each town.

Lin Changqing paid attention to the battles in various towns in Yanggu County all night. The mutated creatures attacked the towns on a large scale on the first night, just like a test, and not many mutant creatures participated.

Most of the mutated creatures continue to fight each other to increase their strength.

Under the influence of increasing negative energy, more mutant creatures are constantly being born.

The mutated creatures lost in the attack on the town last night seemed a bit insignificant.

There are also various resentful spirits that are more harmful to ordinary people. Only a few of them participated in last night's attack.

But last night's battle made various resentful spirits discover the strong blood evil aura in each town, and many resentful spirits have quietly gathered around each town.

Lin Changqing felt that this second night, the towns and cities would not be so relaxed.

Lin Changqing discovered another situation. Those powerful mutated creatures that had reached semi-level strength had gained some intelligence and began to form gangs and subdue their subordinates.

Devouring ordinary mutant creatures has almost no effect on improving the strength of half-level mutant creatures. Naturally, they choose to conquer other mutant creatures they encounter.
