After a long time, Shui Ling'er seemed to calm down, as if she had regained her former coolness. She raised her tear-stained cheek and whispered: "Senior Brother Yun, the night is already dark, please rest early."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and left. Yunfeng looked at Shui Ling'er's leaving figure and was stunned. Then he sighed secretly and entered the tent to rest.

Yunfeng had just laid down when suddenly, a shrill fox howl broke the tranquility of the night. Then a harsh warning sound sounded, and the patrol guard came to report: "A large number of wild beasts are gathering here ahead. Everyone may have encountered a wild beast."

The tide needs to be prepared immediately to resist."

A beast tide refers to a situation where a large number of beasts gather and attack human villages or towns due to extreme climate or other abnormal factors. Beast tides rarely occur, but every time they occur, they cause considerable casualties, even in villages with poor defenses.

The whole village was destroyed and no one survived.

Judging from the patrol report, this beast tide is considered a small one, with only two to three hundred animals. If such a small beast tide is in a town, it will naturally not pose a threat. It can be easily solved by relying on city walls, heavy crossbows and other military equipment.

However, in this helpless wilderness, it is still unclear whether the escort agency, which has only a hundred people, can withstand this beast tide.

The North and South Escort Bureaus deserve to be known as the most famous escort agencies in the north and south. They are extremely well-trained. In less than a cup of tea, the members of the Escort Agency, headed by Zeng Wanqi and Zeng Wanjiu, have already assembled and are ready. Although everyone has serious expressions, there is no sign of timidity at all.

Yun Feng secretly admired him and panicked him.

Qi Ye first ordered the messenger team to disperse in all directions, break out to nearby towns to find support before the wild beasts surrounded them, and sent out a signal for help. The others formed three defensive circles with the heavy armored escort vehicle as the center.

The first layer of the outer defense circle is composed of archers, those who are good at concealed weapons and some strong men with javelins in their hands, relying on traps for the first round of long-range defense. After the monsters approach, they retreat to the second layer of defense circle.

The second layer of defense circle is composed of shield soldiers and highly skilled bodyguards. It is the core force of the defense. It is led by Zeng Wanjiu and relies on hard defense equipment such as spiked fences to fight against wild beasts in close combat. The third layer of defense circle is

It is composed of swordsmen and archers withdrawn from the first layer of defense circle. They assist the second circle in attacking in a timely manner, replenish the defense gaps at any time, and are responsible for responding to and replacing the injured.

Inside the third layer of defense circle are two carriages, an ordinary escort carriage is used as an emergency evacuation and treatment place for seriously injured people, and a heavy-armored escort carriage is used for breakout at critical moments.

Zeng Wanqi believed that although Yunfeng and the two had some skills, they had never seen any bloody scenes. Fearing that they would be injured by wild beasts in the panic, they arranged the two of them in a heavy-armored escort car inside the third layer of defense circle.

Surrounded by enemies, the two of them would have the greatest chance of escaping.

After everything was arranged, Master Qi smiled apologetically at Yunfeng and the two of them: "It was a moment of good intention, but I didn't expect that it would implicate the two of them. I don't know if I can escape the wave of wild beasts tonight. I will definitely do my best to protect you."

You two are considerate, please rest assured."

Master Zeng Jiu also clasped his fists and said to them: "Don't worry little baby, as long as I, Master Jiu, are here, a few wild beasts are nothing. Let me kill them and skin them to make coats for Sister Ling'er to wear." After that, he said

He burst out laughing, and everyone laughed too, and the solemn atmosphere seemed to be diluted a lot for a while.

Yunfeng knew that ordinary wild beasts did not pose a threat to him at all, so he would obey their arrangements for the time being. If everyone was really in danger of their lives, they would try their best to save them without revealing their identities.

After everyone set up a defensive formation, the sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sounded, and three bright signal bombs rose into the sky, forming the shape of three swords. This was the most critical signal for help in the world, and the chivalry within a hundred miles radius

After receiving the signal, the police will rush to the rescue as soon as possible.

As soon as the signal took off, everyone felt the ground begin to shake, as if countless monsters were running towards them. All kinds of sharp, terrifying roars came and went, which seemed particularly scary in the middle of the night.

Because Zeng Wanqi proactively stationed the camp near the water to prevent being attacked from the front and back, the defensive forces only need to be arranged in the front and on both wings. This can save manpower to the greatest extent, maintain the best combat power as much as possible, and reduce

casualties.

Everyone was waiting with bated breath for the arrival of the beast. In a moment, the surrounding forest was filled with faint green light, and the beast had completely surrounded them. By the light of the fire, everyone discovered that this group of beasts was mainly composed of firefoxes and gray wolves.

.I don’t know what kind of mutation has occurred, but the size is more than twice as big as the ordinary fire fox and gray wolf. Their sharp teeth are mixed with the smell of blood, and their eyes are full of cruelty and violence.

After hearing a sharp fox howl, the wild beasts attacked them frantically like a tide. Zeng Wanjiu immediately issued an attack order. The outermost defense circle immediately drew its bow by the light of the torch.

Shooting arrows, activating hidden weapons, a rain of arrows flew away, all kinds of hidden weapons were fired, and the escort holding a javelin fiercely threw out the heavy javelin.

Everyone was a master of martial arts, and they were all aiming at the vital points of the beasts. There were bursts of wailing, and some beasts were shot in the throat by bows and arrows, and some were hit in the eyes by hidden weapons. However, the most damaging thing was the javelin, which was often shot by one

The javelin can penetrate two or three beasts.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of beasts were killed or injured. The death of their companions made the beasts become even more violent without fear of retaliation. They rushed forward without fear with bloodthirsty madness in their eyes.

After several waves of impact, the beasts rushed about five feet in front of everyone and entered the trap area that had been set up. The beasts rushing in front fell into the trap in groups and were penetrated and stabbed to death by sharp bamboos.

The beasts behind were unable to stop due to the impact of running, and they also fell into the trap wave after wave.

In the blink of an eye, the trap has been filled with the corpses of wild beasts, and those beasts that are not completely dead are often filled with arrows. After several rounds of rapid fire, the archer's arm strength has reached its limit. At this time, less than half of the dead and wounded beasts have been killed.

The remaining beasts also jumped over the trap and began to charge towards the spiked fence where everyone was leaning.

The people in the first defensive circle quickly retreated to the innermost layer, changed their equipment, and recovered their physical strength. The shield soldiers in the second defensive circle raised their shields to form a defensive posture. The escorts holding long swords, broadswords, and spears behind the shields also did the same.

He was ready for a hand-to-hand fight with the beast. The crazy beast rushed forward in the blink of an eye. Zeng Qiye frowned at the bloodthirsty beast in front of him and gave the order to attack.

For a time, blood splattered everywhere, wails filled the land, and waves of beasts attacked one after another. Fortunately, the people from the North and South Escort Bureaus were well-trained and extremely tough, and the situation was in a stalemate for a while. Where could anyone see the people in the innermost defense circle?

When he was not strong enough, he immediately provided support and replaced the injured with bandages for treatment. Shui Ling'er and Yunfeng also helped take care of the injured.

Seeing the number of wounded gradually increasing, Yunfeng couldn't bear it and sent a message: "Junior Sister Ling'er, these bold knights treat us like family members. I really can't bear to see them being bitten to death by wild beasts and devoured. If it comes to a life-or-death situation, I will

Even if they risk exposing their identities and risking mission failure, we must help them get out of the siege.”

At this moment, Shui Ling'er no longer looked sad and weak by the lake, and regained her former arrogant and willful expression, and responded: "Life and death are determined by fate, but these men in the world are all chivalrous people, so naturally I will not watch them die, but

…”

Speaking of this, Shui Ling'er suddenly took action and stuck a piece of talisman on Yunfeng's chest. Yunfeng felt that his breathing was stagnant, and the spiritual power of his body suddenly stopped operating uncontrollably.

After a few breaths, not even a trace of spiritual power could be mobilized. Yunfeng asked in horror: "Junior Sister Ling'er, what do you mean?"

Shui Ling'er didn't look at him, but looked in the direction of the Huanjian Sect and said firmly: "Senior brother, don't blame me. This place is not under the jurisdiction of the Huanjian Sect. Before arriving at Fire Fox Town, once the identity of the Taoist cultivator of the Huanjian Sect is exposed, it will inevitably

Attracting the attention of the other four major sects. When the five major sects of Qifeng Kingdom gather together, a little carelessness will cause great trouble to the sects. What's more, there are rumors that a strange treasure has appeared in the world, and we think about it with our low cultivation level.

It is almost impossible to complete the task, please put the sect first, Senior Brother Yun."

After saying this, Shui Ling'er's eyes darkened, and she muttered silently in her heart: I don't want you to make a big mistake because of your kind thoughts and be severely punished by the sect. I know you will hate me, but for the sake of the path of seeking immortality in your heart, I

Have to do this.

At this time, Yunfeng was extremely angry. All his spiritual power was sealed, and he was no different from ordinary people. Fortunately, he still had the divine movement and assassination techniques improved by his senior brother Leng Yu. These two physical techniques were combined in

At the same time, even without the help of spiritual power, he will not be much worse than ordinary martial arts masters.

Shui Ling'er helped bandage and take care of the wounded beside the carriage, while restraining Yunfeng from acting rashly. At this time, half an hour had passed since the battle started, and the corpses of the beasts had piled up like mountains.

The beasts that attacked later seemed to be tireless, still attacking and biting the defensive circle formed by everyone. Moreover, the attacking beasts at this time were more ferocious and cruel than at the beginning, and the pressure on everyone was increasing.

The defensive circle is being compressed smaller and smaller. The backup manpower on the third level has been fully occupied, and the injuries of those who have been removed from the defensive circle are getting more and more serious. The night is getting deeper and the wind is getting faster. The situation is getting worse and worse. Press
