It is a small and inconspicuous city with only tens of thousands of people in the city. The city walls are low and the defenses are sparse.
On the horizon in the distance, a group of dark clouds was like a black ocean wave, surging in, rolling up smoke and dust all over the sky with great force.
Looking closely, the black waves are actually full of attacking monsters.
Large and small, there are iron-backed mantises and one-horned fire bulls in the foundation-building realm, desert sand wolves in the crystallization realm, bloodthirsty tailed crocodiles, golden-eyed demon bats and rock lions in the golden elixir realm, and even those in the spirit realm.
The human-faced demon spider, the blue flame demon bear, etc.
Just by taking a casual look, there are hundreds of monsters, it’s like entering a monster zoo.
These monster beasts that were supposed to live in the wild or in the forest are now collectively invading human settlements.
The civilians who were still working in the fields and hunting outside the city were frightened when they saw this scene. They dropped their tools and ran towards the city as hard as they could.
But their speed is no match for the monster beasts.
Before they had run far, a large number of birds and monsters flew through the sky, easily tearing them into pieces and devouring them, causing rivers of blood to flow out of them.
When the people in the century-old city discovered that the beasts were coming, they ran around in panic, trembling and hiding in their homes, praying that their city lord could lead them through this disaster.
At this time, in the City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Zhou Jingtao and all his subordinates were sweating profusely.
Don't get me wrong, they are sweating not from fighting with monsters, but from... temporarily carrying luggage and dragging their families with them.
"City Lord, let's run away quickly. I've seen the beast tide outside. It's at least a golden elixir-level beast tide, and it's probably even a spirit-level beast. Our guards are simply not enough. This earthen city wall will definitely fall if we just charge it."
.”
Zhou Jingtao looked intolerable and felt guilty in his heart, but when he thought of the beast tide outside, this trace of kindness was thrown out of the window.
"You're right. Have you packed everything? Then let's run away. By the way, do you have the pretty widow from Nan Lane that I just fell in love with a few days ago?"
The subordinate said anxiously: "City Lord, how long has it been and you are still obsessed with a widow? Your hobby is really a bit... perverted."
Zhou Jingtao glared and said: "What do you know? This is called Jian'an style and Wei Wu style! I am concerned about how people live without their husbands. Stop talking nonsense and go take that pretty widow with you!"
"Hey, I'm going to go now!"
The subordinate had no choice but to immediately set out to find a widow for his boss.
Zhou Jingtao has already begun to look forward to the scene where he rescued the pretty widow, and the other party would be grateful and then work hard to 'repay' him.
However, not long after waiting, a figure flew over the city lord's palace. Everyone looked up and saw a beautiful woman wearing a robe.
The woman has a pink face, peach cheeks, a high nose, bright eyes and white teeth, and is extremely beautiful.
Her figure is even more graceful, and even the loose robes cannot hide her perfect figure.
In particular, there is a small beauty mark on her snow-white neck, which makes her even more agile and lively.
When Zhou Jingtao saw this person, he was not so shocked that his eyes glowed green, but his face turned pale with fright.
The woman stayed above the city lord's mansion, looked down, lightly opened the door, and asked: "Where is the century-old city lord?"
Zhou Jingtao quickly stood up and said: "Love your mother! I am!"
The woman then asked: "The tide of beasts is coming. As the city lord, why don't you quickly gather your team to defend the city? Do you know that if the beasts enter the city, all the people in the city will be killed by the beasts?"
At this time, the subordinate inappropriately ran in with a busty young woman. The young woman ran in a choppy manner, and a pair of giant weapons seemed to be able to smash people to death.
"City Lord, I have brought the beautiful widow you wanted. I was told that if you are willing to take her to escape, she will be yours from now on." The subordinate said straightforwardly.
Zhou Jingtao stared at him with eyes that could kill people.
"Fart! What did you say? When did this city lord say he was going to run away? Do you think you gave me your wife just to shake my determination to love my people like my own children!"
Zhou Jingtao's words are sonorous and have a sound when they fall to the ground.
The subordinates had black question marks on their faces.
"City Lord, this is not my wife, this is the pretty widow from the south alley you want."
"Bah! That's nonsense! I tell you, this city lord will not leave the century-old city, and will inevitably live and die with the people! Now, immediately summon all the garrison forces, temporarily recruit all men, and go up the city wall together to resist the beast tide! I
The city lord takes the lead!"
After saying that, Zhou Jingtao took out a long sword, soared into the air, and flew towards the outside of the city without hesitation, leaving his subordinates and Mrs. Boba stunned.
Zhou Jingtao flew to the edge of the city and looked out, looking at the black 'wave' of yellow sand in the sky. The hand holding the knife couldn't help but tremble.
Was it his conscience that discovered it? Wrong! It was actually the woman behind him who had a huge background.
That was the most valued and promising disciple of the Yuanji Dharma Sect, Mu Lingbing, a little city lord who couldn't afford to offend him.
If Mu Lingbing reported him to the court, he would definitely die even if he fled to the ends of the earth.
Yuanji Dharma Sect is originally located in Yongning Prefecture, and should not appear in Muxian Prefecture.
In fact, it was because Mu Lingbing was born in Centennial City. He showed great talent when he was young. He was noticed by the passing elders of the Yuanji Fa Sect and was taken to Yongning Prefecture. Later, he became the head of the family.
Because of the Winter Festival, the Yuanji Dharma Sect also had a holiday. Mu Lingbing returned to his hometown to visit relatives, but unexpectedly encountered a wave of beasts attacking the city.
Knowing that her hometown was about to be in trouble, she did not choose to go back, but stayed to protect her hometown.
"Senior Mu... You see that the beast tide cannot be resisted by such a small amount of strength. You are the pride of your hometown. Why don't you run away and I will stay to guard the city!"
Zhou Jingtao Yi Bo Yuntian said, in fact, he just wanted to leave immediately after Mu Lingbing left.
Mu Lingbing saw through his trick at a glance and snorted coldly: "You don't have to worry about me, I will give my best to the century-old city. As the city lord, you should do the same. If it really can't be done, it's not too late to leave. If
You want to run away without even using your strength, so don’t blame me for reporting you!"
Zhou Jingtao was so excited that he could only give up the idea of running away and began to seriously instruct the guards to defend the city.
In addition to Mu Lingbing, there are also many monks staying in the Centennial City.
Only a handful are willing to stay.
Most chose to abandon the city and flee.
Mu Lingbing wanted to ask them to stay and help, but she also knew that it would be useless and there was no need for others to listen to her.
"City Lord Zhou, don't worry. As long as we hold on for a while, the nearby sects will definitely come to support us when they get the news. By the way, which sect is the closest here?"
Zhou Jingtao quickly replied: "It's the Tianyan Sword Sect."
Mu Lingbing smiled slightly and said: "Then there is no need to worry. Tianyan Sword Sect is a well-known and upright sect and will not ignore death. You can just defend the city with peace of mind."
When Zhou Jingtao thought about it, he felt much more relaxed.
