Cao An tried to dissuade Shen Shen from making such a sacrifice, but he didn't know what to say.
The education he had experienced from childhood to adulthood all told him that Arrow Slave's life was to never see the light of day, only to die for today. This could not be resolved by Cao An in just one or two words.
Just when Cao An was worried, the gong sounded again.
Zhan Sheng stood up from the giant crossbow and picked up two wooden spears. "Brother Cao, we are fighting at close range. Please stay with me."
After saying this, he jumped out of the arrow tower, and Cao An followed him as he was told. However, within a short period of time, some monsters had already rushed to the high wall.
Under the cold moonlight, Cao An saw the most shocking scene in his two lives. The monster, fearless of death, rushed to the foot of the high wall, and died with the inertia of the impact, hitting its head against the huge stone of the city wall.
This obviously has no effect. One head is useless, but what about hundreds or thousands? The high wall remains motionless. But the beasts did not stop after the surge, and they rushed forward one after another, abandoning the large-scale impact, but concentrated in a corner. In an instant, a slope was built under the corner of the wall by the corpses of monsters.
They stepped on the corpses of the same kind and went back and forth without hesitation or fear. The five-foot high wall was flattened in just a moment. The monsters rushed up the high wall and pounced on their enemies.
'resident Evil!'
What you see in movies and TV shows is completely different from seeing it with your own eyes, the kind of shock that comes from your soul.
Similar situations continued to take place in other corners of the high wall. There was a melee, and the generals rushed up with two heavy guns in their hands. They picked up the spears with both hands and stabbed or stabbed several monsters.
Cao An swung his spear and followed Shen Zhong to replenish his wounds, using the spear as a stick. It had only been a day or two since he started practicing again. It was impossible to have much combat power.
He has a strong 13 count, but Dian Wei can't show it yet. Good steel must be used on the blade. This kind of high-intensity battle will definitely not last long. By then, he will really have no trump card.
The fight became fierce. The civilians who were hastily gathered were no match for these beasts. They were scattered on the long high wall front. Except for the escorts, they almost all resisted independently and soon became the prey of the monsters.
Amidst the screams, Song Yinglong stepped forward with a knife and stopped the large group of monsters.
"Everyone retreats, abandons the high wall, and moves towards the center of the town."
Tieniu struck the gong, and the already scattered resistance became even more chaotic amidst the sound of retreating gongs. In the blink of an eye, dozens more people died in the monster's mouth.
Heaviness is really dangerous. It is not an exaggeration to say that he can live or die a tiger or a leopard. Under the protection of Shen Zhong, a powerful bulldozer, Cao An evacuated to the designated location without any danger. His body was covered with large and small scars. Even his hair was stuck into pieces with blood.
Everyone in the town, young and old, evacuated to the central area. The small area was just enough for everyone to form a certain scale of resistance, so they no longer had to fight alone.
Build a human wall and face the beast tide.
"Get out of the way, trash!" Cao An was squeezed and almost fell out of the wall. No matter how good-tempered he was, he suddenly felt angry. Such behavior on the battlefield was tantamount to killing his teammates. Looking sideways, I saw it was not Li Yuxiu or someone else.
Li Yuxiu ignored his gaze, feeling disdainful in her heart and even more angry. There were so many people and she couldn't even deal with a few monsters. They were almost retreating to her door. She was not the kind of person who had no combat experience at all. Zong During the sect trial, I also killed many monsters.
With human intelligence, how can such beasts with undeveloped intelligence still lose against them? Can they, trash like them, only show off their power in front of domesticated and docile livestock?
So, when I came to the crowd, I squeezed through the crowd from the back. Unexpectedly, I saw Cao An in the front row here. Thinking of Cao An's attitude towards me before, I felt even more angry. I didn't have a good tone, so I just shoulder-bumped him away.
Got Cao An.
At this moment, a green wolf lunged at Cao An, and when he saw that its stinking mouth was about to bite Cao An, a spear pierced out and protected him. Cao An felt certain and returned to the wall without looking at that person.
Li Yuxiu, the original terracotta warrior.
When Li Yuxiu came to the first row, she was stunned. What she saw in front of her was not the three or two monsters she faced during the trial, but a black and almost headless tide of monsters. The street was filled with fishy wind. At the critical moment, Li Yuxiu pressed the button.
In the sect's swordsmanship, thrusting out with a sword is almost a subconscious action.
But she didn't know that this kind of swordsmanship might be useful in certain situations. Among the beasts, the most simple slashing and sweeping skills could really make a difference.
A sword penetrated the wolf's head, and the powerful force almost knocked the sword out of her hand. The sword body was stuck between the green wolf's flesh and blood. Before she could withdraw the sword, the second and third green wolves were already killed.
come over.
Intense fear enveloped her, so much so that her mind went blank and she froze on the spot, forgetting to fight back.
It was too late, but it was too late. He shot twice in succession, flying away the green wolf, and rescued Li Yuxiu from the wolf's mouth.
She didn't even come back to her senses even after a few breaths. Her gorgeous skirt was instantly wet and she became incontinent on the spot.
The heavy and tall figure was like a large shield made of fine steel, waving the two spears in his hands, preventing the monsters from breaking through, and firmly protecting Cao An and Li Yuxiu.
Cao An, on the other hand, stared straight ahead, his brain running at high speed, and he shot like a poisonous snake, looking for the opportunity with his spear, often delivering a fatal blow to the monster from an incredible angle, but this situation did not last long.
roar!!
After a loud roar, there was another sudden change, and black shadows fell on the roof. Yuexia jumped up and hit this side, followed by countless stones, wooden sticks, and anything else that could be thrown.
Objects may be thrown head-on.
With a heavy face and an ugly expression, he said, "Brother Cao, it's a demon ape!"
Cao An saw it, and before he finished speaking, several strong men in the defense line were directly struck by the demon ape with his hand, blood spattered, and most of their heads disappeared in the moment of contact.
Cao An was stunned, 'Half of his head was scratched off? What kind of power is that?'
boom!!
A man was seized by the demon ape during the impact, and was thrown out of the human wall into the group of monsters behind. The two demon apes screamed excitedly, jumped up together, grabbed the two ends of the man, and flew in the air.
It was torn directly into two pieces.
"Brother Iron Bull!!"
'Is it Tieniu? The captain of the escort team from Ting Tac Alley?'
Cao An realized that if he didn't sacrifice the puppet at this time, he would really have no chance. No matter what the final result was, at least sacrificing it would ensure that he would survive the next moment. Hundreds of demon apes came screaming, and every time he sacrificed the puppet, he would be able to survive.
The strength of one of them is definitely not comparable to that of the green wolf just now. In this case, Shen Sheng's big shield is a bit weak.
"Dianwei!"
"My lord, the general is here!"
The sound was like a loud bell, and the people were like hills, falling to the ground, raising smoke and dust all over the sky. Dian Wei, wearing armor and holding a pair of halberds, stood in front of Cao An. His figure was a head taller than Cao An, who was 1.8 meters tall.
.
He waved his two halberds, smashing two demonic apes in the air. A pair of tiger eyes stared straight ahead, and his body leaned forward slightly to protect Cao An behind him.
"Fat man, come here."
Taking advantage of the situation, he pulled Li Yuxiu over, who was either frightened or crazy. The three people and a puppet were tightly gathered together. Looking behind him, under the attack of the demon ape, there was no formal defense.
That beast could smash a big living person to pieces with just a tap of his hand.
The human wall was directly broken, and they began to flee in all directions.
There is only a five-man team that is still resisting, but now they are surrounded by three demon apes, and it is only a matter of time before they die.
"Brother Cao, those are General Song and his soldiers. Can you save them?"
Before Cao An could speak, God had already made a choice for him. A beam was shot out from nowhere and hit General Song Zhen on his chest. The force of the castration remained unabated and it hit the wall at the other end.
, the dent in the chest was visible to the naked eye, and it was obvious that he would not survive.
Cao An's mind trembled and he slapped Li Yuxiu with his backhand.
"Wake up!"
Half of Li Yuxiu's cheeks were swollen. The pain made her wake up a little, and she looked at Cao An tremblingly.
"Didn't I give you a puppet? Take it out and use it!"
"How, how to use it?"
"Have you recognized your master?"
"Admit it! Admit it!!"
"Call him by name!"
Li Yuxiu was confused, "He, what's his name?"
"Song Que!"
"Song Que!!" The first one was told to her by Cao An, and the second one was shouted by her. Purple smoke surged, and a man whose stature was not inferior to that of Dian Wei appeared in front of them, raising his hand and slashing.
The moonlight was like water, and the sword light was also like water. It poured out from Song Que's hand, and several demon apes were directly chopped into pieces when the sword energy reached it.
Looking at this scene, Cao An couldn't help but feel reassured. He was indeed a higher-level puppet. Heavenly Sword Song Que lived up to his reputation. In fact, if the materials and time were enough, the complete Song Que should be able to reach the level of a sixth-level puppet.
Unfortunately, the materials were limited, and Cao An was not strong enough when making it, so Song Que could barely reach the fifth level.
Li Yuxiu, who had originally had a dead look in his eyes, looked at Song Que's amorous blow with the sword, as if he had been injected with a booster, his face was glowing, his cheeks were red, and he gradually looked ferocious.
He yelled crazily: "Song Que, kill me, kill all these beasts and chop them into pieces."
Cao An slapped him in the face. After using Dian Wei, Cao An did not dare to command Dian Wei to rush and kill. Instead, he consciously let Dian Wei lead everyone away towards the alley. If he could not take action, he would not take action.
If the monster hadn't rushed forward without knowing whether to live or die, Dian Wei would never have taken action.
It's not that Cao An refuses to save him, but he knows that Dian Wei's energy can't sustain a few attacks at all. This kind of beast tide will last for who knows how long. If you mess up, you can only wait for death. Conserving your strength and staying alive is the best option.
important.
However, he had forgotten that the owner of Song Que's puppet at this moment was not himself, but Li Yuxiu. Before his slap hit Li Yuxiu's face, he was slapped away by Song Que. If he hadn't felt the closeness from Cao An, he would have just been
That slap was not a slap away, but a slash.
Li Yuxiu obviously realized this.
Dian Wei also turned around, his eyes fixed on Song Que. Cao An deliberately suppressed him, so there was no internal friction.
"You fight! Why don't you fight?"
Cao An sighed, knowing that at this moment, there was no point in getting angry with her, so he would coax her first and wait until the crisis in front of her was over.
"Don't give random orders. The energy of each puppet is limited, especially the one in your hand. His strength is destined to consume much more energy every time he takes action. If possible, try not to take action and conserve your strength.
, the most important thing right now is to survive.”
"Miss Li, Brother Cao is right."
"Why should I listen to you? Now he is my puppet. I can use him however I want."
Cao An took a deep breath and calmed down, "It's your fault, but we are grasshoppers on the same line now. Only by cooperation can we survive."
"Okay, I agree to cooperate. As a condition of cooperation, you must go to the center with me now."
"What are you going back to the center for? All the monsters are going that way. Going back now is no different than seeking death."
Li Yuxiu's face was firm, "In the center of the town, there are my parents and family. Don't forget that you can survive because my Li family has raised you for several years. Otherwise, you, seven or eight years old, would not have known about it.
Where did he die?"
Just this sentence stopped Cao An's mouth. No matter what he did, he could not stop others from saving his parents and relatives. If it were his own parents, he would do the same.
Cao An turned to look at Shen Sheng, "Little Fatty, there are very few monsters outside now. You can choose to leave or find a place to hide until the monster tide ends."
Shaking his head heavily, "I'm going with Brother Cao."
Looking at the heavy eyes, Cao An said nothing, but his heart completely calmed down.
'The grace of saving life and the grace of taking in one's life will be cleared up tonight!'
"Follow me!"
As soon as Cao An finished speaking, he took the first step. Dian Wei protected his side and followed the alley to avoid the large-scale monsters and move forward quickly.
Scattered monsters could not pose a threat to this group at all. In order to preserve his strength, Cao An did not even let Dian Wei take action. He could quickly deal with it simply by being heavy. A quarter of an hour later, he turned around the alleyway and saw the light of the Li family's house reflected in the sky.
