Chapter 831: Beast Tide I.
The long caravan rushed along the desert, and even violated the rules of day and night in the desert.
Sweat trickled and trickled from the foreheads of everyone in the caravan, along the cheeks, and from the chins.
"Hurry up! We must enter the realm of Ruya before sunset! ”
The leader of the caravan shouted.
The sound shook and spread throughout the caravan.
Suddenly, the speed of the caravan was raised a notch again.
And at this rate, some people inevitably fall behind.
"Chief, someone has been left behind!"
Patrolling the caravan to the left and right, the young men who acted as guards greeted the leader.
"Keep going!"
The leader of the caravan said in a deep voice.
"But ......"
"Keep going!"
The young man on patrol tried to say something, but was directly interrupted by the leader, and the voice was raised a point so that the rest of the caravan could hear it clearly.
There was inevitably a touch of sadness on everyone's face.
However, everyone didn't say anything, just lowered their heads and quickened their pace.
Because, they are facing a tide of beasts!
A beast tide composed of thousands of strange beasts!
From the humble beginnings to the tsunami-like peak, it's only about two weeks, but those two weeks will be hellish for any Rairol.
At this time, any lord will let go of the past gaps and grudges, and always fight against the beast tide.
If, they don't want the city to be breached. If the territory is slaughtered.
And only at this time. Each city will be fully developed in the true sense.
Anyone can enter the city. Dodge the tide of beasts.
"Yes!"
The young man on patrol replied with some reluctance.
For the first time, he found that the leader he respected was so unkind.
The leader of the caravan continued to direct the caravan with a blank face.
The last beast tide was ten years ago!
The young man had no idea how terrible the beast tide was!
If you take into account one person who has been left behind, then ...... Often, the whole team has to be dragged down.
I don't know how many times this has happened in the beast tide.
Therefore, every team that dodges the beast tide knows what to do.
However, knowing how to do it doesn't necessarily mean it.
Just like those who break the law.
It's just that at this time, most of the people who avoid the beast tide to help others are in good intentions.
But such kindness. But it doesn't necessarily end well.
The young men on patrol took advantage of the gap in the patrol and came to the last position of the caravan.
Here, an old man and a child are struggling to move forward.
There are no camels, so you can only walk with your feet wrapped in cloth, and although this will not let the sand get into your shoes and the flesh, the temperature brought by the hot sand is absolutely uncomfortable.
If you go on for a long time, you will definitely let the sweat soak your feet.
Obviously, the old people and children in front of them are already on the verge of this.
"Come up, I'll take you with a camel!"
The young man said.
But. To the young man's surprise, the old man shook his head. And, stop the children who are walking with them.
"Thank you!"
The old man said sincerely, and then, pulling the child on.
"Why?"
The young man looked at the old man in bewilderment.
"You're a patrolling militia, aren't you?"
The old man didn't answer, just looked at the young man and asked.
"Yes!"
Be a little younger.
"Go and do your duty, then! We're going to try to stay alive -- and not drag anyone else down! ”
The old man's words puzzled the young man.
"You'll understand once you've experienced a beast tide!"
The old man said this, and then, no more, but led the child to chase after the caravan.
The young man froze in place.
And for the rest of the day, he continued to lend a helping hand to others.
It's just that everyone is like the old man, first thanking and then refusing.
Moreover, most of the people who fell behind the line were the same age as the old man.
"Why?"
The young man was puzzled.
The team continued to move forward, and when the sun rose to the highest point, the speed of the whole team inevitably slowed down a lot, and the scorching sunlight made even the camels known as the ships of the desert a little unbearable.
"Chief, let's take a break!"
The young man suggested to the leader of the caravan again.
"No way!"
The other party's answer was as firm as before.
"But ......"
"Keep going!"
The words were like a copy of the previous ones, which made the young man angry.
"You ......"
Rumble!
The young man wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, a roar that made the sand on the ground tremble came from behind him.
The camels let out a panicked neigh, and the people in the caravan screamed in surprise.
The young man subconsciously looked backwards.
Oh, my God!
What is that?!
The young man was stunned as he looked at the snake-like beast that was ten feet tall and the thickness of a water tank that emerged from the ground.
Because, the body of the beast in the sand was still writhing and jumping out.
Twenty feet!
Thirty feet!
When the other party's body appeared on the ground, it was fifty feet, and the thickness of the water tank was only the most slender part.
"This is a strange beast?!"
It's not that I haven't seen a strange beast, but this is the first time that a young man has seen such a big beast.
He muttered to himself, his whole body looking extremely sluggish.
Syllable!
The leader of the caravan slapped the young man in the face.
"Advance with the team!"
After the leader of the caravan said a word to his deputy, he pulled out the scimitar at his waist and joined the seven or eight men who had long been classified as the 'emergency team'. Rushed towards the massive beast.
"Everybody, hurry up! Come on! Come on! ”
The deputy leader of the caravan shouted. At the same time, he dragged the young man: "Wake up." Now is not the time for you to be stunned, organize the team that can be organized, and move forward quickly! ”
"Oh, oh!"
The young man nodded blankly.
But his eyes involuntarily looked at the battle behind him-
The leader of the camel caravan was full of battle energy, and the scimitar in his hand slashed into the body of the strange beast, but the strange beast was too huge.
So much so that such an injury does not have the slightest effect at all.
On the contrary, it aroused the ferocity of this strange beast!
It opened its mouth wide and devoured the 'food' in front of it.
The leader of the caravan turned over very lightly and avoided such a bite. And, with a scimitar, he left another scar on the opponent's body.
And the surrounding team members are also attacking such a strange beast one after another.
It's just that they don't have the fighting spirit, at most, they can only cut the skin of the alien beast.
The beasts only need to turn over, and these team members are broken bones and tendons.
In just a moment's time, only the leader of the camel team was left to entangle with the alien beasts, and the rest of the team members were all without the breath of life.
"This, this ......"
The young man stared at this scene in a daze.
"Hurry up, do you want to waste the time that your companions have earned with their lives?!"
The caravan deputy shouted.
The whole caravan carried a cloud of sand and dust, and moved forward quickly.
All that was left was the roar of the beast and the sound of the caravan leader's scimitar cutting through the air.
"This is the beast tide - the first to take the lead, to buy time for the team. Then I will meet the beast, and then I will be my successor...... Everyone is doing it at the cost of their own lives. Send as many people as you can to the city! Do you know why those people refuse your help and thank you at the same time? Because, the last time they escaped in the beast tide with the lives of others, this time they used their lives to help others! ”
The deputy of the camel team said lightly.
"So, what about the children?"
The young man asked stunned.
"When the city is defended...... No need for children! ”
After a pause, the deputy of the caravan said in as flat a tone as possible.
However, all the young people heard was a deep sadness.
Rumble!
The roar that made the sand fly in the sky reappeared.
"Follow me!"
The deputy of the caravan roared, jumped off the camel, and ran backwards, beside him, seven or eight strong men with resolute faces, and none of them were left behind.
Their parents, wives and children were in the ranks.
Giving the family a chance to escape for their lives is ...... Regrets!
Even if it's in exchange for your own life.
The young man raised his hand, trying to say something, but hung it feebly.
He could only watch as the deputy's successor drove the caravan onwards on, and watched the caravan's deputies go to his death.
Then, the third attack, the fourth attack appeared one by one.
The number of the entire team has also dropped sharply from nearly 1,000 to less than 300.
And he became the temporary leader of the team.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! ”
The young man urged mechanically and loudly, his eyes scanning around, his heart filled with trepidation and uneasiness, and he did not know what to do.
It can only be to let everyone move towards the set goal.
Rumble!
As if urging life, the roar sounded.
The young man's whole body is stiff.
The biting chill rose from the tail bone, ran through the spine, and went straight to the brain.
He was already feeling the shadow of death.
But......
He didn't ask for it, even if his heart was full of trepidation and uneasiness.
Because, he has his duty.
Just like the previous chiefs, lieutenants, and heirs.
"You're in for everyone!"
After the young man finished speaking at the other patrolman, the whole person rushed behind him.
He's the only one!
At the time of the third attack, the 'emergency team' was gone.
So, he had to fight alone.
"Come on!"
Looking at the huge alien beast behind him, the young man raised his scimitar high.
Even if he dies, he has to leave the other party with an unforgettable lesson, or rather...... Stop the other person's footsteps.
Otherwise, they would have been wiped out.
The scimitar slashed down fiercely, looking at the crushing body, the young man did not dodge or dodge, but just dragged the scimitar, wanting to leave a bigger wound on the body.
Roar!
The beast let out a roar of pain.
The crushed body became soft and weak.
"Are you alright?"
During the woman's questioning, the young man turned his head, and he saw a golden figure.
It's like an angel descending.
Those jade-colored eyes were deeply imprinted in the hearts of young people.
