607 Leave the fire and oil to burn the wall, and wrap the gold knot around the besieged city
A large ball composed of hundreds of red-haired baboons just smashed into the hole in the wall of the Pure Yang Array, and the entire big ball was smashed to pieces, and countless red-haired baboons fell from a high place like rain.
Some of them fell into the ravine, and some of them just hit the sharpened bamboo fence, and suddenly the struggling meat skewers were overwhelmed. But quite a few fell on the city walls.
The defenders in the front row all had large heavy shields and full armor. In the gap between the large shields, a spear that was more than a foot long pierced out, stabbing many baboons to death.
But there are still many baboons that have entered the crowd, scratching and biting like rabid dogs. Even with heavy helmets, their tiger teeth can be pierced with a single bite.
The defending team was full of flesh and blood, screaming incessantly, and the formation was like a dam in a frenzy, precarious. At any moment, someone broke down and retreated, turned around and tried to escape, and then was stabbed to death by the monks of Team B in the back. If the foundation monk could fly, I'm afraid there would be many people who flew away.
On the mile-long front, the roar was like thunder continuously, and clusters of red light continued to burst out in the air. The Pure Yang Array of the Great Protector Array has the ability to be repaired continuously, but in the gap between repairs, baboons continue to break through.
Countless baboon balls fell like meteor showers, and the baboon rain kept falling. At the same time, many red-haired baboons climb down the edge of the moat, and when they reach the bottom of the gorge, they swim through the rapids to the other side, and then climb up the cliff again.
There are many dark holes in the stone wall under the fence. The monks lit the oil and flowed out of the hollows, forming fiery snakes that flowed into the herds of baboons that climbed upwards. Many baboons were covered in fire, screaming and scorched, rolling down to the depths of the canyon below.
"Why are they so elaborately tactical?"
"They would blow themselves up!"
"This is definitely not a wild beast tide, there must be someone behind it!"
Almost every monk in despair was thinking in panic. Although it is said that the beast tamers in Northern Xinjiang do have the ability to tame beasts, they all control a group of demon beasts at most. Who has the power to control the entire beast tide?
Also anxious is the city lord Kapok. After a night of warm living with Dead Wood Rong, she received a terrifying message flying like snowflakes the next morning.
Ji Yan disappeared, and Lei Yan died in the alley behind Fengyue Tower, and was not found until early in the morning. The small array master named Mu Yuan also disappeared as if it had evaporated. The Tower of Thorny Sky was bizarrely breached by the tide of baboons, and all the defenders of the Tower were barely boneless.
Overnight, the baboons began to line up and purposefully attack the walls in the direction of the Thorn Tower. The defenders barely held on. Fortunately, she had already sent an urgent message to the Sleeping Evil Mountain, and the reinforcements from the Tree Clan should arrive soon.
Theoretically, even if Kapok City was breached, a Purple Mansion monk like her would not be in danger of his life. Monks above the Void Pill can fly against the wind and escape. The only people who really fell into the blood of the beast tide were those who could not fly, the foundation building monks and mortals.
But the city was her place to live. Without this Kapok City, she can only be reduced to a casual cultivation, which is far inferior to the current pampering. Although she had made enough preparations, she still didn't want to really embark on this path.
Moreover, as the lord of the city, she lost the city but saved her life, and the tree people of the Sleeping Mountain could not spare her. If she is hunted down by the Tree Clan again in the future, it will be difficult for her to blend in the demon world as a casual cultivator.
That's why she's been actively resisting, stalling for time and waiting for reinforcements from the Treants. At the same time, she is also investigating the source of the manipulation of these baboons.
Kapok City was originally built specifically to resist the beast tide, and it could have been said to be indestructible against the beast tide. But when the beast tide also developed a sense and can use tactics like a human, it is impossible to resist it for too long.
But on the other hand, if she can find out who is behind the troublemaker and solve the black hand behind it, the beast tide will return to become an ordinary beast tide, and the city will naturally be defended.
The City Defense Department received an anonymous report, which bluntly pointed out that the envoys sent by the Ghost Owl Clan, as well as Mu Chenghe, who claimed to be the son of the Demon Emperor, were the ones behind the destruction of the Thorn Sky Tower and the leading beast tide to attack Kapok City.
The anonymous report was none other than the hook that fell into Mu Chenghe's trap in Fengyue Tower, and then escaped death.
Even if no report is received, Kapok will be the first to suspect this group. Among them was a witch from the Hanchen tribe in northern Xinjiang. Everyone knows that the people of the Northern Dust Tribes are practicing the art of taming beasts. She couldn't just take this as a coincidence.
Early in the morning, the patrol troops surrounded the Zunyuan Post House. But they pounced. The ghost owl envoy in the Zunyuan Post House has disappeared. Kapok dispatched men to search the whole city, but their whereabouts were not found.
There was also the combination of three men and one woman of the foreign monks that Deadwood Rong was trying to find, which also aroused her strong suspicions. Because there is indeed a group of three men and one woman of foreign monks among the monks guarding the city, and one of them is the new formation master who guards the Heavenly Piercing Tower, named Mu Yuan, which is the pseudonym used by Gou Xuan.
After the Thorn Tower was breached, this person also disappeared inexplicably. Not only was he missing, but his three companions, the three monks who had been on duty on the city walls, were also missing. She continued to track down and found that these people had entered the city in the Cang Straw tribe and were from the Eastern Demon Realm.
Could it be that they had actually disguised themselves as Crane Clansmen? Kapok suddenly remembered that on the Silver Dragon Mountain Range, in the Pig and Sheep Gorge, several Crane Clan monks had killed her four Elders of the Crane Clan. Now that the Sky Piercing Tower has fallen and the city has been stormed, could it be that these people came to calculate the city in the first place?
After these crane cultivators killed her people, they openly blended into the city again, and also applied to become the formation master of the Thorny Sky Tower under her nose, killed Lei Yan, kidnapped Ji Yan, and let the Thorny Sky Tower be captured by the beast tide, and then controlled the beast tide to attack the city?
The more Kapok thought about it, the angrier she became, and she felt that she was being teased fiercely. What's worse is that she has a gut feeling that these guys are still in her city. A cunning and insidious guy like this will never leave until he has achieved his goal.
"Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find them out!" she shouted angrily at Tong Ye, the general of the city defense, as she watched her city go into chaos.
......
Just when Kapok was frantic that she couldn't find the three men and one woman, the Gou Zhu she was looking for was swaggering down the street wearing a dirty short cloth coat, carrying a large basket on his back, wearing a huge hat covering his eyebrows and eyes, and carrying a medicine hoe on his shoulder.
In addition to the ordinary people who hunted, traded, and engaged in all kinds of miscellaneous trades, Kapok City also had farmers who specialized in cultivation and planting, just like the human world. They use the vacant land outside and in the city, and most of them grow various spiritual herbs, which are called medicine farmers.
These people are generally ordinary people, and even if they have cultivation, they are very low, and they walk on the street without attracting attention. Gou Zhu was a whim, and he "smoothed" a set of outfits directly from a medicine farmer's house, put them on his body, and walked on the street to check the situation.
There was chaos on the streets. Most of the law enforcement monks were transferred to the city walls. All the shops in the streets were either closed or had already been smashed open and looted.
Starving people without food scurried through the streets in droves, smashing open door after door, first along the streets, then by the wealthy, and finally by ordinary people. Screams and cries were everywhere.
Gou Zhu even felt that if he didn't wait for the beast tide to pour in, these people would perish with each other.
As soon as the law enforcement monks on patrol arrived, the homeless people immediately dispersed and disappeared like rats scurrying into burrows in the ground. But instead of going around chasing the displaced people, the patrol team went door to door.
This took Gou Zhu by surprise. He had thought that the monks of Kapok City were too tired to deal with the tide of beasts and should not have time to search from house to house. If they continue to investigate like this, sooner or later they will find the secret stronghold where he and Mu and the others are lurking.
He estimated the manpower of these patrols and the speed of the search, and it should not be a short time before he found out his secret residence. He pretended to have nothing to do and walked in the direction of the city wall, and then climbed up a hill in the city.
There were already a lot of medicine fields on the mountain, and he was not suspected at all when he went up dressed like this.
Looking up, the other side of the canyon was blazing red. The "fireballs" composed of countless baboons were constantly bombarding the Pure Yang Formation Wall, and from time to time they rained down on the city wall through the huge holes in the formation wall.
The monks on the city wall are full of weapons and magic weapons, and if they are not enough, they will use their lives to pile up, and the formation is precarious.
"No, if it goes on like this, there is really a possibility that the city will be broken!"
Gou Zhu originally thought that even if the Sky Thorn Tower was destroyed, the treacherous moat and strong walls would still be enough to withstand the tide of beasts. I didn't expect the beast tide to have such an attack method.
"What's that?" Just as he looked at the bloody battle wall, in the midday sun, he suddenly saw some filaments in the air, which were illuminated by the sun, emitting colorful light, as if the air was covered with cobwebs.
The reason why he couldn't see clearly was because the distance was too far away, and the thin threads were very thin. Although he has the ability to see the eye, this ability is also limited by his vision.
"Not good!"
Gou Zhu's heart was cold, and there was another thing that exceeded his expectations. An unknown enchantment array was actually set up around Kapok City, which was enough to block the flight and the spatial teleportation with the teleportation charm.
In this way, the large teleportation charm he prepared became waste paper. They're all trapped in the city!
