Chapter 226: The Battle of the Beast Tide (2)

A moment later, several points of light appeared in the sky east of Island 1.

The point of light grew larger and larger, and soon turned into several rays of light of different colors, flying towards this place at an extremely fast speed.

"It turned out to be the monks who were in charge of finding out the specific information of the beast tide at the front, and these people actually came back together, presumably the beast tide was about to arrive. Zhao Di thought silently in his heart.

After these seven or eight rays of light arrived at the city wall, they didn't stop and flew directly to the Star Pavilion.

Prior to this, in the hall on the fourth floor of the Star Pavilion, the Master of Concentration had crushed a piercing note, and when he heard the beast tide reported in it, his face showed a heavy expression.

"The beast tide is really about to officially land on Island No. 1 in these two or three days, and this first wave of beast tide attacks is so huge. The old monk muttered, his two white eyebrows staring, and there was a look of worry in his eyes.

Within a day, all the monks and mortals on the island were notified that the beast tide would hit Island 1 for the first time in a short period of time. The mortals on the city wall naturally ate and lived on the city wall day and night, and a high-level immortal cultivator like Zhao Di was also required to stay in the city wall area for a moment, and also divided a period of care for each monk in the Yudan period.

The city wall is more than 1,000 miles long, and at this time, there are only three to five hundred monks in the whole island, and there are many people who have other tasks in their bodies, so Zhao Di and others are divided into a range of three or five miles.

With such a short distance, the monks of the Yudan period could cover every detail with their divine sense.

Zhao Di was still wearing a black gauze hat, quietly sitting on the city wall with his eyes closed, somewhere near the southern end, but his divine consciousness was released dozens of miles away.

In the distance he was in charge of, there were dozens of catapults and giant crossbows, and more than 10,000 mortals were waiting densely on the side.

Except for seven or eight Qi Refining Stage disciples, a middle-aged monk in the early stage of foundation building, and Zhao Di himself, there were no other monks, and these few people were only commanding mortals or dealing with some accidents.

Because the monks can fly with weapons and are very mobile, most of the monks are organized into teams, and they are not fixed in a certain place, but are sent to where the situation is more tight.

At night, the city wall was sprinkled with a faint moonlight, and the refreshing night breeze was blowing slowly, and most of the mortals had already fallen asleep on the city wall with a thin quilt on their faces. Occasionally, some people are nervous or excited because the big war is imminent, and they can't sleep, so they get together in twos and threes, talking quietly.

Because of Zhao Di's special identity, there were no mortals close to him within a hundred zhang beside him.

Immortal masters like to be quiet and alone, like this, these mortals who were born on Island No. 1 since they were children and are used to seeing immortal masters flying around also know more or less.

"Stupid, you little fool, you're only sixteen years old, what are you doing here, how good it is to stay at home with your little daughter-in-law"

"That's right, your daughter-in-law has only been through the door for a few months, and you left her to run to this city wall and sell your strength for half a year, and you are not afraid of your daughter-in-law's resentment haha"

"Although I am a few years younger than you, but my strength is not smaller than yours, this kind of big scene has not been once in thousands of years, if I miss it, I will regret it for the rest of my life You look at Uncle Hong, and I haven't come here the same way in my sixties."

"Hehe, decades ago, when I was younger than Ah Ben, my grandfather was also here to repair the city wall, I always pestered him to ask, why do you want to repair this city wall, grandpa always said, the immortal master let me repair, then repair, there will always be a time when it will be useful, but my grandfather has repaired the city wall all his life, and he didn't wait for that time. Now that this day is about to come, I want to see with my own eyes that we mortals, who have spent countless manpower and painstaking efforts to build this huge city wall, and one day after the day when I see my grandfather under the Nine Springs, I can comfort him a few words. ”

"Uncle Hong said it so well, I also mean this, we mortals are not like immortal masters, our lives are only a short period of decades, how can we miss this kind of moment"

"Speaking of Immortal Master, why are there only so few Immortal Master coming here to guard the island, but I heard an Immortal Master say that the number of Immortal Masters in our Star Sea is very large."

"Hmph, people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy the mortals on our island, the island is in the people, the island is dead, although we have to work hard, even so, there are still many people who pretend to be sick and refuse to come here to help. And for the Immortal Master, the life and death of this island will not have much impact on them, they can pat their butts and leave at any time, and now there are so many Immortal Masters here to lead us to defend the island together, it is already a great blessing."

"It makes sense, the three brothers next door to my house all find all kinds of excuses and refuse to come to the city wall to guard the island, hum, I usually know that they have bad character"

"It's not a matter of character, it's just people's attitude and way of dealing with the world, and you can't blame others. ”

"Uncle Hong is really tolerant, I don't think so......"

The small talk of these people, although they are afraid of disturbing others' sleep, is soft-spoken, but for Zhao Di, it is naturally like in his ears, and he can hear every word clearly.

He chuckled noncommittally, and tried to run his consciousness to the extreme, to see how far he could reach.

Fifty miles, sixty miles, eighty miles

Within a range of sixty or seventy miles, he could monitor it relatively clearly, but beyond eighty miles, he could only barely have a vague sense.

For this result, Zhao Di was very satisfied, you must know that the average monk in the late stage of Jiedan can only detect thirty or forty miles at most.

If he wore that magical mask, Zhao Di would be able to magnify his divine sense to an even more amazing extent in a short period of time.

Suddenly, Zhao Di rose into the air, floating above the city wall, and looked at the sea in the distance.

Under the pale moonlight, the sea is dark and dark.

His divine sense detected that in the sea area dozens of miles away, a large number of demon beasts were appearing, and the number of them and the violence of their breath were very terrifying.

"Get up, the first wave of demon beasts will arrive in half an hour" Zhao Di's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone in the vicinity.

Suddenly there was a boil, and mortals and monks got up one after another, looking up at Zhao Di who was high above.

After a while, there were stewards of the Outer Sea Merchant Alliance one after another, using spiritual power to transmit a sound like a bell, waking everyone up, reminding that the beast tide was coming.

"Tut~" A long horn sounded, resounding for thousands of miles, indicating that the demon beast was very close, and everyone must strictly guard their respective posts.

These mortals had already practiced similar situations, and they were busy in a lively and chaotic manner, preparing the catapults and giant crossbows, and then standing quietly at their respective posts.

On the city wall, in a moment, countless torches were lit and countless moonstones were lit, illuminating the city wall as if it were day.

The inspiring sound of bells and drums spread throughout the city walls. Everyone is solemn and ready to go, but everyone's mood is different. Some are nervous, some are excited, some are worried, some are afraid, some are serious, and some are laughing lightly.

"Hmm, this drum and trumpet sound can be transmitted so far, it seems that it is not an ordinary thing, it should be a magic weapon specially refined by the Outer Sea Business Alliance for this purpose. Zhao Di looked at the people with different expressions at his feet, and thought of it, and at the same time, his divine sense was also carefully probing into the distance.

Somewhere in the middle of the city wall, a dozen or so monks of the Yudan period, such as the Master of Concentration and the Dustless Old Dao, were also doing the same thing.

"This sea of demon beasts is so wide, I'm afraid that there are no less than 100,000 demon beasts in it, fortunately, they are all low-level demon beasts of the first and second grades, and it is very rare to have more than three poles. Dingjue said to the dustless old man beside him.

"One hundred thousand is nothing, this should just be the cannon fodder of the beast tide striker, these low-level demon beasts, let the mortals solve it, we still have to save our strength, and the tough battle is still behind" Wuchen's eyes shrank and looked towards the sea in the distance.

"Yes, that's what I mean. My thousand-strong phalanx and those foundation-building monks under your command will first stand still and wait and see what happens. Dingjue nodded and said.

"But there are as many as 100,000 cannon fodder, and when the beast tide comes, how many will there be" The Blue Old Man of the Heavenly Demon Sect couldn't help but sigh.

These words hit the minds of several people, and everyone was silent for a while.

In Zhao Di, somewhere above the southern end of the city wall, through the faint moonlight, he saw a group of demon beasts sweeping not far away.

It is no longer appropriate to say that the demon beast group is so wide that it is more accurate to call it the demon beast sea.

"Come, come up," shouted many of the monks.

Some of the demon beasts at the front had already climbed to Island No. 1 and were rushing towards the position of the city wall.

Sea lion demons with long bodies appeared one after another, golden toad monsters that leaped several feet away, as well as various huge crabs, shrimp monsters, and all kinds of strange fish demons and sea python demons, all of which are the most common low-level krakens in the Star Sea.

These demon beasts with very low intelligence rushed towards the city wall more than 1,000 zhang high, as if they were invisibly driven and manipulated by something.

From the sea to the city wall, it is only a short distance of more than 20 miles, and in a few moments, a huge number of demon beasts have been enriched under the city wall, and they are constantly increasing.

Hundreds of pounds of boulders were already placed on the catapults, and the crossbows were fastened with iron arrows three or four feet long, and the bowstrings were tightened.

The monk in charge of the "launch" gave the order, and the mortals on the city wall began to attack.

Ten mortals pressed the giant tree at the same time, pulling the trigger on the giant crossbow, and the tight bowstring immediately shot out the catapult iron arrow, which broke through the air in an arc.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of people used force at the same time to pull the bowstring full again, pull the trigger shut, and three people carried an iron arrow and placed it on the giant crossbow.

Hundreds of mortals pulled a long rope together and ran wildly along the city wall for dozens of feet. The long rope drove a giant log on the catapult to rotate, and threw the stone placed at one end into the air dozens of feet high. The stones went over the walls and downward.

Then the giant tree slowly fell under the control of these men, and soon seven or eight strong men lassoed the stones with sticks and ropes and attached them to the catapults.

Such scenes are constantly played out throughout the city walls.

On the entire city wall, there were no less than 10,000 catapults and giant crossbows, and there were no less than a million mortals who manipulated these great killing weapons.

Iron arrows and stones fell like raindrops from the city wall more than 1,000 zhang high in an arc, with an amazing whistling wind, and the momentum was very amazing

With a "poof", an iron arrow easily pierced the body of a running sea lion demon and nailed it to the ground.

With a loud "boom", a stone with the amazing momentum of falling from a high altitude happened to smash on the hard shell of a crab monster, and it actually smashed this demon into a pulp, and this stone was also broken into countless small pieces and splashed out in all directions, injuring several nearby demon beasts.

Although the skin of the demon beast is rough and thick, after the stones and iron arrows fall from a height of more than a thousand zhang, they are extremely fast and powerful, and as long as they are hit by the vital point, they will definitely die.

Although most of the attacks missed, after this wave of volleys, there were no less than a thousand dead and injured demon beasts.

The middle-aged monk in the foundation building period who "launched" the flag of the order in his hand gave the order again.

Iron arrows and stones rained down again.

A golden toad monster several feet in size was leaping towards the city wall, and a three-foot-square stone fell on the hard ground in front of it, smashing into a huge crater of extreme depth, and splattering countless rubble.

The speed of these rubbles was extremely fast, and there was no way to avoid it, and the toad monster was immediately injured, and even its fist-sized left eye was hit, and blood flowed profusely.

The toad monster opened its huge jaw and let out a scream like a cow's moo, but it still jumped towards the city wall without stopping.

Under the city wall, monsters of various forms are frantically impacting and destroying the city wall with sharp teeth, giant tails, limbs, and bodies.

The outside of this city wall is engraved with many defensive spells, and it is the most powerful and sturdy place, even if these low-level demon beasts are attacked without regard for their own lives, the damage is very small.

"Push the stone" Zhao Di shouted the order to the foundation building monk, who immediately waved the order flag in his hand and passed the order to the mortals.

On the edge of the city wall, countless mortals were working together to push down stones several feet in size from the low half-human height wall.

Countless stones fell, and the demon beasts at the foot of the city wall were suddenly killed and injured, and all kinds of wails and howls were endless.

Pieces of demon beasts poured onto Island No. 1, bursts of iron arrows and stone rain fell, screams and roars came out, and a body was injured and fell, and a thousand miles under the moonlight under the wall of Island No. 1 suddenly became a bloody and crazy killing field.

"Amitabha, Senior Brother Dingjue, I waited for the monks to be merciful and passed through the world, and I never imagined that such a great slaughter would be brewed today" A young monk with an ordinary appearance floated in the air, and when he saw the situation under him, he sighed a little unbearably.

"Buddhism is also a cloud to kill demons, exorcise demons and exorcise evil spirits, if it is to save people, then why stick to the form, not to mention that we want to rescue, not only these hundreds of millions of mortals"
