Chapter 39: Strange Beasts Attack the City, the Fourth Shackle Is Broken! (5k)
While Lu Yuan was concentrating on refining.
Half an hour later.
In Qingyang City.
Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded.
After countless people heard it, they all ran out of their homes without any hesitation.
Just now, a major news came that a beast tide would attack from the east soon. The officials of Qingyang City had issued a disaster warning, and all the people in the city had to leave their homes as quickly as possible and go to a relatively safe place.
The news was so sudden that the people had no time to react.
It was originally a rest point.
But now every road to the west in the city is in chaos.
Every street is crowded with people and vehicles.
The honking of cars and the crying of children came one after another. Everyone knew that a disaster was about to happen.
There was no way. Since the global mutation, the beasts have evolved into strange beasts, with a certain degree of intelligence, and their strength has been greatly enhanced. Almost every once in a while, they will rush into human cities and wreak havoc.
And such things appear in the news every day.
Now it was Qingyang City's turn.
The people were naturally all in a panic, but the more they panicked, the slower they evacuated.
"Qingyu, we can't go on like this. Time is too tight. Let alone the beast tide has not appeared yet. From what we can see now, if a stampede occurs, there will be many deaths."
On a tall building somewhere in the city, Qin Lan saw this scene and was very anxious.
Although they had contacted the city officials.
Seeking help to evacuate the people.
But after all, it was the first time to deal with the beast tide attacking the city, and no effective organization was formed, so the city became more and more chaotic.
"There is no way. We didn't prepare in advance. This is all we can do. Now we just hope that the beast tide will come later." Senior Wu shook his head, understanding that a stampede is better than suffering from the beast tide, right?
Their abilities are too limited, and their strength is not strong. They have really tried their best.
"What do the Qingyang Town officials say?"
At this time, Zhu Qingyu spoke, frowning.
They have the background of Aurora College, so the local officials have to give them face, and if necessary, they can even temporarily take over the control of a certain place.
"We have asked for help from the rescue team, but the nearest one will take five hours to arrive."
Another person spoke up and explained the situation. The area has expanded and the land has been stretched. This speed is already quite good.
But according to the current situation, it is obviously too late.
And.
Even if they come, it will only be a drop in the bucket.
After all, it is just a rescue team, not a real army with heavy weapons.
"Is that so?"
Zhu Qingyu heard this and took a deep breath. As if he had made a decision, he looked at everyone and said.
"Everyone, the people have begun to evacuate. What we need to do now is to buy time for evacuation. I am going to East City to resist the beast tide. If you don't want to go, I won't force you."
Looking at those panicked people, she really couldn't bear it, even if one person's power was limited.
But at this moment, she still chose to go directly to the place where the beast tide came.
"Qingyu, what are you talking about? Let's go together."
Qin Lan walked out and chose to go together.
"That's right, let's go together." The other people also spoke up.
The beast tide is coming. If nothing is done, hundreds of thousands of people will suffer a huge disaster.
They are also human beings. Facing this situation, they can't just sit back and do nothing, even if they have to pay the price of their lives in the end.
"Well, you are worthy of being our students of Zhendan College."
And just at this moment.
A deep voice suddenly appeared.
Everyone turned their heads and their eyes suddenly lit up.
Not far away, dozens of figures were approaching quickly.
When they got closer, they found that there were five or six middle-aged people, and the others were around ten or twenty years old, both men and women.
The middle-aged male in the lead had a very heavy breath, holding a long spear, and a majestic face.
"Teacher Zhao!"
Zhu Qingyu and others spoke immediately, showing joy on their faces.
The person who came was the teacher of Zhendan College, known as the magic spear Zhao Wuji. Before the global mutation, he was a well-known inheritor of the ancient spear method in China. After the mutation, he revived a trace of his ancestral blood and became an awakener. Later, he joined Zhendan College and became a teacher. His strength was at the seventh level of the initial realm.
As for the others, they were also teachers and students of Aurora College who were patrolling nearby.
After knowing that there was a tide of strange beasts, they rushed over as quickly as possible.
At this moment.
Zhao Wuji looked at Zhu Qingyu and others with a look of relief.
"The word Aurora is the ancient name of China in the Han and Tang Dynasties given by the West. It means that the sun rises in the east and shines on the world. It represents hope and light. Therefore, when Aurora College was first established, its purpose was to resist the crisis of the new era."
"Qingyu, you guys, face danger without retreating, have great righteousness in your heart, and are worthy of the name Aurora."
As soon as these words came out.
The teachers and students of Aurora College present took a deep breath.
Joining the college, in addition to wanting to evolve to a higher level.
Isn't it just to hope to contribute more?
"Teacher Zhao, we understand." Zhu Qingyu nodded in response,
"Okay."
Zhao Wuji said: "The most important thing now is to buy more time."
"I have reported to the college and contacted the troops stationed in Chang'an. They will come to support with hot weapons."
"Moreover, the teachers of the Chang'an College branch, as well as several vice presidents, also set off a few minutes ago!"
Are there troops to support?
Qin Lan and others were immediately excited when they heard this.
It's true that the alien beast tide is terrifying, but most of them can't withstand hot weapons. Unless they are particularly strong, otherwise there are so many alien beasts attacking the city in the country, and the awakened people in Zhendan College alone can't solve it.
More importantly, several vice presidents of Chang'an College are coming.
So now.
The only thing they need to do is to buy time.
As long as the troops come, the pressure will be reduced, and with the support behind.
This beast tide will definitely be calmed down.
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
However, just when they were excited.
The land under Qingyang City suddenly burst into a series of rumbling sounds, like muffled thunder.
And in the mountains and forests in the east, a special breath slowly emerged.
The alien beast tide is coming!
"Let's go, follow me to meet the enemy!"
At this moment.
Zhao Wuji spoke.
He gave the order, then took the lead, jumped off the roof and headed for the east side of the city.
Because there were still many people in the city who had not been evacuated, they had to buy time and reduce casualties.
Ordinary people had no resistance to strange beasts.
Only the awakened ones had the strength to fight.
Even though they were less than twenty people now.
But they still went out at this moment, following Zhao Wuji, and came to the outside of the east city, standing there waiting.
At the same time, everyone took out their weapons and displayed their abilities.
Some people grew scales.
Some people's eyes emitted psychedelic light.
Some people grew bigger and their bodies reached several meters high.
Get everything ready.
They stared quietly at the forest not far away.
However, even if they had made up their minds.
But except for a few teachers, the students were very nervous and their palms were sweating.
In the distance, in the dense forest on the east side of Qingyang City.
Heavy footsteps approached from far away, and the momentum was extremely terrifying, causing huge dust to appear in the air. Obviously, there were many strange beasts, at least hundreds.
Boom, boom, boom!
It's getting closer!
Everyone was very alert.
In the distance, shadows were looming.
One after another, creatures appeared, accompanied by terrifying roars, running forward at a very fast speed.
And Zhu Qingyu and others finally saw the appearance of those strange beasts clearly.
Monkeys covered with golden hair, wild boars like armored vehicles, white snakes as thick as buckets, and birds with wingspans of dozens of meters all exuded a dangerous aura and were bloodthirsty. Although they were of different species, they had the same goal at the moment, and their number reached hundreds and thousands.
They were basically strange beasts, embarking on the road of evolution, and they were not easy to mess with.
The only thing to be thankful for was.
These strange beasts were not very powerful, and they were basically around the first or second level of the initial realm.
Some of them had not even embarked on the road of evolution, but were just stronger than ordinary beasts.
After all.
There are no famous mountains or rivers outside Qingyang City.
Even if there are strange beasts, they are not strong.
If they are the kind from Qinling Mountains or Taihang Mountains, they can only wait for death.
However, the number is indeed a bit large.
It is ten times theirs.
Is it about to start?
Everyone swallowed their saliva, bent their bodies slightly, and prepared for the battle.
But soon.
Those strange beasts all stopped about a thousand meters away from Qingyang City, stood in place, and did not move forward.
"Teacher Zhao, what's going on?" Qin Lan said, with confusion in her eyes.
"Don't talk."
Zhao Wuji stared at the front.
The next moment, everyone only saw that in the mountains and forests, huge trees collapsed and were broken.
At the same time, a blue one-horned giant wolf walked out from it. Its body reached 30 meters high, its eyes were as big as a basin, emitting a blue light, and staring at everyone indifferently.
After it appeared, all the strange beasts took the initiative to get out of the way.
Giant Wolf King!
The beast king in that forest.
He was also the initiator of this beast tide.
"Roar!"
The giant wolf king looked at Zhao Wuji and others, and roared directly, deafening.
Below, thousands of strange beasts also bared their fangs one by one.
There was bloodthirstiness and murderous intent in their eyes.
It seemed that as long as there was an order, they would rush out immediately and tear everyone to pieces.
"Respected giant wolf king, can you listen to me?"
At this time.
Zhao Wuji walked out and spoke loudly.
Although he knew that this battle might be difficult to avoid, he still wanted to try.
If the beast tide could be temporarily retreated, it would be the best result.
Even if it didn't work.
It could also delay time a little.
And an existence like the giant wolf king could definitely understand what people meant.
"Roar~"
However, the other party didn't seem to want to waste time.
He roared directly and gave the order to attack!
Roar roar roar~
The next moment.
Hundreds of strange beasts, almost without any hesitation, rushed directly towards Qingyang City.
"No choice, kill!" Zhao Wuji also reacted immediately.
He held the spear tightly with both hands, and a strong aura burst out from his whole body in an instant.
He jumped high, appeared dozens of meters in the air, and then slammed the spear in his hand directly to the ground with the force of splitting Huashan!
Boom!
The earth shook, and cracks appeared.
Under the powerful force, the internal organs of dozens of surrounding beasts were shattered in an instant.
Zhao Wuji, the successor of ancient Chinese marksmanship, is at the seventh level of the initial realm and has revived the bloodline of his ancestors.
Under this attack, any beast of the sixth level or lower could not stop it at all.
And his spear.
It is also specially built to withstand huge forces.
From behind, other teachers from Cathay Academy also rushed out. They were not as powerful as Zhao Wuji, but they were around the fifth and sixth levels. They rushed into the group of alien beasts, and with one blow, several alien beasts were killed. The beast dies.
If all spirits are on the road of evolution, it will be difficult for them to be on the same level in terms of combat power.
Unless there are those with extremely powerful bloodlines, low-level ones will be suppressed by high-level ones.
"We are coming too, but be careful not to separate and stand around the teacher."
Zhu Qingyu spoke and led the students around him forward.
They are not powerful, and they are still at level one or two.
Therefore, we must be teacher-centered so that we can protect ourselves as much as possible.
The war has begun.
Although there are few people in Aurora College.
But it does have enough courage, plus a few strong teachers.
He actually withstood the attack of the alien beasts in a short period of time.
only.
There were simply too many and they were struggling to cope.
Especially those students, some of whom had not been on the road to evolution for a long time and had insufficient combat experience, were quickly injured, causing some alien beasts to rush straight into the city and start wreaking havoc.
All of a sudden, houses were collapsing, raising huge clouds of dust.
There was a golden monkey that pulled the power pole directly off the ground and waved it like a stick.
A three-story building was quickly razed to the ground due to its destruction.
There are other strange beasts.
The direct destruction of various public facilities exposed the most primitive wildness.
Moreover, as time passed, these strange beasts that were not blocked continued to approach the west of Qingyang City.
There are still tens of thousands of people who have not been completely evacuated.
Once approached by a strange beast.
I'm afraid it was an extremely brutal massacre.
"This can't go on like this."
When Zhao Wuji saw this scene, his expression was very ugly. After all, the number of people on his side was too small to stop so many strange beasts.
At this moment, he set his sights on the giant blue wolf king and called directly to the other two teachers: "Old Liu, Lao Zhang, let's join forces together. As long as we kill the giant wolf king, we can stop this beast." tide."
As the leader of the giant wolf king, once he dies, the other beasts will naturally choose to fade away without a leader.
"Ho~"
At this moment.
The giant wolf king seemed to understand what Zhao Wuji meant and roared directly.
Suddenly, all the strange beasts stopped and approached the location of the mountain forest.
Even those in the city did not continue to destroy, and all ran out of the city and came to the giant wolf king.
"what happened?"
Zhu Qingyu and others noticed that the strange beast around them had left, showing strange expressions.
Could it be
Is the war coming to an end?
But it just started not long ago.
But soon, everyone realized that it was not over!
Because, after those strange beasts retreated, the giant wolf king stepped forward step by step. With a pair of blue pupils, he looked at Zhao Wuji and others with an interesting look, as if he was waiting for something.
"Is it going to fight with Teacher Zhao and others?" Seeing this, Senior Wu asked immediately.
"That's right."
Zhu Qingyu said: "So, this giant wolf king deliberately called back the herd."
Speaking of this, she looked very solemn.
Because I've heard it before.
Some cunning alien beasts deliberately do not harm people after entering human cities, but instead wreak havoc.
The purpose is to show off one's own strength and make humans despair, and then start killing people when they have had enough fun.
Just like a hunter, when he catches his prey, he will try every means to torture it.
before.
This is how humans treat wild beasts.
But now, it's the other way around.
"Okay, if you want to fight, then fight!"
As a teacher, Zhao Wuji naturally understood what the Giant Wolf King was thinking.
Then without hesitation, he rushed out with the blood-stained spear in his hand.
At the same time, several teachers beside him also followed, all with their own weapons in their hands.
They were all at the fifth level of the initial realm and had strong bodies. Almost instantly, they approached the Wolf King. Led by Zhao Wuji, they jumped up high and began to attack.
"Ho~"
After the giant wolf king saw it.
He grinned, roared, raised his sharp claws, and swatted it down.
Bang bang bang!
Its power is too great, and it can be knocked down with one claw.
All the teachers, except Zhao Wuji, fell to the ground like meteors, creating a huge hole. Their bodies were cracked and they passed out. It was obvious that they had suffered extremely serious injuries.
And the strongest Zhao Wuji was not much better, even though he had a spear to resist.
But after a few battles, he couldn't hold on anymore, and he fell rapidly from a high altitude, and then smashed through a building.
"this"
When Zhu Qingyu and others saw this scene, their expressions were extremely ugly.
A seventh level.
The other ninth level is even close to the awakening state.
What's more, in terms of physique, alien beasts are more than a step ahead of humans.
The gap is really huge.
Not on the same scale at all.
"Roar!"
Seeing this, the Giant Wolf King had a look of disappointment in his eyes.
It thought these humans were so strong.
It couldn't even stop a claw.
It felt too boring for a moment, and immediately prepared to give orders to attack Qingyang City.
"It's not over yet!"
But at this time, Zhao Wuji jumped up again.
Holding a spear, he stood on the roof of a building and pointed at the giant wolf king: "The real battle has just begun!"
After saying that.
He held the spear tightly with both hands, and his whole body exuded a strong momentum.
A wave of powerful power burst out from his body.
Boom!
The next moment, Zhao Wuji bent his legs slightly, stepped on the concrete floor on the roof with one foot, and jumped up again.
The speed was so fast that it was like a cannonball flying out, rapidly approaching the giant wolf king.
On the spear.
There were also rays of light emitting, with a hint of spear intent.
This was Zhao Wuji's most powerful method, and he also exerted all his strength.
"Teacher Zhao"
After seeing this, Zhu Qingyu and others all clenched their fists.
They prayed in their hearts, even if they couldn't defeat the giant wolf king, at least it would have some effect, right?
But the giant wolf king's eyes were only a little more serious than before.
Then he raised his claws again and fought with him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Zhao Wuji only resisted for a while, not even ten minutes.
Soon he vomited blood, his arms were cracked, and he retreated at a high speed.
But he didn't fall down, he swung another shot, used all his strength, and blocked the attack again.
"Teacher Zhao!" Zhu Qingyu and others shouted, their faces full of worry.
They knew that if this continued, the other party would die.
Initial realm seventh level.
It's good enough to do it now.
For a while, everyone couldn't help but shed tears.
At the same time.
In a hidden corner in Qingyang City.
Lu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, feeling another powerful force surging in his body, and a smile appeared on his face.
Very good, the fourth shackle.
Successfully broken!
But the next moment, he frowned slightly.
Something was wrong, there seemed to be the aura of many strange beasts in the distance
