Chapter 258 Death Is Not Worth Mentioning in the Face of Certain Things
Huo Yuhao was obviously not the only one who didn't understand what this siren meant.
Many new students and parents who came to study in Mingdu from other places also encountered this situation for the first time, and their faces were already pale with fear.
There are many gathering places for soul beasts in the Sun and Moon Continent, but the only gathering place that can form a tide of beasts is the Jingyang Mountains. As the city closest to the Jingyang Mountains, Mingdu will naturally bear the brunt of such an incident.
Nowadays, many people in Mingdu happened to encounter things that they would never encounter in their lifetime. Although they had not heard of the rumors that Mingdu was conquered by the beast tide, they were still subconsciously afraid.
"Don't panic, everyone!"
The dean who reacted used a hint of soul power when he spoke, and his majestic voice rang in everyone's ears, instantly silencing the somewhat panicked crowd.
The dean of the martial arts department is not here, so he is the most qualified person on the scene to give orders.
At this moment, his fat face was filled with perseverance. There was no trace of the apologetic smile he had shown when he faced Huo Yuhao before. He was issuing instructions in an orderly manner to the teachers around him.
"Inform all senior students in the academy to go to the northern city wall to support the city defense forces, while the junior students will be taken to take refuge together."
Then he seemed to have thought of something, pursed his lips, and continued to add.
"Leave a few teachers with medium cultivation to guard the academy. If the city is attacked, we will take the junior students and flee Mingdu."
Although he had confidence in Mingdu's defense, the dark red clouds in the sky that kept moving towards this direction from the Jingyang Mountains made him realize that this beast tide might be unusual.
The same scene was also seen by Huo Yuhao. His eyes flashed slightly, and the guess in his heart was confirmed. Of course he knew what the dark red cloud was. Wasn't it the one he had seen in his previous life? It was caused by the evil emperor's vast soul power. The ocean of soul power formed by it?
Hearing the dean say such words, several teachers suddenly showed expressions of disbelief. You must know that since the establishment of Mingdu, there have been many large and small beast tides, but they have never been breached. This is also Give them enough confidence.
But the dean is so pessimistic, which is really unexpected.
But even if they were doubtful, they knew now was not the time to question.
After receiving the order, several teachers rushed into the college and began to gather people. The remaining few began to maintain order on the scene and took the freshmen present into the college for refuge.
After finishing everything, the dean looked at Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena and said solemnly.
"Teacher Huo, please come with us to seek refuge."
When these words came out, Huo Yuhao was slightly startled, and felt a little confused about whether to laugh or cry.
"Dean, I'm not a student, right?"
"Yes, but people like you, Mr. Huo, should make contributions elsewhere instead of working hard with the rest of us."
Just kidding, even if something happens to him, nothing can happen to Huo Yuhao. Through the other party's speech just now, he has already realized how valuable the young man in front of him is.
He is already old, and the contribution he can make is very limited. If he dies, he will die. But the Huo Yuhao in front of him represents the future of the soul guidance system.
Hearing the dean's words, Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, and saw a carefree smile appear on the other person's round face.
"Let us older people do this."
However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Huo Yuhao.
"Thank you, Dean, for your kindness, but..."
The young man also had an inexplicable smile on his face and said.
"I'm not used to hiding behind others. As a teacher, I should do my part to resist the beast tide. Don't worry, Dean, I'm very strong."
Hearing this, the dean felt a slight shiver in his heart, and then he realized that he might have underestimated this mysterious young man.
When the other party entered school before, I just saw the other party displaying the skills of the soul guide, and directly decided to let the other party enter the school, without even thinking about the other party's strength.
In their soul guidance department, whether it is recruiting teachers or students, the standards can even be said to be very low.
During this period, the Sun and Moon Empire was completely trying to cross the river. Soul guides were like a hodgepodge, with no classification at all. It was only after Huo Yuhao came that the relevant standards were determined for them in the past few months.
As for the grading of soul guides, there are some signs. Some soul guides of the same type have better effects, but the more soul power is consumed to make them. Naturally, some people realize that the soul power level can affect the soul guide. Made of equipment.
Not everyone can make a soul guidance device like Huo Yuhao. If most people's soul power level is not up to standard, they will not be able to withstand the consumption of soul power during production.
However, according to Huo Yuhao's observation, no one in the entire Sun Moon College has produced a soul guide that can meet the third-level standard, so this classification is still somewhat useful for freshmen who have just entered the school. After all, the unified admission threshold for students in the college is twelve years old. If you have reached level 15 before, with this kind of talent, you can reach the level of a great soul master in a year or two, which is more than enough to make a second-level soul guide.
Therefore, at this time, the Soul Guidance Department does not require additional soul power levels to recruit students.
However, there are still some requirements for the soul power level when recruiting teachers. As a teacher from the first university in the mainland, the level must not be too low. It is not that the college is worried that the teacher will not be able to teach students well if he does not have the strength, but that the teacher will not be able to convince the public.
As the highest institution of higher education in the mainland, Sun Moon College houses the most amazing talents in the entire continent.
Geniuses are somewhat arrogant, and without sufficient strength, it is really difficult to make these students obey.
This phenomenon is more common in the martial arts department, so their soul guidance department doesn't care so much about the teacher's standards. As long as you have the ability, it doesn't matter if the level is lower. It's not like you are taught to fight in the martial arts department.
For someone like Huo Yuhao, who is unparalleled in soul guidance skills and handsome, factors such as soul power level are even less important. The dean really can't think of anyone who wouldn't want to listen to Huo Yuhao's class. Naturally, There is no need to examine his level.
Perhaps the only disadvantage of having a low soul power level is that Huo Yuhao is not safe when walking alone at night.
Now that he heard the other party say this, he hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"I really admire Teacher Huo's character. In this case, please come with me and don't run around. If the sky falls, the taller ones will bear it first. If you encounter an enemy that you cannot defeat, please protect yourself." His life is the main thing.”
The other party looked so young, and no matter how confident he was, he didn't think that the other party's soul power level would be that high. Human energy was limited, and it was extremely impressive to be able to research soul guidance device technology to such an extent at such an age. It’s rare that you still have the energy to improve your soul power.
However, since the other party had this intention, he still did not choose to refuse. He just thought that even if he risked his life, he would protect this young man who could bring a future to the soul guide.
"I will."
Seeing Huo Yuhao nodding in agreement, the dean turned around and led the way, taking the lead in galloping towards the city wall.
On the city wall tens of meters high, nearly 10,000 soul masters were waiting in formation, looking solemnly into the distance. Because they were too far apart, they could only see the smoke and dust rising on the plain at this moment, as well as the smoke and dust that were constantly approaching them in the sky. red clouds.
Compared with the two empires of Douluo Continent, Tiandou and Xingluo, which have almost no soul masters, most of the soul masters in Sun Moon Continent are controlled by the empire. This is why they dare to build their capital on the Soul Master just like Wuhun Palace. The confidence near the gathering place of beasts.
Around them, many ordinary soldiers without soul power were busy arranging various strategic materials.
Although it was the first time for them to encounter a beast tide in their lives, they had no shortage of training in dealing with this aspect. They had successfully defended against it countless times, and it would definitely be the same this time.
Ordinary people are completely unable to participate in the battle with spirit beasts.
If an army composed of ordinary people were allowed to fight an army composed of low-level soul masters, the ordinary army might suffer greater casualties, but it would not necessarily have no chance of winning if they were overwhelmed by numbers.
But if an ordinary army is allowed to fight against a tide of beasts, even if it is only a hundred-year-old spirit beast, no matter how many people there are, it will be a one-sided massacre. The only difference is whether the spirit beasts are eighty percent full or whether they are full and burped and then packed away.
In the final analysis, it is the difference in body. The body of a low-level soul master is not much stronger than that of ordinary people, and he cannot withstand being slashed by a big knife.
But soul beasts are different. Even tigers that are not soul beasts have physical qualities that are far beyond what humans can match. A snake that has been cultivated for hundreds of years can achieve invulnerability with its scales.
So as ordinary people, in addition to doing some odd things, they can only pray silently at this moment. Occasionally, if someone looks up at the soul masters around them, the worries in their hearts will dissipate a little.
The number of soul masters stationed in Mingdu alone has reached nearly 10,000. This does not include the soul masters who are arriving in the city and are not part of the army. With such a powerful force, it is difficult for ordinary beasts to deal with it. They pose a threat.
"How is the situation now?"
Suddenly, a voice came from above their heads. Everyone present looked up and saw several streams of light rushing towards them quickly. In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of them. It was none other than the three titled Douluo who came from the imperial palace and directly belonged to the empire. .
Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena also arrived here at almost the same time under the leadership of the dean.
The leading soul master looked around, and finally stopped at Huo Yuhao. After a moment, he shifted his gaze and spoke in a deep voice.
"The beast tide has not approached yet, and the specific scale cannot be determined yet."
Although the other party did not deliberately release his aura, Huo Yuhao still saw that the other party was also a Titled Douluo, and he felt a little emotional in his heart. Together with the three who came over at the same time as them just now, he saw four Titled Douluo at once. Luo, although his cultivation level is not particularly high, he is still much more powerful than Tian Dou and Xing Luo.
As time passed, more and more soul masters came from the city to support them, including many students from Sun Moon Academy whom Huo Yuhao knew. Their young faces were filled with nervousness until they saw Huo Yuhao was also present, and his expression softened.
I don't know why, but as soon as they see Teacher Huo, their restless hearts calm down inexplicably.
As the beast tide approached, everyone present clearly felt a faint tremor coming from the city walls. Looking up, the moods of several titled Douluo suddenly fell to the bottom.
Countless soul beasts were attacking here like a tide, and their movements were not fast. Looking around, the darkness was overwhelming, which gave a huge shock to the people watching this scene.
However, compared to the previous beast tides, the scale this time was not that big. What really frightened the Titled Douluo were three figures that were significantly larger in size.
Two of the images were huge eyeballs surrounded by tentacles. Judging from the aura, the three heads were obviously hundred thousand year soul beasts.
At this moment, they felt as if they were falling into an ice cave, and their mouths and tongues felt numb.
If it weren't for this beast tide, they wouldn't even know there would be so many hundred thousand year soul beasts. According to records, the most serious beast tide before only had one hundred thousand year soul beast. That battle was completely delayed by the three Title Douluo in Mingdu at the time until the Title Douluo in other cities came to support and repelled the beast tide.
It takes three Title Douluo to hold back a hundred thousand year soul beast.
And now, there are three.
It is simply unreasonable that there are three hundred thousand year soul beasts in such a beast tide.
Facing such top combat power, if they can't contain the three hundred thousand years, even if they only let one of them enter the battlefield, it will cause a devastating blow to the middle and low-level combat power.
"What should we do?"
The four Title Douluo looked at each other, and one of them spoke hesitantly.
No one answered his question, and no one knew how to solve this unsolvable situation.
Suddenly, the Title Douluo with the strongest aura took a deep breath, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
".We must buy time for the people in the city to evacuate. I will hold one by myself later, and the remaining two will depend on you."
The other three looked at him deeply and nodded gently. Although the opponent's cultivation was higher than theirs, he was only level 93. It was dangerous to fight a 100,000-year soul beast one-on-one.
Three people to deal with the remaining two 100,000-year soul beasts.
If one is not good, all of them may die here, but they cannot retreat at this time. Once they retreat, they can indeed survive with the cultivation of Titled Douluo.
But the millions of people living in Mingdu will turn into food for soul beasts in an instant.
The Titled Douluo with the strongest aura looked around at the crowd, looked at the desperate expressions of each one, and pursed his lips.
They did not deliberately lower their voices just now. Even if some people did not hear them, they should be able to guess that the situation was not optimistic by looking at their expressions.
"Everyone is right. We may not be able to hold the city this time, but there are still millions of people in the city who have no time to evacuate. If we don't buy them time, they will definitely not be able to outrun the soul beasts."
He did not boost morale, but told everyone the situation. At the end, his tone was hoarse.
"This can be said to be a mission that will definitely lead to death, so I give you the right to refuse. Turn around and leave now, and you still have a chance to survive."
As soon as the voice fell, the scene fell into silence.
I don't know how long it took, and I don't know who raised the question.
"But if we hold the city, we may not die, right?"
As soon as this was said, a lot of discussions suddenly rang out in the crowd.
"Yeah, who said we will definitely die?"
"I'm a defensive spirit master, I can't run fast... I'll stay here and block for you for a while."
"Who said we, the agile attack spirits, are going to run away? We haven't said anything yet. We are fast, and even if we fight, we have a high chance of survival. Let's give this opportunity to the strong attack spirits..."
"Bullshit! Without us, how could you kill a spirit beast?"
Everyone said one thing at a time, and never mentioned the escape, nor the consequences of them staying...
There are always some things that make death not worth mentioning.
Gradually, the voice stopped, but the despair in everyone's eyes had disappeared, replaced by an extremely strong fighting spirit.
The four titled Douluo had been watching this scene silently, their eyes were already red.
"In that case, let us... fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
The voice like a mountain torrent and tsunami drowned out all the surrounding sounds.
The dean of the spirit guidance department was in the middle of it, his body was trembling slightly, he subconsciously looked to the side, and his face suddenly changed.
There was no sign of the boy or girl who came with him.
