Chapter 275 Beast Tide
As soon as he walked onto the street, Xiao Lin saw rows of monks in dark green robes heading towards the city gate.
The mortals on the roadside pointed and talked in fear, and even many local cultivators in the immortal city stared at the sky above the city wall with ugly faces.
Xiao Lin also followed the gaze of the crowd and looked towards the city wall. He saw a dark cloud floating in the void hundreds of feet outside Ziyang Immortal City.
The strange thing was that above the black cloud, there was a layer of overwhelming flames, almost covering half of the sky.
Xiao Lin's face changed. As a foundation-building cultivator, he could naturally see through the city defense formation flashing with five-colored spiritual light at a glance and see that the black cloud was actually an astonishing number of crows.
"That's the Fire Crow, a high-level mortal monster, a beast tide, this is a beast tide."
Some people have already started shouting in fear. After hearing this, many mortals turned pale. They knew very well what the beast tide meant.
The legend of the beast tide has been circulating in Zi Ri Xian City for many years. The horror of the beast tide is naturally widely circulated. However, three hundred years is too long for ordinary mortals. It is so long that when they hear about the beast tide, they gradually regard it as a legend.
However, there is one thing that has been described vividly in the story, that is, once the beast tide comes, Zi Ri Xian City, as an outpost, is almost impossible to completely resist the overwhelming monster attack. At that time, those immortal masters will choose to temporarily leave Zi Ri Xian City.
And once Zi Ri Xian City is occupied by monsters, these mortals have no hope of survival, and will only become food for monsters.
Xiao Lin's face was also a little ugly. When he learned that the beast tide was coming, he thought about whether to leave. In order to participate in this remote trade fair, he still let himself be trapped here.
In his opinion, the monsters were lurking outside the city, and the defense formation that had not been opened for hundreds of years in Zi Ri Xian City had already been activated. It was almost impossible to leave at this time.
Not to mention that the defense formation was activated, the Xian City would be wrapped in it, and no one would think of going out. Even if someone let him out, facing the overwhelming monsters, he would probably be blasted into pieces in one encounter.
A huge golden escape light dozens of feet long passed over Xiao Lin, dragging a long golden tail flame, and fell on the city wall in the blink of an eye. The escape light dissipated, revealing a fifty-year-old man in a hemp robe.
He stood on the city wall with his hands behind his back, his five-willow long beard fluttering in the wind, and his whole body exuded a majestic spiritual pressure. He glanced coldly at the fire cloud in the distant sky.
"Don't panic, I am Dong Changli here, all the disciples of Bei Lan Sect, quickly get on the formation and fight the enemy with me." The voice of the old man in the hemp robe was like a thunder, floating over Zi Yang Xian City.
"Respect the elder's decree." In Ziyang Immortal City, there were responses from all directions, and then countless escape lights flew up, turning into countless lights, flying in all directions.
At this time, Xiao Lin also noticed that on the solid city wall, a group of colorful light circles appeared at some point, and those Beilan Sect disciples jumped onto the light circles and sat down.
Xiao Lin's face was full of shock. He naturally knew that these Beilan Sect disciples were using some kind of formation to connect their own magic power together, and it was very likely connected to the city defense formation.
"Om."
A light circle rose under the feet of the old man in the hemp robe, and it actually wrapped him up, and then slowly rose several feet.
Xiao Lin saw that the position under the feet of the old man in the hemp robe, a circle of light appeared, and kept surging above the old man. The five-colored spiritual light above Ziyang Immortal City became more and more dense with a "Om".
At this time, there were already many cultivators beside Xiao Lin, driving magic tools, flying into the air, watching from afar.
Ziyang Immortal City, which was usually under a no-fly ban, completely lost its effectiveness as the city defense formation was opened, so many casual cultivators flew into the air and looked out of the city.
Xiao Lin was also mixed in with many casual cultivators, driving a high-level magic weapon and ascending into the air.
As soon as Xiao Lin looked out of the city, he saw that the dark fire cloud began to move, and the overwhelming flames fell from the sky and landed on the five-color spiritual light shield of the city defense formation.
This scene really shocked Xiao Lin, as if a giant pot full of magma was overturned, covering a huge fire cloud of thousands of feet, pouring down.
When the fire cloud fell on the five-color spiritual light, Xiao Lin saw that the many Beilan Sect disciples who were sitting cross-legged in the light circle turned pale, and a few of the lower-level cultivators even spit out blood and their faces turned pale.
The old man in the hemp robe had cold eyes, staring into the distance, as if the overwhelming fire crows above his head were not his enemies, but the mountains in the distance.
Xiao Lin and others also saw that a large amount of dust was raised in the mountains, and countless giant trees suddenly fell down.
"Attack." Seeing this scene, the old man in the hemp robe snorted coldly, and on the city wall, some disciples of the Beilan Sect who had not merged with the city defense formation heard the words and all cast spells and attacked the mountains below.
Various basic spells, emitting colorful spiritual light, fell into the mountains like raindrops.
As a large number of spells fell in the mountains, there was a scream, and between the fallen trees, it could be vaguely seen that the rats that shuttled through the mountains were actually a foot long.
The hair on these rats was like iron needles, their eyes were bloodshot, and there were thin wing membranes between their limbs. After encountering a large number of magic attacks, these rats immediately suffered heavy casualties, but those who were lucky enough not to be hit opened their wing membranes and flew into the air, passing the magic attacks and drilling into the foot of the mountain in Ziyang Fairy City.
"Break it for me." At this time, the old man in hemp robe suddenly looked up at the sky, with a trace of anger on his face. As he pointed at the golden sword beside him with one hand, the golden sword immediately burst out with brilliant golden light and shot into the light circle beside the old man in hemp robe.
"Buzz." Four shocking golden swords suddenly appeared on the four-sided city wall, soaring into the sky, bringing a large piece of golden sword energy, and slashing into the crows.
The sky was filled with wailing, and feathers fell like snowflakes.
The huge fire cloud was actually cut into several pieces, and the pouring fire cloud also stopped abruptly.
"A grain of rice can also shine?" The old man in the hemp robe looked coldly at the crows that were scattered by the sword energy, and a trace of contempt appeared on his face.
The sky was full of black crows flying in all directions, and the Ziyang Immortal City, which was originally covered in darkness, immediately shone brightly, but everyone saw that as the black crows flew away with wailing, rows of huge firebirds were revealed, floating in the air.
Ziri Immortal City itself was built on cliffs, but these huge firebirds were floating in the void thousands of feet above Ziri Immortal City. When the black crows dispersed, they opened their mouths.
Fireballs the size of a human head fell from the sky, and many fireballs gathered together, like meteors falling to the ground, which was thrilling.
The old man in the hemp robe saw this scene, and his face turned pale, but he did not show any fear. As a Jindan elder of Beilan Sect, stationed in Ziri Immortal City, in this situation, even if he was unwilling, he could only lead all the disciples to resist the attack of the beast tide.
Otherwise, even if he was an elder of the sect, he could not bear the guilt of deserting the battlefield.
Thinking of this, the old man in hemp robe was refreshed, turned around and said to the many Beilan Sect Foundation Establishment disciples beside him, you should form a formation to clean up the Soul Devouring Rats that have already climbed up, and never let them climb up.
The twenty or thirty Beilan Sect Foundation Establishment disciples beside him heard this, although they were reluctant in their hearts, but they could only nod their heads, leading two or three hundred Beilan Sect Qi Training disciples, driving various magic tools, rushing out of the spiritual light restriction, and flying down the mountain.
Not far away, Xiao Lin saw that at the moment when those Beilan Sect Foundation Establishment disciples flew out, the spiritual light restriction of the city defense formation actually opened a gap directly, allowing those Beilan Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators to go out.
When they went out, the gap was re-filled and disappeared.
Xiao Lin's face darkened. It seemed that if he wanted to leave Zi Ri Xian City, he had to get the consent of the old man in hemp robe. Moreover, the spiritual light of the city protection ban could not only block the attacks from outside.
It did not block the external attacks of many cultivators in the city at all, which was amazing.
Xiao Lin also knew very well that now was not a good time to leave.
At present, Zi Ri Xian City, whether in the sky or underground, was probably surrounded by a large number of monsters. If he left at this time, he would inevitably encounter an overwhelming attack of monsters.
Xiao Lin believed that no matter how powerful he was, he would die in such a situation.
Above the void, countless fireballs spit out by firebirds fell on the light shield of the city protection array, bursting out large pieces of flames and spiritual light, which was magnificent. However, the light shield of the city protection array, in addition to bursting out ripples like water waves, was extremely solid. Obviously, it was not possible to break through this shield in a short time.
At this time, a shrill scream suddenly came from the bottom of the mountain. Each scream only stopped halfway.
Many casual cultivators who were watching the battle on the city wall heard the screams and their faces changed drastically, showing horror.
These people have been practicing and living in the fairy city for many years. They have also formed teams to go to the demon plain thousands of miles away to hunt monsters and obtain various refining materials, but it is the first time in their lives to face the scene of the battle between cultivators and monsters.
In this kind of war, a strong individual's combat power can only increase the chance of survival. The best way is naturally to give up the fairy city where you practice and leave far away.
Escape to the fairy city without disputes and continue to practice.
Therefore, many people have the idea of leaving Ziyang Fairy City.
