Chapter 1617 Reinforcements Are Coming
The Jindan monks retreated in an orderly manner under the cover of the Jindan monsters. They did not dare to pursue too fiercely. If they were surrounded by monsters, they would lose their lives no matter how strong they were. Therefore, the Jindan monks just watched from behind. After the monsters retreated a certain distance, they returned to Funiu City.
The Jindan monks were greeted by cheers from all over the city. Although the previous battle was extremely tragic, with countless monks killed and wounded, and everyone alive was injured, they finally won a game. Facing this hard-won victory, everyone was finally able to vent the frustration of the past few days.
Because of the victory today, the monsters will definitely not be able to organize a second attack in a short time. There is no need to open the city defense formation again. Just send a few foundation-building monks to patrol from time to time, which can save a lot of spirit stones. Of course, the city walls destroyed in the battle need to be repaired as soon as possible.
It was a rare victory, so the city lord, Master Funiu, ordered a good celebration, but there was no reward. The monsters had not completely retreated, and the city defense formation still needed a lot of spiritual stones to support it, so it had to be saved as much as possible. Therefore, the city lord's mansion only collected a lot of spiritual wine in the city, and slaughtered some of the monsters hunted today, which was also a celebration banquet with wine and meat.
As for the monks who participated in the battle today, most of them were replaced. Today's battle was too tragic, especially for teams like Jinjiling Town that had participated in the battle for two consecutive days. The casualties were 60% to 70%, and they were on the verge of collapse. They had to withdraw for repairs.
The monks in Jinjiling Town suffered great losses, but the gains were also huge. The monks who survived the fierce battles not only increased their strength, but also obtained a lot of monster materials. The number of monster casualties was much greater than that of the monks. On average, each living monk killed at least two or three monsters, especially the three people from Tianjiazhuang who cooperated with Qingyang, each of whom killed more than five monsters.
Although it was still wartime, the prices of the shops in the city were very low, but the quantity was large. Each of the three people in the Tian family harvested no less than 100 spiritual stones. For a Qi-refining cultivator, it was already a considerable fortune. Tianjiazhuang might not have this income in a year.
After dealing with the monster materials, the cultivators in Jinjiling Town stayed in the residence arranged by the City Lord's Mansion to recuperate. There was nothing to see in Funiushe at this time. If they ran around, they might be caught as spies. Moreover, the battle was not over yet. They were only replaced temporarily. Once the battle went badly, they might be sent to the battlefield again at any time. They must recover their injuries as soon as possible and adjust their status to avoid losses in the next battle.
In the next three days, perhaps because they suffered losses in the previous battle, the monsters became much more cautious and only launched several small-scale tests on Funiushe. Because the cultivators were well prepared, neither side gained any advantage, and the battle was not as fierce as before.
On the fourth day, the situation changed. The number of monsters suddenly increased a lot, and the offensive was more fierce than before. Less than two quarters of an hour after the battle began, the Qi Refining cultivators could not hold on. In desperation, the Foundation Building cultivators and the Golden Core cultivators had to join the battle in advance and engage in a melee with the high-level monsters.
According to the previous arrangement, after the high-level cultivators joined the battle, the low-level cultivators and low-level monsters would gradually withdraw, but this time the monsters did not follow the previous steps, but took advantage of the chaos to rush into the city. The high-level cultivators were restrained, and there were too many monsters pouring into the city. It was impossible to activate the city defense formation for a while. Seeing that the situation was not good, Master Funiu could only summon all the cultivators to join the battle, so the cultivators in Jinjiling Town re-entered the battle after three days of rest.
This battle was larger than all the previous ones. The number of monsters exceeded 100,000, and there were 70,000 to 80,000 monks participating in the battle. There were only more than 30,000 Qi-refining monks in Funius City, and the rest were all monks in the middle and late stages of the Kaimai Realm. At such a life-and-death moment, they could not care about so many things. Almost everyone who had the ability to fight monsters participated in the battle.
The battles not only took place inside and outside the city walls, but also in the air, underground, and the entire Funius City. There were battlefields everywhere. Strong monks fought several monsters alone, while those with less strength had several people besieging a monster. Such battles were extremely tragic. Occasionally, monsters rushed into the mortal area and killed people, causing incalculable casualties. In the face of this situation, high-level monks were powerless. The enemies they faced were even more powerful, and they had no hands to help. The only thing they could do was to pray that the Kaimai Realm monks in the city could stop the monsters by their numbers.
Qingyang could see that the situation in Funius City was extremely urgent. If he did not take action, the entire Funius City would probably be breached. Although the mortals and cultivators here had nothing to do with him, he could not bear to see so many people die and get injured by the monsters.
Qingyang made up his mind and was about to take action. Suddenly, a red light flew towards Funius City from a distance. Seeing this, many cultivators on the top of the city were relieved, and some even shouted: "Reinforcements are coming. The seniors from Crouching Tiger City are here to save us. Our Funius City is saved."
Hearing this news, the morale of the cultivators in Funius City was immediately shocked, and they burst out with unprecedented strength, and actually blocked the momentum of the monsters. At the same time, the red light had stopped above Funius City. At this time, everyone could see clearly that the red light was a fiery red spirit ship. Because it was flying too fast, it looked like a red light flying from a distance.
The spirit ship stopped, and twenty Jindan monks flew down. A few of them went to help the Jindan monks in Funiu, and the rest went straight to the fourth, fifth and sixth level monsters. The strength of the fourth, fifth and sixth level monsters was only equivalent to that of the foundation-building monks. How could they withstand the attacks of a large number of Jindan monks? They were killed and retreated in a few strokes, and fled to the outside of Funiu City.
Not only these fourth, fifth and sixth level monsters, but also Jindan level monsters fled. Their number was much smaller than that of human monks, and they could barely fight the Jindan monks in Funiu City to a draw. Now that a few new forces suddenly joined, how could they withstand it? Each of them looked for opportunities to escape.
In the previous fierce battle, many human monks were killed and injured, and even Funiu City was almost breached. How could the Jindan monks present give up? Now that the reinforcements have finally arrived, they must regain their ground and teach those monsters a profound lesson, so that they will not dare to come to Funiu City again. Without any special arrangements, more than twenty Jindan cultivators used their own methods to chase after the Jindan monsters, determined to keep them at all costs.
