The Rise of the Shen Family
Chapter 45
Early in the morning, there was a white mist on Zhenze lake, which spread from the lake to dozens of miles along the lake, and everything was hazy.
The white fog began to attack Binhu town. The south wall has been shrouded in white fog. Because of the obstruction of the array, it did not diffuse into the city.
……
"Lao Li Tou, why don''t you say that the monster hasn''t come yet? The whole city has been on alert for nearly half a month." A thin young man complained to a man in his late fifties.
"You boy is still looking forward to the monsters. Every time the monsters of Zhenze Lake flood attack, mortals like us always lose dozens of people. Even those congenital experts are vulnerable to these monsters." The middle-aged man said with a sad face.
Then he whispered to the young man''s ear,
"I also heard that several monks who came down the mountain died once."
"Really? It can''t be true? Aren''t those monks powerful? " The young man looked incredulous.
The middle-aged man glanced at him and said:
"Believe it or not, you think those monsters are easy to deal with. If it weren''t for the resistance of this wall, we mortals would have died."
When the middle-aged man finished, he ignored the young man, looked at the white fog in front of him, and muttered to himself:
"It''s not winter. Why is the lake so foggy?" And involuntarily held the long gun tighter.
……
After a while, the sound of water came from under the city wall. Although it was very subtle, it was very noisy.
"Hey, listen! Is there any movement under the city? "
"There seems to be some water noise."
"Get up, get up, there''s something!"
……
Some of the sleeping mortals guarding the city were awakened by the people next to them. A group of mortals were discussing the strange sound of water.
"Wu Chang, look?" A soldier said to the man dressed as an officer.
"You stay here. I''ll ask immortal master to have a look." Then he ran to a city tower upstairs.
At this time, a monk practicing Qi on the third floor of the building just finished his overnight practice, holding half a spirit stone in his hand.
"Unfortunately, they have taken a task to monitor the city wall. They are good at practicing on the spiritual pulse of the city. It''s difficult for me to have this spiritual power here. It''s not enough for cultivation." The monk kept complaining in his heart.
"Immortal master, there is a strange noise under the wall. Please check it quickly!" The chief''s voice rang out.
"What are you talking about?" The monk said angrily.
The chief bowed his head more respectfully and said:
"To immortal master, there is a strange noise under the wall."
The friar didn''t dare to be careless when he heard it. He was responsible for patrolling. If he missed a big event, not only his life would be lost, but also the postwar family would ask questions.
"Take me there quickly!" The friar said to the chief of staff anxiously.
"Yes, yes, yes!" With the immortal master, Wu Chang ran to the wall of the city.
"Give way, immortal master is coming!"
"Look, immortal master is coming!"
……
The monk with three layers of Qi training passed through the crowd and lay down on the wall to look down. Although the white fog in front of him also hindered his sight, he was already a monk in the Qi training period and looked farther than ordinary people.
He vaguely felt that something in the water was swimming from the lake to the side of the wall, just when he was ready to look carefully,
Suddenly, a dark shadow rushed from the white fog and bumped into the monk. When he got close, he saw that it was a strange fish with a full mouth of fangs and a length of ten feet. Everyone was scared back, just when they were ready to escape.
The strange fish hit the light curtain of the moat array and immediately turned into a pool of meat mud and blood. Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, such strange fish flew out of the white fog and crashed into the light curtain without hesitation, and then turned into blood.
A fishy smell came, and the light curtain began to shake under the repeated impact.
"Monster attack! All staff are ready to fight and ring the alarm! " The friar roared.
A group of mortals guarding the city also began to work, and the sound of horns began to ring through.
The friar also came to the city tower and ran to the top floor, where a huge copper bell was hung.
A psychic force shot out from the fingertips. The psychic force hit the clock and immediately made a "Dong" sound, which began from the city tower to the town guard''s house.
In addition, the alarm bells in the three towers also began to ring. The loud bell let the whole city know that the monster was coming.
……
In the garrison house, Shen Ruiling, who was meditating and practicing, also heard the ringing bell. He hurriedly got up and went out to the open space in the house.
Along the way, Shen Ruiling saw that the whole town guard house was busy, and the family friars from Yunbi peak were also gathering in the open space.
"You go to the west gate, the two to the east gate and the north gate." Shen Huanming saw the family friars gathered together and began to command.
"Yes!"
"Ruiling and Zhou Daoyou followed me to the south gate to see the situation."
"You left two people to look after the eyes." Shen Huanming said to Shen Huantong.
"I''ll send someone now!" Shen Huantong arched his hand.
After giving the order, Shen Huanming and Shen Ruiling swept towards the south wall. They were all the accomplishments of the later stage of Qi practice. They could fly over several roofs with their strength. After a while, they swept up the south wall.
Seeing the arrival of Shen Ruiling, the monk guarding the city hurriedly ran over and said:
"Just now a wave of first-class monsters launched a suicide attack and was stopped by the big array. Now they have just stopped the attack. Please take charge of the defense."
Shen Ruiling saw that there were pools of blood stains on the light curtain of the moat array. You can see how desperate those monsters were just now.
When they looked outside the city, they found that the cultivation of Qi in the later stage had produced a little divine knowledge. In addition, the fog was thinner than before. Shen Ruiling found that the water outside the city was full of monsters.
The huge group of first-order monsters is also mixed with many second-order monsters. From time to time, fish monsters jump out of the water. With the help of the water, they could reach the mortals on the city wall.
Shen Ruiling looked at each other with bitter feelings in their eyes, because they found that not only many second-order monsters, but also four second-order top-grade monsters wandering in the dark.
Just when the three were shocked by the monster lineup in front of them, Shen Huantong also took people up the wall. There were a pair of fully armed soldiers, led by a burly man.
"This is captain Wang. He is responsible for the city defense of mortals." Shen Huantong introduced to the three.
Shen Ruiling took a look at the tough man. He is already a monk with three layers in nature. This kind of master is also a first-class master among mortals. Several people in the team he brought also reveal the innate breath.
After glancing at the crowd, Shen Huanming said with difficulty:
"Tell you a bad thing. As I saw just now, there are four second-class monsters in the water outside the city, and there are no less than ten second-class monsters."
A group of people, especially Shen Huantong, were shocked and shouted:
"How possible!"
He has served as a guard in Binhu town for more than 40 years. Every year, he will encounter monsters who take the opportunity to make trouble, but it''s just one or two second-class monsters with several second-class monsters. It''s easy to guard them with a large array.
I haven''t seen such a terrible herd yet. I heard Shen Huanming say that every monster here has at least reached the first level. Second level monsters can be seen everywhere. There are four second-level top-grade monsters, which has subverted his understanding.
"Do you want to ask Yunbi peak for help?"
Zhou Qiao spoke. He thought it was an ordinary battle. As a result, there were four second-class monsters, which were more than the three of them.
"No, the patriarch is preparing to be promoted to the later stage of foundation building recently. If the patriarch can break through, the influence of our Shen family will be higher in Linhai county."
"Besides, the patriarch asked me to bring four cloud piercing crossbows. As long as we can solve two second-class monsters, we can still keep it by relying on this dharma array."
Shen Huanming denied Zhou Qiao''s idea and said his own idea.
Shen Ruiling thought for a moment. If you can kill two second-class top-grade monsters first, you can really guard them with their strength.
Just when the people discussed, the monster group began a new round of attack. This time, not only the first-order cannon fodder regiment, but also the second-order monster began to attack the city wall.
"Everyone listens to the order. Friars use runes to attack monsters above the second level, providing opportunities for mortals to kill monsters of the first level." Shen Huanming ordered.
"Yes!"
Shen Ruiling is also going to kill several second-order monsters. With his cultivation of Qi level 8, ordinary second-order inferior monsters are just enemies of a sword. Although they can''t go out to fight, they can kill many first-order monsters with a sword Qi.
