Chapter 1281

Hearing Zhang Kui's words, Han Li's heart churned incessantly. 【WM Web】

"Silver wolf" naturally reminded him of Silver Moon from back then.

That woman's true form was a giant silver wolf, and she also claimed to be from the Silver Moon Wolf Clan. He just didn't know if these silver wolves were the same clan as Silver Moon.

However, regardless of whether this guess was true, it seemed to be of no use to his current situation, so he could only quickly put it aside again.

"If it were just these ordinary wolf beasts, no matter how many there were, they wouldn't be anything to fear with the high city walls we humans have to rely on. What's terrifying is that beast herds are usually led by low-tier demonic beasts that have already opened their spiritual wisdom. Among them, there are also many mutated beasts that are between ordinary beasts and demonic beasts. These mutated beasts, although they don't possess some incredible divine abilities like mutated demonic beasts, are terrifying enough compared to ordinary beasts. Not only are their size, strength, and speed far beyond their peers, but even ordinary low-tier body cultivators can't deal with them in a one-on-one situation." The scarred-faced large man said solemnly.

"So troublesome! Are there many of these mutated beasts in the beast herd?" Han Li frowned.

"Basically, one mutated beast will appear among every thousand beasts." Zhang Kui pondered for a moment and said uncertainly.

"A thousand?" Han Li swept his gaze toward the green beast ocean in the distance again and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Even if he couldn't accurately see the number of these green wolves, there were at least several million of them. With such a huge number, even if there weren't ten thousand mutated wolf beasts, there were definitely several thousand. With so many mutated beasts, this was indeed a fatal force in the defense of a city where no Core Formation level cultivators would appear.

"Alright, let's go to other places and see the situation of the remaining beast herds." After watching for a while, Zhang Kui sighed and said, seemingly not very optimistic about the prospects of this beast tide.

"Why, Brother Zhang is worried that we can't defend this city?" Although Han Li followed the other party down the huge city wall, he still asked with a smile.

"Zhang is indeed worried. The few times cities were breached by beast herds in the past, they were all small cities like Anyuan City that had been established for less than ten thousand years, and they all happened to encounter major beast tides, and it was only because of insufficient preparation that they were breached. And this time, there are Leopard Bird Beasts, this kind of flying demonic bird. This kind of demonic bird doesn't have many numbers, but each one is a level one demonic beast from birth. If we can't defend against them in the air, it's really dangerous." Zhang Kui looked worried.

"Leopard Bird Beasts, are they that terrifying?" Han Li's gaze flickered, seemingly somewhat disbelieving.

"In terms of individual strength, Leopard Bird Beasts don't rank very high among the flying demonic birds in the beast tide, but their bodies can naturally emit a kind of highly toxic poison, and ordinary people will die if they smell it. One cannot fight them at close range; the only way is to shoot them down from afar. But this kind of demonic bird happens to be a relatively agile and fast-moving race. If the anti-air power is insufficient, it's very difficult to truly block them. And Anyuan City's anti-air power is exactly the weakest point of the defense." Zhang Kui said slowly.

"Insufficient anti-air power, how could such a thing happen? Doesn't the City Lord of Anyuan City know the seriousness of this?" Han Li was greatly surprised.

He already knew that almost all the secular power in human cities was in the hands of the City Lord.

"Knowing it is of no use. I heard that when this city faced the last beast tide, it suffered heavy losses, consuming all the power it had originally saved. Being able to restore the current defensive power is already the result of the City Lord's painstaking efforts. I heard that he even borrowed some weapons and soldiers from other cities. The anti-air power is naturally helpless." Zhang Kui actually said such words.

Han Li was speechless after hearing this.

Not long after, when Han Li stood on another section of the city wall following the scarred-faced man, the red beast ocean formed by snakes over a zhang long appeared before his eyes, looking even more daunting than the green wolf herd.

The only favorable news was that this kind of red python beast was non-toxic and wouldn't spray poison mist, making it much easier to defend against.

Han Li saw giant pythons appearing from time to time in the python sea whose size far exceeded their peers, and he sighed again.

This kind of mutated giant python coiled in a group was a full ten zhang long, not much smaller than a red jiao. If an ordinary person were entangled or swallowed by this giant beast, the outcome could be imagined. And because the red python herd was far larger than the green wolf herd, the number of these mutated giant pythons was naturally larger.

After seeing the two beast herds, Han Li regretted not seeing the Leopard Bird Beasts mentioned by Zhang Kui.

According to the scarred-faced man, this kind of demonic bird generally lived in hidden places, and the demonic bird herd would not appear until the time of attack.

"What are the beast herds waiting for now? Why haven't they launched an attack immediately?" Looking at the python herd in the distance, Han Li suddenly asked this.

"The beast herds are led by demonic beasts that have opened their spiritual wisdom, so it's impossible for them to swarm in. They must be contacting the other two beast herds before deciding on the time to launch a joint attack, so that we humans cannot attend to everything. Generally speaking, this time is about a day or so. Let's go. I think our Tian Dong Trading Firm should have received the order for preparation in the city. In such a major battle, we are just a drop in the ocean. Let's do our best. If we are lucky enough to break through a bottleneck or realize something in the slaughter, it won't be in vain that we took such a risk to stay." Zhang Kui sneered at the end and led Han Li back to the city, finally returning to the inn.

Sure enough, the guards in the inn had already received the order from Anyuan City and had to set off immediately to go to a certain place to gather and prepare.

The Jinyu Sect cultivators, including the brocade-robed man, had been invited away a step earlier.

Zhang Kui didn't hesitate at all and gave the order immediately. More than two hundred guards of the Tian Dong Trading Firm all set off and walked out of the inn in a grand manner.

At this time, other private teams and scattered body cultivators conscripted like the trading firm were everywhere on the street. It was just that most of their numbers were not as large and fierce as the Tian Dong Trading Firm's guard team, with only five or six people, or dozens of people walking together.

Han Li and the others walked all the way, naturally attracting extra attention. The more than fifty knights riding one-horned giant wolves were even more eye-catching.

After all, this kind of war beast called the Suan Wolf was one of the few war beasts tamed by humans in the Spirit Realm. Each one was carefully cultivated from a young age, and only after the wild nature was completely removed could they cooperate with the knights on their backs to exert extraordinary strength, so the price was not cheap.

Only a wealthy trading firm like the Tian Dong Trading Firm had the ability to purchase so many Suan Wolf war beasts for its guard team.

The crowd and everyone else on the street were led to a huge square near a section of the city wall. This section of the city wall was the part facing the green wolf beast herd.

There were already tens of thousands of strong men who were unarmed, as well as teams of various costumes and scattered body cultivators gathered there. Among them, there were also individuals riding Suan Wolf beasts, but adding the knights of the Tian Dong Trading Firm, there were only two hundred or so. Around the square stood some soldiers of Anyuan City maintaining order, all fully armed.

A middle-aged man wearing silver armor stood at one end of the square, talking to a Confucian scholar and a monk beside him, seemingly the leader.

Han Li saw this person, his gaze condensed, and he discovered that this person was the leader of the gate guards he had met when entering the city gate.

The monk and the Confucian scholar beside him were naturally the two cultivators who had been ordered to check their team. He didn't know what ability this silver-armored middle-aged man had to be able to keep these two people under such circumstances.

This silver-armored middle-aged man saw that the crowd had gathered almost enough, waved his hand behind him without a word.

A soldier with a loud voice immediately stood out and issued a series of orders that had long been prepared.

The order first was to pick out all the knights with mounts in the square and form a separate cavalry team. Then, a batch of land turtle carriages poured into the square, and soldiers moved a large batch of weapons and a small amount of armor from the turtle carriages, then began to distribute them to those strong men.

As for those body cultivators, they naturally looked down on these ordinary weapons and stood in place, watching coldly.

At this time, another batch of soldiers began to organize those strong men who had received weapons. Han Li and these private teams and scattered body cultivators were temporarily put aside and ignored for the time being.

Just when these private guards and body cultivators were somewhat suspicious, suddenly a long wolf howl came from outside the city, this howl was extremely high-pitched and shrill, filled with a thick, crazy intent.

Han Li heard this, his eyes narrowed, and before he could think carefully, the ten thousand wolves outside the city wall howled together, the beast roar rolling like thunder.

Those body cultivators were still fine, only their faces changed slightly, but ordinary people, under the shock, only felt that there was only the sound of beast roars left in the world, and nothing else.

But all this was just the beginning. From another direction, there came "hissing" sounds and strange wooing beast roars.

Although these sounds were not as turbulent as the wolf howls, they made people feel cold and chills run down their backs when they heard them.

At this time, the copper gongs set up on the city wall were all struck at almost the same time, "Dang Dang," and then a long male voice came from the air. The voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone in the square:

"Be careful! The beast herds are starting to move toward the city wall!" It was a gray-robed cultivator of the Foundation Establishment stage, stepping on a flying sword, standing high in the air and transmitting the sound. He was not the only one making warnings in the air; almost every piece of sky above Anyuan City had a cultivator floating high in the air, all issuing warnings.

Instantly, the entire Anyuan City was in a commotion. Teams of soldiers who had long been ready to set off immediately marched in waves to climb the city wall, and the giant crossbows on the city wall also began to be operated by people standing behind them...
