199 Demonic Beast Army Attacking the City

In the forest, countless demonic beasts came out of their nests and ran toward the same place. That place was Changping!

At this moment, the people in Changping didn’t know about the changes in the demonic beasts’ forest. The people in the city also heard the faint roar, which seemed to come from a very far place, but they didn’t take it to heart.

This was because this kind of demonic beast roar have been heard before, so they only treated it as an ordinary demonic beast roar.

Yi Chengrui was inexplicably flustered and suddenly stood up from the chair. The subordinate next to him asked in confusion, “City Lord, what’s the matter?”

“I wonder how Elder Ye’s group is doing.”

It had been a few days since Ye Xuan and the others set off, but there was no news. But to their surprise, the demonic beasts didn’t come to harass them again.

“I think it should be relatively smooth. Those demonic beasts have not come to harass us for several days.”

The frequency of the demonic beasts’ visits was getting more and more frequent by the day. Sometimes, demonic beasts would come several times a day. Now that there had been no movement for several days in a row, it might not be a bad thing for them.

Yi Chengrui shook his head and said, “I keep feeling like something big is going to happen.”

Looking at his troubled appearance, the subordinate comforted him, “City Lord, you’re probably overthinking it. What kind of big thing can happen? I think Elder Ye and his group are all capable. Perhaps they have already solved it. That’s why these demonic beasts didn’t come over to harass us.”

Yi Chengrui’s gaze looked into the distance as he mumbled, “I hope so.”

At this moment, a soldier who was guarding the city ran over in a hurry. He looked flustered and said with fear, “City Lord, bad news!”

“What happened?”

“Many… many demonic beasts are coming this way!”

Yi Chengrui subconsciously crushed the teacup in his hand. He said, “How could this be?”

By the time he rushed to the city wall, he saw rolling yellow sand filling the sky not far away, and he could vaguely see countless figures coming this way.

Yi Chengrui’s eyes lit up with spiritual light. He fixed his eyes and looked further away. He saw countless demonic beasts in the demonic beasts’ forest. They were of all sizes and shapes, and all of them had ferocious faces.

In just a moment, they had already reached the bottom of the city wall. As if they knew that Yi Chengrui and the others were watching, they kept baring their teeth, and stinky saliva suddenly flowed all over the ground.

The roars were deafening. Looking at the densely packed demonic beast army below, which was ten times, or even a hundred times more than the previous horde, everyone revealed a look of fear.

“What’s going on? Have these demonic beasts gone crazy? Why are they all gathering here?”

“It’s over, everything is over. I’m afraid we won’t be able to defend against the beast horde.”

“Such a huge beast horde is unprecedented. I’m afraid there are thousands of them. What exactly is happening in the demonic beasts’ forest?”

Fortunately, they had already activated the city’s protective array when they saw that the situation was not right. Otherwise, they would not have made it in time in this situation where the big army of demonic beasts came rushing to the city walls.

The only one who was still calm was probably Yi Chengrui. After all, he was the City Lord. If even he couldn’t calm down, the people below him would be even more panicked.

“Everyone, don’t panic. The city walls are strong, and with the array, we should be able to hold on for a while.”

Yi Chengrui’s words barely made everyone calm down, but everyone knew that this was only temporary. Not far away, the earth-shattering yellow sand showed that this group of demonic beasts would not give up easily.

In just half an incense’s time, the area below the city wall had become a sea of demonic beasts. It was so densely packed that it gave people goosebumps.

Not far away, there was still a steady stream of demonic beasts pouring in. By visual estimation, there were already thousands of them.

Even the most common type of rodent and herbivorous demonic beasts had joined the siege. There were even natural enemies among them, but they were able to coexist in the same space peacefully.

It was as if these demonic beasts all had a common goal, which was to tear these humans to pieces.

“What’s going on with these demonic beasts? Why would they suddenly attack for no reason?”

Everyone’s hearts sank to the bottom. According to the current situation, if this continued, these demonic beasts could break into the city at any time.

“Immediately gather all the people in the city and prepare for the first level of battle.”

Yi Chengrui’s eyes were grim. He knew that these demonic beasts would not leave easily.

The facts proved that his guess was right. Even though they were blocked by the array, those low-level demonic beasts still used their sharp claws to attack. Even though their claws were covered in blood, they did not give up.

The demonic beasts’ obsessive state made everyone a little flustered.

“At present, it seems that the level of these demonic beasts is not high. It can be considered a blessing amid misfortune. If we gather the strength of the entire city, we should be able to hold on for some time.”

Yi Chengrui’s eyes fell in the direction not far away. Because of the large number of these demonic beasts, they converged into a clear black line, but he couldn’t see any further.

However, he knew that more demonic beasts were rushing over. He shook his head and said with a bitter voice, “Perhaps those powerful demonic beasts are still behind.”

The expression of the person who had said this earlier could not help but freeze. They commented, “It can’t be that bad, right?”

It turned out that what one was afraid of had happened.

A rustling sound suddenly rang out. Countless black streams gathered and formed a huge black wave. The sound was getting closer and closer, and it simply made one’s scalp go numb.

“Oh my God, what is that?”

Countless rodent rats emerged from the ground, and the black tide of rats swept through the surroundings, leaving not even a blade of grass behind. Even if their combat power was the lowest, with so many of them here, they could not be underestimated.
