Chapter 200 - 200 If There's No Hope, Will a Miracle Happen?

200 If There’s No Hope, Will a Miracle Happen?

The most important thing was that these rodent rats seemed to have mutated. Their mouths were filled with sharp fangs, and their heads were several times larger than usual. Under the sunlight, they shimmered with a sharp cold light.

If someone fell in, they would probably be gnawed into white bones in a second. Although they were vegetarians, their form clearly could not be treated with common sense.

“Is this still the rodent we’ve seen before?”

Before the crowd could be surprised, they saw these rodent rats swarming up and lying on the city wall. They did not hesitate to bite. Even with the array blocking them, they did not show any signs of letting go.

Even if one rat died, there would still be countless rats behind it that would pounce on it.

“Hurry up! Quickly kill them! We can’t let them eat and destroy the array!”

Although it was a defensive array, because it had been set up before, the people inside could still attack. Otherwise, the array would not be able to withstand the gnawing of the rats.

After a period of chaos, although many rodent rats were beaten down, there were too many of them, giving people a feeling that there was no end to it.

Someone suggested, “While the demonic beasts are gathering down there, we can use flying magic weapons…”

Everyone was a little tired, and the rats below were still restless, but they were much better than before.

Not far away, another sandstorm was set off and it was coming toward them at a rapid speed. At the same time, the sound of wings flapping could be heard in the rolling yellow sand.

Everyone suddenly had a bad feeling.

When it got closer, they realized that it wasn’t a sandstorm at all. It was a hornet the size of an adult’s fist, and the silver needle on its tail emitted a sharp light.

“It’s a Rank 2 demonic beast, the Golden-Winged Hornet!”

There were too many hornets and when they gathered together, it looked like a sandstorm, even more so than the previous rat swarm.

The most important thing was that their stingers also had a numbing function. If one was accidentally stabbed, they would quickly lose their mobility.

The sky was filled with hornets like a sandstorm, and below them was a black tide of rodent rats. Everyone felt breathless, but this was not the worst.

“BOOM!”

With a loud bang, even the ground trembled, and a huge cloud of dust was suddenly sent up, almost blinding everyone’s eyes. Almost everyone trembled.

“W-what’s that?!”

Because of the fear, the guard’s voice was distorted, as if he had seen something inconceivable.

An incomparably huge demonic beast was slowly walking toward them. It was almost half a floor tall, and its pair of scarlet beast eyes made people feel intimidated.

Because of its huge size, the ground would shake as it walked. The aura that it emitted was also particularly terrifying.

If it was converted to the level of human cultivators, it might have already surpassed the sky rank.

Yi Chengrui’s vision turned black and he almost fainted. However, the current situation did not allow him to fall.

The others looked at the demonic beasts that covered the sky and the earth. Some were flying in the sky, some were walking on the ground. If it wasn’t for Changping’s lack of water bodies nearby, even demonic beasts in the waters may have surfaced as well.

“City Lord, we didn’t have such a situation before. Could it be that the group of people who went to the demonic beasts’ forest touched some kind of taboo item?”

No matter how urgent the situation had been before, the demonic beasts had not come out in full force like this. It was the first time that such a huge demonic beast tide had appeared.

Even Yi Chengrui couldn’t help but wonder if it was really because of Ye Xuan and the others that this group of demonic beasts had been angered, which led to their revenge.

“If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have let them go into the demonic beasts’ forest so rashly…”

The others also agreed with this point of view, and the team gradually began to complain.

However, now was not the time to talk about this. It was too late to regret it. Yi Chengrui glanced at them with an unspeakable coldness and stopped them from continuing the discussion. He shouted, “Enough!”

“Is there any use in saying all this now? Would our complaints make these demonic beasts leave? It’s not the time to say all these.”

No one dared to say anything more. Someone asked, “What should we do now?”

It was impossible to go out of the city and attack. That would be simply courting death. Now, they could only be passive and pray that the array could last longer, allowing them to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

“Send people to keep an eye on the city wall. All cultivators are to stand guard with me. If there are any abnormalities in the array, report it immediately!”

“Also, try to preserve your strength.”

Yi Chengrui found that there were still some demonic beasts that hadn’t made a move. He didn’t want to take the initiative to provoke them, but he still had a faint hope that these demonic beasts would leave on their own accord like the previous few times.

Although he knew that this hope was very slim, this was the only way out. He had no other choice but to defend Changping.

No one dared to delay their movements. They knew the seriousness of the matter, and no one thought of escaping. Now that the demonic beast army had surrounded the city, not even water could flow through.

The number of demonic beasts in the sky was even more unknown. It was possible that once they went out, they would be torn to pieces, so it was even more unrealistic to send someone to send a message.

Yi Chengrui’s confidant asked, “City Lord, is it okay for us to do this…”

He didn’t say anything and just stared at those demonic beasts. His back was already drenched in sweat, and Yi Chengrui was also not confident.

Even if the reinforcements arrived, would they be able to deal with so many demonic beasts?

Yi Chengrui didn’t dare to think about it. If there was no hope, perhaps this group of people in the city would have no hope of survival now. At least they still had a trace of faith to support them and pray for a miracle.

“If Elder Ye’s group is really the one who caused this disturbance, I hope they can find a solution as soon as possible.”

What Yi Chengrui was most worried about was that Ye Xuan’s situation was not good either.
