The sky was completely dark, and the long streets of Tianfeng City were lit up one after another. From a distance, the dark night was no longer cold, but more indescribably gentle.

Pixiu pulled a piece of dog's tail grass from nowhere, held it between his teeth, and swayed it from side to side following his steps.

As they approached the gate of the base, the two saw a slender figure, it was Lin Xi who had received the message from Xu Tianshen, and came out to meet them.

"Lin Xi! Lin Xi, let me tell you, the boss and I made a big deal today!" Seeing the acquaintance, Pi Xiu couldn't wait to yell.

Lin Xi rolled her eyes angrily, "What big things can you do, why, wipe out the entire herd?"

"Damn, what is your expression, looking down on me, Pixiu? How can you say that I am also a spirit beast, and it is unreasonable for me to be looked down upon by a little human woman!"

Lin Xi got to know him well, and she no longer put on the airs of a cold goddess. "Pull it down, return the spirit beast, I think you are the exception in the group of spirit beasts, mother-in-law, you are more feminine than women!"

"You, you, you!" Pi Xiu met his opponent for the first time, and his handsome face turned red for a while, making Lin Xi laugh out loud.

Xu Tian looked up at the city lord's mansion not far away, interrupted the chatter of the two, and murmured, "Lin Xi, didn't anything major happen in the camp today?"

Even if the two of them had been out for less than a day, he was still worried about something unexpected.

Lin Xi, who was still arguing with Pi Xiu, suddenly calmed down, and her face gradually turned pale. Seeing this, Xu Tian frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

"Commander, in fact, when you were going out, someone reported that dozens of households in the southwest had died of their livestock."

Pi Xiu also imitated frowning, pretending to be deep, and rubbing his chin, said: "Dozens of households' livestock died at the same time, what's going on, can't it be attacked by a ferocious beast?"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Tian retorted: "Use your brain, the city gates are closed, where did the beast come from?"

Pi Xiu pouted, "That's right."

Xu Tian was silent for a moment, and asked Lin Xi to continue talking.

"I heard from the people that they were not attacked by wild animals, but committed suicide. An old man even saw their yellow dog hit the wall and died. There is also a strange thing, that is, several wells have become muddy. Black liquid came up, undrinkable at all..."

Lin Xi glanced at Xu Tian at this point, and saw the other person's face was calm, before continuing to speak: "After these strange things happened, the people in the city were panicked, but fortunately, the city lord has issued an order to strengthen the patrols in the city and calm people's hearts. Commander Xu, don't be too nervous. I'm worried."

After hearing this, Xu Tian didn't speak, but raised his head and looked towards the direction of the forest. The mountain covered with layers of trees looked like a huge god statue.

Taotie was born and lost his mind, fierce beasts killed each other, livestock in the city committed suicide, and black water spewed out from the well. It is definitely not a coincidence that all these strange things happened one after another!

Whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, who was behind the trick, he will figure it out sooner or later.

Seeing that Xu Tian's eyes were dull, Pi Xiu just frowned tightly, then he raised his hand and shook it in front of the man, bluffing:

"Boss, boss is back to his senses, what's the matter, you can't even move your eyeballs, those who didn't know thought you were taken away!"

Lin Xi slapped the opponent's paws off, and looked at Xu Tian worriedly, "Commander Xu, are you alright?"

Xu Tian took a deep breath, came back to his senses, and immediately said: "I'm fine, you two go back to the camp first, I still have something to discuss with the city lord."

Lin Xi wanted to say something, but seeing Xu Tian had turned around, she had no choice but to shut up, and was dragged by Pi Xiu to the camp.

"Why are you like a piece of dog skin plaster, hey, Pixiu, do you hear me, take your dog's paw away!"

Lin Xi looked unloved all the way, arguing with Pi Xiu while walking, and didn't calm down until entering the camp...  

City Lord's Mansion, Study Room.

Nangong Tianyi sat on the top seat, and several commanders of the Iron Armored Guards were sitting on the two rows of tables and chairs next to them.

A group of people were discussing the strange things that happened during the day. At this time, a soldier came to report that Commander Xu had returned from going out.

Nangong Tianyi immediately said happily: "Please!"

Not long after, the soldier brought Xu Tian into the study.

Xu Tian was dressed in a black robe, with a tall and straight figure, bowed his hands, and gave a military salute to Nan Gongtian, who was in the first place, with a sonorous and forceful voice: "City Lord."

Nangongtian nodded, "Commander Xu doesn't need to be too polite, come here, give Commander Xu a seat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two maids moved in a chair from outside the door, and another pair of servants moved onto the wooden table. Xu Tian thanked him and took his seat gracefully.

Xiong Pi and the others hurriedly asked, "Commander Xu will gain something from going out of the city today?"

"Yes, Commander Xu is very powerful, but have you seen any beasts in the deep forest?"

"Commander Xu, many strange things happened in the city today, what do you think?"

As soon as Xu Tian took his seat, several people began to ask questions in a hurry, Nangong Tianyi stopped him with a faint smile: "You old guys, you must let him take a breath first, right?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xu Tian again, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Tian, ​​what did you go out this time, and you asked Lin Xi to report that you left the city gate early, and now is the time when the beast horde breaks out, so I can't be sure One day a herd of beasts will appear, and you are too ignorant to do so!"

Faced with Nangong Tianyi's questioning, Xu Tian apologized lightly, and explained: "City Master, this time the incident really happened suddenly. One of my subordinates was attacked by a herd of beasts, and his life was at stake. I can't just ignore death, so I asked Lin Xi to tell the city lord."

Xu Tian didn't say anything about the life-and-death contract between the Tauren and himself. It wasn't because he didn't trust the city lord or any of the generals present, but because of his personality.In this savage world, it is true that the law of the jungle preys on the strong, the strong are respected, and force is paramount, but wisdom must also be emphasized, especially in dealing with people, and caution will never go wrong. .

Chapter 492

The soldiers of Tianfeng City are stationed in the camp, the tenth squadron of the Iron Armored Guards.

The cool night wind blows from the valley, with a sense of refreshment, and the moon is still heartlessly hiding behind the treetops and laughing, which is in stark contrast to the suffering in this world.

By the well, Pixiu pouted his lips, "This water is too dirty, I don't want to wash clothes in such dirty water!"

Lin Xi just acted like he was a child, and continued to beat his clothes, "Pull it down, how will you wear it if you don't wash it? Otherwise, you can wear the soldier's father's uniform, anyway, you are about the same size as me."

When he heard that Lin Xi wanted to give him his military uniform, Pi Xiu's eyes lit up immediately, but then he thought, that military uniform is so ugly, and it looks exactly like other people's, how boring, he just doesn't want it.

"I don't wear it, you should wash it for me."

After finishing speaking, he continued to watch Lin Xi wash his clothes with his face propped up. Not long after, Lin Xi suddenly asked: "Just now Commander Xu left in a hurry, and I haven't had time to ask where you are today. I heard that Commander Xu is going to save people. , who is that man 26, have you been attacked by a beast?"

A series of question marks confused Pi Xiu, so he scratched his head and answered one by one: "Well, you have too many questions, which one should I answer first?"

Lin Xi burst out laughing, and simply said: "Just sit next to me and tell me about the experiences of the two of you today, what happened."

Pixiu nodded, this is simpler.

"It's like this. The boss and I did go out to save people. That person seemed to have signed some kind of contract with the boss. Anyway, he called the boss his master. When we went, he hid in the cave. Later, Taotie appeared. The boss wanted to let the boss We left safely and led Taotie away alone..."

Said to hit here but was suddenly interrupted by Lin Xi's scream.

"What, you mean Taotie, which Taotie, is that legendary ancient beast?"

Pi Xiu frowned and glanced at her, not understanding why Lin Xi was so shocked, "That's right, it's that Taotie, how many beasts are there in the world called Taotie."

Lin Xi stared blankly at him, her eyebrows furrowed tightly. "How could ancient ferocious beasts appear here? Didn't they mean that they have disappeared for thousands of years?"

In fact, there have been various records and legends of ancient spirit beasts circulating in the world. Lin Xi has been familiar with these stories since she was a child, but it is clearly recorded in the history books that the ancient spirit beasts have long since fallen in the Great War. How could they suddenly appear here?

Pi Xiu actually wanted to tell Lin Xi that he was also a legendary ancient beast, but after thinking about it, he decided to speak.Although the title of the ancient beast is an honor, it is also extremely easy to bring disaster.

"Ahem, anyway, that Taotie is very powerful. Fortunately, the boss let me, I attracted its attention with a big move, and then the boss took the opportunity to attack the Taotie's Achilles' heel."

Lin Xi's eyes widened suddenly, and he interrupted suddenly: "You killed it?"

"How come, the boss said that you can't kill the ancient spirit beast, it will attract the punishment of the gods, so we knocked him unconscious."

Lin Xi took a long breath, as if he had personally witnessed such an earth-shattering scene.

"It's really dangerous. Fortunately, you didn't have any accidents, but what about the rescued person, why didn't you see him?"

What Lin Xi asked was Ji Xin, the corner of Pi Xiu's mouth twitched, and he said nonsense, "Hey, the boss has already arranged him in the barracks, so you can't see him, he's just a soldier."

Xu Tian proposed to leave to see how the soldiers were training, but was put on the seat by several commanders.

"Hey, Commander Xu, don't worry, it's already here, why don't you have a drink with my old bear!" Xiong Pi laughed a few times, raised the wine glass and stuffed it into his hand.

"That's right, Commander Xu is young and promising, we are really ashamed, and I would like to toast you!" The person who spoke was an old general who had been friends with Xu Tian on weekdays and was also one of the top leaders of Tianfeng City. one.

Seeing the two of them urging them to drink, the commanders of the Iron Armored Guards seemed to have opened up, giving them one cup after another.

Seeing the overzealous leaders, Monk Xu Tian Erzhang couldn't figure it out, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Wait, why are you so abnormal today?"

Nangongtian couldn't stop laughing, and waved his hands: "Xu Tian, ​​you don't know, they are very happy. This morning, the Qingxu sect sent someone to send a letter of surrender, saying that they will come to visit me soon, and this time the beast tide also hopes to join forces. Resist, and sent people to send a lot of advanced weapons and precious medicines!"

After hearing this, Xu Tian realized that it was because of this incident. No wonder he received a lot of eager eyes as soon as he entered the door. Thinking about it, when he reported the surrender of Qingxuzong to the city lord before, most people didn't believe him. Now After waiting for the letter of surrender, the impression of him naturally changed drastically.

Thinking of this, Xu Tian chuckled, and said with a smile: "I appreciate the kindness of the commanders, but there are still important matters to report. After this beast tide is over, it's not too late for us to let go of our stomachs and drink!"

Speaking of this, everyone put down their wine glasses one after another.

"Commander Xu is right. There is a country to have a family. The people are facing the disaster of the beast tide. As parents and officials, we really shouldn't enjoy ourselves." The old man in official robes said.

"Commander Xu said just now that there is something important. Could it be about the beast tide?" Xiong Pi also frowned, and the smile disappeared from his face.

Xu Tian nodded, and said with a serious expression: "Yes, I went out today and met a god-level beast, Taotie!"

"What, Taotie!" Even Nangong Tianyi didn't hold his breath, and jumped up, "Xu Tian, ​​can you see clearly, is it really the ancient fierce beast that can devour everything?"

Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they were all speechless, looking at Xu Tian one after another.

"Return to the city lord, it is absolutely true."

Xu Tian's attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and he continued: "The gluttonous body is shaped like a bull like a tiger, with a bloody mouth, a height of hundreds of feet, and very powerful spiritual power. If it hadn't found its death spot, it would be impossible to escape him with only human strength. hunt."

Nangong Tianyi suddenly fell down on the chair, his face was as pale as paper, this time the animal horde actually appeared gluttonous, how can they resist in Tianfeng City!

Xiong Pi's dark face showed sorrow, and he sighed: "Gaotie, that's gluttony, how could this happen? Is our Tianfeng City really going to perish!"

"This beast tide, I'm afraid I really can't make it through."

Everyone bowed their heads in silence. Xu Tian had expected this reaction a long time ago, and murmured: "Everyone, don't lose your confidence."

Hearing this, Nangong Tianyi forced himself up and asked, "Xu Tian, ​​do you have an idea?"

Xu Tian nodded, and then couldn't stop shaking his head, "Have you ever thought about it, although this forest is vast and boundless, but the beast hordes over the years are easy to deal with, at most a lord-level beast will appear from time to time, let's lead it up alone It can be solved, but this year, ancient beasts appeared.".

Chapter 493

After Xu Tian finished speaking, everyone looked at each other.

Nangong Tianyi, who was in the upper position, frowned slightly, raised his hand and said, "Xu Tian, ​​do you mean that this is not a natural disaster, but a deliberate act?"

There seemed to be a cold air in the study room, rising from the bottom of everyone's feet. Could it be that this animal horde was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster?

As the time passed, the more people thought about it, the more their hairs stood on end. If this beast tide was really man-made, who was behind it? Ferocious beasts have always been at odds with humans, how did the other party control the beast tide?

A series of question marks linger in their hearts, and there is no answer.

Compared to their restlessness and worry, Xu Tian seemed much calmer. He picked up the teacup on the long nanmu table, took a sip slowly, and said calmly, "Everyone, don't worry too much, the truth will eventually come to light." One day, the top priority should be how to survive this disaster."

Nangong Tianyi deserved to be the city lord. Although he was shocked, he reacted quickly. Seeing the male lead open his mouth, he comforted everyone and said: "Commander Xu is right. Since it has become a fact, we should stop discussing it. We need to study how to deal with it. Those ferocious beasts are the ones. You must know that beyond the city wall is the primeval forest, and inside the city wall are our wives, parents, and unarmed people. Our only mission is to hold on to the city wall and swear to the death!"

The veteran commanders were all infected by the city lord's words, and their faces showed resolute expressions.

"Don't worry, the city lord, we will live as people of Tianfeng City, and die as ghosts of Tianfeng City, we swear to die!"

Nangong Tianyi showed a little relief on his still handsome face, and turned his head to look at Xu Tian. For some reason, this young man named Xu Tian had not been in Tianfeng City for a long time, but he refreshed his worldview time and time again. It's nothing more than being strong, and the mind is also first-class sober and smart.

It's really talented people from generation to generation. If it weren't for people from outside the city, Nangong Tianyi might even want to give him the seat of city lord.

Countless thoughts flashed through Nangong Tianyi's mind.

But when he saw Xu Tian's calm and deep eyes like ancient wells, he suddenly felt that he was funny again. This young man was so talented, how could he be willing to be just a small Tianfeng City lord, he was just worrying about it.

"Ahem, Xu Tian, ​​you just analyzed so many things about the beast horde, so based on what you see, how should our Tianfeng City resist~~?"

The words of the city lord made the leaders and generals who were still discussing turn their attention to Xu Tian.

"Yes, Commander Xu is young and smart, so he naturally has more ideas. This beast horde is fierce, and our troops in the city are limited, so what should we do!"

Xu Tian looked up and punched, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is indeed difficult, but it is not impossible."

Nangongtian raised his eyebrows, and asked: "What method, just say it!"

"City Master, in the opinion of my subordinates, our city wall has been in disrepair for a long time. This beast swarm is no small matter. If it is left alone, Tianfeng City may not be able to survive for an hour!"

After Xu Tian answered in a straight line, everyone was in a cold sweat again, couldn't they last an hour?

"Here, I, the old bear, will fight with them. Come and cut one, and I will kill the other. I don't believe that I can't get rid of these people-eating beasts!" Xiong Pi poked his big knife on the ground fiercely, There was a burst of dust.

The old official next to him yelled, and hurriedly persuaded: "Commander Xiong, please be safe and don't be impatient, let's see what Commander Xu has to say."

Nangong Tianyi seemed to be contemplating, and continued after a long silence: "Then Xu Tian, ​​you mean to push the city wall to be rebuilt? But it's too late, the high priest just reported to me yesterday that the beast horde is just a week away .”

"I can't even build a fort in a week!" Several generals shook their heads and sighed.

Xu Tian took a deep breath and interrupted: "City Master, the entire city wall cannot be built within a week, but we can strengthen it!"

"Reinforcement? How to reinforce it?"
