After comfortably defending the city for several days, casualties finally occurred. Although some monsters had managed to get through the city defense formation, the soldiers defending the city were able to hold on to the city walls in the end.

When the beast tide receded and General Beichen was arranging the wounded and the dead, Lord Kang personally led people to check the core of the formation, but after checking it several times, they did not find the problem. They were puzzled, and finally Lord Kang decided to go and see if the man brought back by Xiao had woken up. If he had woken up, he would try to get the reason from him.

At the same time, President Qiao, who had recovered from the war, came to the ward to visit Xiao. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a human-shaped Zongzi groping at a big red bird.

"When I was fighting with that Servant, I was hiding well and wasn't affected by its power. But he turned around and smashed directly into the body of another Servant, taking a bloody bath that soaked me thoroughly." Ling Xiao knew he was in the wrong because he didn't come out to help Xiao when he encountered a strong enemy, so he tried to find ways to find topics to talk about to hide his discomfort.

Xiao stopped what he was doing and cast a threatening look on Ling Xiao's face: "You clean it up yourself?"

Although the sound was weak, Ling Xiao still heard it and shut up. When Xiao continued to clean, it grumbled aggrievedly: "I don't have your ability, and I can't mobilize my vitality to possess you. If I don't deal with it in time, it will be corroded. After being corroded, it will be scrapped at best, and at worst..."

Ling Xiao paused, glanced at President Qiao who had just arrived, and then said, "You don't want to have another emperor-level enemy for no reason, do you?"

Xiao nodded at President Qiao, and continued to guide his energy to expel the evil aura from Ling Xiao without changing his expression, completely ignoring those words.

Originally, Hong Xiao would not return control of his body at this time, but Cang Que only helped him treat the wound roughly. After coming here and letting the doctor treat his injuries carefully, while he was still immersed in the doctor's eyes of "Why are you here again", Ling Xiao revealed his true form and asked Hong Xiao to help him clean his body.

When it came to his own survival, Ling Xiao also became tough. Hong Xiao was not a person who liked to obey orders, which made the air very tense. Xiao was afraid that the two of them would fight and tear down the ward, so he also toughened up and took back the control of his body, almost fainting from the pain on the spot.

How could he tolerate his body being taken away from him? Hong Xiao immediately took back the control and wanted to continue to fight Ling Xiao, but he was stunned the next second. Wait, who took it away?

In the end, Xiao still took control of the body. He learned the reason from Ling Xiao and agreed to help it clean. Then the big bird started to play the victim, but Xiao really didn't have time to pay attention to it. At this time, Jie Guo's body was already very painful after being kneaded by Hong Xiao. There was also a voice in his ear. He couldn't hear the content clearly, but the voice kept muttering, making him a little irritated.

"Don't make things difficult for the wounded." President Qiao walked over. He definitely didn't come empty-handed. On the way, he turned to the auction house and took some healing pills there. Although they were all relatively low-level healing pills, and the effect on the Saint level was not very good, it was better than nothing.

Seeing that Ling Xiao kept talking to Xiao and Xiao looked painful, President Qiao changed the subject and started chatting with Ling Xiao.

As one of the most powerful puppet creations in the world, Ling Xiao had experienced many years and had some understanding of the monsters outside the city. The most difficult thing about these monsters was their ability to corrode and assimilate. If its strength had been restored to a certain extent and it could mobilize its vitality to protect its body, it would not be afraid of facing the servants and servants.

Few people can survive the purest malice, but it is a puppet, without so many emotions, and has extremely strong strength. It can use the most violent method to remove the materialized malice. Similarly, powerful practitioners can also use this violent method to resist erosion.

But each of the messengers had their own strange methods, so it could not come to a conclusion. It had seen a strong man who formed an army by himself, annihilated many monsters, and killed a messenger with one blow; it had also seen a genius who inexplicably changed overnight and became an enemy of his old friends.

The two chatted for a while, and then President Qiao received a call from Lord Kang and left.

In the meeting room of the City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Kang explained the current situation to the other five people present, including a piece of bad news that had just been received - the supporting army was ambushed by monsters and was caught in a tough battle. Although more reinforcements were sent, the situation was tense. It was suspected that several emissaries intervened in the battlefield, and it would take at least a week for the reinforcements to arrive.

President Qiao recalled the conversation just now and suggested that maybe he could ask the big bird next to Xiao to take a look at the formation. He repeated the conversation with Ling Xiao, and everyone thought it was worth a try, so he went to Xiao's ward again. At this time, Xiao had finished cleaning and was resting, and he looked good.

Red Xiao didn't know what he did, but the voice that had been chattering in his ear disappeared. Without the inexplicable voice chanting in his ear, he felt better.

President Qiao explained his purpose, and Ling Xiao bluntly stated that he did not understand the formation, but since President Qiao had already talked to him about monsters, he should have guessed the reason why there was a problem with the formation.

"What will the erosion eventually lead to?" asked President Joe.

Ling Xiao fell into deep thought, as if he was recalling the past. After a moment, he spoke: "According to my memory, in the end the formation will be useless and unable to resist the beast tide. It may even turn into a cage to imprison the city."

President Qiao went back and relayed Ling Xiao's words. Everyone in the meeting was silent for a while, and soon fell into a heated discussion.

In the middle of the night, Xiao couldn't sleep. The worst thing was that he received a call from his roommate at this time. Don't tell him that at this time, these guys still had the leisure to drink and party until midnight. Yes, the college seems to have suspended classes these days, so it's not impossible that they are partying like crazy.

The call was connected, and the other party expressed his most sincere greetings, as well as his deep longing for Xiao, who had not returned home for several days and nights and was not seen during the day.

Xiao looked at the communication stone with mixed feelings: Could it be that Guan Muzhe is really drunk?

The voice in the communication stone gradually faded away, as if the person who spoke was dragged away. Soon, someone else spoke from the other side.

"Xiao, your voice seems a little weak."

Xiao: It hurts. You can tell that? Is my disguise not good enough?

"Just fell asleep." Xiao replied.

Red Xiao: "When did you become so hypocritical?"

Xiao: "Also? Why do you say that?"

Red Mandrill: "Did I say that? You heard me wrong."

Xiao: “Oh, I see.”

Red Mandrill: "Hmm? Wait, what do you know?"

Xiao: Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, no thoughts, no ideas...

Red Mandrill: What the hell?

After a few pleasantries, they finally got to the point.

"The academy suddenly announced that all the honorable students should gather in the cafeteria tomorrow morning. Do you know any inside information?"

Xiao thought about it. The recent major event should be that there was a problem with the formation. There were monsters attacking the city. Could it be that the students were asked to assist the city defense army? He was not sure. In line with the principle of not making or spreading rumors, he reminded Li Jiangchuan, the only person in the dormitory who met the requirements, to pay attention to safety and avoid injury.
