Chapter 669: The Beast Tide Surging to Guard the Pass
"What the hell is this?!" Fatty Baili's voice was broken.
The huge wave was more powerful than all the waves he had ever seen combined. It was like a wall of water, hitting him hard.
In the huge waves, all kinds of strange beasts were rolling around, their sharp teeth and claws flashing among the waves, which made people's scalps numb.
Lin Qiye's face turned pale and he grabbed Wu Hen's arm, "Shenlong Pass! Go to Shenlong Pass and sound the alarm!"
His voice was a little distorted due to nervousness. This was no joke. The scale of this beast tide was likely to swallow up the entire Shenlong Pass!
Wu Hen was calm and slowly picked his ears.
"Why are you in such a hurry? This is just the beginning. This is just an appetizer. The real show is yet to come~"
His asking-for-a-beaten tone made Lin Qiye want to kick him down.
The speed of the somersault cloud reached its maximum, turning into a white light and flying towards Shenlong Pass.
The wind whistled in his ears, and Wu Hen could even feel his face being deformed by the wind.
He narrowed his eyes, looked at Shenlong Pass which was getting closer and closer, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Shenlong Pass, a towering pass, guards an important passage along the coastline.
At this moment, the atmosphere at the pass was solemn, the night watchmen were on high alert, and a murderous atmosphere filled the air.
Fang Zuo, the leader of the night watchmen at Shenlong Pass, was a middle-aged man with a burly figure and a resolute face.
He stood on the top of the city wall, his hand on his sword, staring intently at the surging waves in the distance.
"Here it comes!" he said in a deep voice, his voice low and powerful.
Beside him, Lu Qiu, the deputy captain of the night watchmen at Shenlongguan, was a man of sturdy build.
The young man with sharp eyes tightly grasped the sword in his hand and nodded solemnly.
On the city wall, other Night's Watchmen and soldiers were also ready for battle.
They held weapons in their hands, staring firmly into the distance, waiting for the arrival of the beast tide.
There was a tense and oppressive atmosphere in the air, like the calm before the storm.
"Shenlong fire defense line, start!" Fang Zuo gave an order, and on the city wall,
Rows of black gun muzzles slowly rose up and aimed at the direction of the beast tide.
These gun barrels are the most powerful defensive weapons of Shenlong Pass.
They can fire powerful energy shells that are enough to destroy any invading enemy.
boom! boom! boom!
The artillery fire roared, and the flames intertwined into a huge fire net, illuminating the sky brightly.
The shells whizzed towards the beast tide, exploding huge waves on the sea surface, and the sea water was reflected red, as if it was boiling.
However, facing such a fierce artillery attack, the beast tide showed no intention of retreating.
They rushed towards the pass fearlessly, like a group of mad beasts.
"What's going on? Why aren't these beasts afraid of death?" A night watchman looked at the madly charging beasts.
There was a puzzled expression on his face.
"Yes, even the most ferocious beast cannot ignore an attack of this magnitude."
Another night watchman echoed.
Fang Zuo frowned, he also felt something was wrong.
The behavior of these strange beasts is so abnormal that they have completely lost their wild animal instincts.
As if controlled by some force, he rushed towards Shenlong Pass regardless of everything.
He raised his head and looked at the surging tide of beasts, and suddenly an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
"Lu Qiu," Fang Zuo said in a deep voice.
"You must immediately go to Tujiao Pass and report the situation here to the commander-in-chief."
"Yes!" Lu Qiu took the order and turned to run towards the city wall.
Fang Zuo looked at Lu Qiu's departing back and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that everything was still in time.
The sound of artillery fire was still deafening, and the flames illuminated half the sky red.
The beast tide was getting closer and closer, and their ferocious faces looked even more terrifying in the firelight.
Fang Zuo took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.
He knew that a fierce battle was inevitable.
He looked at the madly surging beast tide and suddenly said, "No..."
"Something's wrong!" Fang Zuo's voice rang out on the city wall like thunder, making the ears of the surrounding night watchmen buzz.
"These beasts are not just ordinary beasts!"
He narrowed his eyes and stared at the strange beasts that were charging madly under the artillery fire.
Their eyes no longer had the ferocity of wild beasts, but a strange emptiness, like puppets being controlled by humans.
"They... have no fear... no sense of pain... just like... the walking dead!"
A young night watchman said tremblingly, his face looking uglier than if he had been painted with whitewash.
"Damn it, could it be some old man who is behind this?" Another night watchman couldn't help but swear.
He scratched his hair, looking anxious.
"This thing is scarier than zombies!"
A gleam of light flashed in Fang Zuo's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid... it's the power of the Outer God..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the air on the city wall froze instantly, and everyone's faces became extremely ugly.
The Outer Gods are even more terrifying than the alien beasts. They possess unimaginable power.
It can easily destroy a city or even a country.
"Outer Gods?! Who is so wicked?!" A night watchman couldn't help but curse, his voice filled with anger and fear.
"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Another night watchman quickly stopped him and looked around nervously.
"If that thing targets us, we're doomed!"
Fang Zuo frowned, his eyes sweeping across the surging waves in the distance, his heart filled with worry.
He tried to remain calm and analyze the current situation.
"If it's really the work of an Outer God... then what's its purpose? Where is it hiding?"
"Damn it, I don't care where it's hiding! Find it and kill it!"
A Night Watchman brandished his weapon and roared.
"Calm down!" Fang Zuo shouted sternly.
"The most important thing now is to defend Shenlong Pass and wait for support!"
At this moment, several deafening roars came from the tide of beasts.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw several huge strange beasts rushing towards the city wall at an astonishing speed.
"Oh shit! A 'Klein'-class monster!" a night watchman exclaimed, his voice filled with fear.
The "Klein" class behemoths are the most powerful among all the alien beasts. They are huge in size and amazingly powerful, enough to easily destroy a city wall.
"Scatter! Scatter quickly!" Fang Zuo roared and jumped off the city wall first.
The other Night Watchmen also reacted and fled in all directions.
After a few loud noises, several huge gaps were blasted in the city wall.
The sea water rushed in and instantly flooded the area under the city wall.
The "mysterious" people rushed into the city with roars and began to frantically destroy the city's defense facilities.
Fang Zuo's face turned pale. If this continued, he might not be able to hold on until the reinforcements arrived.
His heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
At the same time, Lu Qiu was dragging his exhausted body and rushing towards Tujiao Pass.
His physical strength was severely overdrawn, and his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, but he did not dare to stop.
He gritted his teeth and ran forward desperately, with only one thought in his mind: he must get to Tujiao Pass as soon as possible and pass on the message!
Finally, when he was exhausted, he saw the outline of Tujiao Pass.
At that moment, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
"Tujiaoguan... I... I'm coming..." He used up his last bit of strength and shouted hoarsely, with a hint of urgency and hope in his voice.
He stumbled towards the city gate, but suddenly stopped a few steps away from it.
His eyes were fixed on a flag on the city wall, and his expression gradually became solemn...
"This...this flag..." He muttered to himself, his voice trembling, as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
Lu Qiu stumbled towards Tujiao Pass, his throat felt like it was filled with sand.
The sound he shouted out was not much louder than the hum of a mosquito, "Shenlong Pass... Beast Tide... Outer God...", he finally squeezed out these words.
The guards at Tujiao Pass were confused at first, but when they saw the Shenlong Pass logo on the man and saw that he was about to die,
He immediately became nervous and hurriedly got Lu Qiu into the customs.
The news finally got out!
A huge stone fell from Lu Qiu's heart, and his tense nerves relaxed at once. He felt light and airy, as if he was about to fly.
He grinned with a relieved smile. Oh my god, this life-threatening express delivery finally arrived!
"Brother, hold on!" Seeing his pale face and chapped lips, the guards at Tujiao Pass quickly handed him a bowl of water.
Lu Qiu waved his hands and wanted to say something, but found that he had no strength left.
With a "thump", Lu Qiu fell headfirst to the ground. His eyelids felt heavy as if filled with lead, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
He felt like a fallen leaf, lightly falling down, falling... falling...
"Huh? Where am I?" Lu Qiu felt as if he had fallen into the water.
The cold sea water wrapped around him, making him feel a biting chill.
He tried to open his eyes, but all he saw was a blur of blue.
"Haha..." Lu Qiu's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a bitter smile. Well, this time things have gotten serious, and it seems that I have to explain it here...
He felt his body getting heavier and heavier, and his consciousness becoming more and more blurred.
Finally, he completely lost consciousness, but a faint smile still hung on his face, as if he had seen the dawn of victory in his dream...
"Captain! Look over there..." A guard at Tujiao Pass pointed to a black spot on the sea in the distance, with a hint of doubt in his tone.
"What is that thing...it looks like...a person?" Another guard narrowed his eyes, trying to identify it.
"Go over and have a look!"
