189 The Attack of the Demonic Beasts

The most dangerous thing was that there was also a demonic beast following them. Fortunately, the other people of the Sword Sect were not to be trifled with. The moment the demonic beast entered, its chest was pierced by the cold sword.

“Roar!”

The beast’s roar was deafening. At the same time, the city gate also shook violently, as if something heavy had hit it.

Everyone hurriedly ran to the city wall. Countless demonic beasts were banging hard against the city gate, and some even stretched their claws into the cracks, trying to pull it open.

Ye Xuan finally knew where the claw marks on the city wall came from. It was most likely the work of these demonic beasts.

Those demonic beasts had obviously noticed their existence. Their faces were ferocious, and stinky saliva flowed out of their mouths. They bared their teeth, wanting to bite their throats.

Even with the city walls blocking them, they still shuddered at the sight.

The people from the Infinity Sect also recognized Shen Changling and thanked everyone. “If it wasn’t for you guys, we would have become food for the demonic beasts.”

Shen Changling looked at the number of people they had. He said, “I remember that there were a lot of you this time. Why...”

He Feng of the Infinity Sect smiled bitterly as he replied, “We were attacked by a few peak sky rank demonic beasts on the way, so some disciples were unfortunately killed by them. It was not easy to escape, but then we encountered this group of demonic beasts...”

After hearing what had happened to the Infinity Sect, the people of the Sword Sect couldn’t help but take a deep breath. The Infinity Sect was simply too unlucky.

Although the strange birds they encountered didn’t have such high cultivation, the size of the birds that covered the sky wasn’t much different. If it wasn’t for Ye Xuan, they would probably have been beheaded.

“We were in the same situation as you. We were attacked by a large group of strange birds on our way here. We just arrived here not long ago until you guys appeared.”

He Feng was a little surprised. He asked, “You guys were attacked too?”

He sized up the Sword Sect and the others. Compared to their sorry state, Sword Sect’s condition was much better, and there were no casualties. He could not help but ask, “Then why aren’t you guys injured?”

“It’s all thanks to Elder Ye.”

He Feng couldn’t help but feel a little envious. This time, it was all thanks to Ye Xuan that they were saved. He asked, “Speaking of which, what’s the situation here?”

Shen Changling told He Feng about what had happened in Changping, and He Feng immediately understood. He said, “I thought we were the unluckiest, but it seems like everyone’s situation is similar. Those sects that haven’t arrived probably encountered demonic beasts as well.”

They would definitely be in grave danger.

At the thought of this, everyone’s expression was not too good.

At this moment, the demonic beasts were still loitering below the city walls, staring at the people with hostility. As the sun set, the setting sun elongated their shadows. These demonic beasts gradually formed into huge monsters that seemed to be able to tear apart the entire Changping and swallow it up.

Ye Xuan glanced at the demonic beasts below the city wall and asked, “Was there a similar situation before?”

Yi Chengrui nodded. The wrinkles between his eyebrows could almost kill a mosquito.

“The demonic beasts have been harassing us more and more frequently, and their numbers are increasing each time.” He looked at the demonic beasts below and sighed with worry.

“Fortunately, they won’t stay for long before they leave. However, if this continues and a large-scale demonic beast tide comes, I’m afraid we won’t be able to hold on.”

Although there were also defensive arrays on the city walls, they couldn’t stop the beast tide army. Yi Chengrui didn’t dare to imagine what kind of scene it would be when the time came. Perhaps the entire Changping would become a paradise for demonic beasts.

Shen Changling knew the seriousness of the situation here. Originally, with their support, they might be able to help Changping overcome the difficulties and resist the attacks of the demonic beasts.

However, the reinforcements were attacked by demonic beasts on the way. Even if they could reach Changping safely, they would probably lose half of their combat power, which would not be enough to deal with the current situation.

“I’m afraid we’ll have to send a message to Jingdu and continue to send more reinforcements.”

However, just as Yi Chengrui had said, this place was affected by something, and communication methods could not be sent out at all. The Sword Sect disciple had paid an unimaginable price to succeed.

“What should we do now?”

Ye Xuan wasn’t worried. After all, he still had a trump card in his hand that he hadn’t used yet. There were so many Penglai Immortal Beasts and almost every one of them had the strength of sky rank. Some of them had even broken through recently.

It shouldn’t be a problem to deal with these demonic beasts.

However, dealing with demonic beasts was a temporary solution. The key was to figure out why these demonic beasts would suddenly attack people. Even timid rodent rats would attack people without provocation. This was very suspicious.

“You’re saying that the source of all these strange happenings is the mine that suddenly appeared?”

Yi Chengrui didn’t seem to expect Ye Xuan to ask this. He was stunned for a moment before he nodded.

“That’s right. Although we have our suspicions and want to investigate, it’s a pity that we’ll be attacked by demonic beasts as soon as we go out. Furthermore, the mine is deep in the forest, which makes it even more difficult for us to get close.”

“Do you know the location of the mine?”

“According to the information reported previously, I roughly know the location.”

Yi Chengrui couldn’t help but ask, “Are you planning to go over?”

Ye Xuan nodded and replied, “Maybe we can figure it out and find out why these demonic beasts suddenly went berserk. Maybe we can solve the problem here.”

Yi Chengrui was a little worried. He said, “We thought the same, but the demonic beasts in the outer area are already so terrifying, not to mention the depths of the forest. It is said that there are also transformed demonic beasts there. It is really too dangerous.”

None of the people they had sent before had come back alive. There were also a few experts inside, but unfortunately, they all ended up in the same miserable state. Not even a complete skeleton could be found.
