I don’t know why, but this war was so massive. Unlike the previous ones that ended quickly, it became more and more prolonged, as if they had sent out all their men to break through the defense line at all costs!

Time flies, and half a year has passed in a flash. During this half year, An Ran, An Yu, Jun Zichen and Xu Errong finally found the source of the dark power in Tieshi City.

There is a dark beast stationed here. The power of darkness and the black crystal stone are just baits it releases to attract its food!

In the first two months, An Ran, An Yu, Jun Zichen and Xu Errong had already found the reason, because... the four of them almost became food in the belly of the divine beast!

Later, under oppression, the cooperation between the four became more and more tacit, and the fight against the mythical beast became more and more handy!

Half a year later, in the final struggle, the four people and four beasts finally broke free from the clutches of the divine beast and left the Iron Stone City completely!

When they appeared in the outside world, it was afternoon. It was not as calm as usual, but chaotic, with people fleeing everywhere!

An Ran, An Yu, Jun Zichen, and Xu Errong first found the nearest city. There was nothing unusual in this city except that the security was a bit tight.

They asked around for some information and looked for a teleportation point. However, there was no one guarding the teleportation point. They tried to use it, but all the teleportation points were destroyed and could not be used at all!

The four of them simply prepared some dry food and water, loaded them onto Xiaohuo's back, and flew towards the border town at top speed. Except for a short break, they traveled day and night.

Fortunately, there is Xiaohuo, and fortunately, Xiaohuo's strength has become stronger, and Xiaohuo's speed is even better than before.

Slowly, they were surprised to see something.

Outside the border town, in the area governed by the Eastern Territory Alliance, everything was quite peaceful. In fact, there wasn't even a single scene of fighting.

Leaving the Eastern Region, we entered the territory of Falling Snow City. Just like the Eastern Region, the situation was peaceful, with no enemy attackers in sight. Passing Falling Snow City, we officially entered the border town area.

What we saw next was completely different!

Corpses were scattered all over the ground, blood flowed like a river, and burning, murder, and looting were commonplace.

Cities and villages have all become ruins, or dead cities, or occupied by members of dark organizations.

Some ordinary refugees fled in a panic.

Enemy attackers can be seen everywhere. In the past, the dark organizations did not kill ordinary civilians, but now they kill them on sight.

Any woman with even a hint of beauty would be abducted. One need only imagine what would happen to her; it would be horrific!

An Ran's eyes were bloodshot with anger, and her whole body was shaking! An Yu, Jun Zichen, and Xu Errong's once calm and handsome faces were also filled with gloom.

There were two enemy attackers bullying some civilians below. He raised his arm, and several sharp edges appeared, and the two men fell down. "Xiao Huo, hurry up!"

“Ah!…”

Speed ​​up! This is the border town, and it’s only half a day’s journey back.

Gradually, the border town appeared in front of them. However, more and more people from the dark organization on the ground were seen.

"Boom!" There was a shock in front!

An Ran, Jun Zichen, An Yu, and Xu Errong rushed to the scene. Over the cliffs outside the city, they saw two figures engaged in a fierce battle in the air, their movements too fast to discern who was who. In the distance, a group of injured individuals from the Border City Seed Training Camp were seen, with others administering first aid. Nearly ten bodies lay lying around. Among them... appeared to be two elders.

Anran was shocked!

Who is the enemy? The one in the sky?!

Both elders of the Guard Seed Training Camp died, and a Shadow Guard was also lost.

The haze shrouds the border town.

Soon, the group returned to the border town.

An Ran and Xu Errong didn't have time to greet Jiang Wenting before they looked at the injured person. Wherever they went, they were met with grateful eyes. No matter whether they were friendly at the time, at this moment, they were truly grateful!

For special moments, keep it simple.

The bodies of all those who died in the battle were temporarily placed in an ice cave, and the funeral would be held together after the crisis was over.

In the evening, the sunset glow has a blood-red color.

After the meal, Jiang Wenting came to find An Ran, An Yu, Xu Errong and Jun Zichen. An Ran couldn't leave because of something, so only An Yu, Jun Zichen and Xu Errong left with Jiang Wenting.

An Ran let Xiao Huo take her to the top of the tallest building. She activated her spiritual sense and took in the entire border town. She also confirmed that the area around the border town was safe for the time being and no suspicious person appeared.

"Xiao Huo?" An Ran reached out her hand worriedly and gently stroked Xiao Huo's smooth feathers, which had transformed back into a bird. "You seem uneasy... What are you afraid of?"

At this moment, Xiaohuo hesitantly raised his head, and glanced at Anran with pitiful black eyes, as if he was considering something, or wondering about something. In the end, he still said nothing.

Then, An Ran flew around the border town on Xiao Huo's back and returned to the city lord's mansion.

At this time, in the main hall, the only five remaining elders were discussing a solution with Jiang Wenting, An Yu, Xu Errong and Jun Zichen.

Seeing that everyone was looking at An Ran as soon as she came in, she pursed her lips and said, "You guys chat, don't bother me." With that, she walked directly to Jun Zichen and sat down cross-legged on the couch.

"Where did you go?" Jun Zichen asked with a frown. At this moment, he hoped that An Ran could stay quietly in a safe place instead of running around.

An Ran replied, "I didn't go anywhere, I was just wandering around. I accidentally discovered that the number of people from the secret organization outside seems to be increasing."

"Um?"

“…” She shrugged and said nothing more.

And no one doubted what she said.

However, this piece of news made the atmosphere in the hall even more solemn.

An Ran glanced at the people around her. They were likely some of the most important figures in Border Town. Four of the eight elders were missing. She knew two had died today, but where were the remaining two? If not dead, then they must have been seriously injured. Otherwise, there was no way they wouldn't have been present at such an important meeting.

This time, they obviously suffered heavy casualties!

It was indeed a city-massacre crisis. She had heard that the guards and those undergoing training outside had already retreated back into the city, but the number of people present was actually smaller than she had seen last time. Moreover, more than half of them were seriously injured.

Time passed quietly in heaviness.

Jiang Wenting, who was sitting quietly in the first seat, had a solemn look on his usually calm and handsome face.

At this time, Jiang Wenting looked sideways and asked, "An Ran, An Yu, Jun Zichen, Xu Errong, do you four have any ideas?"
