Jing Heng's family was very kind and told Mu Chuyue that she could stay until she recovered before leaving.
She stayed at Jing Heng's house, not knowing what to do next.
Regardless of whether this is the time and space of six hundred years ago, Mu Chuyue doesn't know how to go back, nor does she understand why [Phoenix Tail Feather] brought her here, and she is at a loss.
The Jing Heng here, still a young man called Jing Erliang, also seemed to know nothing.
Mu Liuyue secretly tested him several times and found out that he was just an ordinary teenager living here.
In this era, there is no method of artificially intervening in awakening. Awakening on his own at the age of fifteen to become a beastmaster can be considered a gifted person.
Jing Heng's family also valued their son's talent. After he awakened, the whole family contracted a high-quality pet for him.
At this time, Jing Heng was practicing boxing with his initial contracted pet, the [Iron-eating Beast], a medium-level warrior species of the steel and wood types.
The black and white little beast is very cute. At this stage, it still has a round body and short limbs. It imitates the movements of the beastmaster, punching forward, spinning around, gathering strength, lifting one leg, and posing as a golden rooster.
Then he lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud.
Mu Huiyue couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips. This young iron-eating beast would be one of King Xia Jingheng's representative contracted war pets in the future, and would eventually evolve into the [Magic Martial God] of the miraculous fantasy race.
I don’t know what kind of adventures it experienced with the beastmaster to evolve from such a small iron-eating beast into a miraculous fantasy race.
The young man Jing Heng stopped what he was doing, looked at the black-haired girl sitting on the steps, and said, "You finally stopped sighing."
"My mother said that young girls should smile more. Sighing all the time will make you age faster."
Mu Chuyue raised her eyebrows. Jing Heng himself was only a little boy of fifteen or sixteen years old now. How could he have the right to persuade an adult "little girl" like her?
She raised her head and saw that the little iron beast had patted his butt and stood up, continuing to practice the boxing moves in a methodical manner.
There was a slight sound outside the door, and a boy about the same age as Jing Heng slipped into Jing Heng's house with a contracted pet that looked like a gray falcon. His movements were extremely skillful, and it seemed that he was a frequent visitor who did this.
When the other person came in and saw Mu Chuyue, he was stunned for a moment, then he understood.
"Erliang, you brought back some weird people again."
The young man half complained as he came over and bumped fists with Jing Heng's iron-eating beast, showing that they had a very good relationship.
He didn't know Mu Chuyue, but Mu Chuyue knew him. The gray falcon pet was a member of the wind-type intermediate warrior race [Fierce Feather Eagle], the final evolution of the high-level emperor race. It was on the verge of extinction six hundred years in the future, and it was rare to see a beastmaster who had a contract with it.
He was a classmate of King Jing Heng of Xia and the future cavalry general of the Yuan Dynasty, Wan Tiandong.
This beastmaster who awakened at the same time as Jing Heng is also a legendary figure in the history of Dayan. He is Jing Heng's most trusted right-hand man and the mainstay in leading the army to resist foreign enemies during the beast chaos and natural disasters.
In the later period of his reign, King Jing Heng of Xia was obsessed with the path to immortality and used the whole country's strength to seek elixirs and magical beasts. It was General Wan Tiandong who first stood up and took the lead in overthrowing the brutal rule of his old friend and supporting Jing Heng's blood relative to become the successor.
No matter what the future holds, for now they are just carefree teenagers.
Wan Tiandong came to look for Jing Erliang today because Lieyuying discovered some abnormalities during his daily patrol training.
Their village is located in a remote area, and apart from the landlords and farmhands who come to collect rent and grain, few outsiders come in. However, in recent days, the official road outside the village has seen frequent appearances of people fleeing with their families.
Those people seemed to have come from the direction of the capital city. Everyone looked terrified, and no one knew what they were afraid of.
Wan Tiandong suspected that something had happened in Dadu City, but he couldn't get any definite information. He just hoped that it would not affect the stability of the village.
While the two were talking, a heavy flapping sound was heard in the sky. It was the sound of a giant bird-like creature hovering in the air.
Mu Huoyue walked out of the room with the two young men and came to the open space in the center of the village.
There was a huge red-feathered eagle circling in the sky. The pattern of its feathers looked familiar. Mu Chuyue's eyebrows jumped, and then he saw a familiar figure rolling down from the back of the red-feathered eagle.
"Xiang Xun...?" she asked in disbelief.
The other party was also surprised when he saw her, and walked towards her in two steps, "Hiiragi? Why are you here..."
Xiang Xun calmed himself down. It was a good thing to see Mu Liuyue here, but he had more urgent things to do right now.
To Mu Huoyue's surprise, Xiang Xun appeared as a messenger from the capital city and brought a sensational news.
The special wave of strange beasts that appeared not long ago has defeated the guards of the capital city, and unknown pollution is spreading everywhere. The destruction of the capital city is only a matter of time.
Before facing the last wave of attacks, the capital city closed its gates and sent out all messengers to pass the news to the surrounding areas, allowing residents of villages and towns that had not yet been affected to evacuate as quickly as possible.
The whole village fell into panic because of the messenger's news. Xiang Xun found Mu Liuyue in the chaos and had the opportunity to communicate with her.
The two exchanged brief information. In the sacrificial hall of Phoenix Mountain, the connection point of the secret realm suspected to be the "Outer Star Sea" expanded into a star spiral, drawing in several people present at the time.
Xiang Xun has been here for a month, working as a messenger for the capital city with the help of Akabane Ying, until today when he met Mu Shuyue in an unknown small village.
Xiang Xun was not surprised to learn that Mu Chuyue had just woken up for less than a day.
Compared to the shock of going back to Dayan six hundred years ago, the time dislocation between the two is completely understandable.
"I want to correct one thing. This is not some unknown little village." Mu Liuyue raised her chin and motioned Xiang Xun to look ahead.
Jing Erliang and Wan Tiandong were walking towards the village chief's house, apparently wanting to discuss the next arrangements.
Xiang Xun widened his eyes slightly, "...Is that Jing Heng? Jing Heng when he was young?"
"And General Wan when he was young." Mu Liuyue nodded.
"Now I know exactly which time period we have traveled to. The special alien beast tide you mentioned is the [Pollution Alien Beast] caused by the Star Evil, right?"
Xiang Xun nodded. The tide of strange beasts appeared about ten days ago. He speculated that it was the first arrival of the "Outer Star Sea".
Unfortunately, the technology of this era is limited, and there is no organization like the Secret Realm Affairs Countermeasures Bureau that can determine the specific location coordinates of the secret realm.
"In this case... emergency evacuation is not an appropriate option." Mu Liuyue's eyes darkened.
"The area around the village is all wilderness, with no obstacles. With the speed of the polluted beasts, the beastmaster may still have a chance of survival, but ordinary people will be caught up soon. No matter where they evacuate, they will die."
Xiang Xun was silent for a while and understood what she meant.
"But if we strengthen the village's defenses and hold on using the terrain, we'll have a better chance of escaping this wave of monsters, right?"
"I have seen the nearby terrain on the back of the Red Feather Eagle. This place is not a main road, and there is nothing that can attract polluted beasts. It will not be affected by the main beast tide. As long as we can survive the first few nights..."
Mu Yuyue nodded, "Although we don't know how we can go back yet...but since we have come to this era, we can't let Jing Heng and General Wan die at this time, right?"
Hearing this, Xiang Xun couldn't help but smile, and subconsciously pulled up the non-existent scarf, "Let's go and ask the village chief for advice."
Jing Heng and his companions who went to see the village chief first, as well as some villagers who had awakened to become beastmasters and had certain experience and experience, all believed that they should not flee the village at this time.
Leaving rashly would only disperse the village's original combat power, and the beastmasters and contracted pets fighting in the wilderness would have no advantage.
Everyone unanimously decided to hold on to the village, reinforce the outer defenses, assign combat-capable beastmasters to various checkpoints, and do their best to protect the safety of ordinary people inside.
Mu Huoyue also joined the escort team. In the words of Jing Heng's mother, this was a reward for the help she had received before.
As night fell, a hoarse wolf howl tore through the tranquility of the wilderness.
The first to appear were the high-level elite race living nearby, the Steppe Wolves.
They came rushing in groups, and each wolf had ink blobs of varying sizes on its body, and the eroded parts looked as if they had been smeared away by an invisible hand.
Xiang Xun, who was flying in the air, sent back the signal of the alien beast's attack in advance.
The battle to defend the village officially begins tonight.
Mu Huoyue was assigned to the outermost checkpoint. Even the village chief was surprised when he learned that she was a fifth-class beastmaster with a monarch race and a mature pet.
In an era when the number of Beast Tamers could only be determined by self-awakening, a fifth-class Beast Tamer was already strong enough to serve as the captain of the city defense army.
The outer checkpoint is also the location most vulnerable to attacks by strange beasts and is the first line of defense to protect the village.
In the starless and moonless night, the night demon scarecrow stood at the pass, swaying his body gently with the night wind, making a calming rustling sound.
Mu Huoyue stood beside Harvey, and on the other side of her was the Frost Night Fighting Wolf, whose whole body seemed to be bathed in moonlight.
"White Fang, echo with Midnight."
The Frost Night Fighting Wolf raised its head and let out a long howl, which drowned out the roar of the polluted wasteland wolves.
The skill containing deterrent energy suddenly spread out, increasing the concentration of dark energy within a radius. Not only White Fang himself, but also the Night Demon Scarecrow and the Card Fang soldiers in the shadows received a certain degree of benefit.
However, those polluted beasts of lower racial levels were not affected by [Deterrence]. The pollution of Star Evil completely changed their mental consciousness structure. Except for specific targets, they would no longer be afraid of any external forces.
A large number of contaminated prairie wolves rushed towards the village. At the same time, many contaminated beasts flying in the air tried to directly cross the ground barrier.
"Xavi, what a malicious sarcasm!" said Mu Huoyue.
The Night Demon Scarecrow fully utilized the advantages of the crowd control skills. The crow on its arm made a shrill cry, and all the polluted beasts in the area looked at it for a moment with angry and furious expressions.
Whether flying in the sky or running on the ground, countless polluted beasts simultaneously attacked the scarecrow that was emitting strange noises.
This was exactly one of Mu Huoyue's battle plans. Harvey's [Malicious Taunt] guarded the first checkpoint, and no polluted beasts could cross it and rush into the village.
"White Fang, Eclipse Shock!"
