"What should we do now? Are we just going to sit and wait for death?" It was only a matter of time before the defense line on the city wall fell.
"Retreat? How? If we disperse, these monsters will immediately chase and kill us, which will only make things worse."
There is still a glimmer of hope if we hold on, but once we retreat, the army will be defeated. In the chaos, the advantage of the monsters will be sharply magnified. In this darkness and tide, how can people outrun these monsters that live with water? They will only die more miserably.
The people on the city wall were in panic, gradually becoming desperate in the face of this endless tide of beasts.
"Oh no! That '妴胡' is coming." A cry of surprise erupted from the crowd.
Perhaps there were no more monsters to summon, or perhaps the monster could not bear such slow progress, so it attacked personally and rushed towards the city wall.
The black hooves stepped on the water as if walking on flat ground, or even faster. The white lines in the dark fur formed ghost faces, which were extremely strange. This monster had long horns similar to those of a deer, but looking at the curved and thick appearance, it was a bit like a cow. When it ran, it made a "yuan" sound from its mouth, as if saying its own name, which was terrifying.
Carrying heavy turbid waves, the monster crashed into the city gate tower and knocked over the tower that was level with its body. Stones and wood fell into the waves with a loud crash. Some disciples of nearby factions rushed forward with weapons in hand, ready to fight with the monster, but saw Hu roaring loudly, and colorless sound waves spread, and the nearby people bled to death.
Seeing this, the other personnel could not help but dodge in horror, using long-range weapons to shoot, muskets and sharp arrows flying, but in front of the thick and tough fur, it was just a tickle, and was easily dodged by the monster. Then it jumped up, jumped into the city, and began to rush towards the brightly lit area in the city. It could sense that there were a large number of weak humans gathered there.
When monsters gain intelligence, they become more cruel and difficult to deal with.
Even though people kept shooting and chasing from behind, hoping to divert the attention of the monster, everything seemed in vain. It trampled the ruins-filled streets, knocked down buildings one after another, and continued to approach the city. Screams and sounds of terror were heard one after another in the city, and more people began to panic.
Just as the monster was about to succeed, a blinding flash of lightning suddenly exploded in the night.
“Click—”
Bright yellow lightning shot down from the sky at an angle, striking the monster directly on the forehead, interrupting its steps. Its body trembled, green smoke rose, and a burnt smell filled the air.
"妴——" The monster roared again, then looked around angrily, and then found the figure standing on the tall bell tower in the city.
He is tall and wears a white monk's robe with bright yellow patterns on the corners and sleeves. He wears a vertical crown on his head and holds a square sword in his hand. The blade and hilt are of the same length and can be used for chopping and slashing. It is extremely sharp.
The monk's sleeves fluttered in the flames of the city, his expression was stern, and there was a bright yellow mark between his eyebrows, shaped like a flying flame. When the Hu noticed him, he picked up the bright yellow talisman between his fingers and recited it quickly in front of him.
Then the talisman spontaneously combusted without fire and turned into ashes in the night wind. Not long after, the clouds in the sky stirred, and a flash of lightning struck again, hitting the forehead of the Hu man, bringing up clouds of powder and dust.
"妴——"
Dark red and thick blood flowed from Hu's forehead. His eyes were bloodshot and he ran towards the figure regardless of anything.
After casting two spells, the tall monk stopped and grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands. He suddenly attacked in the night and chopped down the giant monster that was rushing towards him.
In the dim light of the fire, Hu tilted his head to avoid the sword's direct attack and faced the monk with the curved horns on his head. The sword sparked a trembling spark at the black curved horns, and then the sword swung and swung down again, leaving long cuts on Hu's neck and back. Deep blue blood spurted out, and a cold breath overflowed from the wound.
The blood fell onto the ground and into the water, attracting many small monsters nearby to come and suck it. Even bystanders could feel the greed and joy in the monsters' eyes. After absorbing the deep blue blood, these monsters became stronger, which frightened everyone.
The battle continued. The Hu stood on all fours, then raised its left front hoof and stomped down heavily. Countless splashes of water turned into sword blades that protruded from the ground and pierced through the surroundings. Important small monsters died in them, and some nearby city defenders also died unfortunately.
In the Water Wave Sword Forest, the monk holding the special long sword was also slightly injured. There was a big cut on his sleeve, and dark red blood was flowing down from his wrist, dyeing the originally black hilt dark red.
In the subsequent battle, both sides became more cautious. The sword blades flashed like white silk in the dark night, constantly leaving wounds on the body of the Hu. The more injured the Hu was, the more ferocious he became. His deep blue blood turned into sharp swords and arrows, constantly impacting and freezing everything around him. The monk had more and more wounds on his body, and his movements became slower and slower.
At the end, he felt that his body could no longer support the high-intensity movement and slashing, so he had to retreat to avoid the attack of the Hu. He stood on the tall bell tower again, supporting the square sword inserted into the ground with both hands, and breathing heavily.
"Huff, huff." The firelight illuminated the blood and sweat on his forehead, and the wounded Hu in the distance rushed over again.
He raised his head with difficulty, and gripped the hilt of the sword tightly again. The blade swung in the air, and flame-like trails formed synchronously in the night sky above his head.
"The stars in the Western Dipper, the blazing sun and the yellow fire, rise!"
As soon as the words fell, a huge bright yellow magic circle suddenly flashed on the ground where the battle had taken place, and brilliant and scorching flames rose from under the feet of the Hu man and engulfed him.
With a violent and hoarse cry, the monster finally fell down slowly.
