Chapter 72 It’s a Beast Tide!
After Ji Liang finished speaking, he assigned a group of orcs to Gong You to go and investigate, among whom were a dozen orcs who were scouting the location for teleportation.
He assigned tasks to the remaining orcs and was just waiting for Gong You and the others to give him accurate information!
However, he did not let everyone sit idle. While everyone had plenty of spiritual energy, he set up defensive fortifications outside the city first. This was of utmost importance and could not be ignored at any time.
Si Shuo stayed beside the beast statue, guarded by Zhile and Xuchi.
Many orcs who were scouting the area had scoured the forest in the south of the city and directly teleported to investigate the situation. They did not use the time law of Gongyou. In less than half a day, they found the restless beasts running in groups. The scale had already exceeded the small scale and was approaching the medium scale. There were still a steady stream of beasts gathering here! The roar of running was like thunder in the sky, shaking the earth. The beasts rolled in with flying yellow sand.
Immediately, an orc who was timid enough to teleport was frightened and teleported back to the city. He collapsed to the ground with weak legs, and shouted in fear with chattering teeth:
"It's a beast tide. Many ferocious beasts from the southern forest are heading this way... There are so many ferocious beasts, so numerous that they look like a rolling cloud. They are already medium-sized. When they get here, they will definitely crush us to the ground..."
The sharp sound broke the evening peace of Puchang City, and seemed to follow the dusk, casting a layer of terror, panic, fear and a hint of despair on the hearts of the orcs.
But Ji Liang, Si Shuo and the others were still standing quietly on the platform in the square, facing south, waiting.
At this moment, Gong You, who was riding a white-billed eagle and circling in the air, had already aimed at an eighth-level berserk horse and shot at its forehead with a crossbow. The arrow made of energy source penetrated the berserk horse's forehead and exploded. Its body twitched and fell to the ground and disappeared! The system immediately sounded a prompt: Ding Dong, a high-quality gift pack from Gong You's kill has been randomly dropped. Ding Dong... Ding Dong...
There was a ding-dong sound in his mind, and Si Shuo hurriedly turned off the notification sound temporarily. With a slightly curled lip corner, he put his hands together and bowed to the beast statue. Then he sat cross-legged on the ground, and when he touched his hand to the side, he found a piece of well-processed high-quality skin, flesh, tendons and bones and an eighth-level crystal.
She glanced at Shi Fu and the high priest Na Luan who were staring at her with wide eyes, and waved her hand again, adding several more pieces of low-grade and no-grade flesh, tendons, and crystal cores of level four and below.
She didn't need to say anything, as another orc who had teleported to the point brought back a few people.
They were all close confidants of the city lord and the high priest. Their faces were pale, and their bodies were still trembling with fear. They stammered as they reported what they had seen: a tide of beasts had come, and the ferocious beasts that had been hunted by Lord Gongyou had disappeared on the spot.
Shi Fu was completely stunned. His huge body staggered back and he pointed at the things on the table and asked, "Look carefully to see if the bodies of the vanished ferocious beasts are those!"
The orcs looked at each other and nodded in shock.
Ji Liang then asked calmly: "City Lord, do we now have the authority to command the resistance against this beast tide?"
Shi Fu nodded without even thinking, "Yes, yes, yes, you can do whatever you want. As long as you can save Puchang City, I will give you a second-floor shop in Guangshou City!"
Ji Liang did not waste any time and immediately summoned the remaining orcs who were teleporting in the city. He ordered them to transfer the females and cubs while passing on this message to see if there are any orcs willing to participate in the large-scale spring hunting activities, and to call other orcs who were teleporting in the city.
All the defensive fortifications were deployed intensively. Shi Fu, following Ji Liang's instructions, put pressure on the nearby tribes that were affiliated with Puchang City, asking them to participate in building defensive fortifications to fight against the beast tide.
The beast tide is approaching, and its scale is huge, so huge that except for following the teleportation orcs to stay away, the orcs will not be able to escape at all with their escape speed!
Although the orcs in Puchang City were more comfortable, when facing life and death, they were united and strictly obeyed the orders under the leadership of Ji Liang, Zhi Le, Xu Lie, Shi Fu and Na Luan.
Only Xu Chi stayed by Si Shuo's side all the time.
She sat cross-legged in the square, and from time to time threw out a gift package wrapped in animal skins, which were engraved with the animal characters of the owners. This made Luan more convinced that all this was the mercy of the Beast God.
There, the status and prestige of the high priest is far higher than that of the city lord. If he believes it, then the orcs of the entire Puchang City will believe it too!
By the time Si Shuo had filled the entire square with packages, the news that the Beast God was in charge of this large-scale beast tide spread throughout the entire southern continent of the Beast World as the orcs who were scouting the area were busy coming and going.
The orcs worship the Beast God to the extreme. They are willing to go through fire and water, climb mountains of swords and dive into seas of fire, kowtow until death, fly into a flame, rip out their hearts and skin with their bare hands and eat fire... They do this without blinking an eyelid. All kinds of madness cannot express the extremely devout faith in their hearts.
More and more orcs were teleported to Puchang City, busying themselves on various defense lines, squeezing the spiritual power in their bodies, trying not to waste any time and spiritual power before the beast tide arrived!
The orcs with earth-related abilities built a complex maze with directional illusions according to Si Shuo's drawings. The ferocious beasts were just crazy, not stupid. They couldn't really run against the wall when they entered the maze. They would definitely run along the road they found. As long as the passages in the maze were long enough and there were enough exits, the scale of the beast tide could be reduced.
They only needed to reinforce the intersections of the maze and divert the beast tide little by little. There were many traps waiting at each maze exit. After one maze was completed, there was another one. Every bit of energy consumed was a bit of energy! The water-type orcs filled the wide and deep pit dug by the earth-type orcs with water, and sprinkled the water with various toxins caught from the bushes, as well as some strong wild mushrooms. When the beasts passed through, they controlled the water to spray into their mouths and noses. Anyway, the dead beasts would disappear on the spot and were purified by the system.

Not only can the traps be used all the time without worrying about congestion, but the beasts' skin, flesh, and bones will not be damaged! The gold-type orcs nailed long and thick nails coated with venom all over the ground. After all, the ground spikes in Plants vs. Zombies also work well... The wood-type orcs spawned various fire-resistant plants and spread a thick layer on the ground. When the beasts arrived, they would set fire to them and form a wall of fire...
The orcs without special powers also have amazing physical strength. They can cut down trees, dig rocks, make traps, and some of the females who hold on can collect various poisonous plants and mushrooms.
Si Shuo suddenly felt that this was indeed a real tower defense game like Plants vs. Zombies and Radish Defense.
As long as their defensive fortifications are in place, no matter how huge the beast tide is, it can be wiped out!
If you fail in the game, you can still have a chance to start over, but they have no way out.
