Chapter 122: One Step Late, Beast Tide Outbreaks

Chapter 122: One Step Late, Beast Tide Outbreaks

Feng Niang also noticed Lu Ming, and she understood what he meant from his eyes.

Before Lu Ming could ask his question, Feng Niang nodded in confirmation.

"You guessed it right. Helian Ba ​​and his men were the traitors in the army back then. In order to save their own lives, they poisoned 300,000 soldiers."

"It's a pity that they survived the two empires but were cursed by the Earth Demon!"

Ah Le was shocked: "What kind of curse is this? It actually made Helian Ba ​​and the others live for 8000 years."

"This is simply another kind of immortality! Is it true that the crown prince was not confused by anger back then?"

Feng Niang shook her head: "The Crown Prince is naturally not confused. Back then, he paid the price of his life to make the Earth Demon issue the most vicious curse!"

"Helian Ba ​​and his group are cursed and will turn into skeleton monsters at midnight!"

"Immortified in the Soul Burial Field forever, unable to leave."

"Whenever the sun shines on the earth, they will be burned by the fire of hell, and both their bodies and souls will suffer unimaginable pain until they are burned to ashes."

"Then they will rise again from the ashes to continue burning in the fires of hell, and the cycle will repeat."

"In one day, they will repeat the pain of being burned to ashes hundreds of times!"

"Can you imagine, 8000 years, every day without interruption, who can endure this kind of pain?"

"Do Helian Ba ​​and the others really like this kind of eternal life?"

Listening to Feng Niang's explanation, A Le couldn't help but shudder.

"It's too cruel! Not to mention experiencing it myself, just thinking about it makes me feel so miserable. If this is really the case, I'd rather die!"

Lu Ming also nodded in agreement: "8000 years of burning in hellfire is too terrible. If it were me, I would have collapsed long ago."

Feng Niang chuckled and said, "Do you think Helian Ba ​​and the others didn't collapse?"

"They didn't know how many times they broke down and tried all kinds of methods to get rid of this torture."

"For example, they actively attacked passers-by and then let them be killed, or they used treasures to lure others away from the Soul Burial Field. But all of these failed without exception."

"They cannot leave the Soul Burial Ground. Even if they are killed by others, they will be resurrected the next day. No matter what means are used, even if it means their bones are crushed to dust, they will still be resurrected in the Soul Burial Ground."

"They can only continue to suffer the pain of being burned by the fire to atone for their actions in the past!"

…………

After learning the secret about the Soul Burial Bandits, Lu Ming and his companions did not separate from the caravan. Instead, they accepted Feng Niang's invitation and went to Huangsha City with the caravan.

Although it was not as fast as flying, the two were not in a hurry. They just followed the caravan and gained a lot of knowledge along the way.

On the seventh day, the caravan was still half a day's journey from Huangsha City.

But at this time, they met a large number of refugees on the road.

Feng Niang frowned and said, "Go and ask what happened?"

Not long after, the caravan members came running back with panicked looks on their faces.

"Madam, a beast tide has erupted, and now Huangsha City has been surrounded by monsters!"

"what?"

Even Feng Niang, who was used to the ups and downs of life, her face changed.

"How could the beast tide break out so quickly?!"

She said urgently: "Quick, order the caravan to speed up!"

The outbreak of a beast tide is no joke. If it is not handled properly, the city may be destroyed and people may die.

We rode non-stop all the way and shortened the half-day journey to two hours.

Of course, the caravan did not enter Huangsha City. After all, Huangsha City was surrounded by monsters at that time, and they could not get in.

On a hill 10 kilometers southwest of Huangsha City, Feng Niang looked out at the densely packed monsters surrounding Huangsha City with a solemn expression.

"It's still too late."

The subordinates all looked unhappy, and many of them stomped their feet fiercely.

"Didn't they say that the monster tide in the sand region would not break out for another half a month? How come it happened earlier than expected?"

They didn't dare to waste a minute along the way, as they wanted to return to Huangsha City before the monster tide broke out.

They brought powerful weapons such as the Demon-Slaying Crossbow and the Demon-Slaying Cannon into the city to deal with the impending beast tide, but they did not expect that the beast tide would break out ahead of time.

Everyone in the caravan was in a heavy mood and stood there dejectedly.

Feng Niang looked around at everyone and said sternly, "Everyone, cheer up. Although the beast tide broke out early, Huangsha City is still safe. We are not too late."

"Now we have to figure out how to get these armaments into the city!"

"Yes, as long as we find a way to get the military equipment into the city, Huangsha City will be safe!"

Everyone began to brainstorm, trying to find a way to get into the city.

"I've thought of it. Since the ground is not possible, we can use air transport and use the flying life beast to send the general in."

As soon as this was said, someone immediately said, "Please, take a look at those flying monsters around Huangsha City first."

At this time, there were thousands of flying monsters flying around Huangsha City. They launched attacks from time to time, causing great pressure on the defending troops.

Air transport is not an option!

While the caravan outside the city was scratching its head and trying to find a solution, there was also anxiety inside the city.

Back Hall of the City Lord's Mansion

A heroic general walked over quickly.

"Sir, the leaders of all the forces in the city have arrived."

City Lord Li Guang stood up and said, "Let's go."

City Lord's Hall.

Lin Chong, the master of the Fortune Teller Temple, Lu Zhishen, the head of the Mercenary Union, and Wu Song of the Colosseum were all sitting in the hall with serious faces waiting for the city lord.

Monsters are attacking the city, and no one in Huangsha City can stay out of it.

"Tap tap tap...."

Heavy footsteps were heard from the back hall, and several people stood up immediately.

When the city lord Li Guang appeared, everyone immediately bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Lord City Lord."

Li Guang's face was solemn: "Time is pressing, so let's skip these empty formalities."

He looked at the general beside him and said, "General Hua, let me tell you about the situation."

Hua Rong, the commander of the Huangsha City garrison, clasped his fists to the group and said, "Everyone, according to the current intelligence, there are about 180,000 monsters of various types gathered outside Huangshan City."

"We have 10 ordinary defenders and generals. The pressure of defense is enormous, and we need your support."

Lin Chong and the other two immediately stated: "We will definitely participate in the defense with all our strength!"

Li Guang's expression became better after hearing this: "Thank you all for your support. The next defense mission will be commanded by General Hua."

Lu Zhishen, the head of the Mercenary Union, suddenly spoke up: "Lord City Lord, I heard that when the City Lord's Mansion sensed the impending beast tide, the Madam went to the Principality in person to ask for help. I wonder how the situation is going?"

When asked about this, Li Guang's face immediately turned gloomy again: "Feng Niang obtained a large amount of armaments in the principality, including 10 demon-killing crossbows and 100 demon-killing cannons."

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up: "With these armaments, Huangsha City will be safe!"

"Where is the armament?"

Li Guang sighed, "When Feng Niang passed by the Soul Burial Plain, she encountered the Soul Burial Bandits. We don't know whether she is alive or dead."

As soon as these words were spoken, several people's faces suddenly changed and their brows furrowed.

Lin Chong, the master of the Fate Master Temple, said in a serious tone: "Under the current situation, it may be difficult for Huangsha City to stop the monsters from attacking the city. We need to ask for help from the surrounding cities!"

Several people turned their eyes to Li Guang at the same time. Li Guang knew what they meant and said in a deep voice.

"I also want to send someone to ask for help, but the teleportation array of the City Lord's Mansion is broken, so we can't ask for help from the surrounding cities."

Upon hearing that the teleportation array was damaged, the three of them frowned even deeper.

"At the critical moment, the teleportation array had problems. This is too coincidental!"
