Chapter 208 - 208 Life and Death

208 Life and Death

Yi Chengrui frowned and mumbled something. The ground was covered with a thin layer of blue crystal, which spread to the surroundings at an extremely fast speed. The others felt that the surrounding temperature had become a little cold.

The ice crystals lowered the brick’s temperature and it was no longer as hot.

“Go!”

As he shouted, countless small water droplets condensed in the air and then divided into countless needles as thin as cow hair. They scattered outside the city wall and quickly pierced into the heads or limbs of those demonic beasts without them knowing it was coming.

The huge fire-breathing demonic beast was no exception. Its body suddenly came to a stop, and countless ice needles appeared on its limbs. Its skin was instantly covered in a layer of ice crystals, and its blood froze, gradually losing its mobility.

The huge body fell to the side, and many demonic beasts suffered. They didn’t have time to escape and were pressed under the body.

Some of the demonic beasts wanted to escape, but because they couldn’t move their legs, there were too many of them. Instead, they tripped themselves or their companions beside them.

This was like a vicious cycle. The demonic beasts inside couldn’t escape, and the demonic beasts at the back were still squeezing forward. In addition, Yi Chengrui and the others’ large-scale attacks killed a large number of them.

In an instant, the ground was covered with the corpses of countless demonic beasts.

When the people on the city wall saw this, they finally heaved a sigh of relief. However, in the next second, their faces suddenly became extremely stiff.

Even though so many demonic beasts had died, the beast horde didn’t show any signs of decreasing. The demonic beasts at the back quickly filled the gap in front, trampling on the corpses of their companions and continuing to launch a new round of attacks.

Soon, the bodies of the demonic beasts were covered up and could not be seen at all. The people on the city wall looked at this scene and fell silent for a while.

Yi Chengrui almost wanted to curse, “Are these demonic beasts crazy? We didn’t even dig up their ancestral grave. Do they have to attack us so desperately?”

The number of demonic beasts was endless, and even if a batch died, there would be another batch to replace them. However, their spiritual powers and numbers were limited, and no matter how much they tried to save, there would be a time when their spiritual powers would be exhausted.

“Hurry up and gather all the useful pills in the city.”

Even if they gathered all the pills, they would not be able to make up for the deficit. No matter how many pills they have, they would not be able to meet the demand, not to mention that they don’t have many pills in stock in the first place.

In the end, all the plants that could recover Qi and blood or spiritual energy were taken out and consumed by everyone.

People with a bit of spiritual power in the city were all gathered by Yi Chengrui to defend against the demonic beast army outside the city wall. But compared to the scale of the beast horde, they were like a praying mantis trying to stop a car.

Yi Chengrui’s face was deathly pale, his forehead condensed with fine beads of sweat, and his lips were bloodless. This was clearly the appearance of him exhausting his spiritual power. The other people’s conditions were similar, not much better.

He used all his strength and once again used a large area attack spell technique, but those demonic beasts seemed to have learned their lesson.

The demonic beasts at the forefront were all existences with skin as hard as copper and bones as hard as iron. Their defensive power was extremely abnormal. When the spiritual power hit them, there was no reaction. Even the demonic beasts at the back no longer crazily pushed forward.

“It must be those high-level demonic beasts.”

Everyone was so angry that they were helpless. To make matters worse, those flying birds and demonic beasts actually gathered at a certain point and madly exerted their strength instead of scattering like before.

The light of the array grew weaker and weaker, and soon a crack appeared on it, spreading out like a spider web.

Yi Chengrui and the others couldn’t help but turn pale with fright. He commanded, “Hurry up and repair the array!”

If they waited for the array to break and these demonic beasts attacked the city, the consequences would be unimaginable. Moreover, their spiritual power was almost exhausted, and they had no spiritual power to retaliate.

Several spiritual lights were injected into the cracks, barely stopping the speed of their spread, but it was only a temporary solution.

Just as everyone was at their wits’ end.

“BOOM!”

It was as if something had broken out of the ground, and many cries of alarm came from behind the city gate.

“What happened?!” Yi Chengrui and the others quickly asked.

He raised his head and looked down, and almost fainted. There were many holes in the ground inside the city wall, and dozens of pangolins crawled out from them.

It was unknown when these pangolins started digging. Although the array could take care of the sky, it could not take care of the underground. The pangolin had actually found a hole.

Everyone was flustered again and had to split some of their attention to deal with these pangolins. Fortunately, although they were good at burrowing and had a certain level of defense, their offensive power was not high.

Otherwise, the city gate would not have been able to hold.

Due to the transfer of some personnel and the crazy attack of the demonic beasts, everyone was already unable to hold on. The spiritual power in their palms flickered and there was no movement at all.

Without the suppression, the cracks began to spread rapidly. A hole had already appeared in the southeast corner, large enough to accommodate petite demonic beasts.

The hole continued to expand, and the light outside the array grew weaker and weaker. Like a candle in the wind, it was in danger of being extinguished at any moment.

The hearts of Yi Chengrui and everyone else had already fallen to the bottom. In less than half an incense’s time, the array would be completely ineffective. At that time, the city wall would no longer be protected, and Changping would become a paradise for these demonic beasts.

“Hurry up and pass down the order. Everyone should hide as much as they can.”

Yi Chengrui sighed faintly.

When the nest was overturned, no eggs would remain intact. If Changping was really broken through, these people who were hiding would probably not have a good ending.

After all, demonic beasts were sensitive to human auras. Moreover, there were also high-level demonic beasts. They would not let go of Changping and the people. Even if these demonic beasts had to dig three feet underground, they would find them.

“You guys should leave as well. Staying here is a meaningless sacrifice.”

Previously, many demonic beasts had died at Yi Chengrui’s hands. Yi Chengrui guessed that the first thing these demonic beasts would do when they rushed in would be to tear him into pieces.

“What about you, City Lord?”

Yi Chengrui’s eyes were firm as if he had already made up his mind to die. He said, “I will live and die with Changping!”
