Chapter 62: Visitors on the City Wall

Donghai City, North City Wall.

The steel-poured city wall was like a black mountain range spanning across heaven and earth, cold and silent.

On top of the city wall, a ferocious Magical Cannon was erected every hundred meters.

The muzzle was deep, and the magic crystal core inside was emitting a dangerous energy glow, ready to spit out destructive beams at any time.

Nearly a thousand City Guards wearing uniform standard armor, holding long spears and heavy shields, arranged themselves into a grim phalanx.

Their breathing was heavy, their eyes were sharp, staring fixedly at the distant horizon.

Behind them were Professionals from the major guilds of Donghai City.

They either stood in groups of three or five, or stood solemnly alone, with various professional radiances flowing on their bodies. They were the backbone of this city against the beast tide.

Every time a beast tide struck, it was a catastrophe concerning the life and death of everyone.

Guilds and Family were as closely related as lips and teeth, and there was no other choice.

However, time passed minute by minute.

The early warning signal had long been sounded, but the world-destroying beast tide that was anticipated had not appeared for a long time.

An anxious and uneasy atmosphere permeated the air.

"What is going on?"

"Logically speaking, it should have arrived long ago."

City Guard commander Zhang Chiming, a middle-aged man with a resolute face, frowned into a knot.

He turned around and looked at a neatly dressed man in black with a calm demeanor beside him, his tone carrying a hint of seeking instructions.

"Chairman Sun, look…"

The man called Chairman Sun was in his early forties, with an elegant face, but his temples were already slightly frosted.

With his hands behind his back, he stood on the city head, looking calmly into the distance, as if everything before him could not move him.

Hearing Zhang Chiming's question, he spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but clearly transmitted into everyone's ears.

"Li Qiu."

As soon as the words fell, a figure quickly stepped out of the crowd.

He had a straight figure and wore a black outfit convenient for movement. He was precisely the mysterious powerhouse who once drove the Silver Dragon and "killed" Yasuo.

At this moment, this big shot, who was unfathomable in the eyes of outsiders, appeared extremely respectful standing in front of Chairman Sun.

"Boss, any orders?"

Chairman Sun's gaze was still looking into the distance, and he said indifferently: "Go and see what the situation of the beast tide is."

Li Qiu did not hesitate at all and replied neatly: "Yes."

He turned around and strode towards the edge of the city wall.

Amidst the surprised gazes of the crowd, he raised his right hand, and an archaic Silver Dragon-shaped rune emerged in his palm, its brilliance flaring instantly.

"Roar——!"

A high-pitched and resonant dragon roar seemed to come from above the Nine Heavens, shaking the entire city wall with a hum.

The space in front of Li Qiu was torn apart by an invisible force, and a huge spatial crack opened out of thin air.

A ferocious dragon head covered in shiny silver scales took the lead in reaching out from the crack, and those molten gold-like dragon pupils indifferently scanned the people below.

How could the guards on the city wall have ever seen such a sight? Each of them turned pale with fright and subconsciously took half a step back.

Li Qiu's toes tapped lightly on the battlement, his figure floating up like a goose feather, and he landed steadily on the wide back of the Silver Dragon.

He was about to command the giant dragon to spread its wings and fly high.

Just at this moment.

Rumble——!

The earth began to tremble violently.

The dull, thunder-like roaring sound came from far to near, sweeping forward mightily.

Everyone's heart instantly leaped to their throats.

"Here they come!" Zhang Chiming shouted sternly.

The atmosphere on the city wall instantly froze, and a murderous aura soared into the sky.

Standing on the dragon's back, Li Qiu looked down from above, an excited arc curling up at the corner of his mouth.

However, the next second, the expression on his face froze slightly.

He saw it.

In front of that sweeping black torrent, there were actually two tiny figures fleeing frantically.

One blue and one white, their speed was astonishingly fast.

"Heh." Li Qiu couldn't help chuckling.

"These two unlucky bastards were actually chased by the beast tide all the way and still aren't dead."

"I don't know whether it's luck or misfortune."

Before the words fell, above the beast tide, that cyan Sky Storm Falcon let out an angry cry and suddenly accelerated.

It had obviously lost its patience and was ready to completely crush the two annoying ants below first.

Terrifying wind element energy gathered in its mouth.

However, the moment it was about to release its skill.

"Roar!"

The Silver Dragon beneath Li Qiu let out a majestic roar, its huge body turning into a silver lightning bolt, instantly spanning across the attack path of the Sky Storm Falcon.

Li Qiu licked his lips, grinned widely, and Battle Intent surged in his eyes.

"Hey, big bird."

"Next, your opponent is me!"

…

Below.

Through Gandalf's perspective, Zhou Huai clearly saw this scene.

His heart skipped a beat.

That Silver Dragon, it was that man!

There was no mistake!

He was the dragon-riding big shot who "killed" Yasuo a few days ago!

Why would he be here?

He killed himself a few days ago, but today he saved himself instead.

It was somewhat dramatic.

On second thought, Zhou Huai thought of another problem.

Yasuo must not be recognized by him.

He immediately gave an order.

The majestic Thunder Armor on Yasuo's body instantly turned into specks of electric light, dissipating into invisibility.

If he were to discover that Yasuo, whom he had blasted into ashes in a second, appeared alive and well…

Heaven knows what kind of trouble it would bring.

He currently did not have the strength to contend with such a big shot.

Above the high wall, as the beast tide army entered range.

Hum——!

The core magic crystals of each Magical Cannon were completely activated, and dazzling light gathered at the muzzle.

The next second, dozens of thick energy beams, carrying the aura of destroying everything, tore through the sky and violently smashed into the beast herd below.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The violent explosions connected into one piece.

Every beam that landed would clear out a huge fan-shaped area in the beast herd.

Countless exotic beasts were instantly torn into pieces by the energy torrent, not even having time to let out a scream.

The violent energy impact finally shifted the target of the beast tide from Yasuo and Gandalf to that huge city wall exuding an aura of death.

"Roar——!"

Deep within the beast tide, a giant beast the size of a mountain let out a heaven-shaking roar.

The Donghai City defense battle officially broke out!

In the sky, Li Qiu's Silver Dragon and the Sky Storm Falcon had already engaged in fierce combat, Dragon Breath and wind blades crisscrossing, and the terrifying energy fluctuations made the clouds surge.

The remaining flying exotic beasts, like dark clouds, attempted to cross the high wall and rush directly into the city.

But just the moment they were about to fly over the city head.

Hum!

A huge translucent light curtain suddenly emerged.

That was a defensive Formation jointly built by dozens of Formation Masters in Donghai City.

On the wall of the city wall, countless profound Formation patterns were lit up, shining brilliantly, shrouding the entire Donghai City within, impregnable.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One flying exotic beast after another violently crashed into the light curtain, getting bounced back dizzy.

On the ground, several huge BOSS-level exotic beasts took the lead, roaring as they rushed towards the city wall, crazily bombarding the defensive light curtain with their huge bodies and violent skills.

Ripples constantly appeared on the light curtain, but it remained firm throughout.

"Attack!"

Zhang Chiming pulled out the long sword at his waist, sounding the horn of attack.

Above the city wall, arrows fell like rain, and magic poured like a waterfall.

Relying on the continuous bombardment of the Magical Cannon and the protection of the defensive Formation, the defenders frantically poured firepower downwards, slaughtering the exotic beast army.

For a time, they were actually fighting back and forth evenly.

However, just when everyone thought the situation would temporarily stabilize.

A sudden change occurred!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The soil below the city wall split open without warning.

Countless dark green vines as thick as bowls actually crossed the defensive Formation directly from underground and penetrated in.

Burrowing out of the ground like poisonous snakes, they crazily spread upwards along the towering wall at an unimaginable speed.

They were like living things, accurately avoiding the defenders' attacks, and clearly targeted those continuously firing Magical Cannons.

"Not good! Protect the Magical Cannons!" Zhang Chiming's expression changed drastically, and he shouted sternly.

But it was all too late.

The front ends of the vines suddenly stretched out knife-sharp spikes.

Stab! Stab! Stab!

The spikes accurately pierced into the core magic crystals of the Magical Cannons.

Accompanied by a series of crisp shattering sounds, the energy light at the muzzles of several Magical Cannons quickly dimmed, completely silencing them.

The remaining vines did not stay idle either. Like wildly dancing tentacles, they began to launch indiscriminate attacks on the City Guards on the city wall.

Screams rang out instantly.

Losing the firepower suppression of the Magical Cannons, the pressure on the exotic beast army below suddenly decreased.

The situation instantly reversed.
