Chapter 32: Raging Beast (18)

Remember [Biquge Novel Network] biquge345.com in one second, fast updates, no pop-ups!

It was only afternoon, but the sun was always blocked. The blood moon that should have appeared at night appeared in the sky.
The players initially thought it was just an astronomical wonder, but now they had to hurry up and mobilize all the forces in their respective territories. Those that could be upgraded were upgraded, and those that could not be upgraded were increased in number.
The defense towers that did not need to eat or sleep and stood guard 24 hours a day were simply the favorites of the players. They only needed to be replenished with the corresponding wood or stone.
In the Oak Territory, the five soldiers who were responsible for guarding the house had already been stunned by the solar eclipse, and the appearance of the blood moon cast a shadow on their hearts.
The roars of beasts continued in the distance. The lord and Brook, who had the strongest military power, were not in the territory at the same time. If they encountered a very powerful beast individually, they would have to go forward to resist.
The silkworm baby was trembling with fear and hid under the leaves of the cold spirit fruit tree and dared not come out.
On the contrary, the baby dragon, who was just born one day ago, flapped his small wings and floated in front of the fruit tree. He did not feel the influence of the blood moon at all, and was silently mocking his friends' courage.
Gary, the shield-bearing soldier, had to take the responsibility of the organization. He said to the farmers and blacksmiths, "Since the lord is not here, we must be fully prepared. Everyone must take action to ensure the safety of the territory."
"Joyce, Valen and I will assist in patrolling the eastern wall. Scott, you and Murphy will be responsible for the west. The second-level ice tower in the south should not be a big problem. The main thing is our east and west sides."
"Andre, you, Clay and Jimmy will be responsible for making weapons and arrows, and you will also be the backup force of the territory. Wherever there is a problem, you will go there to help."
"Iron Bull and Iron Pillar, your task is actually the most important. The forest in the northeast corner of the territory can still be cut down. No matter what happens, you must reserve as much wood as possible."
No one knows how long this wave of beast tide will last.
Then Gary can only make the worst plan and hold on until the ammunition and food are exhausted!
The territory does not need ammunition, it only needs to continuously add wood raw materials to each defense tower, otherwise it can only be used as a decoration when the raw materials are used up. Each wooden arrow tower can only store 200 wooden arrows, which seems to be a
lot at first glance. In fact, if you shoot at full speed, you can use them up in less than half an hour. Without the tall man in front, after Gary stood up, the members of the territory seemed to have a backbone. They were no longer panicked, but did their own things in an orderly manner.
After the territory was expanded to the second level, Luo Ling deliberately left a forest within the territory, and did not hesitate to let the farmers cut down trees outside the territory. Even if this would reduce efficiency, some resources should be left for the territory.
In this way, when being besieged, they will not sit and wait for death, but can have a continuous supply of wooden arrows.
"When the lord comes back, I must suggest him to build two trebuchets." Gary said silently in his heart. He was actually very panicked. When making these decisions, he was silently hoping that nothing would happen.
More than 20 people in the Oak Territory quickly gathered together and started to work hard. They all liked this territory from the bottom of their hearts, liked everything here, and did not want to wander in the wilderness again.
The roar of the beasts was getting closer and closer, and those birds with huge wingspans came first.
A majestic black eagle has a wingspan of more than three meters. Its feathers, which were originally as hard as iron, become even harder under the blood moon.
The advantage of birds is that they can skip the surrounding wooden walls and defense towers and directly come to the sky above the territory.
However, their so-called air attacks are relatively primitive. They fold their wings and start diving towards the ground. When they are ready to reach the ground, they will spread their wings and use their sharp claws and beaks to severely damage those buildings or humans.
Flying high can naturally avoid the shooting of wooden arrow towers, but when they start to dive collectively, they naturally come within the range.
The battle started!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, dense wooden arrows actually shot towards the sky inside the territory first.
The leading black eagle was hit by two thick wooden arrows, but the arrows shot on its feathers were bounced off and made a sound of metal hitting stone.
The wooden arrows that could penetrate the wild elephant last night did not break the black eagle's defense. It was just that the huge impact force made it deviate from the target and was knocked back a long way. The diving posture was temporarily suspended and the body lost balance.
"No way? Is this eagle so powerful?" Gary turned his head and said to his two companions, "Quick, quick, go and evacuate Xiu'e and the others, let them hide in the lord's cabin, it's safer there!"
The other birds of prey that followed were obviously not so strong, and were shot through by wooden arrows one after another.
The black eagle had a bad temper. It thought that the attack that was foolproof was interrupted. It spread its wings and tried to stabilize its body and fly again.
But at this time, the crossbow tower attacked.
The sharp arrow head was made of iron with a three-edged blade. The crossbow of the crossbow tower was known as the eight-ox crossbow. It took eight large yellow oxen to pull it open. If humans were to use the crossbow, at least twenty people would be needed to barely pull it open.
Therefore, its attack speed was relatively slow. The wooden arrow tower had already fired a round, and its crossbow arrows were late.
The crossbow arrows shot out with such a powerful force even made a sound of breaking through the air. It happened that the black eagle spread its wings and prepared to fly, exposing its abdomen. Its hardest feathers are actually on both wings. The feathers on its abdomen are hard, but at this moment they are as hard as paper and are pierced instantly!
Not only that, the huge impact force directly caused the nearly two-meter-long arrow shaft to break through the body of the black eagle and nail it directly to the cliff on the north side of the territory.
Gary and other soldiers were dumbfounded. They really didn't expect that the black eagle, who was so arrogant just now, would end his life in this way.
The other stubborn birds of prey were not scared at all, and they continued to dive or try to break through from the front.
An ice arrow exploded in the air, and a group of birds fell to the ground in pieces.
Outside the city wall, two bare sword grasses stood proudly. Whenever a wild beast passed by, they were cut off by it, as if they had their own consciousness and never used a second move.
Whether it was the agile mountain cats and leopards, or the long snakes and pythons covered with hard scales, they could not stop it.
The only thing that could limit them was the lack of space, and more and more corpses blocked and covered them.
The mature snake tongue grass released its poison, and the green poisonous mist enveloped a two-meter radius. Any beast that inhaled the poisonous mist would die before it could run away.
Even the most inconspicuous intoxicating mushroom released countless spores at this time.
The beasts became drunk unconsciously, as if they were drunk, and could not get up to attack at all. They stumbled and staggered, and some even attacked their companions.
The defense towers and special plants inside and outside the territory all showed their magical powers to eliminate the invading beasts.
...
Just as Luo Ling and his group were rushing back to the oak territory along a straight line, his system panel suddenly refreshed a large number of reminders.
Congratulations to the player for killing the level 15 iron-feathered eagle and gaining 150 experience points.
Congratulations to the player for killing a level 7 Sharp-billed Crane and gaining 40 experience points.
Congratulations to the player for killing a level 9 Thunder Eagle and gaining 80 experience points.
There are so many of them that I don't know how many there are.
There was no battle on my side, so the experience points must have come from the territory!
"We have to speed up and can't fight with these beasts. The territory has been attacked now, and the situation may not be good." Luo Ling led the way in front and explained to the others.
Brooke didn't know the current location very well, so he asked, "How far is it from the territory now?"
"About 30 kilometers, maybe another hour."
If it was on the plain, 30 kilometers might take them ten minutes to run at full speed.
But this is a mountainous area, there are no roads, and the terrain is quite complicated. It may appear very close on the map, but in fact it is two mountains. There is no bridge to cross directly, so they can only go up and down the mountain.
If there is only one person, Luo Ling can naturally use the transformation technique to transform into a raven and fly back to the territory to preside over the overall situation. But now there are six underage elves in this group, and they can't just abandon them in the beast tide.
"An hour?" Brooke was shocked. "It's too long. I wonder if the territory can hold on."
"I hope so."
Luo Ling turned his head and looked behind him. He found that Vera, Violet, and Bernie were all exhausted.
Even though the elves have good physical strength, they can't stand such a high-intensity forced march, not to mention carrying another person on their back. But everyone knew that time and situation were very urgent, so they gritted their teeth and persisted without stopping.
Even Luo Ling himself was panting heavily and needed to rest and adjust. He said, "Let's take a three-minute break."
"No need to rest, I'm not tired at all!" Violet said stubbornly, even though he was sweating profusely and his long hair was soaked. He looked so embarrassed that he didn't look like an elf at all. "
Forget it if you don't want to rest. Let's sit down and drink some water. Then I'll carry Edith."
Brooke knew that there would be a fierce battle when he returned to the territory later. If he used up all his physical strength now, how would he break through?
It was necessary to save these three minutes to rest.
"Since you are all sitting down, I will take a break as well."
Violet put Edith down from her back and sat on the ground without caring about her image. She looked like she was already at the end of her strength. What she had just done was just the pride of a young man.
Edith, Emilia, and Rodney were very sensible. They did not cry or make a fuss along the way. Even when their faces and arms were cut by branches or thorns, they did not speak.
Vera broke the silence and said, "I just heard that you have a territory in the Duskwood. Is that true?"
She was really curious. This place has always been the sphere of influence of the high elves. When did humans have a territory in it? The elves would not do that.
"Yes, there is a small territory." Luo Ling admitted frankly. Anyway, he would see it in a moment, so there was no point in hiding it.
"I have no ill intentions, but this may conflict with our elves." Vera said, "The people in the guards and patrols may use violence against you."
The territory issue does not allow for the slightest fluke.
"Don't worry about this for now. The person who sent me the proof of territory development must have thought of all this."
However, Luo Ling felt that things were not that simple. The people in the Elf King's Court could not have been unaware of the sudden increase in the number of humans and corresponding territories in the forest.
There were 50,000 people in the regional channel where he was, and this was obviously just one area of ​​the Dusk Forest. There were many other areas and lords.
It was impossible to hide so many traces of human activities. Even no one thought of hiding it at first. The movement was very loud.
If the patrols and guards of the elves could not find this, they could really retire and go home.
If they wanted to take action, they would have cleared all the territories long ago. It was impossible to allow so many humans to survive in the forest.
According to Luo Ling's guess, the local forces on this continent chose to wait and see for some reason. Only a small number of races like trolls attacked the player's territory, and even the trolls followed the beast tide to attack the valley territory.
There must be restrictions in the dark, maybe it's the game system that's playing tricks.
Now his level is still relatively low, and he can't touch such high-level things. He thought Brook was a member of the local forces, but who would have thought that more than a hundred years have passed since his time.
While talking, Luo Ling's aura suddenly became much stronger.
The experience points of the monsters killed in the territory allowed him to reach level 11!
The energy and physical strength that were originally consumed have been restored to their peak state, not to mention the health and magic points. Upgrading is the best treatment medicine. Many players are reluctant to take medicine in the early stage and rely on upgrading to heal all injuries.
Vera looked at the human in front of her curiously. How could he break through while sitting in the same place? Could he be the darling of nature?
Luo Ling patted his head and was very annoyed.
His thinking has not yet completely changed. There is a high-level magician next to him, but he doesn't know how to borrow her ability. He looked at Vera expectantly and asked, "Vera, do you know wind spells? Can you give us a spell that increases our speed?"
Elf magic is supposed to be usable in all systems. The elves are very good at spells of various elements. The wind element is even the standard for rangers. The leader of the rangers is called the Wind Walker.
"I am lazy in learning magic. I only know the two most basic skills, Wind Blade and Wind Wall. I haven't learned Wind Walking and more advanced flying skills yet." When
you need to learn, you will regret not having enough knowledge. Vera only hates that she has liked to read some travel notes, historical books, biographies, etc. for so many years, but she didn't practice well.
Now she has magic power, but she can't use it.
"I have relevant information about Wind Walking. You can see if you can learn it." Luo Ling took out a jade-like leaf from the space package. The leaf recorded the casting template and tricks of Wind Walking in Elf words.
These were found in the village chief's secret room. They can be regarded as the inheritance items of the elves. There are about thirty leaves.
Luo Ling could understand the Elven language, but he couldn't learn it. This was not a skill scroll that players could use directly. So he took it out to see if Vera could learn it, otherwise it would be wasted.
Everyone knew the origin of the leaf, and no one was stupid enough to ask.
Vera took the leaf, quickly glanced at it twice, and then began to experiment.
As a high-level magician, it was very easy to cast this elementary spell. As long as you understand the principle, you can just follow the instructions.
Suddenly, a breeze blew over Luo Ling and the others. Vera said happily, "I learned it!"
Luo Ling suddenly felt that his body had become much lighter. He could walk a long way with a light step. Not only did his moving speed increase, but his burden also decreased.
"It's just right to rest for a while. With the Wind Walk spell, let's set off quickly."
"Let's go!"
"This auxiliary magic is really good. Maybe we can arrive in less than half an hour."
Luo Ling was eager to go home. After carrying Edith on his back, he still rushed to the front. In order not to attract the attack of the beasts, he did not hesitate to use magic power to cast an Oak Heart skill on everyone.
Let everyone become a plant in the eyes of the beasts, except that these plants can move.
At the same time, the reminders on the game system panel continued to appear, proving that the territory was still under siege, and these hunted animals had also changed. It
was no longer dominated by ordinary beasts below level 10, but generally by the primary magic beasts of level 1020 or the beasts that were about to become magic beasts.
Originally, there were only 10 wooden arrow towers in the territory, but Luo Ling had a fear of insufficient firepower. He would build them when the basic resources were slightly more abundant, and upgrade them when there was a surplus.
Therefore, there are now 3 second-level wooden arrow towers in the Oak Territory, and there are also crossbow towers and turrets.
"It just so happens that there are second-level water crystals under the cold spring. After returning, we will build two more second-level ice towers. This money cannot be saved."
"Also try to upgrade to a third-level territory as a goal."
No one had time to chat along the way. Luo Ling was busy thinking at the same time.
Finally, he saw the stream he was most familiar with, and he could see the lighthouse in the territory!
The smell of blood was wafting in his nose, and the whole stream was dyed blood red. With the blood moon shining in the sky, it looked extremely weird.
The six elves frowned, and several little guys even covered their mouths and noses with their hands. A
steady stream of wild beasts were attracted from all directions, and all kinds of roars resounded through the sky. The Oak Territory seemed to have turned into a meat grinder, leaving these wild beasts behind.
The closer they got to the territory, the denser the beasts became.
Luo Ling and his group had to stop by the stream to discuss strategies. It would be difficult to get in by camouflage.
"Let's just charge in!" Violet pulled the bow and put three arrows on it, looking like she was ready to fight.
Brooke shook his head and said, "The beasts ahead are too dense. If we rush in rashly, we might be hurt by the arrow tower."
The power of the second-level arrow tower and crossbow tower is extraordinary. When the whooshing sound of breaking through the air is heard, one or more beasts will always be killed.
If they break through the beast team, it is inevitable that they will be injured by mistake.
Unless Luo Ling uses the lord's ability to stop them from attacking, but that will give the beasts an opportunity to take advantage of it. Maybe in just a few moments, the beasts will break through the city wall.
Luo Ling looked at the cliff behind the territory, pointed to the northeast and said, "Let's go over there where there are fewer beasts and climb over the wall."
The Oak Territory covers a large area. The frenzied beasts are not really surrounded, but concentrated in the three directions of the east, south and west. The number of beasts in each place is different.
Since no one collects or decomposes the bodies, small hills have been piled up outside the wooden wall. Many beasts step on the bodies of their companions and charge towards the territory.
Many wooden walls have already encountered their impact, but fortunately, the quality is strong and completely blocked!
The northeast corner is relatively remote, with only a forest. There are few invading beasts and few bodies.
At this time, a silver-backed wolf was approaching the wooden wall cautiously, but the flying wooden arrows made it flee instantly. The silver-backed wolf moves very fast, always able to avoid the shooting of wooden arrows, and constantly approach the wall.
Seeing this, Luo Ling directly used the skill of vine entanglement.
A green vine suddenly emerged from the ground, growing wildly and then entangled the silver-backed wolf's hind legs!
The silverback wolf, who was about to dodge the wooden arrow, froze in its tracks, entangled by vines and unable to dodge.
Congratulations to the player for killing the level 18 silverback wolf and gaining 160 experience points.
Luo Ling had no time to collect the body of the silverback wolf, so he brought the elves and Brooke to the bottom of the wooden wall. With the help of the wind walk spell, they easily crossed the wall and returned to the territory.
"Brooke, take them to the cabin to rest first, and then come to the gate for support. I'll go to the gate first, it looks like there's a lot of commotion over there."
"Yes, sir!"
Vera took the initiative and said, "We'll go to the front line with you, Brooke, you just take Emilia and the other three to a safe place."
Since the territory was in danger, she had no choice but to help as a guest.
Violet had the same reaction, "Yes, we're actually very powerful and can definitely help you."
Bernie, who had a very weak presence, also took out his weapon to agree.
Since these people have volunteered, Luo Ling just gave them a chance to increase their favorability and integrate into the territory, "Okay, let's go."
With the help of the elf ranger and the magician, it would be easier to kill the beast.
The four of them ran out of the woods and found Tie Niu, Tie Zhu, Da Bao and others were cutting down trees quickly, which scared the lumberjacks.
"Who!"
"Who are you!"
The axes and saws in their hands stopped.
After seeing Luo Ling's face clearly, Tie Niu was so excited that he almost cried!
"Lord!"
"It's the Lord who is back! Our territory is finally saved!"
"Oh my God, Lord, you are finally back. The territory has been surrounded for a long time, and there have been several times when it was almost rushed in by powerful beasts."
A territory without a lord is a body without a soul. Even with many defense towers to maintain the work, the residents are still very scared and desperate.
Now that Luo Ling is back, they are immediately relieved, thinking that the beasts outside are just food sent.
"Yes, I'm back. You guys keep chopping trees. I'm going to the front. We'll talk later if you have anything to say."
As he was speaking, the blood moon in the sky gradually disappeared, the total solar eclipse that had reached its full state began to fade, and a corner of the sun slowly appeared.
However, this did not mean that the beasts left, but instead made them fall into an even more violent state!
Luo Ling even saw a golden lion with its mane standing upright, its eyes turned blood red, and it opened its eyes and bit the top of the wooden wall without caring about any obstacles in front of it.
The lion bit the wall with its bloody mouth and scratched it with its front paws, as if it could not feel any pain. Wood chips flew everywhere!
Although the wooden arrow had passed through its abdomen, the lion still used the last bit of its strength to destroy the wall.
"Get out of here!"
Luo Ling said without hesitation. He gathered the wrath of Apollo and threw it forward, blowing the lion off the wall.
