Xin Hongyi.
His talent is exceptional even in the Wilderness Realm, but compared to the entire Mortal Realm, it is somewhat insignificant.
When Xin Hongyi suddenly appeared on the Ancient Battlefield, Ye Qiubai and the others were filled with surprise and doubt.
Why would someone with Xin Hongyi's talent and skill level appear in a place like this?
Now, things seem to be getting clearer.
The wind howled, and dust flew everywhere.
They watched as the beast tide swept towards them like a sandstorm, and the faint, elusive aura of evil emanating from it.
Ye Qiubai and the others gradually realized that Xin Hongyi... was actually a remnant of the Evil Devil Domain.
It's unclear whether the other party was already a spy for the Evil Devil Domain before joining the Hidden Dao Academy, or whether they were persuaded by the remnants of the Demon Realm to work for them.
These things are no longer important...
After this matter is settled, we must take Xin Hongyi away and see if we can pry any information out of her!
"So what should we do now?" Fang Qiong asked.
Ye Qiubai thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let's play along and retreat to Fortune Temple Village to defend it."
"This is also a good opportunity to test how much I've actually grown over the past few days."
At this point, Ye Qiubai turned his gaze to Mu Shi.
Since the beast tide is coming, it is natural to have Mu Shi and his men defend the area that the villagers of Fortune Temple Village can see.
Although doing so is a bit too deliberate.
However, quietly making sacrifices behind the scenes usually yields no reward.
Like, how am I supposed to know if you don't tell me?
When we returned to Fortune Temple Village.
A large amount of iron fencing has already been erected around the area! However, there are still gaps in the fencing, clearly because preparations were not yet complete due to the early start date.
Upon seeing Ye Qiubai and his group, the burly man from Fortune Temple Village standing by the fence immediately cried out, "Esteemed immortal masters, please help Fortune Temple Village withstand the beast tide and overcome this crisis!"
Ai Xue then stepped forward and said, "We will naturally help you hold off the beast tide."
Of course, it's the disciples who take action; they only intervene if the disciples are unable to withstand the attack.
Ai Xue looked at the four disciples beside her, including Niu Zhong, Wang Dan... the disciples she had snatched from Mu Wan'er, and the other two men, and said, "Don't embarrass me!"
Niu Zhong, Wang Dan, and the other two all nodded.
Zhang He, the unshaven man beside the taciturn man, asked excitedly, "Master, can I use my full strength?"
The taciturn man transmitted his voice, "Wait for me to nod."
Zhang He nodded.
The beast tide is approaching; it has already crossed the mountainside!
The eerie aura became increasingly pronounced.
Mu Fusheng asked with a smile, "So we're just going to watch from the sidelines? With so many ferocious beasts, will these little guys be up to the task?"
Hong Ying chimed in, "Just watch."
"It seems Second Senior Sister trusts your disciple quite a bit?"
A slight smile played on Hong Ying's lips.
At this moment, a woman shouted, "Everyone, the beast tide is about to arrive, and it's unprecedented in size! Fighting alone is definitely not going to work. Therefore, we must have someone to give orders!"
Mu Shi and the others all looked at the woman. Her black hair was tied up, and she looked dashing in her smart white clothes!
They had met before; she was Xu Meng, a disciple of the Immortal Master Hong Ying.
Knowing that Hong Ying and his master were fellow disciples, he nodded.
However, Ai Xue's four disciples remained unmoved.
Zhang He sneered, " Xu Meng, why should I listen to a woman like you?"
Xu Meng coldly replied, "Of course you don't have to listen; in fact, we don't need you."
It only makes sense to trust obedient soldiers.
Having someone like Zhang He would actually have a negative impact on the entire team!
"You!"
He stopped paying attention to Zhang He.
Xu Meng decisively began issuing orders, "Uncles, stand behind the fence, abandon your spears, and split into two groups to provide ranged support with bows and arrows."
Abandon the spear?
Everyone was taken aback. "That won't do! The stone bows are too weak against these beasts! Besides, the beast tide is huge; these arrows alone won't be enough!"
Xu Meng said decisively, "If we don't have enough arrows, we'll throw spears!"
"The first volley of arrows can be fired once the enemy comes into view."
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances, but since Xu Meng had already become a disciple of the Immortal Master, they had no choice but to believe her.
Xu Meng looked at Mu Shi and the others, and continued to issue orders in an orderly manner, "We will fill in the gaps in the fence, and launch an attack when the beast tide approaches!"
" Xiaoshu, you stay in the rear and refine elixirs, ready to aid the wounded at any time. Pharmacist Wang will assist you from the side."
The decisive voice echoed in the ears of all the villagers in Fortune Temple Village!
The villagers shouted at the top of their lungs, almost like drums being beaten to cheer them on.
Although it wasn't a very sophisticated strategy for defending against the enemy.
However, Xu Meng's composure under pressure and the decisiveness with which he issued orders already showed some resemblance to Hong Ying.
That's right. When Hong Ying was teaching Xu Meng, she not only taught her cultivation, but also how to become an outstanding leader.
Soldiers are easy to find, but generals are hard to come by!
Seeing this, Ai Xue and the taciturn man exchanged a glance, both able to see the gravity in each other's eyes.
If, under Xu Meng's command, they truly succeeded in repelling the beast tide...
Without a doubt.
Xu Meng will become the most prestigious person in Fortune Temple Village!
They will also have an absolute advantage in the subsequent votes!
We can't let her succeed.
Thinking of this, Ai Xue immediately transmitted her voice to Niu Zhong and the other three. "Remember, during this time you cannot use your full strength, and you must secretly release a few ferocious beasts into the enclosure to disrupt the formation!"
Although Niu Zhong and his three companions did not get along with Mu Shi and the others, they were still members of Fortune Temple Village.
He was taken aback when he heard Ai Xue's words.
"Once the formation is disrupted, Xu Meng's command will naturally fall apart as well. Then you can unleash your full power!"
Disrupting Xu Meng's command.
This could also plunge Fortune Temple Village into an even higher level of crisis!
If you then take decisive action, it will be very easy to gain the villagers' approval.
It's better to offer help in times of need than to add to someone's already good fortune!
That's killing two birds with one stone!
Although they didn't understand, Niu Zhong and the other three hesitated for a moment before nodding.
At this moment.
The ferocious beasts at the forefront of the beast tide have already come into view!
Xu Meng looked closely and decisively shouted, "Release!"
The strong men from Fortune Temple Village behind the fence had already drawn their stone bows to their fullest extent, and upon hearing Xu Meng's command, they simultaneously released their grip!
A deluge of arrows shot into the sky!
They fell into the beast tide like a torrential rain of pear blossoms!
boil!
A chorus of screams erupted!
Although they couldn't kill them with a single blow, the beasts at the front were all injured, their speed was affected, or they were temporarily knocked down!
The ferocious beasts that continued to charge from behind trampled them directly.
With so many legs, they could make up for the lack of damage from arrows.
Instantly, all the ferocious beasts in the first row died!
It also slowed down the beasts behind!
Seeing this scene...
The villagers were all stunned.
Then came a thunderous cheer!
"First round: nock the bow and draw the string; second round: finish the job!"
