A cry of alarm came from the top of the city wall. A young man suddenly opened his eyes and pushed away a headless corpse in front of him. It was Shen Luo.
"He came back from the dead again. Could it be …"
When he woke up again and saw the hideous face covered in blood for the second time, he was shocked at first. Then he realized that he seemed to have fallen into that dangerous nightmare again.
"Roar …"
A fishy wind suddenly came, accompanied by a sound in his ears. Shen Luo immediately thought of something. His body immediately rolled to the left, just in time to avoid the gray wolf that was pouncing on him.
Before he could get up, he caught a glimpse of a narrow and long saber stained with blood at the base of the city wall not far from him. He took advantage of the opportunity to roll on the ground and grab the handle of the saber, grabbing the saber in his hand.
The gray wolf had missed its target. At this moment, it twisted its waist and turned around. Its hind legs kicked the ground, and it opened its mouth to bite him again.
Shen Luo had killed ghosts with his own hands and had died several times. His courage was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Not only did he not roll to avoid, but he also stared at the gray wolf. When the gray wolf's head was close to the tip of his nose and the disgusting fishy breath hit his face, he suddenly tilted his head, causing the gray wolf to bite empty air.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he held the saber tightly with both hands and suddenly stabbed it diagonally upwards.
There was a "chi" sound.
The long saber directly penetrated the gray wolf's throat and came out from the back of its neck. It also cut a big hole in the gray wolf's body as it pounced on him.
Blood suddenly gushed out from the wolf's neck, splashing half of Shen Luo's face with blood.
Most of the gray wolf's body was heavily pressed on his body. After twitching for a moment, it stopped moving.
Shen Luo exhaled. Half of his body was soaked in the wolf's blood. He pushed the wolf's corpse away with one hand and stood up with the long saber in the other. But before he could stand firm, a man suddenly shouted not far away!
"Be careful!"
At the same time, he felt a cold wind coming from behind. His heart tightened. Before he could react, he heard a "whoosh" sound and something flew close to his ear.
"Pu!"
Shen Luo abruptly turned around and gasped.
He saw a gray wolf lying on a battlement in a twisted posture. It was whining and bleeding from its left eye. It had been pierced through the head by a crossbow arrow that emitted a faint golden light, nailing it to the bricks behind the battlement.
This crossbow arrow was both fast and swift. If not for this, he was afraid that he would not have been able to avoid the sneak attack of the vicious wolf behind him.
The arrow's tail feathers were still trembling, and the faint golden light gradually dissipated, revealing the vermilion arrow shaft, which seemed to be engraved with a golden rune.
He looked in the direction of the previous warning.
More than a hundred feet away, a man with a medium stature and tiger-like eyebrows was fastening a small black crossbow to his waist. The shabby quiver beside him was already empty. It seemed that the arrow he had just shot was the last one.
When the man saw Shen Luo looking at him, he nodded slightly to him. He waved the broad Zhanmadao in his other hand. With a flash of white light, another gray wolf that had attacked him was beheaded. It died on the spot.
The whole process was done in one breath without any delay.
Not far from the man, there were three or four young men in armor. They were holding the same standard Zhanmadao in their hands. They seemed to be his retinue. They surrounded the man, fighting together and guarding against the gray wolves' sneak attack.
It was just that the man with the tiger-like eyebrows was full of murderous intent. He held the Zhanmadao and killed several gray wolves. When the others saw this, they hurriedly waved their Zhanmadao and chased after him. But from time to time, they were entangled by other gray wolves.
Shen Luo withdrew his gaze and stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on his face. After taking a deep breath, he held the Zhanmadao in one hand and walked carefully along the inner wall on one side of the city wall toward the front turret. As a result, before he took a few steps, he saw a head rolling to his feet.
He looked down and saw half of a young man's face on the head. It was full of anger and unwillingness. He could not help but be frightened.
"My son … animal …" A mournful cry sounded.
Shen Luo turned his head and saw a tall old man in his fifties who was fifty feet away. His face was full of grief and indignation. He held a red tasseled spear tightly with both hands and rushed out with a decisive posture. He raised the spearhead and pierced the neck of a gray wolf.
But before he could pull out the spear, another gray wolf rushed up and bit his throat. Then, he knelt on the ground.
When Shen Luo saw this, he quickly rushed forward with his sword in his hand. He wanted to see if he could save the tall old man, but he was stopped by someone. When he looked up, two thick and raised eyebrows came into view.
It was the man with the tiger-like eyebrows who had saved his life.
"It's too late," the man said in a dignified manner.
Before he could finish his words, another grey wolf pounced over and fought with the grey wolf for food. In a short moment, the old man's body was torn into several pieces.
Shen Luo frowned and couldn't bear to look in that direction.
"Little Taoist, is this your first time participating in the city defense?" the man with the tiger-like eyebrows looked around and asked.
Shen Luo didn't know how to answer. He could only give a vague reply. He was wearing the clothes of the Spring and Autumn Temple. Although it was somewhat tattered, it was still recognizable as a Taoist.
"It's your first time dealing with a wolf alone. Not bad. What's your name? If I don't die this time, I'll treat you to a drink. "The man with the tiger-like eyebrows spat out a mouthful of blood and asked.
"Shen Luo."
"Good, Brother Shen! My name is Yu Meng. If you don't mind, you can call me Big Brother Yu. "The man with the tiger-like eyebrows said with a smile.
"Big Brother Yu." Shen Luo didn't hesitate and called out directly.
If it weren't for this man's arrow, he would have died again.
"Good! Later, you will stand behind me and guard against a sneak attack from behind. I will block the front. I guarantee you will have a drink. "Yu Meng laughed loudly.
Shen Luo held the Zhanmadao and stood behind Yu Meng. The two stood back to back and relied on each other. They looked like veterans on the battlefield who fought side by side.
Shen Luo actually wanted to ask where this place was and what was going on with these giant wolves. But, the situation didn't allow him to do so.
Not long after he stood still, Yu Meng raised the Zhanmadao in front of him and stopped a grey wolf.
The grey wolf's sharp claws touched the Zhanmadao's blade and made a sharp screeching sound.
Shen Luo saw this and immediately rushed forward. Holding the Zhanmadao with both hands, he stabbed the Zhanmadao from above Yu Meng's right shoulder and into the grey wolf's left eye. The grey wolf howled in pain and the pressure on Yu Meng suddenly loosened.
Yu Meng was different from Shen Luo. It could be said that he had been through hundreds of battles. How could he miss this opportunity?
He suddenly lowered his body and rushed to the grey wolf in a kneeling position. He raised the Zhanmadao with both hands and swept it upwards. A streak of blood suddenly shot out and the wolf's head was cut off.
Shen Luo was facing the grey wolf and was immediately covered in blood.
"Brother, good job!" Yu Meng climbed out from under the wolf's corpse and praised him with a thumbs up.
Shen Luo was just about to say something when he noticed a commotion not far away.
A huge black wolf suddenly jumped onto the top of the city wall. It turned around and slammed into the gap in the city wall a few times. After forming an even bigger gap of thirty to forty feet, it turned around and pounced down. It only took a few swipes from left to right with its claws to slit the throats of four to five men guarding the city.
Unlike the grey wolves that only knew how to eat flesh and blood, it didn't feast on the corpses. Instead, it swung its claws and sent the corpses flying. It then pounced on a few other strong men.
At this moment, the city wall that was barely in a line was suddenly torn apart. Dozens of grey wolves took the opportunity to rush onto the city wall and join the battle.
The black wolf jumped a few times in the chaos and disappeared without a trace.
The scattered wolves just happened to separate Shen Luo and Yu Meng from the rest of the people.
