"Dragon Dancing Lanterns?"
The lizard water demon's vision was very weak. Zhu Minglang was very clear about this.
If the Lizard Monsters wandered around the city and saw the Dragon Dancing Lanterns, they would most likely assume that a real dragon was protecting the village or town. They would not dare to come any closer.
That being said, the Dragon Dancing Lanterns were only effective against the Lizard Monsters that were less than five hundred years old. The Lizard Monsters would most likely realize that the Dragon Dancing Lanterns were just a disguise when they fought against the humans.
However, the Lizard Monsters that were less than five hundred years old were the real threat to the civilians. They would sneak into ponds, hide in reeds, or even sneak into barns. When the civilians woke up at night to check what was going on, the Lizard Monsters would swallow them whole.
Therefore, the Dragon Dancing Lanterns were quite useful. At the very least, it could reduce the pressure on the guards.
Wiping out a huge group of Lizard Monsters and defending a city against a huge group of Lizard Monsters were two different things.
The Lizard Monsters would know that a powerful Dragon Shepard was stationed at the city gate. They might go around the city and split up to ambush the city, which was made up of a few towns.
Zhu Minglang could not split himself into two, so he could only guard a certain area. As for the Lizard Monsters that sneaked into the city through strange means, Zhu Minglang had no way of dealing with them. Therefore, it was very important to keep the residents safe.
No matter how weak the guards were, they could at least tell Dragon Shepard where the Lizard Monsters were. Otherwise, the Lizard Monsters could easily sneak into ponds, bushes, or barns in the dark. It would be meaningless even if they were a few levels stronger than the guards.
"Go find some reliable people and organize them to light up the Dragon Dancing Lanterns. Tell them that the Dragon Training Academy is here. Don't panic, and don't leave the city!" Zhu Minglang said to Chen Bai.
Zhu Minglang did not expect the Yan Tribe to kill the guards.
Besides, Zhu Minglang happened to go into a shop to buy some medicine when they were killing the guards.
When they came out, the Yan Tribe had already killed the guards and left.
Otherwise, when Zhu Minglang saw this scene, he would definitely stop it.
How could they leave a city unguarded? Those guys didn't realize that the lizard water demons were eyeing Yellow Leaf City covetously.
What a bunch of deranged rulers. Once the matter of Yellow Leaf City was settled, Zhu Minglang would definitely find that whip-wielding Yan He to settle the score!
…
"Little Qing Zhuo, go to the sky and find the Devil Spirit-level Water Lizard Demon and kill it." Zhu Minglang summoned the Azure Luan and Azure Dragon.
The Azure Luan and Azure Dragon flapped their wings and soared into the sky. Their azure feathers were dazzling and brilliant in the night.
Unfortunately, Cang Luan and Qing Long's cultivation had not reached the Monarch Rank. Otherwise, their Monarch Rank Dragon Aura should be able to intimidate these restless lizard demons.
Right now, the Azure Dragon was facing a difficult task. It had to kill all the Lizard Water Demons with a cultivation level of over a thousand years as soon as possible.
The Devil Spirits had intelligence. They should already be aware of the current situation of Yellow Leaf City. They would order the lizard demons to spread out and invade the various towns. Once the Devil Spirits were here, the lizard demons would endlessly swarm into the various towns of Yellow Leaf City. Even if they knew that there was a Dragon Lord level creature guarding them, they would still use all kinds of methods to deal with it.
The Azure Luan and Azure Dragon floated in the sky. Its glorious Azure Luan Holy Feathers shone, giving the uneasy residents a little sense of security.
If Yellow Leaf City was a city completely enclosed within the city walls, it would be easier with the Azure Luan and Azure Dragon guarding it. However, the city's districts were especially scattered. There were also ponds and depressions in the city, and the Yellow Leaf Grass was as lush as reeds.
The ponds and herb fields divided the town into several parts. The Azure Luan and Azure Dragon couldn't take care of them all.
Zhu Minglang was standing at the entrance of the city. No one had bothered to deal with the corpses of the guards. Not a single person in the city had the right to speak. It was truly a pile of loose sand.
"Black Fang, it's all up to you. No matter how many lizard demons come, don't let them break through the gate!" Zhu Minglang Summoned the little Black Dragon.
The little Black Dragon stood at the entrance of the city. The city walls were only half a circle, connected to a high slope. It didn't completely seal off the entrance, making it a lot more difficult to defend the city.
Luckily, there were a few Dragon Shepherds in Yellow Leaf City. They were scattered around the slope to prevent the lizard demons from climbing up. That way, Zhu Minglang and the little Black Dragon only had to guard the entrance of the city.
Both sides of the path outside the city were wetlands with wild Yellow Leaf Grass and Winter Reed Grass. Someone had already cut them down during the day, but the plants were growing too quickly …
The weather was cold and the night was dark. The Yellow Leaf Grass and Winter Reed Grass were taller than the mature wheat ears. It was unknown if it was the wind blowing them or if something was passing by quickly, but they were swaying in patches, giving people an uneasy feeling.
The smell of blood drifted in the air. It didn't just come from the guards that were slaughtered near the city. It also came from the farmers that had yet to return from their farm work. They were already dead.
"Gua!" It was unknown what kind of strange bird it was, but it let out a cry. Immediately after, a flock of strange black birds flew out from the mourning yellow-leafed grass and fled in another direction.
Meanwhile, in the bushes outside the city gate, a few lizards rushed out with cold eyes. They gnawed on the remains of the farmers while staring at the brightly lit city with dissatisfaction, as if they had already smelled the scent of human flesh and blood.
Zhu Minglang had already captured their auras.
However, he also discovered another strange presence close to the Winter Reed Grass. They were invisible to the naked eye, but Zhu Minglang could clearly sense them crawling around …
"Apart from the Lizard Demons, do you have any other demon beasts?" Zhu Minglang frowned and asked an official beside him.
"What do you mean by that? Did you see anything else?" asked the old official.
"The stench of rotting corpses and mud is strong. This presence doesn't belong to the Lizard Demons," said Zhu Minglang in a deep voice.
The old official's expression immediately shifted. He glanced in the direction Zhu Minglang was pointing at.
Suddenly, a phantom sprang out from the Winter Reed Grass. It quickly climbed up the wall like a strange monkey without any joints, and headed toward the courtyard of a farmer's house that had its lights turned off in the blink of an eye.
Its speed was shocking. If they weren't keeping an eye on it, they wouldn't even know something had sneaked into the city!
"It's a Vicious Swamp Ghost!" yelled the old official in terror.
A Vicious Swamp Ghost was a kind of monster in the swamps. Rumors said that they were formed by people who had accidentally fallen into swamps. They were extremely resentful. When people accidentally stepped into swamps, they would grab their ankles and drag them into the swamps, drowning them to death …
These things were more than ten times scarier than the Lizard Demons!
