"Roar, …"
The roars of the beasts shook the heavens, causing even the clouds in the sky to scatter. Numerous ancient beasts that were as terrifying as devils were roaring out, exuding an unparalleled ferocity. At this moment, they seemed to be extremely enraged, as though their dignity was being challenged.
"Ba Ba, Ba Ba …"
Muffled thunder rumbled, and the entire world seemed to tremble. The surface of the earth was covered with wide cracks.
At this moment, there were at least a few hundred ancient beasts attacking Clearwater City.
They were majestic and mighty. Their bodies were covered in steel-like scales, and there was a thin layer of fog lingering over them. This added an additional layer of mystery to their appearance. Each time they raised their hands or stomped their feet, it would cause the defensive barrier of the city to tremble intensely, as though it would shatter at any moment.
"Damn it. How can so many ancient beasts be awakened at once?"
The City Lord of Clearwater City, Gan Wenlin, stood on the city walls and cursed as he looked at the ferocious ancient beasts outside the city.
His cultivation was only at the peak of the Wu Huang realm. He was born and raised in Clearwater City and was elected as the City Lord because he was the strongest.
He had been the City Lord for more than thirty years and had never encountered such an accident. In the past, even if ancient beasts were to awaken, it would only be one or two at most. He could still deal with them.
However, there was nothing he could do as he looked at the hundreds of ancient beasts.
"How long can the barrier last?"
Gan Wenlin turned his head and asked the advisor beside him.
"Judging from the current situation, it can at most … last for about seven to eight days."
The advisor was also a peak Wu Huang realm expert. At this moment, his brows were tightly knitted as he replied worriedly.
Gan Wenlin's brows deeply knitted when he heard this.
"Sigh …"
He glanced at the frightened citizens in the city and the iron-blooded guards around him before sighing. "Have you informed the Sacred Residence?"
"Yes. Perhaps reinforcements are already on their way."
The advisor nodded and replied.
"Mm."
Gan Wenlin nodded and heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he cautiously instructed, "If the reinforcements don't arrive, then prepare to break out of the encirclement. Every survivor counts, understand?"
"Understood."
The advisor nodded and left to make arrangements.
"I hope they can dispatch some powerful reinforcements …"
Gan Wenlin glanced worriedly at the pairs of bright eyes in the distance in the dense fog, and he was immediately drenched in sweat.
With so many ancient beasts awakening this time around, perhaps there would be ancient beasts stronger than Wu Huang.
He could only pray.
Now, Clearwater City was actually dispensable. With the mining going on, the Scarlet Cloud Treasure Gold was getting lesser and lesser. He had been in charge for more than 30 years, but he had only gotten a few taels of it. It was not of much use to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the city lord.
Perhaps the Sacred Mansion had already forgotten about this place, but his family and friends were still in this city. He couldn't bear to abandon them and leave. Furthermore, as the city lord, he had the duty and responsibility to protect his citizens.
…
When they were on their way, Feng Hao and the rest finally regretted their decision.
That was because there was no teleportation formation to Clearwater City.
The Absolute Beginning Forbidden Area was too dangerous. No one knew what would happen. If they built a teleportation formation, it might lead to an irreparable disaster.
Therefore, after coming out from a big city called Proud Yuan City, which was closest to Clearwater City, Feng Hao and the rest had no choice but to rush there themselves.
Ge Hong broke open the space and the group entered the Flowing Light Space.
"How far is it?"
Feng Hao asked Xie Yandong, who was looking at the map.
"I estimate that with our current speed, it will take at least six days."
Xie Yandong's face was full of bitterness as he said with some annoyance.
"What? How could it be like this? If we can't complete it in ten days, won't we be humiliated again?"
When Long Yueguan heard these words, his eyes instantly widened and he anxiously shouted out in anger.
He remembered that Liu Canyan only gave them a deadline of ten days. Now, even if they were to rush, they wouldn't be able to make it in time.
"You still know?"
Everyone couldn't help but glare at him again. Looking at his bruised face, everyone's heart twitched.
How heavy was that?
"You guys don't have to go."
Fenghao pondered for a moment, but still opened his mouth.
"Why?"
Everyone looked at him doubtfully.
"This is too slow. If all of you go together, it will slow us down. We won't be able to return within ten days … I think Ge Hong and I will be enough."
Feng Hao told them his decision.
Xie Yandong and the rest were not weak. However, they hadn't reached the Sage level and couldn't walk in the Flowing Light Space. They needed someone to bring them.
Here, apart from Ge Hong, he was the only one who could walk normally.
He had absolute confidence that he could increase his speed by half.
If it wasn't because he was worried that there would be ancient beasts that could break through Wu Huang, Feng Hao wanted to go alone. Bringing Ge Hong was just to be safe.
"You go."
Xie Yandong, Long Yue Pass, Ge Hong, and Xue Mo all looked at him doubtfully.
"If you don't want to fail the task, stay in Aoyuan City."
Worried that they wouldn't be able to make it in time, Feng Hao and Wan Xin said a few words. Then, he and Ge Hong turned into a flowing light and disappeared into the endless darkness.
"How can he be so fast?"
Seeing this scene, Xie Yandong's eyes almost popped out. "Could it be that this guy has already broken through the Sage level?"
Such a speed was at least twice as fast as before. It was no wonder that he was surprised.
In this way, it seemed that they were just a burden to him.
However, Joan Of Arc and the other two girls smiled sweetly and pretended to be mysterious.
This was Feng Hao's secret.
"Strange … Why did the sky become clear?"
The stars in Xue Mo's eyes disappeared as he murmured.
After Fenghao and Ge Hong left, the weather, which was originally shrouded in dense fog and rolling dark clouds, strangely recovered its brightness. It was just that there were some bumps in the road.
…
Inside Clearwater City, it was a gloomy scene. Everyone had gathered. City Lord Gan Wenlin and a group of guards surrounded more than six hundred citizens, ready to break out of the encirclement at any time.
Outside, because of the weakening of the protective shield, the attacks of the ancient beasts became more violent. At this moment, there were actually cracks on the protective shield. It wouldn't be long before it shattered.
"It seems that I can't wait any longer."
Gan Wenlin sighed in his heart. His eyes were fixed on the place that was about to shatter, and he planned to lead the people out from there.
Although he knew that the probability of escaping was not high, he still wanted to fight to the death.
"Crack."
With a crisp sound, the cracks on the protective shield intensified, and it was about to shatter.
"Go."
A cold light flashed across Gan Wenlin's eyes. He shouted in a deep voice, and together with the advisor and a few people who had reached the peak of Wu Huang, they rushed towards the crack. The other guards led a group of people and followed behind them.
