Yi Yeyu, Yi Zheng, and the rest looked gloomy.
They had just had a relaxing afternoon and they did not expect to receive such bad news.
The three human footholds nearby had been cleared. This meant that the Snowy Mountain Town would be attacked by the monsters from the other three footholds at the same time. The number of monsters would increase by four times.
The rest of the hunters knew about this as well. The atmosphere on the battlefield had dropped to a freezing point.
"Lin Huang, do you have any ideas?" Zhou Le took a deep breath to calm himself down and asked Lin Huang with anticipation.
Lin Huang shook his head helplessly. "We have no choice but to fight them head-on. Let's pray that the human transcendent comes faster."
Night fell quickly. Although the morale of the people on the battlefield had dropped, the battle was still going on. More than a thousand hunters did not slack off as they guarded the entrance of the canyon with all their might.
At around nine o 'clock at night, Yi Zheng heard a soft sound coming from afar and it was approaching the canyon quickly.
He looked into the distance. To him, there was not much difference between the night and the day. He could see a huge group of monsters from afar. Although he couldn't see what kind of monster it was under the cover of the dust, he could vaguely feel the ground shaking.
The hunters in the canyon could feel the ground shaking too.
Lin Huang knew that it must be a huge monster to be able to cause such a tremor. Moreover, there were quite a number of them.
Before he could see what the monsters were, Yi Zheng stood on the giant rock and shouted at the people. He had to raise the morale of the people at this moment. Otherwise, if the morale was still low when more monsters attacked, the defense line might be broken.
"Everyone, the monsters from the other areas are coming. I'm sure all of you can feel the ground shaking. You should know that there will be more monsters attacking us as we're the only foothold left. That monster is transcendent. It won't rest until it completely cleans up our foothold. We only have one choice now, which is to fight to the death! There's no other way. "
"It's 9: 23 at night now. The Hunters' Association said that they would send a transcendent being here in 48 hours or so. There are less than 9 hours left before the 48-hour deadline. In other words, we only need to hold on for another nine hours at most before we can be rescued. "
"I'm sure everyone has heard of the transcendent the association sent this time. He's Yu Chanli, ranked fourth on the Division7 Gold Hunter Leaderboard a few years ago. He's also a powerful Imperial Censor. That monster Transcendent is already heavily injured, as long as Yu Chanli gets here, it will definitely die, then the beast horde will automatically retreat. "
"The other strongholds have been destroyed, but that's all in the past. What we need to do now is to put this matter behind us. Just like me, from now on, we only have one goal, and that is to defend for a full 9 hours! Fighting for this one goal! As long as we achieve this goal, we and the 200,000 residents of Snowy Mountain Town will survive! "
Yi Zheng's words finally had some effect. They did not know if it was because Yu Chanli's name was too famous, or because there were only nine hours left. Everyone started to get excited.
Even Lin Huang was mumbling to himself, "There's only 9 hours left, we have to hold on until then!"
After boosting their morale, Yi Zheng turned around and looked at the monster horde far away.
It was a herd of Giant Armored Elephants. Although they were mutated beasts, they had the size of giants.
Each of them had a shoulder height of more than ten meters. They were huge monsters. Even an iron-level rank-3 Tyrant was considered small in front of these monsters.
The Armored Giant Elephant was covered in a layer of metal armor starting from its trunk all the way up to its buttocks. It was the same for their heads. Their heads were covered with a layer of metal armor, revealing only a pair of eyes and two fan-like ears. These metal parts were not embedded, but they grew naturally.
The bones of such monsters were naturally made of metal, giving them a terrifying defense that other monsters did not have.
Yi Zheng frowned as he looked at the Giant Armored Elephants. Their existence was a huge threat to the safety of the defense circle. With their weight and impact, they might damage the boulders that were made of the wall. Once the wall that was made of boulders was damaged, the other monsters would be able to break in.
"Yeyu, watch over here. I'll get rid of these Giant Armored Elephants!" Yi Zheng instructed Yi Yeyu and a thin sword appeared in his hand.
His white robe fluttered in the wind as he leaped towards the boulder. He then stepped on the heads and backs of various monsters as he ran towards the direction of the Giant Armored Elephants.
Yi Yeyu watched as her brother left. She was not worried about Yi Zheng's safety at all. With Yi Zheng's ability, as long as the Transcendent monster did not appear, he would be invincible.
Although the Giant Armored Elephants were huge, most of them were only iron-level or bronze-level. There were very few of them that were silver-level. They could not threaten Yi Zheng at all.
From afar, Yi Zheng rushed into the herd of Giant Armored Elephants. Every time he swung his thin sword, a golden sword glow would shoot out and pierce through the head of the Giant Armored Elephants.
In just a few moments, the troop formed by hundreds of Armored Giant Elephants was slaughtered.
Yi Zheng turned around immediately as soon as he was done with the killing. He knew that the Giant Armored Elephants were just the first wave of monsters that came from other footholds. There would be more and more monsters coming.
Returning to the giant rock, Yi Zheng crossed his arms and stood at the same spot as if nothing had happened.
Yi Yeyu gave him a thumbs up. He glanced at her and turned his head away. However, he could not help but smirk.
Soon, a new wave of monsters appeared but Yi Yeyu and Yi Zheng did not attack again.
The monsters did not have the ability to cross over the boulder wall. Both of them allowed them to block the monsters behind them.
Then, more and more monsters came from afar. There were more and more monsters on the grassland outside the canyon.
Just when Yi Zheng was about to perform a ranged attack to kill all the monsters under the boulder, he heard a rustling sound coming from behind him.
He turned his head and looked behind him. On the peak of the snowy mountain behind Snowy Mountain Town, there were many black dots. They were extremely conspicuous on the white snowy mountain, and the black dots were continuously moving downwards.
Yi Yeyu looked at the snowy mountain behind her as she noticed what Yi Zheng was looking at. She could not help but scream, "It looks like the Sand Spiders! I hate spiders! "
