At this time, Gu Zheng felt that the tremors were getting more and more intense. There was a loud noise outside, but he couldn't see what was happening on the transparent wall.
Gu Zheng saw that everyone was busy, so he followed a pair of guards who had just arrived and sneaked into the city wall. Coincidentally, this group of guards was an old acquaintance from yesterday. When they saw Gu Zheng alone, they even handed him their spear.
Following behind them, they soon arrived at the city wall.
"Village chief, who is that newcomer? Why doesn't he know the rules? I'll call someone to call him down. Don't break our formation." One of the elders, Zhang, who hadn't seen Gu Zheng yesterday, said to the village chief.
"It's okay. He's the one who killed the Qilin Beast yesterday. Don't ask him. Oh right, is Xi 'er here?" The village chief waved his hand and said.
"I'll go take a look." After that elder finished speaking, he hurried to the back.
At this time, Gu Zheng also saw clearly what was happening outside and took a deep breath.
More than a dozen giant beasts, each of which was more than a hundred feet tall, were slowly walking towards them. Every step they took would crush the stones under their feet into powder.
At a glance, it was like an enlarged version of an elephant. It also had a long nose with a long crack on it. It was filled with saw-like teeth that looked very sharp.
However, there was indeed only one eye on the head, one nostril, and a huge mouth that took up half of its body. At this time, the eye was red and blood was leaking out. It was filled with endless killing intent as it rushed towards the village.
Gu Zheng looked at the toothpick-like spear in his hand and felt that he couldn't hurt such a huge monster.
"It's the Giant Elephant Beast. Quickly take out the longbows." At this time, the surrounding people shouted. At this time, the attack range of the spear wasn't enough. Some people hurried down to get the longbows behind.
Soon, a group of old, weak, women, and children each took a few longbows and came to the city wall to give them to them. Then, they came down in a panic.
The longbows seemed to be made of unknown wood, made of the tendons and bones of some demonic beasts. They seemed to be very powerful.
At this time, the giant elephant was less than a hundred feet away from the city wall. Gu Zheng stood on the city wall and felt the ground beneath his feet constantly trembling. He was afraid that before the elephant arrived, the city wall would collapse.
However, seeing that no one was worried about him, Gu Zheng heaved a sigh of relief.
"Lord Chang is here." A series of cheers came from behind. Chang Xi was holding a green crystal in his hand. At the same time, there were many men behind him who were holding basins of green water.
As soon as these things appeared, the basin of water was brought up. Everyone put the tips of their spears and arrows into the water. Gu Zheng was curious and did the same.
The originally white bones had been dyed green, and a strange wave of energy was emitted from them. It seemed that the attack had been strengthened.
Soon, a basin of water was used up. They hurriedly took it away and replaced it with a new one. Chang Xi, who was below, was constantly muttering something. He placed the green crystal in his hand into the basin of water. Soon, the basin of water turned dark green again.
"Young master Gu, you've also come." At this time, a familiar voice rang out in Gu Zheng's ears. Gu Zheng turned around and saw that it was Captain Qian. This area was practically his squad's territory. Naturally, he would come here to command.
Gu Zheng smiled. Just as he was about to say something, someone suddenly shouted.
"Careful!"
Gu Zheng hastily turned around. He saw the giant elephant sweep its trunk across the ground. Its sharp teeth caught an irregular stone and threw it at the city wall.
Swish!
Swish! Over a hundred stones flew over like arrows. They were so fast that they reached the edge of the city wall in the blink of an eye.
Gu Zheng was startled. Just as he was about to crawl down to dodge, a green light barrier rose up and blocked the front of the city wall. Those stones instantly shattered when they hit the light barrier. Instead, a green ray of light was sucked in. The light barrier wasn't damaged in the slightest.
However, the giant elephants continued to sweep the stones across the ground. They didn't care if they were effective or not.
"After every Lightning Tribulation, there will always be some creatures that go crazy and take the initiative to attack all the villages." Captain Qian said to the stunned Gu Zheng. "And this defense is formed by the Power of Darkness. It is thanks to them that we can stand here safely."
Captain Qian's tone was filled with pride. However, Gu Zheng keenly grasped the meaning behind it.
The Power of Darkness!
Gu Zheng subconsciously raised his head to look at the high platform in the middle of the village. He didn't know when, but four figures were sitting there. They looked like they were casting spells. Their figures were hidden in the green mist. He couldn't tell their exact age and gender.
He saw the hand gestures change again. He heard a buzzing sound. Gu Zheng hastily turned his head, but he didn't see anything.
The giant elephants were still closing the distance, but that sound was still echoing. Moreover, the sound was getting louder and louder. Gu Zheng looked at the people around him who were already prepared to attack. Just as he was puzzled, a green light beam shot out from the mouth of the bowl. It shot towards the giant elephant at the front with lightning speed.
Don't look at the giant elephant. The green light beam wasn't much bigger than a toothpick. However, when it was shot, its body suddenly fell forward uncontrollably and rolled on the ground.
"Release!"
A roar came from the city wall. All the captains ordered their members to shoot at the giant elephant.
"Pu Pu"
Its originally incomparably hard skin seemed to have turned into cotton. In a short breath, its entire body was filled with arrows. Only a small part of it fell to the side.
Before the giant elephant could let out a scream, its entire body was suddenly corroded by a layer of green light. In a very short time, it melted into a mass of flesh and blood. However, the arrows on it were not damaged at all.
That giant elephant didn't stop because of its companion's death. It continued to charge forward without hesitation.
Very soon, they passed by the side of the dead giant elephant. However, Qian Cun's side wasn't ready for the next round of arrows. However, the opponent was already close enough. Under the command of their captains, everyone pulled out their spears and prepared to attack again.
"Is this scale very common?" Gu Zheng quietly asked Captain Qian who was at the side. Although the opponent only had a few dozen, the momentum they brought was different. It was like a magnificent army with thousands of men and horses.
"There are indeed a lot of them this time. In the past, they would attack in groups of three or five." Captain Qian's expression was somewhat dignified. At the same time, he also raised the spear in his hand.
Rows of green lights were raised in a row in the air. Even Gu Zheng picked up the spear in his hand. He was ready to do his part.
"Release!"
Almost at the same time, the command sounded again. In an instant, the spears were shot towards the few giant beasts in front of them like raindrops, completely covering their heads.
When the giant beasts saw what happened to their companions, they were already prepared. They instantly raised their heads and a layer of blue light appeared on their noses.
A strange roar came from their mouths. A layer of blue whirlwind mixed with some ice shards rushed out from the cracks in their bodies. It formed a fierce wind in the air and whistled in the air.
The oncoming spears were blown away by this whirlwind, constantly swaying left and right. They lost their accuracy in the air and were covered with a layer of crystal blue frost. They barely flew forward for a distance before falling down one after another. Basically, none of them attacked the giant beast's body.
However, there was one spear that was covered with frost. It was wrapped in a layer of ice that was several layers thicker than the spear. However, its speed didn't decrease. It turned into a beautiful arc in the air and hit the sole eye of a giant elephant.
In an instant, the flying sword of the small flower that wanted to bloom in the eye released some turbid liquid. Half of the spear had already deeply penetrated the eye, causing heavy damage to the other party.
The giant elephant's body tilted to the side and brought down its companion who was running. Its mouth kept howling in pain.
"That's amazing, Young Master Gu." Captain Qian said excitedly. Of course, he knew that this spear was thrown by Gu Zheng next to him. However, except for him, everyone else's attacks had failed.
However, even their attacks were not without results. When they threw the spears at the other party again, this time the other party didn't release that kind of magic. It only used the trunk in its hand to push away the more threatening spears, mainly protecting its head.
As for the other spears, when they pierced into the giant elephant's huge body, they only caused a superficial wound. At best, they only managed to pierce a small wound. A layer of green covered the wound, but the effect was almost negligible. The elephant's speed was not affected in the slightest.
Gu Zheng smiled and didn't say anything. He just took out another spear from the side. He squinted his eyes slightly and looked for the right time to throw it out again.
The spear rotated in a slight arc in the air like a bolt of lightning. It just happened to avoid the elephant's trunk and pierced into its eye again. It directly injured the other party and made it lose its combat ability again.
This change made everyone look over. After discovering that it was a newcomer, they couldn't help but talk about it. They didn't expect this newcomer to be so powerful. It was completely different from what they knew.
The newcomers below, including Han Xiu who arrived later, saw Gu Zheng's great power. They definitely weren't that great. They also asked to fight, wanting to show off and increase their status.
However, their actions were a mess. Their performance was even worse than the warriors next to them.
At this time, a green light appeared under the city wall again. It shot on the giant elephant at the front. The giant elephant fell to the ground weakly. It was shot into a hedgehog by the spears and arrows that followed, turning into a pool of green blood again.
However, at this time, the giant elephant was already close to half the distance. Everyone could clearly see the other party's huge body. It was even more shocking. Some people's breathing became much rougher.
The death of its companion stimulated the remaining giant beasts. A blue light flashed on their originally smooth fur. The originally soft fur instantly stood up, emitting a blue light.
When Gu Zheng saw this scene, he had a bad feeling. However, before he could say anything, a green shield appeared in front of everyone again.
"Xiu xiu xiu"
The giant elephant's body flashed again. The fur on its body instantly separated from the surface of its body. It turned into a sharp blue light that covered the sky and attacked this side. It practically blocked half the sky.
"Bang bang bang"
Concentrated sounds rang out from the green shield in front of them. The entire green shield was hit by countless steel-like fur. Countless waves unceasingly rose up, causing the entire green shield to tremble.
In everyone's frightened eyes, this wave of attack was finally blocked. However, through the green shield that had just calmed down, the other party's second attack came again.
Just now, it was only a few in front that attacked together. At this time, the ones behind also stepped into their attack range. The same familiar scene came from the sky again.
"Quickly get down." When Gu Zheng saw this, he immediately shouted. When Captain Qian next to him heard this, he immediately woke up from his shock and subconsciously shouted.
"Quickly get down, quickly!"
Although he felt that the other party's attack this time would be the same as last time, unable to break through the green shield's defense, he didn't know why, but when he heard all kinds of shouting, he also shouted with his heart. It was as if he didn't have his own opinion.
When he finished shouting, he realized that he was like this. On second thought, maybe it was his attitude when he faced the Qilin Beast alone that made him unconsciously believe in him.
It seemed that Captain Qian's prestige was not small. As soon as his voice fell, the other captains shouted to each other from almost all directions.
Many people subconsciously squatted down and hid their bodies under the battlements, not showing a trace of their bodies outside. For a moment, only a few people who didn't take it seriously were still standing. They even had disdainful smiles on their faces as they looked at Gu Zheng, who was the first to speak.
As a newcomer who killed the Qilin Beast alone yesterday, his reputation had spread throughout the village. When he killed the giant elephant for the first time, everyone already knew him.
"He's just a coward." Those who were standing thought contemptuously. This kind of monster attack happened almost every year after the Thunder Tribulation. Not once could they break through the green shield.
Therefore, they were very confident that they still stood in place and waited for the other party's attack to pass. In this way, their performance would definitely be seen by some people and let them know their bravery.
One of them looked back and saw that there was no one behind them. They were all hiding in the houses because there was nothing for them to do next.
However, they forgot that compared to the previous scale, this was just a small fight. With a slight cracking sound, the green shield in front of them instantly shattered. A pitch-black darkness suddenly appeared in front of those people. Before their minds could realize what was going on, they instantly lost consciousness.
Gu Zheng looked at the people who were covered in small holes. Because the city walls were quite high, the burrs pierced through them and continued flying into the sky. Finally, they landed on the roofs and the ground behind them. Fortunately, there was no one outside. Other than them, there were no casualties.
Everyone who saw this scene felt lucky in their hearts. Even Chang Xi was no exception. At this time, he was on the other side of the city wall. He had felt that something was wrong before, but he wasn't sure.
The green shield shattered, causing the people who had cast spells behind to vomit blood. It seemed that they had lost their role in this battle.
Everyone stood up one after another. No one mourned for those who had died, because there was still a battle waiting for them.
The Blood Giant Beast was less than three hundred feet away from them, but the good news was that the other party's hair was all gone. Moreover, as the distance increased, the killing power of the spears in everyone's hands became even greater.
After a round of focused fire, the few elephants in front of them were covered in spears and lying on the ground. Although they didn't lose their lives, they could only slowly bleed to death on the ground. They were no longer a threat.
Chang Xi didn't dare to fall behind. He raised the green crystal in his hand. As the crystal slowly lit up, a thumb-sized thread shot out from it and directly pierced the eye of a giant elephant, killing it on the spot.
Everyone cheered when they saw this scene. Their morale was even higher, and they continued to throw their spears and arrows. Although the other party sent out a gust of wind to block everyone's attacks, and a few people even felt a slight chill, everyone's hands still didn't stop moving.
As for Chang Xi, after waiting for a while, he once again released a green light, and without any suspense, he was quickly killed by everyone again.
Gu Zheng glanced at Chang Xi and saw that the crystal had dimmed a lot. Moreover, Chang Xi's face was a bit pale. It seemed that he had consumed a lot of energy.
Soon, all the beasts in front of them were killed or lost their fighting power. Only the elephant at the back was still slowly walking towards them.
Gu Zheng had noticed that something was wrong with it from the start. The other elephants' eyes were blood-red, and only the elephant's blue eyes were different. But when he looked carefully, there were also many red veins spreading in the depths of the elephant's eyes. It seemed that the elephant was constantly struggling, but it seemed like it was about to wake up.
Moreover, as the elephant in front of them gradually died, half of the blue eyes were suppressed, completely turning into a bloody light. In the end, it fell into a frenzy.
This elephant's body was obviously much larger than the others. It seemed to be the leader of this small group of elephants. Previously, it had only been walking slowly, so they didn't feel anything.
Running like this, they felt like they were going through an abnormal earthquake. Every step they took almost shook the people on the city wall. Fortunately, all the stones on the city wall seemed to be made of the green crystal, so they didn't have to worry about it collapsing. However, a few houses in the village couldn't withstand the shaking and collapsed.
Fortunately, there were no people living in them, so there were no casualties.
Without the green pillar, even if the arrows were soaked in green light, they would only be able to knock off a few strands of hair. In fact, Chang Xi had once again activated the green light, but unfortunately, the previously successful ray of light had no effect this time.
This was because the other party's eyes also shot out a blue ray of light, colliding with it in mid-air, and both of them perished together.
The elephant's charge was getting stronger and stronger. If there was no way to stop it, it might really break through the city wall and slaughter everyone in the village.
At that moment, a pleasant cry suddenly came from the village. It was like the cry of a skylark, clear and melodious.
