The morning in Blackwater City was awakened by the smell of blood.

Su Yu opened his eyes from the adobe house, his hand already pressed on the handle of the knife.

It was getting dark outside the window, and the gray light was filled with a strong smell of rust—not the blood of one or two people, but the blood of hundreds of thousands of creatures that were torn to pieces and then poured into the city by the wind.

He stood up and climbed to the roof in a few steps.

The city wall has become a mess.

The casual cultivators who were guarding the city rushed to the top of the city in disheveled clothes. Some of them fell to the ground without even holding their magic weapons firmly.

On the other side of the Heishui River below the city, in the direction of the Black Wind Ridge, the mountains and forests were moving—not the movement of the wind blowing through the forest tops, but the whole mountain trembling.

Trees fell in pieces, and smoke and dust rose into the sky, mixed with the roars of monsters and loud sounds of trees breaking.

"The beast tide! The beast tide is coming!"

"The monsters in Black Wind Ridge are all crazy! They are all rushing here!"

Su Yu's eyes were focused.

He has been hunting in Black Wind Ridge since he was a child and has never seen a tide of beasts.

His father said that the last beast wave was sixty years ago, and seventy people died in Blackwater City that time.

But this time, the tremors in the mountains and forests were far more severe than in the legend.

What concerned him even more was the direction from which the beast tide was coming—the direction from the deepest part of Black Wind Ridge to Guiwei Cliff.

The Shiwang Monument in the sea of ​​consciousness trembled slightly. It was not a warning, but a resonance.

Something has awakened deep in the Black Wind Ridge and is stirring the earth's aura throughout the mountain range.

The casual cultivators on the city wall had already opened fire.

Talismans, fireballs, and ice picks were thrown at the city in random directions.

The scene below the city was mind-numbing - the monster beasts coming from the direction of Black Wind Ridge formed a torrent, and the ones rushing at the front were the armored rhino and the stone-toothed wild boar. The big ones were like adobe houses, and the small ones were as big as millstones.

They rushed through the Blackwater River with red eyes, and the water was trampled so hard that water splashed high into the air.

Further away, dense black shadows hovered over Black Wind Ridge - they were iron-clawed vultures and red-eyed bats, their wings spread out to cover the sky and the sun.

Su Yu stood on the roof holding the knife, not in a hurry to take action.

He is observing.

The beast tide came too suddenly and too neatly.

Different types of monsters are usually natural enemies of each other, but now they seem to be driven by something and are rushing towards Blackwater City at the same time.

It felt like someone set a fire in the mountains and all the beasts were running for their lives.

Not fire.

There was no fire or smoke in the depths of Black Wind Ridge.

It's something else - an older, deeper power.

The tremors of the Shiwang Monument became more and more intense. Su Yu could feel that some information was emerging in the sea of ​​consciousness, but it was blocked by an invisible barrier.

That was the information that Su Xuan's evil thoughts left deep in his memory, and it would take a specific time to unlock it.

"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!" someone shouted on the wall.

Su Yu saw the leader of the East District, a strong man named Tie who was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, waving a sword to command his men.

Over in the West District, a woman wearing iron armor was also organizing a defense.

But there are too many monsters, and the casual cultivators on the city wall are like rocks standing in the torrent, and they will be washed away at any time.

Su Yu took a deep breath, jumped off the roof, and ran towards the city wall.

He doesn't care about the survival of Blackwater City.

But if the beast tide is not stopped, everyone will die.

And he needs to live - the information left by Su Xuan is still sealed in the sea of ​​​​consciousness, and he vaguely feels that the changes in the depths of Black Wind Ridge are related to him.

On the city wall, the iron head was killing people until his eyes were blood red.

He slashed away a stone-toothed wild boar that rushed to the top of the city. When he turned around and saw Su Yu approaching with a knife, he was stunned for a moment: "Which district are you from?"

"Nancheng."

Su Yu pulled out the poison-quenching sword from his waist and said, "Come and help."

The iron head looked at the knife in his hand - the blade was faintly glowing with green light, it was a poisoned Bailian Dao, and it was of good quality.

Looking at Su Yu's face again, he was young and pale, but his eyes were as steady as an old hunter's.

He didn't ask any more questions. Most of the casual cultivators in Blackwater City didn't know each other. The only people who could help in times of disaster were brothers.

"Boy, can you shoot arrows?"

"Yes."

Tie Baotou picked up a discarded hunting bow from the ground, grabbed a quiver and threw it to Su Yu: "Stand behind the crenel and shoot the armored rhino's eyes.

Can't penetrate other places."
