Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 466 - 279: Torment_3

Even a random attack landing inside Beifeng City could level it several times over.

Lu Yu and the others relocated, quickly heading towards the other side of the city wall.

In contrast to the fierce battle at the Ancient Fire Spirit God's side, the city wall shrouded in black fog had no signs of battle; the guards on the wall didn't even know where the enemy was.

The only thing they needed to do was clear away the villagers tirelessly trying to climb the city walls.

Oh no, they were actually monsters.

Those villagers, even if their necks were broken and heads flattened, could still move. Their sole goal was to climb the walls of Beifeng City.

The guards only needed to topple the human ladders they formed when necessary, but each topple resulted in significant casualties.

Unable to see their opponents in the black fog and constantly guarding against unknown threats, the guards' moods were exceptionally poor, and the atmosphere was particularly gloomy.

They would rather fight fiercely and desperately with swords against the enemy than be in the current state, facing an enemy whose location they didn't even know, completely clueless and helpless.

"Hurry, get all these to the wall and have everyone put them on," shouted the logistics officer, urging the logistics soldiers to move faster.

"Everyone, apply the Exorcism Talisman," the Beifeng City leader shouted.

The guards, upon receiving the Exorcism Talisman, promptly applied them to their arms.

After Lu Jingfeng and the others left, the Deputy City Lord took charge of Beifeng City's situation, quickly deciding to use the Exorcism Talismans to fend off the encroaching black fog.

The black fog was Demonic Qi emitted from a demonic lair. Naturally, the Exorcism Talismans could work against it.

However, the area covered by the black fog was simply too vast, with more than half of Beifeng City shrouded. There weren't enough talismans, so the guards on the city walls could only use them first.

"The exorcism array is already being set up. The initial design of the city protection array considered Demonic Qi pollution, but back then, the possibility of Beifeng City facing a demon attack was considered low, so it wasn't set up."

"However, a fallback was left in the city protection array. A temporary exorcism array can be swiftly set up and merged into the city protection array. Master Long is arranging it as fast as possible, but Beifeng City's area is vast, and it will take some time," said Lu Jingfeng's assistant.

The Deputy City Lord said, "Hurry up, gather all the Array Masters in Beifeng City and have them assist Master Long to speed up the setup."

"Understood."

When Lu Yu and the others arrived, the officer on the city wall handed them a few Exorcism Talismans, cautioning them to beware of monsters in the black fog and not to recklessly extend their bodies beyond the city wall.

Lu Yu glanced around and found the city walls plastered with Exorcism Talismans, each one emitting a glow, indicating they were working.

Looking at the black fog outside, Lu Yu's expression changed; this was Demonic Qi.

Gazing towards the black fog, he saw a looming thousand-meter giant tree, with several figures flitting about its vicinity.

Suddenly, Lu Yu saw a massive branch of the giant tree fall.

Soon after, a strong tremor reached Beifeng City, shaking the city walls incessantly.

Staring at the black fog where he could no longer see the giant tree, Lu Yu realized it wasn't an illusion; the giant tree's branch was truly severed.

From others, Lu Yu learned that the City Lord of Beifeng City and elders from various families had set out to sever the source of the black fog. He speculated that the recent disturbance was their doing. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Maybe they could actually succeed, Lu Yu couldn't help but think.

Roars echoed menacingly from the black fog. Hearing these horrific roars, the guards on the city wall surprisingly relaxed a bit, easing their tense nerves.

This indicated that their enemies were about to appear, and they could finally see where the opponents were!

Even when facing a powerful enemy, they'd rather not remain in a constant state of fear, vigilant against foes whose existence was uncertain.

They wrapped Exorcism Talismans around their arms, applied them on their weapons, and stood by the city wall, watching warily the direction of the roars emanating from the black fog.

"Here they come!"

"Fire the arrows!"

Buzzing ~ arm-thick crossbow arrows shot forth, with Exorcism Talismans wrapped around them burning. The crossbow arrows carved a transparent path through the black fog, piercing through more than a dozen monster figures before vanishing into the fog.

Through the sieve-like view created by the crossbow arrows penetrating the fog, the guards on the city wall finally saw their enemies.

Endless hordes of demons.
