"This...this is..."

"Is it really true..."

"so amazing……"

Everyone was stunned.

A huge shock wave suddenly spread like ripples, knocking everyone to the ground.

The wave continued to spread and rushed to the outside of the village wall.

The ground instantly cracked, and deep cracks appeared surrounding the village.

"Rumble--"

Smoke and dust were everywhere, and the noise was deafening.

In the center of the crack, all the land, including the village, the village wall, and the altar, slowly rises like a whole.

After a long time, the rise of the ground stopped.

But on the periphery, a black city wall exuding a metallic color continued to rise, rising to more than ten meters above the ground.

On the inner part of the city wall, gaps opened one after another, and countless black metal chains shot out, submerging each other diagonally. The chains were intertwined, forming an airtight barrier above the head.

"This is... a fortress from ancient times?"

Meng Chi reacted.

"It's Shentie... a craft from the Tianji Sect..."

Xuan Yi raised his head and saw the doorway at a glance.

Simon Shen inserted the ancient sword completely into the altar, leaving only the hilt outside.

The surrounding noises also stopped immediately.

"It seems that the altar is a mechanism that has been sleeping underground for thousands of years."

Gao Que sighed with his hands on his hips.

"Village Chief, Mr. Shen, the beast tide has arrived!"

Someone rushed over and reported loudly.

"Everyone! Go to the city wall! Like our ancestors, fight the monsters to the death!"

Uncle Shen stood on the altar and appealed loudly.

————————————————————————————————

It was noon at this time, but the sky and the earth were as dark as midnight, with thunder and lightning and dark clouds over the city.

Monsters of all sizes roared and ran, and giant birds hovered in the sky.

The men in the village each picked up their hunting bows and spears and stood on the city wall, looking nervous.

An abyss up to twenty meters wide appeared outside the city wall, blocking the monsters' path forward.

However, the monsters seemed to have no fear of death and jumped into the abyss one after another.

Their bodies were pierced by spikes made of divine iron from the abyss, and their screams and wails were endless.

"Bang-bang-"

The humans on the city wall drew their bows one after another.

However, except for the explosion caused by the arrows of Xuan Yi and others, which caused the loss of the monster, the bamboo arrows of others were unable to penetrate the monster's skin at all.

Overhead, those strange birds kept swooping down from the sky, trying to break through the chain's defense, but in the end they made no progress except breaking the feathers all over the sky.

"Tianjiang, the number of monsters has exceeded one hundred thousand. If this continues, this abyss will be filled!"

Meng Chi reported.

"Oh, if only there was enough fuel, we could burn them to death like we did at Tianji Cliff!"

Xuanyi shot three arrows and reached out to touch the arrows again.

The corpses of two behemoths, five to six meters high, were crawling in the abyss, their bodies burning with flames from the explosion. Some small monsters jumped on their backs, forced their way through the flames, and climbed onto the land on this side of the city wall.

"Oops……"

"These guys are really not afraid of death..."

"At worst, we'll have to fight with them..."

On the top of the city, there were noisy voices, complaints, and curses, but everyone was working hard. The men kept shooting arrows, hitting and shooting small targets that were agile but weakly defended. Women and children carried stretchers and herbs. , the bandages were moved up the city wall, ready to rescue the wounded at any time.

————————————————————————————————

The monsters continuously crossed the last barrier and approached the bottom of the city wall. Some large monsters stayed below as cornerstones, and the small monsters built ladders on them and jumped hard, trying to jump up the city wall.

"It shouldn't be..."

Xuanyi suddenly whispered.

"What shouldn't?"

Shen Simon held a bundle of spears in his hand and distributed them to his companions, preparing for hand-to-hand combat.

"The founding philosophy of Tianjimen has always been to be prepared for both offense and defense. If this fortress is really made by Tianjimen, it should not only have the function of being passively attacked."

Xuan Yi shook his head, puzzled.

"Really? Then this fortress must not belong to your family."

Gao Que took the telescopic javelin with the explosive device from behind and threw it out one after another.

"No...except for Tianjimen, there is no other company in the world that can create such a mechanism!"

Xuanyi said with a serious expression.

"I think you should survive first and discuss patent issues later!"

Ying Hanche glanced at the communicator again, but there was still no signal.

She sighed, injected electric energy into the crossbow, and shot it out.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of mechanical rotation on the city wall.

"What's the noise?"

Gao Que looked at the monsters on the city wall receding like a tide and asked immediately.

"I knew my ancestors wouldn't be without backup plans!"

Xuan Yi stuck his head out and looked under the city wall. Sure enough, on the outer city wall, countless black holes opened one after another.

"Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-"

Arrows as dense as locusts shot out, and in just one round, the entire city wall was cleared.

The mechanical gears were rotating "squeaking", and the second and third waves of arrows continued to be fired without stopping.

The large arrows are five or six meters long, like javelins, easily piercing the skin of giant monsters and pinning them to the ground. The smaller ones are also one or two meters long. After being submerged in the herd of beasts, they trigger continuous explosions.

"Zhizhi-zhizhi-"

"Ho-ho-"

"Ouch-"

For a moment, the city walls were surrounded by flames, and the beasts trampled themselves madly, trying desperately to escape.

————————————————————————————————

"Awesome, this is faster than a Gatling gun! Mr. Tianjiang, I am really convinced by your Tianji Sect!"

Gao Que extended his thumb and praised.

"What is this? Is there something more powerful? The one in front of you will definitely become the most powerful heavenly craftsman since ancient times!"

Meng Chi said proudly.

"Don't rush to flatter me yet. Although the mechanism is powerful, the arrows are limited after all. Although the beast tide has been repelled, we don't know if it will come back again. We must be prepared!"

Xuan Yi said calmly.

"Mr. Xuan, a secret passage was found on the city wall, which seems to lead to the inside of the agency."

Simon Shen walked over and said.

"Secret passage? That's great. I also want to admire the wisdom of my ancestors!"
