Chapter 181 Night Attack (Part )
After the Black Miao Army retreated, Gai Luojiao immediately arranged for personnel to repair the city walls and patrol.
Lin Shen, Zhao Linger, and Anu helped treat the wounded, while others helped transport the wounded.
Although Lin Shen and the other seven had helped, there were still too many wounded after the battle, and many of them died due to lack of timely medical treatment.
In order to prevent the corpses from rotting and causing plague, the King of Nanman had to order all the dead Bai Miao civilians and soldiers to be gathered together and burned.
Zhao Linger looked at the blazing flames and felt very painful.
We were busy until dark before we finished treating all the wounded.
The King of Nanman arranged for Lin Shen and others to rest and have a meal. During dinner, everyone found that one person was missing. Lin Shen was sure that it was Zhao Linger who was missing, but he guessed where Linger was, so he took two pancakes and went out.
Sure enough, Zhao Linger stood beside the crematorium, looking at the deep pit that was still emitting a trace of heat without saying a word.
Lin Shen held the pancake in front of Zhao Linger and said, "Linger, have some."
Zhao Linger turned around and saw that it was Lin Shen. She pushed Lin Shen's hand holding the pancake aside and said, "Brother Anos, you take it away. Linger can't eat it."
Lin Shen said, "Because of today's battle?"
Zhao Linger didn't say anything, just nodded.
Lin Shen said, "Actually, I've noticed this a long time ago. You didn't use a single offensive spell during the battle today.
The whole time, I felt like I was physically present, but my soul had gone somewhere else.”
Zhao Linger didn't say anything, just nodded and said, "Brother Anos, why is it like this.
Why are there wars? Isn’t it good for everyone to live in harmony?
Today, when I was providing emergency care after the battle, I watched them die one by one in front of me, and I... I..."
Zhao Linger couldn't continue speaking, with tears in the corners of her eyes.
Lin Shen said, "Ling'er, not everyone is as kind-hearted as you.
This is how the world is. Where there is yin, there is yang. Where there is happiness, there is sadness. Where there is light, there is darkness.
All we can do is try our best and do what we should do.”
Zhao Linger said, "Can't we completely eradicate the darkness and restore light to the world?"
Lin Shen smiled bitterly and said, "In our world, someone once said this: Without darkness, light would be meaningless.
Everything in the world has two sides. Let me give you an inappropriate example.
During the past ten years that you have lived on Xianling Island, you have been carefree and happy every day.
But it also makes you lack a sense of crisis and lack sufficient motivation to learn the Five Spirits Immortal Art.
I don't need to say much about your performance when the Black Miao tribe attacks Xianling Island.
And your current spiritual power is not the result of continuous adventures along the way."
Zhao Linger listened to Lin Shen's words, thinking about something. Lin Shen said, "If you don't eat it now, the pancake will get cold."
Zhao Linger smiled, took the pancake from Lin Shen's hand and started eating.
After finishing the pancake, Zhao Linger wiped her mouth and said, "Thank you, Brother Anos. Thank you for enlightening me. Linger knows what to do now."
Lin Shen touched Ling'er's hair and said, "I'm glad you can think it through. Go back and rest."
"Brother Anos, aren't you going back to rest?"
"I'll take another look around."
"Okay, Brother Anos, you should also go to bed early."
Just as Zhao Linger was about to leave, she suddenly felt the ground begin to shake. Li Xiaoyao and the others ran out and asked, "What happened?"
Lin Shen said, "I don't know, but I feel that this matter has something to do with the Moon Worship Cult."
The soldiers and civilians in the city fled in all directions, shouting "The earth is shaking!"
Cracks appeared in the ground, and many people fell in. Suddenly, a large, earthy yellow hand stretched out from the ground.
Seeing this, Long You shouted, "Enemy is here, be alert~!"
Anu said, "What the hell is this?!"
I saw a guy three meters tall emerging from the ground. He was earthy yellow in color, had a bull's head, a bump on his back that was as big as a hill, and a long knife-like spike on his left arm.
Lin Shen took one look and shouted, "Earth Demon Beast!"
Anu asked, "Why are you here?"
Gai Luojiao ran over with his soldiers and shouted, "It's the Earth Monster! Shoot!"
At Gai Luojiao's command, dozens of archers drew their bows and arrows. With a "whoosh!" sound, dozens of feather arrows shot towards the earth monster.
The Earth Demon Beast raised its left arm and swung it, knocking down all the feather arrows.
Seeing the situation was not good, Lin Shen shouted, "General Gai, quickly go to the city wall to prevent the Black Miao army from attacking at night!"
Gai Luojiao shouted, "What about you?"
Lin Shen clenched his fists and rushed towards the earth monster, punching it in the stomach.
The Earth Demon Beast was knocked back five steps, and then it felt a shock wave, once, twice, three times... until it stopped twenty times.
Lin Shen kicked the Earth Demon Beast again, knocking it to the ground.
Long You said, "General Gai, leave the Earth Demon Beast to us. You quickly go to the city wall to prevent the Black Miao Army from attacking at night!"
Gai Luojiao said, "Okay, brothers, let's go to the city wall!" So Gai Luojiao and her men left.
At this time, the demon beast climbed up and rushed towards Lin Shen again.
The earth monster raised its left arm and dropped it suddenly. Lin Shen quickly dodged to the side. The spikes on its left arm pierced the ground, leaving several cracks on it.
Lin Yueru took out a handful of copper coin darts and threw them at the earth monster.
Just as the Earth Demon Beast pulled out its left arm, Lin Yueru's copper coin darts came towards it. There was a series of "pa~!" sounds, and all the copper coin darts hit the Earth Demon Beast's body.
Long You gathered his spiritual power and fired a thunder bomb at the Earth Demon Beast. The Earth Demon Beast directly used the spike on its left arm to split the thunder bomb into two.
Seeing this, Long You said, "This guy is quite powerful."
Lin Shen complained in his heart: This is not nonsense, this is the final battle. The enemy monsters released are not all tough guys.
But it's very strange. In the original work, the monster was released when Ling'er successfully prayed for rain and the Bai Miao tribe was celebrating. How come it appeared at this time?
Could it be that the Moon Worshiper was furious because the siege failed?
On the other hand, just as Lin Shen worried, the Black Miao tribe arranged a force to attack the city gate at night.
At this time, the Black Miao general outside heard the chaos inside and shouted, "Brothers, they succeeded inside. Go!"
Then a team of Black Miao people took out a climbing lasso, swung it a few times, threw it upwards, and after it caught the battlements, they climbed up.
Several Black Miao people climbed up the ropes, killed the guards, and were about to take the next step when Gai Luojiao arrived with his troops.
Gai Luojiao sighed, "Fortunately, I listened to Anos, otherwise we would be in trouble! Brothers, kill!"
At Gai Luojiao's command, the White Miao soldiers rushed forward with their swords drawn. The Black Miao soldiers also rushed forward with their swords drawn, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle on the city wall.
Gai Luojiao also charged into the crowd with a knife, slashing left and right. After a burst of swords and sabers, all the Black Miao soldiers in the upper city were killed.
On the other side, Lin Shen's hands were in a bow-like position, and soon a flaming bow, a rocket, and a thunder arrow appeared.
Lin Shen shot two arrows at once, but they were both dodged by the Earth Demon Beast.
Lin Shen thought: This guy is quite flexible.
The Earth Demonic Beast roared and rushed towards Lin Shen...
