When Beauty Meets Beasts

865 Besieged

The entire rock city was already surrounded by demons.

The demons kept attacking the rock city.

They were not afraid of death at all. Even if their companions in front died, the demons behind would immediately step on their companions’ corpses and rush forward without any hesitation.

Corpses were already everywhere outside the city. Demons rushed toward the rock city from all directions.

Bai Di and Shuang Yun led their troops to guard the east and west respectively. Xue Ling and Shen Yan led the feather beasts to fly into the sky and eliminate all the demons who tried to break into the rock city from the air.

Corpses of demons kept falling from the sky, occasionally mixed with one or two feather beasts.

Blood-stained feathers were scattered everywhere.

Wounded soldiers were constantly carried into the rock temple for treatment.

Dong Ya led the divine servants to heal the injured soldiers day and night.

This lasted for five days.

Someone couldn’t take it anymore and asked softly, “Why isn’t the divine pillar glowing? Why isn’t the prophet saving us?”

As soon as he said this, the others around immediately echoed.

“That’s right. The divine pillar hasn’t shone for five days. Has the prophet given up on us?”

Dong Ya stood up and looked around. “The prophet will never give up on us!” he said loudly.

She asked, “Then why isn’t she helping us resist the demons?”

“The prophet must be busy with something else. Perhaps she’s in some trouble. She’ll come and save us when she’s done.”

“Then when can she solve the problem?”

There were many people who asked this question.

Dong Ya could not avoid answering and could only reply vaguely, “It shouldn’t be long. Please wait patiently. During this period, we’ll do our best to treat all the injured!”

He and the divine servants had not slept a wink during this period of time to save people.

Everyone had seen their efforts and would be lying if they said they weren’t touched.

They were willing to trust Dong Ya one more time.

Everyone fell silent and stopped asking about the prophet. Dong Ya led the divine servants to continue treating their injuries.

At this moment, Xue Ling descended from the sky and landed in front of the temple.

He strode into the temple and stood in front of the altar.

The divine pillar had not lit up for four days.

More and more beast soldiers were injured. Dong Ya and the divine servants could not heal so many injured people. The number of demons outside the city had increased instead of decreased. If this continued, they would all be trapped in this city.

Xue Ling walked up to the altar and pressed a hand on the divine pillar while calling out silently in his heart.

“Huanhuan…”

He waited for a long time, but there was no response.

Huanhuan was not near the altar.

Xue Ling could only put down his hand and put the next letter into his space, hoping that Huanhuan would receive it as soon as possible.

At that moment, there was a rumble.

The ground shook!

Everyone in the temple jumped.

“What happened?”

“Is there an earthquake?!”

…

Xue Ling quickly ran out of the temple and found a huge rock in the city.

The rock was covered in flames.

When it landed, not only did it smash many buildings, but it also ignited raging flames. Before the beasts could escape, they were crushed to death. The flames swallowed their corpses.

Someone around them cried out in fear and sorrow.

Xue Ling looked up and saw flames flying in the air.

They were the ones who had thrown the burning boulder.

Zhi and Yan looked at the beasts that looked like ants on the ground and smiled arrogantly.

Shen Yan led the feather beasts to surround them and tried to destroy them.

Xue Ling shouted, “Wait!”

However, he was too late.

Shen Yan had already rushed forward with the feather beasts.

Xue Ling immediately spread his wings and flew into the sky, wanting to stop them. However, Zhi and Yan were even faster. They cooperated with each other, and the flames quickly spread, igniting all the feather beasts approaching them.

The feather beasts were covered in flames.

The heat made them scream and fall one after another.

Xue Ling transformed into a condor and pounced at the weaker Zhi!

Zhi quickly retreated. Yan took the opportunity to step forward and shield his brother before fighting Xue Ling.

The two sides fought fiercely.

Flames kept falling and hitting the ground. Some unlucky beasts were burned on the spot. They were in so much pain that they wished they were dead.

Shuang Yun arrived at the scene in time. He instructed the beast soldiers to put out the fire while the others went to carry the feather beasts who had fallen to the ground into the temple to be saved.

The Silvery Frost White Wolf’s claws slapped the ground.

Frost immediately spread around him.

The trees, streets, and buildings in the city were all frozen. The entire rock city had become a city of frost.

This way, even if more flames fell, no buildings would be burned down.

Freezing the entire rock city consumed a lot of Shuang Yun’s strength.

He knelt on one knee and rested for a while before recovering some strength.

Shuang Yun found Shen Yan, who was unconscious from the burns on his body. He took out a jar containing blood from his space and poured a few drops of blood into some water. Then, he opened Shen Yan’s mouth and forced the water in.

A moment later, the wounds on Shen Yan’s body healed at a visible speed.

When Dong Ya saw this, his eyes widened in surprise. “What did you give him to drink? He was cured in an instant!”

Just now, Shen Yan was already on the verge of death. He did not expect him to recover in the blink of an eye!

This was too magical!

Shuang Yun poured most of the blood from the jar into a wooden bucket and mixed it with water. The concentration of the blood was diluted many times, but the healing effect was still there.

He handed the bucket full of water to Dong Ya and instructed in a low voice, “It’s the medicine Huanhuan left behind. It’s not much. Use it.”

Dong Ya was enlightened. Only Lady Huanhuan’s medicine could have such a miraculous effect.

He gripped the barrel and nodded vigorously. “I understand!”

With this bucket of ‘potion’, many injured people who were about to die were forcefully dragged back from the gates of hell.

Shuang Yun walked out of the temple and saw that Xue Ling was still fighting Zhi and Yan. Both sides were good at using flames. Sparks kept colliding in the air and exploding like gorgeous fireworks.

But no one present was in the mood to admire them.

There were more and more demons outside the city.

The east gate had finally been breached!

The demons surged into the city like a tide. Shuang Yin transformed into a Silvery Frost White Wolf and led the beast soldiers to rush forward to fight the demons.

Quan Rong also turned into a golden long-haired dog and followed closely beside her.

His combat strength was not as strong as Shuang Yin’s, but he was agile. He had helped her deal with the demon beasts that tried to ambush her several times.
