Chapter 112 Showing Off in Public
In the distance, the roars of beasts echoed, and sandstorms soared into the sky, obscuring half the heavens.
The two looked closely and saw a herd of hundreds of wolf-faced silver bears charging toward them amidst the swirling sand and dust.
As the beasts moved swiftly, the two could feel the ground tremble slightly from a great distance.
Just now, with only five wolf-faced silver bears, it already took a lot of effort. Now that the opponent has set up such a large formation, isn't that going to kill us?
Xiao Chong looked up at Hengshan and found that Hengshan was also staring at him with a serious expression.
"What should we do? Can you hold them off?" Xiao Chong looked at Hengshan and felt a bitter taste in his mouth. The joy of obtaining five beast cores was completely swept away.
What else can we do? Even a martial arts master couldn't handle so many wolf-faced silver bears!
Yokoyama's face twitched, and he suddenly shouted, "Run!"
After saying that, he grabbed Xiao Chong and they ran for their lives.
Sure enough, given his martial arts mastery, when Yokoyama exerted his strength, Xiao Chong's feet barely touched the ground, making him feel as if he were riding on clouds.
Life's thrills are truly everywhere; in the blink of an eye, the two had escaped back to the city. Xiao Chong collapsed to the ground, his heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his chest.
Looking at Yokoyama again, the poor dignified martial arts master was actually leaning on his knees, panting heavily. Whether it was from exhaustion or fear, no one knew.
A moment later, the two recovered and felt as if they had escaped death.
Come to think of it, with the strength of these wolf-faced silver bears, if they fought one by one, Yokoyama alone could kill them all from beginning to end.
However, if caught in a pack of beasts, hundreds of wolf-faced silver bears would swarm forward, and even Hengshan would face certain death.
Just like large-scale warfare in the era of cold weapons, individual bravery was of little use. The ability to "take the head of a general from a million-strong army as easily as taking something out of a bag" only existed in legends.
Even if someone's cultivation has reached the level of a Martial God, if they wanted to kill all the billions of mortals in this world, their only fate would be to die from exhaustion and coughing up blood.
Therefore, Xiao Chong deeply understood Yokoyama's act of deserting his post.
Understanding is one thing, but the fight must go on. Otherwise, once these wolf-faced silver bears storm into the city, no one in Tiannan Town will escape. The two exchanged another glance and simultaneously leaped onto the city wall.
At this moment, the beast horde outside the city was getting closer and closer. Seeing such an astonishing sight, the people who were originally standing on the city wall watching the excitement were terrified.
In the chaos, someone shouted, and everyone jumped off the city wall, ready to scatter like birds and beasts.
At this crucial moment, we must not lose our composure. If morale is low, the team will be difficult to lead. Looking at the chaotic crowd, Xiao Chong gestured towards Hengshan with his lip and made a throat-slitting gesture with his hand.
Yokoyama came from a prominent family and received various forms of training from a young age, so he naturally understood the principles behind it.
He instantly flipped over in mid-air, blocking everyone's path, and roared, "None of you are allowed to escape! Follow me and fight off the horde of beasts!"
Unfortunately, these people came from different places and different forces. In their panic, no one listened to anything. A few of the faster runners had already rushed to Yokoyama's side.
In this critical moment, Yokoyama truly demonstrated his decisive and ruthless nature. Seeing the situation, he didn't waste any words and immediately struck with a palm.
"Snapped!"
The person running in the lead was struck in the chest with a palm, and his body exploded like a water sac, splattering blood all over the faces of those around him.
Startled, the others who were fleeing all stopped, fearing that they might not be able to stop in time and would suffer the same fate as that person.
"Anyone who tries to escape again will be killed without exception!" Yokoyama snorted coldly, his face extremely ugly.
With a ferocious tiger blocking their path in front and a silver bear in pursuit behind, what were they to do? The fleeing men let out a wail of despair, but none of them dared to cross the line again.
There's no other way. Although the wolf-faced silver bear is fierce, it can be driven away. But if we anger Hengshan, how will we be able to get along in Tiannan Town in the future?
I've heard that people from powerful families like this love to settle scores later. If Yokoyama dies at the hands of the beasts, that would be the end of it all, but what if he doesn't? Would the Yoko family wipe out his entire clan?
Those who are sent to the Southern Wilderness to cultivate spiritual veins are all shrewd individuals. Even if their cultivation level is not high, none of them are fools. This principle is self-evident.
After figuring things out, everyone turned around and headed towards the city wall. Some of the more resourceful ones, wanting to leave a good impression on Yokoyama, had already started shouting slogans.
"Follow the mayor's orders and resolutely repel the wild beasts!"
"We swear to defend Tiannan Town to the death, and will never retreat a single step!"
"Wherever the mayor points, we'll fight!"
In an instant, the city walls were filled with shouts of battle, the momentum of which was like a rainbow, soaring straight into the sky!
Who are these people? Their manners are so low, they're even worse than the extras in my past life! Looking at the chaotic crowd in front of him, Xiao Chong felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
After sighing, Xiao Chong moved to Hengshan's side and suggested, "Brother Heng, we should hurry up and find reinforcements. I'm afraid that once the battle starts, none of these people will be of any use except to cause trouble."
"Hmm!" Yokoyama thought for a moment, nodded slightly, took out a small token from his pocket, and handed it to Yin Feng, saying, "Take this token and go to the city to gather men. Tell them that I will not mistreat them. Those teams that refuse to send men, make them bleed a good bet!"
That's right! A generous reward is what makes people brave! Since the reward doesn't have to come from their own pocket, the more the better.
Seeing Yin Feng turn to leave, Xiao Chong loudly instructed, "Remember to bring all the brothers from our camp here, and don't let the Situ siblings be idle either. They all came from the same family, so we can't neglect them."
"Understood!" Yin Feng nodded, turned around, and sped away.
At this moment, a herd of hundreds of wolf-faced silver bears had arrived at the city walls, howling and ramming their powerful bodies against the tightly closed gates.
"boom!"
The city gate trembled and creaked as it was violently struck by a silver bear with a wolf's face.
"This city gate is just for show. If it keeps being rammed like this, it'll probably be smashed to pieces." Yokoyama grabbed a spear from the person next to him, shouted, and threw it with all his might.
Because of their elevated position, the spear moved with incredible speed. All the onlookers heard was a soft "hum" in the air before the spear struck the head of the wolf-faced silver bear that was ramming the door, as fast as lightning.
The wolf-faced silver bear was charging into battle when it suddenly heard a whooshing sound above its head and looked up. But the moment it looked up, a spear pierced its eye socket and went all the way down to its tail.
The blow was powerful and heavy; the spear pierced through the wolf-faced silver bear's body and pinned it to the ground.
The poor wolf-faced silver bear didn't even have time to howl before it perished. However, because of the spear supporting it, its body didn't fall after death, standing outside the city gate like a newly appointed gatekeeper.
"May the mayor be mighty! He slaughtered the wild beasts until they ran for their lives!" someone in the crowd shouted.
Then the others joined in the shouting. Flattery and praise poured down from the city wall.
However, this wasn't without its advantages; the fear in many people's hearts gradually diminished.
"You damned wolf-faced silver bear, take this shot!"
Seeing the power of Yokoyama's spear, some people couldn't help but imitate him, also aiming at a wolf-faced silver bear and throwing their spears down with all their might.
The man was quite accurate; his spear whistled down, hitting the top of a wolf-faced silver bear squarely.
"it is good!"
"I hit it, I hit it!"
The crowd cheered again.
Amidst cheers, the spear suddenly sprang up and landed beside the wolf-faced silver bear. It turned out that while the man had good aim, his strength was far inferior to Hengshan's.
"Uh……"
"How could this be?"
"This is way too hard!"
When the spear failed to strike, the cheers of the crowd abruptly stopped, and mouths dropped to the floor.
"Let me do it!" In the silence, Xiao Chong walked to the side of a person who was in a daze and snatched a short spear from the other person's hand.
"Old Zhao's attack didn't work, can you do it? Old Zhao is a peak martial arts master." The person speaking muttered under his breath, clearly recognizing the guy who had just thrown the gun.
“Exactly! Look at how young you are, you probably haven’t even reached the Martial Apprentice realm yet, have you?” another person chimed in.
"If he wants to embarrass himself, let him embarrass himself!" This time, the person who spoke was even more sarcastic.
"Silence! This is the owner of Happy Forest, a genuine martial arts apprentice, and he's on good terms with Mayor Hengshan." Someone in the crowd recognized Xiao Chong and, given Xiao Chong's relationship with Hengshan, began to warn the gossipy people.
Upon hearing this last sentence, everyone fell silent, but a hint of disdain was clearly visible in their eyes.
Xiao Chong naturally wouldn't stoop to the level of this rabble. Without arguing, he simply weighed the short spear he had seized in his hand, let out a roar, and hurled it at a wolf-faced silver bear ten feet away.
Just now, even with the peak cultivation of a martial artist, you couldn't kill the wolf-faced silver bear when you were so close. Now you're going to throw it so far away. Are you making fun of everyone?
Everyone silently grumbled, their eyes following the trajectory of the short spear.
This short spear is neither too light nor too heavy, making it perfect for short to medium range throwing. Moreover, throwing a short spear, like throwing a javelin, requires not only strength, but also a combination of strength, speed, and angle; none of these can be lacking.
Needless to say, Xiao Chong's strength far surpasses that of ordinary martial arts apprentices. His speed relies on explosive power, which is precisely his strength. As for the angle, isn't it just a parabola? I learned that back in junior high school.
Therefore, Xiao Chong was not worried at all about the effect of this short spear.
"Whoosh!"
The short spear, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, streaked through the air like a silvery-white shadow, landing in a graceful arc into the horde of beasts, striking a wolf-faced silver bear squarely in the heart.
"Swoosh!" A jet of blood shot out as the short spear pierced more than a foot deep.
The wolf-faced silver bear roared, its two giant paws gripping the short spear. After struggling for a while, it finally collapsed to the ground, utterly dead.
"Hiss..." A series of teeth-smacking sounds rang out from the city wall, as if everyone had a toothache.
