However, after a short while, a blue escape light descended from the sky nearby, and a black-robed, bald-headed man arrived. This man had a strong aura and was at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.
Seeing the two-headed snake wreaking havoc on this section of the city wall, the man's expression turned furious. He rubbed his hands together, and a fiery red gourd appeared in his hand. Flames burst out from it, instantly burning the spreading poisonous mist into wisps of green smoke.
Giant fireballs were sprayed out from it, attacking the two-headed snake. It looked like the situation had been stabilized.
But the entire city wall section was not just this place. As time passed, many city wall areas were breached, and even high-level cultivators were killed or injured.
Even more tragic were the mortals and cultivators guarding these areas, who basically had no chance of escape. Not to mention the terrifying high-level wild beasts, the large number of low-level beast hordes that rushed in caused them heavy casualties.
Only some Golden Core cultivators were able to escape by chance.
In some places, even the Golden Core cultivators, low-level cultivators, and a large number of mortals guarding the area died together in battle. The battle situation was fierce, and the casualties were heavy.
Of course, facing this kind of breached area, Sect Leader Sun and the other elders who were originally stationed there were not just watching.
They also each led some carefully selected Foundation Establishment disciples, forming small teams, to reinforce these areas. These teams were pre-arranged reinforcement teams, just in case this situation occurred.
With the addition of Sect Leader Sun and others, they were able to barely cope, preventing the low-level cultivators and mortals on the city wall from suffering too many casualties.
After this wave of beast tide lasted for more than two hours, the number of wild beast groups gradually decreased, and eventually they still defended Flying Cloud City.
After the second wave of beast tide, the mortals were either lying or sitting on the city wall to rest.
Although many cultivators were also killed or injured, most of the remaining people went down to the city wall to collect materials from the wild beasts' bodies.
Zhang Ling was no exception, collecting all the bodies of the high-level wild beasts below the city wall. The second wave of beast tide was fierce, and the section of the city wall he was responsible for was attacked by more than a dozen high-level wild beasts.
Especially the group of giant eagle demon birds that appeared not long ago, among which there were eleven high-level ones. The golden giant eagle was still a seventh-level wild beast. There were also seven or eight other types of high-level wild beasts.
At this time, Sect Leader Sun and the other elders also returned to a turret on the city wall and were discussing something.
"Junior Brother Wang, what are the losses?" Sect Leader Sun asked without turning his head, holding a jade slip in his hand. A middle-aged man with a dark face immediately said.
"Sect Leader, several sections of the city wall were destroyed in this wave of beast tide. Five to sixty thousand mortals were killed or injured, and seven to eight thousand of our cultivators were also killed or injured, but most of them were Qi Refinement cultivators, which is fine. It won't have a big impact on the next wave of beast tide, but four Golden Core fellow practitioners have fallen, and seven or eight others have been seriously injured and will be difficult to recover in a short time. If we lack these dozen fellow practitioners to defend the city in the next wave of beast tide, I'm afraid it will be bad."
Sect Leader Sun and the other elders all looked gloomy when they heard this. After a moment of silence, the Sect Leader instructed.
"Mortal martial artists, transfer some more people from the city to defend the city. Only the losses of our high-level cultivators are difficult to make up for. Let's do this, use the sect's cloud beasts, and the beast blood collected before should also come in handy. It is enough to condense several cloud beasts with considerable strength."
"Sect Leader, cloud beasts are not easy to refine, it would be a pity to use them like this." An old man with a bald head couldn't help but change his expression when he heard the Sect Leader's instructions.
"Hmph, Junior Brother Xue, what time is it? The next wave of beast tide will definitely be more fierce, and Flying Cloud City is in danger of being breached." A black-robed man glanced at the bald old man with disdain.
"If we don't use cloud beasts, unless we invite Uncle Lu, but Uncle Lu is stationed in the sect and will not be easily dispatched. If we can't even defend against a few waves of beast tide, we will inevitably be punished by Uncle Lu."
"Okay, you two have lived for hundreds of years, what are you arguing about here? This beast tide is indeed different from usual, and adding cloud beasts will ensure that nothing goes wrong. If a Yellow Spirit of the level of a transformed demon beast really appears, Uncle will take action himself. All of you brothers, prepare to go, presumably in a few days, the next wave of beast tide will form." Sect Leader Sun glanced at the elders beside him and instructed expressionlessly.
At this time, the faces of these people were not as relaxed as before.
Outside the city wall of Flying Cloud City, a large group of cultivators were busy collecting wild beast materials.
At the same time, more than a dozen elders of Flying Cloud Sect led disciples proficient in formations, using various spells to repair the sections of the city wall that had been breached before.
For cultivators, repairing the city wall is simple, but it is not easy to engrave formations on it and connect the entire city protection formation, so the task of these people is very arduous.
Let's talk about Zhang Ling, he has already collected all the high-level wild beasts in the section of the city wall he was responsible for.
A total of sixteen relatively intact high-level wild beast corpses were obtained, eight of which were contributed by the group of giant eagles.
The materials of this high-level demon bird are much more precious than ordinary materials, especially the giant eagle's feathers, which are rare materials for refining flying magic weapons.
After collecting these materials, he returned directly to the cave and began to process these materials. But after half an hour, two people came to the outside of the cave.
Zhang Ling was quite surprised that it was Sect Leader Sun who visited with a red-faced old man. Although he didn't know why the Sect Leader suddenly visited, he naturally couldn't refuse the Sect Leader outside the door.
"Junior Brother Hu, are you used to living in this cave?" After the few people sat down, Sect Leader Sun asked with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, Sect Leader." Zhang Ling also replied with a smile, and then directly asked, "I wonder what Sect Leader is looking for me for."
Now is a special period, in theory, the Sect Leader should be the busiest, and should not visit suddenly. Zhang Ling guessed that these two must have something to do.
"Haha, it seems that Junior Brother Hu is still an impatient person, then Sun will just say it directly. Junior Brother, you have shown great power in this wave of beast tide, have you killed a lot of high-level demon birds? Now the beast tide is fierce, and the sect is in urgent need of a batch of high-level demon bird feathers, Junior Brother, can you..."
Sect Leader Sun directly stated his intention, and Zhang Ling was slightly surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that he came for this matter.
He couldn't help but slander in his heart, the Sect Leader's news is really well-informed, he came to the door only half an hour after it happened.
It's just that suddenly asking for high-level wild beast feathers made him feel quite strange. Could it be that he wants to refine some magic weapon?
But now the beast tide is in front of him, even if he can refine a magic weapon in a few days, it will probably not be very powerful, and it doesn't seem to be of much help in resisting the beast tide.
"Can Junior Brother ask a question, I wonder what Sect Leader needs high-level feathers for?" Zhang Ling asked out of curiosity after a moment of silence.
The Sect Leader smiled and looked at the red-faced old man next to him. "This Senior Brother Qi is the sect's refining master, let Senior Brother Qi answer Junior Brother's questions."
The red-faced old man just nodded slightly, clapped his hand and took out something that was half a foot long.
