Chapter 220: Monster Tide Begins
” Huh? What is it, Lu Yi?”
” Nothing…I just felt something weird.” Lu Yi replied as he stopped chopping wood.
” You noticed something? The animals…The forest animals feel restless.”
They looked at the sky and saw birds rushing away with frantic chirps. The forest beasts also felt restless as smaller animals were running chaotically.
” Could it be, some demonic beast is nearby?”
” That’s absurd. There are many demonic beasts territory in the Nanhai Mountain. The beasts in those areas remains orderly.”
” Could it be something even more dangerous is coming?”
” AARRGHHHH!!”
Lu Yi and the other wood chopper were stunned as they heard a cry of a human.
” What is it?”
” Wait! Look there!”
Their heart turned chilled when heard some crunching sound, as if something muching on tough bones. As they remained on the tree tops, they could see anything happening in far.
” Heavens! What are those monsters?”
” Dark monsters! Those are Dark monsters!”
” Fuck! Let’s escape!”
But it was too late. Lu Yi just got down. But before he could yell at his partner, he saw something falling from the top of the tree with a thud.
” Hu-Huhh?!!”
Lu Yi’s body turned cold as he saw his partner was lying dead on the ground, with a small arrow stuck in his eye.
*KEKEKEKEKE*
Turning around, he saw small dark humanoid monsters slowly approaching, each holding a different weapon.
*sWISH! SWISH!*
Two arrow shot towards Lu Yi. However, as he was standing near a tree, Lu Yi quickly ducked, saving his life.
‘ I need to escape! I need to alarm the villagers!’
Lu Yi clenched his teeth as he sprinted towards the village.
” Monsters! Monsters are incoming!”
” Hurry up! Hurry and esca-”
Lu Yi halted his steps as he saw smokes coming from far. His heart beat sped up with an ominious thought as he rushed forward.
” Monster! Monsters!”
” Someone save us!”
” Help! Someone, please help!”
” Arrgh!”
From far, Lu Yi saw the village smeared with fire and blood. Small humanoid monsters rampaged everywhere as the entire village was in chaos.
However, the situation wasn’t as bad as he expected.
” Gather and slay the dark goblins!”
” Get into the formations! Spearmen! Attack!”
‘ Evacuate women and children first. Gather the men to defend the rear!”
‘The army of the Cau Family! They are the patrolling army!’ Lu Yi was elated as he rushed towards them.
” Who is it?”
” My lord!” Lu Yi shouted. ” Monsters are incoming! They are coming from that side of the forest!”
” What?” The squad leader was stunned when he heard that.” You are saying more monsters are coming?”
” Arrgh!”
Suddenly, the squad leader looked forward and heard a soldier screaming.
” What…What the hell is that?”
” Is that a person?”
” Bastard! Does that being looks like a living thing?”
The squad leader’s body chilled as he saw a few humanoid figures walking towards them.
They looked exactly like humans, but their sockets were empty. Their flesh was completely pale with a bluish hue. They walked like stiff dolls, with a terrible stench coming from them.
” Jiangshi…Are those Jiangshi?”
” Fuck! You think we can defend against a Jiangshi?”
” No, Those are not…powerful as a Jinagshi! Hurry up and attack!”
The soldiers holding spears marched forward as they stabbed the walking undead.
” RAAHHH!”
” GRAHH!”
The undead faltered as the spears stabbed them. But their skin was pretty tough. And even the spear pierced them, no blood cam out.
” Damn it! They aren’t stopping even after getting tabbed!”
” What should we do?”
” ARRGH!”
Suddenly, the group of undead threw themselves on a soldier. Their nails and teeth dug into his flesh, making him scream while blood splattered from his body.
” Damn it! Aim their head! Destroy their head first!”
*SWISH! SWISHH!*
The squad leader moved forward as his saber slashed out. He beheaded three undead at the same time.
The heads rolled on the ground as their mouths still clattered. But their body became sluggish as they crawled on the ground.
” Sve him!”
” I…I can’t move my body…I…”
The injured soldier quivered as he fainted. His veins turned green and his body turned stiff, making him unable to get up.
” This is…This looks like poison.”
” Don’t let those creatures bite you! Their teeth look poisonous!”
” RAAHHHH!”
The squad leader’s expression turned grave as he saw another bunch of undead walking towards them.
Not to mention, the dark goblins were also crawling towards them.
” Fire the the signal arrow!”
” Ask for reinforcement…”
But before they could do it, they had already seen a signal flare crackling in the sky.
*BOOOOM!*
” This…”
The squad leader’s expression turned happy. ” Heavens! It’s the flare of Silver Lightning Cavalry! They are coming as reinforcement!”
” Hurry and gather near the entrance of the village. It’s a good place to defend against the monsters.”
” Yes! Just defend till the Silver Lightning Cavalry comes!”
However, before they could do anything, a ball of fireball descended on them.
The squad leader’s expression changed as he raised his saber and made a cleaving motion.
*BOOOM!!*
Flame burst around the squad leader, but his arms were still charred.
*JIE JIE JIE*
The Squad leader’s expression turned dark as he saw a hooded figure behind the dark goblins, wearing a necklace of human bones.
” Goblin…Goblin Shaman!”
” Get up your shields and retreat.” The squad leader shouted loudly.
” Archers! Get the archers and tell them to shoot down that bastard!”
” Steady retreat! Steady retreat!”

Cai Yunhai was sitting in the court as a soldier came running.
” What? A monster tide is happening near the Nanhai Mountain?”
” A dark monster tide with undeads?”
The entire court of magistrates was thrown into chaos when the soldier revealed the news.
” Our army is still in the training ground, isn’t it?” Cai Yunhai stood up.
” Immediately, give them orders! Supply the necessary things and send them out!”
The entire Nanhai City fell into an alarmed state as the soldiers of the Cai Family marched toward the Nanhai Mountain forest.
The city gates were occupied by the City Guards. City Lord Suo’s face was serious as he heard the reports from his subordinates.
” City Lord, Should we send the Flame Feather Troops?”
The Flame Feather Legion is the legion under the City Lord of Nanhai City’s command. It was bestowed to him by the Imperial Family of the Great Yan Empire.
The City Lord is the medium who commands the Flame Feather Legion. With each use, he has to give accountability to the imperial family.
” No, only mobilize half of them and stand around the premise of the main city.” City Lord Suo spoke in a light voice.
” But City Lord, This is a monster tide. Should we not help the Cai Family to…”
” Do they need help?” City Lord Suo glared at his confidant. ” My job is to protect the main city. Besides, I don’t think it’s a big tide. Cai Family’s Silver Lightning Cavalry is more than enough for it.”
” As City Lord wishes…”
The old man nodded as he bowed lightly.
‘ Heh, Perhaps this is the opportunity that person was talking about?’ City Lord Suo’s lips curled.
‘ Since that’s the case, they must have planned to drag down the Cai Family entirely. Hehe, how can I not use this chance?’
‘ Let them fight the monsters. If the imperial family asks for an explanation, I will say that I was protecting the main city.’
‘ Heh, Cai Yunhai, Soon I shall take my revenge.’
Meanwhile, In Cai Family…
Cai Yixue took a deep breath as she opened the door, speaking a soft yet quivering voice.
” It has begun.”
Jia Hao exhaled a mouthful of turbid air as he nodded. Sitting up, she saw Cai Yixue walking towards him, with Minmin behind her.
” Here, Let me prepare you.”
” En, What’s this, Wife?”
” This is Silver Feather Armor, a mid grade magical treasure.” Cai Yixue lifted the armor and donned it in Jia Hao. ” There are only three of them in the house.”
” This will help you in today’s battle.”
” Thank you, Wife.” Jia Hao spoke in a soft voice. ” Haha, Don’t worry, I shall return triumphantly.”
” After all, I am too possessive to leave you to a young widow.”
” Crow Mouth!”
” Crow Mouth!”
Both Minmin and Cai Yixue spoke at the same time, making Jia Hao stun.
” Can’t you make a better joke?” Cai Yixue chided. ” You just…Come back, without injuries, ok?”
” Young Lord, If you don’t, then I will take all the money from your shampoo business.” Minmin also joined in.
” Hehe, Fine, My ladies.” Jia Hao smiled as he placed his saber behind him.
” Have you supplied everything to the soldiers?”
” Yes, All the Evil Exocising Talismans and Purification Talismans were sent to the troops.”
” Very well, Then allow me to cleanse these beasts.” Jia Hao took a deep breath and walked forward.
” You have also gotten ready?” Cai Yunhai and Old Yang stood outside, before a bunch of elite guards.
” Yes, Father in Law.” Jia Hao nodded. ” We should go now.”
” March forward!”
” Let’s vanquish the evil beings once again!” Cai Yunhai shouted.
” Vanquish Evil! Vanquish Evil!”
Soon, his gaze fell on a group of people, who wore long robes with taoist patterns.
” Magistrate Cai, The Fuzhuan Temple has sent us to assist you.”
Jia Hao nodded when he saw them. ” Please, Our guards shall protect you. All you need to do is to kill the powerful undead.”
” Yes, Young Lord Jia.”
” Then, Let’s go.”
