Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 63 Desperate Situation
At this time, Xie Tong was also fighting on the front line of the battlefield. He held a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right hand. Looking at a hungry wolf that was pouncing on him, he swung his shield hard and knocked it away, then stabbed another hungry wolf next to him in the abdomen with his knife.

Who knew that this hungry wolf was so ferocious that it actually allowed its abdomen to be cut open, with a large amount of colorful internal organs flowing out, and it bit Xie Tong's left leg.

The severe pain from his leg made Xie Tong twitch. He took a deep breath and swung his knife again to chop off the wolf's head. The smelly and hot wolf blood sprayed all over his body. Even so, the wolf head still bit his calf tightly and refused to let go.

The worst thing was that at this moment, another wild wolf pounced on him, and its wet tongue even touched his neck. The fishy and warm breath made goose bumps appear on his skin.

Xie Tong's heart suddenly turned cold:
"I have been a talented person for many years but have not been recognized. I have just been recognized by the Fifth Young Master and there is a glimmer of hope in my life. Am I going to die here?"

Suddenly, the wild wolf was kicked away, and it also knocked away the other two companions who were about to pounce on it.

Immediately afterwards, there was a flash of sharp knife light, and the four wild wolves with red eyes nearby were beheaded and howled, and flew out, which immediately relieved the pressure on the surrounding soldiers!
This was when Gong Tianwu took action. He then rushed directly to the most chaotic place on the village wall - there, a transformed wild boar demon rushed up, looking ferocious and crazy, holding a heavy axe, and directly forced the defenders to retreat.

But after Gong Tianwu rushed forward, he shouted "Kill" and at the same time used the True Feather Heart Sutra to activate the sound attack technique!

Sure enough, as Gong Tianwu shouted the word "kill", the transformed pig demon suddenly froze in place. Gong Tianwu did not attempt the more physically demanding beheading this time. Instead, he raised an iron-forged wolf-tooth arrow in his left hand and stabbed it fiercely into the pig's eye socket.

In an instant, fresh blood spurted out. The arrow penetrated more than two feet deep into the brain.

The transformed pig demon was hit hard by this, and let out a painful howl, then quickly turned his head and retreated.

But it was on the wall of the village at this time, and it immediately fell backwards after retreating. Even though it was under the wall, it was still able to get up again and swing the heavy axe in its hand wildly, causing a lot of indiscriminate damage. It took more than ten seconds before it died of exhaustion, which shows how tenacious its vitality is.

After killing the transformed wild boar demon, Gong Tianwu seemed to have realized something and began to restrain his murderous intent. He mingled among the soldiers and made a presence of his own. However, not long after, another lizard demon rushed up.

This guy was holding a steel fork, and the most perverted thing about it was that he would spin around and whip the people nearby with the tail, which could directly knock all the people nearby to the ground, and at the same time cause considerable damage, causing chaos among the defenders.

But Gong Tianwu was mixed in with a large group of soldiers at this time. He suddenly attacked and used the sound attack technique. The lizard demon was hit again and stood there for two seconds. As a result, Gong Tianwu successfully attacked it again and shot an arrow into its eye and killed it.

In the next half hour, Gong Tianwu seized the opportunity to kill an elite rat spirit.

Powerful elite monsters were killed in battle one after another, and what was more important was that their deaths were inexplicable. Obviously, the high-level commanders of the monster tide also began to feel that something was wrong. After all, the minions and half-demons in the monster tide did not feel sad at all when they died, but this kind of transformed monsters were the core backbone, and it was difficult to replace them if they died.

So the order to retreat was quickly given, and the defenders needless to say also gained valuable rest time.

At this time, Gong Tianwu found that playing dirty was indeed more comfortable. If it were the previous situation, it would be almost impossible for him to fight against these three elite monsters alone. He would even use up all his energy after defeating two of them at most! However, it was particularly worry-free to attack in a chaotic situation like this. Killing the three elite monsters only consumed less than one-third of his energy.

Looking at the demon tide receding like the tide, Gong Tianwu let out a long sigh of relief, then walked along the village wall.

During this process, Gong Tianwu would help the wounded when he met them, and pat them on the shoulders and scold them when he met acquaintances. These men who had sworn allegiance to swords and blood oaths were just fooled by this, and they were extremely excited to see that the fifth young master, who had fought side by side with them, was so approachable.

Soon, Gong Tianwu met Xie Zhengyuan. He was urgently dealing with a series of matters - the allocation of supplies, the treatment of the wounded, the order of rotation, etc. When he saw Gong Tianwu, he immediately stood up and said with a smile:
"Old Five, you're here. It's a good thing you took action earlier."

Gong Tianwu smiled and said:
"You're talking about this kind of thing?"

Xie Zhengyuan looked into the distance and said in a relaxed tone:

"Your attack earlier directly hurt the opponent. The number of beasts in this group is limited. They should not dare to come again in the short term."

"Just then, mother sent someone to say that the meal is ready and asked when we can come over to eat. Let's go! Let's go back and greet you, Lao Wu."

Gong Tianwu nodded after hearing this.

Soon, all members of the Xie family finally gathered together. Xie Zhengyuan's wife also came with her two children. The two children were very lively and cute. The boy even giggled and hugged Gong Tianwu's legs, calling him "Uncle Five", showing the joy of family.

Because of this, although the food is simple, it tastes exceptionally delicious and everyone is very happy.

At this time, Old Man Xie had basically recovered after taking the medicine. He first made sure that there was no unusual movement outside the village, and then ordered some outstanding officers to be invited over for a chat and encouragement, and then offered them a glass of wine.

It is true that Old Man Xie is a master at managing his subordinates. It is indeed easier to win their hearts by chatting and toasting with them in an environment similar to a family dinner.

At this moment, Gong Tianwu suddenly thought of something and said:
"Dad, big brother, sister-in-law, and everyone present, I want to ask a favor."

At this time, Gong Tianwu had great prestige both at home and in the army because he led by example and was very powerful. As soon as he spoke, everyone else stopped talking and looked over.

"As the saying goes, a clay pot is bound to break near a well, and a general is bound to die in battle. I still want to entrust you with something."

After hearing this, Old Man Xie frowned immediately, but then Gong Tianwu continued:
"I was happy to avenge my enemies in Yidu before, but I also owed a big favor to someone. To describe it as a life-saving favor is too light and shallow."

"But this person has a strange personality. I promised not to reveal his identity. So if someone comes to me in the future and says the three words Gong Mingzhen, it means that this person or his descendants should be asked to meet their requests as much as possible."

"If I am already dead by then, then I will give this relic of mine to him. If I cannot do this, I will die with regret!"

As Gong Tianwu spoke, he placed the storage bag he had exchanged for on the table.

Because it involved a matter of life and death, the atmosphere was a bit dull. No one spoke for a while. Gong Tianwu looked at his eldest brother Xie Zhengyuan. After the two brothers' eyes met, Xie Zhengyuan sighed in his heart and said simply:
"Old Five, I got it. I'll take care of it. Eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables!"

***
That night, the demon tribe did not attack, and did not even harass them, which allowed everyone in Xiejiazhuang to sleep well.

But when the sky was getting light, a huge wave of beasts came again! !
After repelling two waves of beasts in succession, Gong Tianwu was wiping the blood off the blade when Xie Zhengyuan came over and said with a smile:
"By the way, Dad brought you a message. Come over here and I'll tell you in detail."

As he spoke, Xie Zhengyuan brought Gong Tianwu to the corner tower next to him, and then dismissed his attendants. The others thought it was normal. After all, it was reasonable for Mr. Xie not to let outsiders hear the private words he gave to his own son.

But as soon as he entered the corner tower, Xie Zhengyuan's face suddenly darkened:

"We can't hold on any longer, Lao Wu. You are very skilled in martial arts. Take my parents and my family away now! I will stay behind to cover our retreat. If we don't leave now, it will be too late."

Gong Tianwu frowned and said:

"how?"

Xie Zhengyuan said bitterly:
"The enemy should have sent reinforcements in the middle of the night! The number of enemies we have to face has doubled. Moreover, there is also the demon king Tu Li on the other side. Although our village is well built and has many defensive measures, it is difficult to survive in the face of such a large number of enemies."

"In fact, if you hadn't made a move just now, my last trump card would have been forced out."

Gong Tianwu looked outside and said:
"Let's go together."

Xie Zhengyuan shook his head slowly:

"I can't leave. To defend a place, morale is the most important thing. If I don't see you and me stepping up to take charge of the situation when the monsters attack the city next time, the defense line won't last more than an incense stick of time."

Gong Tianwu turned his head and looked outside, and said slowly:
"Brother, our enemy is not human, but a demonic tide. Even if I take people away as you wish, we can't get away because they have eyes in the sky, and there are many pairs of them."

After hearing what Gong Tianwu said, Xie Zhengyuan's face suddenly changed color. He stood up suddenly, but then slowly sat back down with a deathly pale face.

Gong Tianwu said seriously:
"Brother, don't think too much, just fight!! Only a fight to the death will give you a glimmer of hope!! Aren't there enough examples of the weak defeating the strong throughout history?"

"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. What if the demon king Tu Li loses his patience and wants to be killed by us? What if reinforcements are on the way?"

After hearing what Gong Tianwu said, Xie Zhengyuan's eyes gradually regained their spirits.
Then the demon wave came again.
Gong Tianwu continued to use sneak attack and ambush tactics, killing a total of nine elite demon tribe members and repelling a total of six demon waves.

However, as the only high-end combat force on the human side, Gong Tianwu was also closely watched, and then an elite half-demon team was sent out to carry out a targeted siege.

This immediately pinpointed Gong Tianwu's weakness: lack of endurance.

He is more like an assassin lurking in the shadows, striking and running away, killing with one blow. However, the key to this style of play lies in the word "assassination". Once exposed, even a top master like Qiang Ruo Wuming can only be shot against the wall.

When the seventh wave of demons attacked, Gong Tianwu was carried away directly. His skull was shattered and there was a bowl-sized penetrating wound on his abdomen. His internal organs were clearly visible.

The enemy did not get away with it either, as they paid the price of four elite demons in order to surround and kill him.

At the same time, the entire beast tide demon army lost more than 300 half-demons and 14 elite demons on the wall of Xiejiazhuang! And the dead cannon fodder beast minions were countless.

But after Gong Tianwuyi withdrew, Xiejiazhuang, which lacked high-end combat power, immediately fell into a more difficult situation. If an elite demon rushed over, they would have to pay with the lives of those well-trained soldiers! !
If this battle was not a brutal one between races, where surrender was impossible, I believe the soldiers who participated in the battle would have surrendered on a large scale long ago.
***
Gong Tianwu was awakened by the pain.

After waking up, he found himself leaning against a pillar. Because the internal energy had been exhausted, the hidden dangers in his body had erupted completely, and his internal organs felt as if they were being stabbed by a red-hot knife and were in severe pain.

At the same time, he had extremely serious external injuries. His skull was broken into five or six pieces. The blood flowing from the wound on his stomach dyed the ground red, and his intestines were more than half a foot long flowing out of his body.

To be honest, with such serious internal and external injuries, an ordinary person would have died long ago. It is only because Gong Tianwu is a congenital master with a vitality as strong as a cockroach that he has survived until now.

After squinting his eyes and looking around, Gong Tianwu stood up with great difficulty, his legs shaking constantly.

He needed to hold on to the railing to walk to the fence in front of him, leaving bloody footprints with every step. Then he looked into the distance and realized that the setting sun in the sky was as red as blood and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

The entire Xiejiazhuang is somewhat similar to the structure of Fusang Mountain City. It is built on the steep terrain, with layer upon layer. The building built on the highest point is the owner's mansion.

Of course, this is also the most solid building in the entire village, and the purpose is to use this place as the last line of defense.

At this time, the houses in the manor owner's mansion were already crowded with wounded people, as well as the elderly, the weak, women and children!

The place where Gong Tianwu was at this time was the Yinxing Tower in the owner's mansion, which was also the place with the widest view in the entire mansion.

It's a pity that all Gong Tianwu sees now is despair and misery!!

He saw the village chief again, but unfortunately this stubborn old man could no longer speak. His eyes were wide open, his face was twisted in pain, his head was still barely intact, but his limp body was already tattered and bloody.

There were four wild wolves that pounced on it and devoured it greedily, even sticking their heads into its abdomen to gnaw on the dark red internal organs, and constantly making low growls of satisfaction from their throats.

Three meters away from the corpse of the village chief was the badly bitten body of Cheng Hu. These two men must have joined forces to fight the enemy when they were alive, but they died together in the end.
