C473 boundless desert (1/2)

After Yang Yong received the battle report of the garrison troops at the western border of Tianyuan Empire for help, he brought Yang Long and Yang Hu over overnight. Although the journey was long and due to the critical battle situation, Yang Yong and the other two did not rest. After swapping mounts for horses, they finally reached the western border after a day and a night of galloping.

On the border of the Western Desert, there was a huge castle that was dozens of meters tall. The endless city walls separated the Tianyuan Empire from the Western Desert. When Yang Yong and the rest arrived at the top of the castle, they couldn't help sucking in a breath of cold air when they saw the ferocious beasts that were attacking them from the outside.

This was because, as the report stated, there were too many giant beasts that came to attack. In the past, there were only one or two giant beasts that attacked here, but this time, there were over a hundred giant beasts!

This was the Western Desert, so the giant beasts that appeared were usually living in the desert, such as giant lizards, mammoths, giant lions, giant pythons that were tens of meters long, and so on. These giant beasts, in the past, were already hard to deal with if one or two appeared here, because these giant beasts were not only huge in size, but also incomparably powerful in strength.

However, what they did not expect was that more than a hundred of them would appear this time, which was an unprecedented calamity for the Tianyuan Empire, because if these huge beasts attacked the Tianyuan Empire, then they would definitely cause huge damage, so they would not be able to enter the Tianyuan Empire.

After arriving here, Yang Yong immediately began to organize his soldiers to counterattack. Naturally, they could not take the initiative to attack. Facing so many huge beasts, if they took the initiative to attack, their losses would be even greater. At this time, the only thing they could do was defend this castle and prevent these beasts from going past it and attacking the Tianyuan Empire.

On top of the huge castle, the stone catapults were already shooting giant rocks at the beasts in front of them. Rows after rows of them would take turns to shoot those giant beasts with their arrows, but those giant beasts had rough skin and thick flesh. Even if the huge rocks hit them, it would only cause them a little bit of pain, and when the arrows hit them, they wouldn't even be able to penetrate their skin!

Although this kind of attack could not truly injure the behemoth advancing towards the castle, it was still able to stop them for a while, but it was only able to stop them for a short while. As time passed, the giant rock that was used as a catapult was gone, and the soldiers' bows and arrows were all used up.

Seeing this situation, Yang Yong knew that he could only lead his soldiers to go out and block these giant beasts. Although many soldiers would die because of this, Yang Yong didn't want to see this kind of scene, but other than this, there was no other way.

In order to protect the Tianyuan Empire, there was no choice no matter how many soldiers he sacrificed. This was the duty of an Empire's soldier! Yang Yong pulled out the long blade in his waist and was about to ask his soldiers to open the city gates and rush out with him to kill those giant beasts, when suddenly, a huge black cloud floated over from the direction of the Tianyuan Empire.

The black cloud rapidly approached the direction of the castle. Yang Yong could vaguely see that in the midst of the huge black cloud, there was a pair of blood colored wings flapping from time to time. A deafening roar came from the black cloud, and upon hearing it, all the beasts attacking the castle stopped in their tracks, looking up at the black cloud in fear.

The black clouds gradually dispersed and a huge beast that was over 800 meters long appeared in front of everyone. White scales, blood-red wings, and a very powerful appearance, this was a huge beast that had never appeared before in the Tianyuan Empire, so they did not know what it was. Everyone immediately became extremely nervous, afraid that this beast was also here to attack the Tianyuan Empire.

Just at this moment, a man and a woman suddenly fell from the body of that huge beast. When they saw them, Yang Yong and the other two let out a breath of relief, knowing that Tianyuan Empire had saved them today. The people who had come were naturally Yang Feng and Yang Yun. When Yang Yong and the others saw that Yang Feng had arrived, they were naturally no longer worried about the attacks from the huge beasts.

Looking at the gigantic beast that Yang Feng was riding on, they knew that even without Yang Feng doing anything, this gigantic beast alone was enough to deal with the beasts that were attacking them. It was just that Yang Yong and the rest found it strange, when did Yang Feng had such a huge beast? Why hadn't they seen it following by Yang Feng's side?

Yang Feng brought Yang Yun and landed on the castle. Then, he said to Xiao Qing who was hovering over his head, ”Xiao Qing, I'll leave these things to you!”

Seeing those huge beasts that came to attack, Yang Feng didn't plan to attack, but rather let Xiao Qing handle them. Yang Feng saw that these huge beasts could cultivate to become demon beasts, so he had no prejudice towards demon beasts. If they could not be killed, then he would not kill them, so Yang Feng left Yang Feng to Xiao Qing to deal with them, and let Xiao Qing chase them away.

After Little Green heard Yang Feng's words, she spread out her huge blood wings and landed in front of the huge beasts that were sprawled on the ground after being intimidated by Little Blue's immense pressure. Then, she began to expel those huge beasts. However, those huge beasts didn't leave when Xiaoqing drove them away. Instead, they lay prostrate on the ground, crying out to her.

After Little Green heard the words of those huge beasts, she flapped her blood wings and flew back above Yang Feng. She changed her body, shrunk to about two feet and landed on Yang Feng's shoulder, then said to Yang Feng, ”Master, they didn't come to attack these people, but because someone was afraid of them. If they didn't come, their lives would have been in danger.”

Everyone on the castle was very surprised to hear Xiaoqing speak. None of them had ever seen a giant beast that could change its size, much less see a giant beast that could speak. As for Yang Yun who heard Xiaoqing's words, his eyes turned into peach hearts, as if he wished he could swallow Xiaoqing whole.
