Chapter 221: The North Wall
The beasts were getting closer.
From the top of the northern wall, Yan Lin could see them clearly now—hundreds of them, packed together so tightly that they were stepping over each other. Their claws dug deep into the ground, kicking up dirt and dust as they ran. Their thick fur bristled as they moved, wild and twisted, and their eyes burned with madness.
They didn’t stop or slow down at all, the worst thing as they got closer to the wall, there eyes become more frenzy.
They were literally coming to tear everything apart.
Yan Lin took a deep breath and raised her hands. She didn’t need to see what was under the earth. She already knew—there was water trapped deep in the soil. With a sharp motion, she called it up. Thick vines shot out of the ground, crashing into the front line of beasts and dragging them down. The creatures slammed into the dirt, their bodies twisting and growling as they struggled to get free.
"Hold the left side! Don’t let them climb!" someone shouted.
"I see them!" Chen Wei’s voice came from a few steps away. He was already moving.
One moment he was standing near her, and the next, he was gone—just a blur of speed. He rushed along the top of the wall, blades in hand. Every time a beast tried to leap up, Chen Wei was there first—cutting their throat, stabbing through their skull, or kicking them off with a burst of speed.
Even so, one of the larger ones managed to scratch his arm. Blood trickled down, but he didn’t stop.
"Damn things are getting smarter," he muttered, backing off for just a second to catch his breath.
Near the center of the wall, Yun Shou stood with his arms raised, electricity building around him. Sparks danced across his fingers, and his twin daggers floated beside him, crackling with blue light.
