Chapter 2175: A Group Of Beggars (4)
The wild animals knew that they could not reach the 20 men, so they decided to change targets. Instantly, they lunged towards the helpless villagers that waited for their entry at the gate. The villagers were scattered. While waiting, some decided to stand; others took their seats. Upon seeing the beasts approaching, they panicked.
The beasts were smart enough to tell which ones were the weaker ones. Therefore, most of the beasts chose to attack women and children. Tie Dan, Tie Niu, and their men were eager to save their family from the attack, so they fought the beasts to the best of their abilities to keep them away. Nonetheless, they were obviously outnumbered by the abundance of ferocious beasts surrounding them. Even with the help of Zhao Fengxing and his men, they were not able to keep everyone safe.
The villagers were in a frenzied state to stay alive. The children were crying; the adults were screaming for help. It was complete chaos. Some were too nervous to care about which way to run. They ran towards the suspension bridge that was still slowly moving down.
"You are not allowed on the bridge!" A voice came from the top of the walls. Instantly, the guard commanded the release of an arrow, and it almost hit the foot of the first man. "I will kill anyone who steps foot on the bridge!"
The command of the guard was very alarming. Apparently, they were not willing to give in. After the entry of the 20 men with the spiritual crystal, the guard raised the bridge back up. Upon seeing their hope slowly disappear, the villagers grew even more anxious.
"The array formation! Get back into formation!" Zhao Fengxing was the only one with a clear mind at the time. The villagers recalled the array formation that they used during their escape from the valley and quickly scrambled back into formation. Unfortunately, since they were being attacked, it was difficult for them to do so.
