Douluo: Join Tang San, and I will accept Xiao Wu!

Chapter 187, The Fate of the Meng Family
Meng Bei and others walked through the snow. The wind and snow in the Far North were getting stronger. In this situation, the visibility of ordinary people would not exceed five meters.

In the unknown snow and wind, it seemed as if countless greedy and hungry eyes were staring at them.

If it weren't for the strong aura of Meng Bei and his companions, they would probably have been devoured by these ferocious predators in the wind and snow.

As mentioned before, there are two mountain ranges in the far north, one is the Ice God Mountain Range and the other is the Mad Axe Mountain Range.

Under these two mountain ranges are the Snow Wolf City and the Snow Fox City, two of the three cities in the far north.

Every winter, when the wind and snow expand and the soul beasts are hungry and cold, many soul beasts will migrate outward in groups to devour humans. At this time, the Snow Wolf and Snow Fox Cities located under the two mountain ranges will be under great pressure.

In comparison, Snow Rabbit City is located in the middle of the three cities, so the pressure it bears is actually smaller. This is why Snow Rabbit City has the largest population among the three cities.

Now, the route the three of them were taking was the route back to Snow Rabbit City. However, even this route with the least pressure had become so dangerous, which showed how much pressure the outskirts of the other two cities would be under.

This year's animal disaster seems to be more serious than previous years...

When Meng Bei returned to Snow Rabbit City, the beast disaster had already begun to show signs.

The Meng clan members in Snow Rabbit City are already on high alert in the city. The snowstorm in the far north has almost reached its peak. From time to time, sporadic soul beasts will rush out from the snowstorm and attack humans.

Everyone knows that a beast disaster could come at any time.

The mood among the city's residents was very depressing.

This is different from the way most people imagine defending a city.

In the Meng family, those responsible for defending the city on the front line are low-level soul masters below level 30 and ordinary people. They rely on the city walls and armor to stand at the forefront of the city walls, responsible for blocking the attacking soul beasts at the first moment, while high-level soul masters above level 30 are in a protected position to output.

This kind of warfare is extremely cruel. Ordinary people and low-level spirit masters are almost consumed as cannon fodder.

These low-level soul masters naturally knew their fate. Some of them did it voluntarily, while others were forced. But no matter what, they had no choice.

This is how Meng Bei's parents, whom he had never met, sacrificed themselves.

However, this seemingly unfair method is actually the key to the Meng family's survival for thousands of years.

Meng Bei hated this tactic, but he had to admit that it was correct.

Defending a city is a cruel thing.

Ordinary people and low-level soul masters would suffer heavy casualties when fighting against soul beasts, but relying on tall walls and hard armor, they are not completely defenseless.

At this time, the senior soul master behind him can use his soul skills to attack the soul beast without any worries.

As long as the high-level soul master is not dead, the soul power can be restored, the soul skills can be reused, and the defense line will not collapse.

On the contrary, if high-level soul masters are put in the front, the ordinary people behind them can only do some useless work like shooting arrows.

It is possible that high-level soul masters will achieve certain results in a short period of time, but when the high-level soul masters are exhausted and suffer losses, the remaining ordinary soul masters will become lambs to be slaughtered and will no longer have any resistance against soul beasts.

The city was destroyed, the family was destroyed...

Meng Bei let out a long sigh.

He admitted that he had a low sense of belonging to his family.

But this time, he couldn't just sit back and watch.

If he was just an ordinary Soul Sage, he would never stay here for long, because his presence or absence would not make much difference to the outcome.

But now, he has the power to stop it.

Meng Bei took out the teleportation talisman he had used before and said to Bibi Dong:

"Donger, I have some things to do and need to stay here for a while. I'll take you back first."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong gently held Meng Bei's hand.

"I'll accompany you."

Behind the two of them, Dai Mubai lowered his head tightly, fearing that he would be silenced. Fortunately, Meng Bei ignored his meaning.

Meng Bei did not go to see the patriarch of the Meng family because it was meaningless.

Meng Bei didn't want to get too involved in family affairs. He just wanted to save some humans who were struggling to survive in the Far North.

Of course, soul beasts are also very pitiful.

They do not attack humans for no reason, but are migrating out of their survival instinct due to climate reasons.

Meng Bei understood this.

So his elimination of the soul beasts was also a way of saving them from a life of hardship and suffering.

Not long after, after only two days in Snow Rabbit City, the beast tide began without warning.

First, swarms of insects flew in from the wind and snow.

Snow bees, ice wasps, ice wasps, ice blister beetles, cold wind gadflies, ice-winged grasshoppers, and snow dragonflies.

This is a sign of beast tides in previous years, and the Meng family has long been accustomed to it.

The alarm sounded instantly.

As the saying goes, one thing conquers another.
At Meng Jian's order, he sent people to light a kind of toad oil called the three-eyed Yin Toad on the city wall. When the oil was lit, a green Yin fire burned on the city wall and black smoke rose at the same time. All the insects that passed by were killed instantly.

These advance bugs are the soul beasts with the lowest cultivation level in the beast tide, and therefore have almost no combat capabilities. Most of them don’t even have soul rings, and some only have the lowest-level ten-year soul rings.

But once the bugs pass, it means the real beast tide is about to begin.

Soon, there was a buzzing sound under the city, followed by a huge tremor.

Suddenly, a snow wolf rushed out of the wind and snow and howled towards the city.

Immediately afterwards, countless soul beasts swarmed in, and the first snow wolf that rushed over was quickly torn into pieces and devoured.

Under the city wall, in the wind and snow, dense groups of soul beasts were roaring and screaming.

Snow wolf, snow fox, snow rabbit, snow snake, ice deer, ice mole, ice rock mouse, winter vulture, snow mountain giant eagle, extreme cold snow leopard, earth ice bear, ice magic tiger, ice rock giant tiger, north wind giant wolf, ice sea dragon snake...

These soul beasts roared and rushed towards the city. During the process, they kept devouring each other because many of them were already in the other's food chain. However, in general, the soul beasts still headed towards the city.

The age of these soul beasts is generally not high, most of them are between ten and a hundred years, a few have reached a thousand years, and those that are ten thousand years old are almost rare.

The essence of the beast tide is that food is scarce and it is difficult to survive, so they migrate to human settlements.

Most of the soul beasts that are more than ten thousand years old no longer worry about food, so naturally they will not participate in the beast tide.

Although the soul beasts are not very old, their numbers are too large. Looking at the endless group of soul beasts, many members of the Meng family have already made up their minds to die.

Die, it doesn’t matter, this is the fate of the Meng family.

Moreover, the family has promised to take care of their children for them.

As for supporting the elderly...most people don't have elderly people in their homes.

I just hope that after I die, my children can awaken a good talent.

Because only in this way can the cycle avoid repeating itself twenty years later.

Suddenly, someone said in shock:
"Look, what is that?"

A loud voice suddenly rang around everyone in the city.

"Emperor Sword! The Demon King's true form!"
