Chapter 117: Ghost Attack, Lightning Tower
Everyone stood up immediately.
Silver Fox scratched his head. “Didn’t they say that there was a medium-sized beast tide yesterday? Logically speaking, there should be a medium-sized beast tide every three to five days. It’s most unlikely for there to be one today.”
Black said indifferently, “Recently, many strange changes have appeared on the Little Spirit Mountain. The number of beast tides has increased, so it’s reasonable.”
Bai Xinghe said solemnly, “Let’s hurry to the nearest east wall to provide support.”
Everyone nodded and immediately placed the unfinished food and water into the storage compartment. They pushed open the door and walked out of the room.
When they walked out of the room, they saw many panicked martial artists rush out of many rooms.
Some rushed out without even putting on their pants.
Some of them had red spicy oil all over their mouths and mouths.
Some sleepy-eyed martial artists even rushed out with broomsticks in their hands as they shouted in their pajamas, “It’s time to make a name for ourselves!” Then, he rushed towards the east wall.
Most of these martial artists were civilians and had not undergone professional training.
In contrast, the members of the Construction Division were in another residence.
Hearing the alarm, everyone quickly put on their equipment in more than ten seconds and rushed out of the room in unison. They quickly formed a team and rushed towards the east wall.
Along the way, a group of civilian martial artists also very consciously made way for them.
Lin Xuan and the others followed behind these members of the Construction Division and quickly climbed up the east wall.
Standing on the eastern city wall, Lin Xuan looked down. All he could see were faint green dots.
On careful look, those were not green dots. They were clearly pairs of eyes!
Under these eyes, the noses and mouths were almost no different from human features.
Under the sparse starlight, Lin Xuan discovered that their bodies were very illusory, as if they were floating in the air.
Of course, other than these human-shaped ghosts, there were also many beast-shaped ghosts.
However, strangely, these ghosts gathered from all directions and surrounded the third gathering place, but they did not attack for a long time, as if they were waiting for something.
The martial artists standing on the city wall instinctively felt a little scared. Being stared at by so many empty and sinister eyes, everyone was a little afraid.
They kept feeling that something bad was about to happen.
“A ghost?” Lin Xuan was stunned.
He did not expect the ones attacking the city to be such demon beasts.
Ye Yuqiu was standing beside him. Seeing that he was a little surprised, she explained, “That’s right. These demon beasts are ghosts. They’re considered a specialty of Little Spirit Mountain.”
Black also said casually, “Ghosts won’t appear during the daytime. They will only hide in deep underground and abandoned buildings where there is no sunlight. However, every night, they will gather to attack the human colonies.”
Lin Xuan frowned slightly.
The demon beasts he had encountered in the past were at least corporeal. This was the first time he had encountered a demon beast that did not even have a body.
Moreover, weren’t there too many of them?
There were at least 20,000 of them.
In the distance, more faint green dots seemed to be gathering.
And this was only on a medium scale beast tide?
How terrifying would a big scale beast tide be?
Lin Xuan suddenly felt the huge pressure the Construction Division was under.
In the past, he only felt that the Construction Division had a lot of people and ran a huge business. It would definitely be easy for him to rely on the Construction Division.
Moreover, this was only the small Little Spirit Mountain mystic realm.
The battle in Drowning City was at least ten times more tragic than in Little Spirit Mountain. The demon beasts that appeared there were only more terrifying than the ones in Little Spirit Mountain.
Otherwise, the Construction Division would not have risked their lives to mobilize the members to Drowning City. No matter what, they had to stop the demon beasts that were constantly surging out of Drowning City.
Other than mystic realms like the Little Spirit Mountain and Drowning City, they also had to constantly guard against the covetous eyes of other organizations.
From time to time, they had to beat up some organizations that had crossed the line. Otherwise, those organizations would definitely push their luck.
The director of the Construction Division in charge of the east wall shouted, “Everyone, those who have long-range skills can directly attack. Kill as many as you can!”
The martial artists immediately attacked when they heard this.
All kinds of skills of various colors flew down the city.
However, no matter how they attacked, the ghost remained motionless.
Under the first wave of attacks, hundreds of ghosts were instantly killed.
But the subsequent ghosts quickly filled their gaps.
From the top of the city wall, it was as if the wave of skills just now had not been released.
Some of the martial artists who had just arrived at the Little Spirit Mountain mystic realm immediately revealed frightened expressions and muttered, “How are we supposed to fight them?”
The supervisor of the Construction Division shouted, “Everyone, don’t panic. There are many ghosts, but we can completely keep them out of the colonies by relying on the city wall!”
“In addition, because it’s a sudden beast tide, our Lightning Tower still needs time to accumulate energy. Please buy time for the Lightning Tower to charge!”
Lin Xuan followed his gaze and looked at the three three-meter-tall stone towers on the east wall.
“Lightning Tower?”
Lin Xuan used his High-Level Observer skill and actually saw the equipment information.

Description: A product of the Tower Defense Master, Wan Youxi. It is honest and cheap.
Lin Xuan was slightly surprised.
It was actually made by a chief of the Construction Division. No wonder it was so powerful.
Ye Yuqiu said solemnly, “The Lightning Tower consumes too much energy and won’t be activated during small-scale beast tides. The person in charge of Colony Three probably didn’t expect that today’s small-scale beast tide would actually become medium-scale, so it still needs to be charged at this moment.”
With that said, Ye Yuqiu suddenly stared into the distance and whispered.
“The big ones are coming.”
Lin Xuan also looked over and suddenly discovered two especially bright points of light quickly growing larger.
Finally, they stopped 300 meters away from the city wall.
The pair of faint green dots was the size of a bucket.
At this moment, moonlight passed through the clouds and sprinkled on that figure. Only then did Lin Xuan see its full appearance.
It was an ugly ghost more than seven meters tall.
The reason why it was ugly was because Lin Xuan could not find the words to describe this ghost.
It was not of any race at all.
It was not in human form, bird, or beast form.
Its head was that of a wolf.
It had a human body and a human face on its chest, but the mouth of this human face had a snake tongue sticking out.
Among its four hands, two were human hands, and the other two were wolf claws.
As for its tail, it could not be called a tail at all. Instead, it was the upper half of a python.
It was as if the relevant parts of the ghost in the form of a huge wolf, a human, and a python had been cut off and stitched together.
Silver Fox felt a chill in his heart. “Is this a ghost that can be formed naturally?!”
Black shrugged. “Previously, when I was training on the Little Spirit Mountain, it was also this kind of ghost that acted as the leader and led the other ghosts to attack.”
“They’re all mystic realm kings. Since they’re here, it means that the ghosts are already prepared and are about to attack en masse.”
As expected.
After the sutured ghost monster appeared, the ghosts that had been standing rooted to the ground with a numb expression immediately seemed to have received a signal. They instantly became ferocious and rushed towards the city wall.
Because they were ghosts, they did not need to climb the city wall at all. They only needed to mobilize their magic power and fly directly towards the city wall.
A battle instantly erupted!
Because the physical resistance of these ghosts was extremely high, the martial artists had no choice but to use magic and elemental skills to attack.
This made those martial artists who purely focused on dealing physical damage complain incessantly.
Lin Xuan multitasked. His main body took out a large shield to save the situation at all times, and his Flame Explosion avatar alternated between using Flame Explosion and Fireball.
Not far from him was Silver Fox.
At this moment, Silver Fox displayed the strength of an elemental mage.
Although he had wasted a lot of time in order to spy on the Germinal Organization and had even failed to advance perfectly several times, he was still doing alright. After all, the precious purple profession, Elemental Mage, had already made up for a lot.
At this moment, Silver Fox casually threw out four skills, including fire, frost, lightning, and poison.
The four elemental spells effectively killed the ghosts.
In a short period of time, a fan-shaped area with a radius of five meters in front of Silver Fox was cleared.
Any ghost that entered this area would be killed immediately.
The surrounding martial artists were surprised.
This person was awesome!
He knew all four types of elemental spells? What an expert!
The mage professionals were even more envious.
As mages, they knew better than anyone how difficult it was to learn four types of spells at the same time.
Even the person in charge of the east wall, the level nine Seventh Realm Construction Division member, looked over and praised, “That martial artist is not bad. Everyone, learn from him.”
Silver Fox laughed. “You flatter me.”
Feeling the gazes from all directions, he was feeling very smug.
“Hey, hey, hey, stop feeling so smug, alright?” Black sneered.
Silver Fox sneered and questioned, “How many have you killed? Can you compare to me? As Construction Division members, all that matters are our battle merits! Without battle merits, can you be stubborn in front of me?!”
Black gritted his teeth.
Silver Fox was even more delighted when he saw this.
He was usually used to the Black badmouthing him. Now that he could retort, he was overjoyed.
Black sneered. “Don’t be happy too early. When Flame Explosion attacks, those envious eyes won’t be looking at you.”
Silver Fox seemed to have expected this. At this moment, he chuckled. “I’m only inferior to him in terms of fire magic. However, I’m proficient in lightning, frost, and poison. Overall, I’m not inferior to him.”
Then, he coughed lightly and whispered, “Moreover, have you forgotten? Teacher reminded us not to use our signature skills from before. We’ll be exposed. Of course, Flame Explosion won’t be able to keep using his Flame Explosion skill.”
Flame Explosion’s signature spell was Flame Explosion. Although many mage professions had this skill, it was very likely for Flame Explosion recognized by the spies hiding in the dark if he used it too frequently. After all, its lethality was very high.
Black’s expression changed slightly.
Silver Fox was telling the truth. If the other party could not use Flame Explosion, he would probably not have much of an advantage.
Damn, this Silver Fox would actually be able to keep showing off!
Could it be that the limelight on the east wall was about to be snatched away by Silver Fox?
Black casually slashed a ghost that had rushed up the city wall a few meters away. He approached Flame Explosion and asked in a low voice, “Do me a favor?”
Lin Xuan was stunned. Why did Black want his help at this time?
He immediately asked through his avatar, “What favor?”
Black snorted. “Look, Silver Fox is feeling very smug. If he had a tail, it would probably be wagging endlessly by now. I want you to steal his limelight away with your strength!”
With that said, he asked hesitantly, “You can’t use Flame Explosion. But how about your other spells? Can you suppress him?”
Lin Xuan could not help but laugh. So this was the reason?
This Silver Fox and Black sure seemed like really good friends.
Black immediately made Flame Explosion look troubled, but Flame Explosion still nodded. “Alright, but my other spells are slightly weaker than my fire spells.”
