"Kill!"
With a loud shout from the chief, the next moment, thousands of arrows from the high walls of the tribe pierced through the air, plunging into the tide of beasts.
Plop! Plop! Plop!
The arrows instantly pierced through the bodies of the fierce beasts, or hit vital points, causing immediate death.
Even the beasts that were not killed by the arrows were stopped by the force of the arrows, and were trampled into flesh and blood by the beasts behind them.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of beasts were killed.
On the high walls of the tribe, each warrior was extremely composed, and arrows shot out one after another.
Continuous sonic booms sounded, like thunder rumbling.
They did not use their full strength, but only the third or fourth level of the Overlapping Waves secret technique.
In such a situation, low-ranking warriors could shoot a hundred arrows in succession, mid-ranking warriors could shoot hundreds, and if they used their full strength, they could only shoot a dozen or so before exhausting their energy and depleting their true qi.
Yi Tian's Reincarnation Squad was very relaxed.
Apart from Yi Tian, Yi Feng, Yi Shan, Yi Li, Yi Kuang, and Yi Hong all broke through to the seventh rank after returning from the mountains.
Their strength had increased several times.
Those fierce beasts were no match for the seventh-rank warriors.
Yi Tian's arrows were like lightning, each taking the life of a fierce beast with incredible accuracy.
Even the most dangerous beasts could not escape their arrows.
Especially as the captain of the Reincarnation Squad, Yi Tian's speed of shooting arrows was incredibly fast, like automatic bullets, pouring down like a waterfall, shooting down large numbers of beasts in their direction, piling up like a mountain, quickly forming a wall of flesh and blood.
In their direction, the beasts could not advance a single step.
However, the high stone walls of the tribe were over a thousand feet long, and there were too many directions from which the beasts attacked. In some areas where the warriors were weaker, some beasts broke through fifty feet, entered forty feet, thirty feet, twenty feet...
Near Yi Tian, a few positions were also breached by the beasts, breaking through the curtain of arrows.
"Support, don't let the beasts attack the stone wall!"
A late-seventh-rank warrior on the hundred-foot-high wall spoke.
Thus, his arrows attacked the beasts that had approached the high stone wall, pinning them to the ground, either killing them or causing them to howl in agony.
Yi Tian, Yi Feng, Yi Shan, and others also began to support other directions.
Arrows shot through the air, killing the beasts one by one, rapidly clearing the advancing beasts.
Yi Kai, Yi Hong, and the fathers of Yi Feng and others were shocked by the terrifying slaughter of Yi Tian and his team, almost forgetting to attack.
At this moment, the warriors around Yi Tian realized how powerful he and his team had become, far surpassing their strength during last year's coming-of-age ceremony. Their arrows were continuous, and their efficiency in killing was extremely fast, just like the seventh-rank warriors, who were at ease.
Yi Tian's eyes were like lightning, with a range of forty to fifty feet.
Once any part of the defense was breached, Yi Tian's firepower would descend there, sealing the breach, and any beast that crossed the line would die under his arrows.
He was relying solely on his physical strength, using only half of his power, and arrows with a force of over ten thousand pounds could kill even the most dangerous beasts without exception.
On the ground ahead, thousands or even tens of thousands of beasts surged towards them from small hills and streams.
They showed no fear, all acting as if they were mad.
The high stone walls of the Yi Clan Tribe were like reefs, resisting wave after wave of the beast tide.
At the base of the stone walls, blood flowed like rivers, and countless beast corpses were trampled into blood mud, turning the earth red.
However, as the number of beast corpses increased, they began to pile up like mountains. If this continued, the mountain of flesh and blood would reach the height of the stone walls, allowing the beasts to directly enter the tribe, which would be a dire situation.
The warriors of the Yi Clan Tribe were extremely powerful in ranged attacks, but their combat effectiveness would sharply decrease in close combat.
If they were not a group of archers with terrifying ranged combat power and extremely high killing efficiency, but instead trained in various martial techniques for close combat, they would suffer heavy casualties against the endless beasts.
Now, the beasts had not breached the stone walls, and none of the warriors had been injured.
The beast tide had been raging for nearly an hour, with a continuous stream of beasts attacking the tribe without fear of death. In the distance, there were still large, mountain-like beasts watching, not immediately attacking but driving large numbers of beasts to attack.
During this hour, many of the tribe's warriors had already run out of strength and true qi.
Even though they were trying to conserve their strength, there would eventually be a moment of exhaustion.
Thus, they took out essence stones to recover their true qi in the rear, using the true qi to relieve the fatigue of their bodies and quickly restore their state, striving to return to the battlefield as soon as possible.
Using essence stones to recover true qi was extremely luxurious and unimaginable in the past.
But at this moment, they no longer held back.
The withdrawal of three to four hundred high-ranking warriors immediately caused gaps in the tribe's defense, allowing many beasts to reach the base of the stone walls and begin attacking them, causing chunks of stone to fly.
The warriors standing on the stone walls felt the walls shaking beneath their feet.
However, these stragglers were quickly shot down.
But this situation kept happening.
There were too many beasts. Even with the full support of Yi Tian and others, as well as the high-ranking warriors of the tribe, they could not stop all the beasts. Occasionally, beasts would reach the base of the stone walls and damage them.
Fortunately, the stone walls of their tribe were not only tall but also very thick, at least ten feet thick, making it difficult for ordinary fierce beasts to destroy them.
Yi Tian looked into the distance.
He saw a large number of beasts rampaging on the ground, with at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands gathered at the tribe, while others bypassed the tribe and swept towards Black Dragon City and the surrounding castles, towns, villages, and estates.
The entire Black Dragon City was facing a fierce beast tide, a great calamity descending upon it.
Yi Tian's shooting speed was very fast, with arrows piercing through the air, killing beasts one by one. At least four to five thousand beasts had died under his arrows, equivalent to the combined efforts of dozens or even hundreds of tribe warriors.
However, after shooting thousands of arrows in succession, Yi Tian's arms began to feel numb and painful.
His physical strength was beginning to wane.
This was due to his powerful physical strength. If it were ordinary seventh-rank warriors, even if they conserved their strength, they would need to burst with at least five to six thousand pounds of force to kill a beast fifty feet away, and with the help of true qi and the Overlapping Waves secret technique, they could only burst a few hundred or a thousand times.
Yi Tian then activated the Pure Yang Technique, with streams of pure yang true qi running through his body, continuously eliminating his fatigue.
He also began to slow down the speed of killing beasts.
On the ground below the tribe, at least forty to fifty thousand beasts had been shot dead, creating a scene like a hell of blood and gore, with a pungent smell spreading for dozens of miles.
As for the refined iron arrows they had used, they numbered at least over a million, a staggering amount.
"These beasts just keep coming, I'm almost out of strength."
Yi Feng, standing beside him, couldn't help but complain with a bitter face.
As for Yi Shan and Yi Li, they didn't say anything, still shooting arrows steadily and powerfully, killing beasts one by one.
Their killing speed was not as fast as Yi Tian's, but they were much more enduring, far better than Yi Feng, who had been attacking frantically from the start.
"We have only killed a third of the beasts attacking the tribe, but the tribe is almost out of fighting strength. If this continues, we won't be able to defend!"
Yi Hong looked at the warriors on the stone walls, whose faces were extremely tired, and the speed of shooting arrows had slowed down, making the situation somewhat dire.
As for the ground ahead, there were still nearly a hundred thousand beasts and fierce beasts that had not yet acted.
At this moment, the mountain-like fierce beasts in the distance finally moved, roaring and shaking the heavens and the earth. Nearly a hundred thousand beasts attacked the tribe, with hundreds or even thousands of fierce beasts in this wave of the beast tide.
If those fierce beasts got close, the entire tribe's stone walls would be destroyed, and the tribe would face the final moment of life and death.
