CHAPTER 242: CHAPTER 187: DEFENSIVE COUNTERATTACK COMBAT

Defense Counterattack

"Withdraw into the stone gate and hold your ground to buy time," Small Knife shouted from within the Witch Residence.

Immediately, everything from the spirit field to the houses in the courtyard rapidly shrank and was collected by Small Knife.

Indeed, each of these structures counted as a small Witch Residence and was a top-grade Witch Artifact at the Nine Witch Runes level.

Small Knife had been in secluded cultivation for so long.

Quite a few npc subordinates had barely mastered a single Witch Language; that was an achievement.

And Small Knife’s command was focused and concise.

Ordinary npcs wouldn’t learn a second rune without mastering a top-grade Witch Language.

Mastering Witch Language wasn’t easy; the hardest part was the materials.

About that, ha!

The Northern Witch’s specialty, the Totem Pole, allows for a large number of Witch Patterns through sacrifice, far exceeding the nine-rune limit. Its power can stack, and its explosive force is feared even by cultivators. Its weakness is that it cannot shrink.

After growing too large, although the power is astonishing, it becomes difficult even to move.

In contrast, the Witch Residence can shrink all the life inside it, quite magical, but unfortunately, a top-grade Witch Artifact with nine Witch Runes is the limit, with too low potential.

Then, two beast hide bags were tossed to the Scar-faced Ghost and the Fire Ghost, who instinctively caught them.

They looked inside and were stunned.

"That’s quite generous, not forgetting your old mother who risks her life for you!" The Fire Ghost with a flushed face laughed heartily.

The Scar-faced Ghost let out a long sigh of relief.

Because inside was spirit water, genuine first realm level spirit water, of unimaginable value.

And the quantity was almost frighteningly large.

With this Entry-level Spirit Water, pollution would no longer be an issue.

"Hold the stone gate," Small Knife shouted, quickly heading underground.

"Shatter for me!" Looking at the extremely dim enormous Golden Bell, obviously unable to hold on, Nine Heavens Sword bragged.

But as soon as he finished speaking.

The Golden Bell didn’t break; instead, it suddenly shone brilliantly again, instantly restoring to full status, though a -1hp floated above it.

Nine Heavens Sword was taken aback.

"Many tricks, but still useless," the Four Seas President gave him an out.

"Indeed!" The ground was already sealed, even Earth Escape was ineffective.

The sky wouldn’t be spared either.

Methods like invisibility could also be countered.

For this encirclement and extermination, the two major guilds paid an enormous price, unhesitant in depleting their years of accumulated resources and connections to ensure absolute success.

The Golden Bell vibrated under numerous attacks; soon, its light dimmed once more.

Yet again restored to perfect condition, -1hp.

"So that’s it, it actually has twenty points to restore to full status, what a powerful magical artifact!"

Nine Heavens Sword’s subordinate used a special Spirit Talisman and examined it.

"Unfortunately, against our absolute numbers and massive advantage, it’s still useless," the Four Seas President sighed.

Such a major action, only once in a lifetime.

The two guilds had emptied out their years of old reserves, but it was worth it, absolutely worth it.

Spirit Roots, ah.

Quickly!

The last time!

The Golden Bell restored its status once more, -1hp.

Its twentieth, and last Entry-level Life was exhausted.

Yet the restored Golden Bell suddenly shrank, taking along a golden light, disappeared into the courtyard.

Without the Golden Bell’s protection, in just a few seconds under concentrated fire.

The thick wall completely fractured, and the players charged in fearlessly.

And then they were dumbfounded, because there was nothing inside the wall?

Completely empty?

Except for a hole in the ground.

Under the command of subordinates, they charged into the hole.

"Extravagant." Seeing the cracked thick wall, the fracture like fine steel, made the two presidents involuntarily gasp.

These were definitely materials for artifact embryos.

How much material was used? Any piece of it would be enough to refine an artifact embryo, worthy of an Immortal Master struggle.

This scale was too big; even the two presidents weren’t qualified to use it.

The two major guilds alone had two hundred thousand internal players over the years, this metal wasn’t impossible to gather, but even as presidents, they didn’t have the authority to use it all for themselves.

However, now, these still couldn’t compensate for their losses in this action.

Of course, this battle was solely for the Spirit Roots, which were priceless treasures, not measurable by money.

The two of them didn’t rush into the hole, after confirming it was secure, with protection, they descended.

Below, a massive number of players surrounded Shi Gandang, still relentlessly charging into the stone gate, fiercely unstoppable.

Unfortunately, the stone gate was limited in size, and the number of people that could rush in was equally limited, so it was like a death march.

Those who entered were naturally all concentrated fired upon.

However, the two presidents didn’t stop them, this time, they weren’t afraid of the cost, even if it meant sending people to their deaths, they had to drain them.

Draining the opponent’s foundation was victory.

And we had plenty of people.

But it had to be quick, to prevent changes.

With one command.

Hundred Level players stepped forward, Spirit Talismans attached to the ground.

Gently activated.

The last breath of essence blood was spat out.

As the Spirit Talisman was activated and turned to powder, an invisible wave spread out.

"No players within a kilometer except our own," the player said with difficulty, their face ashen, level had dropped to Level 90.

Because activating a first realm level Spirit Talisman wasn’t easy.

This range included underground and sky.

This special Spirit Talisman’s value was certainly hefty.

"A hundred meters outside is locked by an array, ascending to heaven and diving into earth is impossible, they can only retreat inside here," Nine Heavens Sword slowly said with confidence.
