CHAPTER 333: CHAPTER 332 SCORING

In the Ice Snow Realm.

The appearance of a gigantic mecha disrupted the intense struggle between humans and beasts.

The defects of the Mecha were obvious, especially when facing Zhou Qianmo, this shortcoming was infinitely magnified, almost causing the entire machine to be dismantled by him.

But when facing these Demon Beasts, especially in an extremely vast combat environment...

Encountering a Level 8 Demon Beast.

No need for mercy, directly use the Long Range Beam Rifle to attack, then bombard with various Electromagnetic Cannons and Phase Cannons... even a Level 8 Demon Beast would be overwhelmed, even if it doesn’t die, it would lose the courage to fight on.

Especially with the Mecha flying mid-air, it rarely meets a natural enemy.

Saving people becomes incredibly fast.

[You’ve rescued Zhou Tong, who was being chased by Demon Beasts, and received his heartfelt gratitude, thus gaining the world’s Origin Value favor, Origin Value +219!]

[You’ve successfully rescued Li Yuan, who was on the brink of death, and received her sincere admiration and gratitude, thus gaining the world’s Origin Value favor, Origin Value +221!]

[You’ve slain the Level 7 Demon Beast Splitting Python, saving the almost fallen Yuan Bing, and received her sincere gratitude, thus gaining the world’s Origin Value favor, Origin Value +189!]

.....................

Without Zhou Qianmo hindering nearby.

Having already successfully saved Li Jingjun and Jun Qing.

At this moment, Xu Lingjun could finally dedicate all his thoughts to saving others.

And the cooperation of the Mecha and Xiaoya was incredibly efficient, firing missiles and shells all the way to rescue people and move on.

Especially since the Mecha was huge, just placing people in crevices, all of whom were experts, meant there was no worry about them not holding on, allowing them to quickly move on to save more people.

In just half an hour’s time.

There were already more than twenty people perched on the Mecha’s shoulders.

And before Xu Lingjun’s eyes, it was like a display refresh; nearly four thousand points of Source Value were collected in half an hour.

Like cheating...

The losses from the Spark Prism were unexpectedly replenished so directly.

As Li Jingjun became more adept at piloting the Mecha, she glanced back at Xu Lingjun and asked, "Uh...have your injuries healed?"

"It’s okay, they’ve recovered."

Xu Lingjun thought to himself that it still took a whole half an hour to recover to peak condition, so it seems the Spark Prism could only be used as the ultimate ace in the hole, and unless my strength reached the Upper Realm, using this would require preparing for the possibility of being incapacitated for a full half hour.

No, if it wasn’t for Li Jingjun’s saliva, I’m afraid it would have been more than half an hour, possibly forcing my Realm to drop.

"Could you move your sword a bit, it’s kind of uncomfortable for me," Li Jingjun said a bit embarrassedly.

Speaking naturally, but her little face was flushed... evidently, though she seemed naive, she wasn’t completely uninformed about male and female anatomy; saying this was completely like sticking her head in the sand like an ostrich.

It was quite out of character for someone who could usually speak so boldly about things typical women found embarrassing to mention.

Xu Lingjun apologized, "Sorry, maybe I should handle it instead."

Li Jingjun was indeed injured, so Xu Lingjun felt uncomfortable continuing to use her.

But the cockpit was really too cramped, even if Xu Lingjun took back control, the space left for Li Jingjun to evade was still too little...

She didn’t speak further.

Just kept her gaze fixed on the display screen, watching as those blips were rescued one by one by Xu Lingjun.

The number of people in the Ice Snow Realm was nearly half that of the Miwu Ghost Forest, but in fact, the number of survivors in the Ice Snow Realm exceeded that of the Miwu Ghost Forest by far.

Probably because with increased power, martial artists had more ways to ensure their survival.

A True Transformation Realm Martial Artist might only be able to match a Level 5 Demon Beast, but a Huichuan Realm Martial Artist could already slay multiple Level 6 Demon Beasts simultaneously.

Along with the improvement of martial artists’ combat experiences...

The casualty rate naturally greatly reduced.

Plus, these people in the Ice Snow Realm instinctively banded together for survival; in just over fifty minutes, Xu Lingjun managed to save nearly fifty people.

More than forty people were hanging on the Mecha, and combined with the Mecha’s tattered appearance, it looked like a broken robot carrying dozens of components ready to fly off at any moment... clanging down the way.

"Time’s running out, we must leave the Secret Realm quickly,"

Xu Lingjun’s gaze fell on those remaining blips... at this moment, only a few dozen remained, and they were all rapidly moving towards the Secret Realm’s entrance.

Perhaps someone outside the Secret Realm had found some way to convey information to them, letting them know that if they didn’t leave the Secret Realm immediately, they’d die under the Terminator System... So they also panicked.

The Mecha accelerated at full speed, flying towards the entrance of the Secret Realm.

The extremely fast speed made all the rescued students tightly grip onto anything they could... their bodies practically lifted off.

And then, at the entrance to the Secret Realm.

For the patrol teams, three whole hours had been built on blood and lives, and by now, those injured all had bandages stained black wrapped around them, each holding weapons at the entrance.

They had just repelled another wave of Demon Beast assaults.

Another dozen students had perished.

"Five more minutes!"

Li Tian couldn’t hide the exhausted look on his face, speaking in a grave voice, "Our casualties are too heavy, if there’s another assault, we won’t be able to hold, we can’t let these Demon Beasts break through the defense line, I suggest that once the Demon Beasts charge, we completely seal the entrance."

Everyone fell silent.

Li Tian’s implication was clearly that they couldn’t hold any longer.

Although three hours were promised, even being two or three minutes early might mean some of those who went to rescue might not make it back, trapped forever inside.

But Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion’s top priority task is to prevent the escape of Secret Realm Demon Beasts.

This is the utmost priority... no matter the sacrifices, the Demon Beasts cannot escape the Secret Realm, making the longtime efforts of predecessors futile.

Someone contacted the Martial Mansion headquarters.

A moment later, the communicator looked up at Li Tian and nodded, "The Pavilion Master agreed."

Even though the request was acknowledged, Li Tian’s eyes suddenly turned red.

He gritted his teeth, "Prepare yourselves."

"Yes!"

All able patrol team members held their weapons, their eyes firmly fixed on the entrance.

In their hearts, they kept praying, hoping the next assault by the Demon Beasts would come sooner.

Time kept ticking away...

In the distance, rescue teams occasionally staggered out carrying severely injured students, with each returning student reviving the patrol squad’s spirits, making them rush to greet them.

Each person who returned heightened the sacrifice’s significance.

Within the next two or three minutes, another dozen or so scattered individuals returned.

Then... everyone’s ears were filled with a rumbling noise.

The ground beneath their feet faintly trembled.

It felt like an earthquake.

Everyone’s faces turned solemn.

The assaults by the Demon Beasts were becoming more frequent, and it seemed the Demon Beasts also sensed the Secret Realm’s entrance weakening, their amassed force growing stronger with each wave.

This wave... couldn’t be withstood.

Li Tian gritted his teeth, shouting, "Seal the Secret Realm entrance barrier!"

"Yes!"

The person in charge resolutely nodded, knowing many were still inside, but at this moment... it could no longer be helped.
