Ever since he was attacked by the demon that day, Gu Shi seemed to have been turned on and suffered attacks one after another.

In less than ten days, he was attacked by three demons again. The frequency was as if he wanted to make up for the losses in the previous peaceful days.

Fortunately, because of sufficient preparation, it was not too difficult for Gu Shi to deal with these demons.

The only difficult battle was when they faced a demon whose strength had reached the eighth level. Gu Shi and Shu Feng were both engaged in a fierce battle.

But in the end, the two of them relied on each other's cooperation and successfully took down the demon.

Because the battle was quite noisy, the camp where they were originally located was also affected a lot and was no longer suitable for living there, so Gu Shi found another place and rearranged it.

Just the day after the move, the system, which had been silent for a long time, finally sent a message to Gu Shi.

[System: Is everything okay over there? Is everyone okay?

Gu Shi: It's not bad. I just encountered an eighth-level demon yesterday, and it took a lot of effort to subdue it. Fortunately, it was coming for me. If it had rushed into the city, I don't know how many casualties it would have caused.

Gu Shi: Are you done with your work? How has Xiao Shuimiao been doing these past two days?

System: Well, I have fixed the loophole in the barrier, so there shouldn’t be any problems for the time being.

System: I have taken good care of the sapling, and it is in good condition. However, after it left you, its growth progress stagnated, and it remains at its original size.

Gu Shi: That’s good.

Gu Shi: Have you figured out why the barrier suddenly cracked? Will this happen again?

System: To be honest, I don’t know.

System: The barrier was cracked by the demons outside. I did not anticipate this at all, and I don’t know if they can do it again.

System: But judging by their performance recently, this method is probably a one-time thing, otherwise they would have come again before I finished repairing the barrier.

Gu Shi: That makes me feel relieved. If this happens more often, we will be worried about the demons that take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in.

system:……

Gu Shi:?

System: It may be too early for you to be relieved.

System: According to my original calculations, the barrier should be able to last for a long time. There are many things that can be planned slowly, and you still have some time to develop.

System: But now things are different.

System: Although I have repaired the barrier, I have only plugged the hole. It has not restored its original strength. One day, it will crack again.

Seeing the system say this, Gu Shi couldn't help but frown.

He understood what the system meant. It was like a piece of glass that was broken and then glued together. Although it looked like a whole piece, the cracks still existed, and the glass would be more fragile than before.

[Gu Shi: Is there no way to completely repair it?

System: Yes, but under our current conditions, a complete repair will take a long time, so I chose to plug the hole first.

System: Moreover, I am not sure whether this barrier, which has been repaired now, can last until the day we completely repair it.

Gu Shi: Is there anything I can do to help?

System: Don't worry, I have already informed your human superiors of this situation, and they will cooperate with me to repair the barrier.

System: As for you, I have other arrangements.

Other arrangements?

Gu Shi was a little confused, so he continued to ask the system.

[Gu Shi: What arrangements? You tell me, and I'll do my best.]

System: Let’s talk about this later. I’m still making preliminary preparations and don’t know if it will be successful. If it goes well, I will notify you again.

Gu Shi: Okay.

More than a month passed after this, and thanks to the efforts of countries around the world, most of the demons had been successfully killed, with only a few still roaming around.

As time passed, the external effects of the demonic attack were gradually fading, but the panic rising among the crowd was growing stronger.

After this incident, influenced by various factors, countries around the world held several rounds of meetings and discussions. Finally, they decided to gradually disclose some of the facts to the public.

Before this, the fact that the demons from the abyss were eyeing the Blue Star was a secret known only to a few people.

In the eyes of most people who don’t know the truth, Blue Star has been developing rapidly in recent years.

After an accident, Lan Xing was connected to another world with magical powers, and successfully obtained the method of cultivation from that world.

From then on, Blue Star also stepped into the era of magic.

Thanks to alchemy, all sorts of novel props are emerging one after another. Many fantasies of the past are gradually becoming reality. Thanks to the existence of magic potions, many incurable diseases have also been cured...

Anyone can see that Blue Star is ushering in a brand new future, but the official notice now suddenly shattered everyone's beautiful fantasies.

In addition, since the system's repair of the barrier was not perfect, during this period of time, a few faint cracks would appear in the sky where the original rift was located from time to time, making people worry whether the sky would collapse again at the next moment.

In such a situation, it is normal for people to feel panic.

In response to this, the Xia State officials responded quickly and used various means to successfully calm people's emotions.

But the situation of other countries is not so good. Compared with Xia Country, their social order is more free, and marches and protests are very common on weekdays, not to mention after the news is announced.

Although the actual situation is unclear, it can be seen from reports from various media that things are not very peaceful abroad these days.

Seeing that things gradually calmed down, Gu Shi returned home at the urging of his father and mother.

As for the sapling that was sent away, it is still staying with the system for the time being. Gu Shi also asked the system what it meant. The system said that it needed its help to conduct some research, but he didn't know what it was busy with.

Because of the previous events, Gu's father and mother also began to pay attention to martial arts. They made an appointment with Wu Jingshan and would go to him for training whenever they were free. Gu Shi was the only one left at home.

In addition, there is no need to take care of the saplings as a daily task, so Gu Shiguo has more free time.
