Seeing that the situation was not going well, some people had the idea of ​​backing down and actually turned around and ran away.

Players value their lives highly, and when they saw someone leading the escape, they were naturally unwilling to become cannon fodder, so one after another they turned and ran.

Xiao Jin leaped back from the sky and landed steadily, her eyes meeting Gao Ya's in mid-air.

This can't go on!

Gao Ya looked bitter and helpless: How was I supposed to know these people were so unreliable? Did they run away a little too early?

She had considered the possibility of some people dropping out, but she hadn't expected fighting outside to be so difficult. The Snow Beast King's attack was proving unsuccessful, and their forces had suffered heavy losses.

"This can't go on any longer!" Xiao Jin's voice was soft, but the dozen or so people around her could hear it.

They instantly understood Xiao Jin's thoughts.

After exchanging glances for a moment, their expressions turned serious, and they all took out their props.

Xiao Jin lowered her eyes, and a scroll suddenly slipped from her palm, then spun rapidly and flew towards the Snow Beast King's head in mid-air.

The moment the scroll unfurled, several runes floated in the sky, their characters seemingly activated, shimmering with a ghostly blue light that cast an eerie glow over the entire snowfield.

The Snow Beast King's massive body trembled violently, a hint of fear and confusion flashing in its eyes.

Just then, the solid snow beneath it seemed to come alive, forming a swampy, churning mud that emitted a suffocating chill.

From the swamp, a huge and ferocious hand slowly stretched out, covered with thick frost, yet exuding an irresistible power.

The hand grabbed the Snow Beast King's body in one swift motion. The Snow Beast King's limbs kicked wildly in mid-air, its roars deafening and causing snowflakes to flutter around it, but it could not break free from the huge hand that seemed to be able to freeze everything.

The next second, several beams of light fell from the hands of the other players, and everyone used their respective control skills.

Xiao Jin's gaze was cold, and without the slightest hesitation, he said, "Let's go. They can't hold on any longer. Let's retreat back to the Black Tower first!"

Gao Ya clenched her teeth, her eyes flashing with resentment.

She knew that this was not the time to be reckless; preserving her strength was the only way to leave hope for the battles to come.

Although the Snow Beast King is currently subdued, killing it will take quite a bit of effort.

Therefore, she shouted, "Retreat!"

Before the words had even faded, the Crimson Moon Blade in his hand shone brightly, like a red sun rising from the snow, illuminating the surroundings.

Immediately afterwards, a phantom blade appeared out of thin air, carrying an extremely sharp blade wind, and slammed heavily into the snow beast horde, buying the other players a little time to retreat.

"Quick, let's go!"

The urgent shouts echoed like taut strings in the narrow, open snowfield.

The group fought their way back, with snow beasts surging towards them like a tidal wave. Soon, they arrived at the entrance to the Black Tower.

Xiao Jin, who was the first to enter the warehouse, suddenly spoke up. She looked around at the people and asked, "Does anyone have a large-scale defensive skill?"

The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment. Suddenly, a player pushed his way out of the crowd, panting heavily, but clutching a talisman tightly in his hand.

"I have a defensive talisman, but it can only be used once. After use, it will last for 2 hours. The coverage area is 500 meters."

Upon hearing this, the other players immediately cast grateful glances at him.

Wow, buddy, you're really generous to bring out such a valuable prop!

Gao Ya patted the player on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we won't use your items for nothing. We'll give you the points later."

As she said this, Gao Ya gave everyone a cold glance; some looked open and honest, while others looked furtive and evasive.

Seeing this, Gao Ya gripped the giant sword in her hand, her killing intent surging: "Hmm? Anyone have a problem with this? Step forward!"

"No, no, no!"

"Of course, of course! Hehe!"

Many people were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat and quickly tried to laugh it off.

"Don't worry, brother. We're all reasonable people, and we certainly can't let you be the only one making the sacrifice!"

Regardless of whether it's genuine or not, since someone is offering their services for a reward, the player naturally won't refuse.

"Haha, okay then, market price is fine!"

Xiao Jin's expression remained unpleasant as she looked at the crowd and asked, "Just one?"

Two hours is too short; it won't be long before the snow beast breaks through the black tower's defenses.

With so many players here, can't we gather a few large defensive items?

I have more here!

However, at this moment, an unexpected figure stepped forward—Song Chao, the martial arts expert who knew how to use a staff.

Song Dynasty people were generally thin and frail, with delicate features, which was quite different from the image of a martial artist wielding a long staff in people's minds.

But this seemingly frail young man had just attacked the Snow Beast King with clean, swift, and precise movements.

The stick slammed into the Snow Beast King's head with a 'bang bang bang', almost knocking its tongue out several times.

Song Chao's voice was calm, but his gaze was fixed on Xiao Jin.

“I have a compass with a defensive array engraved on it. It has no limit on the number of uses, and as long as there is enough energy, it can be used for as long as I want.”

ah?

so good?

Upon hearing this, some players were overjoyed: "Great! Thanks to you, Song Dynasty. Large defensive items are so rare, you've really been a great help this time."

However, some people harbored doubts, and their questioning gazes would occasionally sweep over the Song Dynasty.

How could there be such a powerful item? Not only does it have no usage limits, but it also allows you to use it for as long as you want, as long as you have enough energy.

How come they've never seen such great props before?

Gao Ya was also completely bewildered, but Xiao Jin's lips twitched when she saw Song Chao's expression.

These words felt like they were directed at her! If she wasn't mistaken, the array plate in Song Chao's hand was probably a psionic artifact.

The so-called energy should be the spiritual power contained within the spirit stone.

I didn't expect that the Song Dynasty also had psionicists, and there were quite a few skilled players among them!

And what he just said implied that he was certain he was also a psychic and wanted her to help provide spirit stones.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Jin understood what Song Chao meant. She looked around at the people and, among a bunch of confused eyes, she spotted two people with strange expressions.

These two people are either psionicists, or they know about psionicists.

The other party's request is not unreasonable.

Seeing this, Xiao Jin said directly to Song Chao, "I will provide you with 'energy,' but I can't guarantee how long it will last."

Song Chao's eyes lit up; he had guessed correctly.

He nodded: "It's okay, I still have some stock on hand, and with yours, it should be enough."
