Despite the harassment from a few escaped fish, Zhang Bei and his team successfully escorted Gu Shi into the protective shield before the arrival of the large force behind.
"According to the previously arranged tasks, take action!"
After entering the protective shield, Zhang Bei gave an order and the people who were originally in a very tight formation instantly dispersed and moved in an orderly manner. Only Zhang Bei was left, and he followed Gu Shi closely.
Seeing this scene, Gu Shi quickly moved without Zhang Bei's reminder.
Gu Shi quickly walked to the center of the protective shield. After confirming the location where the ancient tree would be planted next, he took out a few bottles from the space ring and began to pour things onto the ground.
These are special nutrient solutions specially formulated by the system for ancient trees.
After the land absorbed all the nutrient solution, Gu Shi began to transplant the ancient trees.
With the experience from last time, Gu Shi was much faster this time and his technique was much more skillful.
The ancient trees themselves were also very cooperative.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s been in the small flowerpot for too long and is craving a bigger space, or if it’s attracted by the special nutrient solution in the soil, but it took root here without Gu Shi having to spend much effort.
The successful completion of the first step made Gu Shi feel a little relieved, but the current situation did not allow him to relax. Before he had time to catch his breath, he started to move on to the next step in a hurry.
Zhang Bei stood beside Gu Shi, paying attention to his safety while constantly observing the changes in the surrounding situation.
By the time Gu Shi finished transplanting the ancient trees, they were completely surrounded by the enemy.
Fortunately, the protective shield provided by the system is very powerful, temporarily creating a safe zone for them.
Faced with the siege of a large number of enemies, under the command of Zhang Bei, they are systematically reducing the number of enemies, and the situation on the scene is temporarily in their favor.
But it’s hard to say what will happen next.
It had only been a dozen minutes since they left the portal, and a demon as powerful as a ninth-order demon had come to their door.
Although it has died under the beating of the crowd, there will be more and more equally powerful uninvited guests in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhang Bei couldn't help but frown, but even though he had thought of the worst consequences, he never thought of retreating.
Long before they set out, they had already prepared themselves to never return.
The system once hinted to them that if this operation went smoothly, perhaps the world could return to its former peaceful state.
For this possibility, they will try their best.
Gu Shi did not distract himself to observe the surrounding situation. He still remembered the system's previous instructions. Now he just needed to concentrate on completing his task. Zhang Bei and the others would take care of other things.
Gu Shi believed them.
After the ancient tree successfully took root, Gu Shi quickly took two steps forward, took out an oval-shaped colorful multi-faceted crystal with one hand, and placed the other hand on the tree trunk.
Then he closed his eyes and, following the system's previous instructions, concentrated on mobilizing the magic power in his body.
The colorful crystal in Gu Shi's hand was very beautiful. It looked similar to some precious crystal mineral, and its appearance was very much like an enlarged version of the magic crystal. In fact, their essence was indeed not much different.
Both have a large amount of magic stored within them.
Previously in the valley, under the effect of the system-revised magic circle, Gu Mu had no idea how many years had passed.
Originally, after going through that period of time, even if the ancient tree did not grow into the towering tree that Gu Shi saw in the illusion, it should not have looked so immature now.
Because the valley at that time was just a small, incomplete space, and restricted by environmental conditions, the ancient tree could only control itself to its current size.
But now that Gu Shi has brought the ancient tree out, the biggest factor restricting its growth has disappeared. Next, as long as it is given enough energy, it will be able to grow quickly to its proper appearance.
Gu Shi could feel that under his intentional control, the magic power in his body was flowing towards the ancient tree at a terrifying speed. Even though his magic power reserves were several times more than that of an ordinary person, most of it was soon drained.
At this time, the crystal held in Gu Shi's right hand glowed slightly, and a gentle power overflowed from it, then injected into Gu Shi's body, and quickly merged with his magic power, filling the gap.
This crystal was also given to Gu Shi by the system.
Although it looks like some kind of mineral, this crystal is actually a rare treasure from heaven and earth.
It is condensed from a large amount of pure attributeless energy. Anyone can easily absorb the energy in it without leaving any sequelae.
In this way, magic power formed an unobstructed river between Gu Mu, Gu Shi, and Crystal, flowing continuously to Gu Mu.
Gu Shi played more of a transit station role in it.
While Gu Shi was wholeheartedly supplying magic power to Gu Mu, the battle situation outside was gradually escalating.
In addition to the large number of monsters that gathered, a large number of demons also appeared one by one, bringing great pressure to Zhang Bei and his team's defense.
Zhang Bei and his team's combat mode initially changed from one person guarding Gu Shi, three people responsible for protection, and the other six people fighting flexibly, to two people defending and seven people fighting.
Even Zhang Bei, who was in charge of commanding and guarding Gu Shi, had to take over part of the defensive burden.
The protective shield they initially laid out had quietly shattered under the enemy's layers of siege, and the only thing that was still holding up was the one they laid out later.
Since entering the protective shield, the team members assigned to the defensive mission have been working non-stop. The large number of defensive arrays given to them by the system are not for decoration.
Thanks to the efforts of these people, they don't know how many layers of protective shields are stacked where they are now. Even if everyone has lost their combat effectiveness, they can still hold on for a few minutes with these protective shields alone.
Although there was a protective shield to support them, Zhang Bei and his team had no intention of hiding inside.
On the contrary, those responsible for flexible combat took the initiative to attack under Zhang Bei's command, leaving the protective shield to target the strongest enemies outside.
After all, these enemies pose the greatest threat to the protective shield, and their casual attack is equivalent to dozens or hundreds of attacks from those low-level monsters.
Initially, this strategy was implemented smoothly. The team members were able to gain some advantage in numbers when fighting the enemy and carried out a righteous beating on the enemy.
But now there are more and more enemies with equal strength to them, but the advantage in numbers soon turns out to be the demons.
