"Honey, how about I come down with you? It's too much trouble for you to go up and down like this!"
Ning Yanlan looked much better after being healed by the Holy Spirit, but she still shared her thoughts with Jiang Yuan.
"no!"
Jiang Yuan immediately refused, saying, "If the beast tide comes, the people below will definitely be the first to die. It's too dangerous!"
"Isn't it you I'm here? I'm not afraid!" Ning Yanlan said nonchalantly.
"Listen to me, you should just keep throwing fireballs around here. Remember, don't use skills that consume a lot of energy. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, and it's easy to shorten the duration of Holy Spirit Protection!" Jiang Yuan instructed.
"etc!"
Jiang Yuan was about to leave when Ning Yanlan grabbed his wrist.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yuan asked, turning around.
"Um..." Ning Yanlan hesitated, but finally smiled slightly, "Um, be careful, I'll wait for you here!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan smiled and gently kissed her forehead. "Wait for me to come back!"
Jiang Yuan stopped dawdling and jumped off the 30-meter-high city wall. He had to deal with the beast within an hour, otherwise he would have little chance of escaping once he was entangled, and Ning Yanlan would be in mortal danger, which was something he could not bear.
Watching Jiang Yuan leap down, Ning Yanlan murmured to herself, "If only this weren't a mission!"
"Look, that powerful figure has come down again!"
The man who had just been pointing at Jiang Yuan and calling him a deserter suddenly shouted excitedly. They hadn't paid attention when someone was carrying him, but they could only feel the suffocating pressure when a real eighth-tier savage beast was pressing in.
"We're saved!"
The shattered team instantly felt like they had a backbone again. Under the attack of the eighth-tier savage beasts, four groups of ten-man shield warriors were already unable to stand up.
As for the other strength-based classes, they suffered even greater losses. In order to resist the attacks of the eighth-tier savage beasts, the strength-based classes could only sacrifice their lives, and even that sacrifice was far from satisfactory.
Faced with an eighth-tier savage beast with a strength of 400, using human lives to defend against the enemy is no longer a viable strategy.
Compared to the optimism of those below the fifth rank, Yuwen Xin, Leng Yue, and others still frowned. Although Jiang Yuan was strong, he was still human. His energy and stamina had been almost exhausted when dealing with the Sand Scorpion. Now, without any time to catch his breath, he was joining the battle again, so his combat power was questionable.
Bang! The shield warriors of the fifth ten-man squad were blasted apart, and a huge gap was exposed to the beast horde. If no one stopped them, the beast horde would break through their defenses with unstoppable force, making it even more difficult to use the city wall to create a good output environment for the psionic and soul-energy types.
"I'll go!" Yuwen Xin picked up the one-handed shield from the ground, grabbed a sword in one hand, and charged forward.
"Giant Armor!"
Despite coughing up blood, Little Fatty stepped in without hesitation to block the attack. From the moment they chose to become shield warriors, the seed of protecting their teammates from any storm was planted in their hearts. This is the mission of shield warriors.
Leng Yue stopped Jiang Yuan and said with concern, "You should recover a bit!"
She knew why Jiang Yuan went up there; he wouldn't have come down if Ning Yanlan hadn't drained him dry. That's why she suggested that Jiang Yuan recover his energy.
Jiang Yuan shook his head, crushed the Holy Spirit Crystal in his hand, and said, "Don't forget, I am still an ancient martial artist!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan put away his spear and charged forward with his bare hands. Without the support of divine power, the unsealed God-Slaying Spear was just an ordinary weapon, far less useful than the Finger-Binding Wrist.
His thinking was clear: the two shackles combined with the Blood Power Secret Technique would allow him to fight the earth beasts to his heart's content. The divine energy he would recover from absorbing the Holy Spirit Crystal and the energy fed back to him by the Bloodlust would be enough to support him in continuous battles.
"Stubborn to the end!" Leng Yue muttered, then disappeared into the darkness to find the best opportunity to strike.
The Earth Beast is extremely ferocious, and because its size is no different from that of a human, its attacks are more agile. Any single shield warrior who dares to go up to it will face its ferocious attacks.
Yuwen Xin and Xiao Pang stepped forward at the same time, trying to flank the Earth Beast from the left and right. However, the Earth Beast was already nearly ten meters tall, and the two tiny ants did not even register on its mind.
"Get out of here, you trash!"
The earth beast swept its hand casually, expecting to sweep the two away and render them powerless, just like before. But the result surprised it. The two actually stood firm, especially the shield warrior who had transformed. His legs were rooted to the ground and he didn't move an inch.
"Interesting, it even possesses the giant bloodline of my savage beast clan!" The Earth Beast looked at Little Fatty with considerable approval, but because of Little Fatty's shield, the two did not make direct eye contact.
"If you want to storm into Camp 39, ask me first if I agree!" Little Fatty shouted hoarsely.
"I'll give you a chance: join my savage beast clan, and I'll spare your life!"
The earth beast stood there without attacking, instead looking down at Little Fatty.
"Get lost!" the chubby boy refused outright.
"Since that's the case, then die!" The beast clenched its fists, wanting to smash the little fat man into a pulp with one blow.
"Dancing Blade!"
Yuwen Xin abandoned his one-handed shield and dragged his broadsword along. After charging up his strength, he leaped into the air, performed a half-turn, and his blade flashed in a stunning arc before slashing directly at the beast's neck.
He knew perfectly well that the only way to save Little Fatty was to attack from the enemy's position. After all, he was a seventh-tier strength-type, and the earth beasts couldn't ignore his attacks.
However, the idea was far from reality. The earth beasts did not stop attacking Little Fatty, but when they attacked Yuwen Xin, he only shuddered, and a special light-patterned armor appeared on his skin.
"Handsome, I'm sorry!" Yuwen Xin never expected the earth beast to make such a choice. He silently apologized in his heart and did not change his approach. After all, it was useless to sheathe a drawn sword. "I will use this beast's head as a sacrifice for you!"
The two attacked one after the other. Yuwen Xin's Round Blade Dance was a ninth-tier skill, and its combat power, combined with his seventh-tier cultivation level, was terrifying. However, as the attack landed, he was filled with endless regret.
The attack was powerful, but little did it know that the Earth Beast's defense was even stronger. The greatsword struck the Earth Beast's patterned armor, and although it had some effect, by the time it broke through the armor, the sword had almost no power left. With no follow-up, it only lightly grazed a small piece of flesh on the Earth Beast's neck.
"Impossible!" Yuwen Xin's eyes widened like copper bells. He knew exactly what this meant: not only would his attack be fruitless, but Tang Yingjun would also be smashed into mincemeat right before his eyes.
"Haha, die!"
The Earth Beast revealed a cruel smile as it brought its fist down. In its eyes, the burst of power, weighing over 100,000 jin, was enough to instantly kill any shield warrior below the eighth rank.
