Chapter 159 The Dissipating Protective Shield
Although Li Sijing warned herself in her heart that she had not yet obtained the high-level resource box, she had to be careful in everything she did.
But the rising of the protective shield, which kept the enemies outside, still gave her a great sense of security.
As the tentacles of the jellyfish resource monster in front of her were gradually cut off, Li Sijing's mood improved.
Just as she was beginning to relax her guard, the two people outside the protective shield suddenly made a move.
This sudden action startled her, and she felt a surge of immense sense of crisis.
They're about to get the high-level resource box, so let's hope these two don't pull any tricks under these circumstances.
She knew that the two people had been talking for a long time, but their voices were too soft and they were too far away, so she hadn't heard anything.
Seeing the two standing opposite each other across the protective barrier, Li Sijing, though not understanding the meaning behind it, felt her vigilance rise infinitely.
"Could these two people know something she doesn't?" Li Sijing wondered to herself.
However, speculation is speculation, she must kill the resource monster in front of her; there is no time to waste.
She had been in the water for an hour and ten minutes, and her strength was severely depleted. Continuing to delay would only make the situation more unfavorable for her.
So, while secretly gathering her strength to deal with any unexpected situation, Li Sijing did not stop her hands and swiftly resolved the battle before her.
A white mist flashed across the seawater, the jellyfish resource monster in front of her disappeared, and a yellow resource box appeared in her sight.
[Attention all players! The eighth advanced resource crate has appeared in the jellyfish's underwater space. It will be available in real-time for one hour.]
The survival game notification sounded at the right time, but none of the three people present paid any attention to it.
This is it, the advanced resource box! After a long day of hard work, I finally got it. Li Sijing beamed with joy.
Of course, she wasn't blinded by profit; instead, she immediately activated the return trip card.
After the return trip card was activated, Li Sijing stretched out her hands and hugged the high-level resource box, while looking at Fang Tiancheng opposite her.
The happy smile on his face froze instantly when he saw Fang Tiancheng's actions.
What did she see? She actually saw Fang Tiancheng swimming towards her, and where was the protective shield between them?
[Congratulations to the player for defeating a total of 10 jellyfish resource monsters and obtaining a special resource: High-level Resource Box.]
The high-level resource chest will hover three inches above the player's head. It cannot be looted unless the player is killed. The resource chest can only be opened after one hour.
[Please note that the protective shield will dissipate immediately, and your real-time location has been sent to all players in the area.]
The belated notification reached Li Sijing's ears, making her expression even more unpleasant.
At this point, she no longer had time to think about why the survival game was so unfair.
In such a perilous situation, she couldn't care about anything else; the only thought in her mind was how to escape.
Fang Tiancheng was getting closer and closer to her, and although she didn't look back, she knew that Deng Yangshu wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
Then she could only run to the left or right. Without much thought, Li Sijing quickly ran to the right.
The return trip card has been activated. Now, if she can survive just one minute without being disturbed, she can be teleported back to shore.
The high-level resource box she was holding would only hinder her movements, so naturally Li Sijing couldn't put it into her mustard seed space.
Fortunately, even if she doesn't hold it, the high-level resource box will automatically follow her, and it won't be taken away as long as she doesn't die.
So Li Sijing let go with complete peace of mind, and sure enough, the resource box floated upwards in a very illogical way, finally stopping above her head.
As for the bag of jellyfish heads in her hand, she got it when she killed the 9th resource monster, and she has been holding it ever since.
Now that it was a matter of life and death, she naturally couldn't care less about the bag of jellyfish heads. Li Sijing threw it directly at Fang Tiancheng, trying to slow his progress.
When Li Sijing killed the jellyfish resource monster, she was standing in the middle of the protective shield.
In other words, there was a 5-meter distance between her and both Fang Tiancheng and Deng Yangshu.
For the average person, swimming several tens of meters per minute is more than enough.
Moreover, Li Sijing was standing in the middle, which delayed things by a few seconds.
So in less than half a minute, the distance between the three of them had become closer and closer.
Li Sijing's bag of jellyfish heads slowed Fang Tiancheng down for a few seconds, while Deng Yangshu had already caught up.
Faced with the attack aimed at her shoulder, Li Sijing did not retaliate; instead, she used the force to propel herself forward.
Li Sijing was quite confident in the Xuanwu Scale Armor she wore; if the armor could stop bullets, it could certainly stop a normal attack.
As expected, the opponent's attack did not cause any damage to her shoulder; instead, it increased the distance between them.
Even so, it couldn't make Li Sijing happy, because her return trip card activation had been interrupted.
At the 55-second mark of starting the return card, the startup failed due to Deng Yangshu's attack.
It was only 5 seconds! If she hadn't wasted time after killing the resource monster, she might already be back on shore.
At this moment, Li Sijing felt more regret than the seawater surrounding her.
Because of Deng Yangshu's attack, she managed to dart forward a bit, but this delay allowed Fang Tiancheng to catch up from behind.
Li Sijing had no intention of paying any attention to the attacks that the two were launching from behind.
All she wanted now was to get away from those two people, have a minute of peace and quiet, and then activate the return card to get back to shore.
Fortunately, the Xuanwu scale armor she was wearing was very effective.
Even though their attacks occasionally landed on her back, they did not cause her any damage.
On the contrary, it allows her to use her strength to keep moving forward.
In this situation, if it weren't for the many ordinary jellyfish blocking the way, Li Sijing might have been able to accumulate a minute of time in just a few minutes.
The three of them now form a triangle, with Li Sijing leading the way, blocking most of the ordinary jellyfish.
This made things much easier for the two people following behind her, allowing them to focus their energy on chasing Li Sijing.
This cause-and-effect relationship left Li Sijing feeling quite helpless, but there was nothing she could do to change it.
