Chapter 1716 - 1715: The Protective Shield Strikes Back!
"Cough, cough..."
Qin Feng broke the silence, then said to Mei Niang, Ling’er and the others, "You all can go take a look."
Ling’er was still sulking, thinking he was still putting on an act.
Shuiyun Immortal hesitated for a moment, picked up a Qiankun Bag, and reached her hand inside.
The next moment.
She was completely stunned!
She widened her eyes and looked into the Qiankun Bag again, her gaze full of shock, and said to everyone, "Young Master Qin... wasn’t lying..."
As soon as the words fell.
The crowd outside in the Inner World burst into roaring laughter!
"Hahahahaha..."
"Your acting’s pretty good, huh, teaming up to scare us? Hahaha..."
"..."
Shuiyun Immortal then said to Ling’er and the others again, "What I’m saying is true!"
Mei Niang’s expression turned serious. She picked up a Qiankun Bag and looked inside, her eyes equally shocked, then her mouth split into a grin: "Truly worthy of being my son-in-law!"
"You all..."
Ling’er sighed inwardly.
No helping it.
Everyone was helping Qin Feng act, so she could only go along with it too.
She deliberately picked up a Qiankun Bag, opened it while thinking about how to make her expression look even more shocked in a bit.
Who knew.
When she saw the Spirit Stones inside, her whole body went rigid!
Her pupils dilated, her small mouth fell open; she simply couldn’t believe what she was seeing was real!
Then.
Coming back to her senses, she hurriedly reached in to feel the aura of the Spirit Stones.
Sure enough, just like what she’d seen, every single Spirit Stone inside contained Spiritual Power aura a hundred times that of an ordinary Spirit Stone!!
"One is equal to a hundred, then if there are six million... six... six hundred million?!!"
Ling’er muttered in a daze.
Outside.
The people of the Inner World were already laughing so hard their stomachs hurt.
"Keep acting, keep acting, hahahahaha..."
"I’m dying of laughter over here."
"You guys really act pretty damn convincingly, hahahaha..."
"..."
In the courtyard, everyone’s faces lit up with excitement, and when they looked at Qin Feng, their eyes were full of disbelief.
Six hundred million!
There were a full six hundred million Spirit Stones here!!
"Now... we’re saved!" Ling’er was so excited at this moment that tears were about to fall, and said to the Holy Daughter, "We wronged Qin Feng. He really brought six hundred million Spirit Stones!!"
The Holy Daughter looked at Qin Feng, her eyes as soft as water, and said, "From here on, leave it to me!"
At this moment.
The man outside holding the Heavenly Thunder Hammer, after laughing, said to everyone, "Quiet down, we’ve already wasted too much time here. Time to get down to business—destroy the Protective Shield first!"
"Yeah, I can’t be bothered to watch them act anymore, smash that Protective Shield!"
"..."
The others all began shouting as well.
Then.
The people of the Inner World began channeling their aura into their Divine Weapons.
The sea of people turned dazzling and colorful.
Gang Qi was gathered everywhere.
"Attack!!"
The man with the Heavenly Thunder Hammer struck first. He leaped high into the air and smashed down fiercely at the transparent Protective Shield!
Crack!!
A massive Heavenly Thunder ripped through the air itself and crashed toward the Protective Shield.
At the same time, the others were also condensing blade glows and Sword Qi, madly bombarding all around the Protective Shield.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The transparent Protective Shield continuously erupted with violent explosions.
Even the ground all around shook non-stop.
...
A quarter of an hour later.
The intense explosions finally stopped.
The surroundings quieted down as well.
Everyone was panting heavily from exhaustion, muttering, "What’s going on? Didn’t they say their Protective Shield was about to give out? With such a fierce round of attacks, we still didn’t break through?"
"They can’t hold out much longer." The man with the Heavenly Thunder Hammer wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, gulping for air as he said, "They must be using their last Spirit Stones and their last Divine Weapons to put up a final struggle. We go for one more wave, that should about do it!"
"Alright!"
Everyone nodded, gripping their Divine weapons tightly, preparing to attack again.
Just then.
Suddenly, a huge Fireball flew out from inside the Protective Shield!
The Fireball passed straight through the Protective Shield and went directly toward the crowd outside.
Boom!!
Within a two-kilometer radius, it instantly became a vast Fire Sea!!
The crowd couldn’t help but panic. "Wh-what the hell is going on??"
At this moment.
One person suddenly seemed to be scared out of his wits and shouted, "E-everyone be careful! Dodge, now!!"
Everyone looked up.
They saw, to their shock, countless dense Ice Arrows suddenly burst out from inside the Protective Shield!!
The Ice Arrows were razor-sharp!
Once they hit someone, they pierced straight through, and without giving their Inner Strength any chance to repair the damage, they froze the entire body directly into a block of ice!
"Goddammit! What the hell’s going on? Their Defense Towers... are back online??"
The man with the Heavenly Thunder Hammer grumbled while dodging the Ice Arrows.
Crack!
Crack!
All around the Protective Shield, arcs of lightning suddenly appeared and began bombarding the crowd.
Every time one struck the ground, it left behind a massive crater.
Which was enough to show how powerful the lightning was!
The man with the Heavenly Thunder Hammer had just dodged an Ice Arrow when a bolt of lightning from inside the Protective Shield blasted a huge pit open under his feet, and he fell into it with a solid thump.
Bang!!
Another huge Fireball was hurled out.
It landed directly in the pit.
The man miserably used all his strength to extinguish the flames on his body, barely crawling out of the blazing crater. He looked with difficulty toward the Protective Shield and was immediately stunned: "Th-this is impossible... Weren’t their Defense Towers already finished..."
Right before his eyes, all the previously dim and lifeless Defense Towers inside the Protective Shield were now standing all around the perimeter, constantly firing out Ice Arrows, Fireballs, Thunderstorms and more.
Throwing them into utter chaos.
At the same time.
The transparent Protective Shield also gradually stopped being transparent, reverting back to the previous state where you could only see out from the inside, but couldn’t see in from outside!
"C-could it be... they really have... enough Spirit Stones??"
"..."
Inside.
The defensive layer was fully restored!
The Defense Towers were fully restored!
Ling’er, Mei Niang and the others were all extremely excited. Looking at the Holy Daughter, who was forming Hand Formation after Hand Formation to control the Defense Towers, they said, "We’ve finally safeguarded everything!"
The Holy Daughter slowly withdrew her power, her beautiful eyes turning to Qin Feng as she said, "Thank you."
It was precisely because Qin Feng had enough Spirit Stones that she was able to restore the camp’s defensive Great Formation in such a short time.
"No need to be so polite."
Qin Feng waved his hand.
He was inwardly deeply shocked.
No wonder this defensive Array required such an enormous number of Spirit Stones; so this was how terrifying its power was!
The ones gathered outside were Inner World experts.
This kind of Array was truly beyond imagination.
How exactly had she done it?
Right then.
A loud voice sounded from outside: "Holy Daughter, I advise you to give up! So what if you’ve repaired the defensive Array? Like I said just now, we know why you’re here—to transfer the Catastrophe Beasts into various Small Worlds. But there’s something you still don’t know, right? While you were gravely injured, all those Arrays you set up in the various Small Worlds—we destroyed them!"
"That’s right! All your preparations have gone down the drain!"
"If you want to live, you better give up!"
"..."
