Chapter 280 - 167: Holding the Door! The Lifesaving Fortress Defense Line! Another Evolution and Mutation

BOOM—

The Bloodthirsty Vine pierced the Stone Claw Eagle’s wing, causing its massive body to fall onto the cliff.

Its weight crushed countless natural stone pillars and rock walls within the caves, causing a massive collapse akin to a landslide.

Fortunately, this part of the mountain was solid enough, or else even the exit might have been buried.

But Chen Chong, who had just barely managed to take cover, had his mind elsewhere—on the school several thousand meters away...

The Fortress Defense Line... had been triggered!

Ever since this Card was used, it had hardly ever been activated, and he had almost forgotten about it.

After all, its only function was to form a barrier around his home, preventing anyone from breaking in from the outside.

The defensive strength of the Fortress Defense Line was directly tied to Chen Chong, its user.

The stronger Chen Chong was, the higher the resistance limit of the Fortress Defense Line.

To completely break through the Fortress Defense Line, it was impossible to force a breach unless Chen Chong died or the damage it sustained reached its limit.

Although it was an extremely rare A-Class Card, its function was indeed very singular.

This sudden turn of events made Chen Chong’s mind go blank for a moment.

He couldn’t figure out why the Fortress Defense Line would be triggered.

’Could someone at the school be coveting my supplies and trying to force their way in to steal them while I’m away?’

’No, that’s not right!’

’Putting aside the fact that the others at the school aren’t stupid enough to offend a Transcendent like me, the people in the traditional medicine room downstairs and the members from the gymnasium couldn’t possibly hear nothing in broad daylight...’

’Could it be... the Parasites?’

A jolt of alarm went through Chen Chong as he considered a certain possibility.

He had known for a while that they hadn’t eliminated all the Parasites in the plaza last time. He originally thought that after that incident, the remaining Parasites would lay low and restrain themselves. Now, it seemed the opposite was true.

Moreover, given the Bloodthirsty Vine’s intelligence, it was entirely possible for it to manipulate the Parasites into carrying out such a vengeful act!

Just then, Chen Chong’s unique connection to the Fortress Defense Line changed once again.

Since the Fortress Defense Line had never been triggered before, Chen Chong’s connection to it had been limited to just knowing that an almost invisible barrier was protecting the area around his room.

He felt nothing else beyond that.

But now that his apartment room was under attack, the Fortress Defense Line—a "city wall" like existence that could only endure damage without actively attacking—was beginning to feed back the source of the attacks into Chen Chong’s mind...

He saw several very blurry shadows, continuously lashing whip-like objects covered in countless barbs against his room’s main door...

’It really is the Parasites!’

Chen Chong’s eyes narrowed, and killing intent surged within him.

’I can’t believe I didn’t wipe out all these Parasites last time. And now they dare to retaliate against me?’

’It seems I underestimated the Bloodthirsty Vine’s intelligence. Is it willing to completely expose itself and risk its few remaining offshoots just to destroy my main base?’

’This damn thing is so fucking insidious...’

Thank god he had obtained the Fortress Defense Line ability. Otherwise, an ordinary apartment door probably wouldn’t have withstood even a single lash, and the entire door and wall would have been blasted apart.

If they really managed to break in, all the crops, livestock, fish, and various other supplies he had painstakingly accumulated over the last half-month—including the Forging Furnace and the still-growing Rock Armor Eagle—would fall into their clutches.

For him, right now, that would be an absolutely devastating blow!

Thinking of this, Chen Chong felt a surge of relief.

He was so glad he’d gotten the Fortress Defense Line. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

This ability was usually of no help to him, but at a critical moment, one use was all it took...

’I have to get back there, now!’

’Even with the Fortress Defense Line holding them off, the ability has a damage limit. If it reaches its breaking point, it still won’t be able to stop these Parasites.’

’What’s more, Shen Xinrou, Ning Yu, and the Medicine Lady are still in the apartment building.’

With nearly all the Transcendents out here with him, Chen Chong didn’t think Ning Yu could fend off those Parasites on her own.

Even if the people from the gymnasium reacted in time and rushed back to help, ordinary people were just cannon fodder against Extraordinary Creatures.

On the contrary, they would become nutrients for them, assimilated and parasitized to become new Parasites...

"Ah Jun, Wang Biao, where are you?"

Chen Chong quickly stood up from behind the rock wall where he’d been hiding, his voice tinged with anxiety.

When the Stone Claw Eagle was ambushed, everything had happened so fast. He’d been standing on its head and was thrown off immediately, leaving him no time to worry about Xu Jun and the others.

He had no idea if they had been caught in the chaos.

’If they were crushed underneath or fell back into the abyss, that would be a huge problem...’

However, just as Chen Chong was worrying about this, a voice came from not far away...

"Brother Chong, I’m over here..."

Chen Chong followed the voice and was momentarily stunned by what he saw.

Xu Jun was lying prone on the ground, having activated his Turtle Defense.

Beneath him, Wang Biao, Qi Zhen, and the Tiger Striped Dog were all securely protected.

The surrounding falling rocks hadn’t harmed them in the slightest, all deflected away by the shield...

"We need to get back, now! There’s big trouble at home!"

Xu Jun deactivated his Turtle Defense, and the others stood up, all looking confused.

"What’s wrong, Brother Chong? What kind of trouble?"

Chen Chong didn’t hide anything and directly told them that Parasites had invaded the apartment building and were trying to break into his seventh-floor room.

The color drained from their faces.

"We killed so many of those Parasites in the plaza, and they still dare to show their faces and pull something like this?"
