Chapter 100 Hidden money Those who are slightly stronger will go downstairs to fight in a round-robin battle, while those who are slightly weaker will be left on the city wall to operate the spiritual cannon. One by one, spirit stones were loaded into the cannon to bombard the surging monsters, but there were too many monsters pouring out from the forest, and they could not bomb them all. They watched their fellow Taoists fighting under the city wall being killed and injured by the monsters. They were heartbroken but helpless. The monsters that emerged from the snow-covered forest began to injure people and attack the city. Two days and two nights have passed. Despite such a big incident, there has been no movement from the sect, and calls for help have not been responded to, and communications have not been returned. In this situation, either the sect has given up on them, or something has happened to the sect! But no one dared to think too deeply about this. It was a matter of life and death, and the lives of the people in the city behind them. As long as they held on to a glimmer of hope in their hearts, they could hold on. But now, the sect’s assistance seems not to be their only hope. The ordinary-looking, short-statured female cultivator actually tied up more than 30 people with wooden vines at the same time and flew into the air, shaking off the bites of the monsters, and took them straight up the city wall and put them in a safe area. Zhou Ling didn't know that when she led that group of people into the air, in the eyes of some monks guarding the city wall, she looked like a glowing savior, dispelling the haze in their hearts and the fear of death. "Those who are seriously injured should retreat to the rear to rest. Those who are slightly injured and uninjured should follow me. I need you to use your own spiritual power as a supply. As long as the output of spiritual power is strong enough, the defensive formation of the city wall can arouse its deeper protection mechanism, so that it can last longer."
While arranging the division of labor, Zhou Ling comforted them in a gentle tone. Hearing her voice, many people who were seriously injured and almost couldn't come back had some warmth in their eyes. When these two female cultivators left the city earlier, they did not inform them where they were going. They thought… they thought these two felt that things here were too troublesome and they did not want to get involved, so they fled on their own. Unexpectedly, it was still these two female cultivators who turned back to save them at the critical moment! Zhou Ling naturally had no idea what they were thinking behind their backs. She was only sure of one thing: since she wanted to help them, she had to be fully sure that she could protect the people in the city without endangering her and her mother. The defensive formation drawn previously was not simply strengthened, but slightly improved. This hidden version of the defense-enhancing function that can be activated later was not something she had deliberately planned to keep in the bottom of the box, but because of time constraints, it was not completed completely and had defects. If they want to activate it, these people must inject spiritual power into it with all their strength. Of course, she and her mother are both in the foundation-building stage, and their spiritual energy reserves are sufficient, so they can also activate it. However, there are only two of them in the entire city who can fight, and they cannot easily consume too much of their spiritual power in order to deal with emergencies. Originally, these monks who were guarding the city were brought back, and they could only stand on the city wall and worry because they couldn't kill the monsters. Now, when they heard that they could do something practical for the city, how could they refuse? They wanted to take the initiative to contribute their spiritual power. "They attacked the city three times in two days, and each time they attacked more fiercely than the last. But the suspicious thing is that the guardian beasts I calculated are not in the city. Mother, besides the guardian beasts, is there anything else in the city that can attract them? Are there any similar legends left?" Zhou Ling touched his chin, standing on the city wall and watching the formation under his feet being activated again, emitting dazzling golden light. (End of this chapter)
