Xiao Ye felt that he had ascended to heaven on the spot. The painful thing was that his health bar still existed tenaciously.
The players who shared their senses with him were also in pain and would probably never forget this special experience.
It was to the point where a post appeared on the forum:
Starry Sky Mine Protection Guide 0.1: Don’t share your perspective with others, because you will never know if what you are about to face is a splash of hot feces.
Of course, the players who knew the whole story burst into laughter below.
As for Xiao Ye, he adjusted all his senses to 0 and finally felt that he was alive again. The system notification also sounded.
[Ding~ You have survived in a highly corrosive solution and gained corrosive resistance +1.]
Players who chose to watch rather than empathize couldn’t help typing a string of ‘6666’ on the public channels.
“Brother, you are so lucky!”
“Hahaha, if you survive a catastrophe, then there will be a blessing!”
Xiao Ye couldn’t help rolling his eyes.
Just as if he wanted this blessing?
However, in the face of the second wave of imminent ‘magic attacks’, he decisively drank health medicine. Then he turned into a heavy sword and pierced the butt of the interstellar beast in front of him.
The interstellar beast screamed. A damage number appeared above its head and it ran faster.
In the process, the heavy sword was inevitably baptized by waves of golden-red liquid.
However, after turning down his real senses, Xiao Ye no longer felt anything. He couldn’t smell anything, so he simply broke the jar. It was because…
[Ding~ Congratulations on successfully removing the impurities from your body during the corrosion. You have become purer and sharper. The level of the Metal Type Transformation- Heavy Sword +1. Experience +500 and physique +10.]
“Hahahaha, my transformation has been upgraded again!” Xiao Ye laughed proudly.
The players who watched from his perspective were briefly silent before deciding to stay away from this friend in the future. Some people didn’t forget to remind him.
“Brother, have you ever thought that you might not be able to wash this smell off your body?”
Xiao Ye, “……”
This wave of attacks had an effect on the interstellar beasts. After breaking through the defense line of the City of the Braves, the momentum of the beast wave slowed down significantly.
After all, not everyone could withstand that ‘magical’ attack!
The beasts still approached the high wall, but when they were hundreds of meters away, the ground suddenly trembled. Sharp steel bars pierced out of the ground, stabbing the interstellar beasts fiercely.
What was even more amazing was that—
These steel bars could actually shrink!
As the injured interstellar beasts continued to run forward due to their momentum, the steel bars continued to stab out and attack the beast on the ground behind them.
On the battlefield, the screams of the interstellar beasts came and went.
The speed of the beast wave slowed down further. Interstellar beasts continued to fall, becoming an obstacle to the beast wave behind them.
On top of the high wall, dozens of metal elementalists turned pale and sweat broke out on their foreheads. They controlled the steel bars and drank potions to restore their magic power.
Each of them was equipped with a wind magician, constantly releasing powerful wind blades. Meanwhile, the soldiers on the high wall continued to load raw materials and continued to attack the group.
The interstellar beasts at the front fell one after another. The battlefield was filled with an unbearable smell. However, the soldiers on the high wall all wore masks and seemed unaffected.
“Why do I think that these NPCs are more powerful than us?” Some players watched the scene in front of them through Xiao Ye’s perspective and couldn’t help sighing.
“It reminds me of the horror of being robbed of kills by Silin.”
“So if we don’t work hard, all the monsters will be stolen by NPCs!”
“Brothers, I don’t think this is the time to talk about this.”
Xiao Ye’s voice suddenly sounded faintly in the channel. He asked.
“The guy who gave me the idea just now. So… how do I… pull myself out?”
His perspective had long since stopped moving.
He saw that the interstellar beast he was piercing had fallen to the ground after dying under the attacks of the elementalists. Xiao Ye, who had transformed into a heavy sword, naturally couldn’t move any longer.
The force was too strong just now. It caused him to get firmly stuck in the flesh and blood of the interstellar beast. He couldn’t pull it out on his own.
On this chaotic battlefield, it was impossible for a shadow guard to appear and rescue him from the interstellar beast like last time. It was even more impossible for players to run here.
As for the NPCs on the high walls, they couldn’t be counted on.
In the midst of the galloping beasts, a gust of wind blew.
For a moment, the heavy sword stuck in the butt of the interstellar beast looked so lonely.
On the high wall, the general walked up to the wind elementalist and said respectfully, “Your Highness Silin, His Majesty sent an order for you to return immediately.”
The woman wearing the mask only showed a pair of purple eyes. She looked more resolute than ever and her whole body exuded a sharp aura.
After being rescued from her predicament and returning to the empire, she had only returned to the palace twice at the beginning to meet Joan and Aunt Val. For the rest of the time, Silin had been following the army’s actions and never slacked off for a moment.
In the past four years, her brother had been the driving force for her to survive in desperate situations.
Now, killing and revenge had become the reason for her to continue to live.
She couldn’t kill herself, nor could she enjoy the peaceful and happy life in Imperial City.
During those two nights in the palace, she couldn’t sleep peacefully at all when living in her former palace and lying on the bed she missed so much.
She always woke up from her dreams and always remembered those who had passed away.
It was only by fighting on the battlefield and squeezing out her last bit of energy every day that she could fall asleep without any distracting thoughts.
Perhaps dying on the battlefield one day while fighting against an interstellar beast would be her only destination.
As for Roland, there was Snow, Joan and Aunt Val. She could feel completely at ease.
She had participated in the action plan from the moment she knew that the beast wave was coming back.
This time, she would never let the interstellar beasts hurt any of her people again or take away anyone who was important to her!
Silin’s hands kept moving and a muffled voice sounded from under the mask.
“Did His Majesty say what is going on?”
She actually saw the message that Snow sent her. However, he didn’t say what it was for. In addition, she had been on the battlefield and didn’t have time to reply to him.
Unexpectedly, he actually asked the general to convey it to her.
“His Majesty said that you will find out when you go back.”
The general said, “In a while, we will also evacuate. There is no need to attack for the time being. Your Highness, why don’t you go back first?”
Their purpose of combat was to hold back the interstellar beasts, split them up and divide them, reduce the power of the beast wave and gradually eat away at the beast wave.
Now was only the first step of the plan. It wasn’t time to die yet.
Silin also knew this truth. But looking at the interstellar beasts below, she couldn’t suppress the hatred and violence in her heart. She was filled with murderous intent the moment she saw them.
“Is this a military order?” She whispered.
The general paused as he looked at the woman’s cold eyes. He didn’t dare to speak, but thinking of His Majesty’s order, he nodded bravely.
“Yes, Your Highness!”
Silin glanced at him lightly. After making the general feel terrified, she finally stopped.
She was reluctant but she was still a soldier.
Soldiers had to obey orders.
Seeing her stop, the general finally sighed with relief. He respectfully asked Silin to come down from the high wall. Then he returned to his post and continued to preside over the overall situation.
Silin flew down from the wall. She nimbly avoided some traps and finally landed on top of a magic circle.
This was a small teleportation circle. It was only around ten meters in diameter and could accommodate 20 people passing through at a time. Unlike the large teleportation circle of the main city, this magic circle was also shrouded in a light curtain.
This was designed and built by Mr Dominic. It had both teleportation and concealment defense functions. After the army evacuated, there was no need to worry about the teleportation circle being destroyed in a short period of time.
Silin took one last look at the high wall before her figure slowly disappeared above the magic circle. When she reappeared, she was already near the military camp of Imperial City.
“I greet Your Highness!”
The soldiers stationed at the teleportation circle saw her and saluted quickly.
Silin took off her mask and nodded at them. After smelling herself, she couldn’t help frowning. She left the teleportation circle and returned to her tent.
By the time she came out again, she had changed into clean clothes. She got on the shuttle as quickly as possible.
She returned to the palace but didn’t rush to meet the emperor. She went back to her bedroom first.
After some hard scrubbing, Silin felt that the strange smell on her body was gone. It was at this time that she finally regained a bit of the feeling that she was still a girl.
But after all, she still couldn’t go back.
She controlled the wind element and blow-dried her short hair. She looked at the smartly dressed woman in the mirror who looked strong and capable. It seemed that she could no longer find the shadow of her teenage years.
She fiddled with her short hair casually. Then Silin withdrew her gaze, turned and left her palace.
On the way to the emperor’s palace, she looked at the communicator again. Snow still hadn’t explained why he was so anxious to summon her back.
She wasn’t worried about her brother’s safety. He was safer than anyone in the empire unless Si Sheng rebelled.
So what was the reason?
Silin imagined many answers in her mind. She never expected that the answer would be this one.
She couldn’t believe her eyes when she walked into the emperor’s palace and saw the thin figure standing by the window. She could only stand there blankly, worried that the hallucination she had would disappear.
The man’s long silver hair was cut a bit above his shoulders. The ends of his hair didn’t seem to have been trimmed. It seemed like it had been cut straight across and looked a bit strange.
However, this didn’t affect his beauty.
Wind blew outside the window and raised his hair. At this moment, he seemed to notice something and turned his head to look at Silin.
Once he saw her, a slight smile appeared on the man’s cold, handsome face, which was lit up brightly and warmly by the sunlight shining in from outside the window.
He looked at her and whispered, “Silin, are you back?”
Silin’s tears suddenly couldn’t stop. She stared at him greedily, her voice trembling uncontrollably.
“Brother…”
Then she strode toward the man and hugged him. Even if this was just her hallucination, even if…
Silin was stunned.
She raised her head blankly and touched the man’s cheek with her palm. She felt the warmth under her palm and couldn’t help murmuring, “Why does it seem… real?”
