Chapter 647 The Clutch Time
This time, the blast was fiercer than any other time. The entire mountain city was affected. Under the reversed shock, the ground trembled violently, and fine cracks spread from the mountain. The pots and pans in the civilian houses were scattered all over the ground.
The rune tactical matrix was broken!
There was no means of protection in Ma Camp!
They were all in panic.
“Roar!!!”
“Squeak—”
On the city wall, when Li Hong heard the iconic weird cry, his pupils shrank suddenly. He stared at the huge open mouth of the giant corpse on the left.
Sure enough, in the next instant, a small palm-sized corpse monster appeared in front of everyone, arrogantly showing a mouthful of canine teeth, which were eerie and terrifying.
A corpse demon!
Li Hong’s murderous intent skyrocketed and he was about to rush out of the city wall, but the corpse demon suddenly disappeared from his eyes, turning into an afterimage and rushing towards the chubby old man.
“No, its target is Chief!”
The King Warrior in red changed his face drastically, but his exhausted body couldn’t respond so fast. Li Hong turned his head. When he found that he had no time to protect Uncle Ma, he got extremely angry.
“Uncle Ma, go back!!”
At this clutch time, the chubby old man tensed up and accelerated his finger gestures. But he was still slower than the corpse demon.
At this moment, news finally was sent to the courtyard from Wu Rong.
“Su Li, something bad happens. The rune tactical matrix is broken!”
In the room, Su Li suddenly opened her eyes. The pervasive breakthrough in her eyes was temporarily suppressed. She put her hands on the ghost tactical matrix patterns that had been prepared on the ground with burning eyes. She said calmly,
“Open!”
Drone!!
The black runes appeared, breaking through the void distance in a blink of an eye. The runes activated all the curb patterns that had been buried before, making them turn into a large black net!
On the city wall, when the corpse demon was about to scratch the chubby old man’s forehead, the black rune barrier appeared from behind the chubby old man without warning. It expanded instantly and directly blew the corpse demon away!
“Squeak!!”
The corpse demon screamed with an angry and frustrated look. Then it dashed into the black mist and disappeared.
The chubby old man finished the gesture, but he didn’t activate it. He stared at the big black tactical matrix that suddenly appeared above his head. He was in daze.
Not only him, the entire city wall fell into dead silence.
From encountering a crisis to finding a way out, from facing death to beating the corpse demon back, they had a such an incredible experience in an instant.
“What…”
The chubby old man put away the tripod, pointing to the black curtain above Li Hong’s head. He asked in doubt, “Which rune artificer sets it?”
Li Hong shook his head blankly, “Rune camp could make an eight-level tactical matrix, which is its limit. Such a tactical matrix…”
Li Hong stared at the light curtain filled with black patterns, reaching out his hand to touch it. He felt it was cold. He scratched his head and had a puzzled look, “Uncle Ma, can…you touch the rune tactical matrix?”
The chubby old man shrank his pupils and reached out his hand to touch the rippling barrier in front of him, and he fell silent.
“What happened?”
All the King Warriors looked at each other. It was too thrilling just now. Now everyone came to their senses. They had been on an emotional roller coaster.
“No, Chief Ma seems to be wondering, too.”
“Why bother with it? Since the corpse demon was temporarily beaten back, we should seize the opportunity to rest.”
The King Warrior in red sat down on one side of the city wall and closed his eyes.
“Hong, have a rest. If it is really the thing I guess, you won’t have to worry for the time being.”
The chubby old man suddenly said, showing a smile, “It seems that there is a powerhouse in our camp.”
Li Hong didn’t know what Uncle Ma saw.
Could such a thin layer of black curtain really withstand the attack of the giant corpse?
Li Hong was deeply skeptical about that, but after years of getting along with Chief, he still chose to trust Chief.
“The alert level of the city gate is reduced to a lower rank.”
When Wu Rong heard the news sent by Dai Hechun, she couldn’t help but look up at the sky blankly, and she muttered, “Is this piece of black curtain covering Ma Camp really arranged by us?”
Dai Hechun also looked at the sky and muttered, “Although I don’t believe it, but…the fact is before us.”
Su Li randomly took out a tactical matrix and let the three of them set it up. It was even more powerful than the eighth-level tactical matrix arranged by a group of rune artificers of rune camp, and it directly degraded the alert level of the city gate.
How powerful was Su Li?
Dai Hechun couldn’t help but think of the scene that Su Li was rescued from the black stones. He was a little nervous and excited.
It seemed that they had saved a big shot!
“You guys, what are you doing?”
At this moment, Li Qingling opened the door with a tired expression.
“Captain, you are back!”
Wu Rong’s eyes lit up and she ran over.
Li Qingling smiled and nodded, “We have done everything that we can do. The artificers of rune camp are all spent. I can’t reverse the course of this event by myself, so Eldest Brother let me come back first.”
“I see. Then you get some rest.”
Wu Rong looked at Li Qingling’s red eyes, and she couldn’t help feeling sorry for her. Things like rune tactical matrix really consumed energy. They were as in good spirits as they hadn’t slept for five days and five nights, but Captain was so tired.
Li Qingling responded and was about to go to bed when Li Hong’s figure appeared in front of the courtyard.
“Eldest Brother!”
Li Qingling’s eyes lit up and ran over immediately.
“Qingling, you’ve suffered a lot.”
When Li Hong saw Li Qingling, the seriousness on his face immediately melted away. He said in a tone filled with gentleness of being an elder brother, “Go and rest quickly.”
“Is the city gate stable?”
Li Qingling saw the fatigue and doubts in the eyes of her eldest brother, and she couldn’t help but ask with concern.
“Uncle Ma said it is temporarily stable. But maybe only he knows when it will be unstable.”
Li Hong was helpless. He had just confirmed that this powerful protective black curtain was indeed not arranged by any of them. The result could only be what Uncle Ma said. There was a hidden powerhouse in the camp. For some reason, that person was still reluctant to show up.
“Where is your team member named Su Li? I didn’t see her.”
Li Hong stopped thinking and said seriously, “I made a special trip to thank her. But for her, we wouldn’t have reunited in the crisis of this city.”
“Eldest Brother is right, but Su Li has been practicing in isolation for several days, and even I can’t see her.”
Li Qingling explained, pointing to the closed door.
“I see. What a bummer.”
Li Hong expressed regret. He was not sure about the survival of Ma Camp. Perhaps… After he left this time, he would never have the opportunity to thank her.
He turned his head and caressed Li Qingling’s soft hair with eyes full of kindness and concern, “You have to take care of yourself. I have to leave.”
“Yeah! Eldest Brother, don’t worry!”
Li Qingling didn’t say much, and she quietly watched her eldest brother leave.
She knew very well that her eldest brother Li Hong did not have much confidence in defeating the corpse demon. Ma Camp held on for six days, but the Master of the circle didn’t show up. It was abnormal.
“Captain, let’s come in and talk.”
Wu Rong closed the courtyard door, and she exchanged glances with Li Dazhuang. Then they pushed the puzzled Li Qingling into the house.
After a while—
“What?! You arranged this black curtain?!”
Li Qingling was stunned.
Wu Rong scratched her head in embarrassment, and said with a slightly red face, “Uh, it was Su Li who asked the three of us to do that.”
“Yes! It took us a few hours!”
Li Dazhuang said proudly. His face lit up.
Li Qingling felt funny. Now all the warriors in Ma Camp were discussing who was the powerhouse behind the black curtain. She originally guessed that it was Su Li’s work, but Su Li was practicing in isolation. So, she didn’t think much about it.
It was difficult to believe that these three reckless muggles had accomplished the feat of saving the camp!
The most incredible thing was that Wu Rong and the other two, laymen of tactical matrix, could do that. How did Su Li make them accurately arrange the tactical matrix in various places in Ma Camp?
Regarding this point, Wu Rong’s explanation was even more mysterious. Li Qingling was so confused, and she finally had no choice but to laugh, turning her head to look at the closed door. She muttered to herself inwardly.
“Be sure to catch up.”
—
“Be sure to catch up! Ah—!”
Ma Jintian’s hair stood upright. He raised his head and screamed, swallowing the remaining half of the blood essence in his mouth. He ran like a wild horse, leaving a huge cloud of dust and a long plow!
Around his waist, there was a special long whip tied up, but the other end of the whip was in the air.
The young man Bing Feng, wearing an aqua blue warrior uniform, turned the ice shield in front of him into the shape which could cause the lowest wind pressure. He looked helpless and curious.
Facing such wind pressure, even he had to light up the ice shield, otherwise…it would jeopardize his image.
“The Poisonous Man Hunting Insect deserves its reputation. This speed was much faster than that of mine.”
Bing Feng sighed, looking at the young man running about wildly on the ground. Maybe the Master of Chimo Circle was the only one who was faster than him in this entire Circle.
The Reincarnation Mirror was really a magical place.
On the city wall—
The chubby old man sat on the middle of the city gate, looking at the gray skin of the two giant corpses. Because of frequent attacks of the curb tactical matrix, their skin was gradually eroded by black, and bluish-black blood flowed out of it. He was shocked.
This was not a simple tactical matrix of Qingshui Circle, but a curb lost in Qingshui Circle!
Only curbs could turn intangible things into tangible things. While maintaining a strong protective ability, it had such a strange attack ability. Even the giant corpse was injured by the reversed shock!
Twenty-one King Warriors worked hard for five days and five nights, and then they only left traces on the giant corpses. But the curb set up by the mystery person could harm the giant corpses in a short time.
“Which old fox of Qingshui Circle is hiding in Chimo Circle? Does the Master of the circle know it?”
The chubby old man had many thoughts, but much less worries.
Anyway, the mystery person could use the curb which was so powerful that the giant corpses couldn’t resist it. Ma Camp could even persist until help arrived, and it didn’t need to use his only treasure.
Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!
Suddenly, the flustered footsteps sounded behind him. The chubby old man frowned slightly and turned his head. What he saw just now made him stunned.
