Chapter 158 - 158 A Counterattack
158 A Counterattack
The young lad and lass followed Bing Qingqing carefully, using the debris of the obstacles to reach a house that was still intact.
They gently pushed the door open and there was a Saltorat in charge of receiving them.
SQUEAK, SQUEAK…
Since it was a familiar scent, the Saltorat immediately crouched down and continued to keep watch.
!!
After walking through the long corridor, they arrived at the storage room and found quite a few people there. The originally spacious space now seemed very crowded.
However, they couldn’t care about that now.
“We’re safe now. Have a good rest here. At least you can have a good sleep.” Bing Qingqing laughed as she faced the crowd.
“Qingqing!”
At that moment, the young girl who was crying earlier saw a face, and her tears fell again.
The scene of their reunion moved the others.
In just a few hours, no one could clearly count how many members of each team had gone missing and how many had died.
After a moment of joy, the scene once again fell into silence.
That’s because any slight movement would likely attract the attention of the parasitized Beasts outside.
Soon, Ye Lin rushed back with a few people.
“The situation is still very troublesome. Xuanyuan Hong and his men were already covered in blood, but in the end, they couldn’t withstand the attacks and retreated to a corner to rest.”
“Even Xuanyuan Hong can’t do anything about it?”
Bing Qingqing’s brows were filled with worry as she asked, “Is there any news from the outside?”
“No, there isn’t.” Ye Lin shook his head.
Upon hearing the news, the people around them were all in low spirits.
After all, the Spiral Realm was separated from reality. In the current situation, everyone could only survive by relying on themselves.
“I’ll go and save some more people,” said Bing Qingqing.
Under such a situation, Bing Qingqing could not sit still. She immediately prepared to leave the storage room to look for the other victims.
“Don’t go!” Ye Lin stopped Bing Qingqing. He sighed, “There’s no need for that anymore. That group of Beasts is currently searching around the building ruins. It’s safest to stay here.”
There were many spices in the storage room that could cover their smell. It was also one of the reasons why it was a temporary safe zone.
“But …” Bing Qingqing gritted her teeth and tried to do something. She didn’t know what else to say so she muttered, “If only Su Bai was here.”
“Su Bai? That’s right, we’ve been looking for him for a long time, but we couldn’t find him,” Ye Lin said, suddenly jolting awake.
“Maybe he’s still hunting Beasts in the wild.” Bing Qingqing laughed bitterly.
Now that there were heavy casualties among the Beastmasters, they could only pray that Su Bai wasn’t involved in this mess yet.
The storage room once again fell into silence. This silence was filled with desolation.
The occasional roars of Beasts could be heard from the outside, causing everyone present to feel fear.
“Ahem, can you hear me?”
Suddenly, a voice was heard.
However, no one at present responded. After all, it was not easy to just calm down. They were not in the mood to chat.
“Why do I feel that this voice is a little familiar? I think I’ve heard of it somewhere,” Ye Lin said after realizing it.
“I think so too. It sounds like Su Bai’s voice!” Bing Qingqing looked around, but she couldn’t find Su Bai.
“Maybe I heard it wrong,” Bing Qingqing said with a bitter smile.
“Hey, hey, hey ~”
The voice appeared again, this time it was clearer to hear from their mind.
“Since you’re not replying, I’ll just say it directly. The Beasts that are currently attacking the town are in a state after being parasitized by the insectoid. If you want to live, you have to fight.”
“It’s really Su Bai!” Bing Qingqing’s watery eyes were wide open, as she said in disbelief. “Why did his words appear in my mind?”
However, no one could answer this question because everyone had a shocked expression.
“Who’s talking?”
“F*ck, what is that? He can actually speak in my head!”
“Who is it?!”
“Shh! Don’t be so loud, be careful not to attract the Beasts outside.”
“This guy makes it sound so simple. If we can fight, why would we stay here? “It’s really easier said than done!” someone complained in disdain.
But just as that person finished, Su Bai’s words slammed his face.
“Actually, it’s very easy to deal with these parasitized Beasts. You just need to attack the parasite, which is the position of the back cervical spine.
“I repeat, attack the back of the spine of the Beast. Kill the parasite and you can kill it completely!”
At that moment, all the Beastmasters in the town were shocked.
“Is it feasible? What if it’s false information?” someone asked timidly.
“Coward. We’ll be discovered sooner or later anyway. Why don’t we just have a great fight!”
“I can’t hold it in anymore, I’ll die in battle!”
“That’s right, who’s going to try with me?”
...
“Me!”
If some people chose not to believe, then naturally there would be others who chose to believe.
Soon, they left the temporary shelter and attacked the back of the Beasts.
It worked! The Beasts that were hit in the back of its neck were paralyzed on the spot.
Bing Qingqing had already verified this weakness. Since Ye Lin was a little fan of Su Bai, he immediately took his men to find the Beasts and attacked decisively when he knew it was Su Bai’s voice.
“It’s actually true!”
Looking at the motionless Beast, everyone shed tears of joy.
The Beast they had chosen was a Lower-Gold level, its strength was definitely not weak!
Thanks to Su Bai’s warning, the Beastmasters hiding in the town were quickly gathering together.
Only by gathering all their forces in one place could this counterattack be completely launched!
At the same time, besides the stone stele in the Spiral Realm’s Third Heaven.
...
Su Bai retracted his consciousness.
Now that he had basically mastered the stone stele of the Spiral Realm in the Third Heaven, it would only be a matter of time before he took over the Spiral Realm in the Second Heaven.
Su Bai’s gain this time was quite bountiful. Not only was he able to transmit his voice to everyone through the stone stele, but he also discovered that the stone stele had a trace of intelligence.
Unfortunately, due to the erosion of the Dawn Larvae all year round, it had been destroyed.
The stone stele’s intelligence was like a candle in the wind, so weak that it could die at any time.
Su Bai closed his eyes and kept digesting the huge amount of information in his consciousness.
There were three levels of heaven in the Spiral Realm, and Su Bai could see further and clearer in each level than he did in the Second Heaven.
“What’s this…”
All of a sudden, Su Bai felt two powers that did not belong to the Spiral Realm.
He immediately tried to control it and observe.
This process didn’t take too much effort, and he was able to reverse the power with a glance.
“The governors’ meeting hall?!”
In his consciousness, Su Bai saw a group of people staring at the screen. Among them were Gu Yan, the governor of Los Monstaria, and Huo Hua, whom he knew well.
If Su Bai’s guess was correct, the outside world already knew about the attack on the town.
It was only a matter of time before the passage was opened.
As expected, the other force was the aftermath of the Beastmasters outside trying to forcefully open the tunnel.
Judging by the progress, it would take at least two to three days to completely open the passage.
