Chapter Seventy-Ninth - The Enigma of the Outer City

  "Alive... did we survive?"

  After barely escaping, the newcomers to the outer city pinched themselves, as if reminding themselves that this was not a dream. The intense pain, however, brought them immense joy. Having gone through countless hardships and almost becoming prey for the Rebirth Beasts, the joy of surviving a disaster made them suddenly feel exhausted.

  "New people, thank our viscount properly, if it weren't for him, you would now be the food of the Rebirth Beasts." Seeing this group of people's frantic joy, the surrounding people couldn't help but coldly rebuke them. In their view, if it weren't for Wàng Chén's last-minute effort to buy them some time, these guys would already be dead.

  People who came to their senses looked at the young man who had just saved them.

  Let them see the reason for forgetting dust at a glance, just because of that stern gaze, wanting to thank, but the outer city transmitted a fierce collision, although they would not take action against their own companions, but they could hit these corpses, and Luo Yu saw through the gap that they were transporting these corpses!

  The crisis is far from over!

  "For God's sake, hurry up and help! They're moving the corpses and crashing into them!" Luo Yu's exclamation made people reveal their shocked expressions, but now it was no longer time for them to think too much. To survive, they had to do something.

  "Boss, are you okay?" Snowfall hurried to his side, smiling slightly: "Fortunately, there's no major harm, don't be so impulsive next time." Snowfall's minor treatment helped Forgotten Dust recover.

  "Don't be stunned, our crisis hasn't been touched yet!" Luo Yu's voice echoed in people's ears once again. Indeed, the corpses that had been piled up with great difficulty began to show signs of instability. If they were to collapse, it would be easy for the Rebirth Beast to break through this place with its power. The big guys inside the outer city hadn't been completely dealt with yet, and if these monsters were to enter the city as well, it would be a disaster of epic proportions for the players. This was absolutely not allowed to happen.

  Wang Chen's intuition flashed a bad feeling, and what he saw through the gap was more real than what he saw outside. These Rebirth Beasts were actually eating their own companions. His eyes trembled slightly, and this was too different from his memories of his past life: "Damn it, could it be that there's also been a subtle change in my relationship with them? These Rebirth Beasts wouldn't attack their companions... what's gone wrong?"

  While thinking, we must also think of all possible ways to prevent such things from happening.

  At the same time, players at various destruction points also encountered the same situation. Despite their efforts to block the city gate, those resurrected beasts were destroying the not-yet-fully-reinforced city gate. At this rate, everything they had worked hard for would be in vain before long.

  "Grass, at this rate we're definitely going to die. What are those guys from the Liberation Army and Leaf doing?" In times of crisis, people will think of ways to rely on something, and the Liberation Army is the only existence that can fight against a large number of regenerating beasts, so people thought of them.

  "Lang Wolf, what are we going to do now? If we stay here any longer, we'll be dead." Lang Wolf's face showed a look of panic, but still seemed shocked.

  "Death, we'd die even if we gave up the fight. A task with no time limit, it will never end unless we die. From the start, our fate was already decided. We're doomed to die, and if not, this debt must be remembered by the kingdom."

  "Everyone listen to me, no matter what, we must hold our ground here. Unless all the destruction points collapse completely, I think none of those old foxes want to see this happen." As expected, just as the wolf's voice fell, Xue Wu Qing spent a thousand gold coins on regional broadcasting, and the content was nothing more than asking everyone to hold their position.

  The Free Legion also sent a message that they had dispatched architects to the major battlefields, and as long as they held on for a while, they could thoroughly consolidate the city walls.

  This news undoubtedly gave people a glimmer of hope.

  "When the architect arrives, we will collapse first. We must think of a way to solve this situation." Luo Yu thought continuously about the next action, but there was no sign of the Freedom Corps around him. If they waited for their support, the situation here would be more precarious than anywhere else. After all, the players' levels were uneven and their quality was not as rigorous as other forces. Once the beast broke through, these people would only scatter like birds and beasts, and there would be no way to save them at that time.

  "Damn it, I didn't think I'd have to make such a difficult choice. Is there any other way to stop this?" Wu Chen thought of the corpse's method although successful, but it did not solve the fundamental problem, Luo Yu had no choice but to think of new methods. Just as he was at a loss, a drop of fresh blood suddenly fell on his forehead.

  "Blood?" He stretched out his hand to wipe it off, and suddenly lifted his head to see countless corpses with blood gushing out like a spring. When Luo Yu saw this, he suddenly had an epiphany in his mind, and excitedly shouted: "Is there an elementalist? Not... even fire, ice, or ash skills are fine!"

  "Fire, ice, lime?" Forgetting Dust suddenly remembered something and looked at the fresh blood flowing from those reborn beasts. His eyes lit up in an instant: "No fire-type profession tools are needed, now's not the time to hide or conceal anything, hurry up and move if you don't want to die!"

  "Give me all the fire to attack but don't destroy the corpses, aim at the blood and give me a concentrated attack, then burn them fiercely!!" Once the blood encounters fire, it should evaporate under high temperature, but because there is too much blood, in the midst of flames these corpses will be connected together, finally solidifying. If stone lime or ice energy is added, these corpses will become completely fixed!

  At that time, the city wall will be indestructible!

  However, the fire-based professions are scarce, and not everyone can successfully switch to an Elementalist. Without sufficient spiritual power, it is impossible to become a qualified Elementalist. Nevertheless, a small number of people have stood out, and some have used precious scrolls.

  "Is this still not enough? What other way is there, let's think together."

  "Fire, will fire do?" In the absence of a response, a group of newcomers suddenly raised their arms and shouted. With no time to waste, Luo Yu had them take immediate action.

  "If limestone is mixed with water, won't it form a solid?" Suddenly, a newcomer looked at Wang Chen with a curious face, and Wang Chen nodded: "That's right."

  The players were overjoyed when they heard this, and said something to their fleeing companions. Then, to Forgetting Dust and Luo Yu's surprise, they picked up the limestone and cement used for building. Next, Forgetting Dust and Luo Yu saw a shocking scene: Luo Yu immediately ordered everyone to stop the fire attack. The moment the slaked lime and water combined, because it was a game, the effect was also ten times that of the real world. In an instant, all the corpses were connected together, and in less than a minute, a huge wall was formed in a hurry. The wall solidified into the ferocious face and massive limbs of the Regenerating Beast, giving off a chilling feeling that made one's hair stand on end.

  "Did it work?" People showed surprised faces, but still couldn't let their guard down: "According to this method, gamble the second wall body, don't stop, use as many of these things as there are, all losses will be borne by the kingdom, you will be heroes."

  Under Luo Yu's stimulation, the newcomers became more energetic. The man who was at the forefront of the crowd happened to be an architect, so his backpack was almost all related to architecture, but no one expected that these low-grade goods would become a lifesaver, saving the lives of tens of thousands of people.

  When they successfully sealed the city gate, even Lian Wucheng let out a sigh of relief. From the looks of it, the Rebirth Beasts outside the outer city seemed to have no way to deal with the frozen corpse city gate, and could only howl and whine in frustration, but for now, they were safe.

  Just as they relaxed, two unusual auras suddenly appeared. Wàng Chén and Luò Yǔ's faces turned grave as they stood up abruptly, the extra figures in the crowd revealing their surprise.

  "It's someone from the Freedom Legion." Wàng Chén and Luó Yǔ exchanged a glance but didn't say anything.

  "You guys actually managed to block yourselves?" The late-arriving members of the Freedom Corps looked shocked, apparently thinking that without their help, this group of newcomers should have been in a much more difficult situation. Fortunately, they had even sent two architects to provide support.

  After a brief conversation, two architects of the Free Legion made some consolidation and left immediately. It can be seen that other battlefields are not optimistic either.

  But their appearance, however, caught the attention of Wang Chen. The Freedom Corps had sent architects from the very beginning, which means that this was premeditated and targeted. Now, as he calmed down, Wang Chen suddenly realized all of this, just like he was being manipulated behind his back. This feeling involuntarily made him think of a possibility!

  Everything that happened on the street, to this day, is still vivid in his mind, and at this moment, the mysterious man in black is like a sharp knife piercing into his heart, reminding him of something.

  "Could it be..."

  In this outer city shrouded in gloom, there is a stunning secret that most people are unaware of.

  In the dimly lit basement, two men slowly descended deeper into the ground.

  "With all that you've done, is the key to saving the kingdom really here?" The puzzled voice rose, its tone unmistakably familiar.

  "Hehehe, on your turf and in your stronghold, I don't dare to risk my life and joke with you. This is an important message left by a strong person from the previous era." The faint words trailed off, and the dark underground passage stretched out into the distance...
