Chapter 1870 - 1869: Waiting to Spend All the Money!

An hour later.

A loud "boom" was heard.

The only remaining defense tower he had was completely smashed by the half-beast’s wolf tooth hammer.

Soon after.

A wave of enemies surged towards the direction of the Life Tower.

"Damn it..."

Young Master Ling was extremely frustrated and could only lead over three hundred soldiers to immediately retreat from the Life Tower.

This wave was destined to be defended.

Sure enough!

Fifteen minutes later.

Under the enemy surge’s frenzied attack, the Life Tower collapsed with a bang and headed towards the Purple Crystal Stone.

Ling then controlled the three hundred soldiers, maneuvering while drawing aggro, fighting and pushing steadily to buy as much time as possible.

The destruction of the Life Tower only resulted in a downgrade, falling to "Level 4 Surge".

But if the Purple Crystal Stone were to be destroyed, that would mean Sky Termination City was completely done for, and the defense mission would be a total failure.

So, after the Life Tower was destroyed, the most important task was to guard the Crystal Tower.

However.

Ling was already completely depleted, and no matter how he maneuvered, against overwhelming numbers, it was utterly useless.

In just half an hour, the enemy surge had reached the Crystal Tower.

Upon seeing this, Ling immediately withdrew the three hundred soldiers, planning to let the Purple Crystal Stone defend itself.

According to his estimates.

The strength of the Purple Crystal Stone should hold for about fifteen minutes.

He couldn’t use those three hundred soldiers for defense.

Otherwise, he would completely lose all combat power.

At that moment.

Suddenly a "whoosh" was heard.

An Ice Arrow sliced through the air, directly hitting the half-beast at the front just as it was about to swing the wolf tooth hammer at the Purple Crystal Stone.

The half-beast froze instantly, shattering into ice powder.

And the skull monsters, beasts within a ten-meter radius also instantly froze, their movements incredibly slow.

"Oh??"

Ling was stunned for a moment and looked up.

It was Qin Feng, leading a Golden General, along with a large group of archers heading this way.

This group of archers—a total of five hundred!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Each Ice Arrow shot out like a meteor shower, piercing through the enemy surge.

Soon.

A layer of ice formed around the Purple Crystal Stone, making it difficult for them to get close to it.

"It’s you?!"

Ling saw that Qin Feng was coming to help him, furrowed his brow tightly, and felt a stabbing annoyance.

Letting an enemy help is too embarrassing!

In Sky Termination City, around the Purple Crystal Stone are four directional camps, places that anyone could reach and join to defend.

The Purple Crystal Stone also divides into four parts.

If one side is destroyed, then that direction’s attack will be completely finished, and the Life Tower will not be revived; the other three gates can only defend their own Crystal Stone.

At this moment.

With the help of Qin Feng’s archer battalion, the time for the enemy’s attack surge finally arrived.

The surge retreated.

Qin Feng’s archers also ceased their efforts and stood neatly behind him, along with the Golden General in charge of commanding these five hundred archers.

Looking awfully majestic.

"Hmph! I didn’t need your help, I could hold it on my own!"

Ling shouted angrily.

According to his calculations, the Purple Crystal Stone could hold until the enemy surge retreated, but now he was being helped by a nemesis, making him really annoyed.

"No, no, I’m not helping you; I’m helping myself."

Qin Feng shrugged.

"What’s that supposed to mean? Don’t think I’ll be grateful!"

Ling yelled.

"I just don’t want to lose one of the Purple Crystal Stones." Qin Feng shrugged and said, "According to my guess, these Purple Crystal Stones are forged into one. If one of them is destroyed, then I imagine the entire Sky Termination City will be affected, and it might even impact my final rating."

After all, Sky Termination City’s mission is to protect the Purple Crystal Stone.

To achieve the perfect rating, losing one Purple Crystal Stone is impossible.

"I told you, I can defend it myself!!"

Ling shouted again.

"I wouldn’t want to bet that you can defend it; I’m just looking out for my own interests." Qin Feng laughed a little, then pointed at the Golden General behind him and the five hundred archers, saying, "How about it? My troops are not bad, right!"

"..."

Ling felt even more annoyed in his heart.

Turns out he was trying to show off his army.

"I just need you to join my camp, lend your Talent Power to my archers, and then my archers will be invincible." Qin Feng said.

"In your dreams!!"

Ling angrily shouted and then turned to leave.

"Haha..."

Qin Feng wasn’t worried and said, "You’ll agree eventually, but by then, your negotiation chips will be fewer, and the benefits given to you will be less. Think about it."

"..."

Without turning back, Ling walked away, murmuring to himself.

Hmph!

It’s just about throwing money around!

Guarding the gate isn’t just a matter of money; without a certain level of strength, it’s a bottomless pit where no amount of money is enough.

So.

Expecting to succeed with just a few billion Spirit Stones?

You’re dreaming!

Once he runs out of money, he’ll just be waiting to cry!

Thinking this way, Ling felt much better.

His idea was that the Wanshi Four now is only greedy for Qin Feng’s money, and once Qin Feng spends all his cash, they will surely come back to join him, and he can send them to Ti Yun Peak to recoup the money, and he can continue moving forward.

So, for now, he just needs to wait it out, to wait till Qin Feng spends all his money!

"But that guy’s archers’ Ice Arrows are indeed powerful; how exactly did he get them..." Ling muttered enviously, then waved his hand, saying, "Regardless, such great items must have been bought for a high price! The way he’s spending, he can at most endure a ’Level 1 Surge’; when the ’Second-level Frenzy’ comes, he’ll be out of money! Hang in there!!"

"Grr—!"

Ling’s stomach grumbled slightly out of hunger.

After the surge ended, the sun quickly set, and it was another tough night.

No way around it.

Finding food here is extremely difficult.

He must hunt for himself outside, but once he leaves Sky Termination City, the beasts outside will attack; it’s troubling and might even get him killed outside.

In the past, he always let the Wanshi Four find Ghost Lady to buy some food.

Ghost Lady somehow had a hunting tool and could easily find food.

Unfortunately, now that the Wanshi Four betrayed him, his Spirit Stones were spent, so there’s no food now.

"First go see the Wanshi Four..."

Ling rubbed his rumbling stomach and headed towards the North Gate Camp.

North Gate Camp.

After a busy day, the Wanshi Four—Yin Shou, Fu Mo, Black Dragon—were sitting around a table, happily eating meat and drinking from big bowls, their mood extremely pleasant.

Ling saw this scene, feeling like it was a dream, rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

In the past, he used to make the Wanshi Four buy food from Ghost Lady, and it was him eating the meat while they drank broth, because food was too expensive.

Now.

Their table of gourmet food was equivalent to almost half a month’s meals!

And there was wine!!!

At this moment.

The Wanshi Four also noticed Ling’s arrival and looked towards him...
