Chapter 168: Human Tide.

Xiao Fen watched everything before him and gained a new understanding of these two siblings.

Clearly, no matter how they behaved externally, deep down, they both longed to crush their opponents regardless of the consequences. The brother made himself incredibly hard, while the sister unleashed maximum firepower in the shortest time.

There was another huge crashing sound, the sound of the entire courtyard gate being suddenly forced open.

In front of this gate was a thick blue brick screen wall about 60 centimeters thick. Behind this gate, the Eastern Depot and the Imperial Guard had once piled up a large amount of bricks and rolling logs to prevent the creatures in the courtyard from rushing open the gate and entering the residential area.

But now, these things seemed meaningless to Lycaon. With just one impact, just one sound, including the screen wall, the entire gate and all the obstacles used to block outside collapsed. In addition, Xiao Fen could also hear the sound of the courtyard walls collapsing.

Such strength indeed meant there was no need to add points to Strength before Level 4. It was truly a huge advantage. Xiao Fen thought thus and turned his head to glance at Callisto.

The female Trialist, whose face had been soaked by tears, making the blood stains on her face look patchy, appeared to be in very poor spirits.

Even though the light was dim, Xiao Fen could still see that maintaining that Magic Array, which was constantly firing Energy Impact beams, was a very difficult and painful process for Callisto.

During this process, blood was constantly seeping from Callisto’s nostrils and corners of her mouth. This was the result of excessive mental consumption, to the point of starting to overdraft.

“Give me 48 hours of absolute rest time. During this time, I cannot participate in battle and can only sleep. And you must guarantee that my sleep will absolutely not be disturbed.”

Sensing Xiao Fen’s gaze, Callisto suddenly said: “If you still want me to continue repaying your Gene Points, then do as I say. Sufficient rest will allow me to recover fully, and only when I am going all out can I earn back those Gene Points for you.”

Xiao Fen smiled bitterly and whispered: “Sounds like you are even more calculating than I am.”

“Our race has always been like this. We repay kindness and revenge enemies. I will return the Gene Points I owe you, but I have also remembered those two hands of yours.”

Xiao Fen smiled and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a huge commotion from the gate. Although he knew early on that there were many people from the Eastern Depot outside, he had not expected that the Imperial Guard seemed to have come too, and this time, many people had come.

The voices outside suddenly quieted down when Xiao Fen noticed them. Perhaps Lycaon was explaining something to the other side, perhaps the other side was making a judgment, or perhaps something else. Xiao Fen suddenly felt a bit anxious. Could Lycaon persuade the other side? Lycaon looked completely like a foreigner; could he clearly explain what happened inside?

Various questions came one after another. For a moment, Xiao Fen felt an unprecedented panic. He thought for a moment and asked: “Where is the one called Pal? Why haven’t I seen it?”

“After becoming a Hell Watchdog, one will be forcibly transferred out of the Trial World by Yggdrasil and directly thrown into the Tribunal. Unless you pass by those Tribunals in the future, you will never see it again.”

Xiao Fen keenly heard the word “it” from Callisto’s vocabulary. This meant that Callisto no longer regarded Pal as some past lover or captain, but viewed the other party as a normal watchdog.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fen suddenly felt some doubt about his own Greek Fire Skill.

Look at how Pal obtained a powerful Skill, but this complete Skill seemed to be punished by the World Tree. Xiao Fen was not clear whether the Skill he obtained would also suffer the same fate?

Just then, he heard a new sound coming from outside the wall. Vaguely, he seemed to hear calls of “Nine Thousand Years”. Only then did Xiao Fen’s heart calm down a little. The random thoughts from earlier were all thrown to the back of his mind.

Mobilizing a large number of people to storm this residence was not a decision just anyone could make. Even if someone made the decision, it was still uncertain whether others would approve.

Therefore, although Lycaon had already rushed out just now, it was still hard to say whether anyone could rush into the courtyard, or how many people would rush in.

And now, since Wei Zhongxian had arrived, then as long as Wei Zhongxian made the decision, there would basically be no major problem. As for whether Wei Zhongxian would make the decision, it could only depend on whether that plaque had an effect.

The voices outside fell silent again. Callisto’s body swayed slightly as she said: “I can’t hold on anymore. The rest of the matter is up to you.”

As soon as the words fell, the huge Magic Array in front of Callisto suddenly flashed brightly. The intense light made it impossible to look directly at. As the light gradually faded, the Magic Array that had been constantly creating terrible Energy shockwaves disappeared. By the gate, there was only Callisto, unconscious on the ground.

Xiao Fen frowned. Now, he was the only one facing the creatures hiding in the darkness outside the gate. He was not afraid of these creatures entering the room, but they would launch ranged attacks at him from outside the gate. This was his weakness.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Fen gritted his teeth suddenly and whispered: “I’ll go all out.”

After saying that, he closed his eyes. The Web above his head suddenly began to spread infinitely outward, penetrating the beams and walls, continuously spreading toward the entire courtyard. The “hissing” sounds made by a large number of ropes shooting and killing Filth Creatures gathered into a noise like the howling of ghosts and gods. Every time such a sound was made, at least a dozen Filth Creatures were shot and killed.

However, this situation could not last long. Xiao Fen used time to buy area just to strive for the last bit of time. Whether it was one minute or tens of seconds, as long as he could buy time for Wei Zhongxian to make a decision, it was enough.

The Web quickly occupied all the Space Xiao Fen could see. Even the screen wall was covered by these killing machines. Xiao Fen glanced at his Light Screen. There were 44 seconds left. Controlling such a large area, the Web only had 44 seconds of maintenance time remaining.

“Hurry, hurry!”

Xiao Fen kept repeating in his heart, hoping that Wei Zhongxian would make a decision soon.

Outside the courtyard wall, it was still silent. It seemed as if there was no one outside.

There were 30 seconds left, and Wei Zhongxian’s decision had not yet been sent. Every second that passed now made Xiao Fen tremble with fear and felt exceptionally fast.

There were 10 seconds left. Xiao Fen let out a long breath, bent down, and prepared to make a final struggle.

Just at that moment, a large number of shouting and killing sounds suddenly came from the gate. In the next second, many Torches were thrown in from outside the door, followed by flaming arrows. These flames did not fear the blood on the ground at all. Even if they fell into the pool of blood, they still burned fiercely. Before long, the entire courtyard was a sea of fire.

Xiao Fen felt relieved in his heart. His body suddenly moved. He rushed to the unconscious Callisto in one stride. With his left arm, he hugged the female Trialist in his arms, and then immediately rolled several times, drilling under the red wooden table.

Just at that moment, a loud “bang” was heard. It turned out that during the spreading process of the Web just now, the entire roof of this hall had been sliced off. However, it had been held up by the Web all along, so it did not fall. As Xiao Fen moved, the Web disappeared, and the entire roof fell out of thin air, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Xiao Fen looked out through the falling dust. The flames outside were already burning very vigorously. At the same time, a large group of soldiers wearing heavy armor were pouring in from the door. Behind those soldiers were people wearing blue cloth clothes and holding waist knives.

These people clearly had a plan beforehand. Each group was responsible for a pile, and they quickly cleared a larger area. Then more people continued to pour in. In a short while, they occupied the entire courtyard between the main hall and the screen wall.

Xiao Fen smiled and looked up. The moonlight in the sky was like water, quietly flowing down.

When Xiao Fen woke up again, it was already morning. An Agent from the Eastern Depot knocked on the door, not too lightly but not too heavily. This sound woke him from his dream and also brought him back to Reality.

The Reality within the Trial World.

After seeing the antique-style room facilities, Xiao Fen let out a long breath. He was still in the Trial World, but last night’s battle seemed to have passed as long as ten thousand years.

“Little Immortal, have you rested well?”

Last night, a large number of Agents and Imperial Guards rushed into this residence. After a life-and-death battle with those Monsters, this place was temporarily suppressed. Xiao Fen’s life was saved, but his sense of mystery and power also weakened quite a bit in the eyes of those Agents.

After those Agents fought with the Monsters and experienced the power of the Monsters, they would also generate a psychology of comparison. Through comparison, they realized the real strength gap between Xiao Fen and them.

This strength gap might not be bridgeable, but at least it was no longer mysterious.

After all, Xiao Fen was still just a person, not a real god.

Because of this, the respect of the Eastern Depot Agents for Xiao Fen had reduced quite a bit. Their attitude was not as respectful as before. This point could be reflected just by the Agent’s way of knocking on the door now.

Xiao Fen sat up, rubbed his face, and responded in a low voice: “Okay, I’m fine.”

“Director has an important matter to discuss. If it is convenient for the Immortal, please come now.”

Xiao Fen nodded, stood up, tidied himself up, and pulled open the door. Seeing that there was more than one Agent standing outside, he smiled slightly and asked: “What, are you afraid I won’t go? Do you want to help me go?”

“The Director’s business is important. We always have to act according to the urgency of the matter. I suppose the Little Immortal doesn’t mind.”

Xiao Fen nodded and did not argue too much with this Agent. He walked out of the room and asked: “Where is the Nine Thousand Years?”

The Agent did not expect Xiao Fen to be so straightforward. He was stunned for a moment. All the various speeches prepared before were now useless. He turned his head and smiled, saying: “The Director is in the garden behind. He has prepared some wine and food. Please move your steps, Little Immortal.”

Xiao Fen asked again: “How are my two friends?”

“The female Immortal is still sleeping, and the strong Immortal is taking care of her on the side. It was also said that in the afternoon, he will naturally come to visit the Little Immortal.”
