Chapter 61 Is The Friend You’re Talking About Yourself?
Ye Yuqiu took a deep breath and said solemnly, “This is not a joke!”
Lin Xuan also said solemnly, “Why would I joke about this? It’s six peerless golden runes! However, I want to reserve a peerless golden rune in advance.”
Ye Yuqiu looked at him speechlessly.
Silver Fox had long mentioned Shield Ghost’s character. She knew that if she could not order him around, she could use money to pave the way.
However, she had still underestimated the allure of money and treasures to Lin Xuan.
The chances of golden peerless runes appearing on the forging table in the consciousness space were ridiculously low. It was no different from those games with extremely low drop rates. Moreover, unlike those games, one would not be guaranteed to get anything
Now that he had a chance to directly choose six peerless golden runes, how could Lin Xuan miss this opportunity?
“Then tell me, how are you going to guard two walls?” Ye Yuqiu questioned.
Lin Xuan waved his hand. “I have a friend who’s also a Sixth Realm martial artist. In a while, I’ll get him to help guard the city
wall.”
Ye Yuqiu was puzzled. “Is that friend you’re talking about yourself?”
Lin Xuan could not help but laugh. “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely fulfill my promise. Leave the two walls to me.”
“Also, don’t we have to guard the northern city wall?” He pointed behind him.
Ye Yuqiu shook her head. “There’s no need to guard.”
“What runes do you want to get in advance?”
Lin Xuan immediately said, “I need ‘let the flames purify everything’. I’m still short of a third to gather a set of runes. After all, the Construction Division runs a big business. You should have it, right?”
Ye Yuqiu closed her eyes and recalled. “The rune warehouse. It’s on the sixth shelf in the third row. I’ll get it for you.”
Lin Xuan nodded. “Then I’ll go get that friend.”
Soon, Ye Yuqiu returned with the rune. What made her dumbfounded was that there were actually two people standing here.
One figure was covered in thick armor that seemed to be in a metal bucket.
The other figure was enveloped in a black cloak and could not be seen clearly.
Ye Yuqiu was stunned.
Which of them was the Shield Ghost? Which of them was the friend?
She tried to use Observer, but she could not see any information.
“Unfortunately, my Observer skill hasn’t improved much. I’m only at the Fourth Realm now, and the grade is only rare blue. Otherwise, I should be able to see this person’s information.” Ye Yuqiu was helpless.
“I’m Shield Ghost. I’ve changed my equipment to avoid being recognized by the Germinal Organization.” Lin Xuan was currently wearing the Giant Shield Set and the Stronghold Set. Because the Stronghold Set was worn outside, it naturally looked like an iron bucket.
“I’ll go east, you go west.” After receiving the rune Ye Yuqiu handed over, he patted the shoulder of his “friend” and the two of them walked with their backs facing each other.
This friend of his was naturally himself. To be precise, it was his avatar.
“It’s good to have an avatar. Unfortunately, I can only have one avatar with this avatar skill. I wonder if there are any high-level avatar skills?”
Lin Xuan stood on the east wall and embedded an entire “Let the Flames Purify Everything” rune into his Blazing Fire Codex.
The three effects of the ‘Let the Flames Purify Everything’ rune group were +70% magic power recovery speed, +30% fire magic damage, and a fire magic skill that carried splash damage within a 50-meter radius.
With this rune group and the Scarlet Wave Rush rune group he had previously obtained, the strength of his fire spells had increased greatly compared to when he fought Manager Number Three previously!
At the same time, Zhang Peng, Yang Wei, and Mo Yuan brought nearly a hundred martial artists of various levels to the western city wall.
Lu Luo, Wen Xiong, and the others led another group of people to the east wall. Mo Yuan noticed that Yang Wei was a little nervous and casually reminded, “Don’t be nervous, and don’t worry. Sir Number One is very resourceful. Moreover, no matter what, we have a lot of people. The advantage is on our side!”
Yang Wei heard this and instinctively trembled.
He suddenly recalled that not long ago, when he wanted to curry favor with Number Three and deal with Shield Ghost, he had once sent out three wasteland reclaimers. The three of them had fought one-on-one and seemed to have also boldly said that the advantage was on their side.
In the end, the three of them were beaten up by Shield Ghost and could not retaliate at all.
“Eh, look, there’s actually only one person standing on the western city wall! I’m dying of laughter. Does he want to defend against the attack of so many of us alone?”
Zhang Peng suddenly noticed the figure enveloped in a cloak on the western city wall.
Mo Yuan also looked up. With just a glance, his legs weakened and he almost fell to the ground.
Zhang Peng and Yang Wei supported him from both sides and asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”
Mo Yuan pointed at the cloaked figure on the city wall and stammered, “Flame… Flame Explosion!”
Zhang Peng and Yang Wei’s bodies trembled, “Damn, really?”
They had already completely experienced the terror of Flame Explosion.
Facing Flame Explosion, the captain of the Demon King Team, Luo Rixu, was unable to counterattack at all and was instantly killed!
Moreover, they also heard some news from Mo Yuan.
That night, when flames rose in the wilderness, it was Flame Explosion who had fought Manager Number Three.
However, in the end, Flame Explosion was never captured.
What did this mean? It meant that Flame Explosion had successfully escaped after fighting Manager Number Three!
They did not need to be told how powerful Flame Explosion was.
Manager Number Three was the best example.
Lin Xuan’s avatar also saw the people below the city wall. He swept his gaze over and saw that they were all familiar.
The hand under his cloak directly took out the Blazing Fire Codex and he immediately began to chant Flame Explosion.
Seeing this action, Mo Yuan’s instinctive reaction was to retreat.
If even the Sixth Realm martial artist leader retreated, there was even less of a need to mention those weaker martial artists.
Before Lin Xuan’s avatar could start chanting, a large number of the martial artists sent by the Germinal Organization to attack the western city wall retreated.
Those who did not know would think that they were currently facing a Seventh Realm martial artist on the western city wall.
Zhang Peng, Yang Wei, and Mo Yuan looked at each other and saw the embarrassment in their eyes.
Mo Yuan said, “Hahaha… I was so anxious just now that I couldn’t help but take a step back.”
Zhang Peng said, “Understood, understood. My feet were a little itchy just now and I wanted to adjust the buckle on my feet.”
With that said, the two of them stared at Yang Wei, “What about you?”
Yang Wei was so anxious that he scratched his head and could not think of any good excuse for a while.
Zhang Peng and Mo Yuan said in unison, “Looks like you’re afraid!”
Yang Wei :”…”
“Are these the Germinal Organization’s martial artists? They’re too timid.” A hoarse voice sounded from the cloak.
The three of them were immediately furious.
With so many of them being forced back by a single person, it would be too embarrassing if word of this got out.
“Attack, charge up!”
Yang Wei roared and retreated half a step, commanding the Third Realm, Fourth Realm, and Fifth Realm martial artists behind him to rush up.
The martial artists behind him curled their lips, but they did not dare to disobey Yang Wei’s orders. Otherwise, Yang Wei and the other two would probably find another way to get them to charge.
All kinds of skills were immediately thrown towards the city wall.
As long as it was not a Sixth Realm martial artist’s skill, Lin Xuanchun would be able to block it even without the equipment with high resistance.
However, it was as if all those skills landing on him were water splashing on his body, not leaving any traces.
“It’s my turn.”
A huge fireball more than six meters in diameter quickly formed in Lin Xuan’s palm.
The martial artists under the city wall immediately swallowed when they saw the huge, hot fireball.
Damn.
Did Manager Number Three also face this fireball that day? Wasn’t this too terrifying?
“Retreat, retreat, retreat! All of you, disperse!” Zhang Peng shouted and immediately activated his skill to increase his speed, hurriedly pouncing to the side.
Yang Wei and Mo Yuan also rolled to the side like lazy donkeys.
Only those martial artists who did not react in time stared at the huge fireball that was quickly approaching with shocked expressions.
Boom!
Flames soared into the sky.
The martial artists in the center of the fireball instantly evaporated without even leaving behind a trace.
