Chapter 193: One More Hope

Just then, the ground shook violently!

Plop, plop —

All light was blocked out and the sky turned dark as night!

“What’s going on?”

“What happened? What is this?”

There were surprised cries everywhere.

Feng Wu looked up at the sky. The protective formation overhead was buzzing under the attack of numerous Blood Bats, which were hurtling themselves continuously at the protective shield...

Feng Wu frowned a little. Those black, squishy Blood Bats were pretty much her beautiful mother’s least favorite creatures. If she saw them, she would have nightmares for days.

At that thought, Feng Wu was going to say something when —

General Wu cried out, “Oh, no! They’ve almost breached the protective formation! If the shield breaks, thousands of flying magical beasts will get in and all of Wanping Town will be pulverized!”

Feng Wu threw a dirty look at General Wu. “Guard the formation, then.”

General Wu looked very grim. He would have shouted back if any other person talked to him that way. But Miss Feng here was an amazing medicine refiner, the most amazing one he had ever met. He would never dare to lose his temper with her.

He had no choice but to give her a wry smile. “The formation has already been severely damaged. Baili, our formation master, informed me that we can hold on for another three minutes at most —”

“Three minutes?!” Before General Wu could say another word, Yan Yan cried out!

She was here to ask General Wu about the situation. Given the circumstances, everyone was worried about their own lives.

Seeing that it was the daughter of the Yan family, General Wu cursed inwardly, but he still managed to reply politely. “Miss Yan —”

Yan Yan waved him off. “General Wu, just tell me, what did you mean by three minutes?”

She acted as if General Wu had to take orders from her, and her manner was very condescending.

General Wu frowned, but still told her the truth. “The formation will break in three minutes. We’ll lose the protective shield and all the flying magical beasts will get in. The beasts outside will take this opportunity to breach the gate and we’ll...”

“Are you telling me that we’ll die?!” Yan Yan glared at General Wu. “Do you mean that after getting myself out of Death Valley, I’m still going to die?!”

General Wu corrected her in a solemn voice. “WE are all going to die.”

“What are we gonna do?!” Yan Yan glowered.

General Wu had narrowly escaped death more than once and he remained as composed as ever. “The only hope we have is that Young Master Ning can come back with reinforcements before the formation breaks, or...”

Or, everyone would die.

“Are you kidding me?!” Yan Yan yelled. “My cousin left less than an hour ago and he’s probably not in Anping City yet. How can he arrive with reinforcements in less than three minutes?!”

“There is one more hope, but it’s even slimmer than the first.”

“Which is?”

“A capable formation master will step out from among us, just like our mysterious genius medicine refiner Miss Feng here, and that person will repair the formation and keep it going until reinforcements arrive —”

“General Wu, do you even believe it yourself? Medicine refiners might be rare on this continent, but at least we’ve all met them. But a formation master? There are less than one tenth of them compared with medicine refiners! Where on earth are we going to find a mysterious formation master now, not to mention that we need a rather advanced one?!”
