Chapter 23: Jumping Into the Center of the Demon Creatures

“Damn, could he have run away ahead of time?”

“We can’t guard this east wall anymore. Let’s retreat too.”

The wasteland reclaimers and refugees were anxious and did not dare to continue.

If they continued to fight, they would definitely become food for the demon beasts.

If they ran now and returned to the vicinity of the Germinal base, they might even be able to survive.

Everyone could tell the difference between dying on the spot and dying later.

At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared.

“Shield Ghost is here!” one of them shouted.

Lin Xuan, who was covered in armor, felt a strange feeling rise in his heart.

“I feel that it’s strange for me to use myself as a backup.”

He had just run into the shack and found a deserted place and used his skill Avatar Technique to create an avatar.

Now, the one wearing the equipment was his main body, and the one shouting was his avatar.

Everyone instinctively turned around and indeed saw a familiar figure.

Demon mask, black shield, and full-body armor.

This immediately made people feel extremely safe. Wasn’t this the rising star, Shield Ghost!?

Sun Zhiguo’s eyes widened. “Damn, Lin Xuan, you actually know Shield Ghost! You didn’t even tell me!”

“That’s right, that’s right. I didn’t expect you to be hiding something! Tell me, how did you get involved with Shield Ghost?”

The wasteland reclaimer beside him immediately leaned over and said excitedly, “Hey, hey, hey, can you get an autograph from Shield Ghost for me? I always worship him!”

Lin Xuan strode up the city wall and punched the big toad’s tongue away. He berated, “Is this really the time to talk about this?!”

The other party’s face was filled with shame. “Sorry, sorry. I was just too excited.”

Lin Xuan shouted, “Protect me!”

With that said, Shield Ghost jumped down from the eight-meter high city wall and into the demon beast crowd!

“Hiss…” Sun Zhiguo widened his eyes and gasped.

“Brother Shield Ghost, don’t commit suicide!”

“Damn, how is he going to survive?”

The wasteland reclaimers were also shocked.

In order to resist the demon beasts, Shield Ghost had actually jumped in directly. How noble was this?

“Ai… Shield Ghost seems to be very good…” One of the wasteland reclaimers suddenly realized that Shield Ghost was not instantly torn to pieces like they had expected.

In contrast, Shield Ghost was now standing calmly on the spot.

The two huge shields were like solid city walls, firm and unmoving.

Not only that, but as soon as the Zero Realm demon beasts pounced over and collided with the huge shield, their bodies exploded as if they had collided with a sharp wall.

A First Realm demon could at most collide with it three or four times before its entire body exploded.

In just a few breaths, more than twenty demon beasts had collapsed beside Shield Ghost!

Lin Xuan was also a little worried at the beginning and wondered if they could break through his defense. After all, there were so many of them.

However, he quickly realized that his worry was unnecessary.

Although there were many demon beasts, their attributes were very low.

Moreover, the attributes of the demon beasts were relatively average. They couldn’t compare to him at all. After all, he had spent most of his free attribute points on Constitution.

In the end, many Zero Realm, First Realm, and Second Realm demon beasts could not break through his defense.

However, his own reflective damage and the Dragon Hunter Shield’s reflective damage could quickly kill the demon beasts.

Moreover, Lin Xuan had already obtained two out of three “Impregnable Gold” rune parts in the past.

During this period of time, the forging table in his consciousness space had been working all along. He finally obtained the third Impregnable Gold rune part.

…

Name: Impregnable Gold (1/2/3)

Level: Level Nine Second Realm

Quality: Peerless Golden

Set Requirements: Shield above Second Realm

Effect 1: Health Points+12%.

Effect 2: Any attack that lands on this equipment will have a critical hit chance of -80%.

Effect 3: Any attack that lands on this equipment will cause the user to recover 25 health points.

…

To add the rune enhancement, he would need to spend experience points. In order to strengthen his equipment, He would also need to consume equipment essence. After becoming a Second Realm martial artist, Lin Xuan quickly increased his skills, equipment, and runes to the Second Realm.

Now, the entire Impregnable Gold rune group was embedded into the Dragon Hunter Shield.

The effect of the Impregnable Gold rune group was the best when facing a large number of demon beasts.

The attacks of a large number of First Realm demon beasts were unable to injure Lin Xuan. Instead, they would make him recover his health.

Lin Xuan was incomparably happy. “Awesome!”

“I can directly fight those Third Realm demon beasts!”

He wielded the Earth Dragon King Hammer and casually smashed the demon beasts in front of him into meat paste before charging towards the huge toad.

He had already used the Observer skill to take a look just now. The big toad was only a Third Realm demon beast. Its attributes were 31 Constitution, 41 Strength, 33 Spirit, and 25 Agility.

Moreover, the other party’s attribute would also be suppressed by Lin Xuan’s skill, “Experienced Mystic Realm King Might”.

The other party’s attributes could not compare to his own attributes.

The big toad was shocked and furious when it saw a human martial artist actually dare to enter the demon beast group alone. Its saliva-covered tongue immediately stirred up a strong wind as it tore through the air and directly sent it into Lin Xuan’s mouth.

Lin Xuan sneered and actually did not stop at all as he directly walked over.

Clang!

The huge tongue collided with the Dragon Hunter Shield. Not only was the shield not tied up, but the frog’s tongue even cracked as blood crazily surged.

The big toad was about to retract it in pain when Lin Xuan grabbed the other party’s big tongue and used the other party’s retraction to quickly approach.

Then, he raised the Earth Dragon King Hammer and smashed it fiercely!

Bang!

The big toad’s skin and flesh were lacerated as blood spurted from its body!

It let out a tragic cry.

The surrounding Third Realm demon beasts quickly supported.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Xuan was surrounded by more than a dozen Third Realm demon beasts. More Third Realm demon beasts were rushing over.

Lin Xuan activated his skills and also used his Overlord Set equipment skills to summon five soldier ants.

These soldier ants’ attributes were 50% of his attributes. In other words, their Constitution was 42, Strength was 20, Spirit was 20, and Agility was 18.

This attribute was only slightly weaker than a Third Realm demon, but much stronger than a Second Realm demon.

Moreover, Lin Xuan could casually change the types of these soldier ants. Now, he had changed the five of them to Red Fire Soldier Ants.

The Red Fire Ant’s acidity was very effective against these demon beasts from the Drowning City mystic realm.

The many wasteland reclaimers and refugees on the city wall stood on high and saw an extremely spectacular scene.

Countless demon beasts attacked Shield Ghost like a tide, but Shield Ghost was like a standing reef. No matter how fierce and anxious the tide was, it remained firm!

“How awesome… Can a lone wolf really be this powerful?” Sun Zhiguo was shocked and amazed.

“I’ve decided. I’ll leave the Germinal Organization tomorrow and become a lone wolf!”

“Me too, me too! I don’t want to stay here anymore!”

Lin Xuan’s avatar heard all of their words and sent them back to his main body.

Lin Xuan, who was in the middle of the demon beast horde, could not help but laugh when he heard these words.

If these wasteland reclaimers became lone wolves, they would probably be dead in three to five days.
