Chapter 237: Perseverance and Support

The barn in the distance was still burning, and the flames reflected the night sky red.

A semicircular transparent protective shield protected the students. This was a temporary defensive formation they put together. Although it was not perfect, it was enough to resist general attacks.

The protective shield was composed of twelve array base rune plates, each of which was engraved with ancient runes, connected to each other through soul power to form a stable structure

Inside the protective shield, the students were nervously watching the movement outside.

They all held some spare rune plates in their hands, ready to replace the damaged parts at any time. The young faces were full of nervous expressions

And outside were some attackers dressed in black, who were obviously the culprits of the fire.

There were more than 20 of them, and each of them exuded a powerful soul power fluctuation.

The leader was a tall man holding a long knife, and he launched the strongest attack on the defensive formation.

The soul power gathered in his hand, reflecting the red blade. "Blood Moon Arc Blade!" He shouted, swinging out a curved red blade.

An attack was swung out from the tip of the blade with terrible power and hit the defensive formation fiercely, but it only caused a ripple in the formation. The ripples spread on the protective shield, causing the formation to flicker a few times, but it did not break.

"It is worthy of being the Small Samsara Palace. Even the most ordinary makeshift defensive formation has such defensive power."

The bandit leader sneered. He looked at the students in the formation and heard his words, and hope flashed in his eyes.

A sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he said the cruel next sentence

"Then it means that your value is even higher. Everyone come together, this formation will not last long!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and rushed to the protective shield, and the other bandits followed and launched a more fierce attack.

The formation was instantly attacked by a violent storm, and ripples caused by the attack continued to bloom on the formation, causing the rune light on the formation base to flicker continuously.

The students were busy, constantly replacing the rune plates, trying to maintain the stability of the formation.

Soon, a few cracks appeared on a formation base rune plate in the flickering, and then the light on it went out with a snap, and at that moment, a crack appeared on the formation shield.

Immediately, a student took the replacement rune plate and replaced the damaged rune plate. His fingers were cut and bleeding, but he had no time to care.

The key to maintaining the defensive formation is to replace the formation base rune plate that was burned due to the surge of external soul power in a timely manner.

"Don't panic, everyone. We all know how this formation performs during the experiment. Now everyone should calm down and maintain the normal operation of the rune. We will definitely wait for support."

The leader of the students cheered for everyone loudly. He knew very well that if only one person panicked and interfered with the operation of the formation, everyone would be doomed.

The formation can block attacks, but it cannot block the loud noises produced by the attacks hitting the formation.

Every attack launched by the bandits is like a giant hammer hitting the semicircular formation shield. Every time the formation is hit, the loud noise will resonate and vibrate with the hearts of the students through the chest.

Under the loud noises produced by the continuous attacks and the gradually weakening ripples, not all students of the Small Samsara Academy have the big heart to face such an extreme environment.

Some people have begun to tremble and even tears have come out of the corners of their eyes. Some people have begun to want to escape and give up. They are all excellent students, but they are just ordinary people. They also have fear and weakness.

Mistakes will always occur under this huge pressure. Even if one mistake occurs, the maintenance of this formation will come to an end.

"We can't go on like this. If we continue to be attacked, the only outcome we will face is death. It's better to fight now and rush out as many as we can."

A classmate with a strong personality could no longer endure the torture of the endless attack and said such self-destructive words in anger.

"Believe in our classmates and seniors, he will definitely come to support us."

"Don't underestimate these bandits. Look at their current attack and the speed of the previous sneak attack. How many do you think we can rush out if we break out in a scattered manner?"

The team leader calmly advised that such speeches that disturb everyone's thoughts must be eliminated in time even if they are well-intentioned, otherwise people will be distracted and the consequences will be disastrous.

If they really rush out, they will lose the protection of the formation and become the prey of the bandits. They have no chance of winning at all and will only die in vain.

The team here was struggling to hold on, and Ning Rongrong also accelerated her pace after hearing the sound of the battle.

"Hurry up, hurry up, run. When we usually do outdoor surveys, we are all full of energy. Why can't we run for such a short distance now?"

Ning Rongrong anxiously urged the team to move forward.

"Senior Rongrong, we have tried our best." A student replied with a heavy breath.

"Yes, we went into the outdoor survey lightly, but now we can't put the rune plates we carry into the space soul guide. Even if we are soul masters, we can't bear to carry such a heavy load." Another student also echoed.

After all, the Small Samsara Academy is just a scholar union, and it does not have the same strict organization as the army. Even the usually majestic Ning Rongrong cannot convince everyone in this situation.

Ning Rongrong looked anxious, but she could only follow the speed of the large group. She could not leave anyone behind, and her responsibility was to protect every student.

She had also thought about letting students above the Soul Master level form an assault team to support the team under attack in front.

However, the cold and piercing murderous intent in the fire scene before made Ning Rongrong have to be vigilant. It seemed that the purpose of this group of people was to set fire to the food, but combined with the previous things that happened and the destruction of the workshop of the Small Samsara Academy.

It is hard not to doubt that the ultimate goal of this group of people is actually the Small Samsara Academy.

If the highest combat power is extracted for support, then these covetous attackers will inevitably rush up and swallow this delicious "cake" that has lost its shelter.

The situation was so critical, and Ning Rongrong's marching speed might not be able to catch up, so where was the solution? The answer was Zhu Zhuqing, who had gone to the Spirit Hall to communicate early.

This battle near the burning granary had long been displayed on the big screen of the person in charge, Cha Zhenting, under the monitoring of the 01 system.

The new organizational structure of the Spirit Hall, which Mu Zhe spent a lot of effort to build, ensured the excellent execution of this force.

At this time, a quarter of an hour had passed since the person in charge pressed the first-level alarm button, and the deacons guarding the satellite cities around Xingluo City were rushing over.

With the blessing of the Soul Saint, a quarter of an hour was enough for them to cross the distance of only 60 miles.

At this time, the fastest team had arrived near the granary under the command and dispatch of the person in charge, Cha Zhenting.
