Chapter 90

The golden-shelled insects were so dense that they covered half of the sky. What was even more terrifying was that these golden-shelled insects could spit out flames. Outside of the defensive glyph array, the fire had already soared to the sky. Anything that could be ignited was set ablaze. The golden-shelled insects would fall into the flames from time to time as if they were absorbing the energy.

The mission of the professionals from the fire school and the outsiders was to walk out of the defensive circle and try their best to kill the golden-shelled insects. They wanted to reduce the number of golden-shelled insects and prevent them from continuously attacking the defensive glyph array. With so many golden-shelled insects continuously attacking, the defensive glyph array set up by the fire school would not be able to withstand it. If the glyph array collapsed, everyone would be finished.

Han Yan said, "The task token you received this time has one function. It allows you to walk out of the defensive glyph array and come back at any time. We will form into small groups and take turns to fight. Once we feel tired, we can immediately retreat … Everyone, be careful, when you retreat, there may be golden-shelled insects with you, so there are a few groups of people specifically guarding the defensive glyph array. They are responsible for killing the golden-shelled insects that come in … Do you all understand your mission? "

"Understood!"

The mission was very simple, but it was not easy to complete. If they were not careful, they could die outside. Therefore, everyone was very nervous.

Han Yan said, "Remember, the fire school does not want you to risk your life, just kill the golden-shelled insects … Do not go too deep into the golden-shelled insect tide. Once you feel that you can't resist, immediately retreat to the defensive glyph array. I do not want any casualties. There are already many people who have died."

As long as it was not an endless fight, Guo Shier was confident that he could save his life. He was slightly relieved and asked, "Elder Han, the golden-shelled insect tide's main attack direction is not here, right?"

Han Yan nodded and said, "We are on the side. The main attack direction is in the north. There is still some distance from here."

If it was not the main attack direction, it meant that the golden-shelled insects here were not high level. The highest level was only level 8 or 9. Most of the golden-shelled insects were low level. Therefore, most of the people sent here were low level professionals. Saint Masters were considered experts here, and Great Saint Masters were decisive forces.

Falconer said, "Shier, when we get out, don't run too far. I will protect you."

Guo Shi 'er shook his head and said, "Uncle Hawk Demon, you don't have to protect me. This is a chance for us to train. It's rare for us to encounter such an opportunity to slaughter …"

Luo Zhan said, "Yes, this is a fight with a guarantee and a way out. I also want to practice it."

This was a crisis, but it was also an opportunity. Through this massacre, all the surviving disciples of the Fire Faction would be able to train, and many of them would advance quickly. Fighting had always been the fastest way to grow.

Although Guo Shier soon, the fire school's strength could be increased. The Fire School truly lived up to its reputation as the strongest sect on the Earthfire Continent. Although they'd lost countless cities and members in the golden-shelled swarm, the Fire School's overall strength would continue to grow if they could survive this crisis. As for the ordinary people, if they wanted, they could it.

Those professionals from mid-level continents were eager to join a sect from a high-rank continent. Moreover, the fire school was a large sect from a high-rank continent, so it could attract experts to join. Therefore, the temporary loss of people did not have much impact on the fire school.

A large sect like the fire school had existed for tens of thousands of years. Its wealth was not something Guo Shier could imagine. The golden-shelled insect tide could only hurt their skin and flesh, but not their bones. Although the golden-shelled insect tide was fierce, the fire school did not panic. They quickly organized to fight back.

The group that Guo Shier participated in had ten people. Xu Yan was a Saint Master and an outer disciple of the fire school, so he naturally became the temporary person in charge of the group. In this group, apart from Xu Yan who was a Sacred Master, there were four other Sacred Masters, including Guo Shier and Hawk Demon. The others were all Kuang Masters.

The other two Saint Masters were also professionals from other continents. One of them was also good at controlling soul beasts. He released an ice bear, a rank 7 mutated soul beast. He made the ice bear shrink to the size of a puppy and held it in one hand, ready to attack at any time.

Guo Shier was very curious. After traveling outside for so long, it was rare to see a professional who was good at controlling soul beasts or insects. He stepped forward and said, "What a cute ice bear."

The man glanced at the Ancient Flame Sparrow on Guo Shier's shoulder and showed a trace of surprise on his face. He bowed and said, "Thousand Ice Continent, Frigid School, Elementary Talisman Beast Saint Master, Lu Yiding."

Guo Shier finally saw a beast tamer. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Core Continent, Wandering Profession, Intermediate Talisman Saint Master, Guo Shier."

Lu Yiding was surprised. "You are not a beast tamer?"

Guo Shier smiled. "I am a talisman profession, not a beast tamer profession. However, I have a beast talisman."

Lu Yiding was puzzled. Beast tamers were a specialized profession. That Ancient Flame Sparrow clearly had spirituality, which was not something an ordinary professional could do. Because it was the first time they met, it was not convenient for him to ask. He smiled and said, "We are in a group. Let's take care of each other when we go out later."

Guo Shier nodded and said, "Let's take care of each other."

The other Saint Master was also a wandering profession like Guo Shier. He only said his name and did not speak anymore. He seemed very quiet. His name was Gu Yi, and he was a Elementary Talisman Saint Master. He was thin and short, and had an ordinary appearance.

Because of Han Yan's care, the strength of Guo Shier's group was relatively strong. There were a total of ten people, and five of them were Saint Masters. The other five were all Mad Masters, and the lowest was a Elementary Mad Master. There were many Master Level professionals in other groups, but their strength was relatively weaker.

Every three groups were responsible for a section of the area, which was about a hundred meters wide. Their mission was to kill the golden-shelled insects within a hundred meters. The other ten groups were all composed of experts. Their mission was to rescue. Once a group was in trouble, they would rush over to help and reduce the number of people lost as much as possible.

Han Yan originally planned to let Guo Shier join such a group, but Guo Shier wanted to participate in battles more. He wanted to train his fighting skills, learn, and accumulate all kinds of fighting experience. He had the authentic inheritance of the Ancient Talisman People. What he lacked was fighting experience.

This was a killing that a talisman master had to experience. Only through a harsh battle could a talisman master truly grow, and this was what Guo Shier lacked the most. He had lived three lives. In his first life, he was the kindest. In his second life, he struggled in the mortal world. Although it was not considered good, it was definitely not evil either. In this life, he was in this special talisman world. He did not know whether his actions were good or evil. However, killing golden-shelled insects was not a psychological burden to him.

This kind of fighting experience was very rare. Especially with the protection of the talisman array behind him, it made him feel a lot more relaxed.

Every group went out to kill for ten minutes. Then they would change groups, rest for twenty minutes, and then enter the battle again.

Guo Shier concentrated and said, "Uncle Falconer, protect Uncle Luo carefully. He has not received Kuang Shi's inheritance." Without Kuang Shi's inheritance, Luo Zhan's strength was only slightly better than a high level talisman master. He could not even compare to a beginner level Kuang Shi. It was still a bit dangerous for him to enter the battlefield.

Falconer said, "Don't worry, Shier, I will protect you." He seemed very confident. As long as he used the new big golden talisman shield, those golden-shelled insects would not be able to break his defense.

Guo Shier nodded and said, "Yes, you have a pair of turtle shells with strong defense!"

Falconer did not understand and said, "Turtle shell? I have a big golden shell … "

Guo Shier chuckled. Sometimes, he would casually mention some concepts from his previous life, but the people here often could not understand them. He said, "It will be our turn soon … Let's see how the first group is going to fight."

The first group had two female professionals. They were not young, but they looked very young. They were both Saint Masters. There were not many Saint Masters in this group. There were only three people, but the leader was a high level Saint Master. His strength was not much weaker than Guo Shier's group. The strength of a high level Saint Master was not to be underestimated.

If they really fought, Guo Shier with his own strength, even if he and Falconer worked together, they would not be able to beat a high level Saint Master. But if there were spirit beasts like the Giant Inching Dragon, the high level Saint Master would not be able to beat a high level Saint Master. This was Guo Shier's advantage.

The first group rushed out of the defensive light screen and was immediately drowned by the tide of golden-shelled insects. Guo Shier and the others felt their scalps tingling. He knew that these people would be fine. They all had their defensive talisman armors activated. Those low level golden-shelled insects would not be able to break their defense for a while. But being surrounded by so many golden-shelled insects was still very scary.

The group of ten had to clear the golden-shelled insects within a hundred meters. As the battle went on, it only took about four minutes for the group of ten to retreat. Almost all of them were injured. The high level Saint Master's face was pale. He gasped and said, "Too many, too many … We can't stop them at all. If we fight for too long, even the defensive talisman armor will not be able to hold on!"

Several master level professionals in the group were more seriously injured. One of them had a broken leg, and another was seriously burned. Two of them were quickly carried away by a few ordinary people and sent to the tent area for treatment.

Even so, the second group still had to rush out. No matter how many minutes they could fight, they had to kill as many golden-shelled insects as possible to reduce the pressure on the defensive light screen.

Guo Shier did not hesitate. He followed Falconer and rushed out of the defensive light screen. He activated the Golden Armor Amulet and the Green Lotus Amulet. At the same time, he also used the Life Rune Sword to protect himself. These were all his defensive methods. He thought that they could at least hold on for a few minutes.

As for attacking, he only had two methods. One was to control the Ancient Flame Bird, and the other was to use the Giant Spirit Axe.

In addition to releasing the newly forged Golden Armor Amulet, Falconer also had a Life Rune Sword in his hand. This Life Rune Sword might not be able to break the defense of the rank 9 and rank 10 mutant talisman insects, but it was a piece of cake for him to use it to kill these low-level golden-shelled insects.

Luo Zhan was hiding in the circle of the Golden Armor Amulet Shield. He stood back to back with Falconer. He was ready to use his Life Rune Sword to deal with the golden-shelled insects.

As soon as they rushed out of the defensive light screen, they felt a burning hot air. Fortunately, they had activated the two layers of defense. If they didn't have these two layers of defense, their clothes would have been burned as soon as they got out of the light screen. The surrounding area was a sea of fire. Countless golden-shelled insects rushed over, but they were all killed by the rotating Life Rune Sword. The crackling sounds were mixed with strange squeaking sounds.
