Chapter 177: Second form
“Immovable Boulder!”
This was Shengyuan’s Giant Shieldman’s job skill.
Ye Zhongming naturally knew about it.
This was the thing that gave him the biggest confidence today.
If Envoy of Light was a defense-leaning job, then the giant shieldman was a total defence job. All the skills for this job were used to defend.
Actually, not many people were willing to learn such a job.
Think about it, how does one evolve? One had to spin wheels, if one wanted to spin, one needed crystals. How to get crystals? You had to kill zombies or other mutated lifeforms.
If you learned a defensive job and all skills were defense skills then how to kill zombies?
Right, this job was important for a team and it could protect the safety of the team.
But this also meant that the person who learned this job was giving up the gains and items.
No one was willing to risk their lives for others but end up having to rely on their pity to get stronger.
But maybe because of that, the defense of similar jobs was really strong. In the last life, the six star big fellow’s strongest defensive skill-- Golden Fortress could defend against a strike from a nine star evolved.
Immovable Boulder was the first job skill. Although it was a basic skill but its defence was really strong.
Ye Zhongming shouted. Shengyuan roared toward the sky and spurted blood out. He didn’t care and smashed his shield onto the ground. Mental energy was injected into his shield.
“Immovable… Boulder!”
Shengyuan opened his eyes in red. His body which was on the verge of collapse under the attacks from those mutated lifeforms now stood tall. His shield gave out a giant bright light.
An illusion that looked exactly the same as the shield appeared beside the shield. Then was the second. Third. Fourth…
A moment later, a giant shield that looked similar to the translucent Diamond Shield protected the party. This wasn’t over. Above the shield was another row, then the 3rd, 4th and 5th layer.
In a blink, there were five rows of illusions that blocked the party from those mutated lifeforms.
Those shields flickered but they were close to one another.
The other members of the party didn’t need to risk their lives and they felt much more relaxed. They were impressed by Shengyuan’s job skills as they didn’t know that such a thing existed.
In comparison, Park Xiuying’s Diamond Shield was a mini one. They forgot that the Diamond Shield could move and it was an automatic defence. One could say that these two skills had their pros.
The attacks from the monsters didn’t stop just because of one skill. They were pushed outwards by the rows of shields and that angered them. To them, these humans were a meal and they would be able to break through in the next second. They wanted to taste the delicious blood.
They didn’t think much about this shield formation. How could a bunch of low level humans have strong skills?
The monsters gave out weird sounds and they all wanted to pounce on these illusions and crush them!
As for the thing that was kicked out, some monsters casually hit it. It fell near another monster but none of them cared about it.
The team was pushed near the wheel. Only Shengyuan blocked and behind him was Ye Zhongming who pulled out a black gun.
It was the sniper rifle he got from the new base.
“Coming!”
Shengyuan was bleeding from all holes.
Immovable Boulder didn’t need mental energy when he first used it.
It was a channeled skill that used mental energy each second. The stronger the attacks you faced, the more mental energy you consumed.
Under the attacks of 20-30 monsters, Shengyuan’s mental energy was dropping each second. Those five rows of shields actually couldn’t last for too long.
If not for Shengyuan’s strong will, if not for the natural advantage of the giant shieldman, Shengyuan would have died already.
But in the end, he was just a one star evolved. After just two seconds, he felt like his organs were burning up. He could only shout out two hoarse words.
Ye Zhongming knew what he meant.
Immovable Boulder was split into two stages.
The first was to protect all that he could protect. Each illusion’s defence was the same as the shield itself. After use, it was as if you replicated thousands of users.
Apart from this, the skill was special as it had another stage.
This second stage wouldn’t normally appear if the first stage blocked everything.
Once the first stage was not enough, Immovable Boulder would use the second stage to protect the targets from before. It would reduce the defensive area and strengthen the defence.
Five rows of shields exploded and forced the monsters back. The fragments landed like rain and turned into a shiny mirror that covered everyone.
The moment the two forms switched, the gun fired.
The loud explosion from the sniper rifle caused the ears of everyone to ring.
“Buff him with the shield and use Cleansing Dew!”
Ye Zhongming shouted at the exact same time.
Park Xiuying continuously cast the shield and Cleansing Dew like she had infinite mental energy.
Hong!
The sudden explosion covered everything.
Immovable Boulder, Ye Zhongming’s shot, shouts, Park Xiuying adding shield, explosion. These things occurred at pretty much the same time.
The Immovable Boulder light shook after the explosion. Shengyuan’s body moved too. If someone was in front of him, they would notice that his eyes were dimmed, he was kneeling down with his shoulder pushing his shield forwards. He was using his body to prevent the shield from dropping.
If the shield dropped, the light shield would shatter.
Light fell on Shengyuan’s body, pulling him who was halfway into the gates of hell. But on the other side, hell was dragging this determined kid.
Dust covered the surrounding area. Forest, sun, wheel, monsters were all gone. They just felt the area shaking. All that remained was the desire to live.
Suddenly, a giant shockwave appeared beside them. They were caught off guard and pushed back. Trees were smashed as they knocked into them. If they weren’t evolved, this hit was enough to kill them.
After the shockwave, the entire battlefield turned silent. Only a few burnt threes and some unknown bodies were burning and giving out a ear piercing smell.
Ye Zhongming slowly recovered. He wanted to sit up but felt huge pain in his left arm. He touched and fortunately, it was dislocated. He pressed it and used strength on his right hand and shoulder to fix it.
He picked up Moon Edge and looked around.
Xia Lei and Liang Chuyin were beside. After the intense explosion, the three knocked into one another. Ye Zhongming protected them which caused his arm to dislocate.
Liang Chuyin fell unconscious and she had several wounds on her body but it wasn’t a big issue. The hole from that monster was still the most serious one.
Xia Lei had a huge patch of blood on her forehead that covered half of her face. Although she could open her eyes, but she was a little lost. Ye Zhongming pulled aside her hair to see a stone stuck into her head which left a wound. It looked terrifying but it wasn’t a big issue.
He started to search for the other members. Mo Ye and Little Tiger were quickly found. Little Tiger was like a cockroach. His body had no obvious injuries and he woke up quick. He was already taking care of the unconscious Mo Ye.
This woman was injured before and couldn’t walk. Now that she was hit by the shockwave, it didn’t look good.
Ye Zhongming saw Shengyuan and Park Xiuying as well as Yellow Ball.
Ye Zhongming rushed over. He took a look at Shengyuan who was in the worst state and heaved a sigh of relief. He was still breathing. The use of mental energy and the shockwave probably left serious internal injuries.
Park Xiuying was not unconscious but her hand was hanging so her bones were probably broken. Her eyes were red as she tried to climb up. She said, “Red hair, where is red hair, she helped to block a piece of stone for me.”
Ye Zhongming ordered Park Xiuying to save Shengyuan and Red Hair was the one who protected her.
“Here!” She shouted happily. She ran over and saw the red hair Iron Zombie whose whole body was twisted.
“Zhongming, quick…”
She wanted to ask him to save her but she saw his body disappearing into the dust.
After which, she heard the furious roars of monsters.
When Le Dayuan and his helpers rushed over and helped to gather the members of the team, Ye Zhongming walked over slowly from the distance. His face was covered in all sorts of different blood. His forehead and chin had burn marks. His left hand hung down and he stumbled.
Moon Edge wasn’t in his right hand but he had a bunch of demon crystals.
A bunch of black crystals!
