c221: 211: Hero Saves the Beauty

Qin Ling fell from a great height. The altitude combined with his inertia sent him crashing heavily to the ground.

The spiritual attack intensified. Qin Ling struggled to get up, but he couldn’t.

His head felt like it was splitting apart. He clutched it, his body curling up on the ground.

Several High-level Crystal Stones quickly materialized in Qin Ling’s hand to rapidly replenish his spiritual power.

As the Alliance Leader, Qin Ling obviously possessed a Space Treasure.

Previously, Qin Ling’s Space Treasure had been a ring, but it was taken by the wildmen in the rainforest. He had since replaced it.

Only with strong spiritual power could one withstand more spiritual attacks.

After quickly absorbing the Crystal Stones in his hand, Qin Ling endured the Soul Beast’s spiritual attack and approached the wall, trying to grab a lowered rope and climb up.

The main gate was shut tight at this moment. From inside the base at the gate, the scene outside was invisible.

Some of the bolder superpower users with high attributes crowded onto the watchtower, where they could see what was happening outside.

Meanwhile, on top of the wall, Lao Er, Lao San, and a few others, along with Tang Mo, stood on the high ramparts, watching the battle below. They were monitoring the situation, ready to react at a moment’s notice.

Seeing their boss’s current predicament, everyone was extremely anxious, but there was nothing they could do.

For some unknown reason, the Soul Beast’s spiritual attack was now focused entirely on Qin Ling. This was the only reason they could stand safely on the wall.

If they went down to help, they would undoubtedly suffer the same spiritual attack.

They weren’t Qin Ling. They were afraid that not only would they be unable to help, but they would need their boss to save them instead.

Before Tang Mo had risen in the ranks, Qin Ling had always held the number one spot on the Huaxia leaderboard.

He hadn’t earned that top rank for nothing.

After all, Qin Ling was an agility attribute superpower user, not a Spirit Attribute one.

The other superpower users had nearly lost their ability to move when they were hit by the group spiritual attack earlier.

But now, Qin Ling was single-handedly taking on the spiritual attack that had previously been spread among all of them.

The fact that this cumulative damage only restricted his movements—that he could still struggle to his feet and walk—was already an incredible feat.

"He’s number one on the Huaxia leaderboard for a reason. If I had to endure a spiritual attack like that for so long, I’d probably be paralyzed."

Someone on the watchtower said to the person next to them, still shaken as they watched the battle.

"You? You wouldn’t even dare to go out there in the first place, would you?"

The person beside them retorted mercilessly.

The people on the watchtower were the elite in terms of attribute values, but even they were stunned by Qin Ling’s astonishing resistance.

Keep in mind, the superpower users who had suffered just a few seconds of that group spiritual attack were still lying in the rear, coughing up blood.

"Boss, grab the rope! We’ll pull you up!"

The people on the wall couldn’t go down, so they could only shout for Qin Ling to grab the rope.

Qin Ling struggled to grab the rope, wrapping it around his waist.

But as soon as Lao San and the others on the wall started to pull, the mutant beasts below would mercilessly drag Qin Ling back down.

Qin Ling endured the spiritual attack while using the last of his strength to fend off the attacks from the Advanced Mutant Beasts around him.

Being attacked by forty-odd mutant beasts was a terrifying prospect—so terrifying that an ordinary person wouldn’t even dare to imagine it. They would be torn to shreds in minutes.

Yet, Qin Ling had held them off alone for so long. While resisting, he was still trying to grab the rope and climb back to the base.

Gradually, as his stamina drained, Qin Ling began to sustain injuries. Wounds started appearing all over his body.

But his face remained expressionless, as if he weren’t in extreme danger, but just in another ordinary battle.

However, everyone watching the fight knew the agony Qin Ling was enduring.

Pain in his body, and in his mind.

Tang Mo’s lips were pressed into a thin, tight line as she stood on the wall, watching everything unfold below.

When Qin Ling was once again thrown from the rope and slammed to the ground, Tang Mo couldn’t sit still any longer.

She couldn’t stand it. She really couldn’t stand it anymore.

Tang Mo leaped directly off the six- or seven-meter-high wall. Her movement was so fluid that it startled Xu the Third, who was sitting next to her.

"’Sis-in-law, it’s dangerous!’"

Seeing his sis-in-law jump down, Xu the Third was scared to death. ’The boss can’t even get back up, and now Sis-in-law is down there too. What are we supposed to do?’

"Sis-in-law!"

"Stop yelling. Sis-in-law has the Spirit Attribute, with an attribute value of over ten thousand. Your stats are just a rounding error compared to hers. What are you worrying for?"

Lao Er said calmly, listening to the panicked cries of the others around him.

’Right now, the only one here who can save the boss is Sis-in-law.’

The moment Tang Mo leaped, she pulled Wind Breaker from her Space and took it in hand.

By the time she landed steadily on the ground, a new circle of mutant beasts had already surrounded Qin Ling.
