The comments section was practically a torrent of curses.
For the past three hours, almost all the Guardians had been actively preparing for battle, except for Dragon Country.
On the national battlefield.
Qin Feng and Sister Baor approached Uncle Jiu.
"Eh? What's this? And what's this rope?"
Sister Baor asked curiously.
She wanted to pick up the rope on the ground that was used to draw the formation, but Uncle Jiu stopped her.
Uncle Jiu said: "This is the 'Seven Star Hammer Formation' I've drawn, and the material used is the Binding Rope. Anyone who steps into the formation will be trapped. Even if my strength is insufficient, I can still buy us some time."
"Very good," Qin Feng praised. "Then I'll trouble Daoist to guard the second line of defense. I'll go ahead."
Before Uncle Jiu could retort, the big iron shell went forward, tata tata.
"It's already dark, I'm so hungry…"
Sister Baor sat listlessly in front of the National Gate. According to their previous agreement, she was the last line of defense.
For Sister Baor, the outside was pitch black anyway, and there was nothing to play with.
The main thing was, she was starving!
"Sigh…"
Uncle Jiu sighed heavily, having no choice but to go along with these two young people.
00:30 00:29
The countdown began, and the battlefield announcement echoed through the sky.
"Countdown: 10 seconds."
"The trial assault is about to begin. This assault features E-Rank monsters, a total of 5 Night Demons."
"Esteemed Guardian, we wish you good luck."
From previous information, Qin Feng knew that the monsters, resources, and reward levels on the national battlefield were divided into E-Rank, D-Rank, C-Rank, B-Rank, A-Rank, S-Rank, SS-Rank, and the highest, SSS-Rank, from lowest to highest.
The trial assault featured the lowest-level E-Rank monsters, the Night Demons.
Qin Feng was startled when he heard the words "Night Demon."
Night Demon? Aren't those the Zombies from I Am Legend?
"Five of them right off the bat! Looks like Blue Star is in trouble."
He wasn't afraid of the Night Demons.
Forget five, he could handle fifty.
Night Demons didn't have high attack power, but they were incredibly fast.
Mark 1 was also clunky, and if there were too many Night Demons, it wouldn't be able to stop them.
But with Uncle Jiu behind him, and Sister Baor holding down the fort! Qin Feng wasn't afraid at all.
What he was worried about was whether the other Guardians could hold their ground, which was still a question.
Because there were a full 300 National Gates!
Among them, there were unfortunate countries where all three Guardians only drew Gray-Tier talents, and their physical fitness didn't improve much.
Once a Night Demon breaks through the National Gate, the Blue Star will enter Zombie Game Mode…
Thinking of that scene, Qin Feng couldn't help but shiver.
The Guardians were sharpening their blades, and the people and those in power on Blue Star were getting anxious.
"Night Demon? What kind of monster is that?"
"I don't know, never heard of it."
"Five seconds left, then we'll see what the Night Demon looks like!"
"So nervous, so nervous!"
"Nervous my ass, the outcome is already decided. You and I will immediately lose three years of our lives."
...
"Roar!"
As he spoke, a roar came from the screen, and everyone almost held their breath.
On the national battlefield, Qin Feng went tatata, constantly heading towards the roar and entering the darkness.
"Young Qin, don't go in!"
Uncle Jiu was anxious when he saw this.
If something happened in the light, he could still help.
But how could he help once he entered the darkness?
He still had to defend the National Gate!
Roar! Roar!!
Several roars in a row piqued Sister Baor's interest.
"This Night Demon, it's quite interesting. I want to see just how ferocious it is!"
In the darkness, Qin Feng felt the roars were right in front of him.
He immediately pulled the trigger, and flames erupted from the mech's right arm.
A Night Demon had already crept up close, almost within a meter.
"Awoo!"
The Night Demon was set ablaze, howling and rolling on the ground.
With the help of the fire, Qin Feng got a clear look at the other four Night Demons.
He swung his right arm, setting two more ablaze.
"Awoo..."
"Awoo..."
Instantly, there were three 'bonfires' on the ground! "Good job, Little Qin!"
Uncle Jiu was elated.
He had thought his teammate would be dead weight, but he hadn't expected him to be so capable.
The Dragon Country citizens watching on their screens were equally astonished.
They all widened their eyes, staring at the scene before them in disbelief.
Even the barrage of comments stopped.
On the battlefield, the other two Night Demons were more spread out and quick to react. They went around Qin Feng to the left and right, charging towards the National Gate.
Uncle Jiu took out two Talismans to Subdue Zombies. "Are these foreign Jiangshi? I don't know if the Talisman to Subdue Zombies will work on them."
Seeing this, Qin Feng reminded him:
"Be careful, Daoist, their toxins are contagious!"
Zombies are different from Jiangshi; they are a species controlled by a virus, and the Talisman to Subdue Zombies won't work on them.
Worrying that Uncle Jiu might be in trouble, Qin Feng activated the flight button.
Instantly, the jet boots emitted two streams of intense, dazzling white light, extremely eye-catching in the darkness.
The heavy, clunky shell struggled to take flight.
Sister Baor was overjoyed, her sleepiness completely gone.
Your support means a lot-thanks in advance, legends!
