Reborn One Week Before the Apocalypse

Chapter 221: Chapter 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.

Qin Ling was still clutching his weapon, swinging it around.

”They’re really taking the bullying too far.”

Seeing this scene, Tang Mo was furious. She was fiercely protective and couldn’t stand to see her own people being bullied.

Because there were so many people watching, Tang Mo hadn’t jumped down the instant Qin Ling was in danger, as long as it wasn’t life-threatening.

She believed Qin Ling could handle it. He was the Alliance Leader, and she didn’t want to go out and steal his thunder.

But now, she couldn’t take it anymore.

This had gone too far.

This was the absolute last straw!

Tang Mo dashed to Qin Ling’s side. She poured her spiritual power into Wind Breaker and swung it fiercely, knocking the mutant beasts away.

Then, she helped Qin Ling up, pulled him behind her, and began to slowly retreat toward the wall.

The Soul Beast had obviously noticed Tang Mo.

It was the human who had locked eyes with it earlier.

The spiritual power she had just unleashed in that strike identified her as the owner of the spiritual presence that had been probing the area, sweeping over its body again and again.

The Soul Beast knew that Qin Ling was the master of this base, the leader of the flock.

But this female human who appeared later made it feel even more wary.

This one carried a scent similar to its own—the scent of its own kind.

Just as Tang Mo and Qin Ling were retreating, the target of the Soul Beast’s spiritual attack suddenly changed.

All of the spiritual attacks shifted from Qin Ling to Tang Mo.

In an instant, Tang Mo felt a foreign power attacking her sea of consciousness, making her temples throb.

This feeling was very familiar to Tang Mo. She had encountered it before, back when she first tried to form a contract with that little monkey and accidentally ran into its parent.

Her spiritual power was very weak back then, and she was almost hit by the backlash.

But things were different now...

Unlike the invading power, which had a silver glow, the spiritual power in Tang Mo’s sea of consciousness shone with a golden light.

’It’s actually golden?!’

A look of shock appeared on the Soul Beast’s previously expressionless face.

The golden spiritual power in Tang Mo’s sea of consciousness formed a wall that violently repelled the silver light.

She didn’t know much about this Soul Beast and feared a trap, so she didn’t devour the silver-glowing spiritual power.
