Chapter 1347: Taking Care Of The Crystal

“Looks like the User could be summoned anytime.” The System said as it monitored the situation carefully since Xiong Da had decided to place the limited Panda God Statue on the battlefield. 

“It really does seem excessive for him to do that…” Jin did not like coming out so soon into the battlefield but he had no choice since he was the one who had given Xiong Da that particular Panda Statue in the first place. 

“There was nothing that could be done for the moment,” Jin added as he saw Bu Dong had managed to kill quite a number of Demon Rats with the new weapons that he had. He spammed the assault rifle like there was no tomorrow and instead of switching magazines, he merely threw it to the ground and started using another one. There was no time for him to think nor take his time to switch the rifles since he was not skilled enough to do a quick swap. However, it did not mean that those rifles that were spent were proven to be useless after he was done with them.

Similar to Xiong Da, Bu Dong also had bought a few mercenary contracts and a few of them were specifically to help him with this situation. A pair of Otters emerged from his contract and took partial control of his storage rings. As Bu Dong threw the rifles to the ground, the Otters would pick them up and swap the ammunition if they were still available. After which, they threw them back into the storage ring so that Bu Dong could resummon them back whenever he needed them. Simultaneously, the Otters also made sure that any injured Demon Rats who they come across were killed as well with a slit to their throats. This allowed Bu Dong to continue to look forward and shoot without any care.

In the meantime, Luo Bo was taking care of the ranged units that posed a threat to Xiong Da or any of the defenders protecting the establishment of the teleportation crystal. On the other hand, Bin Yong was rushing from one corner to another beating up monsters that were on Luo Bo’s and Bu Dong’s blind side. But with the current setup, they had managed to place a considerable amount of distance between them and the remaining Demon Rats that were on the Third and remaining Inner Wall. 

“How much longer would the installation of the teleportation crystal take?” Luo Bo asked as she used her chi to fire an ultra long range shot when she managed to catch a sniper rifle’s glare from afar. More and more of those snipers were coming up and she knew that the Demon Rats were also using this chance to consolidate their forces after killing the remaining Pandarens within their vicinity. It could be possible that they were the last batch of Pandarens that survived the onslaught.

“I have no idea! There is no progress bar on this stupid thing and it keeps asking me to play this typing game to accelerate the installation!” Xiong Da was frustrated that this was the only way to progress the installation of the teleportation crystal and he knew that Jin could have implemented an easier way to install it but chose not to.

However, that pause was necessary as Jin and the System were preparing the coordinates for a mass drop of Pandarens who were urged to enter the moment the teleportation crystals were up. In addition, the teleportation crystal that Xiong Da was currently installing had an anti teleportation spell similar to the one cast around the Outer Wall Camp because of the Demon Rats’ trickery of teleporting the Pandarens away from the battlefield. 

That typing game that Xiong Da was forced to ‘play’ was practically an instructional spell casting device that once given the proper commands would initiate the anti teleportation spell. But unbeknownst to the people who were currently fighting on the ground, the spell had already activated, preventing the Demon Rat Mages from casting those sneaky teleport spells. It’s just that the range was slowly expanding to ensure that it covered enough area to keep the place around the crystal safe. 

And as Xiong Da continued to struggle against the typing game, a few big shots had started to arrive. Bin Yong and Bu Dong could recognise that the Demon Rat Abominations in front of them were different from the standard ones that they had fought before. They were not only bigger in size but there was an aura of magic around them, indicating that they were enchanted with spells to make them more durable in fights.

The Pandawans had fought them before in the kill zone boxes and they were a pain in the ass to fight with. They were able to win with the combination of techniques from the various Pandawans with them. But now that they were pushed to a corner and probably pinned down with the advancing horde of Demon Rats, the Pandawans have to go the extra mile to make sure the teleportation crystal is unscathed else it would be a disaster moving forward.

And to make things worse, their favourite Demon Rat General suddenly appears right in front of the horde. “Well, well well! Isn’t it my favourite humans that are still struggling like maggots?” Roughscream said as he swung his club right above his shoulders. 

“Why don’t you fight against us one to one?” Bu Dong shouted back, not knowing whether the Demon Rats would understand him. (Although there was the translation module, there were certain dungeon instances that the cultivators had no way of communicating back, like the time they fought against the Deep Ones.)

“Why should I do that?” Roughscream seemed to understand Bu Dong’s taunt and sent forth the Demon Rats and the Abominations ahead. 

“Buy me some time. I can provide you with some support.” Luo Bo said as she walked to the frontlines. The rest of the Pandawans knew that Luo Bo had the best monster clearing skills among them and decided to hold their ground as much as possible. Even Bin Yong who was rather stingy with his items had finally decided to use them.

An extended spellbook where he was able to use a certain spell without any restraints of being a mage but the drawback was the number of uses it had.
