Chapter 451: Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon (II) (2/2)

But in spite of their size, their numbers were really terrifying. The whole outside of the Shield Wall was completely filled with these insects. Even if their attacks were repelled one after another by the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, their numbers were enough to make the external poisonous fog be blotted out. This was terrifyingly a group of at least a billion Poison Flying Insect.

Long Haochen’s group then understood what was the most terrifying species in these Swamps of Gloom. When numbers reached a certain threshold, it was bound to produce a qualitative difference. To say nothing of Long Haochen’s group, even if the Devil Snake Demon God Andromalius was here, his only possible way out would be to escape back to the ground.

In this situation, the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon showed an incredible toughness. In itself, it didn’t have any offensive ability that could be of harm to the enemy, but was able to rebound the flies, and spread out soft light fluctuation. Every time these fluctuation spread out, a large amount of these flying ants would get shot back, and none of them ended up able to bite at its main part.

At the same time, Long Haochen found out that the spiritual energy consumed by the Shield Wall was in the contrary really tiny. Even when the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon covered such a large area, the consumption of Long Haochen’s spiritual energy was only at five percent. Considering his total spiritual energy was a bit more than 14,000 units, this little consumption was almost nothing. It would take only a few breaths for him to recover it through his three spiritual cavities.

“Fly at full speed to rush out of here!” Even if the poisonous fog was even wider, it still had an end. It wouldn’t make sense if flying out of it was impossible.

Under the protection of that orange brilliance, Long Haochen’s group flew for over a thousand meters, before finally seeing the light again.

As they rushed out of this encirclement, the Poison Flying Insects that were surrounding the Shield Wall finally disappeared. However, everyone inside the Shield Wall was still drenched in cold sweat.

The number of flying bugs was really terrifying. So they were actually the origin of all that poisonous fog. In over a kilometer of poisonous fog, all the space was occupied by those flying insects. There had to be millions and millions of them for that! Without an incredible piece of omnidirectional defensive equipment such as the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, even if a powerhouse of the ninth step stepped in it, he would hardly meet another end than that of food for the Poison Flying Bugs.

As they dashed out, upon reaching the end, the outside Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon darkened by a lot, visibly from the corrosion caused by the poison fog. Had they remained in this poisonous fog any longer, Long Haochen wouldn’t dare be certain that the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon would have lasted.

And furthermore, the most terrifying thing was that, in the poison, no other elemental existence could be transferred. At the later stages of his flight, Long Haochen had to rely on his own reserves of spiritual energy, without a way to recover spiritual energy.

It was already the evening. Twilight was shining upon the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, making its orange glint milder, and remarkable.

Long Haochen stopped Shield Wall, taking a breath at the direction of the setting sun. A large amount of light essence immediately flew towards him, replenishing his previous consumption.

Right at this time, Long Haochen suddenly felt a burst of heat from the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. Looking at it, it had a somewhat transparent look. In a flash of light, the shield vanished gradually into his left hand, causing him to lose control over it.

How could this be? Long Haochen was stunned. Was the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon unable to bear the previous corrosion?

Attempting a few times, he was unable to summon the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon back. It looked that he was yet far from having discovered the mysteries behind that piece of Epic Equipment.

A fresh and clean air filling them, everyone took calm breaths just like Long Haochen, letting the lingering fears still filling them go away.

Lin Xin laughed out, “Boss, now that we did destroy a demon god pillar, can’t we call ourselves heroes of the Alliance, of humanity?”

Seeing his excited look, Long Haochen couldn’t help but let out a laugh, but didn’t utter a word in response.

On the side, Han Yu responded, “You are right, but we were heroes from the beginning. The instant we became Demon Hunters, it was already the case. Demon Hunter is a lifelong occupation. This duty may end in three circumstances. The first is by a decision of the Alliance, the second is the case that we aren’t able to keep fighting. But the most possible one is by death in the battlefield. As long as the demon side doesn’t go extinct, we, Demon Hunters will have to keep contending against them. For the sake of the Alliance, we cannot care about our own lives, and for the humanity, we have to be willing to sacrifice our own lives. How couldn’t we be heroes?”

Lin Xin extraordinarily became silent. His boast stopped, but it still didn’t change the fact that on the faces of every Demon Hunter from the 64th squad appeared smiles in spite of themselves.

To fight for the sake of the people, for the sake of humanity. To them, this was only natural.
