233 True Glory (1/2)
Chapter 233: True Glory
The sacred voice only prompted them that the Tree of Life would die after thirty seconds. However, it did not explain how the Tree of Life could be saved. It was as though it was just telling the quartet to make certain necessary preparations.
According to the rules, if the Tree of Life were to die, it was equivalent to the fall of the city. The trial-takers would then be transported to other cities, but their Tower Defense Points were to be reset to zero.
It could be said that the consequences were not as serious as one would imagine. It only meant restarting.
But surprisingly enough, it was the adonis who had the fewest points that was most agitated about it, despite him suffering the least losses. He angrily yelled, “Fuck! Who was the one who let the mobs in?”
The adonis suddenly pointed his finger at the silver-haired girl and roared, “Was it you? Yes, it must be you and Tu Dahei. Both your sides do not have any demonic beasts. How could it be possible to clear them so fast? It must be the two of you who let them through!”
However, the silver-haired girl completely ignored the adonis. She could not even be bothered to turn her head. Instead, she walked in front of Shi Xiaobai and wrote on her writing board.
“Brother Xiaobai, I did some calculations. You must have more than 500 points now. Quickly take the opportunity to enter the third level!”
Shi Xiaobai fell silent. It was unknown what was on his mind.
As the incessant sounds of the adonis’ angry curses entered his ears, while words written by the silver-haired girl out of concerned entered his sight. “Brother Xiaobai, the Tree of Life’s death only means a restart. I’ll be able to catch up with you soon. Hurry up and go. There isn’t much time. There won’t be any time left if you don’t go now!”
Shi Xiaobai suddenly laughed. It was a relieved laugh, a laugh with resolute eyes.
He suddenly turned around and charged straight for the Points Treasury.
The other three were given a fright by Shi Xiaobai’s speed. But what followed next astonished them greatly.
They saw a golden beam of light shoot down from the sky as it completely enveloped the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life’s withered branches slowly became fuller as greenness started appearing above the gray tree trunk.
The golden light only lasted for a few seconds, but the Tree of Life had been pulled back from the brink of death.
The authoritative voice boomed once again.
“Lesser Healing has been used. The Tree of Life is out of its dying state.”
Questions filled the trio’s minds.
Why did a Lesser Healing suddenly appear?
At this moment, Shi Xiaobai slowly walked out the Points Treasury.
Liu Yu suddenly widened his eyes and shouted, “Tu Dahei, you exchanged your points for the Lesser Healing of the Tree of Life!?”
Shi Xiaobai nodded silently.
However, the adonis sneered and said, “So it can be healed. No wonder you did not look worried at all. Were those demonic beasts let in because of your carelessness?”
Before the adonis finished his sentence, Liu Yu’s expression changed drastically. He angrily growled, “Shut up!”
The adonis turned around in shock, while Liu Yu said with a sneer, “Do you know how many points Lesser Healing costs? A full 500 points! Do you understand? Tu Dahei could have used his 500 points to clear the level, but he used it to heal the Tree of Life. Who do you think he did this for?”
The adonis’ face immediately turned pale. However, he insisted softly, “He must be feeling guilty for letting in some of the harpies.”
Liu Yu stared at him and raised his hand to slap at the adonis.
But at this moment, a voice resounded throughout the skies!
“The first person to clear Tower Defense has appeared. Participant, Speechless Li, has been sent to the third level!”
