Chapter 589: Chapter 79 I recommend someone to everyone

But her smile did not last long.

Because soon, screams began to emanate from the forest.

Clearly, their group of twenty was unable to block all of the Giant Rats.

Some that slipped through the net chose to pursue those who fled.

And with the sheer number of Giant Rats in front of them, thousands upon thousands, those who fled were sometimes overpowered and ended up being bitten...

As for the fate of those people, Gu Xiaoxi dared not think about it!

Because in front of them, the Giant Rats had piled up into a hill, and blood flowed like a river.

The twenty of them had already shielded eighty people from the most dangerous of the beast tide. If they could not survive, it could only mean that their training was insufficient.

"Kate, we can’t go on like this. What should we do?" Feng Shuo said, waving his iron fan, his clothes now dyed red with his own blood. He was clearly anxious when he spoke.

"Fight while we retreat! I refuse to believe they will all come here to die!" Kate said with an indifferent tone. He hadn’t expected that just twenty of them would have already fought their way through a bloody path.

And so, they fought as they retreated.

Half an hour passed, and the forest was filled with the stench of blood.

Gu Xiaoxi and the others were all sweating from their foreheads, the battle had taken a toll on everyone’s mental and physical strength.

If things continued this way, in a few hours, even if they killed all of the Giant Rats, they would die of exhaustion.

"I think we need to change our tactics!" Gu Xiaoxi suggested.

Kate turned to look at her and asked, "How should we change them? We are already resisting the Giant Rats’ attacks as effectively as possible. What if someone gets hurt when we change tactics?"

Gu Xiaoxi suddenly smiled enigmatically and said, "The Giant Rats are now attacking much slower. Let’s have half of us rest and the other half defend. We’ll switch every half hour! That way we can get some rest and readjust. Even if more Giant Rats come at us, we won’t be afraid!"

As Gu Xiaoxi finished speaking, everyone exchanged glances!

They felt the method was feasible.

Because of the previous bloodshed and fighting, their group of twenty had instilled a profoundly terrifying image in the hearts of the Giant Rats.

At this point, even though there was a dense army of Giant Rats not far away, they did not dare to charge at once. It seemed as if something was forcing them to surge forward.

If everyone was exhausted, it would indeed be detrimental to the group.

So, they adopted Gu Xiaoxi’s method.

They fought in two shifts.

Three hours went by like this.

The Giant Rats now stood not far away, eyeing them fiercely, but not daring to approach.

"I thought they were much fiercer! They’re not that bad!" Willy had never felt so relaxed. They had killed thousands of Giant Rats, yet they weren’t as exhausted as they had expected. Instead, everyone was still relatively energized.

At the same time, Jing Haoran, Yun Xiao, Tang Yisheng, and others felt their Special Abilities had increased.

Kate looked at Gu Xiaoxi with appreciation and said, "You’re truly Liuli Country’s most promising talent. Jing Rui has praised you to me before."

"Actually, I just did what I should do," Gu Xiaoxi replied with a smile.

The atmosphere lightened slightly through the conversation.

At this moment, everyone still dared not relax in the slightest.

"Captain Kate, I would like to apply to look for a way out!" Gu Xiaoxi said earnestly.

Kate kept a watchful eye on their surroundings while looking at Gu Xiaoxi with confusion and asked, "How are you planning to search? There are giant rats everywhere!"

"As long as you approve, I can handle it. I have my ways!" Gu Xiaoxi said confidently.

Kate nodded in understanding, scrutinizing her and making sure repeatedly, "Will it definitely be safe?"

"Yes!" Gu Xiaoxi promised emphatically.

"Good! Then go! Be careful, we’ll wait for you here to return!" Kate said, satisfied. For some reason, she always felt at ease talking to Gu Xiaoxi.

Her certainty about things also made people involuntarily believe her.

Meanwhile, the standoff between the team and the giant rats continued.

Right after Kate finished speaking, Gu Xiaoxi leapt onto a tree branch and then soared into the air.

She flew higher and higher until she was three or four hundred meters up.

Standing high in the sky, she looked up into the distance.

Her eyebrows involuntarily furrowed. In her field of vision, sunlight sprinkled through the forest, and the dense jungle at noon stretched as far as the eye could see. But...

About a kilometer away, she saw a water ripple-shaped shield that quietly isolated this piece of the forest from the outside world.

What was this? It was as if an invisible force had separated the forest from the outside.

Gu Xiaoxi had never seen such a miraculous sight before in her heart.

While she was frowning, she cut her own finger and quickly reached out with her Divine Sense toward the energy shield using the Fire of the Blazing Sun.

It was clearly sunny outside, but when her Divine Sense went past, everything outside the energy shield was pitch black.

Her Divine Sense was blocked?

Gu Xiaoxi immediately opened her eyes and wiped the blood off her finger.

She descended back to the treetop and from the treetop she jumped down to the ground beside Kate.

Kate was startled, thinking it was a giant rat and nearly attacked her.

"Why are you back so soon? Did you encounter any danger?" Kate did not expect Gu Xiaoxi to return so quickly.

"No! I saw some things that I can’t understand!" Gu Xiaoxi told everyone what she had seen without concealing anything.

Just then, Feng Shuo stopped and said with a tight frown, "I know what that is..."

At the same time, in the Yatang City high-rise office.

Jing Rui, upon hearing the Scout’s report and after analyzing with everyone, couldn’t help but exclaim, "A Barrier! How is that possible?"

"Jing Rui, you should know that at this time, there are many strange things that cannot be explained by technology. Like demons! Vampires, these are all genetic mutations, and they can exist. Let alone barriers!" Jack stated this fact expressionlessly.

Jing Rui took a deep breath, his expression turning cold, "The key issue now is, how to solve it!"

"Our International Alliance’s only metaphysics expert, an old gentleman, died three months ago. Up to now, we haven’t found anyone who understands metaphysics and can break the barrier," said Jack, and everyone’s gaze deepened slightly.

Jing Rui naturally knew of the old man Jack was referring to; he was over a hundred and sixty yet extremely spirited, a single man able to fight thirty strong men. He possessed many strange and unusual things, and it was said that he had practiced a kind of martial arts, which kept him looking as young as twenty until he died.

"Can all Cultivators break a barrier?" Suddenly, a soldier chimed in.

Jack shook his head, "Although I’m not clear on that. But we can try! At present, we can’t break the barrier; people can only enter, cannot leave. Even if we go inside, it wouldn’t help. The only thing to do is to find a way to destroy this barrier."

"I have someone to recommend to everyone!" the soldier suddenly said solemnly, "Everyone only knows him as Ya, coming and going without a trace, and his ability is extremely powerful. It’s said that with a single jade flute, he can heal illnesses and also kill."
