Chapter 602: Chapter 602: Shi Lei’s Rock Giant, Li Jiaojiao’s Vegetable
“Everyone, don’t panic!”
Shi Lei bellowed, steadying the hearts of the people of Nankou City.
“Big Brother, what should we do?”
Two Second-generation Inner Sect Disciples from the Element Gathering Realm flew up from the ground into the air, asking Shi Lei for instructions.
One of them was Shen Yu, who was adept at Formations.
“Don’t worry, after all, I am at the seventh level of the Element Gathering Realm; I can protect Nankou City.” Shi Lei patted the shoulders of Shen Yu and another female disciple named Zhou Yin.
“Big Brother, what can we do?”
Shen Yu clasped his hands together, ready to activate a Formation, “Should I begin by setting up a small protective Formation to shield Nankou City?”
“Do it!” Shi Lei nodded.
“Big Brother, what about me?” Zhou Yin asked hurriedly.
“Zhou Yin, you assist Shen Yu. When setting up the Formation, he is likely to come under attack; protecting his safety is enough.” Shi Lei instructed.
“Understood.”
Whoosh!
Shen Yu and Zhou Yin landed on the ground.
One began the formation while the other, holding a sharp sword, took the role of protector.
Soon, a vast expanse of hazy brilliance shot into the sky and then spread outward, forming a hemispherical barrier with a diameter of a kilometer, sheltering Nankou City within it.
“Shen Yu’s mastery of Formations is improving,” noted Shi Lei, smiling at the shield below to express his admiration; then he turned his gaze towards the approaching tide of beasts a few miles away and saw that several of the leading Demonic Beasts were at the High-Rank Demon General Level.
“Big Brother, quickly inside the shield!” Zhou Yin shouted.
“No need.”
Shi Lei shook his head.
He flew out, landing on the ground before Nankou City, leaving behind a broad and towering silhouette.
“Big Brother, what are you doing?”
Shen Yu and Zhou Yin were anxious.
The citizens of Nankou City watched Shi Lei’s silhouette, their eyes wide with an indescribable feeling stirring in their hearts.
“Earth and Rock Art!”
Suddenly, Shi Lei recited a spell and formed hand seals, then powerfully slammed his hands into the ground, causing a violent tremor around him.
Booming…
Countless sharp earth and rocks erupted from the ground like numerous sharp Long Spears, carrying fierce energy, piercing through the bodies of many Demonic Beasts and pinning them to the ground.
“Fantastic!”
“What a move, Earth and Rock Art, instantly killing thousands of Demonic Beasts, Big Brother truly deserves his reputation,” Shen Yu and Zhou Yin were overjoyed.
The citizens of Nankou City also raised their arms in shouts, contributing a significant amount of Prestige Points to Shi Lei.
But, this tactic was only effective against Demon Soldiers.
Within the horde of the beast tide, there were still dozens of Demon Generals, transformed into human shapes, wielding various weapons, as they charged towards Shi Lei.
“Hmph, Mysterious Turtle Shield!”
Shi Lei formed a hand seal with one hand, enveloping himself with a Spell, then once again changed the hand seals, as a large amount of earth and rock converged upon him.
To the astonishment of onlookers, Shi Lei transformed into a hundred-meter-tall rock giant and then brought down a thunderous punch.
Crack!
Several Demon Generals did not even have the chance to cry out before they were pulverised into a pulp.
“What kind of Spell is this?”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Even Shen Yu and Zhou Yin had never seen Shi Lei perform such a Spell, and within the Misty Sect, there seemed to be no such technique either.
Inside the rock giant.
Shi Lei used his Spiritual Sense to perceive everything around him, feeling a confident surge of strength throughout his being.
“Indeed, it’s the ‘Tome of Earth and Stone Construction’ improved upon by the Sect Master Uncle; the control techniques contained within are truly exquisite. Even the combat is so fierce.”
Shi Lei clenched his fist, controlling the rock giant to plunge into the army of beasts, killing a Demon General with each punch and a Demon General with every step.
Even those High-Rank Demon Generals couldn’t withstand Shi Lei’s punches; a direct hit meant shattered bones, and at the very least, severe injuries.
“Wuu ahh…”
Eventually, those High-Rank Demon Generals dragged their injured bodies and fled back to the nearby mountain range.
“Don’t even think about escaping!”
Shi Lei, fully aware of the dangers of letting the tiger return to the mountain, immediately went in for the kill, leaving only his brave and towering figure behind for everyone to see.
“Big Brother Shi is truly amazing!”
Shen Yu and Zhou Yin exchanged a glance, admiration evident in their eyes.
An hour later.
Shi Lei returned to Nankou City.
In his palm, he held three glowing Demon Cores, taken from those High-Rank Demon Generals.
“Big Brother Shi is mighty!”
Shen Yu and Zhou Yin praised in unison.
“Haha, it’s nothing. Let’s continue building new houses for the residents of Nankou City and fortifying the sturdy city walls.”
“Alright!”
The three of them continued to be busy.
Thousands of miles away.
Li Jiaojiao, accompanied by the siblings Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Yu, was cooking for the people in an ancient town.
The fragrance of the food wafted through the air, permeating the entire town.
The tens of thousands of residents gathered by the roadside, setting up tables and chairs, holding their bowls and chopsticks, ready for the meal Li Jiaojiao was preparing.
High above.
Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Yu simultaneously used the “Fire Cloud Palm” to heat the huge pot, which Jiaojiao had pulled out, eight meters in diameter, filled with several thousand pounds of ingredients.
She used spells to stir-fry, controlled the quantity of seasoning with her Spiritual Sense, and added her own Spiritual Power, as well as many spices infused with Spiritual Medicine, making the aroma all the more tempting.
“It smells so good!”
“This fairy must be a celestial chef!”
The people of the ancient town were utterly enchanted.
Some, on catching a whiff of the aroma, almost fainted from happiness, their faces flushed with joy, nearly falling over from unsteadiness.
Soon, the big pot meal was ready.
“Time to eat!”
Li Jiaojiao waved her hand casually, and the food from the pot flew into the air, wrapped in Spiritual Power to keep it warm, and landed precisely in everyone’s bowls.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is a dish of green pepper beef stir-fry, please enjoy!”
Li Jiaojiao said with a smile.
The crowd couldn’t wait any longer; they eagerly started eating. First came the slightly spicy taste, then the rich flavor of the beef, spreading to every limb, so delicious it brought tears to their eyes.
“This is so delicious!”
“This is definitely the work of a god!”
The people of the ancient town cried out in bliss.
Watching the happy smiles on everyone’s faces, Li Jiaojiao wiped the sweat from her forehead, her lips curling up slightly.
Passing by today, she found that this ancient town had suffered a persistent drought, and countless refugees were on the brink of starvation.
Therefore, she first cast a spell to bring down a spring rain to nourish the earth, and then she personally prepared this dish.
After eating, everyone was stronger and more vigorous, contributing Prestige Points and the Power of Faith.
However, Li Jiaojiao was unaware of this.
Seeing the refugees no longer emaciated, her heart felt sweeter than if she had eaten honey.
In the subsequent time, she asked Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Yu to start digging channels, diverting water from a hundred miles away to irrigate the land.
The ancient town finally welcomed a new spring!
Having done all this, Li Jiaojiao announced that Whitefloat City was recruiting, and instantly, thousands of people were willing to move and settle in Whitefloat City.
The rest were the old folks of the ancient town, unwilling to leave their ancestral homes.
To this, Li Jiaojiao said nothing.
In other places, the disciples of the Misty Sect also gained a large number of Prestige Points and the Power of Faith through various methods, and recruited many people willing to migrate to Whitefloat City.
The Sect mission progress was steadily improving.
Behind the scenes.
Ye Feng watched all this, feeling immensely gratified.
