Xie Xue looked at the transparent protective wall, which was sparsely covered with papers. The papers were pasted in a messy fashion, without any order, and he had no idea what they were for.
The crucial point was that no matter if the protective wall was ignited with flames or struck by lightning, those papers remained unaffected and not a single one fell off.
Er Hu glanced at what Xie Xue was saying and replied, "As for those papers, I don't know what they're for. Meng Huai put them there."
"Meng Huai put them there?"
Xie Xue mused about this girl's origins, noting that the things she produced were all very peculiar. He mentioned the detoxification pill, something he had never even heard of.
However, when Xie Xue received the pills, he immediately took one and sent it to his home to have it researched.
Upon hearing that Meng Huai had pasted the papers, Xie Xue kept subconsciously looking at them.
At this moment, the number of star beasts was increasing. The protective wall finally had a breach. Meng Huai also sensed that a part of the protective wall had been broken, but they had not yet arrived there.
Meng Huai remembered that she had pasted many talismans on the wall and then activated the spiritual energy circulating around her to connect with those talismans.
The talismans were remotely activated by Meng Huai, but the depletion of spiritual energy was doubled. However, just activating the few talismans at the broken section, Meng Huai could still bear such depletion.
No one on the aircraft noticed Meng Huai's actions; everyone was waiting to provide support.
"Teacher Wang, how much longer?"
To speed up the aircraft, Teacher Wang was manually piloting it forward. However, everyone thought about the star beasts attacking with full force, and those on the aircraft were anxious.
"Soon, soon."
At this moment, Xie Xue and Er Hu in the command center were staring at the image on the screen, their eyeballs almost popping out.
"What is… what is this thing?" Xie Xue excitedly pointed at the screen and asked.
…
Er Hu thought, if you don't know, how would I know!
"I'm not sure!"
At this moment, the star beasts saw the breached protective wall and seemed to realize it was a point of breakthrough. A horde of star beasts rushed towards it.
The star beasts all crowded towards this spot, causing the heads of several star beasts to collide. But this was not the main point. The main point was that a talisman at the breached section suddenly made crackling sounds and launched an attack towards the heads of those star beasts.
In an instant, the heads of those few star beasts turned to ashes, and simultaneously, that talisman disappeared. However, that spot was not the only one with a talisman; the rest of the talismans were also mobilized by Meng Huai, forming a protective barrier.
A single talisman could exert its own function, such as a Five Thunder Talisman being able to unleash lightning. But several talismans gathered together could form a defensive formation to resist attacks.
The current situation was that it was visibly a hole in the protective wall, but attacks could not penetrate it.
Xie Xue and Er Hu were stunned by the situation, but they both knew that the unfamiliar things must have played a crucial role.
A few minutes later, Teacher Wang's aircraft also arrived. At this time, star beasts were attacking the protective wall.
"Spread out and defeat them one by one!"
At this moment, some people were already fighting, which were the guards stationed nearby. Unlike the star beasts, people could pass through the protective wall freely. These students, upon hearing Teacher Wang's command, directly went to meet the enemy.
Er Hu was assisting in the command center, utilizing all possible attack methods.
"There are too many of these star beasts; they are endless!"
Xie Xue had already led people to support them, while Er Hu was stomping his feet in the command center. Seeing that almost all of them were running out of energy to maintain the attacks, and the protective wall was also about to collapse.
When Xie Xue and the others arrived, the outside of the protective wall was already piled with the corpses of star beasts. Although these star beasts were not of high level, their sheer numbers were overwhelming.
Jing Yuancheng and Hui Xingxiu, during their usual battles, would often exchange playful banter. But at this moment, they didn't even want to open their mouths, feeling it was a waste of energy.
Moreover, they now roughly understood Meng Huai's usual concern about energy conservation. They were constantly fighting and didn't even have time to replace their energy.
Even Rong Feiwen, standing behind them, although a mech pilot, did not need to replace energy for individual soldiers or inspect and repair mechs. Rong Feiwen stood behind and launched ranged attacks, his mech's cannons continuously firing shells.
His mech cannons had undergone continuous modification and upgrades. Other mech pilots were not enthusiastic about combat, but Rong Feiwen was different; he felt he also had to contribute his strength to the team.
Therefore, Rong Feiwen indeed played a role here.
Another person, Zheng Yiran, was also attacking the star beasts with his psychic abilities. The star beasts dealt with by Zheng Yiran died silently. From the outside, there were no visible signs of injury, but if the brain were exposed, the nerve fibers in the star beasts' heads would be seen to be disordered.
And Meng Huai was still wielding her great saber, killing her way through the star beast horde. No matter how many star beasts there were or how densely they were packed, it did not affect her movement.
"Damn it!"
An unrestrained curse echoed in the command center. Er Hu kept pressing the controller, but the protective wall could no longer emit anything, be it protection, cannonballs, or flames. It had nothing left because its energy was depleted.
Meng Huai felt the change in the protective wall and muttered, "This damn high technology is really unreliable."
She killed two more star beasts that mindlessly lunged towards her, as if they didn't know how painful death was.
The star beasts fell under her saber, and blood continuously dripped from it. Meng Huai retreated and passed through the protective wall, feeling it swaying precariously.
She directly sat in front of the protective wall and mobilized all the spiritual energy in her body. Since the people of this era did not understand cultivation at all, they could not sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy. However, at this moment, although everyone still couldn't feel the spiritual energy fluctuations, they could sense the atmosphere around them.
They all subconsciously looked towards the source of this chilling atmosphere, watching as Meng Huai had somehow returned inside the protective wall.
And why was her posture of sitting cross-legged so peculiar? What was she trying to do?
"Meng Huai, what's wrong?"
"Junior Meng, are you tired?"
Someone asked while fighting, but Meng Huai remained motionless, not replying to anyone.
Until Meng Huai gathered all the spiritual energy she could mobilize, she calmly said, "Everyone, retreat!"
Although her voice was calm, everyone heard it and instinctively obeyed her command, taking a few steps back.
The commanders present sensed Meng Huai's command and looked towards her. Had Meng Huai used her psychic perception to establish a communication channel and directly control their thoughts?
But, wasn't this something only commanders could do? Moreover, there were many high-ranking personnel present. To control so many people, what level would one have to be, and how proficient would their psychic perception have to be to achieve this!
Everyone was shocked, but what they saw and heard next was truly exciting!
