At the entrance to the villa area, a group of survivors were whispering among themselves.
The notice came too suddenly, and there was no explanation, leaving them to speculate about what was really happening.
Xiaopeng also couldn't figure it out, with a vague, crazy guess in his mind, followed by a shake of his head and a sigh.
Chen Haiping stood outside the yellow line as well, his mind replaying the words Tang Yu had just said...
It felt unbelievable!
Suddenly, the ground trembled.
Stones piled into small mounds rolled down one by one, yet fell very systematically around the yellow line, as if drawn by some unnamed great force.
Soon, these stones dissolved one by one, sinking into the ground.
The next moment, rumble!
The trembling grew more intense, accompanied by the falling pebbles, a black wall gradually appeared, slowly rising.
One meter.
Two meters.
Five meters.
Ten meters!
In just a few breaths, a magnificent wall stood before their eyes!
The black wall seemed to be a seamless whole, without any trace of bricks or stones, towering ten meters high, four meters wide, and heavy and profound like a giant black beast crouching there!
Standing before the wall, everyone profoundly felt their insignificance.
Chen Haiping stood silently by the gate.
He understood Tang Yu's intentions. After seeing the castle, he believed the leader possessed a special ability to construct buildings in a short period, perhaps a variation of earth series ability, or perhaps a stranger form of construction ability.
When Director Tang informed him of the upcoming construction of the wall, he was quite surprised. However, even then, covering such a large area of the villa district with a small surrounding wall seemed challenging.
But now!
This black, heavy, and majestic wall far exceeded anything a dirt wall could describe; it was a genuine wall, capable of withstanding demonized beast attacks!
Even our previous Sanctuary only had a barbed wire fence with more of an alarm than a defensive function...
If Chen Haiping was so shocked, the other survivors looking at this towering wall had expressions so exaggerated that they could become emoticons.
They had no idea what words to use to describe their current feelings!
Was this the legendary ability user?
But, the ability users they'd heard of were far less powerful, constructing a wall enclosing the entire villa area single-handedly.
Such a feat was nothing short of a miracle.
No, a divine miracle!
The survivors went wild, witnessing a miracle!
More so, they felt joy in knowing their Sanctuary was no longer unsafe with such a wall!
Suddenly, loud roars echoed from afar, one after another.
These were demonized beasts from afar, drawn by the commotion of the wall rising, rushing this way.
Among them, a blue and red figure was exceptionally fast, leading the charge.
It raced up the hillside and in the blink of an eye, was near the villa area's entrance!
Survivors' faces changed color.
The terror of demonized beasts was a nightmare for ordinary people, making their faces turn pale instantly.
Xiaopeng looked around, discovering he was the only Awakener among them.
If he didn't step forward now, who could?
So what if it was just a demonized wolf?
Last time, he faced one, though the result was best not mentioned. But now... he would make this demonized wolf see what it truly meant to be a natural Awakener!
Xiaopeng rolled up his sleeves and took a big step forward.
The demonized wolf was getting closer!
Its blue fur was clear, with red flames burning on it.
This demonized beast was larger in size, far exceeding a typical demonized wolf, resembling a small container truck.
Xiaopeng froze. This demonized beast felt, seemed... different than the one he'd encountered before?
He glanced at himself again.
Small arms and legs, without a real weapon, was he really going to rely on his fists?
The red and blue giant wolf advanced closer, an aura of terror like a tide surged forward.
At that moment, he had the urge to cry, "Brother Wolf, don't be so aggressive, okay?"
Xiaopeng wanted to run, but looking at the survivors behind him, among them were familiar classmates...
He gritted his teeth and held firm; even if he couldn't confront the blue-red giant wolf, couldn't he at least stall it?
As long as he could stall the blue-red giant wolf for a while, waiting for the expert support from the Sanctuary, then he would also be a man who had contended with a terrifying demonized beast, worthy of the title of natural Awakener!
With such thoughts, Xiaopeng took a step forward.
Let me be the one to stall...
"It's Captain Luo Zhe!"
Suddenly, cries of excitement from the survivors erupted behind him.
Following the sound, Xiaopeng saw a sturdy man clad in armor, wielding a heavy sword, striding from not far away.
Xiaopeng had a deep impression of this man, having seen him when he first arrived at the Sanctuary. It was said he was the captain of the Sanctuary's Patrol Team, with considerable strength.
Xiaopeng could feel the aura from Luo Zhe, indeed a master he couldn't rival, but... he looked at the blue-red giant wolf, like a small container truck, and couldn't help but feel that even a burly man like Captain Luo would seem small in front of such a beast.
Could he really handle it...
Luo Zhe stepped forward, facing the increasingly approaching, towering demonized beast, his expression unchanged.
He suddenly stepped forward, the stone slabs of the small square immediately cracking into spider-linelines from the pressure.
The next moment, Luo Zhe shot forward like a cannonball, the heavy armor on him as if it weighed nothing.
Fifty meters...
Twenty meters...
Ten meters...
The survivors behind held their breath, with the brave ones focusing intently on the battlefield, while the timid ones had long closed their eyes.
The giant wolf approached, its sharp claws larger than a human's whole body, burning with flames that left charred paths in their wake.
Luo Zhe's gaze sharpened, both hands gripping the sword.
"Die—"
A layer of red light enveloped the heavy sword, like a dense aura that couldn't be dispelled!
Combat Skill: Blood Slash!
The red light swept across the blue-red giant wolf's claws and then its waist and abdomen, Luo Zhe's figure already appearing on the other side of the beast.
A whimper followed, the giant wolf collapsed heavily, struggling for a moment before finally succumbing.
Having dealt with the blue-red giant wolf, Luo Zhe's expression remained unchanged as he steadily advanced.
The remaining demonized beasts drawn by the great commotion were not as strong as the blue-red giant wolf. Even grouped together, they posed no threat to Luo Zhe, quickly being slain one by one, leaving only the carcasses of the demonized beasts, a testament to the rather fierce battle that had transpired here.
Xiaopeng: "..."
Was it over just like that?
A powerful, incredibly so, even the strongest demonized beast he'd ever encountered, was killed with a single blow?
Was the gap between Awakeners supposed to be this vast, how could he, a natural Awakener, face such disparity?
Watching Luo Zhe's fierce departing figure, Xiaopeng felt a burning fervor in his heart.
It was then he remembered the mysterious Director Tang of the Sanctuary.
Initially, when he'd heard Director Tang wanted to rebuild the Sanctuary on this ruin, he thought it was pure fantasy.
But now, with this wall, and men like Captain Luo...
The Green Shadow Sanctuary was far more powerful than he'd imagined.
