Chapter 184

Tang Ruan flew out.

Boom!

She crashed into the female craftsmen behind her.

"Ugh—ah—"

"Ouch!"

Both of them collapsed, but luckily neither suffered a fatal wound.

Tang Ruan endured the pain, said a quick apology to her, swallowed the medicine, and charged forward again with her shield raised.

Tang Ruan's constitution was 8 points, so her base defense was very high.

Combined with her additional defense enhancements, she could actually take quite a beating now.

Even so, that impact just now still left her feeling chest-tight and short of breath, her arm nearly snapped.

But she knew that if even she felt this way, the others were definitely worse off.

Thinking of this, she charged even more fiercely, using rapid attacks to once again draw the Emperor Shi Laimu's attention.

At this moment, the female militia and female craftsmen had already caught up.

They thrust their spears at the same time, stabbing and slashing desperately.

Streams of transparent slime splattered everywhere.

Every woman was covered in a lot of it, but luckily the slime was harmless.

But after each attack, the Shi Laimu's outer skin would rapidly heal, as if it had barely taken any serious damage.

Whoosh~

Boom!

Tang Ruan flew out again, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Guji, die!"

The Emperor Shi Laimu spoke these words, its body compressing and deforming like a spring.

Whoosh~ whoosh~ whoosh~ whoosh~ whoosh~

Within seconds, the Emperor Shi Laimu's body deformed multiple times, rapidly slamming into the surrounding women.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Although the Emperor Shi Laimu's attacks were monotonous, their force was not small.

The wooden shield had low durability and was almost shattered in one hit.

The iron-plated shield was dented, and the wooden material behind it had already broken into pieces.

"Ah ya!"

"Ugh…"

"Ouch!"

"It hurts!"

The women were sent flying one after another.

They were not Tang Ruan; their constitution was only 6 points, so after falling to the ground, they basically could not stand up again.

They struggled to swallow life pills, recovering their health.

But some had slightly heavier injuries and could no longer take medicine on their own.

Some had even lost consciousness.

"Gu Qing, go provide support!"

Zhao Chi had also charged forward.

Gu Qing looked at Zhao Chi in panic: "My lord, why are you here? Please fall back, you only have 5 points of constitution, you can't take it!"

Zhao Chi said: "It's fine, I won't engage it in close combat. You heal and I inspire—go quickly!"

Gu Qing nodded: "Understood!"

After speaking, Gu Qing withdrew from the battle, her hands glowing.

Light continuously fell down, healing one injured woman after another.

Zhao Chi likewise kept using his skills, forcibly lifting the gradually sinking morale once again.

"Phew~ Thank you, my lord, thank you, Sister Gu."

"Thank you."

"Thank you, Lord, thank you, Sister Gu."

Gu Qing swallowed a pill to recover her spiritual power: "Stop thanking us, get up, keep attacking!"

"Guji, die!"

Boom!

Tang Ruan flew up again.

She scraped across the ground far away, a large patch of her leather armor worn away.

Her arm and cheek were both scraped raw, blood flowing nonstop.

She looked at the half-ruined iron-plated shield in her hand, gritted her teeth, and charged forward again.

"Guji, die!"

"Guji, die!"

"Guji, die!"

Whoosh~ whoosh~ whoosh~ whoosh~ whoosh~

The women flew out one after another, then came back one after another.

The Life Pills were rapidly being consumed.

Zhao Chi and Gu Qing's skills did not pause for a single moment.

The transparent slime was scattered in patches, constantly struck out by the female soldiers and female craftsmen, covering the ground; stepping on it made squelching sounds.

The Emperor Shi Laimu had shrunk a circle.

Suddenly, it was seen trembling all over its body.

Zhao Chi shouted: "Attack with everything you've got! Don't let it split! Gu Qing, get up there! You must interrupt its splitting! Right now it won't counterattack."

Although everyone was very tired, their stamina nearly exhausted.

But Gu Qing and these women all knew that now they had to attack with all their might.

So one by one they swung their arms in wide arcs, hacking and stabbing furiously.

Large amounts of slime splashed, making these women wet and sticky all over, all very uncomfortable.

Soon, the Emperor Shi Laimu's body violently shuddered once and stopped trembling.

It also did not split.

Instead, it returned to its previous state.

This meant its splitting had been successfully interrupted.

But those women were already completely exhausted.

"Everyone rest and attack in shifts, recovering stamina in turn. Tang Ruan, you lead the team to hold on a bit longer, now we can only rely on you."

"Okay!"

Tang Ruan gritted her teeth.

She was also very tired, but since Zhao Chi told her to continue, she obediently continued.

There was even a trace of pride.

Because Zhao Chi had just said that now he had to rely on her.

Tang Ruan felt that she was very important to Zhao Chi, so although tired, she also had the motivation to keep fighting.

Her obedient and hardworking personality once again played its role.

Zhao Chi watched in surprise as her morale actually rose by 10% on its own?

This Tang Ruan is just too useful, isn't she?

Zhao Chi also felt very sorry for her.

Tang Ruan had just been attacked the most times, several times more than the others.

It wasn't because the Emperor Shi Laimu hated her, but because she took the initiative to draw the Emperor Shi Laimu's attention, actively sharing the burden for her teammates.

Zhao Chi knew all of this and saw it all clearly.

Tang Ruan's iron-skin shield had already been destroyed; she was now using that shield of Zhao Chi's.
