Furthermore, activating it like I did just now might be somewhat difficult.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Huai nodded weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subtext was also very clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doing what he had done earlier—standing in front of them to activate it and acting as their human shield—was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this, Li Wufeng didn't say much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, everyone was struggling to survive in this different world. There was no need for anyone to sacrifice their life for someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That didn't conform to the most fundamental logic of biological survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly how far is your cast range?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One meter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, then when the time comes, just activate it from inside the shield formation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having learned the cast range, Li Wufeng found it easier to calculate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doulai, take this and head back for a bit. Tell everyone to come, and also have Shang Chuan find some more shields. If there are no shields, steel plates will do; bring them all over. The rest of you, rest up where you are. Eat and drink something to recover your strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having formed a plan, Li Wufeng pulled out the spine and handed it to Zhao Doulai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing his instructions, Zhao Doulai nodded and immediately turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magic desk could only be used by the owner of the shelter. However, back when the two of them had discussed merging, Zhao Doulai had moved both his magic desk and his magic carriage lantern into Li Wufeng's shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, unlike those who fled to other people's shelters, he hadn't lost his 'right to communicate'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The round trip, combined with contacting Shang Chuan midway and appraising the spine, took Zhao Doulai a full two and a half hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time everyone arrived carrying shields on their backs, Li Huai, who had been nursing his injuries, had also recovered quite a bit of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, he had recovered to the point where he could stand up without needing anyone's support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhao Doulai returned, Li Wufeng immediately inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The appraisal results are out. This mountain hedgehog is called a 'Mountain-Eating Beast'. It's an earth-attribute D-rank monster that gains energy to split and reproduce by devouring mountains. It isn't very aggressive, and killing it will yield rare ores. It's just that the rare ores are highly randomized, so we don't know exactly what they are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not very aggressive...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the results of Zhao Doulai's appraisal, the corners of both Li Wufeng and the injured Li Huai's mouths violently twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So in the eyes of the magic desk, this D-rank crystal beast was considered a harmless entity to humans and animals alike?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Li Wufeng was very intrigued by the fact that killing it would yield rare ores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there was a ten percent profit share riding on this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, he immediately began deployment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the shields were gathered fifty meters away from the Mountain-Eating Beast, stacked to a full half-meter in thickness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front was Li Huai's wind wall; hiding behind the shields were Li Huai and Li Wufeng; and the rest of the group sought cover at the corner of the fork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the opponent's attacks were swift and heavy, they couldn't turn corners, so there was no need for too many people to be in the line of fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wufeng, let me do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Li Wufeng intended to stay behind the shields to operate them, Zhao Doulai stepped forward and patted his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm a sports student, after all. It'd be much more convenient for me than for an arts student like you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wufeng took a look at Zhao Doulai and agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, sports students did possess an advantage over arts students in this regard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The crux of the issue is, who is going to attack?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Li Wufeng had arranged everything, Li Huai looked at him in confusion. In his current state, defending with all his might was already his limit; he simply couldn't launch an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine. Leave the attacking to Otto.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wufeng smiled confidently, then pushed someone forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person had a scrawny build and was holding a crossbow in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right, this was precisely the backup plan Li Wufeng had arranged beforehand. However, judging from Li Huai's previous performance, he genuinely hadn't intended to do anything to them, so Otto had been called off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also one of the reasons why Li Wufeng had told Zhao Doulai to go back and bring everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, Otto—his backup card—wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb when mixed into the crowd, nor would Li Huai realize that he had been plotting against him earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a joyous situation this was, with everyone happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, since it was just a cooperative relationship, keeping a trump card hidden from one another was completely justified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, then it seems his talent is quite good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, after casting an odd glance at Otto, Li Huai inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's decent enough, provided it's just attacking a large target like the Mountain-Eating Beast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wufeng naturally had no intention of disclosing Otto's talent. In fact, he was the only one in the entire team who knew what Otto's talent was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Shang Chuan didn't know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps it was more accurate to say that Shang Chuan had no interest in inquiring about his subordinates' talents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, what he needed was for the gathering teams to meet the KPIs he set. As for what their talents were, that wasn't important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Li Wufeng had said as much, Li Huai naturally wouldn't pry any further. Right now, he only needed to focus on maintaining his wind wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, he had suffered a great loss because he hadn't known the Mountain-Eating Beast's specific attack methods and combat prowess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, coming prepared was a different story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swore he would finish showing off the grandstanding he had failed to complete earlier and salvage a bit of his dignity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, thinking back on how he had bravely stood at the forefront to face the enemy single-handedly previously made him wince a bit in embarrassment even now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only way to wipe away this awkwardness was to put on a better performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better than losing sleep over it after returning to the shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everything was ready, Otto stood behind the two, took a step to the left, and raised his crossbow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loaded onto the crossbow was shockingly the Mountain-Eating Beast's very own spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, for something so tough and razor-sharp, it would be an absolute waste not to use it as a crossbow bolt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Huai, the moment Otto fires the bolt later, immediately activate the wind wall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reiterating his instructions, Li Wufeng swiftly took cover around the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that said, Li Huai channeled his wind element and nodded at Otto beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving the signal, the silent Otto activated his talent, firing the spine at the Mountain-Eating Beast, then swiftly took a step to the right to hide within the shield formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the very instant the bolt was fired, Li Huai erected a wind wall large enough to completely seal off the entire cave.\u003C\u002Fp>",1342,"2026-06-05T21:58:31.955Z",1,"novelbin.me","09cf4024d19610716ead8c0b2c596916c837d37ffb72202a47d7d5cb76d2edd3","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-86","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-84",965,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-cover.jpg"]
