"What?"
Chen Chong's body froze in shock, feeling the air in the entire area twist and heat up.
He quickly increased his speed, disbelievingly saying, "The Fear Demonss are all dead, so what are we blocking?"
Cheng Shi shouted an explanation:
"Perhaps Hope Continent doesn't know the Demon Army is dead.
I was wondering why we encountered the enemy so quickly in this Trial.
This is when the real song of blood and fire should be!
Survive for 24 hours amidst the Demon Army's advance and the Meteor Fire Rain!
We encountered the Fear Demonss early, leading us to a misunderstanding of the Trial!"
Cao San Sui looked shocked and disbelievingly said, "How is that possible..."
Then he thought of something and became even more shocked:
"You mean, the Skeleton Army learned of Hope Continent's blocking plan, so they deployed early to avoid the attack?"
"Yes!"
Cheng Shi said, grinding his teeth in hatred, "And we just happened to run into them!
The destruction of Hope Continent might not have been a defeat in War; there was an internal problem!"
"Damn it, stop talking, heal me, my mental power is insufficient!"
Cheng Shi quickly stopped talking and casually slapped a fierce healing spell onto Chen Chong's stomach.
As for why it was his stomach, don't ask; if you ask, it was just conveniently located, definitely not some twisted sense of humor.
At the brink of life and death, any twisted sense of humor had to be put aside.
This Time, he wasn't so lucky; it hit the mark.
Chen Chong's stomach slightly bulged, but fortunately, his speed increased by another third.
"No Time left, the Meteor Fire Rain's range is too large.
Chen Chong, how many hits can the Holy Light Great Wall withstand?"
Chen Chong blurted out, "Three hits.
I lack the A-Level defense talent; the fourth hit will definitely break it!"
Cheng Shi frowned and calculated carefully.
Cao San Sui immediately shouted from the side, "That's enough!
Based on the meteor's descent speed, it's not too fast initially, enough to last until I activate the [Time Battlefield]!"
Time Battlefield!?
Oh right! I forgot about that!
Cheng Shi's face showed a look of realization and exaggerated joy.
It seems that next, they needed to find a real way out within the Time loop.
"Everyone! Come to me!"
Chen Chong shouted loudly, dropped the two people in his hands, pulled out his large shield, his hands bulging with veins, and forcefully thrust the shield's tip into the mud.
Looking up at the meteors falling like rain from the sky, he shouted loudly:
"Order Endures!"
The radiance of [Order] erupted again, transforming into a city wall that enveloped the six people.
Outside the bright yellow light screen, the air temperature grew higher and higher, the space twisted due to the intense heat, and the ground cracked from the scorching.
They looked up, seeing the giant sun's flames blazing high, meteors whistling down, their scorched trails like carving knives, slicing through the sky like thin paper, a sight as shocking as seeing the end of the world.
If they weren't under the meteors but outside the strike range, this might have been an unforgettable beautiful scene.
"Chen Chong, hold on! 1 minute and 12 seconds left!"
Chen Chong held the shield tightly, gritting his teeth and shouting, "Be careful, it's coming!"
As soon as he finished speaking!
"Boom--"
Everyone felt their vision go dark as a large meteor fireball exploded on the light screen.
Immediately following was a surge of intense light into their eyes, the exploding flames covering the sky and earth like splashing lava, instantly engulfing the Holy Light Great Wall.
Even the light screen that had withstood countless Fear Demons invasions was now violently shaking from the force of the impact.
Chen Chong trembled all over, his skin starting to turn red.
It was too hot!
"Priests, heal!"
Nangong said nothing and began casting small healing spells and cooling spells.
Cao San Sui held a pocket watch in his hand, his face anxious and impatient.
"Hold on! 48 seconds!"
"Here it comes again! Two of them! Be careful to dispel the high temperature!"
"Boom--"
"Boom--"
This Time, the two came one after another.
Fortunately, one of them didn't directly hit the Holy Light Great Wall but landed next to the light screen.
However, the splashing flames still made the light screen teetering.
"No, I can't hold on.
There's still one above!
Cheng Shi, think of something!"
Cheng Shi's face sank, and just as he was about to act, he saw Song Yawen quickly take out a piece of pure black cloth from his spatial storage.
"This is...?"
Nangong was slightly surprised.
Song Yawen's face showed a fleeting look of pain, but he still said firmly, "This Time, I'll do it!"
Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow, recognizing the item.
An Assassin's A-Level professional item, Gate of the Myriad Realms' Shadow.
This was no ordinary item; it could only be obtained from ladder rewards above the 1600 point tier, and the drop rate was extremely low.
Its function, once expanded, could throw any item into the shadow dimension, regardless of size, location, Time, or control.
Moreover, it was a one-Time use item, quite valuable.
This was originally the most suitable item for Assassins to perform shadow traversal.
Now that Song Yawen was willing to take it out, it was clear he was desperate.
"Not bad, Comrade Song.
It's not easy to get this thing at 1636."
Song Yawen smiled proudly, thinking, "Finally, I get to show off once."
"I stole it."
After speaking, he leaped high, his limbs clinging to the inside of the light screen like a spider hanging upside down.
He silently counted the Time, and before the fourth meteor landed, he agilely threw out the "Gate of the Myriad Realms' Shadow."
This operation was very detailed.
Because the Holy Light City Wall blocked everything, he needed to risk his life to pass through the shadow obscured by thick smoke, traverse outside the light screen, expand the black cloth, open the shadow gate, and then instantly traverse back.
If there was even a millisecond of error in any step, he could be melted outside on the spot.
Fortunately, Song Yawen was a qualified Assassin.
In the blink of an eye, he had completed everything, sending the meteor that was about to break through the light screen into the shadow dimension.
And the "Gate of the Myriad Realms' Shadow" also dissipated with it.
But being qualified was just qualified; he was still more than half away from a perfect score.
"Quick! Healer, save me, my butt is on fire!!!"
Song Yawen wailed, lying on the ground, his entire back, buttocks, and thighs burned away a layer.
He constantly scooted towards the healer with his two halves of red-hot buttocks, eager to receive treatment.
But even injured like this, he was still facing Nangong, not Cheng Shi.
Nangong raised her hand in a daze and cast a healing spell on his butt.
Cheng Shi's smile disappeared, feeling very embarrassed.
What, my healing isn't good to eat?
"Be careful! There's still more above, Mage, how much longer!"
The Holy Light City Wall had only been up for less than a minute, and the entire plain area had already turned into a sea of fire.
The sound of explosions and vibrations was incessant, and the surrounding temperature was getting higher and higher.
Seeing the terrifying meteors one after another, Chen Chong truly couldn't hold on this Time.
"10 seconds!
Everyone, prepare!
1 o'clock direction, the meteor landing amount is small.
Once the Time is up, begin the breakthrough!"
"Don't disperse too much, otherwise, we won't be able to confirm casualties and end the Time Battlefield.
I'll say it again, don't disperse too much!"
"I hope every single one of us can survive!"
Cao San Sui held the pocket watch in one hand, slightly sweating, and raised the other hand high, ready to start the Time Battlefield at any moment.
This would be their only way to escape, provided they didn't loop too many Times.
"3!"
"2! Everyone! Prepare!"
"1! Run!"
Chen Chong immediately withdrew the Holy Light City Wall, putting his shield and sword back into his spatial storage in the blink of an eye.
He roared and rushed towards the 1 o'clock direction like a madman, pulling Nangong and Cao San Sui with him.
Xia Wan followed closely, carrying the weak Cheng Shi on her back.
Needless to say, Song Yawen.
Thick smoke rose everywhere, and although flames filled the sky, he could traverse anywhere.
He had disappeared early and run ahead of everyone.
However, good luck doesn't always last.
Although they saw fewer meteors in the 1 o'clock direction from inside the light screen, when they truly rushed out a certain distance, they realized that with the dense meteors above their heads, there was no way to dodge at all.
A huge fireball smashed down in front of Chen Chong.
He braked sharply and stopped, pulled out his shield and sword, which transformed into a greatsword, and swung it out with divine power.
The meteor exploded in response, but before he could move forward again, another one smashed down above their heads.
"Damn!"
Cao San Sui's face changed dramatically.
He accurately counted the seconds and shouted, "Time, Rewind!"
The entire world suddenly froze, and then rapidly rewound like a movie on reverse.
Flames retracted, meteors rose, figures retreated, and the light screen reappeared.
Everything returned to the moment the Time Battlefield began.
"1! Run!"
The moment the light screen shattered, everyone put all their strength into running, their target the 1 o'clock direction.
Only Cao San Sui, gasping for air in Chen Chong's hands, was frantically shouting:
"Chen Chong! Xia Wan! Change, 3 o'clock direction! Quick!"
Followers of [Time] were unaffected by the Time Battlefield's rewind and retained their memory.
Now, Cao San Sui was their eyes.
The two listened without hesitation and immediately changed direction.
Cheng Shi hugged Xia Wan's neck, continuously casting healing spells on her, frowning in thought:
"It's the second Time."
Thinking this, he reached into his arms and flipped the dice.
2 points facing up.
