The protective barrier was magical. People inside could attack the enemies outside, but the enemies outside could not penetrate the barrier. To the enemies outside, other than breaking the protective barrier with a powerful force, all they could do was launch sustained attacks to deplete the energy of the barrier.

Without anything holding them back, the Evil Eyes and spider army retaliated with full force. As they had a higher range, the Evil Eyes were mainly responsible for attacking the Giant Crab Spiders that were a dozen steps away, their concentrated beams of light never stopping. The spider army was responsible for attacking the Giant Crab Spiders within ten steps from them. Even though their poison was not as terrifying as that of their opponents, they managed to clear large areas of their enemies with their numbers alone.

After their poison was blocked by the protective barrier, all the Giant Crab Spiders could do was dig into the ground and attack using their Earth Spikes. But since the effective range of the Earth Spikes was about the same as the Evil Eyes’, there was no way for them to attack Yang Ling’s army. They had just crawled out of the ground and were prepared to shift a few steps forward when they were quickly picked off by the Evil Eyes.

Against the fierce attacks of the Evil Eyes and spider army, the Giant Crab Spiders suffered heavy casualties. Soon, their bodies covered the ground, blood flowing like a river. But for some reason, perhaps it due to their bestial qualities, they continued charging toward Yang Ling like moths to a flame, unafraid of death.

“Sir, the protective barrier will not last much longer. What are we going to do?”

Seeing the protective barrier about to shatter, while there seemed to be no end to the hordes of Giant Crab Spiders, the Gnome Elder became pale in anxiety. Faced with the near-endless Giant Crab Spiders, faced with their terrifying Earth Spikes and poison, the outcome would be disastrous if they did not have the defensive barrier.

The number of Giant Crab Spiders was much greater than the group had expected! Could it be that they had been unlucky enough to stumble into a giant spider nest?

Clenching his teeth, Yang Ling tossed out a Wizard Amulet and blasted a Giant Crab Spider away. “Is there a way to sustain the protective barrier? Quick, tell me!”

“Magical Energy, we need a large amount of Magical Energy!” The Gnome Elder had a glint in his eyes and continued, “We can sustain the protective barrier as long as we can inject it with a large amount of Magical Energy!”

A large amount of Magical Energy?

Seeing the Gnome Spellcasters who had no Magical Energy within them and could only cast spells using spell formations, Yang Ling shook his head in frustration. There were many people in his army, but they did not have any Spellcasters. If Goode was present, he could use his abilities as a Great Spellcaster to provide them with a glimmer of hope, but unfortunately…

Chitter…

Despite the heavy casualties, the Giant Crab Spiders continued to attack using their massive numbers, enormously depleting the energy of the protective barrier. The protective barrier became thinner and thinner, and seemed about to crumble under the blanketing poison. Drops of the terrifying poison even began to leak from some parts of the barrier.

The turtle shell-like protective barrier was about to crumble!

“Sir, charge out quickly! The Ogres will open a path, and I’ll cover your back with the barbarians!” Seeing the situation become more and more dire, Argus asked for permission, prepared to go all out.

Should we flee?

Seeing the shivering Gnomes, then looking at the endless horde of Giant Crab Spiders around them, Yang Ling shook his head in frustration. At this point in time, he finally understood why even powerful fighters like Swords Saints and Magical Tutors would die here.

To a Sword Saint or a Magical Tutor, a single Giant Crab Spider was insignificant. They could finish it off with one move. But it would be completely different if they were surrounded by a thousand, ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand Giant Crab Spiders.

If there were enough ants, even an elephant could be eaten alive!

If Magical Beast Essence Crystals can be used to set up Wizard Formations just like other crystals, then can Wizard Power be converted into the so called Magical Energy?

Seeing the limbs of the Giant Crab Spiders fly off under the intense counterattacks of the Evil Eyes, with peanut-sized Essence Crystals even dropping out, Yang Ling suddenly came up with an idea.

Seeing the fearful elf archers and warriors beside him, then looking at the manic Giant Crab Spiders, he decided to make a last attempt and injected the Wizard Power in his body into the protective barrier.

The protective barrier shuddered slightly when it touched Yang Ling’s Wizard Power, releasing a faint red glow. It even seemed to let out a quiet hum.

Seeing that there was some effect, Yang Ling hesitated no longer and manically infused the Wizard Power in his body into the protective barrier. In that moment, the protective barrier shone with a red light, trembling as it released a blood red radiance, defending against the attacks of the Giant Crab Spiders.

Seeing Yang Ling display his abilities and support the entire protective barrier all by himself, the Evil Eye Tyrant and Tarantula King had a boost in morale, each of them instructing their armies to retaliate with all their might. The Evil Eye Tyrant released continuous exploding bombs, focusing its attacks on the leaders of the Giant Crab Spiders, dissolving their attacking power and morale.

Roar!

After letting out a strange cry, the Giant Spiders advanced instead of retreating, charging toward them, unafraid of death. It looked like they were prepared to exhaust all of the Wizard Power in Yang Ling’s body.

This is a battle of willpower!

Yang Ling did not hold back, continuously infusing his Wizard Power into the protective barrier, occasionally taking out Magical Beast Blood Orbs to replenish his expended Wizard Power. But despite that, the amount he replenished could not compare to the Wizard Power he was expending.

What do I do? Am I about to be exhausted to death?

Seeing the countless Giant Crab Spiders swarming toward him, endless, Yang Ling creased his brows as he understood that he could not continue doing this. There were not many Magical Beast Blood Orbs left in his Space Ring. He could not last much longer.

Wait… Magical Beast Blood Essence?

Thinking about the few Magical Beast Blood Orbs he had left, then looking at the fresh blood of the Giant Crab Spiders flowing continuously toward him, Yang Ling came up with a crazy idea.

Without hesitation, he multitasked. He infused what was left of his Wizard Power into the protective barrier as he used his Wizard Techniques to concentrate the fresh blood of the Giant Crab Spiders flowing toward him into orbs of blood before devouring them to replenish the Wizard Power he expended.

The Gnome Elder, Argus, and the rest quickly understood Yang Ling’s intentions, and they worked together to dig small tunnels and direct the blood of the Giant Crab Spiders to Yang Ling’s side.

Streaks of blood vapors were produced as the Magical Beast Blood Orbs concentrated. Soon, a thick fog of blood had gathered around Yang Ling, covering his entire body.

Just like that, Yang Ling had managed to sustain the massive magical protective barrier by himself. Under the protection of the defensive barrier, the Evil Eyes, spiders, and elf archers retaliated with all their effort, killing the Giant Crab Spiders swarming toward them. The Giant Crab Spiders who were unafraid of death continued pouncing forward like moths to a flame, before getting killed and indirectly supplying Yang Ling with medicine to nourish himself.

Slowly, after realizing that the Giant Crab Spiders could not succeed in their attack, Yang Ling decided to train where he stood and search for the secrets behind the protective barrier.

He injected a shred of Wizard Power, then injected a shred of green life force…

Emptying his mind, he soon began to understand the secrets of the protective barrier. Slowly, Yang Ling became more efficient, expending less Wizard Power and life force while making the protective barrier more powerful. It turned from the original red color to a combination of red and green light. The poison of the Giant Crab Spiders no longer had that great of an effect.

Some time later, just as the Evil Eye army was about to expend the last of its Magical Energy and stamina, there were no longer any Giant Crab Spiders swarming out of the distance. Under the combined attacks of the spider army and the elf archers, the number of Giant Crab Spiders surrounding the protective barrier also decreased.

Chitter…

After they had suffered heavy casualties and their corpses had piled up high, the Giant Crab Spiders finally came to their senses. All of them retreated under the orders of a calf-sized Giant Crab Spider.

The Giant Crab Spiders retreated like the tide, but it was too late!

Knowing that the enemy had lost the will to fight, Yang Ling ordered the army to attack quickly. The Horned Bee Beasts and Gargoyles who had been held back charged forward like lightning. The violent Ogres and barbarians were unwilling to lose out, and even the naturally cowardly Gnomes charged forward, screaming.

Unleashing their bestial qualities, the Horned Bee Beasts flew low, angrily shooting out their fatal poisonous stingers, attacking the fleeing Giant Crab Spiders. The Gargoyles were even crueler, charging down from the sky and grabbing the Giant Crab Spiders up before tearing them in two, raining their blood down from the sky.

With the Horned Bee Beasts and Gargoyles blocking their path, the rest of the Giant Crab Spiders turned around and tried to escape in all directions. Unfortunately, the Magical Beast army was already enraged, and they weren’t about to let the spiders off.

With no way to escape, some of the Giant Crab Spiders were crushed to a pulp by the bloodthirsty Ogres, some were shot to the ground by the elf archers’ arrows, and some were smashed to a paste by the ten-meter-tall Withered Tree Warriors…

In just an hour, the Taildon Valley became covered with the corpses of the Giant Crab Spiders and their blood. According to a preliminary count, at least fifty thousand Giant Crab Spiders had died by the hands of the army.

Fifty thousand Giant Crab Spiders. They had probably cleaned up most of the Giant Crab Spiders in this valley. Even if there were any survivors, they would no longer be able to create any trouble in the future.

After the battle and a serious count, Yang Ling had lost a total of eighty Ogres, twenty barbarians, and fifty spiders. Even though this loss was unprecedented, it was insignificant compared to the countless number lost by the Giant Crab Spiders.

Other than those who had lost their lives, there were also a large number of warriors and Magical Beasts that were injured. But most of them survived after some emergency treatment. As long as the Magical Beasts could still breathe, they would slowly recover when recalled into the Wizard’s Pagoda.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Yang Ling sat cross-legged, protected by a team of Horned Bee Beasts. He observed closely the changes in the spiders’ bodies as they devoured the Essence Crystals of the Giant Crab Spiders scattered on the ground.

The Essence Crystals of the Giant Crab Spiders were not large and might not sell for too much outside, but to the spider army, they were rich and precious nourishment. In their excitement, the tarantulas even tore the corpses of the Giant Crab Spiders into shreds and swallowed their Essence Crystals together with the flesh. Even the Tarantula King was no exception.

After consuming a massive amount of Magical Beast Blood Orbs, Yang Ling noticed that the Wizard Power in his body had become more massive. The power of the Wizard Amulet he activated was now much stronger than before. He had only been able to command the Horned Bee Beasts within a five-hundred-meter radius when he first stepped into the valley, but now he could easily increase the distance to a thousand meters. It seemed as though his abilities had doubled.

Perhaps he would be able to arrive at the level of Earth Wizard and concentrate his Wizard Core with just a little more effort?

Yang Ling was very excited when he examined his body. According to the explanation of the stele, one would be able to truly grasp the essence of Wizard Techniques when they concentrated the Wizard Core and slowly start to wield stranger, more mysterious Wizard powers.
