Chapter 429 – Metal Storm

“Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!” An ear-piercing sound came out. It was the sound of a strong wind and metal shaving against the ice house.

Dong Qianqiu said anxiously, “The ice house is being destroyed very quickly, the friction is too strong.”

The moment she said that, everyone’s expressions changed. The metal storm outside was different from a simple snowstorm. Once they were swept up, they might be torn apart by the metal storm!

Lan Xuanyu took out the Spirit Shield without hesitation and pinched it. The Spirit Shield emitted a soft red halo and was released immediately under Lan Xuanyu’s control.

Just as the Spirit Shield was erected, the ice house cracked. In just a few seconds, the entire ice house was completely torn apart.

The ice house shattered and they could clearly see the scene outside.

It was a terrifying scene that would only appear in a post-apocalyptic world! The surroundings were pitch-black, and countless metal fragments were swept up as if they were in hell by the violent wind. Amidst the raging wind, the sky and earth had changed color.

Ear-piercing friction sounds kept coming from the Spirit Shield. The faint red color of the shield had already turned into a bright red color, and the metal ball suspended in the air began to flicker.

“Oh my god!” Qian Lei exclaimed.

If Lan Xuanyu hadn’t prepared the Spirit Shield beforehand, they would probably be in a life-and-death situation right now. How long could they last in this violent metal storm?

Everyone, get ready to defend. Lan Xuanyu extended both hands as strands of Blue Silver Grass swarmed out and surrounded everyone.

“Huihui, prepare another Spirit Shield. Yuge, can you feel how long this storm will last?” Lan Xuanyu asked Tang Yuge.

Tang Yuge shook her head. “It’s too vast, I can’t.”

Lan Xuanyu raised his brows. “Then can you tell if this is Metal Spirits initiating an attack on us or it is just a natural storm? Does it have the Metal Spirits’ aura?”

Previously, the Earth Spirits had transformed into stone men and attacked them. If this was the Metal Spirits going berserk and not a power of nature, it would be even more troublesome.

“It’s them. Not the power of nature,” Tang Yuge said without hesitation.

Lan Xuanyu made a prompt decision. “Senior, let’s begin. The mine here might not be rich, but we have no other choice. Safety first.”

Tang Yuge nodded. “Alright. Hang in there, I’ll open it immediately.” As she spoke, her body flickered with light as soul rings rose from beneath her feet. Her sixth soul ring that she had just obtained was even brighter.

Tang Yuge, sixth soul skill!

A layer of earthen yellow light spread beneath her feet and in the next moment, her entire body actually started sinking to the ground.

Right at this moment, an ear-piercing hum came from the metal ball that was suspended in the air.

“Huihui!”

Yuanen Huihui immediately threw out another metal ball and lit up the second Spirit Shield.

“Bang!” The first Spirit shield exploded. In front of such a terrifying storm, all of them seemed so small and their faces turned slightly pale.

At this moment, Tang Yuge’s body had completely sunk into the ground.

Her sixth soul skill, the Five Elements Escape Technique! There was no doubt that the appearance of this Five Elements Escape Technique had allowed Tang Yuge’s overall strength to increase by another qualitative leap. Previously, she and Lan Xuanyu had discussed that after entering this dangerous area and finding the mineral deposits, she would use the Five-Element Escape Technique to enter the ground and open up a space underground.

No matter how strong the storm above the ground was, it wouldn’t affect the underground and thus give them a chance to mine.

They didn’t expect that the metal elements here would be so violent. Those Metal Spirits were controlling the metal elements and wanted to kill them directly. Hence, they didn’t have time to look for better mineral deposits. The most important thing now was to ensure their safety.

“Everyone, listen to me. Yuge is opening up a living space for us underground. Wait a moment, the girls will go down first, then the weaker ones. Those with strong defense will stay up there. Those who go down first will pull my Blue Silver Grass. If the people up there are being swept up, pull us down.”

“What’s wrong with girls? Don’t discriminate against us girls. We can do it too,” Lan Mengqin said in annoyance.

Lan Xuanyu suddenly became very solemn. “This is an order, execute it.”

Seeing Lan Xuanyu’s grave look, Lan Mengqin didn’t dare to look him in the eye anymore and only nudged Dong Qianqiu. She pouted but didn’t say anything else.

The Spirit Shield began to tremble once again as a glaring red light flickered continuously. This shield was a one-time use for mechas and was used to block a strong attack. It was not very sustainable. More importantly, the destructive power of this metal storm was truly shocking.

The price of a Spirit Shield was not cheap. Lan Xuanyu and his team had bought a total of three and the second one was about to collapse.

“Yuge, how is it?” Lan Xuanyu asked anxiously.

“We can begin. I will do my best.” Tang Yuge’s short voice came through.

Lan Xuanyu said in a low voice, “Mengqin, get off. Once you’re down, let us know if there’s space to accommodate one person.”

“En.” This time, Lan Mengqin didn’t say anything else. In an emergency, she understood how important it was to obey Lan Xuanyu’s arrangements. She leaped and jumped down the hole left by Tang Yuge.

Right at this moment, the Spirit Shield couldn’t take it anymore.

“Huihui, prepare the third one. Everyone, get ready to defend. Then, take off your clothes, including your uniforms and helmets. We will be able to survive for a period of time without oxygen, but we won’t be able to sustain for a long time. If all our uniforms and helmets are destroyed, we will really be doomed. Put the helmets and uniforms down first and send them back after we enter the cave. The uniforms will maintain an oxygen supply and ensure that there is oxygen in the cave.”

“It’s time for the next person,” Lan Mengqin said.

Lan Xuanyu said, “Qianqiu, go down. Stay in your uniform.”

Dong Qianqiu jumped down without hesitation. The moment she did so, she instinctively looked at Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu nodded at her.

“Bang!” The second Spirit Shield exploded, and the third one was raised to block the metal storm.

Everyone quickly took off their uniforms and helmets and sent them into the underground cave. They were all soul masters and their soul power automatically circulated within their bodies, allowing them to survive in an environment without oxygen for a short period of time. Lan Xuanyu was right, they had to protect their uniforms at this time and must not be damaged. Although their uniforms had some defensive capabilities, its defensive capabilities were definitely insufficient to withstand this metal storm.

After taking off his uniform, Lan Xuanyu’s eyes congealed as a layer of faint golden scales appeared on his body.

“Lin Donghui, get ready,” Lan Xuanyu ordered.

Lin Donghui nodded his head. At this moment, everyone was truly facing a life and death crisis. Once the last Spirit Shield shattered, they would have to face the danger of being swept into the metal storm. Without really going into contact, they had no idea how terrifying the metal storm could be. Whoever went down first would be safe.

Lan Xuanyu didn’t let Lin Donghui go last just because he wasn’t a member of his team. Instead, he arranged everything logically. When Lin Donghui heard him call out his name, it would be a lie to say that he wasn’t moved. Lin Donghui clenched his fist.

“Done.” A voice came from below.

Lin Donghui did not dare to delay and leaped down.

Lan Xuanyu looked at Yuanen Huihui, but Yuanen Huihui pulled Liu Feng over. “Frenzie’s cultivation is much weaker than mine. My soul power is strong and so is my ability to survive. Let him go first.”

Liu Feng wanted to say something but Lan Xuanyu nodded.

The red light from the Spirit Shield flickered and shone on everyone’s faces. Just at this moment, Bing Tianliang suddenly said, “Lan Xuanyu, I’m convinced now. In the future, I will recognize you as our class leader.”
