Chapter 526 Spherical Barrier
With Leng Yuexiu's strength, he was fully capable of protecting himself from the power of a first-order crystal energy body explosion at close range.
All she needed to do was stabilize the support barrier at the bottom of the pit and relay instructions to her teammates.
Having realized this, Bai Mengyan's fingertips quickly produced silvery spatial dust.
Those structures, created out of thin air, were affected by the power of the first-order crystal energy explosion. They trembled and were on the verge of collapse at any moment. With the energy injection from the space-type ability, they gradually stabilized and became solid again.
Having resolved Leng Yuexiu's predicament, Bai Mengyan turned to look at her teammates and noticed that Black Hawk and Yan Lina on the outermost edge, along with everyone else, had all looked over the moment they heard the explosion of the first-tier crystal energy body, and their formation was also shrinking towards the pit.
Bai Mengyan glanced at the state of the tree canopy above, her eyes narrowed, and a layer of extremely faint silver light shimmered, gradually revealing an arc-shaped barrier to everyone.
"Everyone, assemble and form a defensive formation!"
At a single command, even teammates who were unclear about the situation all chose to follow orders.
As everyone gathered around Bai Mengyan, a spherical spatial barrier protected them all.
Su Jiancheng looked tense as she gazed at the sand and dust whipped up by the strong wind at the bottom of the pit, and asked urgently, "What happened?"
Bai Mengyan shook her head slightly at Su Jiancheng, her expression serious, and immediately looked at Cheng Kaixi, "Kaixi, cooperate with me to support the defensive barrier."
Cheng Kaixi nodded solemnly and tossed a small ball of light onto the top of the spherical spatial barrier for illumination.
Then his light-based powers began to surge, and a golden light shot out from his palm, striking the light source directly.
Then, golden light began to appear on the spherical barrier wall, which was filled with a pale silver glow.
With Cheng Kaixi's indestructible light shield attribute, the spherical spatial barrier became even more solid and difficult to destroy.
The sphere can withstand the strongest pressure and stress, and its shape is far superior to other shapes.
Bai Mengyan announced loudly to everyone, "Team Leader Leng has instructed us to remain in place, only defending and not attacking, until he obtains the Tree Crystal and breaks the deadlock to leave."
"Therefore, those who are not on defensive missions should recover their strength and adjust their abilities as soon as possible, as we will need you for the rest of the journey."
"understand!"
"understand!"
Voices of different tones responded almost simultaneously.
At this point, the smoke and dust finally dissipated, revealing the scene beneath the pit.
Leng Yuexiu's body surged with terrifying wind-elemental abilities, gathering the energy of the shattered first-tier crystal energy body in front of him.
After being compressed by the wind turbine, the energy mist was reduced to the size of a palm and was now shimmering with light.
Seeing Leng Yuexiu's expression, Su Jiancheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He whispered to Bai Mengyan, "Little Princess, is Boss going to transfer energy to the tree crystal?"
Bai Mengyan stared at the tree canopy outside the barrier, which was gradually filling the gaps, and nodded, saying, "That's right, he told us to stall for time."
Su Jiancheng understood and decided to stay at this border to guard Leng Yuexiu.
After all, the spatial barrier couldn't encompass the area below the pit, so to insist that these are two separate spaces...
The mutated banyan tree was shaken by the detonated first-order crystal energy body and instinctively tried to protect the tree crystal.
But sensing the surging energy rushing towards him, several tentacle-like branches extended horizontally from the tree trunk and attacked Leng Yuexiu to snatch it.
No matter how many branches there were, they were all shattered and severed by the wind energy barrier that circulated around Leng Yuexiu.
After circulating and replacing his internal energy, Leng Yuexiu finally took action, gradually transferring the first-order crystal energy gathered in his chest to the pulsating tree crystal.
The moment the energy was injected into the tree crystal, the branches and leaves of the mutated banyan tree trembled violently.
Then, as if bathed in a blessing, it stretched out its branches and leaves as much as it could, and in no time, it grew even more lush upwards.
From the outside, this shady path lined with banyan trees looks nothing like it used to be; it has transformed into a large, lush, independent world.
Beneath the tree canopy, Bai Mengyan and Cheng Kaixi, supporting the spherical space, were under immense pressure.
Instructed by the mutated banyan tree, the area surrounding the spherical barrier was filled with dense leaves and branches, and the inner wall of the barrier occasionally showed patterns of attacks by sharp spikes.
As more and more energy was injected into the tree crystal, the deep pit that Bai Mengyan and Zhang Zhiheng had dug together began to be covered by rapidly growing roots.
Su Jiancheng abruptly stopped absorbing the crystal energy to replenish her supernatural power, and a wisp of flame rose from her palm.
He yelled, "Boss!"
Just as the flaming hand was about to press down on the roots, Bai Mengyan used her spatial ability to pull him back by the collar, causing Su Jiancheng's movement to miss.
Bai Mengyan spoke first before Su Jiancheng, "What are you doing! Don't you understand orders?"
Su Jiancheng watched helplessly as the top of the pit was completely covered by roots, and Leng Yuexiu could no longer be seen.
"Are we just going to stand by and watch our boss get buried alive and used as fertilizer?"
Su Jiancheng glared at Bai Mengyan and scolded her angrily.
Bai Mengyan narrowed her eyes, a silver light flashing in them. Su Jiancheng's shoulders were pressed down by a powerful force, forcing him to kneel on the ground.
Bai Mengyan said coldly, "Stay put and do your part. You'll have your chance to contribute later."
Distracted by Su Jiancheng, a wooden spike quickly extended into the spherical spatial barrier.
Bai Mengyan's heart tightened. Just as she was about to release her spatial blade to cut it off, she saw the snow leopard release a breath of ice.
The thrusting spikes slowed their movements, and Black Hawk, receiving a signal from Snow Leopard, immediately severed them with a slashing force imbued with shadow-like properties.
Cheng Kaixi quickly patched the broken section with a spot of light, which burned the part that had disappeared into the barrier to ashes. The remaining power of the spot of light also merged into the inner wall of the barrier, completing the repair of the weak point.
Bai Mengyan breathed a sigh of relief, calmed herself down, closed her eyes, and once again channeled another layer of her special power into the spatial barrier.
After the spherical barrier stabilized, Bai Mengyan opened her eyes and looked down at Su Jiancheng.
"Leng Yuexiu's abilities are sufficient to protect himself, and the space beneath the pit is also supported by my spatial structure, although the space is sealed off by the roots. There's nothing to be alarmed about."
"The change we are seeing now is that the mutated banyan tree is growing wildly with sufficient energy. As long as we do not attack it, it will not consume the original power of the tree crystal to deal with us, so Leng Yuexiu can obtain the second-tier tree crystal sooner."
She scolded him angrily, "You almost ruined the balance here! We're right next to the main trunk. No matter how the canopy grows, this shape is unreasonable. As long as we are stable enough, the leaves and branches gathered here will eventually spread out and continue to expand towards the sky."
"By minimizing all external influences, the Tree Crystal can break through to the second stage as soon as possible. Once we start a war, the longer we delay, the longer Leng Yuexiu will stay down there, which will be even more dangerous. Do you understand?"
