83: The Winter Giant's Last Battle
Everyone except me doesn't retain memories; isn't this a good thing?
Can't I do whatever I want as long as I complete this mission?
Tang Gao was initially very pleased with this interference, but after seven or eight Reincarnations, the smile on his face couldn't be maintained.
Tang Gao stood on the roof of a villa in Xu Family Village, looking at the Winter Giant roaring in the distance, clutching his head in frustration: "Grandpa! Why do you always fight so desperately so quickly?"
Because Xu Family Village was affiliated with the army and it was known that the Yao Race harbored hatred for this place, a Xu General, after being seriously injured and retired, refused expensive and ineffective treatment, returning here to recuperate and becoming the village's guardian.
General Xu, once a renowned Fourth-Tier Ice-element General, had a full head of white hair, an aged body, and was heavily wounded.
The doctor warned him that if he didn't use Battle Qi for the rest of his life, he would be fine, but if he did, his extended half-life would be gone.
The reason this once famous General is still alive is entirely due to Battle Qi maintaining his vital signs; once Battle Qi is diverted elsewhere, such as combat, his life will begin a countdown.
General Xu's exclusive talent is the Winter Giant, allowing him to transform into a leader among ice-element giants, suppressing enemies with an extraordinary ice-element Domain; in winter, he can even unleash combat power comparable to a Fifth-Tier.
The problem lies here.
General Xu possessed a perception far beyond ordinary Cultivators, especially concerning the Yao Race.
This aged guardian was the first to discover the enemy, the first to sound the alarm, and the first to activate his talent to transform into a Winter Giant to attract the Yao Race's attention and intercept them.
The moment General Xu discovered the Yao Race was precisely when Tang Gao descended on the other side of the village.
Every time Tang Gao desperately rushed over, General Xu had already used his last Winter Giant transformation.
Tang Gao hadn't even experienced a third of how difficult it was to kill the Yao Race before he was shocked and exasperated by the guardian's determination.
Tang Gao slammed against the wall, utterly frustrated: "Heavens! Why are you so responsible! How am I supposed to save you!"
Violent Justice was also speechless: "Now there are only three difficulties.
The first is to save this very responsible guardian; no solution has been found yet.
The second is to clear out the Yao Race forces; this is relatively easy to solve, just have Destruction Magic God cast a large-scale Spell, or you, Honored One, can cast the Punishing Flame.
The third is, in the last minute, who will withstand that Demon Subduing Cannon?"
In the last minute of the fifteen minutes, in the distance, a previously ambushed Yao Race unit would unleash a terrifying Demon Subduing Cannon to bombard the Winter Giant or Xu Family Village.
The first shot might hit the Winter Giant, the second shot would definitely hit Xu Family Village.
If General Xu was prevented from transforming into a Winter Giant, then both shots would inevitably bombard Xu Family Village, wiping the entire Xu Family Village off the map.
While Violent Justice said 'who will withstand it,' his gaze first fell on Tang Gao, then silently retracted, looking towards Alchemist Shennong.
Alchemist Shennong's face immediately turned green, pointing at himself: "Me?! Are you sure?!"
That cannon could wipe out Xu Family Village, and you want me to withstand it?!
Do you think I'm Benbo'erba or Baba'erben?
It's more appropriate to have the Honored One withstand it! At least he has Soul Extraction and Fusion with the Black Shadow Clan to adjust his attributes!
Violent Justice raised an eyebrow: "Well, we can't let the newcomer withstand it, can we?"
Let the Honored One withstand it?
Can his body withstand such a truthful caliber?
He hasn't not withstood it before; do you think he can survive?
Destruction Magic God, who had been trying to minimize his presence and was still young, forced a smile and politely said: "Big brothers, you first, you first, don't mind me."
It was his first mission, and he hadn't even had time to Cultivate much; how could he dare participate in such a terrifying mission?
Tang Gao was on the verge of tears: "I did think of a method, but it might only succeed once out of ten times."
Violent Justice smiled: "It still has to be the Honored One, what's the method?"
Alchemist Shennong breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't have to withstand the cannon, and quickly pressed: "Honored One, what's the method?"
The rookie Destruction Magic God also showed a curious expression, anticipating his main body's good idea.
Tang Gao sighed helplessly: "Fuse the power of all Clones and the Black Shadow Clan, completely unleash the power of my Shadow King System, first kidnap the hostage to prevent General Xu from transforming into a Winter Giant, then unleash a powerful attack to eliminate the nearby Yao Race, and then withstand two Demon Subduing Cannons."
The air fell silent.
As long as I display sufficiently powerful Demonic Path Qi, and my speed in kidnapping the hostage is fast enough, I can make the guardian wary.
Violent Justice winced: "Doing this can complete the mission, but what about the third Demon Subduing Cannon attack?
If I'm not mistaken, Honored One, the third Demon Subduing Cannon is withstood by your future self arriving at the scene."
The Demon Subduing Cannon was fired a total of three times, and the mission time was limited to fifteen minutes; it wasn't that his future self intentionally made things difficult.
Rather, after this guardian transformed, he likely only had about ten minutes of life left.
Originally, his mission might have been normal, but his future self, in order to save guardian General Xu and the village, very likely interfered with the mission, creating a somewhat irregular operation.
His past self and his future self were on the same battlefield, withstanding the terrifying Demon Subduing Cannon attack.
Tang Gao's eyes flickered: "It seems my future self has already set the outcome. I must protect General Xu, clear out the nearby Yao Race, and withstand two Demon Subduing Cannon attacks to create an outcome where they are 100% protected.
Otherwise, my future self would not have clicked 'submit mission'.
Only this way is the best method to achieve a perfect ending."
The Demon Subduing Cannon is equivalent to a single area bombardment attack from a Sixth-Tier Spell Cultivator.
Withstanding two bombardment attacks from a Sixth-Tier Spell Cultivator, it's not that difficult.
It can only be said that this time, he also has to put in all his effort.
Moreover, the ambushing Yao Race team in the distance still has a third attack.
It's clear that the Yao Race truly harbors deep hatred for Xu Family Village, going to such great lengths to kill everyone in this village.
As long as I can withstand two Demon Subduing Cannon attacks, the remaining problems are just a piece of cake...
Hmm... provided I can withstand them.
Tang Gao thought for a moment, then directly gave everyone present an evolution bar, one by one.
Share the blessings, share the hardships!
[Demon Subduing Cannon Attack Resistance · Level 0 · 0%]
To reduce the difficulty of evolution, Tang Gao very thoughtfully precisely optimized the evolution, to prevent everyone from being exhausted to death.
Violent Justice's face turned green: "No, I'm going too? Seriously, Physical Body against a cannon?"
Alchemist Shennong couldn't smile: "Don't look so sad, I have to come too."
Destruction Magic God's face turned from green to pale: "Honored One, I'm slow at running, I won't make it in time to withstand the bombardment... Am I coming too?"
On the first day of his birth, he starts by physically withstanding a Demon Subduing Cannon, without even a moment to develop.
Folks, who would believe it if I told them!
Tang Gao gave a thumbs up, a bright smile on his face: "Look on the bright side, we only need to stack this one evolution bar, the difficulty is already very low."
Of course, the feeling of being blown to death by the Demon Subduing Cannon is a little bit difficult.
But I believe everyone, like me, can overcome this very slight, even negligible discomfort.
Those who can't ignore this difficulty and faint can be carried by those who are conscious, and continue to charge towards the Demon Subduing Cannon!
Brave Liang City people and Liang City Clones, charge!
