133: Chapter 133 Activating the Star and Moon Protective Shield

The next morning, the rising sun ascended from the opposite bank of the Lingxi River, its golden light blanketing the walls and Savage Beast silk roofs of the Bright Tribe.

Wang Sheng gathered his core members in the conference hall of the Chiefs Tent.

The golden spiritual power of a second-rank Barbarian General flowed slowly through his body, more than twice as scorching as when he was a first-rank Barbarian General.

It was like a sun rising within him, the warm energy nourishing every inch of the walls of his meridians.

In the conference hall, the core members sat around a map made of Savage Beast hide.

Shen Xun'er sat to Wang Sheng's right, the Moonlight Priestess's moist apricot eyes carrying a gentle and composed light in the morning sun.

Her silver-white hair curled slightly at her shoulders, and her inner robe of Savage Beast silk shimmered with a moon-white glow in the morning light.

Lin Shiyun stood by the window; the Frost Mage's silver-white hair fluttered slightly in the morning breeze.

Her ice-blue pupils were cold as usual, her arms crossed over her proud chest, her fingertips tapping unconsciously against her arm.

Su Mengyao was in the Spirit Garden and did not come, but the emerald Power of Nature from the spirit fields drifted in from outside the window, carrying a faint floral fragrance; the scent of moonlight rose could be vaguely smelled in the morning breeze.

Zhao Linger sat cross-legged on a Savage Beast hide mat, her Spirit Sound Affinity continuously listening for the faintest Shadow Clan frequencies in the morning air.

Her large, round eyes were closed, but her long eyelashes trembled from time to time, and her petite figure under her Savage Beast silk short shirt leaned slightly forward in her cross-legged posture.

Murong Xue stood by the door, the Holy Light Resonance runes on her new silver armor shimmering with a platinum glow in the morning light.

Her brown ponytail hung neatly over her shoulder, and her silver spear leaned against the doorframe, its tip reflecting the morning sun.

Liu Ruyan stood in the shadowed corner of the conference hall, her dark purple Savage Beast silk combat suit clinging to her slender waist.

Her smoky, mist-like eyes were quiet and firm in the shadows; her legs were slightly splayed in an unnatural manner at the moment, perhaps because of last night's...

Heavenly Strategist Shangguan Xuan unfolded the Savage Beast hide map, the Heavenly Strategist's beautiful eyes scanning every marker on the map, her finger pausing for a moment at the location of the Ancient Battlefield Ruins.

"Let's summarize the gains from the ruins first." Wang Sheng's voice was steady; the spiritual power of a second-rank Barbarian General gave his voice a weight that pressed upon the air, more so than before.

Zhao Linger opened her large, round eyes, her voice unusually grave:

"The first item from the ruins: the prototype of Light Wing Flight, one of the ancient legacies. At the first rank of Barbarian General, one could fly for ten seconds; at the second rank, it increases to fifteen seconds. The complete form requires at least the ninth rank of Barbarian General.

The second item: intelligence from ancient murals, a historical record of the twelve primordial deities sealing the demon god. The Shadow Clan is an extension of the demon god's remnant soul, not an original race of the wilderness.

The third item: the Shadow Clan token, evidence of the contract between Zhao Mang and the Shadow Clan, exchanging the lives of all women in the Bright Tribe for the Shadow Clan's support.

The fourth item: the destruction of the Shadow Clan stronghold. The small Shadow Clan stronghold deep in the Savage Beast Forest has been cleared, but the Shadow Core needs to be obtained from a deeper Shadow Clan stronghold; it is a necessary material for forming the Shadow Legion.

The fifth item: five hundred tribe contribution points.

The sixth item: fragments of blueprints for unknown buildings, blueprints for unopened areas in the deep ruins, which can only be unlocked above the fifth rank of Barbarian General.

The seventh item: Star-Moon Protective Shield. It consumes starlight or moonlight energy to produce an energy barrier covering a certain area, defending against all kinds of attacks, including physical, energy, and elemental ones—an absolute defense."

Her voice echoed in the conference hall, every word striking everyone's heart like a precise frequency from the Spirit Sound Technique.

The news that Zhao Mang had signed a contract on the Shadow Clan token at the cost of the lives of all women in the Bright Tribe had spread to the core members the night before, and as it was mentioned again now,

Murong Xue's fingers gripping the silver spear tightened slightly, her knuckles turning white, and a chill flashed in her brown eyes.

A hint of frost-like coldness flashed in Lin Shiyun's ice-blue pupils, and her fingertips stopped tapping her arm for a moment.

In Shen Xun'er's moist apricot eyes, there was the calmness of moonlight falling on the Lingxi River, but in the depths, there was a rare gravity; her hands clenched slightly on her lap, but her expression remained composed.

"The origin of the Shadow Clan revealed by the ancient murals is the most important intelligence."

Heavenly Strategist Shangguan Xuan's beautiful eyes swept over the location of the Shadow Realm on the map.

"The Shadow Clan is not an original race of the wilderness, but an extension of the demon god's remnant soul.

This means that all the Shadow Clan's actions—driving the Beast Tide, monitoring the Bright Tribe, supporting Zhao Mang...

All are the will of the demon god's remnant soul.

Zhao Mang thought he was using the Shadow Clan, but in reality, the Shadow Clan was using Zhao Mang to execute the demon god's remnant soul's plan."

"The Shadow Clan does not want the territory of the Central Wasteland Region." Wang Sheng's voice was steady.

"What they want is the lives of all the women in the Bright Tribe. This is not just a tribal war; it is an evil sacrifice."

Liu Ruyan nodded slightly in the shadowed corner, a cold glint flashing in her smoky, mist-like eyes.

She had seen the Shadow Clan's methods with her own eyes in the ruins—Shadow Sealing Chains, shadow burns...

With the contract on the Shadow Clan token costing human lives, the Shadow Clan was not conquering; it was harvesting.

Next, Wang Sheng decided to install and activate the Star-Moon Protective Shield to test the barrier's energy consumption.

Wang Sheng took the [Star-Moon Protective Shield] out of his backpack.

It was a pyramid-shaped blue gem wrapped in silver metal filigree, crystal clear,

inside which it seemed as if a golden light spell was flowing slowly, possessing an unparalleled sacred aura, so beautiful that it was hard to put down.

The girls were all deeply captivated by this beautiful gem, and each of them was breathing rapidly.

Their full chests rose and fell with their breathing, trembling slightly, making Wang Sheng want to pinch each one of them.

Inside the Chiefs Tent, Wang Sheng started the installation of the Star-Moon Protective Shield. The Star-Moon Protective Shield suddenly emitted a gorgeous light and then slowly floated into mid-air.

Wang Sheng's panel appeared before his eyes, a flat topographic map centered on the Chiefs Tent, allowing him to plan a protective circle centered on the Chiefs Tent.

Wang Sheng planned all the core areas of the tribe into the protective circle, including the medicine fields, gardens, the Moonlight Altar, and more, protecting them all.

"Protective circle range confirmed."

"Ding." The system prompt sounded.

[Congratulations to the Chief for successfully installing and activating the Star-Moon Protective Shield]

[The protection range of the currently planned protective barrier is moderate]

[Current energy consumption: 1% of energy can maintain the protective barrier for 1 hour]

[Current energy reserve is 100%, which can maintain the protective barrier for 100 hours]

"Boom." Wang Sheng felt a surge of hot blood rush to his head.

This Star-Moon Protective Shield was too amazing; it was powerful beyond measure.

It was definitely the artifact among artifacts.

1% of energy could maintain the barrier for 1 hour, and then Xuner could cast Moonlight Blessing at night to continuously replenish the energy.

Upon seeing the effect of the Star-Moon Protective Shield, Xuner was stunned, completely shocked.

"Wow, Chief, you are amazing! The Star-Moon Protective Shield has protected our entire tribe." Zhao Linger jumped up and down excitedly, her full chest bobbing violently up and down due to her movements.

Lin Shiyun, Murong Xue, Liu Ruyan, Su Mengyao, and other core members, including Heavenly Strategist Shangguan Xuan, all looked at Wang Sheng happily, their smiles impossible to hide.

They knew that the tribe's safety was now vastly different from before, and at the same time, they silently rejoiced in their hearts to have such a powerful Chief as Wang Sheng.

Outside the Chiefs Tent, a layer of blue protective barrier shrouded the entire tribe, just like a large bowl inverted over the tribe.

Everyone in the tribe looked up at this newly appeared blue protective barrier, and the sky seemed to have become even more beautiful.
