Reincarnation Paradise Park-Chapter 659 - 53: Neerapan

As the fans girl opened the scroll, a layer of transparent barrier spread out, enveloping the entire auction house.

The unknown creatures were blocked outside the barrier, desperately attacking it, the noise never ceasing, like a thousand people simultaneously hammering on a pane of glass. Fortunately, this barrier was extremely sturdy, after all, it was a consumable of Purple Quality.

The Contractors stopped in their tracks; although the barrier blocked the unknown creatures, the Contractors were also unable to attack the creatures outside.

"This thing won’t hold on for long, will it?"

"The V5 Organization and Hunter’s Union should come to support?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"They probably won’t care; these unknown creatures are just attacking the auction house, this is gang’s territory. As long as there aren’t mass civilian casualties, this is a conflict between powers; those large organizations won’t interfere. Besides, for some reason, the area nearby is sparsely populated."

The Contractors gathered in the lobby on the first floor, everyone knowing they were only safe for a short time; the barrier outside wouldn’t last long.

"Damn, had I known, I wouldn’t have come to the auction house."

"What’s the point of saying that now? We were surrounded earlier, not breaking in would have been death as well. Where did these things come from, spatial teleportation?"

Some of the impatient ones paced in the lobby, and Su Xiao looked towards the main entrance.

If he couldn’t defend the auction house, he planned to break out. These unknown creatures couldn’t stop him from breaking through; it was just that having all attributes reduced by 3 was somewhat frustrating, especially the Luck Attributes.

"Who has high-dose healing items? Xiao Ke is a Barrier Master."

A loud shout drew the attention of the Contractors present, all eyes turned to a couple.

The man in the couple was covered in blood, while the woman was unconscious, and the man was holding the woman.

"The injuries are so severe, potions below Blue Quality might be ineffective."

"Who needs potions? Second Brother, Third Brother, get to work."

The National Foot Boss quickly stepped forward, followed closely by the second and third brothers. If the three of them use healing skills simultaneously, most healers wouldn’t compare to them.

Holy Light bloomed on the three brothers, and under their treatment, the female Contractor slowly woke up.

"Ah!"

The female Contractor screamed as she woke, but upon finding her lover safe, she began checking if any parts of her body were missing.

"Xiao Ke, it’s alright now."

"How did I recover from such severe injuries?"

"Ahem~"

The National Boss lightly coughed.

"Miss, no need to thank me. Call me ’Lei Feng,’ but your boyfriend is quite a man, dragging you from the monsters’ midst after you fainted."

The Barrier Master girl looked at her boyfriend, tears welling in her eyes—it was only in life and death that true feelings were revealed.

The man gave a shy smile, scratching his head.

"My dear..."

The Barrier Master girl’s voice was somewhat choked.

"It’s alright. If you weren’t here, living wouldn’t mean anything."

"I..."

The couple didn’t notice the dozens of eyes staring at them.

"You two, though it’s somewhat inappropriate to interrupt your lovey-dovey moment, the barrier I set up has limited strength and will last at most ten minutes. I’m not a Barrier Master; if the barrier can’t be charged, even high strength is useless."

The fans girl’s expression was a bit unnatural, having been force-fed a large dose of romance she didn’t believe in.

"As for the barrier, I can set it up anytime; as long as I have enough mana, it will not disappear."

"A sustained type Barrier Master? A rare profession."

Having a Barrier Master in the crowd was undoubtedly good news; Su Xiao’s arrangement on the contact platform hadn’t been in vain.

"If we’re going to set up a barrier, it’s best to leave one or two openings so we can form a defense line instead of just huddling inside it. Moreover, if we leave attack openings, those monsters will try to get in and stop hammering the barrier, greatly extending its duration."

The National Foot Boss spoke, apparently experienced in such situations, presumably having been part of a large adventure group before.

Su Xiao had remained silent because he was contemplating something.

The current situation was neither an accident nor coincidental; it was the Clown’s scheme against him. In terms of intelligence, the Clown was stronger. Admitting this wasn’t shameful; overconfidence or arrogance equaled stupidity.

After losing to him in combat, the Clown had been planning this action. Whether Su Xiao joined the Travel Group or the Ten Old Men’s Power, the Clown’s goal was to sabotage the main quest, thus weakening his strength. Killing him outright wouldn’t be a problem either.

The Clown, who had been hiding for a few days, bared his fangs today. Unquestionably, the Clown had outsmarted Su Xiao, who was skilled in assassination and facing strong foes head-on, but not in defending a location. Hence, the Clown acted this way.

"Clown."

Su Xiao smiled; he hadn’t encountered such an enemy in a long time. Neither the Cowboy Hat Man nor Crazy Healer could compare to the Clown.

In terms of comprehensive capability, the Clown was the strongest enemy at the same tier Su Xiao had ever encountered.

As Su Xiao pondered, a crisp sound echoed; large cracks appeared in the barrier outside the auction house. The unknown creatures’ attacks never ceased, and the fans girl’s barrier didn’t last ten minutes.

"Source of the Sky·Four Kings Barrier."

The Barrier Master girl clasped her hands; a brand new, large barrier appeared, with two square openings left at the front and back entrances of the auction house.

"If the defense can’t hold, I can close an opening anytime. I can maintain a barrier of this strength for two hours, longer if I have Mana Value Recovery Potion."

The Barrier Master girl glanced around, clearly signaling who had the Mana Value Recovery Potion she needed.

The rarity of Mana Value Recovery Potion was well known, but the National Foot Boss tossed a Crystal Bottle.

"Very expensive, use it sparingly."

"Hmm, in that case, the barrier can hold for over three hours."

"Clown, don’t let me run into you."

Teeth clenched, the fans girl also took out a Mana Value Recovery Potion.

"Barrier duration increased to five hours."

No one spoke further; National Foot Elder Three looked at Su Xiao.

"Brother Ruthless, shouldn’t you say something, being the strongest here surely you have Mana Value Recovery Potion?"

National Foot Elder Three chuckled heartily, causing cold sweat to form on the Boss and Elder Two, the Boss giving Elder Three a firm slap on the back of the head, resulting in a crisp sound.

"My third brother jests, don’t take it to heart."

The National Foot Boss clearly understood Su Xiao’s temperament.

"There are no potions, but I have an aura. I’m responsible for the main entrance opening; you can defend the back."

Su Xiao signaled Bu Bu to activate the Ice and Snow Goddess’ Aura, which all the Contractors approved of.

"Barrier Master, open a hole on the rooftop for me."

Shouted Vini, who rushed in from the rooftop, then turned to leave, wanting to avoid being recognized by the Contractors present. But as she left, she glanced at the three National Team Brothers.

"This is..."

The trio shivered simultaneously, bodies stiffening slightly.

"Brother Ruthless, you wouldn’t tolerate internal conflict, would you? That woman just now could likely kill us."

"Right, that woman is..."

Before National Foot Elder Three could finish revealing Vini’s identity, the Boss smacked him affectionately, stars spinning before his eyes.

Ignoring the three National Foot amusing figures, Su Xiao noted the barrier’s outer layer was about to shatter.

Approaching the opening at the barrier’s main entrance alone, Su Xiao used the Eye of the Apostle to inspect those unknown creatures’ data.

"Matching both sides’ Intelligence Attributes... match complete, my intelligence is 1.964 times the enemy’s, obtaining 100% of enemy information."
