"Daddy, Mommy... Qiqi is so scared."
The little girl cried as she turned her head, hoping to find her parents' figures, only to see the massive golden shield in the distance crack with a sound. Beneath that shield, many were protected, but once it shattered, they panicked and clutched at the man and woman's clothes, shouting, "Shield! For God's sake, put up the shield!"
"Put the shield on me quick! I want the same shield as that little girl! I don't want to die here!"
"Can you do it or not! Damn it! Why hasn't the Awakener army come yet! They're not abandoning us, are they!"
The man frowned as he tugged his sleeve free, continuing to hold up the massive shield, blocking the further advance of the gigantic Demon Vine. The Demon Vine King was highly displeased with this bothersome barrier. A number of gigantic snake-like Demon Vines constantly took turns attacking the shield, yet this damn shield kept being raised over and over, making it quite annoyed.
