Maybe I shouldn't die.

Her life span increased by another ten years. If she continued like this, she would be able to reach the life span of an ordinary cultivator before leaving the secret realm.

The next morning, Fang Yue arrived at the lobby of the inn early and waited. Many cultivators were already sitting in the hall. Everyone knew that today would be the first time they would face an insect nest, and they were all excited.

After a while, the other members of Fang Yue's team also came down one after another. Senior Brother You suggested that they go to the city wall first to take a look. Everyone readily agreed and walked towards the city gate. On the way, they met many monks who had the same idea as them.

The atmosphere in the city today seemed more solemn than usual, and the number of patrols on the streets had increased significantly. On the road from the inn to the city gate, Fang Yue encountered three teams of elves patrolling past.

Climbing up the city wall, many monks and elves had gathered on it. Many monks were also hanging outside the wall. They had a long rope tied around their waists. Some of them held carving knives, and some held talisman pens, and they kept carving and drawing on the mottled wall.

These are monks who have accepted the task of repairing the rune formation. They obviously want to repair as many formation runes on the city walls as possible before the insect tide arrives.

Before the hour of Mao, a black spot gradually appeared in the originally light blue and empty sky. As time passed, the black spot grew larger and larger. Looking closely, densely packed Zergs could be seen, blocked from the sky by a thin layer of transparent film.

The membrane seemed thin, but it firmly blocked the Zerg outside the sky. However, the people on the city wall could not feel at ease, because they all knew that the thin membrane could not stop the Zerg for long.

At this time, a long bell sound came from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, which was a signal to prepare for battle.

The elves on the city wall pulled up the monks who were still hanging outside the city repairing the rune formation. When the last monk returned safely to the city wall, a transparent protective shield slowly rose from the bottom of the wall. The protective shield rose higher and higher, and finally covered the entire city. The city defense formation was activated.

It was also at this time that the Zerg finally gnawed a hole in the film in the distant sky, and a bug fell down. Then, the black hole became visibly larger and larger, and dense swarms of bugs continued to squeeze out of the black hole, forming a tide of bugs, rushing towards the direction of the Wooden City.

At the same time, the deafening sound of war drums rang out from the city walls. "Boom, boom, boom," the drumbeats were as continuous as thunder, instantly bringing a blood-boiling sense of solemnity and courage to people.

The monks and elves on the city responded to the drums, jumped off the city walls and joined the battle. Most of the elves formed battle formations, some charging and some defending. When one team was exhausted, another team would take their place. There were also those who were seriously injured, and they were quickly sent to the infirmary as soon as they retreated.

The monks were much freer, and most of them formed a small team, fighting alone, casting spells, or wielding long swords transformed from spiritual power, launching a one-sided massacre against the Zerg.

Fang Yue and her teammates were also inspired by the drumbeats and jumped off the city wall to join the battle to hunt the Zerg.

Senior Brother You, as the captain, stood at the front of the team. He held a golden spiritual sword in his hand. Every time he swung it, it would bring out a cold light and kill several insects. Next to him was Senior Brother Xiao, who held a condensed yellow shield, guarding Senior Brother You and blocking every sneak attack from the Zerg.

Then there was Senior Brother Zhang, who was also holding a flying sword and constantly killing the Zerg in front of him. Next to him was Senior Brother Han, who was also holding a shield and taking a defensive stance.

Fang Yue and Senior Sister Zhao were protected behind them. Fang Yue used the condensed wooden vines to quickly drag the Zerg corpses killed by her senior brothers in front of her, while Senior Sister Zhao carefully stared at the surroundings to prevent any Zerg from attacking from behind.

When the Zerg corpses piled up into a small hill, Fang Yue took over the task of guarding, while Senior Sister Zhao released fire spells to burn the Zerg corpses to ashes, and then put the remaining vitality crystals into the prepared pocket.

Although the monks' magic was quite powerful and the battlefield was filled with flashing swords and blazing flames, the number of Zerg was simply too great. They seemed endless and kept pouring in from the black hole in the sky. The rune formations on the city walls were also gradually becoming dim under the constant attacks and gnawing of the Zerg.

The battle lasted for about two hours. Senior Brothers You and Xiao were exhausted and their movements began to become slow. Seeing this, Fang Yue and Senior Sister Zhao quickly stepped forward and replaced them.

Of course, the power of their magic spells is not as strong as those of their two senior brothers, but in the current situation, it is enough just to protect the team and retreat back to the city wall.

They fought and retreated, and did not hesitate to use their spiritual power and spells, and soon they entered the protective shield safely.

After returning to the city, everyone in the team breathed a sigh of relief. They all found a corner to sit down and prepare to recover their spiritual power. Fang Yue and Senior Sister Zhao, who had consumed the least spiritual power, took the initiative to assume the task of vigilance.

Senior Brother You has the highest level of cultivation and recovers the fastest. After he woke up, he signaled Fang Yue and Senior Sister Zhao to recover their spiritual power, and he was responsible for vigilance.

After everyone's spiritual power recovered, they went out of the city again to hunt the Zerg. This continued until the next morning, when dawn broke in the east and the insect swarm began to slowly fade away.

The monks and elves had been fighting for a day and a night at this point, and they all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the insect tide temporarily retreat.

Not until all the Zerg retreated back into the black hole and the film around the black hole in the sky began to heal slowly did everyone feel completely relieved and retreated back into the city.

Except for a few elves who needed to stay on the city wall for vigilance, the other elves and monks left one after another. The injured went to the treatment center to register and queue up, while the uninjured returned to their residences, counted the spoils, or rested immediately.

Fang Yue's team returned to the inn like the other monks. After a day and night of fighting, everyone was quite tired, but now was not the time to rest.

They gathered in Senior Brother You's room, intending to count the spoils. Senior Sister Zhao took out the bag containing the crystals of vitality and poured out all the crystals in the bag.

The tinkling sounds were very pleasant to the ears. The crystals that were poured out piled up to half a meter high. Everyone was very excited to see so many crystals. The fatigue in their bodies seemed to be relieved a little, and they all started to count them together.

After the inventory was completed, there were 23 high-level Zerg crystals, 76 intermediate Zerg crystals, and 584 low-level Zerg crystals, which could be exchanged for contribution points in total.

After the spoils were counted, the next thing was the distribution. After careful discussion and deliberation, everyone decided that Fang Yue would get 1070 contribution points, and the others would each get 2140 contribution points. As for the extra 170 contribution points, everyone unanimously decided that they would belong to Senior Brother You.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Senior Brother You did not raise any objections and calmly accepted the contribution points. Afterwards, everyone agreed to go to the exchange hall together in the afternoon to exchange contribution points, and then they dispersed and returned to their residences to rest.
