Apocalyptic Beastworld: A Farming Space Dimension to Another World-Chapter 130: The Quest’s Reward

The fierce beasts still kept on ramming the protective shield. They kept on coming, pouring out from the forest and surrounding the base.

"How long will this protective shield be able to hold on?" Lin Yuyao muttered in worry. She was standing beside her younger brother, who was clutching the crossbow in his hand tightly.

Lin Yu’an pursed his lips.

Fang Meilin happened to pass by and heard her question. The feeling of hesitation took over, making footsteps stop. She stood there, deep in thought.

"Sister Fang, are you alright?" Lin Yuyao called out in concern.

Fang Meilin was immediately snapped out of her daze.

"You do have something in your mind, Miss Fang? You can tell us..." It was Lin Yu’an who spoke. His eyes were pure and bright, but they looked like they could see through one’s heart.

She sighed as she looked at the siblings. "Let’s talk."

There was no one who wasn’t worried with how the situation was developing. Zhou Yunhan was already aware of Xie Ziyuan’s condition, but for others, she hesitated whether she should tell them or not.

She heard that the Lin siblings were the first beastmen who had been following her ancestor, and he even trusted them enough to bring them to the base.

As such, she wanted to tell them the truth.

Everyone was waiting for Xie Ziyuan to come out and lead them to avert this disaster. Although they were afraid, they didn’t have the intention to abandon the base.

Lin Yuyao nodded and led Fang Meilin and her younger brother to the underground base. There were a few empty rooms there with no prying eyes or ears nearby.

"Sister Fang, is it related to Master Xie?" Lin Yuyao already guessed it. Lin Yuyao bit his lip, looking restless.

Fang Meilin sighed. "This protective shield was built by Master Xie. In this base, there was no one who could control it but him... these fierce beasts outside can sense that the shield is also weakening. Hence, their relentless attack despite achieving no result for now."

"Since the shield’s power kept on deteriorating and only Master Xie could control it... does it mean that something has happened to him?" Lin Yu’an asked directly, clenching his fists.

At first glance, he could sense that Fang Meilin was an extraordinary female beastman. It didn’t matter what method she used to know about such things, as long as it didn’t hurt anyone, it didn’t matter.

Lin Yuyao was taken aback by her younger brother’s words. She wanted to cover her brother’s mouth from saying such inauspicious words, but Fang Meilin interrupted her.

"That’s right. Master Xie probably won’t come out for a while," Fang Meilin admitted. She made a determined decision on the spot. "But, we can’t let him down. Since he had kindly taken us in, we should also protect this base, right?"

Lin Yuyao took a sharp breath, a bit in disbelief, and her heart was filled with anxiety. Yet, soon, she forced herself to calm down. It wasn’t the time to panic! Panicking would only cloud her mind. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

As such, when the Lin siblings heard Fang Meilin’s words, they didn’t hesitate: they nodded.

Seeing this, Fang Meilin’s hanging heart fell slightly, a little relieved.

However, upon thinking about other beastmen, weren’t they in the same fate? If the base fell, they also had nowhere to go. Only when they put up a fight will there be a sliver of chance of survival.

"How long until the protective shield completely collapses? Do you know, Miss Fang?" Lin Yu’an asked.

Fang Meilin was about to shake her head when they suddenly heard a soft and ethereal voice, which somewhat appeared a little mechanical.

"Three days and nineteen hours."

The three froze, stunned into silence.

Su Yining would have teased the shocked chibis if only the situation wasn’t so tense. Unfortunately, with Yuanyuan who was still unconscious, she didn’t have the energy for that.

"Sister Fang, did you just say these words?" Lin Yuyao blinked and asked in confusion. The voice didn’t sound like her at all...

"I thought it was you," Fang Meilin muttered in bewilderment.

They both turned to Lin Yu’an, whose face instantly turned red. He shook his head fiercely, "I am a male beastmen, how could I have such a soft voice?"

His words made sense, so they thought there might be a female beastman eavesdropping to their conversation?

Su Yining was a little speechless at the cute chibis’ reaction. A bit helpless, she finally tapped on each of their heads and wrote again. "It’s me... Miss Owner."

The nickname usually didn’t feel as awkward when the beastmen said it, but when she referred to herself with such a nickname, she was a little embarrassed.

"Miss Owner?" Fang Meilin’s voice echoed in a pleasant surprise. There was even a hint of excitement.

"Yes," Su Yining answered hesitantly. Why does she suddenly feel a little nervous as if she was chatting with new people?

"Do you know about Master Xie’s condition, Miss Owner...?" Fang Meilin hurriedly asked.

There was silence.

Her heart couldn’t help but sink when she received such a reaction.

"I will take care of him." Su Yining’s heart also inexplicably felt heavy.

Fang Meilin also knew that with the pills Su Yining possessed, it was best for Xie Ziyuan to be taken care of by her.

After another brief silence, Fang Meilin who was more familiar with Su Yining began to ask more questions.

"Miss Owner, you told us that the protective shield could only hold on for 3 days and nineteen hours... is there a way to prolong the time?" She solemnly asked.

"I will think of a way." Su Yining replied. She would search the game shop again for any item that could help to protect the base.

She gradually became tired of clicking all the three chibis’ heads and only conversed with Fang Meilin, making some arrangement for the base like delivering certain weapons.

The Lin siblings waited patiently. After a while, Fang Meilin turned to them. "Do any of you have any questions?"

Soon, they noticed the restriction on Su Yining even if she was the castle’s owner. She wasn’t an omnipotent being. Although there was some disappointment, they didn’t feel regretful.

"Miss Owner, if we strike the fierce beasts from inside the castle, would it break the protective shield?" Lin Yu’an asked.
