The night fell,
"Big brother, it looks like someone is trapped by monsters over there! ~"
Ye Feng was resting on the lawn when suddenly, Xiao Xiao ran over, "Those monsters are quite powerful, some of them have faint spatial power fluctuations on their bodies. The person trapped by the monsters seems a little familiar, but it's too far away to see clearly!"
"Hm?"
Ye Feng frowned slightly. To be honest, he didn't really want to bother with such things right now...
"Ye Feng, Bing has a reply!"
At this moment, Qiao Ying's cheerful voice rang out.
Because Ye Feng and the others were all concerned about the situation in the City of Arcane, they took turns checking the status of the Mirror Arcane Yuan Coin Communicator every day.
As she spoke, Qiao Ying's figure appeared beside Ye Feng, and next to her was a Mirror Arcane Yuan Coin Communicator.
"That's great, big brother, Sister Bing and the others are fine!"
Seeing the content on the screen of the Mirror Arcane Yuan Coin Communicator, Xiao Xiao's face immediately broke into a smile, and Ye Feng was truly relieved.
"Let's go, Xiao Xiao, let's go and see where you said there were monsters!"
...
Soon, led by Xiao Xiao, Ye Feng and his party arrived at a mountain hollow.
At the bottom of the mountain hollow was a large pit filled with runes, which pulsed with a strange red light. A group of grotesque monsters surrounded the pit, many of them with spatial power fluctuations.
And inside the pit was a man covered in blood, with disheveled white hair...
"Ye Feng, something is wrong... The person seemingly trapped in the pit... is very strong, and the formation in the pit definitely can't hold him..."
"The monsters around him... although they have spatial power fluctuations, they are very chaotic and unstable... It's highly unlikely they are a match for the person in the pit..."
Leng Yue analyzed after observing.
"Ye Feng, don't you think the person's back and attire are quite familiar...?"
At this moment, Qiao Ying frowned slightly and said.
"Indeed!"
Ye Feng nodded, his expression puzzled. "The monsters in the pit... all have vortex tattoos on their foreheads... Are they from Desert Storm, one of the Seven Great Powers?"
"Hey, old man, look who I've caught?"
At this moment, a cold, violent voice came from the shadows of the mountain hollow.
Then Ye Feng and the others saw a giant bull-headed monster emerge from the shadows. The bull-headed monster, with its black hairy hands, was holding a chain, the other end of which was tied to the hands of a young maiden.
"Big brother, it's Sister Yun Yao!"
Seeing the young girl in denim with her hands tied by chains, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but exclaim.
"The white-haired figure in the pit... Shen Botian?... No wonder I felt like I'd seen him somewhere before!"
Seeing Shen Yun Yao, Ye Feng immediately understood.
"Hahaha~!"
At this moment, all the monsters surrounding the pit let out cold laughter, and the bull-headed monster pulled Shen Yun Yao to the side of the pit.
And at this very moment, the white-haired figure in the pit also looked up and at Shen Yun Yao.
"It really is Shen Botian!"
Looking at the not-unfamiliar face, Ye Feng muttered.
"Grandpa, it's almost time!"
Although Shen Yun Yao's hands were bound by chains and there were monsters all around, there was no trace of fear in her eyes. She nodded at Shen Botian and said in a deep voice.
"Good!"
Shen Botian responded, and the next second, a verdant green light erupted from him, and the strange rune formation that had trapped him rapidly cracked apart. kanδん
"Go, kill him!"
"Cut him down first!"
"Ah!~"
"Clang clang ~ clank!"
"Hiss ~ ah ~ ah!"
Water splashed around Shen Yun Yao, shattering the chains on her wrists. She and Shen Botian cooperated to kill all the creatures present, who were neither fully human nor monster.
With the flash of light and shadow, the scene quickly returned to peace...
"Xiao Xiao, let's go and see what's going on! ~"
...
"Who?"
As soon as Ye Feng and his party approached, Shen Yun Yao let out a stern cry, staring vigilantly in the direction of Ye Feng and the others.
"Senior Shen, Yun Yao, it's me!"
"Sister Yun Yao, it's me and big brother~"
Ye Feng's and Xiao Xiao's voices sounded almost simultaneously.
"Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao?"
Hearing their voices, Shen Botian and Shen Yun Yao both showed surprise.
"It really is you... Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, why did you suddenly appear here?"
Seeing the figures emerging from the shadows, Shen Yun Yao exclaimed in surprise, also with joy.
"Uh... how should I put it... it's a coincidence... We were on our way, and Xiao Xiao just discovered that someone was being surrounded by monsters here... so we came to take a look..."
Ye Feng scratched his head. "By the way, Senior Shen, Yun Yao, why are you here... and trapped in that pit by those monsters?"
There was obvious confusion in Ye Feng's words, and Xiao Xiao and the others also looked puzzled.
"Ye Feng, those are not monsters, they are people. They are from Desert Storm, one of the Seven Great Powers. My grandfather and I were investigating a very important matter and came into conflict with them!"
"For some reason, we pretended to be captured!"
Shen Yun Yao quickly explained to Ye Feng.
"Important matter?"
Ye Feng frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.
Shen Yun Yao glanced at Ling Xi and Leng Yue behind Ye Feng, her expression showing concern.
"It's okay, they can be trusted!"
Ye Feng nodded at Shen Yun Yao.
"It's a map to a special item on the Heavenly Ranking..."
Shen Yun Yao glanced at her grandfather, then at Ye Feng for a while, and finally nodded.
"A map to a special item on the Heavenly Ranking... Wait, Heavenly Ranking?"
Ye Feng looked at Shen Yun Yao with great surprise, because the Heavenly Ranking was something that only survivors would know...
"After the City Lord returned to the City of Arcane, he told me many secrets. I am also a survivor... When you were in Taixing City, I was Shen Yun Yao from that survivor list that we didn't have time to destroy..."
"To be honest, when I learned that Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, and even Princess Bing were survivors, I was stunned and even a little disbelieving..."
"Even now, I still feel like I'm dreaming and it's unreal..."
Shen Yun Yao looked at Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao with an astonished gaze.
"Yun Yao, Ye Feng, let's talk about it in detail on the road. There is a very important matter that needs to be dealt with immediately!"
At this moment, Shen Botian saw Shen Yun Yao's excited expression and was about to continue speaking, so he interjected.
