"Uh, I'm fine!" Ye Feng waved his hand at Yuan Ling, who looked at him with concern, her cheeks slightly flushed.
He then turned to He Shang, Xiao Lü, and Ya La Ke, only to find that the three of them, after the exhaustion and injuries from the previous battle, were struggling even against less formidable goblins. They were bleeding from multiple wounds...
More importantly, a dark aura was encroaching upon their bodies...
"The goblin priest's Yin Thunder?" Ye Feng frowned slightly, flashed to their side, and unleashed a barrage of ice cones and shards with his ice-attribute arcane talismans, killing and repelling a large number of goblins.
Then, with a flash of light in his hand, Ye Feng retrieved a small handful of Qiong Jiang Yu Ye from his spatial storage. He dispersed it forcefully into fine water droplets, which landed precisely on the areas of Xiao Lü, He Shang, and Ya La Ke that were being corroded by the Yin Thunder.
"Huh? Such a peculiar fragrance!"
"What's happening?"
"The Yin Thunder on my body has been removed!"
Xiao Lü, He Shang, and Ya La Ke exclaimed in surprise almost simultaneously, then all three turned to Ye Feng with looks of confusion and inquiry.
"Big Brother, there's something happening in the distance!" Ye Feng was just pondering how to explain this to Xiao Lü and the other two, as he didn't want to reveal the existence of Qiong Jiang Yu Ye. Suddenly, Xiao Xiao ran down from a large rock and handed Ye Feng a telescope, effectively rescuing him from the predicament.
"Hmm? Something happening?" Ye Feng frowned slightly, took the telescope, and looked in the direction Xiao Xiao pointed. He immediately saw a large number of humans armed with various weapons fighting against goblins in the distance.
Judging by their attire, these people should be adventurers and villagers from Blackwater Town, and their numbers were considerable. These villagers cooperated with each other, constantly killing goblins, but the goblin numbers far exceeded those of the Blackwater Town adventurers and villagers, and they kept surging towards them...
The villagers seemed to have been fighting goblins for a while, all appearing exhausted and bearing injuries. Facing what seemed like an endless tide of goblins from all directions, many had despair in their eyes...
"It looks like the adventurers and villagers from Blackwater Town... Why have they all come to the Goblin Kingdom?"
"And... almost all of them have come..." Xiao Lü, also holding a telescope, said in confusion.
"Bang bang! ~ Bang!" Ya La Ke sent the goblins nearby flying, and said grimly, "There are simply too many goblins in this Goblin Kingdom; they can't all be killed. We need to leave quickly, or we'll be worn out and die at the hands of these endless waves of goblins..."
"We can carve a bloody path towards the villagers and, if possible... help those villagers!" As Ya La Ke finished speaking, Xiao Lü chimed in, "Those people are likely here to deal with the goblins because of the commotion we caused. Among them are even people holding hoes..."
"Even if we fight our way there, but the fire over there..." He Shang's voice became somewhat subdued as he spoke.
The others also fell silent. After all, the massive fire they had ignited yesterday was now burning even more outrageously, a sea of flames that seemed boundless. Furthermore, due to the presence of the crater, a fire wall of unknown width had encircled Ye Feng and his group, as well as the adventurers and villagers...
"Ye Feng, I'll send you and Xiao Xiao back, to Moonlit Village!" Yuan Ling's eyes began to glow purple as she was about to do something, but Ye Feng interrupted her. "Can you guys contact those villagers? And simultaneously create a passage for them through the sea of flames so they can leave quickly!"
After speaking, Ye Feng looked at Yuan Ling and the others.
"Contact the villagers?" Yuan Ling frowned slightly, glanced at He Shang, and then turned to Ye Feng. "Ye Feng, do you have a plan?" As Yuan Ling spoke, Xiao Lü, Ya La Ke, and He Shang also looked at Ye Feng with hope.
"Yes!" Ye Feng scanned his surroundings once more and nodded. "Although the super fire in the Goblin Kingdom has trapped us, it has also trapped the goblins!"
"And because of that sacrificial ritual, all the goblins have gathered, and most of them are now forced into the fiery ring!"
"I plan to use a nuclear bomb to eliminate them all, and at the same time, extinguish this fire. If this fire continues to burn, Blackwater Town will surely be lost!" As he spoke, Ye Feng glanced at the goblins surging around them like a zombie tide.
"N... Nuclear bomb?" Yuan Ling, Xiao Lü, and the other two looked at Ye Feng with utterly astonished eyes. Except for He Shang, the term nuclear bomb was something they had only encountered in books and old tales.
"Yes!" Ye Feng looked in the direction of the Blackwater Town villagers. "The only problem is, we need to ensure the villagers retreat to a safe distance!"
"I can notify the villagers, and I can also build a temporary wooden bridge for them to cross the sea of flames!" He Shang said at this moment.
"Cough cough! ~" Facing Ye Feng's questioning gaze, He Shang scratched his bald head, which was blackened with ash from the super fires, and gave a simple smile. "I, He Shang, have no other skills, but I have many ways to escape! On our journey, I've left behind many treants imbued with wood-attribute arcane energy in hidden places, with special runes carved on them!"
"If I wish, I can escape quickly by following the treants one by one... There are treants near the villagers... although I will eventually return to this place..." As he finished speaking, He Shang pointed in the direction of the villagers.
"Then you go notify them first. We also need to make some preparations here!"
"Oh, right, take these ice-attribute arcane talismans. The fire is so intense over there, it should help you!" After speaking, Ye Feng handed He Shang a thick stack of ice-attribute arcane talismans.
"So... so many talismans... and they're ice-attribute! If these were sold at the Adventurer's Guild, they would be worth a fortune!" He Shang exclaimed in astonishment as he received Ye Feng's ice-attribute arcane talismans.
"He Shang, just say it's my instruction, otherwise, with so many people, communication would be quite troublesome!" As Yuan Ling finished speaking, He Shang's figure vanished, replaced by a treant where he had stood.
Immediately, with a flash of light in his hand, the nuclear bomb he had bought from the [Shop] not long ago appeared on the ground. This nuclear bomb, or more accurately, a hydrogen bomb, had a much greater explosive power than early atomic weapons and produced significantly less nuclear radiation. It was perfect for dealing with the massive number of goblins on their side... As for the goblins near the villagers, Ye Feng planned to use fireseed bombs...
"Um, Ye Feng... if this nuclear bomb detonates... how will we leave this place?" After dispatching a group of goblins, Xiao Lü asked a crucial question.
