Not only Ye Feng, but Shen Yun Yao, A Jin, and even Horus Guardian 1 looked at Xiao Xiao with puzzled eyes.
"Big brother... I used bones... to distract the big black dog... dogs like to gnaw on bones!"
Facing everyone's gaze, Xiao Xiao said a little timidly.
Upon hearing Xiao Xiao's answer, Shen Yun Yao almost turned to stone on the spot.
Although Ye Feng had discussed with her and Xiao Xiao before, aiming to distract these people as much as possible and create an opportunity to escape, this Xiao Xiao...
"Big brother..."
At this moment, Xiao Xiao pointed to Ji Hei, who had transformed into a black tengu, at a distance from them.
Ye Feng looked back and couldn't help but be startled, because the black tengu was actually licking the bones that Xiao Xiao had just thrown.
"Holy shit..."
Not only Ye Feng, but A Jin and Shen Yun Yao were stunned.
"Hiss!~"
At this moment, Ji Hei, who had transformed into a black tengu, stopped his tongue that was halfway out.
He exhaled a puff of white air from his nostrils, his lowered eyelids lifted, revealing a large expanse of whites, looking extremely ferocious.
"Uh... Xiao Xiao, you seem to have angered him!"
"Roar!~"
As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, the black tengu, Ji Hei, stomped his four limbs hard on the ground, and the ground instantly cracked and sunk.
In the blink of an eye, the black tengu arrived in front of Ye Feng, and his dark, mist-shrouded claws slashed towards Xiao Xiao.
"Swoosh!~ Whoosh!~"
Instantly, several sharp beams of darkness with crimson lightning flashed towards Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao, with the angelic power flowing through her Angelic Blade, responded with a slash, canceling out the attack.
At this moment, Xiao Xiao was already wearing the Angelic Armor and jumped a good distance to the side.
The black tengu, having failed in his attack, did not stop there. He suddenly turned sideways, and his black claws, which did not reflect in the sunlight, suddenly swiped at Ye Feng.
"Clang!~ Crackle!~"
Ye Feng's large saber and the black tengu's black claws collided, and the saber instantly shattered.
Seeing the black tengu's sharp claws about to strike Ye Feng, Ye Feng's eyes narrowed, and he twisted his body, instantly dodging behind the Stone of Hope.
"Clang! Bang!~"
The black tengu's sharp claws struck the Stone of Hope directly, but they were bounced off.
Ye Feng was not surprised by this, after all, he didn't know what the Stone of Hope was made of, as even a Tang dao couldn't cut it...
"Bang bang bang!~"
Taking advantage of the Stone of Hope as cover, Ye Feng's figure dodged and leaped continuously, while simultaneously attacking the black tengu with various handguns, grenades, bombs, and arcane energy rifles.
"This is ridiculous..."
Ye Feng, entangled with the black tengu, was very frustrated because no matter what he used to attack the opponent, the black tengu absorbed it directly...
What weighed on his mind was that guys like Tu Po, Number 11, and Sand Ghost were all eyeing him covetously...
"Puff!~ Bang!~"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao threw something wrapped in a plastic bag towards Ye Feng's location.
It hit the ground, and the plastic bag instantly burst open, scattering several bones inside. The black tengu, who was rushing towards Ye Feng, actually paused slightly and turned its head towards the bones on the ground.
Ye Feng took this opportunity, lifted the giant Stone of Hope, and quickly leaped away from the black tengu.
After struggling and hesitating with the bones on the ground for a while, the black tengu reluctantly turned its head to pursue Ye Feng, but Xiao Xiao threw several more bags of bones at him.
This made the black tengu's footsteps pause again...
"My goodness... this guy... seems unable to resist the temptation of bones~"
Ye Feng, who had come to Xiao Xiao's side, was speechless.
"Ji Hei must have recently injected the black tengu's enhancement serum and hasn't fully controlled his instincts yet..."
A Jin, who was fending off a few explorers, shouted to Ye Feng.
"Xiao Xiao, where did you get so many bones that have been chewed on?"
Shen Yun Yao, holding the silver Phantom Great Saber, looked at Xiao Xiao with some confusion.
"Big brother said these bones can be used to lure fierce fish, so I kept some in the refrigerator... for fishing..."
Xiao Xiao said crisply.
"Beast, to insult me like this... unforgivable, unforgivable! I will let you know that death is a release!"
At this moment, the black tengu's teeth-gnashing voice sounded.
"Crackle! Crackle!~"
"Rumble~! Rumble~!"
At this time, lightning sounds came from the location of the suspended waterfall.
Ye Feng and the others looked up and saw the space above them distorting, and a large number of giant rocks rolling down, while the ground where they stood also began to shake.
"The spatial stability has significantly worsened, this place won't last long, let's go together!"
At this moment, Tu Po spoke.
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and all the explorers from the City of Arcane rushed towards Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, and the other two. The explorers from the other major forces followed closely behind.
"Bang bang!~ Ah~"
"Clang!~ Clang!"
"Whoosh~ Rumble! Crackle~"
Instantly, the situation on the scene became chaotic, with the sounds of gunfire, sword clashes, explosions, and arcane energy attacks constantly erupting.
"Yun Yao, why is it that the arcane energy attacks from Sha Gui, Tu Po, and their group, as long as they are not long-range attacks, are rarely absorbed?"
In the midst of the melee, Ye Feng found an opportunity to ask Shen Yun Yao the doubt in his heart.
"Because their strength is already above Golden Rank Five, their control over arcane energy is much stronger!"
Shen Yun Yao explained as she chopped off an explorer from the Adventurer's Guild with her great saber.
"Hey, Ye Feng, that A Jin... is he reliable?"
Shen Yun Yao looked at A Jin, who was still holding off Sha Gui in the distance, and asked Ye Feng.
"Ying Yue... at the energy core and where the Stone of Hope was, were there any other people?"
Ye Feng did not answer immediately. After a few dodges and leaps, he came next to Horus Guardian 1 and asked.
"I'm not sure about the energy core because there were rifts caused by spatial instability."
"But in the research lab of the Stone of Hope, there was absolutely no one else besides us!"
Ying Yue replied quickly.
"Is that so..."
Ye Feng frowned slightly, "It seems to be that eye that Xiao Xiao saw earlier at the energy core..."
Ye Feng connected the dots and immediately understood.
"Ye Feng, I plan to stop the floating island from absorbing arcane energy, as it greatly limits your combat."
"But this will cause a problem, the floating island will begin to disintegrate, and the collapse of the entire Civilization Fire Seed will accelerate!"
At this moment, Ying Yue's voice sounded again.
"Yes! Let's do it!"
Ye Feng pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Okay!~"
As Ying Yue's voice faded, Ye Feng and the other two instantly felt a lightness in their bodies.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!~"
Shen Yun Yao reacted quickly, instantly launching a dense volley of water-elemental arcane energy arrows, instantly piercing the chests of several explorers who were aiming their guns to shoot.
"Whoosh~ Crackle!"
"~Crackle~ Whoosh!"
Ye Feng's hands also manifested water-elemental arcane energy, forming a net in an instant, pulling the giant Stone of Hope, sweeping it across, and sending a large group of surrounding explorers flying.
"Deal!"
Seizing this opportunity, Ye Feng shouted in A Jin's direction, and then, with Xiao Xiao, Shen Yun Yao, and Ying Yue, they rushed towards a gap in the encirclement.
"Snore~"
Ye Feng and the other two, along with Ying Yue, had not run far when suddenly, the space ahead fluctuated, and a giant blood-red coffin suddenly appeared.
"Netherworld Blood Coffin!"
A cold, hoarse voice followed closely behind.
