"Big brother, what's going on?"
Little Xiao almost fell when Ye Feng suddenly stopped her. She looked at Ye Feng in confusion.
Shen Yun Yao, whose bulging chest rippled when it was patted, also blushed and looked at Ye Feng with doubt.
"There's no road ahead!"
Saying that, Ye Feng gently kicked a stone on the ground towards the opening of light ahead.
After crossing the opening, the stone fell straight down.
Little Xiao and Shen Yun Yao cautiously approached the opening of light. As they got closer, both women felt the wind blowing in.
When they peeked out, they immediately realized that there was no road outside the opening of light, nor was it a lake. They were in mid-air, with nothing but emptiness below.
Unconsciously, Little Xiao and Shen Yun Yao turned their confused gazes to Ying Yue, while Ye Feng frowned in thought.
"Uh... this opening was formed because the space was unstable earlier, and part of the wall was torn and fell. It's the fastest and most reliable way to leave the control core!"
"The other routes are very unstable in space!"
Ying Yue spread her hands helplessly.
"Ye Feng... this height... even with mechs... it's difficult..."
As she spoke, Shen Yun Yao conjured a ball of arcane energy in her hand, but it was absorbed by more than half in an instant, and the next second, it was gone.
"I can pause the absorption, but your time to leave here and reach the exit will be reduced, and the Styx will also be temporarily out of control..."
"Given the current state of the Civilization Spark, the Styx is unlikely to resume its previous operation!"
Ying Yue chimed in.
"Ying Yue, pause the arcane energy absorption for 3 seconds, no more!"
At this moment, Ye Feng, who was observing below with a telescope at the gap, spoke.
"Ye Feng, 3 seconds is far from enough..."
Before Shen Yun Yao could finish, Ye Feng waved his hand. "We won't use mechs, we'll use this!"
As he spoke, Ye Feng's hand flashed, and three parachute packs instantly appeared.
"There are many covetous explorers surrounding us. The pause is to make the Styx slightly out of control and distract those people..."
"Otherwise, even if we use mechs, we'll just become targets for them!"
Ye Feng said as he put a parachute on Little Xiao.
"Oh, okay~"
...
Soon,
Ye Feng and the two women put on their parachutes and walked to the bright opening. Ye Feng was still holding a very thick iron chain, the other end of which was locked to the Stone of Hope he obtained in the secret chamber of the Forbidden Area of Humans.
The three turned around and waved goodbye to Ying Yue. Little Xiao and Shen Yun Yao jumped down one after another, while Ye Feng waited for a moment before jumping.
Because he was holding a very heavy Stone of Hope, his descent speed would be much faster than the two women.
...
Below the suspended waterfall,
"Look! It seems someone is jumping down from above!"
"Huh? Why isn't the arcane energy being absorbed?"
Someone mumbled.
"Ah! Ah!~"
"Damn it, what's going on? Why has this strange river water suddenly gone out of control..."
"Ugh~ Ah!~ Run!"
...
Immediately after, screams erupted. The previously smoothly flowing Styx suddenly stopped flowing upwards and scattered in all directions.
A large group of explorers were contaminated by it, and within a few breaths, they were corroded down to their bones...
Even their weapons were severely corroded after being washed by the Styx, shrinking in size... as if they had been abandoned for decades...
In the air, Ye Feng, who had opened his parachute, looked at the chaos below with satisfaction as the explorers fled in panic.
"Sizzle~ Hiss!~"
At this moment, Ye Feng and the two women's wounds emitted a crackling sound.
"Big brother, large rocks and building walls are falling from the suspended waterfall!"
Little Xiao's worried voice followed closely.
"Is this due to spatial instability..."
Looking at the suspended waterfall above him, which was torn into several pieces, and the suspended island below, which was also split into several pieces, Ye Feng frowned.
"Bang bang bang!~ Bang bang!~"
A large amount of rocks and building components from the suspended waterfall, without parachutes, fell much faster than Ye Feng and the two women, hitting the ground heavily, making loud noises and kicking up a lot of dust and debris... greatly obscuring their vision...
As if it wasn't enough, Ye Feng took out a string of C4 bombs, napalm, smoke bombs, and flashbangs and threw them down...
"Boom~! Rumble!~"
"Whoosh!~ Ah~! Bang!~"
...
Amidst the heavy dust, flames, and thick smoke, the figures of the three landed on the ground. Ye Feng even cut the parachute ropes in mid-air...
"Over there!"
Ye Feng scanned the surroundings and quickly found the direction with the fewest people. Then, pulling the large Stone of Hope locked by the chain, he ran quickly.
Little Xiao and Shen Yun Yao followed closely.
"Kid, stop!"
"Bang bang~l Ah!~"
An explorer blocking their path was about to attack Ye Feng but was gunned down by Ye Feng's Glock 18.
"Bang~! Ah!"
"Dada~ Ah~! Da~"
"Bang~ Rumble!"
Since the suspended island absorbed arcane energy, Ye Feng and the two women had no arcane energy attacks. Instead, they used firearms and grenades.
It had to be said that these firearms were still very lethal to the vast majority of explorers!
After all, even Ye Feng, without using arcane energy or true qi, wouldn't dare to take a close-range bullet or grenade head-on...
"Careful!"
Suddenly, Ye Feng's expression changed.
Because a wall suddenly rose from the ground ahead, and a barrage of stone spikes shot towards the three like raindrops.
"Bang~ Crackle~ Clang!~!~"
After blocking a few with his bare hands, Ye Feng realized something was wrong.
Because the sharp stone spikes that were shot not only contained earth-attribute arcane energy but also metal within them.
Unconsciously, Ye Feng had to use the Stone of Hope to block the stone spikes and run in another direction.
After the stormy stone spikes, Ye Feng's peripheral vision vaguely saw a plump figure.
"Bang~ Whoosh!~"
Before Ye Feng and the two women could run far, a large ball of flame was blasted towards them.
"Retreat!"
Ye Feng had no intention of fighting the other party. He immediately adjusted his direction and continued to move forward. He just wanted to leave here.
"Whoosh!"
However, after Ye Feng and the two women adjusted their direction, they couldn't run far before a large expanse of yellow sand surged up, blocking their path.
"Yo!~ Where are you trying to go?"
Above the yellow sand, a voice that Ye Feng and the others were familiar with came, it was the Shagui, who had mysteriously disappeared from Desert Storm.
Ye Feng and the two women did not respond. They changed direction again. After running a few steps, they stopped because Ajin and the Sea Chef from the Marine Restaurant were waving at the three in front of them...
"This is really troublesome, we're surrounded!"
...
