Hearing Shen Yunyao's words, Ye Feng, who was being fed small pieces of bread by Xiao Xiao, immediately moved his head and looked in Shen Yunyao's direction, his eyes also filled with curiosity.
Before, when he killed the bugs that escaped from Wang Bantian's Black Mist Five Rings, the other party also said that his flames were somewhat special, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to burn the Ghoul Mother Insect to death!
At this moment, the sky had already darkened considerably. The red flames on the Wutong wooden sword danced gently with the wind, emitting strange energy fluctuations and giving off a mysterious feeling.
"This..."
Shen Potian frowned slightly and said slowly, "That is the power of a phoenix!"
"Phoenix?"
"Grandpa, do such creatures really exist?"
Hearing Shen Potian's words, Shen Yunyao's eyes widened in surprise.
"I... I suppose so... Although I haven't seen one myself..."
Shen Potian scratched his head. "This Wutong wooden sword was given to me by a mysterious elder by chance!"
"Legend has it that this sword is made from Wutong wood soaked in phoenix blood, and the red flames dancing on it contain the power of a phoenix..."
"Phoenix power is very special and is a nemesis to many evil things, somewhat similar to the angelic power that Miss Xiao Xiao used before..."
"Perhaps my strength is insufficient, or perhaps the method is incorrect. When I use this phoenix power, I am often burned..."
As he spoke, Shen Potian sighed, a look of regret on his face.
He then looked at Shen Yunyao and then at Ye Feng, "Actually, I've doubted many things before, as they were too ethereal... Until I saw you, I believed again..."
With Ye Feng looking somewhat confused, Shen Potian spoke again, "Ye Feng, judging from the power you used before, you should be the most powerful Divine Dragon Clan among the ancient clans, possessing the power of a Divine Dragon!"
"Wh... What?"
"Ancient clans? Divine Dragon Clan?"
When Shen Potian mentioned this to Shen Yunyao before, Ye Feng was fighting with Joseph and didn't know about it. Hearing this now, he was immediately shocked and bewildered.
"You don't know?"
Ye Feng's reaction greatly surprised Shen Potian. "Then how did you use that power just now... that dragon flame that burned Wang Bantian's Ghoul Mother Insect to death..."
"Uh... That's called dragon flame..."
Ye Feng was very surprised. Before, he had only acted instinctively, and the flames had appeared...
"Big brother, so you're a dragon, no wonder you breathed fire just now!"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao's happy and delighted voice rang out, clearly impressed by the scene of Ye Feng spitting flames from his mouth earlier...
"Uh..."
Ye Feng was speechless.
...
Afterward, Ye Feng and the others continued to rest in place, with Shen Yunyao occasionally killing a monster that ran over.
...
Night had completely fallen, and the sky was filled with brilliant starlight. The Mech City, however, was burning everywhere, with occasional roars of monsters, screams of humans, and sounds of fighting, all rather chaotic.
"Bang bang bang!~"
At this moment, hurried footsteps could be heard from afar. Shen Yunyao immediately drew her weapon and walked a few steps towards the source of the sound, her expression vigilant.
"Young Miss!"
"City Lord!"
Soon, two male voices that Ye Feng was familiar with rang out. They were Shen Qing and Shen Bai.
Another series of rapid footsteps followed, and then Ye Feng saw a group of people approaching not far from him and Shen Potian.
Shen Qing and Shen Bai were at the front. Both of them were looking somewhat disheveled, with many wounds on their bodies, some of which were still bleeding.
Behind Shen Qing and Shen Bai were people in similar conditions, who looked quite capable. Many of them were wearing white coats and appeared to be medical personnel...
"Cough cough!~"
At this moment, Shen Potian coughed lightly, stood up, and walked towards Shen Qing and Shen Bai. "You're here. How is the situation in Mech City?"
"City Lord, the rat tide and monsters outside Mech City were basically turned to ash by a beam of light, leaving only a few monsters, most of which have fled..."
"The situation inside the city is more troublesome. There are people who self-destruct everywhere... all sorts of miscellaneous monsters that can't be named... and a large group of looters..."
"...Cangshi has only half his life left..."
...
Shen Qing and Shen Bai sat on a rock, quickly reporting the situation to Shen Potian, while the medical personnel stepped forward to quickly examine, treat, and bandage Shen Potian and the others...
Before long, Shen Qing left a few liaisons, and then he and Shen Bai took their men to clear out the remaining enemies in Mech City.
...
The next day,
Inside the tent,
After a night's rest, Ye Feng's body could finally move.
Ye Feng, who had been lying on the ground all night, stood up. He scanned the surrounding ruins, then took out bags of food and walked to another tent, waking Xiao Xiao to prepare breakfast.
Soon, Xiao Xiao, still groggy, emerged from the tent, followed closely by a yawning Shen Yunyao.
"It seems being a city lord isn't that easy either~"
Looking at Shen Potian, who was quickly giving instructions to a few figures in the distance, Ye Feng couldn't help but mutter.
He remembered that late last night, after he, Xiao Xiao, and Shen Yunyao had gone to sleep, Shen Potian had not yet rested. Now, at dawn, the man was already there... He didn't know if he had rested at all last night...
Afterward, Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, and Shen Yunyao found a relatively flat spot and began to eat breakfast.
Xiao Xiao and Shen Yunyao ate and drank while sitting, but Ye Feng, whose butt had been pierced with two large holes by Chu Xin yesterday, could only stand awkwardly.
As for Shen Potian, he was still busy with his subordinates...
Not long after,
Mechs began to arrive one after another in the area where Ye Feng and the others were, starting to clear the ruins. Shen Potian also finally walked over to the few of them and ate breakfast together.
"Gulp~ Gurgle!~"
A mech was moving a large stone when a strange cry suddenly came from underneath. A monster with an alligator's head, walking upright, suddenly sprang out.
"Thump~ Bang!"
Seeing this, the mech reacted quickly, smashing the large stone down, directly crushing the alligator-headed monster.
"Um... Senior Shen, do you know Kolaki?"
Seeing the monster that grew from the glass sphere thrown by Sphinx again, Ye Feng couldn't help but ask. He was quite curious about this thing.
"Kolaki?"
Hearing the name, Shen Potian's expression changed slightly. "Ye Feng, you're asking about this Kolaki... because of those monsters that Sphinx created?"
As he spoke, Shen Potian also looked in the direction of the monster Ye Feng was staring at.
"Yes!"
Ye Feng nodded slightly, somewhat surprised that Shen Potian had guessed this.
"Kolaki... I investigated him before. It is said that he is a high-ranking official in the Brad Base..."
"This person is extremely mysterious. Almost no one has seen his true appearance, and his strength is also a mystery... This person is also very sinister, often abducting people to conduct all sorts of horrific experiments..."
"The miscellaneous, unnameable monsters from the Brad Base are said to have come from him..."
Saying this, Shen Potian suddenly turned to look at Xiao Xiao.
"Wh... What is it?"
Xiao Xiao, who was enthusiastically gnawing on a braised duck leg, looked at Shen Potian looking at her and asked with some confusion.
...
