"Damn goblins, I'll kill you!"
Xiao Xiao, in her anger, surged with the angelic power of her angelic armor. With one punch, several Goblin Priest Guards who had attacked her and Ye Feng instantly turned into powder...
"Big brother..."
Xiao Xiao reached out to pull Ye Feng, but like Yuan Ling, she was repelled several meters by a force.
"Xiao Xiao, Ye Feng just ate a strange fruit, and there's an extremely powerful force within him."
"Ye Feng is currently in a special state, possibly absorbing and digesting that power. We shouldn't rashly touch him!"
Yuan Ling flashed to Xiao Xiao's side and quickly explained.
After speaking, the Xue Yi in Yuan Ling's hand slashed out rapidly, repelling the Goblin Paladin who was approaching Ye Feng.
Almost simultaneously, the ground next to Ye Feng rose into an arc-shaped wall, which soon resembled a bunker, protecting Ye Feng within. It was Yuan Ling's doing.
The Goblin High Priest on the distant altar saw this but paid no heed. It picked up its skull staff and knocked it against the scarecrow a few more times, then satisfied, continued the summoning ritual...
"A strange fruit?"
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but recall what Ye Feng had told her last night about enhancement fruits. She glanced at Ye Feng, whose body was glowing red, and frowned slightly. She no longer tried to pull him.
"Your Highness Saintess, what... what is that goblin doing?"
"Such... such a strong pressure! It's already surpassed the Goblin Priests!"
Yala pointed to the goblin performing the summoning ritual on the distant altar, swallowing hard.
"Th-that is probably a Goblin High Priest!"
Yuan Ling's expression was grim.
"Wh-what?"
"Gob... Goblin High Priest?"
Yala was momentarily stunned.
He had previously claimed in the Adventurer's Guild that the goblin kingdom might have a Goblin High Priest as an exaggeration, to make some people back down and avoid losing their lives in vain...
"In legends, it possesses... divine power... Goblin High Priest... Does such a monster... really exist..."
Xiao Lu also looked incredulous, her hand gripping the greatbow trembling slightly.
"Let's not discuss this. Where is He Shang?"
"One Goblin Priest is missing? Was it killed by you?"
Yuan Ling looked around, frowning, and changed the subject.
The three Goblin Priests had all gone to deal with Xiao Xiao and the others earlier, but now there were only two Goblin Priests at the top of the pyramid.
"He Shang currently has little fighting power. He's hiding and using the advantageous forest to deal with and contain some ordinary goblins!"
"The missing Goblin Priest was indeed killed, but not by us. It was Xiao Xiao... she just punched that Goblin Priest's head off!"
By the end of his sentence, Yala's voice was filled with astonishment.
"The power of that armor... is also very special. A bit familiar... Is it the Angelic Armor?"
Yuan Ling looked at Xiao Xiao, who was fending off Goblin Paladins and Priest Guards not far away, preventing them from approaching Ye Feng. She was slightly surprised.
She remembered that among the patterns on the altar, there was an inverted angel wearing a silver armor similar to Xiao Xiao's.
"Quack!~"
"Damn angels! Kill them all!"
At this moment, the Goblin High Priest on the altar also noticed Xiao Xiao. It let out a gnashing sound and pointed its skull staff at Xiao Xiao's location.
"Quack~ Quack!~"
The group of goblins seemed to be stimulated as well. They glared fiercely, their eyes almost tearing open, and rushed towards Xiao Xiao, no longer caring about Yuan Ling's group.
"Protect Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao!"
Before Yuan Ling could finish speaking, she clenched Xue Yi and charged forward, with Yala and Xiao Lu closely following.
As for Ye Feng, the intense pain throughout his body made his consciousness blurry. He couldn't even tell if the pain was from the Goblin High Priest's attack on the scarecrow or from the burning sensation of the enhancement fruit's power...
Of course, Ye Feng couldn't bother with the physical pain at this moment. His consciousness seemed to have been pulled into a room with a [Personal Information] panel.
The next second, countless strange and chaotic motion patterns flooded his mind, making his head feel like it was about to explode.
These strange motion patterns contained some profound regularity and flashed wildly in Ye Feng's mind, as if trying to convey some information, but Ye Feng couldn't quite discern it... Moreover, the immense pain in his body and mind made it almost impossible to think...
As the strange motion patterns flashed madly, Ye Feng's head grew more swollen and painful, making his brain increasingly hazy...
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Ye Feng let out a surprised sound.
Because he discovered that among those strange motion patterns, one of them exuded a peculiar rhythm, which he seemed to have seen something similar before...
"It's that strange old man in plain clothes..."
Ye Feng endured the severe pain and his increasingly hazy mind, finally remembering.
The rhythm emanating from that motion pattern was similar to that of the old man he had seen in a picturesque farmhouse when he was holding his Tang saber and entered a hallucination. The old man had drawn a branch diagonally across the sky at that time...
Once Ye Feng identified this strange motion pattern, the other chaotic and miscellaneous patterns seemed to have a guide. They stopped jumping randomly and gradually began to sort themselves out...
And the swelling pain and haziness in Ye Feng's mind gradually subsided...
While Ye Feng was curiously watching the sorting of the strange motion patterns in his mind, his body was in a terrible state...
"Big brother, wake up quickly!"
After repelling the Goblin Paladin's attack, Xiao Xiao anxiously shouted at Ye Feng, because as the red light surged through Ye Feng's body, his flesh and blood were constantly turning into powder and scattering in the wind...
"Xiao Xiao, do you know what Ye Feng ate?"
"The power of the fruit he ate is too immense, his body can't withstand it, and it's starting to break down!"
Yuan Ling observed Ye Feng for a while and said, her expression equally anxious.
"It seems to be called an enhancement fruit... Big brother said he would take it as a last resort when his life was in danger... I'm not too sure!"
Seeing Ye Feng's skin cracking into countless small pieces, like a shattered porcelain doll, Xiao Xiao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"The power is too great, it needs someone to share it!"
Yuan Ling frowned, her face blushing slightly. She said to Xiao Xiao and the others, "Hold on for a while, I'll share some of the power with Ye Feng!"
Saying this, Yuan Ling used Xue Yi to repel the Goblin Priests and Priest Guards behind her. With a flash, she arrived beside Ye Feng.
She quickly squatted down, her purple eyes flashed with light, and the space around Ye Feng distorted. The surging red light seemed to be transferred elsewhere.
Under the puzzled gaze of Xiao Xiao, Xiao Lu, and the others, Yuan Ling's full red lips kissed Ye Feng...
