Instantly, Ye Feng looked at Xiao Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, now!"
After speaking, he leaped upwards, a flash of light in his hand, and two large barrels of gasoline appeared, which he threw at the dense swarm of energy-devouring locusts flying over.
At almost the same moment, with a flash of light in Ye Feng's hand, a cold gleam swept across. The two barrels of gasoline were instantly cut in half by the Tang knife, and the gasoline sprayed out violently, falling precisely on the swarm of energy-devouring locusts flying over.
By then, Xiao Xiao had already conjured two large orbs of arcane energy fireballs.
"Boom~ Bang~ Boom~"
The fireballs came into contact with the large amount of gasoline, instantly igniting an explosion, and the entire sky was engulfed in flames in an instant...
"Bang~ Bang bang~ Boom~ Bang~!"
During this time, Ye Feng threw in several napalm bombs and grenades.
Previously, Ye Feng had observed that these energy-devouring locusts were similar to the black insects in the scorpion ponds of the underground structures. They did appear to be able to devour flames, but upon closer inspection, they devoured the arcane energy within the flames, and the flames could still inflict damage on them.
It was just that some insects, after devouring fire-elemental arcane energy, had evolved, and the flames did not harm them...
"Boom~ Hiss~ Hiss~ Boom~!"
After the violent explosion and conflagration, a large number of energy-devouring locusts turned to ash or were burned and fell to the ground. A clear space appeared in the dense swarm of insects in the sky.
"Huh?"
As Ye Feng was about to continue his actions, he suddenly looked surprised.
This was because Wen Jie Jie, who had been carrying Xu Xun and flying, suddenly made a sharp turn and hovered, then threw Xu Xun to the ground.
"Wen Jie Jie, you damn..."
"Slap~!"
"Ah~!..."
Xu Xun struggled to get up and was about to curse when Wen Jie Jie, who had returned to human form upon landing, slapped him across the cheek.
The slap from Wen Jie Jie was quite forceful, causing Xu Xun to spin around, several teeth knocked out, and he fell back to the ground.
"You... you... you dare hit me?"
Xu Xun, with blood constantly trickling from his mouth, looked at Wen Jie Jie with disbelief. His voice was drowned out by the buzzing of the numerous energy-devouring locusts surrounding them.
Wen Jie Jie ignored Xu Xun and looked at Ye Feng, "Do you have medicine?"
"What?"
Wen Jie Jie's words left Ye Feng somewhat bewildered.
What was this all about?
"Do you have medicine? Medications for colds, fever, and inflammation, or even medicine for fractures would also work!"
After a pause, Wen Jie Jie spoke again.
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng frowned. "We don't seem to know each other well, do we?"
"If you have the medicine I need, I can trade you the Necromancer's Secret Records!"
As he spoke, a flash of light appeared in Wen Jie Jie's hand, and a rather old-looking parchment scroll materialized.
"Wen Jie Jie, you damn... Ah..."
Xu Xun's words were cut short by a scream. Wen Jie Jie had thrown a flying knife with a wave of his hand, piercing through Xu Xun's thigh.
Despite this, Xu Xun did not look back. His gaze was fixed on Ye Feng, with clear hope in his eyes.
"So many energy-devouring locusts... it doesn't look like you're here to trade with me!"
Ye Feng glanced at the densely packed swarm of energy-devouring locusts circling around them and replied indifferently.
"These energy-devouring locusts are not under my control to attack you. Something on your body has attracted them, and this attraction is not ordinary; it goes beyond the scope of normal arcane energy..."
"It might be related to the arcane energy you revealed when you killed the gargoyle earlier. Your arcane energy fluctuations are quite unique..."
"In fact, I'm working hard to control these energy-devouring locusts and prevent them from attacking you!"
Wen Jie Jie blinked slightly and quickly explained to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng did not reply. He observed Wen Jie Jie for a good while before slowly speaking, "Back in the underground structures, you intentionally let Volt Chicken go, didn't you?"
"Yes!"
Wen Jie Jie nodded slightly.
"Were your wife and child threatened by that scoundrel Xu Xun?"
After a pause, Ye Feng asked again.
"Yes!"
"My wife fractured her leg while fleeing with me, and my three-year-old son has a severe cold. Now... both of them have severe colds..."
"The Xu family promised to give me medicine, but based on my observations, they might not have such medicine themselves! The medicine packaging they gave me before was just to keep me hooked!"
Wen Jie Jie glanced at Xu Xun and replied.
"Just a cold, and it makes a strong person like you so subservient?"
Ye Feng looked at Xu Xun and then at the wound on Wen Jie Jie's head, which was broken by a wine bottle, and frowned.
"Before the cataclysm, a cold was certainly not a serious illness. But in this post-apocalyptic world where medicine is almost extinct, people die from minor colds by the thousands!"
Wen Jie Jie let out a long sigh. "Especially when one is already injured and their immunity is weakened!"
"How did you know I would have medicine? This is only our second meeting, right?"
Ye Feng looked somewhat puzzled.
"Back at the Tyrannosaurus Rex base's market, I had already seen you... I guessed that since you possessed such a rare item as sanitary napkins..."
"Then you likely possess equally rare medicine!"
Wen Jie Jie's speech remained quite rapid.
"The Tyrannosaurus Rex base's market? Sanitary napkins? Kid, are you Zeng A Niu?"
"I knew it... No wonder I felt you were so displeasing when we were in the underground structures!"
"Ah!~..."
At this moment, Xu Xun's voice was heard, but it again turned into a scream. Ye Feng had flicked a pebble with his toe, hitting Xu Xun's swollen cheek precisely.
"What do you say? Do you have cold medicine? Antiseptics, fever reducers, anything like that would also work!"
"If the Necromancer's Secret Records are not enough, I can add two bottles of enhanced serum, though you might not be interested!"
Wen Jie Jie ignored the screaming Xu Xun and spoke to Ye Feng again.
"Necromancer's Secret Records? Necromancer? What is that?"
Ye Feng asked the question that had been puzzling him.
"Since you are an arcane energy practitioner, you must have heard of arcane talismans. To create powerful arcane talismans, being an arcane energy practitioner alone is not enough; one must also become a Necromancer!"
"Necromancers possess extremely strong mental power, allowing them to control some arcane energy monsters and also launch mental attacks!"
Wen Jie Jie seemed quite surprised by Ye Feng's question.
"Arcane Talismans!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's interest was immediately piqued.
After all, back in the dunes, the talisman held by Zhao Gong Zi, who had appeared with the mysterious white-robed woman Yue Fei Xue, seemed to be an arcane talisman, and it was incredibly powerful, capable of attacking ghost soldiers...
"Fracture, you say!"
A flash of light appeared in Ye Feng's hand, and he tossed a section of Steel Scale Bear's spine to Wen Jie Jie. "Can I see the Necromancer's Secret Records first?"
"This... This is a Steel Scale Bear's bone?"
Looking at the bone in his hand, Wen Jie Jie was shocked, but he quickly reacted and handed the ancient scroll to Ye Feng.
After a brief perusal, a flash of light appeared in Ye Feng's hand, and three packs of Gan Mao Ling and three anti-inflammatory pills instantly materialized. "Take these for now. I don't have much medicine myself; we'll see about the rest later!"
"Alright, thank you!"
Wen Jie Jie's eyes reddened, and he took the medicine with a trembling body.
"By the way, this Xu Xun, do you want him?"
After carefully putting the cold medicine and anti-inflammatory pills into his pocket, Wen Jie Jie pointed at Xu Xun and asked.
