Ye Feng turned his head and was immediately shocked and tense.
The mountain seemed to have been attacked, suddenly cracking open with countless fine seams, from which a dazzling scarlet light emanated.
Following this, the entire mountain bulged outward and instantly exploded.
"Holy crap! The mountain exploded?"
Seeing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but exclaim, his expression quite tense, as stones were already flying towards them.
"Arcane Wind Wings!"
"Arcane Water Shield!"
"Arcane Storm!"
"Arcane Water Curtain!"
...
Seeing this, everyone cast various arcane energy arts for defense, while Jiang Si Shan flew to Ye Feng's side, unfurled a pair of wind wings, and pulled Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao away from the mountain.
"Bang bang~! ... Boom~! Clang~..."
Another series of sounds of fighting and explosions ensued, the mountain collapsing even more severely. Many members of Ocean Paradise were hit by flying rocks, screaming as they fell.
Ye Feng's parachute was punctured by sharp little stones, but fortunately, with Jiang Si Shan's help, he didn't fall directly...
With Jiang Si Shan's assistance, Ye Feng flew a considerable distance. He looked at the mountain where they had been, astonishment on his face.
The mountain, which had previously towered majestically into the clouds, was now gradually collapsing from its waist due to the battle between Su Jian Ying, the woman in white, and Zhao Gong Zi...
A large amount of rock and soil rolled down from the mountainside. Without support, the rocks above rapidly fractured and fell, smashing into the mountainside and triggering a new round of collapse.
The entire mountain collapsed like a falling domino, a chain reaction that created a truly awe-inspiring scene...
After a considerable amount of time, Ye Feng and the others finally landed safely on the ground.
In the sky not far from them, a massive amount of soil and sand continued to churn outward, the sound deafening, like a prehistoric beast composed of giant rocks and dust, roaring down from the sky – it was the collapsed mountain itself...
"The mountain... the mountain collapsed..."
"Was it... was it caused by the fight just now?"
"What... what the hell... is this really the kind of destruction humans can cause?"
"Those people seemed to mention gods or something..."
...
A group of people from Ocean Paradise stared at the collapsing mountain with utterly astonished eyes, murmuring to themselves.
Ye Feng was also deeply shocked, the destructive power far surpassing his previous understanding of combat!
"Hm?"
Suddenly, Ye Feng's eyes narrowed, his expression a mixture of surprise and confusion.
After the mountain collapsed, he noticed that amidst the vast dust, a slender yet incredibly thick and equally sky-high object stood erect.
It vaguely exuded a green aura, its height comparable to the collapsed mountain, seemingly revealed after the mountain's collapse.
This object must have been hidden within the mountain, its very tip...
Seeing this, Ye Feng suddenly took out his binoculars to investigate.
"Wh-what?"
Ye Feng gasped, his eyes wide as he looked through the binoculars.
The green-hued object he had seen from afar was actually a lush and verdant, giant plant.
At the top of this massive green plant was a structure resembling a crown, which perfectly supported the temple he had seen on the mountain peak earlier...
"What is this thing? Plants can live inside a mountain? And the height is just absurd..."
Ye Feng marveled.
"This peculiar wood-attribute arcane energy... could it be... Rebirth Wood?!"
At this moment, Xue Ling Yun's voice, filled with disbelief, rang out.
Her gaze, like Ye Feng's, was fixed on the giant plant revealed after the mountain's collapse!
"Yu Li, you're saying that towering giant plant is the Rebirth Wood you've been searching for?"
Ye Feng turned to Xue Yu Li, frowning.
"Mm-hmm~!"
Xue Yu Li nodded vigorously, "This peculiar feeling... there's no mistake... it was this unique arcane energy fluctuation... I felt something similar when I found Crescent Moon Spring..."
"No wonder the wood-attribute arcane energy I sensed on the mountain peak was the strongest. It turns out part of the Rebirth Wood was attached to the temple..."
"Mother, twenty years, twenty years... I've finally found it! Finally..."
Xue Yu Li's voice was filled with unconcealed excitement and emotion; tears even welled up.
"Uh... Yu Li, even if that giant plant is the Rebirth Wood you mentioned, how do you plan to use it to turn the desert into an oasis..."
"And that Blood Skull, or Su Jian Ying, for that matter. With him around... you..."
Though cruel, Ye Feng voiced his concerns.
Honestly, having witnessed the battle between Su Jian Ying, the woman in white, and the others, Ye Feng no longer wanted to stay in this place and wished to escape quickly...
"Ye Feng, let's leave this place first. We can talk about Rebirth Wood later!"
Xue Yu Li naturally understood Ye Feng's worries, and to be honest, she was also a bit panicked to stay here any longer...
"Bang~! Boom~!"
At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from the sky, followed by a burst of fire.
Subsequently, three figures flew over rapidly, landing with a "plop" near Ye Feng and the others, instantly creating three large pits in the ground, which rapidly cracked open.
"Hmph, see? This is the power of a god!"
"You two, despite your strength, are merely stronger ants, yet you dare to challenge a god!"
Su Jian Ying, enveloped in black mist, was the first to emerge from a large pit, appearing completely unharmed.
The woman in white and Zhao Gong Zi then appeared from the pits, their expressions solemn, their gazes fixed warily on Su Jian Ying.
The woman in white was relatively fine, merely covered in dust.
Zhao Gong Zi, however, had multiple wounds. Strange black mist coiled around the wounds, preventing the blood from coagulating, causing it to flow continuously, staining a large portion of his clothes...
Neither Su Jian Ying nor the woman in white made a move; they simply eyed each other with caution.
"Crack~!"
Suddenly, a dry twig under Ye Feng's foot snapped.
"Damn it!"
Hearing the sound, Ye Feng was furious.
Why did the twig break now, of all times? This single sound instantly drew the attention of Su Jian Ying, the woman in white, and Zhao Gong Zi.
"Chirp!~"
Su Jian Ying stuck out his scarlet tongue and licked his lips, a ferocious glint in his eyes. The next second, he lunged towards Ye Feng.
"So... fast!"
The thought had barely formed in Ye Feng's mind before Su Jian Ying was already beside him, a blood-red hand lunging ferociously towards his chest...
"Bang!"
A muffled impact, so heavy it seemed to echo, instantly rang out.
"Urk! Oof!"
A suppressed cry of immense pain followed closely.
