The moment the spark bomb detonated, an incredibly blinding light, as if the sun had suddenly fallen to the earth, erupted.
Immediately after, an incomparably fierce flame, centered on the spark bomb, rolled and roared outwards, instantly turning the vines and trees of the demon forest in its path to ash. Steel bars and similar objects were instantly vaporized…
"Boom!"
A thunderclap, sounding as if it rang directly in Ye Feng and the others' ears, echoed throughout the entire area. The ground shook violently, and a colossal mushroom cloud, over three hundred meters high, rose from the roaring flames…
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
After Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, Qiao Ying, and the others entered the teleportation array, they only felt the space before their eyes distort. In the next instant, they found themselves in a camp.
"Quick, get out of the way!"
The moment Ye Feng landed, his expression drastically changed, and he shouted to those around him.
"Whoosh! Boom!"
Almost simultaneously, the teleportation array behind Ye Feng violently spewed out an incredibly fierce tongue of flame, turning everything in its path to ash. Some explorers were directly hit by the flames and instantly vaporized…
Ye Feng was also affected by the flames. Even with his true energy and water-attribute arcane energy forming a barrier, a large portion of his left arm and thigh were scorched black. His protective arcane-infused robe instantly collapsed, turning to ash!
"Quick, destroy the teleportation array!"
Ye Feng, disregarding whether anyone could hear him, shouted anxiously, his face pale. Then, he forcefully approached the teleportation array from the side, enduring the searing pain of the flames, and destroyed the closest one to him.
"Crack crack!"
"Bang! Gulu!~"
Ye Feng's true energy surged, and the rune supports forming the teleportation array were destroyed within a few breaths. The rampaging flames then subsided.
"That was close!"
Ye Feng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. The flames and shockwaves just now had come from the epicenter of the nuclear explosion. The flames and blast waves produced by the nuclear explosion had traveled through the teleportation array…
"Xiao Xiao, Qiao Ying?"
Ye Feng called out a few times but received no response. He glanced at the seven or eight long streaks of extremely hot flames not far away, frowned, and his figure flashed as he rushed over.
"Bang! Crackle~"
"Crackle~ Gulu~ Gulu!"
After a series of sounds, all seven or eight teleportation arrays were destroyed by Ye Feng, and no more flames or explosion waves passed through them.
However, the ground in front of the teleportation arrays' original locations was scorched by the flames, creating a deep and long gully filled with roaring fire…
"Xiao Xiao, Qiao Ying, Lin, how are you?"
Ye Feng looked around and shouted loudly. The three of them had entered different teleportation arrays in their haste, so they hadn't landed together. Coupled with the nuclear explosion's flames and shockwaves, he couldn't help but worry.
Ye Feng shouted for a while, but there was no reply. He also noticed that he seemed to be unable to hear anything, even his own shouts.
"This is bad!"
"Was the sound of the spark bomb too loud just now, damaging my ears?"
Ye Feng's mood became heavy. After calling out again for a while without any news from Xiao Xiao and the others, and with the surrounding flames raging and the wind loud, he decided to leap into the air to observe from above.
Thinking this, Ye Feng couldn't help but envy Qiao Ying's ability to fly directly into the sky…
"Big brother!"
Just as Ye Feng was about to act, Xiao Xiao's voice came from behind a charred giant rock.
Hearing this voice, Ye Feng's face lit up with joy, and he immediately ran towards the scorched boulder, soon finding Xiao Xiao.
At this moment, Xiao Xiao was covered in soot and smoke, but she was not injured. Beside her was Qiao Ying, in a similar state.
"Phew!"
Seeing that the two women were safe, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Big brother, you…..."
Xiao Xiao's voice was very weak. She beckoned to Ye Feng, who immediately stooped down, ready to hear what she had to say.
At that moment, Qiao Ying, beside Xiao Xiao, suddenly produced two golden long sabers, one in each hand. They stabbed towards Ye Feng's chest from left and right.
"Arcane energy, Qiao Ying, how could you?"
Ye Feng was very surprised because Qiao Ying had always used angelic power and never arcane energy.
"Whoosh!"
In Ye Feng's moment of astonishment, Xiao Xiao below him pushed out her palms, and a wind-attribute arcane energy blade stabbed towards Ye Feng's abdomen with extreme speed.
"Bang~ Keng keng!"
Ye Feng's expression drastically changed. His true energy surged, rapidly protecting himself and blocking Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying's attacks. At the same time, he exchanged a palm strike with Qiao Ying, using the force to retreat and maintain a distance from the two.
"Xiao Xiao, Qiao Ying, what are you doing?"
Ye Feng stared warily at Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying, who were some distance away. He realized that the two women seemed not right, especially Qiao Ying.
"Ah!"
"Help!"
"Young lady, what are you doing?"
"Damn it, Li Er Lengzi, when did I offend you to stab me in the back!"
"Commander Liu, why are you making a move on us!"
"Nima, why are there two iron pillars?"
…...
From the vicinity of the roaring flames, a series of screams, fighting sounds, and other miscellaneous noises could be heard.
"Big brother, I… I think my body is being controlled…"
"Ye Feng, me too!"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying spoke to Ye Feng, their expressions pained, and their movements rather peculiar.
Seeing this, Ye Feng frowned slightly and strode forward, intending to examine Xiao Xiao.
"Ah!"
As Ye Feng took two steps forward, Xiao Xiao suddenly cried out in pain and collapsed. Ye Feng instinctively flickered, quickly stepping forward to support her.
"Ye Feng, that's not Xiao Xiao!"
The moment Ye Feng touched Xiao Xiao, Qiao Ying's voice rang out, but it was somewhat distant and largely drowned out by the roaring flames.
"Die!"
In Ye Feng's confusion, the Xiao Xiao he was supporting suddenly wrapped herself around him. The "Qiao Ying" not far away also grabbed Ye Feng from behind.
Strange runes erupted from "Xiao Xiao" and "Qiao Ying" simultaneously, entangling Ye Feng. At the same time, flames burst from their bodies from the inside out.
"Bang!~ Bang! Boom!"
After a massive explosion, the area where Ye Feng stood instantly became a scorched pit about ten meters in diameter.
"Big brother!"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao's anxious voice rang out. She saw that although Ye Feng had been thrown from the center of the explosion, his entire body was blackened.
"Xiao Xiao, wait a moment!"
Just as Xiao Xiao was about to rush towards Ye Feng, Qiao Ying flashed and blocked her. Ye Feng, with burns on multiple parts of his body, retreated several meters after landing, maintaining his distance from the two women.
