Ye Feng turned his head and saw a red armored vehicle slowly approaching him from a considerable distance.
Behind the red armored vehicle, a large horde of zombies was running up from a slope.
A group of zombies also ran up from a slope in front of the armored vehicle, and the two groups surrounded the red armored vehicle.
"Hmm?"
Ye Feng narrowed his eyes.
He noticed that the zombies that had just rushed up did not seem like ordinary zombies. Many had grown exoskeletons on their exteriors, and they were exceptionally ferocious.
These were not the shambling, slow-moving zombies, but fast-running, even jumping zombies!
Ye Feng estimated them to be at least first-tier zombies!
As the red armored vehicle drove forward, a large number of ferocious exoskeleton zombies followed.
Unable to help himself, Ye Feng took out his AK47, preparing to fire.
But just then, the passenger window of the heavily besieged red armored vehicle slowly rolled down.
A slender hand slowly emerged.
"Bang!~"
"Cackle, crackle~ Cack………."
A dull explosive sound suddenly rang out, followed by a series of freezing sounds.
"This sound!~"
Ye Feng's expression changed slightly, as he had heard this sound before in the dense fog when he encountered the skeleton spiders.
Immediately after, he saw the zombies that had heavily surrounded the red armored vehicle being instantly frozen.
The zombies in front of the red armored vehicle, after being frozen, were smashed into pieces by the vehicle...
"This... someone who instantly froze hundreds or thousands of skeleton spiders in the fog... and even froze and killed that forty-meter-tall giant... is inside that red armored vehicle?"
Seeing this, Ye Feng immediately recalled the scenes he had witnessed before, his face filled with deep shock.
...
Soon,
The red armored vehicle drove up beside the Hummer.
Jiang Si Shan, the driver of the armored vehicle, rolled down his window and waved at Ye Feng. It was he who had shouted at Ye Feng earlier.
"Kid, how about it, this deal is absolutely worthwhile!~"
"I can't guarantee safety in the inner city, but staying with us, safety in the outer city of the City of Despair is quite well-protected~"
Jiang Si Shan spoke again.
"Uh... we encountered a lot of danger along the way."
"I accidentally dropped that survival coin during the fight!"
Although he didn't know why, since a complete survival coin was so highly valued by these people with incredible combat power, he was even less likely to give it away.
"Kid, don't push your luck!"
The man with the bulbous nose in the back seat, Bi Mao, immediately became enraged. His eyes revealed murderous intent, clearly considering robbery and murder!
Obviously, he had concluded that Ye Feng was making excuses.
"Huh?!"
Ye Feng was surprised but remained calm.
His expression was solemn, and his eyes narrowed. His finger had already landed on the trigger of the AK47's grenade launcher.
Although there was someone in the red armored vehicle with extraordinary combat power,
Ye Feng speculated that bullets or bombs could likely cause them serious harm.
Otherwise, the other party wouldn't be sitting inside an armored vehicle, nor would they have frozen those skeleton spiders.
After all, although those skeleton spiders were huge and numerous, filling the entire fog,
they mostly only spat silk, tore with their sharp mouthparts, and used their hard and sharp legs to cut...
"Xiao Shan, forget it!~ The main business is more important!"
Just as the situation became tense, the flower-masked person in the passenger seat spoke.
"Alright, I'll listen to you!"
Jiang Si Shan, the driver, rolled up the window and stepped on the gas.
"Boom!~"
The entire armored vehicle instantly overtook Ye Feng's Hummer and sped forward.
"Whoosh, Rumble!~"
Under Ye Feng's watchful eyes, the door of the red armored vehicle opened.
A fireball covered in spikes shot out, instantly blowing the heads off several zombies rushing up the slope...
The red armored vehicle drove to another slope, and the flower-masked person acted again.
"Bang!~"
With a loud bang, a wave of immense cold swept out, instantly freezing the horde of zombies surging up the slope.
When the wind blew, Ye Feng and the others felt a hint of coolness in the air.
Then, the red armored vehicle directly charged down the slope, without any evasion, smashing all the ice sculptures of zombies blocking the way...
Before long, the red armored vehicle disappeared from Ye Feng's sight.
...
Inside the red armored vehicle,
"Boss Bing, that kid was clearly making an excuse just now!"
"How could he possibly lose something as important as an Arcane Yuan Coin~"
"That kid has no Arcane energy fluctuations on him, so it's useless to have it, why didn't you..."
Bi Mao looked at the flower-masked person, full of regret.
"That's right, Boss Bing. As long as you make a move, wouldn't it be easy to get?"
Mei You, who had just thrown out a fireball, also chimed in.
The flower-masked person did not speak, but turned and gave Bi Mao and Mei You a deep look...
...
Inside the military Hummer,
"Little guy, why so dejected?"
Ling Xi looked at Ye Feng, who was driving, and smiled slightly.
"I..."
Ye Feng opened his mouth but found it difficult to speak.
Before, he thought he was quite strong, but after witnessing the power of the people inside the red armored vehicle, it was simply outrageous...
"It's just Arcane energy~ No need to be too surprised~"
Ling Xi seemed to see through Ye Feng's thoughts and said softly.
"Arcane energy?"
Ye Feng frowned and looked at Ling Xi with a curious gaze.
"Do you remember the Arcane raw stone you took out earlier? It contained Arcane energy~"
"It is precisely because it contains Arcane energy that a space rift fragment with a volume of only 1 cubic meter can use it to form a larger storage space!~"
"And the space rift fragment itself contains Arcane energy~"
"The reason we have a limit on the number of times we can retrieve items from the space rift is that each retrieval consumes Arcane energy~"
"When the Arcane energy within the space rift is depleted, the space rift becomes useless and vanishes into nothingness..."
Ling Xi slowly explained to Ye Feng.
"What that flower-masked person just did, instantly freezing external objects, is essentially an application of Arcane energy~"
"The one who throws fireballs is also like that!"
She paused and added again.
"Is Arcane energy so magical... You know so much?"
Ye Feng looked at Ling Xi with great surprise.
"It's alright~"
Ling Xi smiled slightly and looked at Ye Feng with a look of curiosity and confusion, "The application of Arcane energy is not a particularly profound thing~"
"Compared to that, I'm more curious, how did you get so strong?"
"Training with that big rock doesn't seem like a way to make you this strong!"
"And there are many things about you that I can't understand at all, like that Tang sword!"
As she spoke, Ling Xi looked Ye Feng up and down.
"Quick, while it's still here, charge in along that ice path!~"
Ye Feng was pondering Ling Xi's words when suddenly, a loud shout rang out.
...
