Tang Yiyi was supporting Pang Zhi as they walked when a sudden alarm went off in her mind! She instinctively dodged, catching sight out of the corner of her eye of a tree root rapidly appearing at the spot where she had just been standing!
This discovery sent a chill through Tang Yiyi’s heart as she couldn’t help but think that if she hadn’t dodged, her ankle might have been entangled by the root!
The surface of the root was very rough, yet its movents were exceptionally agile, like a snake. It missed the first attack but ca at Tang Yiyi again!
Tang Yiyi’s gaze turned cold, and she instantly cast a ball of fla from her hand, striking the tree root precisely. Although her flas couldn’t match those of the Red Refining Snake and lacked fire poison, they were not to be underestimated. Moreover, the opponent was a Mutated Plant, belonging to the Wood Elent, which was countered by her Fire Elent!
As the flas hit the root and enveloped it, Tang Yiyi suddenly heard a piercingly sharp scream. The scream didn’t sound human, nor like any animal; it was hard to describe yet intensely shrill and grating.
Then, as if enraged, the previously flat ground suddenly began to shake, and thick roots, each as thick as an adult’s arm, burst through the earth with sharp tips stabbing crazily toward Tang Yiyi and Pang Zhi!
Tang Yiyi’s heart tightened; how could she not understand that she had run into a tough opponent? This was at least a Third Level Mutated Plant!
Realizing this, Tang Yiyi couldn’t help but curse inwardly. She couldn’t fathom why a Third Level Mutated Plant would appear in the First Level Hunting Area. What was the patrol doing?
But now there was no ti to think. Countless roots were swarming toward her, the chilling intent seemingly becoming tangible. It would have been easier for her to escape alone, but with Pang Zhi, how could she flee?
There was simply no way out!
However, Tang Yiyi did not panic. As the roots closed in, she raised her hand and waved, and a tall Fire Wall appeared in front of her!
Soon, the roots struck the Fire Wall with force. At that instant, Tang Yiyi heard an even more ear-piercing scream, so sharp that it left her montarily dazed. But the next mont, a cool chill spread through her body, bringing her back to clarity instantly.
Once clear, she saw that the tips of the roots had already pierced through the Fire Wall, writhing and clawing as they pressed closer. She smiled coldly, and a surge of Fire Elent Energy burst from her, instantly thickening the thinning Fire Wall and incinerating the roots piercing through to ash.
Behind the Fire Wall, countless roots continued to struggle, trying to penetrate this barrier, while on the other side, Tang Yiyi had retrieved a food container from the System Backpack and was eating generously.
Inside the food box was Second Level Red Fire Scorpion at, which she had hunted and prepared so ti ago. At this mont, she felt the Fire Elent Energy continuously filling her body, grateful for her foresight. Otherwise, if her Superpower ran out, she would be at the rcy of others!
Not far off, after dealing with three Red Refining Snakes, Song Yunxiu, who had been pursuing them, saw the towering blaze and changed direction, racing toward it.
Tang Yiyi placed Pang Zhi by her side, while simultaneously channeling her Superpower to maintain the Fire Wall and devouring the Red Fire Scorpion at from the food box to replenish her Fire Elent Energy.
Just as Song Yunxiu arrived, she finished what was in the food box. As soon as she put the box away, she heard the sound of a blade being drawn!
"Who’s there?" Tang Yiyi demanded in suspicion, instinctively taking a defensive stance. She glanced at the burning war vehicle nearby and regretted bringing Pang Zhi along.
The distance was too far, and she had no assurance of controlling the flas. If the other party harbored ill intentions, she couldn’t be sure of protecting Pang Zhi!
anwhile, Song Yunxiu swung his blade, slicing through the writhing roots! The sword in his hand was long and slender, similar to a katana, yet distinct. At this mont, he also glanced at the burning war vehicle.
Since he was further away earlier, upon seeing the blaze here, he had thought a Red Refining Snake was rampaging. Only upon nearing did he realize it wasn’t a Red Refining Snake but Mutated Plants attacking a Fire Ability User. And the Fire Wall he saw had indeed been conjured by that user.
Nevertheless, his trip wasn’t wasted. The flas raging on the war vehicle were clearly from a Red Refining Snake, aning that a Red Refining Snake had been here.
Hence, the Fire Ability User should know sothing.
He redirected his gaze back to the Fire Wall. His eyes were amber, slightly pale in color, and at this mont, they held an eerie glint. If observed closely, one would notice ripples suddenly appearing in the reflection of the Fire Wall in his pupils, which then gradually beca clear, revealing the figures of Tang Yiyi and Pang Zhi.
Pang Zhi was slumped on the ground, leaning against Tang Yiyi, who, in turn, held a black Fire Whip in her hand, looking coldly at the Fire Wall, as if facing a formidable foe!
Tang Yiyi’s form-fitting battle armor perfectly outlined her magnificent curves. Song Yunxiu noticed this, and couldn’t help but think—this person’s physique was very similar to hers!
Then suddenly, he raised an eyebrow in surprise and uttered a "hmm" of curiosity! Judging by the Fire Wall, the person should be a Second Level Fire Ability User. But except for the hands actively channeling energy, he couldn’t detect any energy fluctuations from this woman!
This kind of situation was theoretically impossible unless she had so ans to conceal energy fluctuations!
Because of this discovery, Song Yunxiu grew even more curious about Tang Yiyi. At this mont, he suddenly felt an urge to et Tang Yiyi, not to probe for clues about the Red Refining Snake, but simply because of who she was!
So he spoke aloud, "The Mutated Plant has retreated. I an you no harm; you can dispel the Fire Wall now."
To maintain the Fire Wall, a Fire Ability User had to constantly expend Fire Elent Energy. However, if the Superpower is depleted and not quickly replenished, it would be disastrous in the wild!
This was not only clear to Song Yunxiu but also to Tang Yiyi. She carefully sensed and, after confirming that the Mutated Plant was indeed gone, felt a storm of surprise in her heart!
The Mutated Plant was at least Third Level, and the other party solved it with just a slash, how powerful!
But this discovery sowhat lessened her hostility toward Song Yunxiu. Her initial concern was that Song Yunxiu might have been sent by Sun Yue to deal with Pang Zhi. Now, acknowledging that Song Yunxiu was likely a Third Level Superpower User, she believed he couldn’t be Sun Yue’s associate.
Even though Sun Yue was formidable, she was rely Pang De’s concubine, incapable of hiring soone of Song Yunxiu’s caliber! Besides, elite individuals like him always carried their pride, how could they stoop so low as to personally sche against a youth who hadn’t even awakened their Superpower?
Thus, she dispelled the Fire Wall and took the opportunity to recover much of her Fire Elent Energy before carefully scrutinizing the man opposite her. (To be continued.
