Initially, Arbus had only come to find Kanzaki to annoy him. Now that Shirona had appeared out of nowhere, he naturally would not continue confronting Kanzaki like an idiot.
"Oh, it's Miss Shirona. I didn't expect you to be here. I apologize for not going out to greet you."
Arbus rolled his eyes and turned to look at Hielona. His angry expression instantly turned into a smile as he spoke to Hielona politely.
"Hmph, Kanzaki, listen up. I'll give Miss Shirona some face today and let you off. You won't be so lucky in the ruins."
"This is the desert, and I heard that the Fengyuan Alliance has been tormented by the Lava Team and the Ocean Team recently. Don't expect anyone to come and support you like last time. Just wait for your death."
Right after that, Seiji's smile turned into anger as he continued viciously issuing death threats to Kanzaki.
The moment Arbus finished speaking, he didn't even give Shirona or Kanzaki a chance to respond. He immediately turned around and left with his subordinates in a cloud of dust.
Seeing this, Kanzaki and Shirona were so angry that they wanted to teach Arbus a lesson. Kanzaki, on the other hand, looked regretful, but he did not chase after them in the end. He let Arbus disappear in front of everyone's eyes.
"Thank you, Shirona, for helping me out this time. That guy has always been at odds with me. I didn't expect him to come again this time. I'm afraid that the ruins exploration this time will cause a lot of trouble because of him."
Seeing that Arbus had left, Kanzaki slowly relaxed his clenched fists, and the anger on his face gradually disappeared. Very soon, he returned to his usual serious and calm expression. He then turned around and said to Shirona, "Thank you, Kanzaki-san, for helping me out.
Since I'm a member of the ruins exploration team, I naturally have to advance and retreat together with Kanzaki-san. If we really meet that person in the ruins, please let me deal with him. An opponent like Arbus who has been at the Heavenly King Stage for a long time is exactly what I'm looking for. "
Shirona was still very respectful towards Kanzaki. Now that Kanzaki-San had lowered himself to thank her, she quickly waved her hand and said to Kanzaki with a serious expression.
Ever since Hilona had advanced to the Heavenly King stage, she had always been searching for powerful opponents to fight with. However, she had never experienced a true life or death battle before. Because of that, her improvement speed had slowed down significantly.
This expedition into the ruins was filled with danger, and there would definitely be many life-and-death battles. However, the only person who could truly threaten her life was Kanzaki, who had been a Heavenly King for a long time.
Hence, she really hoped to have an intense Wisp battle with Arbus in the wilderness and use it to improve her Wisps.
"That's naturally not a problem. However, that fellow's power is not simple, and he's extremely cunning. He's definitely not someone those wild Heavenly King Stage Sidhe we met earlier can compare to. When the time comes, we must be careful."
From the bottom of his heart, Kanzaki didn't want to fight against Arbus in the ruins. It wasn't that he couldn't defeat Arbus, but that Arbus was far too difficult to deal with. Now that Shirona volunteered to fight, Kanzaki naturally couldn't ask for more. He agreed without even thinking about it.
After the two leaders of the ruins exploration team discussed, the team continued to set off. Soon, everyone set up a simple camp on the west side of the ruins.
However, before they could rest for a while, something big happened.
All of a sudden, a violent explosion came from the direction of the ruins. A bare-chested man with a flaming chicken quickly jumped out of the hole in the barrier.
After that, the flaming chicken, who was still inside the barrier, once again used all its strength to launch a powerful flaming kick at the barrier. At this moment, the flaming chicken's body was emitting a fiery red energy, and the sun above its head was burning fiercely. The power of the fire-type attack was greatly increased.
In an instant, another violent explosion occurred, and another hole appeared in the barrier that had already been repaired. The flaming chicken hurriedly jumped out of the barrier.
Not long after the bare-chested man and the flaming chicken came out, a large number of Mud Golems and Mud Golem Soldiers charged at them from nearby. These Wisps created by the ancients all had glaring red eyes. One look and anyone could tell that they were very angry.
Unfortunately, with the barrier in the way, these Mud Golems and Mud Golem Soldiers could only stare at them angrily. They lingered near the barrier for a while before disappearing into the sand.
When the bare-chested man and the flaming chicken saw that these Mud Golems and Mud Golem Soldiers could not come out of the barrier, they looked at each other and immediately heaved a sigh of relief. They smiled as if they had just survived a disaster.
From their current sorry state, it was not difficult to tell that the bare-chested man and the flaming chicken were very seriously injured. If they had not come out of the barrier, they would have been beaten to death by these ancient soldiers.
At the same time, the bare-chested man and the flaming chicken also attracted the attention of the people near the ruins. In less than a few minutes, the two were surrounded by many grave robbers.
However, at this time, no one dared to act rashly. After all, from the flaming chicken's ability to break the barrier alone, the bare-chested man was clearly a Heavenly King Stage trainer. Although he looked very sorry, he was not someone that any random cat or dog could deal with.
"What are you all doing, why are you surrounding me? Go away, I'm not a monkey."
The bare-chested man's temper was not very good, and seeing that he was surrounded by so many of his peers, an angry look appeared on his face. He shouted at the top of his lungs, before leading the battered flaming chicken towards the west side.
Although the grave robbers really wanted to get some information about the inside of the ruins from the bare-chested burly man, they had no choice but to make way for him, not daring to stop him at all due to his tyrannical strength.
"Fellow brother, I wonder what treasures you found inside! Why don't you take them out and let us have a look? Isn't that right, everyone?"
Just as the bare-chested man was about to walk out of the crowd, a skinny man riding a hippopotamus stopped him. It was Arbus, and he had brought a group of subordinates to block the bare-chested man's path, smiling as he spoke to the bare-chested man.
"That's right, that's right. Brother, take them out and let us have a look."
"Brother, please don't be stingy. It's best if you tell us about the situation inside."
"Thank you, brother …"
… …
The grave robbers present were all smart people, and they immediately knew what Arbus was trying to do. Furthermore, Arbus had taken the initiative to speak up, and they quickly cheered and cheered, trying to use their numbers to force the heavily injured bare-chested man to give in and tell him about the treasures and the situation inside the ruins.
"This person is really annoying! We haven't even entered the ruins, and he's already making such a strong enemy. Is that really a good idea? Could it be that he has some helpers?"
Kaede Sato was also in the crowd, and he couldn't help but frown as he thought to himself when he saw Arbus taking the initiative to offend a Heavenly King Stage trainer.
The bare-chested man was clearly also a grave robber, and a powerful solo robber at that. He immediately sensed that the person in front of him was not easy to deal with, but he was after all a man with a temper, and there was no way he would just obediently give in.
Taking a step back, if he really took out the treasures he had just obtained from the ruins, he might not be able to leave.
"You want to see it? Alright, wait a moment."
The bare-chested man's eyes turned, and he quickly came up with an idea. Immediately, a silly smile appeared on his face, and as he spoke, he prepared to take out something from his Spatial Equipment.
When the crowd saw that the bare-chested man had given in, they immediately widened their eyes to see what treasures he would take out. Very quickly, they saw what the bare-chested man took out.
It was a lump of iron, and its surface was very smooth. One look and they could tell that it was not something from the ancient times.
When the crowd saw this, how could they not know that they had been fooled by the bare-chested man? However, before they could react, the thing in the bare-chested man's hand immediately exploded, releasing a blinding light.
In an instant, everyone covered their eyes and cried out in pain. Their eyes were blinded by the sudden bright light. The item that the bare-chested man had taken out was actually a flash bomb.
