In addition to these people, there were also two people in the crowd who were even more unscrupulous than Lin Yuxuan. They were the twin brothers. The two of them carried a giant axe and a machete as they charged forward. How could the charging bronze-armored warriors resist the two wolf-like people? They were knocked over and lost their footing, swaying left and right.
However, they were different from Lin Yuxuan. These two mostly relied on brute force and did not use much Zhen Yuan. Although they looked impressive, their consumption was pitiful.
As for the middle-aged woman, she found it difficult to deal with so many bronze-armored warriors. It could be seen that she walked the path of cunning and sinister. One against one, one against two. It was much easier for her to deal with them than ordinary people, but once the numbers reached a certain level, she would find it difficult to deal with them. Fortunately, her movement techniques were quite good, and she could always avoid the bronze-armored warriors' attacks at critical moments and follow closely behind the group.
Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng were also at the back of the group. In front of them were the twin brothers, and behind them was the middle-aged woman.
Murong Qingcheng relied on speed to make a living. Speed was her talent, so she was naturally very calm.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Clang! Ye Chen strolled leisurely. The Thunder Disaster Sword in his hand seemed slow but was actually fast. Every time it was swung, it was just right when the warriors were about to attack. So, it looked like they were coming to him on their own. It was orderly and pleasing to the eye.
Before, the middle-aged woman had looked down on Ye Chen a bit, thinking that he had no other use besides his soul power. But now, she did not think that way anymore. Among the eleven people, Ye Chen was the most relaxed. It was not that he was the strongest, but his perception and timing were the best.
"This brat does have some skills. He is not that easy to deal with. If there are any disputes in the future, I will wait and see."
Living at their level, it was very important to judge the situation. Arguing with someone they had no confidence in dealing with was not a rational and stupid thing to do.
The Bronze Armored Warriors in the corridor were like a tide, while the group was like an iron boat on the tide, cutting through the waves and pressing forward.
After about the time it took to drink half a cup of tea, everyone safely passed through the corridor. Turning around, they saw that all the bronze-armored warriors were frozen in place. Then, with a flash of light, they merged into the pillars on both sides of the corridor, becoming one with the sculptures.
"Is everyone alright?"
Jin Wanshuang let out a breath and asked after scanning the surroundings.
"Not bad, let's continue forward!"
The Bronze Armored Warriors were nothing more than an appetizer for them. Any one of them would be an invincible figure under Life and Death realm. How could they be defeated by a group of mindless scrap metal?
"That's good!"
Jin Wanshuang continued to lead the way. He also believed that these things wouldn't be too troublesome. When he invited people, he had thought it through. Of course, there were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the teahouse, so he had only invited a portion of them.
After passing through the corridor, everyone came to a central hall. This hall was equivalent to an aisle rest area. There were some rest rooms on both sides, but there was nothing else. Everyone left the hall and directly walked out of the hall through the passage in front.
As soon as they exited the hall, everyone suddenly stopped.
What entered his eyes was a large forest that was divided into two. The small path in the middle was the only path that led to the other side. In the forest, there were countless red lights that flickered as if there were countless fireflies dancing in it. It was incomparably gorgeous.
Without saying anything, Jin Wanshuang took a deep breath and took a step forward.
The secluded path was covered in layers of mist and immeasurably deep. The trees on both sides of the path were lush and quiet, carrying a trace of deathly stillness.
"So beautiful!"
A "firefly" flew down from a nearby tree and was about to perch on the shoulder of the younger twin brother. It shone as brightly as a bean.
The younger twin was attracted by the firefly and reached out to grab it.
Bang!
An intense flame exploded, and a powerful Qi wave blew the surrounding ten people off balance, making it hard for them to open their eyes. Meanwhile, the younger twin's entire right hand was scorched black, emitting green smoke.
"Little brother!"
The older twin was startled.
"Motherf * cker, this firefly can even explode!"
The younger twin turned his head and revealed a smile toward the older brother. His scorched right arm lightly shook, and the ashes of his clothes fell down, revealing the skin underneath.
"What a powerful body!"
Ye Chen's eyes squinted.
The might of a firefly's explosion could only be described as frightening, not any weaker than a full powered attack of a normal half-step king. Yet, the younger twin was still fine even after holding it. It was easy to imagine the extent of his body's defense. If it were someone else, their arm would definitely be destroyed.
"This is a Self Exploding Fire Bug!"
The elder opened his eyes wide and said word by word.
"Self Exploding Fire Bug?"
The others looked at him with a confused expression.
A trace of fear appeared on the elder's face, "These bugs have existed since ancient times, but they are extinct now. The explosion of one Self Exploding Fire Bug will attract all the others. This is the Fire Forest, a place where powerful warriors burn. If you want to live, leave this place as soon as possible."
"Leave? Where to run?"
Everyone looked ahead and then back. Both sides were covered in layers of mist, making it hard to advance or retreat. If they went forward, they wouldn't know where the end was, and if they retreated, the distance was not short either. Moreover, they had come here for treasures, so there was no reason to retreat. However, compared to their lives, retreating did not seem shameful.
"Forward!"
Jin Wanshuang's face was firm as he led the way.
"Follow him!"
At this moment, there was only unity.
However, when they saw countless light dots coming through the mist, everyone stopped and looked at each other in dismay.
"They're coming! There are some on the left and right as well."
"Are they forcing us to retreat?"
Whoosh!
As everyone discussed, the twin brothers shot out an axe light and two blade lights. The axe light and blade light were as fast as lightning, slashing into the depths of the mist.
Peng Peng Peng Peng Peng …
Continuous explosions resounded, and the dazzling flame light illuminated the entire Fire Forest. The mist on the path was also swept away by the shockwave, leaving no obstacles behind.
Everyone looked forward and could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. They could not see the end of the line. What they saw was an overwhelming number of Self-Detonating Fire Worms. Among them, there were some fist-sized Self-Detonating Fire Worms with blue light flashing on their tails.
On the other hand, although there were a lot of them, they were sparse, not even one percent of the ones at the front. The ones on the left and right sides were a bit more than the ones at the back.
Jin Wanshuang turned his head and said, "This is the only way. Either we go forward or we go back. If we go back, then this ruin will have nothing to do with him, unless we can find a way to deal with these bugs. Since we came here together, we will naturally advance and retreat together. Now, let's vote. Those who support moving forward, take one step forward, and those who support moving back, take one step back."
The bugs were getting closer and closer, flying up and down. They didn't have much time left.
"Forward."
The cold-looking youngster was the first to vote as he took a step forward.
"I also agree to move forward."
The yellow-robed lady was the second.
"Agreed."
Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng moved forward at the same time.
…
In the end, only the elder and the middle-aged lady didn't vote. Lin Yuxuan hesitated a bit, but still took a step forward.
"Nine against two. Whether we vote or not, it is meaningless."
The elder took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
"Then … let's go forward!"
The middle-aged lady's face was bitter. She couldn't go back alone. The treasure was too tempting, and she would definitely regret it when she went back.
At this moment, the elder said again, "The bugs will be attracted by blood qi. Only by approaching them will they come over. We have to be fast, and don't try to kill them."
"On the other hand, if the blood qi is reserved, it won't come near."
The yellow-robed lady suddenly said.
The elder said bitterly, "How could it be that easy? Reserved blood qi is useless against the bugs. As long as you are still alive, they will be able to sense your blood qi."
The yellow-robed lady smiled without replying.
"Could she be able to do that?" Ye Chen sensed a noncommittal expression flash past the yellow-robed lady's face, which made him suspicious.
"Alright, since everyone has agreed, then from now on, don't think about anything else. Take out all the things that can be used for defense. Don't be afraid of wasting them."
Jin Wanshuang activated his defensive armor. He didn't carry any weapons in his hands, but two shields, one big and one small. The big one was as tall as a human, while the small one was only one meter.
The others also had a lot of stock. Just like Jin Wanshuang, they all held shields and activated their defensive armors. They were all armed to the teeth, looking like warriors who were about to enter the battlefield.
"Charge!"
The group of eleven people flew forward at their fastest speed. Due to the invisible power in the ruins, their speed was only one percent of their speed on land.
The Self-Exploding Flaming Bugs were a kind of fierce bug that was extremely sensitive to blood Qi. Everyone revolved their Zhen Yuan, causing their blood Qi to become even more exuberant. Without a doubt, the Self-Exploding Flaming Bugs were even more attractive to them. One by one, they flew over and then developed into groups. As far as the eye could see, the sky was filled with light spots.
Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom …
Flames shrouded everyone, along with a series of metal exploding sounds. It was the sound of the bugs hitting the metal shields.
"Go!"
The upper rank shield in his hand was destroyed. Ye Chen shook his Zhen yuan, and the shield flew out along with a wave of fireflies. He then took out another shield, and the one that he had thrown away disappeared into the distance with a ball of flame.
The speed at which the shields were being destroyed was too fast. Upper grade shields would not be able to last for a long time, and only the semi extreme grade shields could slightly withstand this kind of explosion. Unfortunately, shields were one of the rarer artifacts, and everyone only had one or two semi extreme grade shields on them. At most, they would take out one, since no one would use all of their semi extreme grade shields on the Exploding Fire Bugs. Therefore, the upper grade shields had become the fastest consumable. After dozens of breaths, everyone had already used up dozens of shields, which was a horrifying sight to behold.
Peng!
All of a sudden, a ten times louder sound exploded, and the group's formation was torn apart.
Ye Chen looked over. Unknowingly, those fist-sized fireflies with their tails flickering with blue light had also joined the attack. Their self-detonation power was ten times that of ordinary fireflies.
