Boom—!!!
This loud roar felt as if the gates of Hell were being forced open.
Immediately following was a continuous series of explosions.
Boom boom boom boom boom—!
Terrifying dark green light instantly swallowed the entire interior of the cave.
It wasn't just a shockwave of spirit power; it was also mixed with Toxic Corpse Qi, highly corrosive blood, and flying bone fragments like shrapnel.
"Watch out!"
Bei Bei, located at the rear of the group, reacted with Extreme Speed.
A second before the explosion, he almost instinctively pulled Yuhao beside him. Simultaneously, the Thunder Dragon Head on his body reared up, and his First Spirit Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw, and Third Spirit Skill, Thunder's Wrath, erupted instantly.
But that wasn't enough.
What truly saved their lives was that inconspicuous metallic luster.
Crack—
At the moment the explosion's shockwave slammed into them, the Level Four Spirit Tool Armor Yuhao had given Bei Bei and the Spirit Tool Shield on Bei Bei's wrist shone brilliantly, forming a golden light barrier.
Though only level four, in this life-or-death moment, it was an insurmountable chasm!
The terrifying shockwave slammed hard against the light barrier, making a tooth-grinding cracking sound.
Lasting for less than two seconds, the spirit tool barrier became overwhelmed and exploded into countless fragments with a "bang."
Yet those two seconds of buffering provided Bei Bei and Yuhao with the most precious breathing room.
Though the aftershock sent their blood churning and sent them flying back over ten meters to slam into the rock wall, they miraculously suffered no major harm aside from some internal injuries and abrasions.
Yuhao climbed up from the ground, looking at the completely scrapped spirit tool core in his hand that had turned into a pile of junk, feeling a wave of lingering fear.
If not for this thing... just now, he and his Senior Brother would have lost a layer of skin even if they didn't die!
However, not everyone was as lucky as they were.
Those Inner Court Disciples at the front of the group, the most confident and the ones who looked down on spirit tools the most, were currently suffering a devastating blow.
Pfft—!
Chen Zifeng bore the brunt of it.
As an attack system Tool Spirit Master, though his sword's attack power was extremely strong, his defensive capability was not outstanding.
Moreover, because he had rushed forward too quickly, he was less than three meters away from several exploding corpses.
He had no spirit tool buffer whatsoever.
Because he had underestimated the enemy, he hadn't even had time to fully release his defensive Spirit Abilities.
That terrifying Corpse Explosion shockwave was like a heavy hammer, slamming solidly into his chest.
Accompanied by the crisp sound of bones fracturing, Chen Zifeng was sent flying back like a kite with a broken string, blood spraying wildly from his mouth.
"Ah—!"
On the other side, Xi Xi and Gongyang Mo were also screaming repeatedly.
The speed Xi Xi took pride in was useless against the full-coverage explosion; her left leg was blown into a bloody mess.
As a support system Spirit Master, although Gongyang Mo was flying in the air, the airwave from the Corpse Explosion slammed him directly into the stalactites on the cave ceiling, leaving him dazed and bleeding.
Even Dai Yueheng, who had the strongest defense, was in a wretched state.
Although the White Tiger Vajra Transformation and White Tiger Demon God Transformation granted him a powerful Physical Body defense, he was, after all, at the center of the explosion. His silver armor was blown to tatters, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
After one round of explosions.
The originally high-spirited Shrek Supervisory Group was now a scene of widespread misery.
But this was only the beginning.
"Jia jia jia jia jia! Wonderful! Simply wonderful!"
Deep within the cave, the Evil Soul Master known as the "Death God Envoy" let out a frenzied laugh.
"It's not over yet! This is just the appetizer!"
"Look around you! There are even more 'bombs' waiting for you!"
"Everyone—explode!!!"
As his malicious voice fell.
Inside the cave, the remaining dozen or so corpses, and even the severed limbs of the companions who had just been killed, once again lit up with that desperate dark green light!
And this time, the light was even brighter, and the energy fluctuations were even more violent!
The second round of Corpse Explosions was about to begin!
Looking at her teammates groaning in pain on the ground and the corpses already glowing green, Ma Xiaotao's pupils constricted sharply.
An unprecedented wave of fear and anger instantly surged to the top of her head.
She was the captain!
Normally, she might have been able to protect herself.
But now, her team members were all injured. If another round of explosions like that occurred, Chen Zifeng, Gongyang Mo, and the others... would surely die!
"You bastard! You dare!!!"
A clear Phoenix cry suddenly rang out inside the cave.
Under the immense pressure, Ma Xiaotao finally stopped holding anything back.
