Chapter 538: Chapter 236: White Dew Gu, Despairing Yuwen Dao, Yang Lu
Wu Xiong and Han Jiuli were startled by Li Xuantiang’s loud shout, but quickly reacted and swiftly took out their Deception Detection Jade from their pocket; their expressions instantly became identical to Li Xuantiang’s.
The two groups of people, who were just locked in combat, saw their respective commanders fleeing and instantly panicked, quickly dispersing—a group to the north, another to the south—beginning to flee rapidly.
"Gu, this is trouble now!"
On the south side of the ravine, Yuwen Dao noticed the white dew emerging gradually from the wound on his chest, sensed the dew heating up, and looked somewhat flustered, then quickly remembered something and immediately took out a piece of Coagulated Fire Oil from his pocket, crushed it, and applied it over the wound.
Sizzle......
The rapidly heating white dew stopped immediately upon contact with the Coagulated Fire Oil, and as the oil seeped in, the dew also started turning into ordinary water droplets, which Yuwen Dao wiped away with his hand.
"Fortunately, thank goodness..."
Even though the dew was not completely dispelled, seeing the effectiveness of the Coagulated Fire Oil, Yuwen Dao felt extremely relieved. Luckily, he brought some pieces from Great Xia, or given the situation just now in the wooden cabin, he would certainly not have survived.
Yuwen Dao’s sensitivity to the surreal creatures was much higher than others; observing the situation in the cabin, he perceived the activity of the Deception Detection Jade on him long before Li Xuantiang realized; confirmed the presence of surreal creatures on Yangyuan Peak, seizing the moment while everyone was panicking, he was the first to escape to the south side.
"But next, how do I escape!"
Yuwen Dao raised his head and looked at the twenty-meter-wide ravine ahead, where fierce blue flames were rising, and his face instantly showed difficulty.
The ravines surrounding Yangyuan Peak had all risen with towering blue flames, encircling everyone there.
He definitely had the ability to jump over, but the problem was, the dew on his body was not completely dispelled; judging from the state of corpses near the ravine, the dew would explode upon contact with the flames, no matter how well he jumped, he could not ensure that he wouldn’t touch even a bit of flame.
"Let’s gamble, try using Coagulated Fire Oil to see if I can get rid of the dew completely!"
Thinking prompted action; Yuwen Dao immediately took out the three pieces of Coagulated Fire Oil from his pocket and started applying them on the dew-covered areas of his body.
"Ah......"
"Can’t get out?"
"What to do!"
"It’s over, it’s over, why did a surreal suddenly appear!"
.........
While Yuwen Dao was applying Coagulated Fire Oil, Wu Xiong, Han Jiuli, Wu Lin, and many others with stronger Earth-digging Realm skills gathered at the ravine.
They ignored Yuwen Dao’s strange actions and stared blankly at the fierce blue flames soaring dozens of meters high within the ravine.
"What are you waiting for, hurry up and rush across!"
On the south side, there had been a previous battle, and there were still two wooden boards that weren’t burnt through by the flames; a few anxious individuals stepped directly onto the boards, attempting to rush across quickly.
"Ah......"
Unfortunately, those who stepped on the boards barely rushed a meter before the blue flames came into contact; the white dew on their exterior burst open instantly and was devoured by the flames, reduced to bones along with the broken wooden bridge, falling down into the deep ravine below.
Watching the last two boards break, the remaining Earth-digging Realm individuals were instantly filled with despair;
Not just those in Earth-digging Realm, Wu Xiong, Han Jiuli, Wu Lin, the three at Cold Resistance Level, witnessed the white dew on their bodies increasing, and their pupils too were filled with fear and panic.
"Cluck cluck cluck cluck, after waking me up, why are you trying to run?"
An ethereal, melodious female voice suddenly echoed in everyone’s ears.
Not just those on the south side like Wu Xiong, even Li Xuantiang, blocked on the north side by the ravine, and over twenty thousand people within Yangluo Base, all practically heard it.
Everyone looked at the white dew on their bodies, their expressions already plunged into extreme fear for they all clearly perceived that this ethereal, alluring female voice was emanating from the white dew on their bodies.
"In this icy world, my White Dew is just right to warm your bodies!"
The previously ethereal, melodious female voice suddenly turned sharp and hoarse, profound killing intent in her tone immediately transmitted to everyone’s heart.
Everyone watched the white dew on their bodies, beginning to grow wildly and spread toward other parts of their bodies, faces instantly etched with terror.
"It’s over!"
Yuwen Dao was applying Coagulated Fire Oil when he saw new dew appearing even before the old dew was dispelled, his face instantly filled with despair.
Whoosh......
Suddenly, an Iron Arrow shot in from outside the ravine.
The fierce wind carried by the Iron Arrow actually managed to disperse the raging flames above the ravine.
This scene immediately dissipated much of the despair on Yuwen Dao’s face.
"Yuwen Dao, catch!"
A package was thrown over from across the ravine, Yuwen Dao heard Yuan Cheng’s familiar voice, immediately jumped up to catch the package, opening it he saw, his face instantly full of joy.
.........
Turn back the time to earlier at night, Peng Bo, accompanied by his three grandsons, followed Yuan Cheng’s group of four, all returning to Hive Station together.
"Grandpa Peng, are we no longer Yanglu people from now on?"
"Of course not, Grandpa Peng, me, you, Qin Feng, Little Ancestor, can never forget our identity as Yanglu people."
Inside a guest room in the main building of Hive Station.
Peng Bo held his grandson Peng Zu, and upon hearing Liu Ming’s query, he immediately reminded him and Qin Feng not to forget their identity as Yanglu people.
Though those were his words, a hint of bitterness flashed across his eyes.
