A burning orb of light appeared in the passage, surrounded by puppets. At first, it was only the size of a ping pong ball, but it gradually grew larger, expanding a circle every second.
Zhao Xiangxue squinted slightly, maintaining her psychic energy output. This was another professional skill of the flame sprite master that did not require transformation—Sun Ignition Technique.
From the moment the small fireball appeared, as it gradually increased in size, all the puppets it touched were ignited. Its power wasn't as strong as Fire Lightning, but it quickly burned through the bodies of the puppets, transmitting the flames unrestricted to the surrounding ones, igniting everything in contact.
When the fireball reached a diameter of about two meters, it stopped growing and began to burn intensely, spitting fire snakes towards the surroundings, as if many fiery hands emerged, trying to grasp everything nearby.
Watching the puppets being set ablaze, Gao Yi charged in indifferently, swinging his giant sword. The puppets, already warped by the flames, were no match for him and were swiftly reduced to scrap.
"Retreat!"
Suddenly, Zhao Xiangxue shouted. Gao Yi, no longer willing to fight, jumped back. Then, the sun that had been spewing flames suddenly froze, and the surrounding flames and puppets began to move towards it.
The fireball had created a suction, pulling everything around it towards itself!
Whether burning or unburned, everything was drawn closer. After absorbing a dozen or so puppets, the burning orb stopped this attraction, then brightened, and with a loud bang, it exploded.
Countless flames surged through the passage, engulfing everything in their wake.
The people behind instinctively retreated outside the door. This skill was simply too frightening; even though they knew they wouldn’t be attacked, they still couldn’t suppress their fear.
They couldn’t help but look at the woman who cast this skill, astonished by her powerful strength, and all silently guessed her evolution level. In the end, they all concluded in their hearts that she was a formidable six-star evolver.
The flames from the explosion quickly dissipated, leaving chaos in the passage. The puppets that had been lively moments ago turned into piles of debris, their statues and rewards scattered everywhere.
Before Ye Zhongming and the others could react, the people behind surged forward all at once, rushing towards the passage. To their surprise, Ye Zhongming did not stop them.
Gao Yi and Zhao Xiangxue were not so calm. They turned around and glared angrily at these people. Gao Yi even used his broad body to block the entrance, preventing them from going in to pick up the spoils.
They couldn’t attack each other here, which is why these individuals behaved so unscrupulously, trying to take advantage of the crowd to seize the rewards scattered throughout the passage and the treasure chest at the end.
Although Gao Yi and Zhao Xiangxue tried their best, there were still quite a few people. Amid the pushing and shoving, some managed to slip into the passage and began collecting the rewards.
Gao Yi and Zhao Xiangxue were very anxious. They noticed that their boss remained indifferent and couldn’t help but shout.
However, Ye Zhongming tilted his head, looking into the passage as if in a daze.
Killing intent surged in Zhao Xiangxue’s eyes. She raised her short staff, wanting to launch an attack. Regardless of whether it would work, she wanted to teach these people a lesson, even if it meant punishment afterward.
But before she could use her skill, a scream unexpectedly pierced the air in the passage.
In the passage, which had already been filled with puppet corpses, another group of puppets had appeared without anyone noticing. Unlike the previous ones that were primarily bronze with black accents, this time most of the puppets were black, with a few golden ones among them!
As if monsters had respawned in a game, these new puppets immediately launched attacks on the nearby evolvers.
