"Thank you Yixi, and Yixi is the reward for both brothers. I won't say much, Old Phantom has it in mind. Also, there will be another update shortly."
With a flick of his left hand, two magic crystal grenades were thrown out, and with the edge of the moon in his right hand, Ye Zhongming used the radiant seal blade master's skill, leaping forward another five or six meters.
It had been a while since the core members escorted him, and through the instant communication capability of the merit medal, Ye Zhongming already knew that they were about to successfully break through. Xiao Min's team continuously shot and cleared most of the mutated plants within their range. Although new ones were still emerging from the ground, the pressure on the returning team was significantly reduced. Everyone was a bit disheveled, but there were no major issues.
Standing at the original departure point, many core members led by Xia Bai and Mo Ye frowned. They could no longer sense the battle inside; there were no sounds or lights to capture. If it weren't for the fact that this road was still occupied by mutated plants, showing no signs of retreating underground, everyone would be truly worried.
Watching the mutated plants, which had already been cleared numerous times, become dense again, everyone regretted not stopping Ye Zhongming. Could he withstand such overwhelming attacks alone?
"Zhongming? Zhongming?"
Liang Chuyin's voice became increasingly anxious as she called out to the merit medal.
Everyone looked over, and Liang Chuyin raised her head, her smooth forehead glistening with beads of sweat.
"We... lost contact with Zhongming as soon as we came out!"
Shengyuan and others tried it, and sure enough, the instant communication function had been disrupted by something!
The already anxious core members felt even heavier.
"Alright, we must believe in the boss's strength. He won't be in trouble. When facing the eighth level sea beast, the Sea King Disk couldn't do anything to him. Would he be afraid of these mutated plants without magic crystals? Even if he encounters danger, there’s still the rainbow gate."
Mo Ye clapped his hands, reassuring everyone. Listening to him, they felt somewhat relieved. In their hearts, they knew Ye Zhongming was unlikely to be in danger, but they were still afraid of any potential mishaps.
After guarding for a while, they left a team behind and returned to the camp.
They had other matters to attend to.
Ye Zhongming was currently attacking with a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, occasionally tossing out magic crystal grenades.
However, no matter how fast his movements were or how many times he fired his crystal energy magic bullet gun, every second, these mutated plants struck him, leaving marks on his body.
If it weren't for Ye Zhongming's excellent protection of his head, he might have already been bleeding profusely.
Ye Zhongming felt like a small boat in raging waves, being battered by wind and rain, at any moment on the verge of capsizing.
Although he had several trump cards, they were not very practical for the current situation. For example, if he released the Demon Servicing Beehive now, the advantages of the needle birds would instantly become disadvantages, as those long leaves would swallow them whole. The Staff of Nature could be used for defense, but how long could it hold? Ye Zhongming needed to enter the city, not stay here indefinitely.
So he could only endure, utilizing his equipment, profession, and skills to maneuver as best as he could, advancing forward.
The edge of the moon danced, continuously cutting through the leaves that attempted to entangle Ye Zhongming. As for those that lashed out or stabbed at him, as long as they weren't targeting his vital areas, he ignored them, focusing on firming his steps and moving forward.
Whenever there was an unavoidable attack, Ye Zhongming would throw a magic crystal grenade to create a small vacuum around him.
At this moment, Ye Zhongming had already gone deeper than Little Tiger and the others had ever been before.
