Gu Wan suddenly activated his supernatural power, and the flame in his palm surged, shining in the direction of Ji Xian's broken earth cone.
In the light of the fire, countless golden threads spun silently in the air...
"Lower your head and look down." Ji Xian's voice became tense.
The three of them lowered their heads and saw that the ground in front of them was also covered with wriggling golden threads, slowly twisting like living things.
He Zhuo, who was walking in the front, stepped half of his foot on the golden thread and immediately retracted his foot: "What the hell is this?"
Those golden threads seemed to be enraged and suddenly attacked the three people.
Gu Wan was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and two fireballs whizzed out with his backhand.
The golden threads hit by the flames immediately shrank back, but more threads on both sides were still approaching.
"They're afraid of fire!" He Zhuo said quickly, "Old Ji, take off your clothes!"
The two men quickly pulled off their coats, and Gu Wan set them on fire with a fireball.
They waved their burning coats and flapped the silk threads around them desperately.
But there were simply too many golden threads—as soon as a few were forced back, more surged in, filling the gaps endlessly...
"Retreat!" He Zhuo and Ji Xian grabbed Gu Wan and retreated quickly.
Taking advantage of the collapsed house, He Zhuo and Ji Xian quickly built an earth shield to surround the three people, even covering their feet.
However, those silk threads actually moved rapidly along the surface of the earth shield, and the sharp silk blades continuously cut off the earth, and the defense layer became thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Beads of sweat appeared on He Zhuo's forehead: "I can't stop it."
Ji Xian gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I can't stop it, I have to..."
The earth shields piled up layer by layer, and the space for the three people to move around became increasingly narrow.
Gu Wan suddenly asked, "Do you have a lighter?"
He Zhuo and Ji Xian each took out one and handed it to her.
Ji Xian frowned: "Is it possible?"
Gu Wan: "It depends on the situation. We'll try our best to save the situation."
She quickly scanned the shrinking space. "Can you sense which direction is safer? Open an opening for me."
He Zhuo: "The top of the head."
Gu Wan looked up at the earth shield above him and said, "If we throw it here, the lighter and fireball might fall and blow the three of us away."
"Then stand up." He Zhuo patted his shoulder and squatted down. He and Ji Xian held Gu Wan's arm with one hand on each side, while the other hand still maintained the earth shield defense.
The two men slowly straightened up and lifted Gu Wan up steadily.
She had to bend her back, and the ends of her hair had already rubbed against the inner wall of the earth shield.
"Old Ji, hold on to her. I'm going to let go." He Zhuo's voice was tense: "Gu Wanwan, I'll open the skylight on the count of one. Are you ready?"
Gu Wan took a deep breath: "Come!"
"three..."
"two..."
"one!"
A gap suddenly appeared at the top of the earth shield, revealing wriggling golden threads.
A ball of flame compressed to the extreme instantly condensed in Gu Wan's palm. The moment the flame touched the golden threads, the tough silk threads broke.
She seized the opportunity and threw out fireballs with both hands one after another.
Fireballs shot in all directions like meteors, forcing Jin Xian to retreat step by step.
But the surroundings were empty and there were too few flammable materials, so she could only keep using her supernatural powers, throwing fireballs one after another at the golden threads without stopping.
Gu Wan searched around with the help of the firelight and found a row of fallen trees on the side of the road.
She immediately adjusted the direction of her attack, and fireballs hit the tree trunks one after another.
The dry trees instantly caught fire, and the golden threads wrapped around the trunks broke in the flames.
Now is the time!
Gu Wan threw the lighter in his hand towards the hottest part of the fire without hesitation, and quickly squatted down.
He Zhuo reacted extremely quickly and the earth shield closed instantly.
"boom--"
Amid the deafening explosion, Lu Nange and his group, as well as Gu Qi and the other two who were fighting not far away, were startled by the sudden loud noise and turned their heads to look in the direction of the explosion.
Inside the sealed earth shield, the three people were not frightened by the roar of the explosion. Instead, they were frightened by the roar that followed - the sound was so sharp that the sweat on the back of their necks instantly stood up.
Ji Xian: "What the hell is this?"
"If only Nan Nan/Mei Bao... were here!" He Zhuo and Gu Wanluo sighed.
Ji Xian: "With such a big commotion, there's a chance Nan Nan and the others will come looking for us..."
