Just as Shen Jue grabbed Zhao Keke's hand and led everyone to turn and run away, the light on August's body suddenly burst forth, forming beams of light that shot towards them like sharp swords.
The crowd panicked and scattered, but the beam of light struck the trees around them, creating a deafening explosion.
"Everyone spread out and don't gather together, that will make you an easier target!" Shen Jue shouted, while quickly thinking of a solution.
Zhao Keke followed closely behind Shen Jue, while Mu Sheng and the others quickly dispersed and found cover.
“We must find a way to control her, otherwise we won’t be able to get close to her, let alone save her!” Shen Jue said as she ran, her eyes quickly scanning the surroundings.
Lin Jiao tripped and fell while running away. Xia Xiyue immediately turned around and helped her up. The two of them hid behind a large rock.
Zhang Guole kept looking back to observe the situation in August during the escape, providing information to his teammates.
"Look! There seems to be something glowing in that grove of trees over there!" Zhang Guole shouted, pointing to a grove of trees in the distance.
Shen Jue immediately stopped and looked in the direction Zhang Guole pointed. Sure enough, she saw a faint light flickering in the woods. A thought struck her, and she spoke decisively.
"You guys distract her here, I'll go check over there."
Mu Sheng nodded in understanding. In such a critical moment, there was no time to guard against what other tricks Shen Jue and the others might have up their sleeves.
"We'll try our best to stall her. Go and come back quickly."
Shen Jue nodded and quickly ran towards the glowing woods, while the others began to make noise in an attempt to attract August's attention.
Zhao Keke and Lin Jiao used small branches and sticks they picked up along the way to throw at August.
Xia Xiyue and Zhang Guole moved quickly through the woods, creating more disturbances.
Meanwhile, after Shen Jue arrived at the glowing forest, he discovered a huge stone tablet there.
Shen Jue quickly arrived in front of the stone tablet. After activating her Eye of Illusion, all the weaknesses here appeared before her eyes.
The mysterious patterns flowing faintly on the stone tablet seemed to be slowed down countless times, and every weak point was clearly presented before her eyes.
Touching the cold surface of the stone tablet, the sensation through her fingertips confirmed her suspicions about its weakness.
Shen Jue affixed dozens of Exploding Lava Cards to the weak points of the stone tablet. Then he stepped back a little.
"burst!"
At Shen Jue's command, dozens of Exploding Lava Cards were detonated simultaneously.
A tremendous roar instantly resounded throughout the forest, and a powerful shockwave spread outwards.
Flames shot into the sky, and smoke filled the air, making it difficult to see the stone tablet clearly for a moment.
Shen Jue stared nervously at the center of the explosion, her heart filled with both anticipation and trepidation. She didn't know if her method would be successful in destroying the stone tablet.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Shen Jue saw countless cracks on the stone tablet, and the mysterious patterns were also destroyed in the explosion.
However, the stone tablet did not completely collapse; it still stands stubbornly.
It's okay, she still has a lot of Lava Burst cards, just blow them up.
Shen Jue quickly attached more bursting lava to the parts of the stone tablet that were not yet completely broken, and then retreated to a safe distance without hesitation.
We need to be quick; our teammates are still being chased by August.
"burst!"
The newly applied Explosive Lava Card detonated instantly.
Another tremendous roar resounded, and an even more powerful shockwave swept in.
The surrounding trees were knocked askew and their leaves fell to the ground.
Flames shot into the sky again, and the smoke and dust grew even thicker, as if the entire forest was shrouded in chaos.
Shen Jue stared intently at the center of the explosion, silently praying that this time she could successfully destroy the stone tablet.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Shen Jue saw that the cracks on the stone tablet had become even larger.
