As Peach restrained the monster, Ye Wumeng charged forward, driving his cutlass deep into the creature's body, leaving only the hilt exposed.
Seeing this, Ye Wumeng leaped up, placing one foot on the exposed hilt and began to climb up the monster's back, repeating his earlier maneuver.
Swish! Swish!
Several tentacles sensed Ye Wumeng's presence and rushed toward him, intent on stopping his ascent.
Bang! Bang!
Gunshots rang out from a distance, and the tentacles were blown apart in mid-air, crashing down to the ground in pieces.
It was Lei Huo.
With this distraction, Ye Wumeng focused on climbing the creature's body and soon reached its pinnacle.
He hesitated for a moment as he looked at the basketball-sized orb he had just retrieved from the storage. Shaking his head slightly, he thought,
The Micro-Compact Ultra-Dense Corpse Energy Radiation Shell!
This was something he had purchased long ago from Deng Sanqi but had never used due to its overwhelming power. If it weren't for the current situation...
Ye Wumeng shook his head again; now was not the time to hesitate. He drew another cutlass and struck forcefully at the monster’s body!
A deep wound about a meter long appeared, but for such a colossal creature, it was merely a scratch.
He stuffed the Micro-Compact Ultra-Dense Corpse Energy Radiation Shell inside, pressed the activation button, and leaped away from the monster in a great bound.
Boom!
Just as Ye Wumeng distanced himself, a violent explosion erupted from the monster's body. The terrifying force obliterated half of its form, while intense heat instantly evaporated the slime coating its surface, leaving it looking like dried ice cream stuck to its flesh.
The explosion sent a massive shockwave rippling outward, knocking over members of the Bonfire Group who were caught off guard. Peach, who had just been helped up by Wen Xi, was blown down again along with him.
In the distance, Lei Huo could only lower his head to shield himself from the fierce blast.
Meanwhile, Ye Wumeng stood calmly in place as chaotic winds whipped around him, his clothes billowing wildly. In his eyes reflected the image of the monster that was now on its last legs.
I need to find a reason to touch this Monster's Corpse...
Rumbling echoed around him!
A tremor surged through the ground again, causing everyone to lift their heads, their faces filled with terror. Could it be that this massive explosion would lead to a collapse here?
Boom!
As the crowd's minds raced with fear, the large iron door behind them suddenly warped, as if someone were pulling at a piece of paper, forming a hollow cone that bulged outward.
What was happening? Were we really going to die?
Bang!
The massive iron door seemed to have reached its limit, yanked outward by an immense force. As everyone focused their gaze, they saw a figure standing casually with one hand in his pocket and the other in a claw-like grip. Above him, the iron door floated silently in the air.
Oh, not bad at all; he handled it all by himself.
Boom!
Xu Duan set down the deformed iron door and walked over to Ye Wumeng with a smile.
"You really should have come earlier."
Ye Wumeng crossed his arms and shook his head.
"I know you're quite upset, but look who it is?"
Xu Duan beckoned with his finger, and a figure resembling a large character floated in from the distance. Upon seeing his face, an unnamed fury ignited within Ye Wumeng.
Fei Wen!
"Can we get rid of him?" Ye Wumeng said coolly, his eyes brimming with unmasked killing intent as he clenched his right fist tightly, suppressing the anger within.
"You want to kill him? You should know he is the son of a certain lord. He joined this team purely for some prestige."
"So what?"
Ye Wumeng looked at Xu Duan, his gaze steady and unhurried.
"This will bring you trouble."
"Keeping him around is just asking for disaster."
"We will transfer you from this team."
Listening to Xu Duan's words, Ye Wumeng turned around and looked at the trio behind him—Peach, Lei Huo, and Wen Xi—with a determined glint in his eyes.
"Give him to me."
Ye Wumeng's tone was calm, but the boundless fury underlying it was evident to anyone listening.
"Kill me? Hahaha, don't dream! You're just a Third Level investigator of the Bonfire Group, while I am the son of a council member. Do you dare to kill me? Would the Bonfire Group allow you to do that? Hahaha, idiot!"
Fei Wen's face was filled with arrogance as he laughed heartily, a victorious smile plastered across his features.
"Who said I wanted to kill Captain Fei Wen? It was Captain Fei Wen who sacrificed himself to protect us and was accidentally ambushed by those despicable Undead. Who's spreading such rumors?"
Suddenly, Ye Wumeng's face contorted with indignation. His voice was hoarse, filled with admiration as he looked at Fei Wen, continuously pounding his chest in grief.
He glanced at the others; they all silently nodded. After all, they remembered how Fei Wen had locked them up to ensure their escape while nearly getting killed by the Undead.
They also wished for Fei Wen's demise.
"Since you've already made your decision, keep it clean and don't bring trouble to the Bonfire Group."
Xu Duan spread his hands and presented Fei Wen before Ye Wumeng.
"Wait, what are you all talking about?"
Fei Wen looked at Ye Wumeng, whose face was filled with murderous intent, and Xu Duan, who had closed his eyes. His lips trembled slightly as beads of cold sweat formed on his forehead.
They were serious!
"Oh, our most respected Captain Fei Wen, please take your leave!"
Ye Wumeng's voice was hoarse, as if he were genuinely reminiscing about Fei Wen, choking back tears.
He turned away, holding a cutlass stained with Undead blood and slowly walked toward Fei Wen.
"Wait! Don't come any closer!"
"Captain Fei Wen, take your leave!"
Pfft!
"Ah!"
