After launching the rocket, Mumu's figure shrank back to its original size, swaying back and forth with Lin Qiye's steps.
"The bullets and rockets are also made of metal, but he didn't break them down, which means he can only break down that knife, or that type of special metal. This makes things much simpler," Lin Qiye muttered to himself.
In the sky, several bats flapped their wings and flew past Lin Qiye, circling half a circle before quickly flying away.
Lin Qiye's expression instantly turned serious.
According to the intelligence brought back by the bats, the situation was far worse than he had imagined. He originally thought there were only three enemies in the "River" realm and one in the "Sea" realm, but he did not expect that there was another enemy in the "River" realm who had been hiding in the forest and had successfully deceived the senses of other nocturnal creatures.
Instructor Hong, who was originally on his way to rescue Shen Qingzhu, was entangled by the other party and could not leave. Fortunately, Baili Pangpang did not seem to have been exposed and went straight to Shen Qingzhu's direction.
But... can these few people defeat a "Sichuan" realm?
Moreover, judging from the information brought back by the bats, another powerful figure from the "River" Realm has also changed his direction of travel, bypassing Village No. 1 and chasing after Lin Qiye, and is now very close.
The location information that Lin Qiye collected through the nocturnal creatures had a time lag. He could only communicate with the nocturnal creatures and could not share their vision. In other words, if he wanted to know other information, he had to send those nocturnal creatures out to collect it first, and then wait for them to return before he could know.
This process, which takes about ten minutes, is the time his information is delayed.
Another noteworthy point is that the "Sea" enemy, who had been sitting on a mountainside, has disappeared and has not appeared anywhere in the forest. However, a strange cave has been discovered where he was sitting, and bats are now exploring it.
Whoosh!
Just as Lin Qiye was rapidly organizing information in his mind, a figure quickly caught up with him. Dense fragments of hunting knives swept towards Lin Qiye like a storm, like a swarm of steel locusts passing through, instantly cutting the surrounding vegetation in half!
It was as if an invisible giant blade had cleanly sliced through half of the jungle.
In Lin Qiye's mental perception, he clearly discovered that the size of the hunting knife fragments this time was much smaller than before. If the previous fragments of the hunting knife were like pieces of paper the size of a thumbnail, then what was rushing towards Lin Qiye now were tiny blades the size of grains of sand!
The same knife, but with different sizes of fragments, has completely different power.
A blade of this size could be inhaled into the lungs, and with a mere thought, Zhuang Qi could slice a human body into pieces from the inside out in an instant.
Even if it doesn't enter the body, just a corner of this silver mist lightly brushes against the body and can immediately scrape off a layer of skin. If it penetrates more thoroughly, it can even directly shatter bones.
Lin Qiye now fully understands the forbidden realm of the man behind him. He can decompose the special metal that makes up the hunting knife without limit and control it to kill. He is currently only at the "Chuan" realm, and can only decompose the blade into grains of sand...
If he were to reach a higher level of cultivation, he might be able to break this blade down to nanometer size and wipe out all living beings in the vicinity without them even realizing it.
This is an extremely terrifying and lethal forbidden zone!
It's clear that Zhuang Qi was genuinely furious after being made so disheveled by Lin Qiye.
After Lin Qiye fully understood everything, the silver mist from the broken-down hunting knife blades arrived behind him, spreading out and enveloping him in all directions!
Once he successfully envelops the space around Lin Qiye, Lin Qiye will have nowhere to retreat and will be cut into pieces by Zhuang Qi.
"Heave-ho!"
The rocket launcher on Mumu's shoulder fired again. The rocket struck the menacing silver mist blades, bursting into intense flames. However, the impact of the rocket only slightly slowed down the silver mist's advance, and they quickly caught up again.
Such a small and dense array of blades is beyond the capabilities of rockets.
Lin Qiye sensed with his mental power that some of the silver mist from the blades had already flown in front of him, about to form an encirclement.
Lin Qiye's mind raced, and even though the situation was so critical, his eyes remained calm.
In this situation, the Darkest Ruins simply cannot erode such a large area, and swordsmanship is of little use against such a wide-ranging, all-encompassing attack...
Lin Qiye's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something. He picked up the little mummy from his shoulder, suddenly lay down, and pressed the petite little mummy under his body.
"I know this isn't a good idea, but there's no other way now. It's up to you, Mumu," Lin Qiye said helplessly.
Under the connection of the soul contract, Mu Mu instantly understood Lin Qiye's meaning. Its body rapidly expanded, and its back, which was being pressed to the ground, suddenly bulged out, revealing two explosive charges.
In the distance, Zhuang Qi looked at the silver mist of blades that had already formed an encirclement, and a ferocious smile appeared on his lips.
"Heave-ho!"
Boom-boom—!!
Just as the silvery mist of blades was about to engulf Lin Qiye, the two explosive charges that the large wooden figure had pressed to the ground suddenly exploded. The terrifying kinetic energy generated directly blasted Mumu and Lin Qiye away, sending them soaring into the sky like firecrackers, flying out of the area before the silvery mist of blades could cover them.
A large piece of wood was placed on top of the explosive charge, so the force of the explosion barely touched Lin Qiye. This reliable mummy helped Lin Qiye withstand all the damage.
An explosion of this magnitude wouldn't cause any real damage to Mumu; the charred bandages on its back contracted and quickly returned to normal.
So, Lin Qiye, holding Mumu, flew through the air in a graceful parabola, directly off the mountain peak and down into the distant valley.
Zhuang Qi stared in disbelief at this incredible scene, and it took him a long time to come to his senses.
"Holy crap, you can do that?!"
...
In the mountains, on the other side.
Boom—!!
The deafening explosion echoed at the foot of the mountain, and blinding flames shot into the sky like a roaring fire dragon, igniting the surrounding trees and causing them to burn fiercely.
But the next moment, the surrounding air was sucked out, and the terrifying flames vanished without a trace.
On this desolate wasteland, charred or soon-to-be-charred trees stood haphazardly all around. In the center of this wasteland, a burly man carrying an axe slowly rose from a deep pit and chuckled.
"Little one, your power is still a bit lacking."
