Bai Ye quickly waved his hand and said, "Go!"
Nian Mei Long let out a cry and followed Bai Ye, charging forward.
The surrounding demon seeds continued to gather, but Bai Ye's continuous attacks cleared a path, also attracting the attention of Bomb Cat and Shield Mountain.
Bai Ye's objective was particularly clear: to move towards them.
Suddenly, a cat-shaped bomb was thrown into the sky and then plummeted downwards.
Boom!
The bomb landed with a deafening roar, and towering flames consumed everything, blasting the surrounding demon seeds away.
Bai Ye couldn't help but rejoice. The other party had seen him and was providing cover.
"Nian Mei Long," Bai Ye said, taking out his beast-taming ball. "You go back first."
Bai Ye recalled Nian Mei Long into the beast-taming ball, then quickly located his target in the distance. Immediately, Bai Ye teleported to the area cleared by the bomb and spread out his palm.
In Bai Ye's palm, Steel Slime continuously produced black bubbles, which then solidified. Seven flying swords appeared before Bai Ye.
Seven Colors Rainbow…
Bai Ye scratched his head. He couldn't see seven colors anymore; all the flying swords had turned pitch black. However, as long as they could be used, Bai Ye didn't care about their color.
"Kill!"
With the seven swords condensed, Bai Ye waved his hand, and they swiftly flew, sweeping forward.
Demon seeds continuously leaped towards Bai Ye, but as soon as they approached, their bodies were severed by the flying swords.
In an instant, severed limbs and broken arms flew everywhere.
Large amounts of blood splattered, scattering everywhere.
The air even began to fill with the smell of blood, and a faint mist of blood started to drift.
On the other side, Bomb Cat also continuously threw small bombs. Their power was not as terrifying as the initial giant bomb, but with continuous throws, they blasted the demon seeds away, forcefully carving a path for Bai Ye.
Soon, Bai Ye cut through the demon seed群. After about twenty to thirty meters, Bomb Cat threw another bomb, blasting the demon seeds ahead away. Bai Ye immediately took the opportunity to re-locate and then teleported to the side of Bomb Cat and Shield Mountain.
Bai Ye smiled and said, "Bomb Cat and Shield Mountain? Weren't you two heading to the Cloud Desert? I heard bandits attacked the market there."
"Huh?" Bomb Cat blinked his eyes and looked at Bai Ye curiously, "You know us? How did you know we went to the Cloud Desert?"
"Sister Mulan told me," Bai Ye said. "I was knocked unconscious by the roadside a while ago…"
Bomb Cat interrupted, "So, Sister Mulan picked up another stray, right?"
The word "picked up" was very precise. Although Bai Ye wanted to refute, it seemed like what Bomb Cat said was not entirely wrong.
"Gu gu gua gu gu gu…"
Shield Mountain's eyes lit up, and he continuously shook his head.
Bai Ye looked bewildered, "What does that mean?"
Bomb Cat said, "He says he's happy to see you."
Bai Ye was stunned, "You can understand that too?"
Bomb Cat said, "After a while, you'll be able to understand too. Shield Mountain is very easy to get along with."
Bai Ye nodded, "Oh."
Bomb Cat threw a bomb and asked, "So, why are you following us?"
Bai Ye replied, "I had some business and just returned to the Great Wall. Then I heard that demon seeds were attacking the Great Wall. I wanted to find Sister Mulan but couldn't. I saw you two leaving the city from the city wall, so I followed to see."
Bomb Cat said, "We're like you, just returned from the Cloud Desert. After learning about the demon seed attack, we're now going to find Sister Mulan."
Bai Ye asked, "Do you know where Sister Mulan is?"
"Sister Mulan received orders from General Su Lie to investigate the reason for the demon seed attack," Bomb Cat said, looking around. "This scale of demon seed attack is usually not ordinary. Without a reason, such a large-scale attack would not be possible."
Bai Ye nodded, "So, do you know where Sister Mulan is?"
Bomb Cat replied, "Before we left, we found General Su Lie and learned which direction Sister Mulan left in."
Bai Ye asked, "Can you take me with you?"
"Of course!" Bomb Cat jumped up and patted Bai Ye's shoulder. "You look very strong. If you're with us, it should be easier for us to fight our way out."
Shield Mountain nodded in agreement, "Gu gu gu gua gu gu gu…"
Bomb Cat said, "He says you're welcome to join us."
Bai Ye smiled, "I'm very happy to join you."
Bomb Cat raised a bomb and pointed forward, "In that case, let's go!"
Boom!
Bomb Cat threw the bomb in his hand forward again. Immediately, a huge roar sounded, and the bomb exploded, blasting the surrounding demon seeds away.
Bai Ye took a deep breath, took a step forward, and then his entire body burst into flames.
"Phoenix Flame!"
Bai Ye punched forward, and the Phoenix Flame shot out, transforming into a pillar of fire that charged forward.
The pillar of fire continued forward, engulfing the demon seeds in front, and then…
"Flame Burst!"
Bai Ye extended his fist and made a grasping motion forward.
Boom, boom, boom…
The pillar of fire exploded section by section, blasting the demon seeds within the flames into fragments.
Bomb Cat appeared extremely excited and said to Bai Ye, "You like explosions too?"
Bai Ye shrugged, "It's okay?"
Bomb Cat happily said, "Everyone who likes the art of explosions is my good friend."
Bai Ye replied, "It's an honor."
Just then…
"Gu gua gu gua gua, gu gu…"
Shield Mountain suddenly looked forward and made sounds that Bai Ye couldn't understand.
Bomb Cat's gaze turned serious as he looked ahead and said, "Shield Mountain says a powerful enemy is coming."
As soon as Bomb Cat finished speaking, suddenly, dense black dots appeared in the sky. Upon closer inspection, it was a large volley of arrows riding the wind towards the three of them.
"Be careful!"
Just as Bai Ye was about to act, Shield Mountain directly stood in the front.
Immovable as a Mountain!
Shield Mountain spread his arms, and then the sound of mechanisms turning came from his arms. Immediately, large shields appeared on his left and right arms.
Bang!
Shield Mountain forcefully brought the two shields together and then slammed them onto the ground, standing there like a fortress.
The next moment, the arrow volley descended!
A green glow appeared in front of Shield Mountain. As the arrows fell, ripples appeared on the green glow, and the arrows were deflected, unable to breach Shield Mountain's defense.
Bomb Cat said proudly, "Shield Mountain is the most solid shield of the Great Wall Guard!"
