Bai Ye quickly waved his hand and said, "Go!"
Nian Mei Long let out a quick cry and then followed Bai Ye, charging forward.
The surrounding demon seeds continued to gather, but Bai Ye's continuous attacks kept clearing a path, also attracting the attention of Bomb Cat and Shield Mountain.
Especially since Bai Ye's objective was obvious: to move towards them.
Suddenly, a cat-shaped bomb was thrown into the sky and then plummeted downwards.
Boom!
The bomb landed with a tremendous roar, and the sky-high flames consumed everything, simultaneously blasting the surrounding demon seeds away.
Bai Ye couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. The enemy had seen him and was providing cover.
"Nian Mei Long." Bai Ye took out his beast-taming sphere and said, "You go back first."
Bai Ye returned Nian Mei Long to the beast-taming sphere, then looked into the distance, quickly locking onto a target. Immediately, Bai Ye teleported to the area cleared by the bomb and then spread out his palm.
In Bai Ye's palm, Steel Slimes continuously produced black bubbles that condensed, and then seven flying swords appeared before Bai Ye.
Seven-colored 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 began to fly rapidly, sweeping forward.
Demon seeds constantly leaped towards Bai Ye from the surroundings, but as soon as they got close, their bodies were severed by the flying swords.
In an instant, limbs and severed arms flew everywhere.
Large amounts of blood splattered out, staining everything.
Even the smell of blood began to permeate the air, and a faint mist of blood started to drift.
On the other side, Bomb Cat also continuously threw out small bombs. While their power wasn't as terrifying as the initial giant bomb, the continuous volleys blasted the demon seeds away, forcefully clearing a path for Bai Ye.
Soon, Bai Ye cut through the demon seed horde. After covering about twenty to thirty meters, Bomb Cat again threw a bomb, blasting the demon seeds ahead away. Bai Ye immediately took the opportunity to re-target and then teleported to the side of Bomb Cat and Shield Mountain.
Bai Ye chuckled, "Bomb Cat and Shield Mountain? Didn't you go to the Cloud Desert? I heard that bandits attacked the marketplace there."
"Eh?" Bomb Cat blinked his eyes and looked at Bai Ye curiously, saying, "You know us? How did you know we went to the Cloud Desert?"
"Sister Mulan told me," Bai Ye said. "I was unconscious on the roadside a while ago…"
Bomb Cat interrupted, "So, Sister Mulan picked up another stray, right?"
The word "picked up" was very telling. Although Bai Ye wanted to refute it, it seemed like what Bomb Cat said wasn't entirely wrong.
"Gu gu gua gu gu gu…"
Shield Mountain's eyes lit up, and he repeatedly shook his head.
Bai Ye looked confused. What did that mean?
Bomb Cat said, "He said 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 easy to get along with."
Bai Ye nodded. "Oh."
Bomb Cat threw out a bomb and said, "So, why are you following us?"
Bai Ye said, "I had some business and had 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 guys leaving the city from the battlements, so I followed to take a look."
Bomb Cat said, "We're the same as you, just returned from the Cloud Desert. Upon learning of the demon seed attack, we're now heading to find Sister Mulan."
Bai Ye said, "Do you know where Sister Mulan is?"
"Sister Mulan received orders from General Su Lie to investigate the reason for the demon seed invasion," Bomb Cat said, looking around. "An invasion of this scale is usually not ordinary. Without a reason, it's impossible for such a large-scale attack."
Bai Ye nodded. "So, do you know where Sister Mulan is?"
Bomb Cat said, "Before we left, we found General Su Lie and learned which direction Sister Mulan headed."
Bai Ye said, "Can you take me with you?"
"Of course!" Bomb Cat jumped up and patted Bai Ye's shoulder. "You look strong. With you, we should be able to break out more easily."
Shield Mountain nodded in agreement. "Gu gu gu gua gu gu gu…"
Bomb Cat said, "He says welcome to joining us."
Bai Ye smiled. "I'm happy to join you."
Bomb Cat raised a bomb and pointed forward, saying, "In that case, let's go!"
Boom!
Bomb Cat threw the bomb in his hand forward again, and a huge roar erupted as the bomb exploded, blasting the surrounding demon seeds away.
Bai Ye took a deep breath, took a step forward, and then his entire body erupted in flames.
"Phoenix Flame!"
Bai Ye punched forward, and the phoenix flames shot out, transforming into a pillar of fire charging forward.
The pillar of fire continued forward, engulfing the demon seeds in front, and then…
"Flame Burst!"
Bai Ye extended his fist and clenched it in front of him.
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 looked at Bai Ye, saying, "Do you like explosions too?"
Bai Ye shrugged. "It's alright?"
Bomb Cat happily declared, "Anyone who likes the art of explosions is a good friend of this meow."
Bai Ye said, "It's an honor."
However, at this moment…
"Gu gua gu gua gu gu, gu gu…"
Shield Mountain suddenly looked ahead and let out a sound that Bai Ye still couldn't understand.
Bomb Cat's gaze became serious, and he looked ahead, saying, "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 barrage of arrows riding the wind towards the three of them.
"Careful!"
Just as Bai Ye was about to act, Shield Mountain directly stood at the forefront.
Immovable as a mountain!
Shield Mountain spread his arms, and then the sound of mechanical gears turning came from his arms. Immediately, huge 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 instant, the arrows fell!
A greenish glow appeared in front of Shield Mountain. As the arrows landed, ripples appeared on the green glow, and the arrows were deflected, unable to penetrate Shield Mountain's defense.
Bomb Cat said proudly, "Shield Mountain is the most solid shield of the Great Wall Guard!"
