A Massive Explosion at the Evil God Temple
Because the retreat had been planned in advance, Gu Xi's troops were able to regroup very quickly.
Tens of thousands of people were exposed in less than a minute.
After closing the two City Gate, Gu Xi glanced at the time; there were only two minutes left.
Gu Xi didn't plan to wait any longer. He looked up and saw that the hand was still holding the Evil God Temple, which made Gu Xi feel a little regretful.
There was no chance to destroy this hand.
It would have been better if he hadn't taken the contents of the treasure chest so early.
Gu Xi sighed inwardly and muttered, "Life is rarely perfect; nine times out of ten, things don't go as planned."
He then stepped into the Teleportation Gate.
Fang Kang was speechless upon hearing Gu Xi's words.
"What kind of mess is this? You've already broken through your own line, defeated the final boss, and taken all of its treasure chests. You call this a life of disappointment? What else do you want to do?" Fang Kang muttered to himself as he looked up at the sky.
He noticed that the hand holding the Evil God Temple seemed to have a missing finger.
An idea suddenly popped into Fang Kang's mind.
"No way, that guy isn't thinking of knocking that hand off, is he? Is he crazy?"
Muttering to himself about this problem, Fang Kang ultimately decided not to linger any longer. Time was running out, and he stopped worrying about Li Dangna and the others, stepping directly out of the Teleportation Gate.
Meanwhile, Li Dangna, whom Gu Xi and the others were concerned about, just as they had guessed, abandoned the battle with the BOSS, returned the way they came, and rushed into the hall.
Inside the hall, the Teleportation Gate to leave the Evil God Temple had already been opened. After all, the Evil God Temple wasn't a place where death was certain, so it wouldn't prevent people from leaving.
However, neither Li Dangna nor Yuan Xihua were very lucky.
If they arrive one after the other, they can leave smoothly.
But at the same time, they all ran out from behind the tunnel they had attacked.
After meeting in Teleportation Gate, they initially suppressed some of their thoughts and decided to leave first.
But no one knows who snorted first, and the two sides started fighting in the hall.
At first, they were mindful of the situation and didn't go all out or deploy their troops. One used an axe, and the other used magic; they fought on their own.
But as the fighting went on, they got carried away.
They didn't care that they only had a few minutes left, and one by one they released their troops, and the two sides started fighting in the hall.
Their forces and strengths were roughly equal, but their attack methods differed somewhat.
Li Dangna's mage minions have little advantage in melee combat and are few in number, but they are capable of ranged area-of-effect attacks.
Yuan Xihua's Puppet were the opposite; they were strong in close combat and, like the undead under Gu Xi's command, had no worries about morale and could charge out to fight directly.
What's most special is that this time, when Yuan Xihua defeated the first BOSS, he obtained many shiny costume Puppet, which had special characteristics.
They can combine their bodies; as long as they can put their bodies together, they can deflect most of the attacks.
So Yuan Xihua released these costumed Puppet to deflect Li Dangna's area-of-effect attacks.
But he never expected that Li Dangna was also ruthless, and that Li Dangna had a forbidden spell army under her command.
This is the most terrifying existence in the mage army. They must appear on the battlefield, but they never take action. Instead, they need someone to protect them.
Their power will be revealed when they are needed; their first spell is a forbidden incantation.
A large number of them will die.
This time was no different; Li Dangna was furious when she saw the spell being bounced back.
"It's just some tattered clothes. I'll cast a forbidden spell on it. I don't believe I can't burn it."
At Li Dangna's command, only a few Forbidden Spellcaster gathered together, forming a circle and holding hands as they chanted incantations.
However, Li Dangna did not consider the current situation.
The spells used by Forbidden Spellcaster are random; when using them, one only needs to know that they will use corresponding spells based on the environment.
At the same time, when using spells, you can also cause Resonance in the surrounding environment, increasing the spell's attack range, lethality, and so on.
It can be said that if a forbidden spell is encountered, only a being like the Black Dragon, which is immune to any magical attack, could escape.
This time, the Forbidden Spellcaster chanted the incantation as before.
However, what they triggered was the energy source inside the Evil God Temple, which was preparing to Self-Destruct.
The moment the Forbidden Spellcaster made his move was precisely the moment Gu Xi stepped into the Teleportation Gate.
And the moment they released the forbidden spell was precisely the moment Fang Kang left.
After Fang Kang left, all the Teleportation Gate closed, and then the entire Evil God Temple exploded on the spot.
This forbidden spell prematurely triggered the massive explosion at the Evil God Temple.
At first, Li Dangna thought that a forbidden spell wouldn't take long. She thought that as long as she used the forbidden spell to kill Yuan Xihua, she would have about half a minute left to enter the Teleportation Gate.
She can still leave alive then, and she'll even have killed that nasty guy Yuan Xihua.
But she never expected that the forbidden spell she released would be like this. With the sound of the explosion, the flames spread outwards from the center of the Evil God Temple.
The sky was dyed crimson.
Everyone in the Stuttestrup World below sensed the anomaly in the sky. They all looked up and saw a new sun suddenly appear in the sky.
However, this strange phenomenon only lasted for less than ten minutes before disappearing.
Then the sky returned to its original color, and only a few sharp-eyed people could see a red hand with a burning tip rapidly retracting from the sky.
All of this has nothing to do with Gu Xi and Fang Kang.
They were unaware that they were officially leaving at the last moment.
If they hadn't left beforehand and had instead tried to escape in the final seconds, they probably would have died in that explosion too.
After all, with the Teleportation Gate sealed, their flight speed was simply no match for the shockwave of the explosion.
All they knew was that as soon as they came out of the Teleportation Gate, they were knocked to the ground by the shockwave from the explosion above, and the scorching heat almost dried them up.
Once everything had calmed down, Gu Xi got up and looked around.
He realized that he was now in the center of the High Mountain Castle, the White Castle.
The explosion just now destroyed those colorful buildings nearby.
The surrounding area is now filled with charred hard plastic, emitting a pungent smell.
Looking up at the sky, Gu Xi paused for a moment, then said with a look of lingering fear.
"The timing was wrong; the explosion was brought forward."
