The suction from the bag in Wen Ruyu's hand kept growing stronger, forcibly drawing in the enormous flaming spear. No matter how it struggled, it was powerless to resist.
"Hmph!"
Once the Flame Spear had been swallowed completely, she snorted and cinched the bag shut. It immediately shrank to palm size, and she tucked it into her bundle.
The spatial turbulence immediately subsided, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Lin moved swiftly underground.
Runic inscriptions flowed around him, settling the turbulent energy within his body.
Although that last assault from the Flame Spear had failed to break through his Nine-Layered Armor, it had still left him feeling far from comfortable.
He traveled for a while.
Suddenly, Chen Lin stopped.
To his surprise, the heat that had been growing ever more intense had inexplicably vanished!
There was only one possible explanation.
The Red-Clothed Boy had already been destroyed.
After a moment's hesitation, Chen Lin refrained from extending his perception and continued toward Sunset Lake.
Only this time, he moved much more cautiously.
Wen Ruyu and the others were stronger than he had imagined. He had originally thought that even if they managed to kill the flame spirit, they would suffer heavy losses. While the snipe and clam fought, he could play the fisherman and seize the Dawn Stone.
Now, it seemed he had underestimated them.
Especially Wen Ruyu.
A mid-stage dominator was still outrageously powerful, even under the rule suppression of the Life Ferry.
Moreover, a superpower like the Four Seasons Villa would certainly keep exploring the Life Ferry. There was no telling how many ferry items it possessed. It might even have something that allowed someone to retain their full cultivation after entering a Mission Plane.
The more Chen Lin thought about it, the more cautious he became.
